NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 141
Eastern All-Star locker room.

"I know that kid, he will definitely chase you one-on-one, he will not miss this opportunity." Garnett said loudly to others in the locker room, his voice was loud and he did not avoid the camera at all.

"Lee is really competitive," Bosh sighed.

"It's just a little bastard who likes to show off." McGrady said disdainfully.

Wade and James did not participate in their discussion, "LeBron, I will support you." Wade whispered to James, and James nodded firmly. Although what they were going to do was somewhat sorry for their little brother Paul, but for To suppress Li Zheng's increasingly popular reputation, James had to choose to take a slant.

All-Star Game MVP.

This kind of honor is really dispensable for superstars. No player has entered the top ten in history because of a certain All-Star Game MVP. Most of these honors belong to the host players. They belong to the unspoken rules and tacit understanding among players. , Just like this year's All-Star Game MVP should theoretically belong to Paul of the Hornets, Western players will create opportunities for Paul, and if the Western Conference wins the game, everything should be taken for granted.

It's a pity that James is not ready to let the theory become a reality. He is eager for honor, applause, and attention.Meng Qi's defeat put him at a disadvantage in the comparison with Li Zheng, and Li Zheng's brave performance in the NBA overwhelmed him even more. Now everyone is discussing whether Li Zheng can win the MVP, whether he can win the championship champion.

Who is the better player, Li Zheng or James, has almost lost his hot spot and popularity. He is second in the Western Conference, first in the MVP list, leading in scoring, and second in assists. Li Zheng is even better in terms of team record and personal performance.

James' heart aches like being repeatedly tormented by a small fire. He has never been a person who is willing to be ordinary and lonely. He can accept losing to Li Zheng, and he can accept failure, but this kind of loss of attention is no longer the focus of fans. It felt like he couldn't bear a second.

Fortunately, his good brother Wade is willing to wish him a helping hand. Since the start of the All-Star Game MVP, Li Zheng's arrogant character has made countless enemies. Both Garnett and McGrady in the East have expressly wanted to teach Li Zheng a lesson. He just needs to follow the trend , Get a good-looking stat, and you can win the All-Star Game MVP without bloodshed.

Faced with the wonderful picture of Li Zheng winning the MVP, future fans will not see them match up for a few rounds in the All-Star Game, nor will they see whether Li Zheng is really guarded, they only know LeBron James Stomping head-on to get the MVP from Li Zheng.

Is there anything better than this?

James smiled confidently. He adjusted his headband, hoping to cover his fading hairline. Wade looked at his best friend with a funny face. Paul or LeBron, this is a multiple-choice question without hesitation .

The atmosphere in the Western Conference locker room is more harmonious than James imagined.

"Long time no see, brother." Iverson bumped into Li Zheng's chest, then smiled bitterly and signed a thick postcard that Li Zheng handed over, "You have finally come to the right place."

"Long time no see." Anthony hugged Li Zheng complicatedly. Mengqi's defeat made him understand a lot. Catfish-shaped players like Li Zheng are an indispensable part of every team. The Nuggets are not weak, but the distance between The championship seems to be further away than the Blazers.

Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Nash, Duncan, these people all have a close relationship with Li Zheng, not to mention Stoudemire and Roy, as soon as Stoudemire saw Li Zheng, he picked him up and threw him in the sky. In the circle, Nash felt a little sour after reading it. At least the time that Stoudemire and him have been so close can be counted on the fingers, and it can even be said that they have never been.

"Boss, how about getting an MVP?" Stoudemire said excitedly. If he can get the MVP of the All-Star Game, Li Zheng will undoubtedly be the biggest winner of this All-Star Weekend this year, the champion of the three-pointer contest and the champion of the slam dunk contest. , MVP of the rookie game, except for the rejected skills challenge, Li Zheng has already completed the Grand Slam.

"Shut up." Li Zheng waved his hand, "When Chris passes you the ball, you have to get the ball in."

Stoudemire shrugged. Of course he knew that this year's MVP should belong to Paul, but this kind of thing has always been for the virtuous, and any star can get an award if he loses his face. Li Zheng doesn't want him to be too lazy to be a bad guy.

After hearing this, Paul looked at Li Zheng gratefully. As far as the Western Conference lineup is concerned, if Li Zheng made it clear that he wanted to compete for the MVP of the All-Star Game, he really had no chance to compete for it.

Paul seemed to have seen through his mind, and smiled a little embarrassedly. Li Zheng touched Paul's head, indicating that he had no desire to compete for fame and fortune.

"You have to work hard. I remember that if you lose, you won't get the MVP." Li Zheng reminded kindly.

Paul patted his chest, "Don't worry, my brothers will support me."

Li Zheng adjusted the shoelaces, "That's good."

The game kicked off with the cheers of the fans.

In the jump ball session, Yao Ming smiled and pulled Li Zheng to jump the ball with Garnett, and the audience burst into laughter.

The referee threw up the basketball, and Li Zheng showed his astonishing speed in everyone's surprised eyes. Li Zheng passed the ball to Nash. Garnett's face turned black, and he walked back to the Eastern half angrily.

Kobe chose to retire due to a finger injury, and Roy was also eligible to start. Nash handed over the basketball to Li Zheng. It's not James, but the radiant Wade.

"Wade took the initiative to switch to defend Lee. It seems that he is full of confidence in today's game." The commentators said with some embarrassment. Li Zheng has already played small forward, and James' avoidance is really unreasonable.

"Lee is a swingman, so it's okay to let Wade defend Lee." The commentators tried their best to excuse James, but Li Zheng handed the ball to Roy in desperation, as if he couldn't lift his spirits.

Not only did James fail to lead Li Zheng on the defensive end, but he also didn't perform very well on the offensive end. He just made two simple layups in the air. At the end of the first quarter, he pierced Wade's defense and went inside, almost dunking Garnett. Garnett sharply pulled down Li Zheng with a huge foul, avoiding being dunked. fate.

"You still want to detain me? Are you crazy?" Garnett said fiercely to Li Zheng.

"Call your boss, Pierce, I won't talk trash with the team's second child." Li Zheng's words made Garnett break even more. The blood vessels on Garnett's forehead were obviously protruding, but he could only watch. Watching Li Zheng easily complete the free throw, he put his index finger to his mouth to signal him to be quiet.

Garnett was furious, but James smiled with confidence.
