Legendary star

Chapter 240 All-Star Game

At 2001 o'clock in the evening on February 2, 11, the highly anticipated 7 All-Star Game will kick off in more than an hour. Compared with last year, this year's All-Star Game has added many new faces, many The stars of the older generation may be leaving the All-Star stage from now on.This year's Western All-Star, O'Neal was absent due to injury, Mike Finley and Stockton lost the two veterans, replaced by Meng Xu, Nowitzki and Antonio McDyess, and this All-Star may also be getting old Karl Malone and David Robinson's last All-Stars.

Compared with the West, the East's All-Star lineup has changed more. Last year's 12 All-Stars have replaced nearly half of them this year. Alonzo Mourning and Grant Hill are absent due to injuries. Reggie Miller, Dell - Davis, Eddie Jones dropped out, replaced by Tracy McGrady, Stephon Marbury, Latrell Sprewell, Anthony Mason Jr. and Antonio Davis .

And this year's All-Stars, there is also a very interesting phenomenon. Among the 12 All-Stars in the West, there are 8 insiders, while among the 12 All-Stars in the East, there are as many as 8 swingmen. It is also basically the same as the distribution of players in the current league. Now the outstanding insiders of the entire league are basically in the Western Conference, and most of the outstanding swingmen in the league are gathered in the Eastern Conference.

As the main meal of the All-Star Weekend, whether it is compared with the Rookie Challenge two days ago, or the 3-point contest, or even compared with the slam dunk contest, the All-Star Game is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.And now the entire MCI center arena is already full of seats. Today's game is a feast for the American basketball world, or the entire basketball world.

When the Western All-Stars of the visiting team took the lead, the entire MCI center arena erupted into enthusiastic cheers. In the past All-Star appearance ceremonies, O'Neal, who is good at being funny, was the first to appear on the stage, but this year in O'Neal After being absent due to injury, the appearance ceremony of the All-Stars in the Western Conference is much more mediocre than in previous years. As this year's All-Star starter, when Meng Xu played after Webber and Duncan, Meng Xu was only toward The entire audience waved.Unlike O'Neal, who likes to be funny, Duncan, who led the Western All-Stars to play this time, is too well-behaved. Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the Western All-Stars has become a lot more serious.

After the Western Conference All-Stars, when the host team played the Eastern Conference All-Stars today, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than just now. It’s just a little regrettable that, as the host of this year’s All-Stars, none of the players from the Washington Wizards can be selected for this year. All-Stars.

"In this game, from the perspective of the staffing of both sides, the Western All-Stars have a great advantage, and perhaps the Western All-Stars will always maintain this advantage in the future." When the players on both sides began to warm up, the game's The live commentator Michaels looked at the lineups of the two teams and said.Although there is no O'Neal in the Western Conference for this game, there are Webber and Duncan in the starting lineup, the two strongest of the "four power forwards", and there are Garnett, Nowitzki on the bench, Rasheed Wallace, David Robinson, Karl Malone, and Antonio McDyess are strong insiders, but for the Eastern All-Stars, the starting center turned out to be Antonio Davis, who is only 2 meters tall , and there is only Dikambe Mutombo as an orthodox insider on the bench. It is foreseeable that in this game, the Eastern All-Star insider will definitely be exploded miserably.

"El, you are too pessimistic. The Eastern Conference still has its own advantages. If the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars in this game is Pat Riley, I think he will definitely like the current lineup very much." As The representative of the Eastern Conference, Larry Bird, will more or less lean towards the Eastern All-Stars when he speaks.

"Larry, it also needs a point guard like me. Maybe it's okay to give Meng to the East. I don't think Stephen and Allen can organize this team well." Magic Johnson on the side heard After Larry Bird's statement, he immediately retorted not to be outdone.The two guards in the East, whether it is Allen Iverson or Marbury, are the kind of shooting guards who wear the skin of point guards. Therefore, the current Eastern Conference All-Stars also lack an orthodox point guard.

"Ervin, what age is it now? There are enough point forwards on the Eastern All-Star side. Even without point guards, they can still play well." The game has not yet started, Larry Bird and the magician The two of Johnson got into the fight first. You must know that the relationship between these two guys is very good in private. Even if they commented on the game together before, there was no dispute between the two, and this game does not know that the two guys did it on purpose. In making some gimmicks, there are still irreconcilable differences between the two people.

"Ervin, then which team do you like in this game?" Michaels, who was sandwiched between Larry Bird and the Magician who was about to quarrel, was also dumbfounded, and immediately began to interject , wanting to interrupt the quarrel between the two.

"Of course, I am optimistic about the All-Stars in the Western Conference. This is a game without any suspense." After Magic Johnson finished speaking, he cast a glance at Larry Bird, and at the same time cursed in his heart, this old man did not obey the rules. , wanting to break the bet between the two.

"So, Larry, what about you?"

"Both sides have opportunities. The Western All-Stars seem to have certain advantages, but it is hard to say whether this advantage can be transformed into a victory."

Just when Magic Johnson wanted to refute Larry Bird, the game officially began. After Chris Webber easily defeated Antonio Davis in the jump ball, the basketball was handed over to the Western Conference All-Stars In the hands of point guard Kidd, Kidd is an orthodox point guard compared to those guards in the East who are more offensive than the organization, and now he is an All-Star. Every player on the field has a very strong offensive ability, so now The situation on the court is that whoever has a good chance, Kidd will pass the ball to whomever.

Since it was the All-Star game, the team's joint training only lasted one afternoon, so neither side could play any effective tactical coordination.Even famous coaches like Adelman and Larry Brown can't combine a group of superstars in one afternoon, so now whether it's the Eastern All-Stars or the Western All-Stars It's an xjbd tactic, whoever has a good chance will go, or everyone will take turns.

In this first round, Duncan easily squeezed away Anthony Mason Jr. who was defending him, and as soon as Duncan appeared open, Kidd immediately handed the basketball into Duncan's hands, and Duncan turned around easily , he passed Anthony Mason Jr. again, and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.

Unlike the Western All-Stars who played inside from the beginning, the Eastern All-Stars without any inside advantages can only make a fuss on the outside. After Iverson dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, through continuous cross steps, he swayed very easily. After driving Kidd, he rushed directly to the area below the free throw line, made an emergency stop jumper, and tied the score for the Eastern Conference.

When the game progressed to the third minute, Meng Xu finally ushered in a chance. After Duncan, Webber, Kobe, and even Kidd each played at least once in singles, this time Kidd handed over the basketball to Meng Xu. .

"I'll go, you guys are obviously rascals." When Meng Xu held the ball outside the 3-point line, Vince Carter immediately posted it, and McGrady also moved to a place not far from Meng Xu, obviously preparing Double-teaming Meng Xu, or blocking Meng Xu's breakthrough route in advance.Didn't you say that you can't double-team in the All-Star Game?
Meng Xu took a step back, slightly opened the distance between him and Carter, and then directly began to break through inward. Just after Meng Xu left Carter behind with a change of direction, McGrady immediately rushed up and fought with Meng Xu. Carter behind Xu formed a double-team situation against Meng Xu.

Facing McGrady and Carter, whose physical talents surpassed his own by a lot, Meng Xu kept lowering his body's center of gravity and increasing the range of direction changes when he continued to make breakthroughs, so that Meng Xu made the second change of direction. At this time, the distance between the knee and the ground is less than 10 centimeters.

Although the Eastern All-Stars are slightly inferior in height, in terms of maneuverability and moving speed, this group of forwards and guards is undoubtedly the top in the league. Just after Meng Xu got rid of McGrady, Antonio Davis immediately He gave up the entanglement with Weber and rushed towards Meng Xu. At the same time, Carter behind Meng Xu also caught up again.

Seeing that Meng Xu has been blocked by Antonio Davis, and Carter is going around from behind Meng Xu, preparing to double-team Meng Xu again, by the way, when he makes a mistake or steals, Carter finds that Meng Xu is now changing direction. The range of the attack was a little bigger than before, and now Meng Xu's knee was basically stuck to the ground, and even if he wanted to make a steal, he had no chance.

At this time, Antonio Davis suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing through him. Meng Xu, who was dribbling the basketball in a very low posture, suddenly picked up his fingertips, and the basketball passed through Antonio Davis' block, and Meng Xu passed through the gap between Antonio Davis and Carter very elegantly, and Meng Xu, who passed through the defense of Carter and Davis, once again lightly touched the basketball that was almost touching the ground with his fingertips. At one point, the entire basketball quickly rebounded into the air, and at this time Meng Xu also quickly raised his body, took the rebound into the air and rushed directly towards the basket.
