Legendary star

Chapter 243 An Incredible Match

On the evening of February 2001, 2, after the first half of the All-Star Game this season, the two teams returned to their locker rooms. In the locker room of the Western All-Stars, O'Neal in a suit and leather shoes was watching. , in the middle of the locker room constantly playing tricks, all the players present, including Adelman, were smiling.In this game, the Western All-Stars have a great advantage in the interior, so the entire first half was played very easily, 11 to 57. At the end of the half, the Western All-Stars had already led the Eastern All-Stars by nearly 48 points. The advantage, the Eastern All-Stars did not have any chances throughout the first half.

"Okay, guys, although we still have a big advantage, this game is only halfway through, so we are not in a relaxed time yet." When the intermission was about to end, the head coach of the Western All-Stars Delman, while clapping his palms, yelled loudly at these big names in the locker room, these guys are obviously too relaxed now, under such circumstances, there might be trouble.

On the other side, in the dressing room of the Eastern All-Stars, Larry Brown was doing the final mobilization before the game with a serious face. The Eastern All-Stars were at a slight disadvantage in this game, but there were still many players in the team. The team pretended to be dead because they wanted to hit the playoffs.Therefore, facing the current unfavorable situation on the field, Larry Brown is also somewhat helpless.As a team first, all styles of play require a reasonable head coach. Larry Brown's character and tactics are simply not suitable for the All-Star Game. If possible, Larry Brown does not want to participate in such an entertainment show.It's obviously a bunch of good ingredients, but it can't make a satisfactory dish. It's better to be out of sight than to be out of sight.

After a short break, the players of the two teams also walked out of the player channel again. Unlike the first half when both sides were very open, in the second half, whether it is the Western All-Star or the Eastern All-Star, both sides must take this All-Star The game was played as a real game.

Slightly different from the first half, this time whether it is the Eastern All-Stars or the Western All-Stars, the lineups of both sides have undergone some changes. First of all, for the Western All-Stars, Chris Webber sat on the bench. Duncan replaced Webber as center, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Meng Xu, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Jason Kidd.On the Eastern All-Star side, Larry Brown sent Dikambe Mutombo and Antonio Davis inside, small forward McGrady, shooting guard Vince Carter, and point guard Allen Iverson.

After Iverson dribbled the basketball through the middle circle in the backcourt, the second half of today's All-Star Game officially started, and Iverson, who was dribbling at this time, was also very entangled. No.1, originally in today's game, Iverson still had some ideas about the final MVP, but as the team continued to fall behind, Iverson's performance was also a bit struggling, from the first quarter's offensive desire , To the timidity in the second quarter, it is completely impossible to see that this is the usual Iverson who dares to do anything.Therefore, during the intermission, the head coach Larry Bird also repeatedly told Iverson that he will never win the game by relying on himself, and he must know how to trust his teammates.Unlike my CBA teammates in the 76ers, any of these players on the court can change the game, so Larry Brown also hopes that Iverson will play more reasonably in the second half , to control the rhythm on the field and create opportunities for his teammates. Only in this way can the Eastern Conference have a chance to win.

At the same time, as one of the Eastern All-Stars who performed best in the first half, McGrady is also full of confidence now. His fighting spirit and physical condition have been fully stimulated. "Defender" is basically a certainty, but due to Hill's reimbursement for the season, it is impossible for the weaker Magic to make any major breakthroughs in the record. Therefore, McGrady is very proud of any honor now. hunger and thirst.Originally, as a rookie who only entered the All-Star this year, McGrady has no chance of winning the MVP. After all, Iverson, Alan Houston and other bigwigs in this team have not even got involved with his cousin Carter. MVP, so McGrady had no idea about today's All-Stars before the game.It's just that after a confrontation with Meng Xu in the second quarter, McGrady has already scored the most points among all Eastern players, and as long as the Eastern All-Stars can win this game, then McGrady has a big advantage. It is possible to win the final MVP. Therefore, at the beginning of the second half of the game, McGrady showed a strong desire to score. After throwing Meng Xu away under the cover of Carter, McGrady reached out to Iverson for the ball directly. .

After the game entered the second half, several outsiders of the Eastern All-Stars found their hands one after another. At the same time, relying on the outstanding performance of Dikambe Mutombo, the point difference between the two sides was also constantly narrowing. The point difference has been narrowed to 5 points.But what is embarrassing is that when the two sides put on the bench again, the Western All-Stars' bench lineup beat the Eastern All-Stars violently, and they played a 3-12 climax in just 0 minutes. Under such circumstances, Larry Brown had to call the first timeout in the second half, but it was useless after changing to the main lineup. Finally, when the third quarter ended, 3 to 73, the Eastern All-Stars had already 93 points behind.

"How about it, Larry? The game is over." Since the start of this game, when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were discussing which side had a better chance of winning, the Magic chose the Western All-Stars, and Larry Bird Libold chose the two sides to open 55, so after the end of the 3rd quarter, Magic Johnson is also very happy with the current situation on the court. It is very happy to see his old friend make a fool of himself. things.

"Ervin, there are still 12 minutes in the game. Don't be too happy." After hearing Magic Johnson's ridicule, Larry Bird looked very calm, and even had a confident look on his face.

"Larry, I know it's hard for you to admit that you lost, but that's the truth." Looking at Larry Bird's face that refused to admit it, Magic Johnson also spread his hands and shrugged. shoulders, looking helpless.

Soon, the fourth quarter began. Unlike the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference who are still going all out, Adelman has now deployed all the substitutes, even Antonio Mack, who had hardly played in the previous game. Dice and Karl Malone also played. After Stockton lost this season's All-Star, Malone looked listless today.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the two sides played very fiercely. The Eastern All-Stars who were behind by a large score, under the leadership of Iverson and McGrady, rushed to catch up. It seemed that they were no longer in shape, so the point difference between the two sides was constantly narrowing. After the official timeout came in the fourth quarter, 93 to 102, the point difference between the two teams was once again narrowed to less than 10 points.

"Ervin, maybe even a 20-point difference is not so safe." When the timeout ended and players from the two teams played again, Eastern All-Star backup guard Stephen Marbury hit two consecutive 3-pointers, The point difference between the two teams was narrowed to 3 points. Under such circumstances, it was the first time that Larry Bird made a speech to tease his old buddy in this game.

As the point difference between the two teams is getting smaller and smaller, the situation on the field is getting more and more anxious, and after the Eastern All-Stars regained a slight advantage of 20 points, the fans on the field are also looking forward to the Eastern All-Stars We can reverse this game.

"There is a problem with Adelman's tactics. At this moment, as long as the ball is handed inside, there is no reason not to rely on Duncan and Garnett not to score." At the last moment of the game, the Western All-Stars clearly fell into a In the chaos, with a huge advantage in the interior, for several consecutive offenses, the Western All-Stars did not play the interior, but let Kobe play Vince Carter on the outside. Kobe made 4 offenses, hit 2 goals, and scored 5 goals. The efficiency can't be considered low, but the Eastern All-Stars on the opposite side, Tracy McGrady and Iverson each took two shots and hit them all.The Western Conference All-Stars, who were 3 points ahead at the end of the 20rd quarter, are now behind by 2 points.The current Magician Johnson has completely lost the high spirits just now, but has a sad face. Is he going to lose to that guy again this time?
Soon, Adelman on the sidelines called a timeout, and McGrady scored 29 points in the game after hitting the shot. With less than 2 minutes left, McGrady The score in this All-Star Game is likely to exceed 30 points.

"Jason, next, give the ball to Tim or Chris. We must play the inside resolutely. Meng and Kobe, you must focus on the defensive end, and don't let the boys in the East relax. scored." After replacing Garnett with his disciple Webber, and then rearranging the tactics behind with the tactical board, Adelman now also regrets it. Don't be so cruel, I feel that in the All-Star Game, it is unreasonable to beat the opponent with a big score. Now that it is better, let alone a big score, you may even lose the game.
