Legendary star

Chapter 244 All-Star MVP
After the game restarted in the last minute or so, Duncan missed Mutombo's singles first, and then Iverson's breakthrough layup was recklessly missed by Duncan.With only 1 minute and 1 seconds left in the clock, Duncan once again singled the ball against Mutombo. After encountering Carter's double-team, Duncan quickly distributed the ball to Webber on the flank, but Webber failed to make a mid-range shot. A hit, McGrady, who grabbed a backcourt rebound, and Iverson, who directly made a long pass to the top of the arc, quickly launched a fast break, and Iverson made a layup before Meng Xu returned to the defense, and the Eastern All-Stars took the lead. It was extended to 14 points, and now there are only 4 seconds left before the end of the game.

"Ervin, are the Western All-Stars going to lose?" With 58 seconds left, the Western All-Stars, who were leading by 20 points, are now behind by 4 points. After overtaking the score, the Eastern All-Stars The morale of the stars is booming now. Under such circumstances, it is really possible for the Western All-Stars who have a great advantage to lose.In case the Western All-Stars really lose, then the 20-point lead is reversed, which will also set a historical record for the NBA All-Star Game.

"This, this, it's such a pity..." Seeing that the Western All-Stars have been reversed, Magic Johnson in the commentary booth also had an incredible expression on his face. The 20-point advantage is gone. Magic is now too embarrassed to see Larry Bird.

"Meng, you don't want to get rid of me this time." After Meng Xu sent the baseline ball, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and as soon as he passed the middle circle, McGrady stuck up.

"Tracey, your performance is very good. However, I must be the final winner of this game." After Meng Xu finished speaking, he immediately accelerated and threw away half a body of McGrady.Originally, Meng Xu thought that in this game, with such a big advantage in the Western Conference All-Stars, he would definitely not have the opportunity to use the "pretentious moment", but in the fourth quarter of the game, a group of swingers in the Eastern Conference, without warning It broke out, and this gave him a chance to perform miracles again.

"Start the moment of pretense."

Just after Meng Xu got rid of McGrady through the cover of Kobe, and saw Kidd pass the basketball to Duncan again, Meng Xu directly reached out to Duncan for the ball, and Duncan hesitated for a while, and chose Believe in Meng Xu, after all, even in the current Spurs, Meng Xu is the No. 1 pick for executing key shots, and Meng Xu has never missed a key shot since entering the league. Very trustworthy.

Meng Xu, who was still within the 3-point line, continued to run outside the 3-point line after receiving a pass from Duncan, and at this time McGrady followed up again.When one foot stepped on the 3-point line, Meng Xu jumped up directly, then turned his back in the air, and in the shock on McGrady's face, he reluctantly threw the basketball before he landed.

"Oh, God, you can still shoot like this." Seeing Meng Xu's shooting posture turning around in the air, Michaels on the sidelines shouted and stood up directly.And Larry Bird and the magician next to Michaels also looked at each other with incredible expressions.

After the basketball thrown by Meng Xu went into the net, almost all the fans in the entire MCI Center Arena stood up, looking at Meng Xu who was sitting on the ground because of the shot just now, after a short silence , The entire MCI center arena immediately boiled.

"Meng, you can't guard me." Soon, after Meng Xu hit this 3-pointer, the Eastern All-Stars once again cooperated with Carter and McGrady, and McGrady hit a mid-range shot with 38 minutes left. Seconds later, the point difference between the two teams came to 3 points again.At this time, Adelman also immediately called a timeout.

"Meng, do you have any questions?" After Adelman looked around at the players around him, he finally settled on Meng Xu. Just like Duncan chose to believe in Meng Xu, Adelman also chose to believe in Meng Xu. Believe in Meng Xu at the last moment.

"No problem." Meng Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded at Adelman. I am the best at key shots and lore.

"Okay, let's finish this attack as quickly as possible, and Meng will execute this shot. Chris, you will cover for Meng. If it hits, then we will retreat quickly to try to delay time. It is best It can be delayed for more than 15 seconds. If it fails to hit, then it will foul Dicambe.” Soon, Adelman worked out the next tactics.With 38 seconds left in the time, Adelman chose to quickly complete an attack within 10 seconds. In this way, in the remaining time, even if the Eastern All-Stars push the time to 24 seconds before making a shot, the Western All-Stars still have 1 chance to make a shot.

After the whistle sounded for the resumption of the game, when McGrady, who was defending Meng Xu, was blocked by Webber, Duncan on the sidelines made a very precise long pass and directly passed the basketball to Meng Xu, who was moving at a 3-degree angle to the opposite 45-point line. , and Meng Xu did not make any adjustments after receiving the pass from Duncan. He shot directly one step outside the 3-point line and made a shot, 116 to 116. The All-Star team tied the game.

After Meng Xu equalized the score, Larry Brown did not call a timeout, but made a gesture to Iverson on the court. There were 31 seconds left. It's possible, and now there is only time to press the time, and then make a steady shot, and then defend the remaining few seconds, then the game is over.

Sure enough, after Larry Brown gestured towards Iverson, Iverson, who was about to speed up, slowed down instantly. After dribbling through the middle circle, he stopped at the position between the top of the arc and the middle circle. While slapping the basketball, he looked up at the timer from time to time.And Iverson's teammates all pulled away to create opportunities for Iverson.

Soon, with 24 seconds left in the 7-second period, Iverson started. After an accelerated change of direction and Kidd, facing Duncan who was defending himself, Iverson used With an emergency stop and a change of direction, I passed Duncan again. Less than 5 meters away from the basket, Iverson made an emergency stop jumper, 118 to 116, and the Eastern All-Stars once again overtook the score.

"Ervin, Larry, who do you think the Western All-Stars will make the last shot?" After Iverson made a mid-range shot, he left 9.5 seconds for the Western All-Stars. There is enough time to complete the last shot, but the All-Stars in the Western Conference have many big-hearted players, so it is also very difficult to decide who will execute the last shot.

"Of course it's Meng." Just after Michaels finished asking, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson said Meng Xu's name in unison. Teacher Johnson also looked at each other and smiled.

Larry Brown may also know the candidate for the final shot of the Western All-Stars, so he chose to use McGrady and Carter to attack Meng Xu. When Meng Xu led McGrady and Carter towards the middle circle, the basketball in Duncan's hand But it passed directly to Kobe. After seeing Kobe receiving the ball, McGrady immediately gave up Meng Xu's double-team and ran back to defend Kobe.After Kobe received the ball, he also wanted to press the time, but at this moment, McGrady's defense was in place. At the same time, when there were 4 seconds left in the time, Mutombo, who was originally defending Duncan, dropped it directly. Duncan, rushed over to double-team Kobe.

Faced with McGrady and Mutombo's double-team, Kobe immediately passed the basketball to Meng Xu who moved from the center circle to the left 3-point line after taking off, and after Meng Xu received the ball, facing Carter's defense, Without making any adjustments, he just took off and shot. The moment the basketball left his hand, the timer reset to zero, and everything was just right.

"This game is over. Relying on Meng Xu's three consecutive 3-pointers at the last moment, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars 3-119." After Meng Xu's lore hit, amidst the cheers of the audience , Michaels stood up and began to summarize the game.

"Although I lost the game in the end, I still want to say, boys in the East, you are really great, and you almost made history." After the whistle blew at the end of the game, the three commentators of the game , all stood up and made the final summary for this year's All-Star Game, and Magic Johnson also unreservedly sent his own praise to the All-Stars in the East.

"Yes, you teamed up to present a wonderful game to audiences all over the world, especially the duel between Meng Xu and McGrady. There is no doubt that the two of them are the two best in this league at present. Small forward, I’m already looking forward to next year’s All-Star Game.” Judging from the results of this game, neither of Larry Bird and Magic lost the opening bet, so now the two The mood is also good, and in the end, Larry Bird once again boasted about Meng Xu and McGrady.The performance of Meng Xu and McGrady in this game is also worthy of praise. McGrady contributed a game-high 34 points and 5 rebounds in this game.And Meng Xu also contributed 33 points and 4 rebounds.

"Meng, congratulations, your performance is very good, you are the star of the stars today." In this game, Meng Xu won the final MVP without any dispute.And when Meng Xu held up the All-Star Game MVP trophy he took over from David Stern, this year's All-Star Game officially came to an end.

　I don't know if there are any fans who watched the 01 All-Star Game?The All-Stars that year were the most exciting year after 00. They were beaten by the Eastern All-Stars in the whole game. Under the situation of 20 points behind, under the leadership of Iverson and Political Commissar Ma, a wave of 3-point rain , the game was reversed, and the scene of Carter blocking Duncan at the last moment of the game is even more classic.
