Legendary star

Chapter 338 The same game trend

When the first half of the All-Star game ended and all the Eastern All-Stars returned to the locker room, almost all the players leaned against the locker without saying a word.The Eastern Conference All-Stars trailed by 21 points at halftime. In the first half of the game, the Eastern Conference All-Stars not only had no tricks on the offensive end, but also failed to guarantee the most basic rebounds on the defensive end. The internal gap between the two sides It's too big. As long as Webber, Duncan, and Garnett hit the basket, even Mutombo can only watch them grab the rebound and complete the second offense. The Western All-Stars are in the first half. He grabbed 10 more rebounds for the entire game.

Eastern All-Star head coach Byron Scott, after scanning the players around him, scratched the back of his head helplessly. In fact, from the second quarter, Byron Scott wanted to use Jermaine O'Neal replaced an outside line to strengthen the team's inside strength, but after careful consideration, Byron Scott gave up this plan. The four outside lines of the Eastern All-Stars, Kidd is his disciple, Iverson It's today's host, Meng Xu is the new star that the league touts, and the other one is Jordan, it's not appropriate to replace anyone.After dispelling the idea of ​​substituting, Byron Scott experimented with the tactics of one big and four small in the second quarter, but Mutombo's lethality and containment power at the basket were too small , Even Webber can't handle the offensive end alone. After Mutombo can't take on the heavy responsibility, all tactics can't work.

"Guys, the next game, we need to get serious." After an opening remark broke the silence in the locker room, Byron Scott walked directly towards Iverson. , The desire to attack is really too strong. In addition to these All-Stars in the East who deliberately played for him, Iverson alone accounted for one-third of the shots in the first half of the game, so I want to There was a change in the following games, and Iverson had to give up this style of play in the first half. Byron Scott stopped when he was more than one meter away from Iverson: " Allen, we all know what you're thinking, but if we lose today, it's all over."

"I see, coach." Iverson wiped the sweat from his head, and then covered his head with a towel. Since entering the league in 96, Iverson has grown into a superstar step by step, gaining countless fans and Praise, but apart from two scoring champions and a few best teams, Iverson really has no honors to show for it. He finally reached the finals last season and was beaten all over the floor by the Lakers Looking for teeth, even the 76ers are in a slump. This season has fallen to the edge of the playoffs and is struggling. Therefore, Iverson is now very eager to win today's MVP. Add an important accolade to your career.

When the intermission ended and the starting players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel again, amidst the cheers of the audience, no one would have noticed Byron Scott, who was at the end of the line with a dignified face Well, as the head coach of the All-Star and a nanny coach, Byron Scott originally only needed to be a hands-off shopkeeper in this game, but when he thought of his first All-Star coaching trip, It is possible that after a terrible loss, Byron Scott could not bear it.Byron Scott is not a head coach with great prestige like Chuck Daly and Pat Riley, who can make these star players bend to their will and play according to their own tactical arrangements, so although Iverson has agreed himself, but Byron Scott was still a little uneasy.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Meng Xu quickly sent the baseline ball. After receiving the pass from Meng Xu, Jordan handed the basketball to point guard Kidd, and the second half of the All-Star Game began again.

In the first half of the game, Kobe, who performed the best in the Western All-Stars, is also very excited now, following Iverson inseparably. Like Iverson, Kobe is also determined to win today's MVP. With the score leading, as the player with the most points in the Western Conference, Kobe has a great chance of winning today's mvp.After winning the coveted championship last season, Kobe this season is extremely eager for any personal honor, knowing that he cannot win the regular season MVP, so the All-Star MVP is undoubtedly a heavyweight honor for Kobe , if he can get today's MVP, then Kobe can be sure that his status in the league and the Lakers will rise further.After experiencing the playoffs last season, Kobe, who has successfully become one of the best players in the league, was very satisfied with the praise he received, but when Kobe found out that his old opponent Meng Xu had left the Spurs , after leaving Duncan and becoming the boss of the Pacers, and leading the Pacers into a prosperous life, Kobe felt a little jealous in his heart, and now Kobe, who is competitive, has a kind of , Like Meng Xu, the idea of ​​leading a team by himself.

"Beautiful fadeaway jumper." When Jordan ran out of the open space and Kidd's pass was in Jordan's hands in an instant, Magic Johnson also sighed when he saw Jordan's superb backward jumper. If it wasn't for Jordan's The physical fitness and physical strength are a little bit behind, this guy will still be the best scorer in this league.

After seeing Jordan's licensed "fadeaway jumper", Kobe returned to the offensive end, and after receiving a pass from Francis, he replicated an almost god-like body movement on Iverson's head from beyond the 3-point line , is also a picturesque fadeaway jumper, but Kobe's shot failed to hit.

"Meng, grab the rebound." Due to the lack of helpers, in the first half of the game, although Mutombo was able to judge the landing point of the rebound almost every time, he watched Webber or Duncan again and again. Stuck yourself, the rebound was robbed, so after the start of the second half, Mutombo also changed his strategy of grabbing rebounds. Flying over his head, Mutombo just didn't grab it, but stuck Webber behind him tightly, and at the same time stretched out a hand to grab Duncan on the other side.

Due to his excellent wingspan, bounce and full-value backboard attributes, Meng Xu's backboard ability is still very good, but in today's game, there are Webber, Duncan and Garnett on the opposite side. , Meng Xu can also grab long rebounds, don't even think about short rebounds, but this time when Webber was caught by Mutombo and Duncan was sluggish because Mutombo grabbed his jersey, the edge of the paint area Meng Xu rushed over directly and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Meng Xu, who grabbed the rebound from the backcourt, first handed the basketball to Kidd at the top of the arc. Meng Xu, who had already crossed the free throw line, made a long pass and threw the basketball over the basket.

Similar to what Byron Scott thought, when Iverson reduced the number of singles with the ball and began to tear the opponent's defense by running without the ball, the offense among the Eastern All-Stars became more and more smooth.Not only Iverson, Meng Xu and Jordan's off-ball running positions are also top-notch. After the defensive line, the weakness of the tall insiders of the Western All-Stars was revealed. Except for Kobe, neither Garnett nor Duncan could keep up with Meng Xu and Jordan. The Western All-Stars, who were still solid in the first half, In the minutes after the start of the third quarter, it was already leaking like a wreck.

Because of this, Meng Xu and Jordan, who barely played in the first half, took more and more shots, and the point difference between the two teams was constantly being narrowed.And the direction of this game is becoming more and more similar to last year's All-Star Game. The Western All-Stars, who are dominant inside, made great strides in the first half, creating a huge point difference advantage, and there was nothing to fight back throughout the first half. The powerful Eastern All-Stars also started a counterattack in the third quarter.
