Standing pretty old

Chapter 578

"Shaq said that this will be his last All-Star. I thought it was just his modest remarks. Now it seems that Shaq is very self-aware." Barkley opened his mouth during the break of the festival.

He wouldn't be Charles Barkley if he didn't say that.

Kenny Smith said: "Maybe it's just because the Chinese people are too strong? After watching the slam dunk contest yesterday, I thought this guy might really be from Mars!"

Charles Barkley smugly said: "Yes! So I'm still the strongest basketball player on earth!"

Kevin Harlan on the side couldn't help but continued, "Because Michael Jordan and Kraft Ruan are both from Mars?"

Barrick laughed and said, "Of course! The officials of Area 51 should hurry up and do research on these non-human beings. They have disrupted the balance of the game."

Well, whether it's for the balance of the game, or for the other All-Star players to have enough playing time.

Anyway, after the start of the All-Star second quarter, Ruan Erniu got a long rest as usual.

Even without him on the court, though, the Eastern Conference All-Stars were good enough.

Although there is no offensive firepower like Iverson, Bibby is relatively reliable in combing offense.

Dwight Howard, who lost his starting position, also performed well on both ends of the offense and defense, especially the defensive end of the interior put a lot of pressure on the Western All-Stars.

It can be said that Ruan Erniu is definitely not the only Eastern star who wants to win the game.

Although there are rumors that the alliance has a script, even if it is deduced according to the thinking of the most senior conspiracy theorists, there is still a problem that needs to be solved. Will the alliance only arrange one script?

At least Paul Pierce, who came off the bench, expressed with practical actions that he is not interested in the so-called preset plot.

On the offensive end of the East, Bibby passed the ball to Chris Bosh, Bosh passed the ball to Granger, and Granger then passed the ball to PP.

Pierce's horns singled out Dirk Nowitzki.

Ok?Actually the German driver is defending the truth?

That's right, because the West is at the 3rd position, there is really no more suitable candidate than this.

Think about it, Daidai, Xidi, Jiasao, David West and the driver, these guys who have entered the Western Conference All-Stars are all the fourth positions in their respective teams. After searching the entire Western Conference, they actually need Kobe or Ronaldo. From time to time, Yi went to play the No. 3 guest role, which was also intoxicating.

Well, this can be regarded as the norm in the West. Anyway, the 4th position here has been in a state of star surplus in those few seasons.

Of course, there is nothing to be proud of in the East. The point guard line composed of Iverson and Bibby is also completely blown by Paul, Parker, and Billups in terms of organization.

But on the other hand, there are a bunch of ball-handling madmen in the East: A KING, Cheeks, Jiongsen, etc. It seems that they don’t need the help of traditional point guards. Ruan Erniu of the ball, no matter how you look at it, the possession of the ball in the East is not enough!

However, none of this will affect Pierce's grasp of dislocation singled out Nowitzki.

Backs, feints, tentative steps, feints, and throwbacks.

Some people once said that Nowitzki is actually a large Pierce. Yes, the German driver has always been at the 4th position, playing as a small forward.

But on the defensive end, when Nowitzki really faced the league's top swingman Pierce, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of PP.

"brush!"

Quickly and neatly shoot and score, but this is only the beginning of Pierce's performance.

In the next few rounds, Pierce suddenly ushered in an explosion, making sudden shots from inside and outside, and succeeded in continuously overpowering Nowitzki by virtue of the dislocation advantage.

While opening the score between the two sides, he also became the first player to score in double figures among the All-Stars of the East and West teams.

The official timeout is up. If the time is not up, Phil Jackson is ready to take the initiative to call a timeout.

In fact, it has completely deviated from the script. Now Jackson needs to think about how to help the West win the game. As for the ownership of AMVP, it is no longer the focus.

Because once the Western Conference loses, the league will certainly not take the risk of deliberately awarding the AMVP trophy to Kobe and O'Neal.

Ruan Erniu and Pierce went crazy, allowing the Eastern All-Stars to take the lead.

"It's my turn to play!" Kobe volunteered.

He is sitting next to Phil Jackson. There are not many triangle offenses to arrange in the All-Star Game. Black Mamba doesn't like Phil's set of things in his bones, but for the championship, he can learn and endure.

When it came to the All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant just wanted to unleash his strongest firepower.

"Go ahead, Kobe!"

Phil Jackson also understands that it is useless to talk too much. The Mamba is already hungry and thirsty. If this is the case, let him go to the court to perform well.

Kobe would never let go of this opportunity. Just after playing, under the defense of Jon Jonson, he forcibly leaned back and hit a difficult 3-pointer.

Mamba show begins!

Low post, high tentative step, classic picturesque backward projection, and clean cut to the basket to score points.

Whether it is Jiong Jisen who directly defended him, Pierce and James who defended him in a misplaced position, or Sau Wei who put on his face again and put blue trademark tape on his face, there is no way to stop this bloodthirsty Mamba.

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Western All-Stars caught up with the score.

Woodson shook his head and said to Ruan Erniu beside him, "Go on the field! Do what you should do!"

Ruan Erniu walked to the sidelines, replaced Dwight Howard after a dead ball, and returned to the court. He will definitely finish the rest of the second quarter.

Er Niu didn't wait for the pass in the low post. This is an All-Star game. Unless the whole team is willing to pass the ball for you, there is no reason to go to the low post and wait for an opportunity.

Ruan Erniu took the initiative to raise the position of the top arc of the three-point line, helping the golfers to open up the inside line.

Cheek broke through with the ball, and when facing the double-teaming of Duncan and David West, he sent the ball to Ruan Erniu outside the top arc.

"brush!"

Ruan Erniu made a three-pointer and hit!

At the same time, he also became the third player in the game to score in double figures.

Judging from the current situation, he, Pierce and Kobe are all very promising players to compete for AMVP qualifications.

Billups held the ball for halftime and then sent the ball to Kobe. The guy with a simple style of play is destined not to be the protagonist of the All-Star.

Kobe held the ball in a high position and faced the cheeky defense in a three-threat posture.

The feint didn't shake the opponent, but Gasol, a good teammate, was already on the screen.

With the help of Mrs. Jia's cover, Kobe threw off his cheeks and entered the penalty area. Ruan Erniu immediately put down his defense against Deng and rushed over.

After the two met in the air, Kobe completed the throw against Ruan Erniu.

"brush!"

"beep!"

The referee's whistle is later, but the result will not change.

Score counts, plus penalty.

The black mamba showed his fangs!

But Ruan Erniu would never back down. Iverson held the ball in the frontcourt and also sent the ball to Ruan Erniu, who requested a high position.

Duncan's defense is quite in place, but Er Niu's turn is even sharper.

Duncan, who was out of position, had to retreat again and again, trying to build the last barrier under the basket and David West who came to defend.

But at this time, Erniu directly leaned back and shot with straight arms from the middle distance, completing the attack in the most Kobe way.

Even if they were not in the same position, Ruan Erniu responded in his own way.

The defensive intensity of both sides is no longer like playing an All-Star game.

It has to be said that with the strong performance of Erniu, Kobe, Pierce and other players, the game has entered a duel state ahead of schedule.
