Standing pretty old

Chapter 581 Reelected AMVP
There is a saying that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people.

Kobe and O'Neal adhered to the high-level will of the league, which is the time.

Stoudemire sits in Phoenix, which accounts for geography.

But in the presence of Eastern Conference head coach Woodson and the Hawks' quartet, none of the above is enough.

The reason why Ruan Erniu is so emboldened and dares to break the so-called unspoken rules of the league or script A is definitely not because he has just been crowned the slam dunk champion, which led to his own arrogance and self-importance.

In essence, Ruan Erniu just saw the trend. In fact, he himself was part of script B.

Phil Jackson took advantage of the timeout to rearrange his defensive tactics, but the improvised Western Conference stars must be full of loopholes in response to the defending champion's offensive model that has been integrated for more than a season.

Ruan Erniu held the ball in a low position, Nowitzki pounced on him immediately, and Ruan Erniu immediately passed the ball to the unguarded Moon Eclipse.

Of course, Lunar Eclipse would not let go of this performance opportunity. He took a big stride into the air and completed the attack with a wonderful gliding dunk.

Phil Jackson frowned off the court. The Chinese people are too calm, and there is no chance of winning in the Western Conference.

This is a whole that is fighting against a mess, unless Kobe can suddenly transform into a killing mode and has unlimited shot rights, it is possible to fight the East.

But this in itself is unrealistic, because in the All-Star game, Phil Jackson couldn't balance the playing time of other Western All-Stars and indulged Kobe to get so many shots.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the offense in the West has gradually improved.

Both Dirk Nowitzki and Stoudemire hit consecutive mid-range shots, which made the West team once again delay the situation that was about to collapse.

In the East, although Ruan Erniu was slightly restricted on the offensive end, while reducing his shots, he still sent many second passes and quietly garnered assists.

It can be said that by the second half of the third quarter, the situation has been completely controlled by the Eastern All-Stars headed by the Eagles.

This guy Woodson is really good at it, he won't make a change if he doesn't say a change, he let the Big Four of the Eagles play together for more than 7 minutes, during which time he was only at the third position, and Danny was changed once. * Granger.

As a result, the leader of the Pacers also integrated well into the Hawks as a whole. With the assists of Er Niu and Jon Jonson, he hit 2 and 3 points, which opened the score between the two teams in one fell swoop.

With less than 1 minute left in the third quarter, Woodson replaced the Big Four of the Eagles in turn, and the East took the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattack led by Billups at this time.

At 95:89, the Eastern All-Stars entered the final quarter with a 6-point lead.

When the Big Four of the Hawks were on the court at the same time, the Western Conference All-Stars had no power to fight back. Although both sides were the most talented basketball players on the planet, the side with a system was stronger than the side without a system most of the time.

Ruan Erniu scored 28 points, 20 rebounds, and 9 assists in three quarters, ranking first among the Eastern All-Stars in points, rebounds, and assists.

In the West, only Kobe overwhelmed the top two with 29 points, and still retains the hope of competing for the AMVP, but the premise is that the West can finally reverse the score and defeat the Eastern All-Stars.

Will Woodson let that happen?

Since he dared to play the Hawks four-man team for a long time in the third quarter, he can also put on such a formation in the fourth quarter.

More importantly, the Big Four of the Hawks are far more valuable than the Pistons in terms of talent and viewing, so even if Woodson puts them on the court for a long time, it will not reduce the viewing of the game.

The last quarter of the game started quickly, and the Western All-Stars, who were unwilling to lose at home, first launched a counterattack. (Phoenix belongs to the West, so it can be regarded as the home of the West.)
The host, Stoudemire, even attacked the basket again and again, dunking on the basket many times, helping the Western All-Stars catch up.

The Eastern side was also not to be outdone. Paul Pierce reappeared as a veteran, and he was not soft at the critical moment. He hit consecutive three-pointers and helped the Eastern Conference to maintain the score advantage.

The All-Star has become a regular season with high defensive intensity. The stars of each team are no longer obsessed with performances, and have shown their true skills.

Here Brand Roy just completed a magic handover layup.

Over there, D. Wade immediately turned into the Flash and used the classic Eurostep to shake off Duncan's supplementary defense and successfully dunk with one arm.

Chris Paul's defense against AI is a fadeaway three-pointer.

Turning around and stealing, Iverson also used CROSSOVER to pass CP3 without showing any weakness, and then succeeded in picking the basket in front of Stoudemire.

Subsequently, Kobe Bryant, who scored the highest scoring 14 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, returned to the court.

As soon as he came on the court, he completed the attack with a difficult fadeaway in the defense of LeBron James.

Ruan Erniu was also immediately replaced on the court. Facing Duncan's defense, Erniu turned his back to the basket at a high position. After a tentative step, he flew into the basket with one hand and held the basketball high for three steps. For a layup, Paul Gasol, who was facing the supplementary defense, made a dunk and scored 2+1 by the way.

The two sides are coming and going, not giving in to each other.

Just when everyone thought that the two sides would fight to the last moment through a direct duel between the superstars.

In the last 5 minutes of the last quarter, with the Eastern Conference only leading by 4 points, Woodson waved his hand, and the Big Four of the Eagles once again appeared on the field at the same time.

This is a substitution that is enough to change the situation on the field. Charles Barkley shook his head and said: "This means that the West will face the biggest challenge. They must block the Hawks' overall offense."

On the defensive end of the East, Kobe held the ball from the outside. Facing Jon Jonson's defense, he chose to break through with the ball and forced a large two-pointer from 22 feet on the wing.

Another typical Kobe shot, poor shot selection, but once he got in, he was a hero.

"boom!"

God decided this shot, Ruan Erniu got the backboard and immediately started the "Bull Sprint"!
Gasol, who was closest to Erniu, wanted to block him, but he failed to put enough defensive pressure on Erniu.

Ruan Erniu passed Gasol with the ball in one step, and there was already a smooth road ahead of him.

The Celestials held the ball all the way to the opponent's half court. Kobe pursued quickly, but after the confrontation between the two, the strong Ruan Erniu managed to push Kobe aside, and finally completed the game with a powerful dunk. Offensive and defensive transition.

Subsequently, the Big Four of the Eagles played a tacit understanding, and with the help of the overall offensive system, they opened up the scores of the two teams.

After all, it was an All-Star game, and performances were the main focus. The Western All-Stars saw that the general trend was over, and they did not resort to fouls to stop their opponents.

129:118, the two sides completely let go of their defense in the last period of the last quarter, fought aggressively, and finally scored a high score.

Such a score is still a bit low for an All-Star Game, but it is still reasonable.

Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 36 points, but as the loser, he was not eligible for the AMVP trophy.
Shaq O'Neal, who played for only 8 minutes and spent most of the time under the defense of the second bull, scored only 5 points and 4 rebounds.

It can be said that even if the West wins the ball, I am afraid that the league will not allow him to share the AMVP with Kobe.

All eyes are on tonight's star of the stars. Ruan Erniu scored 30 points, 29 rebounds, and 33 assists this year after his 25+12 last year, successfully winning AMVP again.

More importantly, Ruan Erniu once again became the second player in NBA history to win the AMVP for two consecutive terms.

And became the first player in the history of the league to win the Rookie Game MVP and AMVP for two consecutive terms at the same time. In his unique historical position, Ruan Erniu once again used his extraordinary strength to make a big mark.
