The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 265

When head coach Sloan came over, he found the atmosphere in the locker room a little strange.

Karl Malone, the always fierce and confident team leader, seemed to be wet, and his whole state was a little dissociated.

It seems to have been hit by something huge.

This frightened Sloan.

He doesn't really care about the victory or defeat of the All-Star, but if the team's main general has problems because of participating in the All-Star, it will be a big loss.

How can Malone play without the State Jazz?
Sloan only found out when he asked...

Waterfark?

what are you saying?
Karl Malone lost to this kid No. 7 in a match of strength?
Didn't you guys plan to trick the old man on purpose, didn't you?
This was Sloan's first thought, but after repeated verification, seeing that Ma Long's soul was almost gone, he had to believe it again.

However, Karl Malone lost to the outside line in terms of strength, and he was still a kid under 20 years old. This was too challenging for his cognition.

"Don't worry, sir, we just had a friendly discussion and there was no violence." But Zheng Tie's smile now fell on the entire locker room, turning it into a devil's grin, and he couldn't feel any warmth at all.

Although surprised, I want to talk to Ma Long, but I have to do what I have to do, so the first question is...

Who in the East will defend Jordan in the last quarter.

In this era, there are three or two quarters of entertainment, and the last quarter must be an era of serious fighting for victory.So how to defend, still needs to be arranged.

"Ah Tie, or you can go..." I don't know if Sloan values ​​Zheng Tie, or wants to make Zheng Tie help his team's dispirited general.But let’s talk about this, Ah Tie, who has always refused to refuse anyone, refused on the spot——

This confuses everyone.

No, we thought you were the one who liked wrestling Jordan the most.

Didn’t you have a lot of fun playing in the regular season?

Those remarks, those achievements, we can all see clearly.

Zheng Tie said in his heart...

Haha, All-Stars, this... is nothing to fight for.

Neither is triple happiness.

What's the point of working so hard on yourself but not getting much benefit.

Don't do it.

You really think that every time you fight with that No. 23, you won't lose your vitality.

Seeing that Zheng Tie refused?
Little Kobe is eager to try, he really wants to take over the important task of fighting against Jordan.

However, he is not in the starting lineup now, so he cannot get the opportunity immediately, so he can only covet it silently.

"In this case, Gary, you can go. Michael is your old acquaintance. It will be best if you go to defend." But when he said this, Payton also showed reluctance on his face.

Just like what Zheng Tie thought, it was just an All-Star game, and it was not worthwhile to play against Jordan, the grinding king.

You say that you are not serious about defending, and you were blown up by Jordan's last effort, you are serious, there is a high probability that Jordan's anger will be aroused and blown up, and in the end, the blame is still your own...

The price/performance ratio is too low.

Of course the most important thing is...

This old hooligan didn't know where he learned the "hooligans without the ball" style of play.

No longer holding the ball one-on-one with Payton for a long time, which greatly weakens Payton's defensive ability and defensive characteristics.

He has already played against Jordan twice in the regular season, and he was overwhelmed by his opponent super efficiently. This made Payton feel, emmmmmmmmm...

Don't want to be cut by Jordan again in the All-Star Game.

My team's two major perimeter defenders... are actually unwilling to defend Jordan?
Sloan was also a little silly.

This……

You guys were not like this before, you were madly confronting Jordan one by one, and confronted fiercely, why did you all "passively sabotage" when you came to me?

You play me together?

There is no way, there is no good exhibition game, Zheng Tie is too lazy to work hard.

And he also has to play against Jordan, no matter how he calculates it...it's too much of a loss.

Doing so is completely out of line with Ah Tie's style.

Even if he hadn't competed with Duncan for the All-Star Rookie of the Year title, Zheng Tie would have passed this All-Star Game just like before.

In this way, the All-Star morning joint training ended in a hasty way, and it was not even decided who would deal with Jordan.

The two trump cards in perimeter defense, neither Payton nor Ah Tie took the initiative, and others would not jump out and ask for a fight.

On the night of the 9th.

The Western All-Stars, who all have their own concerns, came to Madison Square Garden.

The Eastern All-Stars were at a loss when they saw the Western All-Stars.

Don't understand what's going on.

Moreover, Karl Malone, the number one muscular man in the league, didn't know what was wrong, he was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, and he couldn't see his former style at all.

Although Jordan was a little curious, his main interest was Ah Tie. He said, "Yesterday's dunk was great. I really wish I was a few years younger so that I could compete with you on the same stage."

"Yeah, so I can beat you head-on in the slam dunk contest, what a pity."

Old hooligan: ...

He wanted to refute, but as far as the dunks he saw yesterday were all full marks, Jordan didn't know the truth to be honest.

He knew that if he did it, no matter if it was him at any time, it probably wouldn't change any outcome.

Didn’t you read what was said in the media today——

The strongest dunk king in league history was born.

As for this, when I won the championship, I didn't even touch the edge.

"I heard that you now have a nickname called Yellow Jesus? It sounds good, but I don't know..."

"Can you handle this title?"

"If you can't control it, I'm afraid God will be angry, Zheng."

The old hooligan is not the kind of master who shows weakness. If one topic is not good, then immediately change to another one.

"Oh." Zheng Tie showed an expression of "I'm so scared", and then said: "Old gangster An An, the people in the east are not under God's control."

Old hooligan: ...

Anyway, I am also the king of the trash talk generation. Besides Bird, the "king of the king", who else would I be afraid of.

Didn't the Timberwolves No. 21, who is good at talking trash, have been taught by himself to the point where he was almost autistic.

"You can't talk to me like that, Zheng, I'm a senior, and I have five championship rings, and you don't have any."

It's started, the ring killing has begun.

This is also the most lethal move of Jordan and their super giants.

Why does Barkley want a championship ring so much, isn't it because the ears are calloused after hearing this kind of nonsense.

"How many did you have when you were 19, old hooligan." Zheng Tie said: "Oh, I forgot, you didn't even make it to the All-Stars when you were 19."

Old hooligan: ...

"And ah, don't forget some people..."

"Huh?" Jordan said.

"You haven't beaten me yet."

Old hooligan: ...

……

Seeing Jordan's return home, Pippen suppressed the joy in his heart, pretended to care about him with a "plastic brotherhood" face: "What's wrong with you, Michael, have you taught another rookie a lesson?"

Pippen was asking questions knowingly. As far as Zheng Tie was concerned, when had Jordan ever taught him a lesson?

It is true that he was killed by Zheng Tiesan.

The old hooligan glared at him and said, "Take good care of that kid in this game."

"Me?" Second Master Pi was taken aback, why is it me, shouldn't it be yours?

"If I fight him at the beginning of the All-Star game, others will gossip about me. I will go to the last quarter."

But, Michael, that, did you forget something.

Jordan:? ? ?
Look at what I'm wearing today.

When Jordan saw it, he almost fainted from anger.

Damn it, I almost forgot...

Pippen didn't play at all this year because of surgery, so how could he be selected as an All-Star?
He is now wearing a suit on the sidelines, and he brought his family over for vacation.

Anyway, their players have free tickets, so they don't use them for nothing.

For Pi Erye, who has "not much money", he can save as much as he can, and prostitute for free if he can.

On the other side, little Kobe saw that Zheng Tie had put the number 23 on...and went back with a green face.

This made him, the "Soul of Secondary School", burn violently.

He really wanted to do this in front of that number 23.

Ah Tie is indeed a role model for our generation.

Robinson actually lost to Mutombo in the fight for the ball. This would have been something that would have been unimaginable before.

Robinson's athletic ability was recognized as good by insiders in the 90s.

It seems that he has indeed entered a period of decline, and he will not be able to hold on to his peak for much longer.

Because it is the All-Star Game, the defense is not very tight, especially in the first half, this is the rule.

Hardaway easily made a lob from the outside, and Kemp inside flew into the sky and prepared to dunk.

But at this time, with a slap, slap——

Suddenly it was between him and the basket.

Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves.

After KG covered it, he roared excitedly, just short of doing iron-blooded push-ups at the beginning.

This is really mocking Laman

But it didn't take long for Garnett to be replaced because his foot injury was not fully healed. The Timberwolves had already explained that Garnett could just go up and down.

Kemp wanted to get it back, but he didn't score.

He himself was a little embarrassed, so he could only find an opportunity to get it back.

But he didn't have a chance tonight, because Garnett was quickly replaced by No. 21 Tim Duncan.

Seeing that a new rookie came up, Kemp felt that he should put on the surface and deduct a few times to save himself some face.

As a result, I rushed over...

Snapped--

Another big cap on the 21st.

Deng Daidai looked embarrassed, because when he saw the ball, he habitually went to protect the basket, completely subconsciously.His style of play, to be honest, is actually not suitable for the All-Star Game, so Duncan has been selected many times, but there are not many highlights of his real playing.

Kemp is very depressed, but he apologized on the 21st, so what can he say, is it just an All-Star Game, and you still want to get angry with a rookie?

That's too old-fashioned.

So Camp endured.

It's definitely not because Duncan is standing next to a David Robinson with more muscular muscles than himself.

Payton advanced the ball quickly, and finally gave it to... Zheng Tie.

The first few shots clearly had a chance, but none of the players in the West made the shots. Payton has passed a lot of good balls so far, but he hasn't gotten any assists.

Therefore, the ball was still given to Zheng Tie.

At least give yourself an assist first.

Furthermore, if it comes to the ability to move without the ball...

On the contrary, Zheng Tie is currently the best player in the Western Conference.

A group of people are all stars who want to play with the ball, but Zheng Tie's off-ball style is more suitable for everyone.

Plug and play, universal plug, real or not.

Payton is the point guard. Seeing that Zheng Tie ran out of opportunities so many times, and the rest of the team was not strong enough, he gave it.

He and Zheng Tie have not reached the level of Marlon Stockton.

Zheng Tie got the ball, without even thinking about it, he raised his hand and it was a three-pointer.

brush--

Well, hit.

3-0.

Turning Hardaway wanted to show one, but hit the iron, David Robinson got the ball.

At this time, he wanted to subconsciously suppress the rhythm. This is because he played too much in the Spurs, and he had a sequelae.

But before he could think about it, a figure wearing No. 7 of the Clippers rushed out, and at the same time shouted: "Pass the ball, David."

When Robinson was called out, he still gave the ball to Zheng Tie. Zheng Tie rushed over and chased for a three-pointer.

brush--

Enter again.

6-0.

Because the head coach on the opposite side is "Zen Master" Jackson this year, he didn't raise his eyes at all, just continued to "practice Zen".

It is clear that he must implement his lofty slogan——

Exercise the players' ability to solve problems by themselves.

Jordan attacked here and raised his hand to shoot, but he didn't feel good at the beginning and the iron popped out.

Payton had just gotten the ball, and seeing the Clippers' No. 7, he had already run out.

This quick consciousness and ability is also... a little too good.

Thinking of passing the ball to the past, Zheng Tie got the ball and shot immediately.

The basketball flies out.

brush--

in again.

9-0.

No way, you have to know that for a sharpshooter of Zheng Tie's level, the less defensive pressure, the closer the shooting percentage will be to the training shooting percentage.Not to mention them, even those who you usually think are not very accurate, they are all top marksmen when there is no defensive pressure.

With regard to tonight's pressure, Zheng Tie cast very smoothly.

In fact, he is still ready to play. Anyway, it is not difficult to play better than Duncan in the All-Star Game.

Because of Deng's dumb style of play, he wouldn't be a good fit for an All-Star.

But... Facts have proved that things like setting up a flag cannot be done often.

Immediately, something happened that stunned Zheng Tie.

Tim Duncan actually blocked the shots of Hill and Hardaway in one breath on the defensive end. It didn't take long for the start to be 3 big blocks.

This, what's the situation?
Just as he was talking, Kemp took another pass from the sideline and killed another, and then Duncan... slapped him down.

Kemp's offensive ability has actually not been that good, especially without a good point guard around to feed the ball.What does this kind of person look like? Yes, it looks like Lang Kenyon Martin, the 21st century champion in the previous life.

So after he went to the Cavaliers this year, his shooting percentage immediately dropped to 44.5%.

You have to know that except for the rookie season in the first year, before the 98 season, his shooting percentage was almost 5% or more in all seasons.It's just such a striker who seems to be very efficient. When Payton is lost, there is only one first-year Brian Knight who feeds him the ball...

The hit rate immediately fell to a level that was not as good as that of the blacksmith brother in the previous life.

You must know that he is only 28 and nine years old now, which happens to be the best time to combine experience and body. This time should be the peak of a player.But when he was not injured, his shooting percentage suddenly dropped sharply, which is...

Many things can be seen.

He is an enhanced version of Kenyon Martin.

But it's just an enhanced version.

Look at his shooting percentage after leaving Payton, the point guard boss.

You should know that his strength is worse than he imagined.

He overestimated himself.

From then until he retired, his season shooting percentage was basically around 4%.

Brutely brought his career hit rate of more than 5% to more than 4%.

Just attacking hard with the ball, to be honest, for a star power forward, it is simply...

It sucks.

So Kemp wants to attack Duncan with the ball himself, which is simply killing him alive.

Before Duncan was seriously injured, let’s see how he dealt with Martin in the finals——

Five or six caps per game.Seventeen or eighteen rebounds.

I don't know, but I really thought it was Bill Russell's peak soul possession.

Kemp was too high and was blocked twice, and then he became overheated and frantically killed Duncan with the ball. Duncan had no choice but to defend passively.

It’s not like you’re going to detain me and I’m just watching, right?

Anyway, Deng Daidai would not give the green light so easily.

Otherwise, it will not become the king of the historical background board.

In the first quarter, Duncan covered a full 7, and everyone was dumbfounded.

This is the All-Star game, are you playing it as the finals?

Because of Duncan's outstanding performance, Zheng Tie had no choice but to exert more force. This time, before the first quarter was over, the Western All-Stars beat the Eastern All-Stars 37-17, a full 20 points. as many points.

It was shown to the crowd at Madison Square Garden, and the screams erupted.

Two rookies, one freshman and one freshman, one main offense and one main defense, basically turned the first quarter of the All-Star Game into an exhibition game for the two of them.

This made the stars in the East so angry that they almost broke their teeth.

Legendary commentator John Andales even joked:
"Fortunately, these two people are not on the same team, otherwise, with this posture, the All-Stars would be crushed by them."

This joke made David Stern feel suddenly...

A little regret.

If I were more courageous and put the No. 21 rookie and the No. 7 rookie together, wouldn't the league be trembling?

It's a pity that a generation of super groups was strangled in the cradle by his own hands.

PS: For Chapter 1, I have to go to the hospital to stay with me in the past few days before I can come back. Don’t be offended if it’s late, there will be guaranteed updates.

It'll be fine after a few days.

Thank you, Xiao Zi.
