NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 345 The second half of the season sprint begins

"This is the end?"

"I'm a bit reluctant, I haven't watched it enough yet."

"This is probably the most exciting, unexpected, and special All-Star game I have ever seen. I hope to continue to maintain this style in the future instead of simply playing."

After the game, the fans started various discussions.

For this All-Star, they expressed their satisfaction.

At the scene, He Xinghui began to accept the trophy.

Watching this scene, Kobe could only sigh in his heart.

He tried hard, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

He has experienced this frustration many times.Moreover, almost every time it is related to He Xinghui.

He felt that He Xinghui seemed to be his nemesis.

James also felt the same way as him. Both of them now regard He Xinghui as the number one enemy.

The two evaded reporters and quietly left, avoiding being asked some embarrassing questions.

Other stars were caught by reporters at the scene and interviewed.

"This is the most fun All-Star session I have ever participated in. I have to admit that my cousin is more fun than me. So, I will make a movie with him in the summer, and it will definitely be more fun."

O'Neill commented.

Before that, O'Neal was recognized as the best player in the league.

But now, he took the initiative to give way.

"It was a super cool game and Cousin is an incredible player."

Nowitzki.

"He's done a lot of incredible things, he's put up dazzling numbers, and I think the sky's the limit for him."

nash.

Meanwhile, He Xinghui was surrounded by more reporters.

"He, how did you come up with those interesting ideas?"

reporter asked.

"You asked me this question, I don't know, I just thought of it naturally."

He Xinghui shrugged.

"He, will you continue to participate in the three-point contest and dunk contest in the future?"

"The three-point contest should not happen, but I will continue to participate in the slam dunk contest. I still have a lot of moves to show."

He Xinghui said.

It is difficult to play tricks in the three-point contest, and it is impossible to surpass this one if you continue to participate. The most correct choice is to retire bravely.

Most importantly, the honor of winning the three-point contest is too light to be taken seriously.

As for the dunk contest, he can continue to show.

"What about the race, do you have any other ideas for next time?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. It's not certain whether you will be selected for the next session. Answering your question now will seem a little low-key."

He Xinghui said.

"."

Everyone resisted the urge to complain, they really wanted to say, do you have half a dime to do with being low-key?
Moreover, there is no suspense about He Xinghui's next selection, even if he is injured, it will not be affected.

After receiving the trophy and giving the testimonials, the All-Star basically announced the end.

"The ratings are 12 percentage points higher than last year, perfect."

The league quickly got real-time data.

"As expected."

Xiao Hua laughed.

Compared with the previous All-Stars, this year has a lot more tricks.

In the three-point contest, He Xinghui's ultra-long shots, back shots, and blindfold shots are all very entertaining.

Needless to say, the slam dunk contest, He Xinghui's dunks are all classics.

It can be said that this slam dunk contest is no less exciting than the one in 2000.

In the main match, He Xinghui's guest coach is also quite innovative.

The next day, the sports news was full of All-Star news.

And the number of times He Xinghui's name appears is almost more than that of other players combined.

He Xinghui's popularity has reached another level.

It can be said that he is only one championship short now.

As long as they win another championship, star fans can openly shout the slogan of surpassing Jordan with a championship.

Now that there is no championship, there is always a lack of confidence.

On the 20th, the league resumed the regular season.

When the Clippers played against the Suns, He Xinghui was absent because he was suspended for one game.

Gasol's injury has not yet recovered, and the Clippers' two core players are absent.

The result was terrible. The Clippers were beaten by the Suns 119 to 79 and lost 40 points. It was their lowest scoring game this season and the worst losing game.

Maggette, the team's highest scorer, only had 16 points.

Without He Xinghui's restraint, the Clippers' offense could not be opened at all.

"Is anyone still saying that the Clippers have a good lineup?"

Barkley complained during the game.

Earlier, some sensational media said that the Clippers' good record was due to their good lineup, and He Xinghui's role was not as great as fans imagined.

But now, without He Xinghui, the Clippers will die immediately.

Mobley, Livingston, Kaman, Maggette, Millsap, these people are fine as role players, but it is too difficult for them to open up the situation.

After the game, the reporter asked Dunleavy: "You guys seem to be unable to play without He. Have you ever thought about how to get rid of your dependence on He?"

Dunleavy showed an incomprehensible expression and asked: "Okay, why do we want to get rid of the dependence on superstars? Will the Bulls with Jordan try to get rid of the dependence on Jordan? The Lakers with O'Neal will ban O'Neal from playing, looking for ways to get rid of the dependence on Jordan. The method that O'Neill relies on?"

"Countless teams in the league are envious of the Clippers' possession of He, but you want me to get rid of my dependence on He. What kind of brain circuit is this?"

Losing this game, the Clippers' record became 46 wins and 7 losses.

Although it is still the first in the league, the lead is already very small. The No.2 Mavericks have 44 wins and 8 losses, and the third Suns have 42 wins and 10 losses.

In theory, they still have a chance to overtake the Clippers.

Of course, it's only in theory.

As long as He Xinghui does not miss the next game, they have no chance.

For the Clippers, the most difficult task is the 73 wins.

They only have two games of error left.

And after the All-Star Game, the game will become more difficult, because everyone is working hard for the playoffs.

When encountering the kind of team struggling for a playoff spot, the strong team often capsizes.

When the Clippers lost to the Suns, most of the media were actually not optimistic that the Clippers could win 73 wins.

On the 22nd, the Clippers challenged the Nets in an away game. The outside world generally believed that this was a hard battle.

Because the Nets' lineup doesn't look bad, with Kidd, Carter and Richard Jefferson.

However, their record is not very good, and now they even need to fight for the playoffs.

With three stars, if they can't make it to the playoffs, they must be disbanded and rebuilt.

Therefore, they are bound to fight very hard.

On the 22nd, the Clippers arrived in New Jersey and arrived at the Continental Arena.

The Nets are probably the team that has used the most arenas. It has changed six so far, and will change two more in the future.

Players enter the field, the visiting team first.

When He Xinghui played, he was warmly welcomed by the fans, as if he was playing at home.

As long as there is no deep hatred against the Clippers, its fans like He Xinghui quite a lot.

What's more, there are many Chinese living in New Jersey.

Some New York fans did not hesitate to drive to New Jersey just to see He Xinghui play.

After the home team players played, Carter, Kidd and others were still welcomed, but the voice was far less than the previous two years.

A few years ago, they just got Kidd, and then reached the finals for two consecutive years. That was the highlight moment of the Nets.

At that time, Nets fans loved Kidd to death.

But up to now, the Nets have become a team fighting for a playoff spot. Without a championship seat, the enthusiasm of fans has inevitably declined a lot.

Carter didn't feel much of this subtle change from the fans, but Kidd felt it clearly.

"We have to win this game."

Kidd said.

He wants to prove that he is not old.

"Definitely."

The crowd shouted slogans.

The players of the two teams began to warm up, and the guest commentators on the TV station were analyzing and predicting.

"My cousin is back, so there is no suspense in this game. The Clippers must win."

Buckley said.

"I also feel that way."

smith.

espn.

Mike Brin said: "Although my cousin is back, Gasol is still absent, and the overall state of the Clippers is average, and the Nets still have a chance."

As black as ESPN, they only dare to say that the Nets have a chance, not that the Nets will win. It is really that their faces have been too swollen.

The top management of ESPN are considering whether to change the camp, black He Xinghui really has no future.

The warm-up is over and the game begins.

The Clippers are Livingston, He Xinghui, Maggette, Millsap, Kaman.

The Nets are Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Krstic, Moore.

Kostic is a center from Serbia. His defense is average, but he has a beautiful mid-range shot. This season, he is the team's second scorer.

Mickey Moore, nicknamed the Snake Man, is a thin and tall center with a weight of only 102 kilograms.

With this weight, the defense is naturally very poor.

The Nets naturally know that Moore is poor, but they can only make do with it because he is cheap.

Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson are all high-paid players. The annual salary of the three of them is almost over the salary cap, and there is no way to reinforce it.

The two teams jumped the ball, Moore overwhelmed Kaman and gave the ball to his side, and Kidd controlled the ball and advanced.

He Xinghui followed Carter and harassed: "Vince, what do you think of my dunk, how is it compared to yours?"

"so so."

Carter sneered, of course he couldn't praise others in his proudest field.

"That's because I didn't show the strongest moves. I advise you not to participate in the next slam dunk contest, so as not to lose face."

After the slam dunk contest, a reporter asked Carter if he would participate in the next session.

Carter said it was possible.

"Are you afraid?"

Carter shot back.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the blow of failure."

He Xinghui said.

Kidd passed the ball, Jefferson caught the ball and missed.

Jefferson suffered a knee injury at the end of last year, and he has only recently recovered from his injury, and his state has not yet recovered.

Under the basket, Krstic grabbed an offensive rebound and made up.

The advantage of the twin towers is that they have an advantage in rebounding.

The Clippers attacked, He Xinghui singled out Carter, made false shots and made three-pointers.

The ball goes in.

He doesn't seem to need to look for a state, and he can perform as soon as he plays.

"Vince, it's no use just being able to dunk."

He Xinghui said.

Carter closed his mouth and did not argue with He Xinghui again.

Kidd moved forward with the ball, and Livingston wanted to press, but Kidd passed it in one step.

A good shot opportunity, Kidd did not make a shot, still looking for teammates.

The base does not attack, and it is worthy of the name.

His scoring ability is really beyond praise.

Even in his peak season, he never scored 20 points.

As for the hit rate, it is also pitifully low, below 42% all year round.

The basketball player is running fast, Moore shakes off Kaman, and then receives a pass from Kidd.

Relying on his faster speed, Moore made it to the basket for a layup, and Kaman was tricked.

Being able to survive in this alliance is naturally a bit of a specialty.

Offensive and defensive transition, Carter continued to single-handedly defend He Xinghui.

He Xinghui changed directions twice in a row, tricked Carter and went to the basket, facing two big men calmly, Die Chuanhua passed through the gap between the two of them.

During the layup, he also fouled Moore and scored 2+1.

"You should call someone, you can't guard against it."

After He Xinghui made an extra penalty, he taunted Carter.

In the transition between offense and defense, Kidd got another chance, and then made a shot and missed.

Kaman protected the rebound and the Clippers counterattacked.

This time, the Nets double-teamed.

There is no way, the hand feeling that He Xinghui showed before is too amazing, and if he doesn't double-team, He Xinghui can blow them up by himself.

Jefferson came over, and He Xinghui immediately scored Maggette.

Jefferson seemed to want to go back to the defense again, but the speed was too late.

The knee injury was too fatal, and it would be difficult for Jefferson to return to his previous level of sports in the future.

In view of Jefferson's injured face, He Xinghui didn't even taunt him, otherwise he would definitely make Jefferson angry.

Maggette went to the basket, facing the basket guarded by two big men, he had no choice but to make a small throw.

The ball missed and Krstic got the rebound.

This round, the Nets' double-teaming seems to have taken effect.

The Nets attacked and Kidd advanced with the ball.

He Xinghui suddenly rushed over to press, Kidd made a pass error in a panic, and Millsap made a steal.

He Xinghui made a fast break, and Carter chased after him desperately.

He Xinghui made a layup and was chased by Carter.

People floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not get a knife.

He Xinghui didn't grasp such a good scoring opportunity.

"Are you cool?"

Carter asked.

"You're finished, I don't feel well if I don't put two hats on your head today."

He Xinghui said.

"cut."

Carter expressed disdain.

The Nets attacked, this time Carter was more careful and ready to respond at any time.

However, He Xinghui didn't go to press again.

This kind of sneak attack technique cannot be used too frequently, otherwise the opponent will be on guard all the time, and there will be no sneak attack effect.

The two teams fell into position and Kidd passed the ball to Krstic.

Krstic took off to shoot, and Millsap leaned against him with his weight, causing Krstic's shooting to deform.

The ball missed and Kaman got the backcourt rebound.

Offensive and defensive transition, after He Xinghui received the ball, Jefferson continued to double-team.

He Xinghui did not hesitate and split the ball.

He wants to upgrade all abilities to A-level this season, so now he can't waste his anger, he must play reasonably.

Millsap received the pass, took off and shot.

Kostic relied on his height, covering Millsap's sight.

Millsap barely made a shot and missed the ball.

"Krstic's defense was good today."

Barkley praised.

"The rest of the Clippers don't seem to have entered the state yet. If they can't grasp the opportunities created by Cousin, it will be difficult for the Clippers in this game."

Smith vaguely felt that this game for the Clippers would not be easy.

"Really? Why don't I feel this way."

Barkley said with a smile, he still has full confidence in the Clippers.
