I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 120 The competition is over, grab the MVP? (4000, please subscribe)

After returning from the timeout, the Western All-Star team immediately launched an offensive.

Francis first played a pick-and-roll with Garnett, reached the inside and fed the ball to O'Neal.

However, Big Ben made up for it very quickly. Francis couldn't pass the ball to the basket very well, so he had to hand the ball to Garnett at a 45-degree angle first.

Garnett leaned to the baseline and used his height to single Kenyon Martin.

If Duncan handled the ball, he could shoot it directly, but Garnett played a little cautiously, even if he had the advantage of height, he still tried to lean towards the basket.

However, Martin is not an idle person. As the No. [-] pick, there is no problem with his body. The offensive end was fed by feeding bread, and all points were added to defense before.

Garnett played big and small, but he couldn't get out of his position and went to the basket for a layup.

In the end, Garnett wasted no time and Jagged made a big shot.

With a sound of Duang, Huo Song under the basket was ecstatic.

Daben had already made a prediction and helped Huo Song to block O'Neal in advance. Although Duncan was in front of Huo Song, the rebound fell just in front of Huo Song.

If it wasn't for the playoffs, Duncan wouldn't work so hard for rebounds.

Huo Song took off a little earlier, quickly caught the rebound, and then passed it to Kidd, allowing Kidd to counterattack, and Huo Song himself rushed towards the frontcourt immediately.

I thought that Kidd would reciprocate and give him the chance to make a fast break layup, but he is not as good as a rookie.

Kidd still chooses to pass the ball to Martin, who is closely behind him, and the attack is finally completed by Martin's dunk.

Huo Song has scored enough points now, but he is not short of these two points.

Seeing Martin dunk the ball in, he took the initiative to applaud and celebrate: "Good job!"

"Haha, you are good at rebounding. Let's win together!" Martin said with a smile in a good mood.

He was singled by Garnett before, and not long after he successfully defended Garnett, he played a fast break and scored in a blink of an eye.

It really made him happy to complete such an offense and defense in the All-Star Game.

Soon, Martin and Kidd completed the retreat, and Huo Song also returned to the penalty area.

Seeing O'Neal approaching the bottom corner, Huo Song immediately circled forward to defend to prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball.

O'Neill pushed behind Huo Song, but the bottom line referee caught his little move, but didn't blow it.

The Western Conference All-Star team fell behind by more than ten points, and the game lost its suspense, which is not good.

The most important part of the All-Star Game is the last quarter, oh no, there is still half a quarter left.

The referee's duty is to keep the suspense of the game until the end as much as possible.

Just like that, Huo Song staggered, and O'Neal found space to catch the ball.

However, as soon as Francis passed the ball, Huo Song had already blocked O'Neal.

O'Neal's chance to attack the basket with the ball was blocked by Huo Song, so he could only try to hit back, relying on his natural power to open Huo Song.

At this moment, Big Ben suddenly appeared beside O'Neal, and took the ball away with one hand.

It is true that Daben is the king of blocks, but in fact, the number of steals per game is not low, and he is among the top [-] in the league all the year round.

Usually the players on the steal list are outside players, and Daben is a special case among inside players.

Daben has a good grasp of the stealing time, and generally speaking, he has a strong ability to read the game.

Use steals and blocks to make up for the static talent defects on the defensive end.

Studying O'Neill's offensive habits is what Big Ben has been doing, and now he has achieved good results.

Big Ben snatched the ball and immediately passed it to McGrady on the outside.

McGrady rushed forward after receiving the ball. Just after halftime, there was a super long three-pointer that couldn't be waved any more.

McGrady is a scoring leader and has the ability to shoot from any angle in the frontcourt.

Although the ball was choppy, it was within McGrady's ability!

brush--

The basketball went into the net hollow, and the Eastern All-Star team opened the gap by 3 points.

At this time, on the bench of the Eastern All-Star team, a group of stars who had seen the big scene jumped up from the bench excitedly.

As McGrady's cousin, Carter is even learning how McGrady shoots ultra-long three-pointers.

More than a decade later, some people think that Carter's transformation from dunker to pitcher started here...

Having said that, McGrady made a super long three-pointer and almost killed the game.

Although there are still more than 5 minutes in the game, the point difference has exceeded 15 points, which has to put pressure on the Western All-Stars on the court.

"Give me the ball!" Kobe was a little upset with Francis, and even more upset with O'Neal who caused the widening point difference.

"Since that fat guy can't throw the ball into the basket, leave it to me, I can, I can guard Staples!"

Kobe's eyes started to fire, this is the Los Angeles All-Star Game, this is his site, he does not allow other teams to show off in his site, he does not allow others to take away the spotlight that should belong to him.

Francis also wanted to win. Before looking for opportunities to pass the ball to O'Neal, he also wanted to win.

Now O'Neal is being targeted a bit, but Kobe has been in a good state in the first three quarters, so Francis did not refuse Kobe's request, holding the ball for halftime, and decisively handed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe singled McGrady with the ball. In the fourth quarter, McGrady had to be more serious.

He's hit a key shot, and the game is in his hands.

Kobe wants to come back against the wind?

"Did I promise?"

Who wouldn't want to win if they have teammates?

McGrady feels that the Magic's record is bad because the team wants to make it bad.

Otherwise, why don't you trade your CBA teammates in exchange for a star who can really play?

How long has Hill been lying here?
Lao Tzu's teammate is O'Neill, won't he be soft if he doesn't win the championship?
In the All-Star Game, although McGrady does not have O'Neal as a teammate, he has teammates who can restrain O'Neal.

Right now, the Western All-Stars don't have a particularly obvious advantage against the Eastern All-Stars. How could McGrady allow Kobe to be presumptuous when the odds are in hand?

McGrady's physical condition is the best among swingmen, stronger than Kobe, and worse than McGrady.

As for players with good physical talents, as long as they are willing to defend seriously, their defense will not be too bad.

McGrady has been in the Magic for these years, and the defense has been a bit deserted, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse.

McGrady is serious about defending Kobe, so why not let Kobe use the stunt of pressing the bottom of the box-four backs and three irons?
Bryant noticed that McGrady was serious, but didn't feel much pressure.

Kobe was a three-threat first, but McGrady was tall and strong, so there was no need to take off early. Kobe couldn't shake McGrady, so he could only try to step forward again.

McGrady still defended well, but Kobe had no choice but to step back and shoot a jumper.

McGrady took off to block the block and missed the ball, but Kobe hit the ball with iron.

Kobe didn't admit that McGrady guarded him, but he could only say that after being on the bench for a while, the fiery feeling finally cooled down.

Now he needs to touch the ball more to get his touch back.

It is said that after Kobe hit the iron, there is still suspense in the game.

The main reason is that this time the Western All-Star team relied on the large number of people at the basket and finally grabbed an offensive rebound.

Garnett took off to make a tip-up, made two tip-ups, and scored the ball in the chaos.

Kobe frowned when he saw this: "How do you feel that they all know that I'm going to hit the iron? They all ran to the basket early?"

After three consecutive attacks, the Western All-Stars finally scored a goal, which relieved the scoring pressure.

But in the next round, Kidd knew how to win the ball. After receiving the screen and going inside, he pretended to cooperate with Martin, but actually passed the ball to Huo Song.

Huo Song ate a cake and easily scored 2 points on O'Neal.

The Eastern All-Stars are scoring all the time, and that's a scary thing.

Now the Western All-Stars have to complete every offensive round, but also try to defend every offensive round of the Eastern All-Stars.

Otherwise, if the game continues like this, the Western All-Star team will be finished.

It is worth mentioning that it is difficult for this lineup of the Western All-Stars to play fast breaks, and they can only slowly grind their positions.

The defense of the Eastern All-Star team is very good. Playing positional warfare, even if they do not play zone defense and simply man-to-man, can also consume a lot of offensive time for the Western All-Star team.

Kobe dribbled the ball for a while, finally found the touch, and hit McGrady with a fadeaway jumper.

Looking back, Kidd was not in a hurry to dribble, almost stuck in the half court for 8 seconds.

After coming to the frontcourt, Kidd asked Martin to play a pick-and-roll from the outside. After reaching the basket, he dribbled out from a 45-degree angle, tore up the defense and then went inside.

Do you think I have to waste time and control the rhythm of the game?

I'm actually pulling the defense, helping the team open up space, and giving opportunities to the players who are easiest to score.

With the help of the defensive attraction of Huo Song's basket, Kidd fed the ball to Ben.

Duncan was caught off guard for a while and was deducted by Da Ben.

It took 16 seconds for the Eastern All-Stars to complete another attack.

The same point guard, playing with the brain and playing with the body, the difference is here.

After Kidd controlled the rhythm of the game, everyone on the team played comfortably.

Although Francis is playing seriously, he doesn't help the team much.

Although O'Neal and Kobe have stepped forward and told him to take over the game, in fact the direction of the game has become worse.

Francis has no ability to solve this kind of problem, so he can only be more superstitious about the personal ability of the OK combination.

Kobe singled McGrady again, in a brave state, and scored another one.

Looking back, Kidd continued to press the time and looked for opportunities. This time he made a shot from inside the penalty area. The emergency stop jumper missed, which was a bit of a pity, but another 18 seconds passed.

Unknowingly, the Eastern Conference All-Stars led by 16 points with 4 minutes left in the game.

Flying dragon riding face has a great advantage, but there is no need for all A's to go up.

Anyway, it's the fourth quarter. Slow down the pace of the game and let the Western All-Stars make mistakes in their busy schedule. Isn't it good to sit back and enjoy the success?

Kidd knows how to play.

Next, Kobe singled McGrady again.

McGrady's defense was more serious, and he was only short of making small moves to pinch Kobe.

McGrady didn't lose anything to Kobe except for the championship.

In this All-Star Game, Kobe shot McGrady one after another, treating McGrady like nothing, how could McGrady bear it.

McGrady wants to ask Kidd for the ball to play back, but under the current situation, Kidd may not give him the ball.

Therefore, McGrady can only devote all his physical strength and energy to the defensive end.

"The seal is here!" McGrady's eyes lit up.

Finally got it covered this time!
Indeed, after Kobe made the shot, the trajectory of the basketball movement was obviously shortened by one section.

However, the three non-sticks in basketball happened to allow Da Ben, who was standing under the basket, to grab his hand.

Big Ben passed the ball to McGrady, and the Western All-Star team had three insiders, so they couldn't defend against fast breaks.

For the Eastern All-Star team, not to mention that both Huo Song and Martin are good at fast breaks, even Daben's speed is not slow.

The frontcourt played 3 to 2. Before Huo Song could reach the three-point line, Kidd passed the ball back to McGrady, who dunked and scored another 2 points.

The game time quickly approached the last 3 minutes, but the point difference remained at around 15 points.

The score situation of the two teams looked anxious, and Kobe, who was feeling hot, led the Western All-Stars to chase points, but the point difference basically did not change much, which made people very desperate.

If you can't make a shot and you end up losing the game, that's fine.

If you can't defend against fast breaks and inside offenses, that's very problematic.

But the problem is, there is no way to replace them.

The best and strongest lineup of the Western All-Star team can't beat the Eastern All-Star team.

Even if Kobe has turned into Jordan, he is not the opponent of the Eastern All-Star team, which really makes people don't know what to say.

Because both sides played relatively smoothly, the referee wanted to help but couldn't find any chance to start for a while.

In fact, this is also difficult for the referee.

In the All-Star Game, referees used to not intervene too much.

This is not a simple game that is broadcast live across the United States. This is one of the most anticipated and watched games of the year.

Even though NBA referees are protected by the FBI, they must be honest if they don’t want to be attacked by extreme fans.

Therefore, in the last few minutes of the All-Star Game, the referee did not think of suddenly standing up to steal the show.

"Kobe hit the iron! My God, is the game going to end like this!"

Kobe carried the team on his shoulders with his own strength and led the Western All-Star team forward.

But Kidd continued to lower the rhythm of the game and control the time, making Kobe's burden heavier and heavier.

McGrady also gradually found the feeling of defending Kobe.

When Kobe felt cold and scored in the middle, the Western All-Star team finally ushered in a terrifying moment.

In front, Huo Song ate the cake fed by Kidd and scored another goal.

Then Kobe hit the iron again, and the point difference widened again.

Now, everyone on the court knows that in the last 2 minutes, the Western All-Stars need someone to score.

There were many Lakers fans at the scene, and some fans were shouting: "Shaq, Shaq, Shaq!"

There were also people shouting "MVP, MVP, MVP".

But it didn't work, this time O'Neal stuffed the ball in the basket every round, and there was not enough time.

With a point difference of 17 points, even if an offensive and defensive round takes 20 seconds, the Western All-Star team can only score 12 points in the remaining time.

Unless the Eastern All-Stars hit the iron every time, every rebound was taken by the Western All-Stars and turned into a conversion.

But the lineup of the Western All-Star team has only two guards in transition.

The time now is simply not enough for the Western All-Stars to comeback.

I have to say that Kidd's strategy of pressing time from the second half of the fourth quarter is really wise.

Without knowing it, the Western Conference All-Stars squandered every opportunity to salvage the situation.

"Shaq dunked hard on Huo Song's head, two plus one!"

"But there is no time, there are still 11 points, even if Shaq makes a free throw, it is still 10 points away!"

"Shaq made the free throw, why didn't he make the free throw sooner!"

"3 seconds left in the game!"

"What does McGrady want? He still wants to attack!"

"Super three-pointer, lore hit!"

Whether it's a man or a ghost, it's a show. McGrady shot a buzzer-beater with an ultra-long three-pointer in a winning situation.

Surprisingly, McGrady actually put the ball into the basket!

"Tuigui, the All-Star MVP I got won't be snatched away by McGrady!"

Huo Song suddenly became worried.
