I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 121 All-Star MVP, preparing for the playoffs (4000, please subscribe)

The dust of the All-Star Game has fallen, but it is still unknown who will win the All-Star MVP.

If it weren't for the Eastern All-Star team's final victory, both O'Neal and Kobe would have a chance to win the All-Star MVP.

Although Huo Song played in the All-Star Game for the first time, he scored the highest score in the game, making 16 of 11 shots, 5 of 4 free throws, and scored 26 points efficiently.

But the performance in the fourth quarter was mediocre, not as impressive as McGrady's super-long three-pointers every now and then.

Moreover, McGrady made 18 of 9 shots, 7 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 2 free throws, and scored 24 points.

Considering that the few goals McGrady scored in the fourth quarter had a final effect, this All-Star MVP may really be snatched by McGrady.

"The one who won the MVP of this game is..."

League president David Stern took the stage and began to announce the players who won the MVP of this All-Star Game.

"Huo Song, No. 24 player of the Eastern All-Star Team!"

The previous All-Star MVP is basically awarded to the player with the best performance on the winning team.

Last year, the league specially prepared a super luxurious version of the unique All-Star MVP trophy for Jordan's retirement.

The result was spoiled by Kobe, and Garnett picked the fruit and brought home the only quality All-Star trophy.

And scoring is an important basis for winning the game.

Huo Song scored more points than McGrady, and also had more rebounds.

Even if the performance in the fourth quarter was not explosive enough, it did limit O'Neal, who performed extremely well in the Western All-Star team.

If O'Neal kills the Quartet, then maybe the Western All-Star team wins the game, and the All-Star MVP will fall to O'Neal.

On the other hand, it is extremely rare for Huo Song to restrict O'Neal in the field that O'Neal is good at, and let O'Neal's on-field performance drop from excellent to excellent.

Huo Song's performance deserves the honor of All-Star MVP.

To be honest, the league officially held the All-Star Game to create stars.

Huo Song is the No. [-] pick this season, and he is very eye-catching when he first entered the league. He played really well for the Pistons this season and helped the Pistons achieve the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference.

It is even more rare that Huo Song can cooperate with Da Ben to limit O'Neal in the All-Star Game.

Even though the playoffs have not yet been played, basketball commentators and most fans feel that Huo Song will definitely be able to occupy a place in the NBA if he maintains his current momentum.

"The next O'Neal", to Huo Song, this is not a wild bragging.

"I won the All-Star MVP, can I say, I'm the best player in the game?
I really want to say this, I am honored to be here, and I want to say that the Eastern Conference All-Stars are all carried by me!

But, it can't!I know it is not easy for me to get such an honor.

Without so many strong teammates and everyone's efforts, we could not have won the victory and won this honor.

There is no real MVP in the All-Stars, or every player is an MVP!

Both my teammates and opponents deserve this MVP.

We're all the same, we've done everything we can to play an amazing, high-level game this season.

We are all the MVPs of the game, our own MVPs, and the fans' MVPs. "

"Finally, thanks to my coaches, my teammates, my fans, my countrymen, my loved ones.

It is your support that has brought me to where I am today and what I have now!
Thanks again, everyone, and see you in the regular season. "

To win the All-Star MVP, one must give an acceptance speech after all.

Huo Song has only played for half a season, and he has received such an honor. I have to say, he is a little flattered!
Now Huo Song's honor is not enough, and his accumulation is not enough.I can only be humble first. After a few seasons, Huo Song won the All-Star MVP again, and then I can be a little more arrogant.

"What I said before was only part of the truth, what I tell you now is what I really want to say.

Big Ben, here's your half.I couldn't have it without you.

If you want it, take it, you deserve it! "

Returning to the locker room, Huo Song stuffed the All-Star MVP trophy into Da Ben's arms on the way.

"Wait, don't leave. Come back, Huo Song."

Daben didn't want it at first, but Huo Song rushed to the locker room ahead of time, so Daben could only carefully hold the trophy in his arms.

The main body of the All-Star MVP trophy is crystal, but if it falls, it will be bad if it breaks.

Big Ben saw that his little brother had gone far away, so he had no choice but to protect the trophy and bring it back to Huo Song in the locker room.

Along the way, Big Ben walked a little slowly, after all, he had to protect the trophy.

As he walked, the perennially serious Da Ben also raised the corners of his mouth silently.

Who would have thought that an undrafted pick that no one wanted could actually become an All-Star.

Not to mention winning the All-Star MVP trophy now!

The trophy is not from Big Ben, but what is the difference between Huo Song's trophy and Big Ben's?

Huo Song told Da Ben himself that he was half of it.

Big Ben thought about it, and felt that this made sense.

……

After the eastern stars returned to the locker room one after another, everyone had a lot to say because of the win.

Some people suggested going out to celebrate at night, and some people said that they would go back to the East to play games next time. Without this time, we can only get together next time when we have time.

In fact, most of the stars are "unfamiliar" relationships.

In the end, they just took a hasty photo together, and then they left separately.

Huo Song, Da Ben and Larry Brown will also leave. Although Los Angeles is good, it is not Detroit after all.

East players go to Los Angeles to play, whether they like it or not, they will eventually go back.

On February 2, the Pistons will go to New York to play an away game, and New York is no worse than Los Angeles.

Therefore, there was no delay. After the three of Huo Song stayed in Los Angeles for another night, they flew directly to New York to meet other Pistons players, coaches, and uniform members.

"Where's the All-Star MVP trophy? Have you brought it?"

"I should have a share of this, right? I'll just rub it."

"Group photo, group photo, Huo Song standing in the middle. No, Huo Song is too tall, sit down and take a group photo!"

The Pistons players all knew that Huo Song flew directly from Los Angeles to New York, and the All-Star MVP trophy was in his bag.

They hadn't seen the trophy in reality before, but now that they finally saw it, it was natural that those who saw it had a share.

Ever since, Big Ben reluctantly took out the All-Star MVP trophy from his bag.

The others didn't care, after all, Huo Song and Da Ben often appeared in pairs.

Not to mention that the two of them always get tired of being together during training and are far away from others, even in games, they often play some intimate and incredible cooperation.

I knew they had something to do!
The Pistons players said that they have long been familiar with it.

The Pistons players took photos with the All-Star MVP trophy and Huo Song one after another before re-entering their daily training.

Although Larry Brown just had a round with the players and the coaching staff, he quickly got into work.

Now that the All-Star Game has been played, it means that there are only two months left before the playoffs.

The regular season has entered the next stage. The Pistons need to stabilize their record or even achieve a better record. Players need to maintain their previous level and even show a better competitive state.

Then, scientific, effective and planned training is essential.

After a day and a half of training, the Pistons finally ushered in the evening game.

Although he won the All-Star MVP, Huo Song returned to the team and still started as a substitute.

It is not very important whether to start or not, the key is to win the game.

It is impossible for the Pistons to trade without Rasheed Wallace. It is not appropriate to let him play as a substitute and watch Huo Song, a rookie, start on the field.

Sometimes if you want to achieve a great goal, you can only accommodate others by yourself.

Huo Song was chosen by the Pistons himself, and Rasheed Wallace was more like a mercenary.

For the team to mobilize the power of each player, powerful mercenaries are also essential.

They don't have that much affection for the team, and sometimes they get emotional.

Those who can sacrifice for the team can only be their own players.

Huo Song played as a substitute to make Rasheed Wallace happier and more comfortable.

For a lineup like Double Wallace, the Pistons also need time to continue to run in.

How to put it, we have to wait until this season's playoffs are over before we can really run in.

The team's running-in problem, only through high-intensity games can we know the result.

It is precisely because of this that it was Rasheed Wallace instead of Huo Song who faced Mutombo at the beginning.

On the jump ball, Mutombo is indeed old and strong, not losing to young people at all.

The New York Knicks got the ball for the first attack of the field.

It's a pity that Alan Houston missed the game due to injury, and the Knicks failed to trade an All-Star guard before the trade deadline, but just asked Tim Thomas from the Bucks.

This time, New York played a group of forwards, and Frank Williams, a rookie selected last year, also held the ball.

Frank Williams passed the ball to Tim Thomas after half court, but soon Tim Thomas was not ready to handle the ball, but instead passed the ball to power forward Kurt Thomas inside.

The two Thomas blamed each other, because Kurt Thomas was a little uncomfortable being defended by Da Ben, and couldn't find a good shot, so he could only pass the ball to the outside.

This time Tim Thomas didn't hesitate, and directly pulled out from outside the three-point line.

There is one thing to say, this is an anti-aircraft gun with extraordinary talent and good at shooting. Even if he is mixed up as a salty fish, when he is accurate, he can make Kobe suffer.

But facing Prince's defense this time, it was a little bit less interesting.

With a three-pointer, Big Ben protected the defensive rebound.

Because the Knicks have many forward players and are not afraid of playing fast breaks with the Pistons, the Pistons are not in a hurry.

New York's lineup looks tough on the inside, but in fact the defense is not that strong.

After all, Mutombo is old. Even if he plays inside, Rasheed Wallace pulls out to play, and he is capable of singles against Mutombo, not to mention that the Pistons still have Hamilton's space to play under the basket.

Big Ben is blue-collar, but that doesn't mean he can't score.

Let's just say that in the All-Star Game that had ended before, Daben scored 8 points!

Although the score is the least among the ten starters, compared with most of the substitutes, he has taken the lead.

After halftime, the Pistons launched an attack from Billups holding the ball high, and finally the ball fell into the hands of Hamilton.

With Alan Houston absent, who can the New York Knicks stand up to Hamilton?

"A textbook mid-range jumper, Richard Hamilton helped the Pistons score 2 points first!"

The Pistons played their own level in the first round. First they defended, then grabbed rebounds and counterattacked, and finally played positional battles and passed the ball to Hamilton. Hamilton used his best way to help the team take the lead.

Seeing this, the New York Knicks could only find another opportunity to attack.

Maybe it was trying to play a fast break, but the ball didn't wear well.Unexpectedly, the Knicks actually had a problem that shouldn't have occurred such as a serve error.

Prince steals the ball, and then directly launches a fast break. When he rushes to the basket, he suddenly switches to a slow three-step layup.

Frank Williams was caught off guard and failed to defend Prince's attack.

As soon as the Pistons came up, they beat the Knicks 4-0.

It was found that the players on the field were out of their minds and did not find their playing state at all. Knicks coach Lenny Wilkens immediately called a timeout to adjust.

Now the Knicks are a bad team, in a bad state where they don't want to be bad but are doing badly.

The players of this kind of team are just dawdling. Once the rest time is relatively long like the All-Star weekend, after the players return to the regular season, post-holiday syndrome will appear.

To put it simply, I have taken a break and I can't find the feeling of playing basketball anymore.

The Pistons have more or less such problems, but fortunately, Larry Brown's training arrangements are serious.

The Pistons players could try to enter the state as early as yesterday, but Huo Song played a game with Da Ben, and the state did not change.

Having said that, the Pistons are much better than the Knicks, and the Knicks players are out of shape. The result of this game is obvious.

Obviously, a timeout alone cannot save the poor state of the Knicks.

With Alan Houston on the court, the Knicks can still play a dozen games, but Alan Houston is injured, and the Knicks have no leader.

Lenny Wilkens is a Hall of Fame coach, but so what?
No matter how good a coach is, he can't control a bad team in just a few days.

Some time ago, the Knicks just fired the head coach Don Cheney. Lenny Wilkens was unable to grasp because the water in New York was too deep. For W's sake, he was ordered to coach in New York.

Obviously, he has a lot of talent and rich coaching experience, but there is still no way to win the current team.

After only seven minutes into the first quarter, Lenny Wilkens called three timeouts.

But it was useless, without Huo Song playing, the Pistons had already tied the score at 19-5, the Knicks didn't know how to score, and they didn't know how to defend the Pistons.

The Pistons are all playing positional warfare, which has already lowered the rhythm of the game.

However, it has done a good job in terms of success rate.

Coupled with a good defense, the Knicks are like a dough that the Pistons can knead at will.

"Go back to play at home tomorrow, Huo Song, you should rest first and play again in the second quarter."

Larry Brown told Huo Song that way, and Huo Song would naturally not refuse the chance to win.

Huo Song originally thought that there would be less rest time in the second half of the regular season, and that Larry Brown would enter the playoff mode early, play seven or eight players in rotation, adjust the player's status as soon as possible, and maintain the team's level.

Unexpectedly, Huo Song was able to sneak away from his busy schedule.

I have to say that this kind of life is comfortable.
