Chapter 993 - "MVP"

The All-Star Game starts when the players enter the stadium.

But without O'Neal, the All-Star Game is a lot less joyful fun, last year O'Neal invited Chamberlain to dance together, this year the big sharks did not participate, plus Chamberlain held his breath to win the MVP, and did not have the heart to play any opening dance, so the players entered the relatively dull, that is, Chamberlain added a simple tap dance when he played for the last time.

The starting lineup of the All-Star is voted out, and when voting, there is no specific division of positions, that is, it is simply divided into centers, forwards and guards, so many times it is two big forwards or two small forwards, two point guards or two point guards who play together.

The starting lineup in the West is: Yao Ming + Chamberlain + Duncan + Kobe + Paul; In the East, it is Howard + Smalls + James + Wade + Rose.

The jump ball was between Yao Ming and Howard, but Chamberlain considered that the latter's bounce and bounce speed were dominant, and Yao Ming might not be able to win the jump ball, so he simply threw his arms and went up to do it himself.

Seeing this scene, the fans in the east booed, but what was even louder was the applause of the home fans, and when Chamberlain stood on the halfway line, the fans directly shouted 'MVP', and Chamberlain also turned around and waved around, and the limelight was out for a while.

So that there was no suspense in the jump ball, and Chamberlain waved his hand to Paul.

Originally, there was no defense in the All-Star exhibition game, but this time it was obviously different, and Chamberlain, Kobe, Howard, James, Wade and Rose and other people all wanted to compete for MVP.

Paul was light-hearted, and when he arrived in the front court, he saw that Chamberlain had rushed to the basket and was about to pass the ball to him, but Kobe Bryant came up to ask for the ball, and when he saw Kobe Bryant approaching Paul, Chamberlain was in a state of disarray, Nima, this bastard must be going to play by himself!

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant didn't hesitate to get the ball, and turned around and threw it out with a three-pointer.

It's a pity that Kobe Bryant didn't feel very good at the beginning, and he only heard the sound of "bang" hitting iron, and the basketball rebounded.

Chamberlain grabbed the rebound the most, he stuck Howard and jumped hard, and got the first rebound of the game.

When the ball arrived, Chamberlain landed and quickly shook a shot and then rushed to the basket, deceiving James behind him and attracting Howard, but he did not dunk after rushing to the basket, but continued to slide forward along the bottom line, and rushed out of the restricted area before suddenly turning around and making a stop-and-go jump shot.

2-0

The ball fell into the hoop, and Chamberlain slapped his chest and shouted, "MVP!" ”

The fans immediately boiled and chanted: "MVP! ”

Howard gave Rose a quick serve, who took the ball and stepped forward, instantly increasing his speed to the top of his game.

Rose's body is extremely perverted, at this moment he showed this, he rushed forward with his feet, and the speed immediately increased to the fastest, Chamberlain was startled and hurriedly followed to defend, but he only took two steps, and Rose had already rushed past half the court!

But Rose is not Iverson after all, if the latter has such a fast offensive opportunity, it must be OK to ride the dust and score a layup, Rose can't do this, he rushes fast, but there is no kind of domineering and ferocious momentum, Paul quickly followed, and squeezed Rose to get stuck.

James strode up to follow, Rose is a point guard after all, his vision and passing feel are very good, he saw that he had no chance, he directly stuck Paul and then passed the ball to the middle, and the follow-up little emperor got the ball and did not slap again, and directly began to take three steps to make a layup, stepping on the spring-like 'Teng' jump, and suddenly came to a violent dunk.

The little emperor landed after a dunk and swung his fist hard in response to Chamberlain's previous 'MVP' call, but his popularity was far worse than Chamberlain's, and he was responded to by boos.

Western attack, Paul ran with the ball not fast or slow, Kobe and Duncan inserted support from both wings, Yao Ming landed on the inside for the first time, Paul looked at the running position of his teammates, he waved his hand, and Chamberlain rushed out to help him cover.

Seizing the opportunity, Paul flew out like a ghost, and Chamberlain stuck Wade and followed from the middle.

Paul didn't pass the ball, but waved his hand to signal Yao Ming to pull it out and continue to cover himself, so that the inside line was blank, he didn't hesitate, but threw the ball out.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the blank penalty area, as if it was a flying dragon out of the sea, Chamberlain received the ball and glared at the hoop, he held the ball with both hands and pulled it to the lower abdomen and lifted it suddenly, smashing the ball into the hoop with a bang.

“MVP” Chamberlain opened his mouth when he landed, but before he could pronounce it, the fans had already roared first.

The starters in the east are definitely inferior in height compared to the west, and they have an advantage in speed and mobility, so they must run and shoot.

Rose got the ball and rushed across the half court with lightning speed, and as soon as Paul got stuck on him, he immediately passed the ball to Wade in front of the three-point line.

The Flash didn't even do a feint, he rushed in with Kobe Bryant, James worked with him for half a season, and now he has a tacit understanding, he helped Wade block Kobe and then immediately followed from the flank, so Kobe didn't have time to defend Wade, so he followed James.

Chamberlain, of course, was in charge of guarding the penalty area, and Wade was targeted by him, and as soon as he saw that things were not good, he passed the ball to James on the flank.

Kobe Bryant chased after James like a ghost, he didn't make any moves before, but when James jumped up to the basket, he rushed up from behind fiercely, and his big palm pressed the ball that the little emperor raised above his head, and slapped the ball down.

After all, Kobe Bryant is also a local star in California, and the most fans on the scene are from California, so cheers and applause immediately rose.

The beginning of the game was a series of violent dunks and blocks, and the adrenaline of the fans immediately began to soar, and the excitement was still unknown.

The offense in the West was much more organized, Paul looked at the position of his teammates, Kobe and Chamberlain both ran out to ask for the ball, but Paul passed the ball to Yao Ming.

Seeing this pass, the old Nelson, who was in charge of the command, nodded.

Paul not only has a high ball quotient, but also a high emotional intelligence, and he guessed what Nelson Sr. meant, now that there is a lack of mobility in the West, Nelson Sr. will replace him after Yao Ming's appearance, and then let Chamberlain play center.

Yao Ming also asked for it in the penalty area, because Howard was pinned down by Chamberlain, and there was no one who could defend him in the East, so James was there to stand up to him, Yao Ming pushed two steps back, turned around and made a feint to attract James to distract, and then jumped up and scored with a hook hand.

After that, there were several more opportunities, and Paul planned to assist Yao Ming in attacking, so that after three and a half points, Yao Ming scored 6 points with free throws.

The old Nelson immediately called a timeout, Yao Ming was also very knowledgeable, and directly took a towel and sat on the bench after getting off the court, while Durant began to warm up.

The lineup changes in the West, with Chamberlain, Durant, Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, and West, and Howard, Garnett, James, Wade, and Gentleman Ray in the East.

West controls the ball, then Kobe Bryant basically has no play, Flyer knew this, so he shook his head with a smile, and simply stood outside the three-point line to help the Western troops contain Jun Zilei, and did not directly participate in the offense.

West faced Wade's defense and changed direction continuously, and then he pulled out his feet and rushed inside, Wade's defense was also very tough, and West was stuck outside, West didn't care, and threw the ball to the rebound with an arm flick.

The basketball hit the board, and then rebounded, Chamberlain jumped up from behind with a loud shout, Garnett and Howard grabbed the rebound together and didn't block him, the three were entangled in the air, Chamberlain's long arm stretched out and took off the rebound accurately, he received the ball and smashed it in, and directly came to a violent dunk!

"Toot toot!" The referee blew the whistle and then gave Garnett a foul and Chamberlain hit a free throw to give the West a six-point lead at 14-8.

Wade chose to break through to the basket again, and he seemed to have a lot of ideas about the All-Star MVP this time, and he rarely chose to finish the offense by himself.

But he underestimated Chamberlain, who was guarding the penalty area, and Wade still hit the basket and threw a shot, but Chamberlain came to a dry land to pull onions, and the ball flew in the air and was slapped down by him.

Who knew that James was following behind, he jumped in the air to catch the ball that was shot out, and after landing, he jumped up quickly and hit the shot.

West didn't want to do things badly, so he handed the ball to Kobe, Peter Pan was a little surprised, he smiled, tried to play back in the front court, and gave the ball to West again when he encountered the bag.

West stood on the three-point line, after receiving Kobe's pass, he saw that James and Wade were wrapping Peter Pan, Garnett was responsible for defending two people in the high post, and Howard was left alone to deal with Chamberlain, so his eyes lit up immediately and he threw the ball to the hoop.

This kind of team Chamberlain is to deliver food, he first ran back to catch the ball, attracted Howard to follow out, and immediately reflexively returned to the basket, his mobility is better than Howard, so he took the lead in the basket to land, jumped up to catch the ball and came to an air relay.

There was a super beautiful counterattack in the East, when Chamberlain ran back, James and Wade on the outside rushed forward together, Howard served to Junzi Lei, who came directly with a long half-court pass, threw the ball out of forty feet and sent it to James, who had just crossed the halfcourt line.

Wade had already rushed into the three-point line in the front court at this time, and the West troops had no time to return to defense, James passed the ball in, there was no one around Wade, he easily ran to the basket, and then the strong body searched and then bounced quickly, and a beautiful little windmill dunk.

The tempo of both sides was very fast, and although the defense was very hard, the score was still very high.

In the opening seven and a half minutes, the two teams quickly played a score of 27:23, with the Spanish team leading by four points.

The two teams went into a timeout again, this is an All-Star, and the ones who can be selected are all one side of the princes, so it is impossible to let someone play a full 40 minutes, and this time the head coaches of the two teams have coincidentally made a big change.

The West is Oden + Duncan + Durant + Kobe + Westbrook, the old Nelson's substitution surprised fans, because Kobe is a strong contender for Chamberlain to win the MVP, he actually replaced Chamberlain and let Kobe continue to be there, isn't this to find Chamberlain unhappy?

There are also large-scale substitutions on the eastern side, Reaves sent a lineup of Horford + Garnett + Smalls + Pierce + Ross, this lineup is a bit strange, this can be said to be three forwards without a pure center - Horford plays pure center but is not tall, Garnett is tall enough but he is born as a power forward.

The ball in the East, Pierce was in the high post to get the ball, and he grinned at Kobe Bryant and spewed trash talk: "Kobe, do you want to win the MVP?" Are you dreaming? Do you know who you're opposing? It's the great immortal, the greatest star in the league, you're going to finish today, see how I play you......"

Kobe Bryant is actually a real ruthless man, just now Chamberlain was so good, so he was under all kinds of pressure, and now he is against Pierce, who actually spewed trash talk, he simply didn't care what superstar demeanor or all-star everyone came to play, and directly went up and gave Pierce an elbow from behind.

How did Pierce expect Kobe to be so shameless on such an occasion? He couldn't prevent the pain, he didn't protect the ball all of a sudden, and was broken by Kobe Bryant's wave!

"Pretend to be struck by lightning!" Chamberlain laughed from the sidelines gloating.
