Chapter 236: MVP battle

Upon hearing Sun Hao's call, Nowitzki and Nash both turned their heads and gave him a look of contempt.
Sun Hao shows affection on various occasions, and he is trembling with breath.
But I don't know if Sun Haoxiu really arrived. Nowitzki only scored 13 points and was eliminated from the preliminaries.
It was Nash, even though he missed the last shot, amused himself and lay down on the sidelines.
But he was lucky to reach the final with 15 points in the preliminary round.
His three-point shooting this season is 2 percentage points higher than Sun Hao.
But the facts have proved that the three-point shooting rate is high, and the three-point shooting ability is not directly linked.
But in the finals, Nash's final result was only ranked third.
And there was a rare scene in the final. Both Visley Persson and Peja finally scored 19 points.
This means that the three-pointer contest will usher in a rare overtime.
Sun Hao watched this scene with gusto from the sidelines.
You see, wouldn’t it be nice for him not to participate in giving others a chance?
In the final overtime, Peja scored 9 points in 20 seconds and defeated Persson, who had 5 points.
He also became the second foreign player to win the NBA three-point game after Sun Hao.
The three-pointer contest was wonderful, but the slam dunk contest afterwards was slightly boring, and eventually rookie Jason Richardson was elected the new dunk king.
By the end of this day, the All-Star Weekend also ushered in the most watched race.
Jordan returned to the NBA after two years, the last West All-Star Game was reversed by a big score in the last quarter, Iverson at home, Iverson and Kobe's grudges, old Nelson and his Dallas three gun……
Compared with the previous two days of games, the final day of the main game is the highlight of this Philadelphia All-Star Game.
And there are some unexpected highlights, which started the night before the race.
That night, Iverson changed his image of being rebellious and rebellious in an interview with ESPN.
The first thing he announced was that he would wear the No. 6 jersey in the game tomorrow.
The 76ers' No. 6 jersey has been retired, and it belongs to "Dr. J" Julius Irving.
Irving is recognized as the number one trapeze in the NBA and Jordan's childhood idol.
However, this matter seems to be just foreshadowing. Iverson changed his attitude towards Jordan and praised the of basketball.
"When you mention the name Michael Jordan, it has transcended life itself.
When talking about Michael, it is not for comparison. As long as I can mention Iverson's name, I am already very satisfied.
No one can inherit Michael's mantle. No one can be the second Jordan. "
If the number 34 written on Kobe's sneakers before makes fans guess what Kobe is thinking, then Iverson's move also brings doubts.
Because of such a move, it is very different from Iverson's image.
Iverson, what are you thinking about!
Nobody knows.
But his words were the same as usual, which attracted a lot of heated discussion among fans.
Because when the league pushed Jordan's successor, Iverson said that no one can become the second Jordan.
This will offend many people.
In particular, Jordan's successor Kobe, who is now hotly pushed by the league and fans, ranks first.
On the day of the All-Star Game, the grand opening ceremony detonated the Wachovia Center.
When Jordan debuted, the cheers were already overwhelming.
When Iverson finally appeared on the field, cheers from the scene resounded over the arena.
The son of Philadelphia lives up to the name.
However, when the Western Army came out on the field, the person who received the most cheers was not Kobe, but Sun Hao.
Among them is a large number of Chinese fans.
Except for the big cities like New York and Los Angeles, the gathering places of Chinese are Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia which are relatively early developed cities.
Kobe, feeling uncomfortable all over.
After entering the warm-up session, the reporter interviewed Kobe and asked about Iverson’s remarks.
"We all know that you are Jordan's successor. Your turn-back jumpers and emergency stop jumpers are most like Jordan. You are known as the second Jordan. Do you think Iverson's remarks last night questioned you? "
This is a very tricky question.
Kobe and Iverson will always be compared because of last year's finals.
Journalists will naturally not miss such highly topical questions.
"No, I don't want to be the second Jordan, I just want to be the first Kobe."
But after Kobe took a deep breath, he gave the reporter an unexpected answer.
And this answer is very level.
It not only avoided unnecessary saliva, but also showed his personality.
After answering the reporter's question, Kobe also looked at the opposite half, not only Iverson, but also Jordan.
In last year's All-Star Game, he failed to help the Western Army win the final victory, but this year he will not.
Moreover, he not only has to help the West team win, but also get the MVP.
Adi’s enthusiasm for Sun Hao, Iverson’s words, and even the reaction of the fans before the game, oh yes, and the tree in his heart.
This MVP, he is about to make it!
Sun Hao was warming up on the sidelines. He heard Kobe's words, but he didn't expect to experience another NBA famous scene inadvertently.
But he is not the roundworm in Kobe's stomach, and I don't know what the latter is thinking.
What he thinks now is how to win the MVP of this All-Star Game and help him get a new halo.
The western army has two backcourts, both enemy and friend, but it is estimated that neither of them can think of it. They are the same in MVP.
At this moment, Sun Hao noticed that Yao Ming was somewhat at a loss on the court.
This kind of reaction is reasonable. Although Yao Ming is highly subjective, he did not travel through it like Sun Hao.
Being selected in the rookie season and surrounded by all-star teammates, tension is inevitable.
Just when Sun Hao was thinking about going over and doing something.
Jordan walked behind Yao Ming, chewed gum, smiled and pressed his hand on Yao Ming's shoulder, and then pressed it hard.
"Yao, relax."
Yao Ming turned his head to see Jordan, his nervous expression eased a lot.
Among the Eastern Army, one of them is his teammate.
He also relaxed with Jordan's movements.
Upon seeing this scene, Sun Hao stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose.
The relationship between MM is getting more and more harmonious.
After the warm-up, with the whistle on the scene, players from the east and west made their debut.
On the east side, Kidd, Iverson, Jordan, Antoine Walker, Yao Ming.
On the West side, Sun Hao, Kobe, Garnett, Nowitzki, Duncan.
Duncan turned the ball back to the Western half, officially kicking off the game.
"Give me the ball!"
As soon as Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he heard Kobe reaching out for the ball.
This is a bit anxious.
But he passed the ball and the game has just begun.
After Kobe got the ball, he directly signaled the others to pull away and made three threats to attack.
This is to treat the West as the Lakers.
It was Kidd who defended Kobe, who started out as a symbolic defense.
Kobe took a sudden step to a mid-range jumper.
"Uh!"
Kobe had a good opening touch, leading the Western Army.
Looking back, Iverson held the ball and made a tactical gesture to give Jordan a ball.
His All-Star Game is really confusing.
Jordan came out to catch the ball from the mid-range shot.
But Kobe bypassed the pick-and-roll and jumped out to interfere.
In the All-Star Game, Peter Pan was a little puzzled.
"when!"
Jordan's shot came out of the box.
The Western troops attacked the frontcourt again, and Kobe continued to reach out for the ball.
Sun Hao didn't give it this time.
In this All-Star Game, although he also wants to fight for MVP, you can't let the other four people stand and watch.
He made a tactical gesture, motioning Nowitzki to pull out the pick and roll.
After disassembling, he went in and broke through. Seeing that the East troops hadn't contracted, Duncan got stuck on Yao Ming again, and he quickly layup and scored two points.
Look, this is playing tactics.
Kobe: "..."
Well, speaking of him, besides practicing his left hand, he has to practice throwing.
Throwing is an important part of the defender's technique to end offense.
Iverson continued to play for Jordan.
Jordan kicked off Kobe with a beautiful back run this time, but he still didn't make a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.
He looks a little absent, and a little absent-minded.
But this is not surprising. From the previous press conference that he only played 11 minutes, it can be seen that by the end of the season, his body is tired.
He will be 39 in one week, and it is a bit unrealistic for him to be as big as the Mavericks at the beginning of the season.
Duncan grabbed an offensive rebound.
Sun Hao was originally going to attack with the ball, but the next scene made him somewhat unexpected.
Kobe ran past him and asked for the ball directly from Duncan.
……you are vicious!
Although I didn't know what Kobe was thinking before, it can be seen from Kobe's actions after the opening that he is going for the MVP.
In other words, two people want to be together.
Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt by himself, and didn't wait for others to take the position. He directly accelerated the breakthrough from Kidd to the basket to score.
He scored 2 goals in the opening game!
Iverson continued to play for Jordan in the frontcourt. He wore the No. 6 jersey tonight and played nothing like himself.
People who don't know thought he was pierced by the soul.
But Jordan didn't take the shot himself this time. He signaled Yao Ming to drop into the low post and directly fed the ball in.
Yao Ming received the ball and faced Duncan and turned around and shot continuously, but Duncan saw the timing and gave him a big risk.
Garnett grabbed the rebound.
Kobe, again passed the ball from Garnett.
The western troops fought fast.
Kobe faced Kidd's three-step layup in the fast break.
"Snapped!"
This time Kidd's eyesight quickly stabbed the ball.
Although this is the All-Star Game, he still wants face from someone!
Kobe keeps scoring on him so much, he really treats him as Nash!
The West Forces frontcourt, Nowitzki serves off the field.
Kobe ran over and continued to ask for the ball. Nowitzki... didn't give it.
He also felt it, Kobe has nothing but a frame tonight.
Such an approach is obviously inappropriate in the All-Star game.
He finally threw the ball to the farther Sun Hao.
Sun Hao organized a wave after receiving the ball, Duncan put up the screen, Sun Hao broke into the basket to attract defensive points to Garnett, who staged a two-handed dunk.
Garnett glanced at Sun Hao after dunking.
Although he doesn't like Sun Hao, Sun Hao is obviously better than Kobe.
The game was playing, not only Kobe, but everyone in the West Army felt that Kobe was going to grab this MVP.
Although some had to be given, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
The Lakers are O'Neal with a good temper, and others dare not say anything.
But in the All-Star game, which one is not the core of the respective team?
They don't like the feeling of watching others play.
It was okay in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, they preferred to give the ball to Sun Hao and to play with him.
But this situation is obviously not a good thing, especially if the goal is customized to win.
At the end of the half, the score on the court was 58 to 52, and the East team led by 6 points to end the half.
Although Jordan made 3 of 10 shots in general, Iverson only shot 4 times with low offensive desire, but Tracy McGrady, who came on the bench, was brave.
He continued the hot state before the All-Star game, hitting 16 points in 7 of 10 shots in the half, and even performed a four-seater kick.jpg.
In the West, Kobe made 16 shots in the first half, but he only hit 6 goals and scored 12 points.
His hand feels average, and he is really defending behind Kidd.
Sun Hao made 7 hits 4 times and scored 9 points.
The game entered the intermission.
Old Nelson took a look at the technical statistics before returning to the locker room.
Although it's not the first place to win the All-Star Game, it's definitely not going to work.
There is no need to lose a game that can be won.
And there is also a very important point. Last year, Popovich led the team and was reversed. If he loses by a big score this year, he may have to receive any text messages.
There was no tactical deployment in the locker room of the midfield, and the players all joked in the locker room.
Old Nelson came in at this time and called out Sun Hao and Kobe.
This scene aroused curiosity among others.
"We are going to win this game. You are the guards. Can you organize the team well?"
Sun Hao nodded.
Kobe glanced at Old Nelson and didn't respond. After all, Old Nelson is not his coach.
"Kobe, the premise of everything is that we have to win the game, right?"
Old Nelson suppressed his violent temper~EbookFREE.me~ turned his head and looked at Kobe and said.
Kobe nodded this time.
The convention in the All-Star Game is to give the MVP to the player with the most points in the winning team.
If you can't win the ball, no matter how many points you get.
Old Nelson didn't say it directly, but the reason was clear.
Seeing Kobe nodded, the old Nelson continued to speak.
"We are like this, the ball is always in your hands, one attack is scored, whether you score it yourself or your teammates score it, even if you score, you have the right to dominate the ball next time, otherwise you will give the ball to the opponent. ,understand?"
Old Nelson's deployment is very spiritual.
You have the ability, you score the ball, but if you don't, you can hand it over.
This is fair. All Avenues Map
