Vol 3 Chapter 227: Warm up

After the game with the Grizzlies, Anlo did not return to Oklahoma City with the team.
He flew directly from Memphis to Los Angeles.
The first stop is of course Irvine. He first went to his old mother and reported it. An Luo felt that she hadn't been to see her for a long time. Since the relationship with Tang Xiaoru was confirmed, the small villa in Oklahoma City has become a two-person world for the two. Fu Yao rarely goes there anymore. During the offseason in the summer, he was very busy. So this time it is rare to have a few days of rest, An Luo naturally still has to accompany her well.
After a day's stay, An Luo arrived. There, I relived my previous time on campus with Tang Xiaoru. After that, An Luo brought Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao together. Then the three people went to the All-Star event together.
An Luo has played many games in Los Angeles. He is used to the spotlight here. For the city of Los Angeles, there will never be a shortage of stars and media. But this time coming to Staples for the All-Star Weekend event still surprised him.
This year's All-Star, An Luo is quite busy. He must participate in the final day of the race; in the three-point contest, as the defending champion of the previous session, he will continue to participate; the rookie game regarded as the warm-up for the All-Star race, An Luo still has to participate. An Luo, who was selected as an All-Star in his second year, is undoubtedly selected.
In last year's Rookie Challenge, An Luo played quite well. Under his leadership, the world team eventually defeated the American team. An Luo himself became the most dazzling star in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.
This year, An Luo is also rushing for victory and MVP. After all, every player selected into the NBA has such a thing only twice during their entire career.
That night, Tang Xiaoru and Fu Yao sat in the second row near the technical desk. These two tickets were obtained with Westbrook's help. He and Paul George and their family were also sitting there. It is the first time Paul George has come to watch this game, and Westbrook has come more.
In the Thunder last year, An Luo and Sabonis were selected for the Rookie Challenge together. This year, the Thunder traded the latter to the Pacers. However, in this All-Star Rookie Challenge, the two became teammates again.
But this time, Sabonis still did not get too many opportunities for performance. It's not that he is not good enough, but the way the world team plays this year is really crazy.
Mainly, Anluo and Bogdanovic were acting crazy.
In the first quarter, An Luo fired from outside the three-point line. With his shooting level, he encountered the All-Star exhibition game that did not pay much attention to defense, and the lethality was too strong.
After An Luo opened, other players of the world team were not far behind. Saric and Bogdanovic are also good three-pointers. Especially Bogdanovic, who was five feet away from the three-point line, hit Markanen with a hit. Let An Luo admire it very much.
Of course, the players on the US team did not perform badly. However, their offense is completely opposite to the world team. They hardly end the offense from the outside. The players have given full play to their athletic abilities, constantly hitting the penalty area of ​​the world team, relying on their faster speed and stronger confrontation ability. Pull rods, dunks, empty picks... the spectacle goals one after another quickly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
The most prominent American player who realized it was the Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell. He made a self-deduction shortly after the opening, which made everyone vaguely see a trace of McGrady. Collins also performed very well. He first made a short pick with Markanen, then turned around to steal Embiid, and then slammed into the dust, dedicated a heavy windmill dunk.
But the score on the field has always been the world team leading. Especially in the second half, Anluo and Bogdanovic consecutively soared various difficult three-pointers from the outside, leaving the US team directly behind the world team by as much as 15 after a wave of 23:9. Minute!
If it weren't for the last minute, the Celtics' probing show duo Jaylen Brown and Tatum scored 7 points and pulled the difference back to single digits. They may be even harder in the second quarter.
But even so, the US team was still quite uncomfortable by the world team in the second quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, the outside shooting percentage of the world team began to decline. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fate of Anluo and Bogdanovic. But the world team did not appear to be offensive. Under such circumstances, Embiid opened up. Whether it is a low offense or a pull out to shoot, he performed quite well~EbookFREE.me~ With Embiid on the court, the world team withstood the American counterattack.
When you mention this guy, you have to sigh the 76ers' eyes. Even if "The Great" has been reimbursed for several consecutive seasons, they are willing to wait. It now appears that everything is worth it. At this year's All-Star Weekend. Only two players participated in the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game. One is An Luo and the other is Embiid.
The US team's dunk is still the object of cheers for the audience. But with An Luo and others on the court, the world team once again rained three points. Bogdanovic even hit a three-pointer just after passing the center line. The fighting power that this guy showed under the defense of the All-Star Game is really too strong.
An Luo is different. He rarely shoots super long three-pointers. After all, limited by the influence of the bracelet, his effective shooting range is only within one meter from the three-point line. But he was really too accurate. In the first half, he hit 7 three-pointers! And it only took 9 shots.
After a gust of wind and rain, the world team opened the point difference to 20 points.
In the second half, the American team strengthened their defense. But facing the open world team pitchers, they are still somewhat powerless. In the end, the US team lost to the world team again with 124155.
In this game, Mitchell of the US team turned out well. He scored a US team-high 32 points, and among all the players he played, he was only a little lower than Anlo's 34 points. Did not lose the face of the 13th overall guard.
MVP was naturally awarded to An Luo. In this game, he only played 26 minutes, shot 15 times and hit 11 of them! The hit rate is as high as 73%. Where is the competition? It's all training!
