Vol 3 Chapter 232: Good show opening

A long-awaited battle is about to begin. Therefore, the atmosphere at Staples Arena is very lively. The fans discussed with each other the recent performance of their favorite stars, which teams will stand out in the next games, and so on.
This year's All-Star Game is indeed a game that all spectators around the world are looking forward to. As early as the start of the season, the NBA officially announced the reform plan for this season's All-Stars. The official canceled the East and West competitions, and changed the captain to choose people to build the team. Then the two teams competed on behalf of different charities.
From the selection of the two sides, it can be seen that the ideas of the two captains are very clear. A defender with excellent scoring ability is prioritized, and a striker who can attack and defend is prioritized. In the end, they formed two teams with different styles, but both were very strong. Of course, the final winner depends on the game between the coaches of both sides and the performance of the players on the court.
In fact, for these players, they are very familiar with each other. Even the players selected for the first time such as Anlo, Embiid, Dragic and Towns are no exception. After all, things are gathered together, and people are divided into groups. Everyone is a capable player, and we can naturally play together with each other.
Westbrook takes special care of his little brother. He could see An Luo was a little uncomfortable, so he stayed with him. Even if they are not in the same team.
In the business league of the NBA, although the interests are quite serious, there is never a lack of warm pictures. When Yao Ming debuted on the All-Star stage, he was very nervous to catch the ball at the beginning. Kobe rubbed Yao Ming's shoulder to relax him. Now Westbrook is doing exactly the same thing as Koro.
With the end of the song "Starry Banner" by Steve Ann Ferguson, the 2018 All-Star Game officially began.
The starting players of both sides concentrated in the middle circle. Embiid and Davis are responsible for the jump ball. In the end, Davis, wearing Cousins' No. 0 jersey, played high and helped the James team get the ball for the first offense.
It's not the only thing about playing in a teammate's jersey. As early as the 2000-2001 season, O'Neal wore Kobe's jersey game, using this behavior to support his teammates and also satirized the unfair punishment of the league. But it was the first time in the All-Star Game. It can be seen that Davis and Cousins ​​are deeply emotional.
After James took control of the basketball, it was handed over to Irving.
At the beginning of the game, everyone discovered the difference in this All-Star Game.
Compared with previous sessions, the players on both sides are really serious about defending. In this regard, Curry's Antetokounmpo was very positive when he came up. Under his defense, Durant reluctantly passed the ball. After receiving the ball, Westbrook threw the ball against Harden. Although Harden did not have the advantage against Westbrook, his defense still played a role.
The ball finally hit the iron.
Antetokounmpo grabbed a rebound from his teammate Embiid and then handed the ball to Harden. The latter faced Durant, but failed several times in disguise and had to pass the ball to Curry.
At this point, Curry is in a good position. Westbrook was blocked by Embiid and did not post it for a while, giving him room to shoot. Of course Curry didn't miss it, he shot immediately.
But the result was the same as Westbrook's shot. However, Antetokounmpo grabbed a rebound under James and Davis. Although James was cut from behind, he still controlled the basketball. And, he will take advantage of the situation to make a strong layup. James and Davis immediately doubled up.
The position of the two is very tight, which shows that they are seriously defending.
However, Antetokounmpo shook his hand and passed the ball to Embiid who was following. At this time Embiid is in an open state, so don't score too easily! It can be seen how open Antetokounmpo's field of vision is.
Davis hurried back, stretched out his right hand and went straight to Embiid's basketball. But not only didn't stop the ball, but also got a foul in vain. Embiid is also too weak, holding Davis's right arm directly up, and smashing the ball with both hands. Also got a free throw opportunity.
Embiid is also quite happy after winning the first point of his career in the All-Star Game. He laughed and high-five Antetokounmpo who passed him the ball. Then stood on the free throw line and threw the ball very easily.
"boom!"
Lost the vote!
The rebound was taken by Davis. He swiped his right arm directly and threw the ball to Westbrook near the center line. The latter rushed directly to the basket after receiving the ball. The speed is like a bolt of lightning. But Harden did not give up on defense ~EbookFREE.me~ He has been stuck on the right side of Westbrook, preventing him from layup in the most familiar direction.
However, this is an All-Star. Westbrook is not a rookie who doesn't know how to play. He had already seen James following behind. So after he crossed the free throw line, he slammed the basketball to the backboard.
This is not a mistake! The rebounded basketball was caught by James flying into the air. After that, he swiped his right arm, and a powerful windmill dunked.
The substitute players of the James team had stood up before this, until James succeeded in dunking, they began their own performance-waving towels, showing expressions.
This buckle is indeed too great! Yesterday’s dunk contest was an action that had a chance to get full marks.
Looking back, Harden fired from beyond the three-point line. Although the defensive strength of the James team has brought him a lot of trouble, he can still handle it with his ability.
Facing the defense of his second brother Westbrook, he resorted to his tried-and-tested Harden-style retreat for three-pointers. After a series of fake moves, he drew a distance from Westbrook and then shot.
He is really hard to guard against a ball like this. Moreover, once the defender moves too much, it is easy for him to seize the opportunity to make a foul.
Westbrook's heart is like a mirror. So he didn't get started rashly, just tried his best to interfere. However, it did not play a role.
"Huh!"
The goal is scored!
In the next few minutes, the two sides refused to give in to each other. Especially on the defensive end, they have done very well. Although the All-Star is an exhibition game, judging from the reaction of the audience, everyone still likes this kind of real game. Of course, performances are still required.
