Vol 3 Chapter 440: The curtain falls

The rest period was not long, and the ceremony of giving away the jerseys passed quickly. Next, is the most exciting moment tonight.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were still on the bench. Those super stars are all sitting on the sidelines and accumulating strength. Wait until the most critical moment, go up and compete for victory in the game.
Giannis took the lead in attacking, Westbrook advanced with the ball.
In tonight's game, Westbrook was very active, but his efficiency was not high. For a long time, he was competing with himself outside the three-point line. In the first three quarters, he made 1-of-8 three-pointers, and the more he missed it, the more he had to shoot. Make yourself an undercover image alive and well. More importantly, Westbrook does not seem to be interested in offenses other than three-pointers. There were several opportunities to empty the basket, and he passed it to other players. However, at the end of the third quarter, Westbrook suddenly became normal. Instead of shooting three-pointers, he uses his more stable breakthroughs to rush to the basket to make kills.
But in the fourth quarter, he competed with the three-pointer again. Facing Lillard's defense, Westbrook raised his hand and made a three-pointer. As a result, it is naturally iron.
After Towns grabbed the rebound, he threw it directly to An Luo who was away from his player. After receiving the ball, An Luo speeded up to the front. Russell defended well, he kept stuck on An Luo's right side, forcing An Luo to move to the left. When the two came outside the three-point line, An Luo suddenly shook the opponent with a sudden brake, and then opened his hand to make a three-pointer and hit it accurately.
138: 134
This is the lead that LeBron has so far tonight.
An Luo, who easily hit a three-pointer, pointed to Westbrook with his right hand on the way back to the defense, very happy. The latter was expressionless, pulled straight up from the right three-point line, and shot again from a long distance.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Westbrook finally made another three-pointer.
Then, he pointed to An Luo's right hand. Very happy with a grin!
After going round and round for a few minutes, the starters of both sides were replaced one after another. Although An Luo performed well, but at this time, he still had to sit on the bench. Of course, he doesn't care. No one can catch up with all the excitement.
Antetokounmpo is very active on both ends of the offense and defense. He has fully entered the regular season. Before the All-Stars, he expressed his desire for the All-Star MVP. But now he is a little worried! Because the situation of the game is not good for them.
In the first half of the final quarter, Leonard and Anlo were the most efficient players on the court, each of which scored 3 three-pointers. But in the second half, Durant became the one to dominate the game.
His consecutive scoring after playing broke the deadlock in the game. Led the LeBron team to a 10:0 climax, holding the initiative of the game in his hands.
With 3 minutes left in the game, Antetokounmpo started his personal scoring performance. He first received a pass from his teammate at the free throw line and dunked directly. Then after Harden retreated and missed a step, he grabbed the rebound and quickly advanced beyond the three-point line. But this time he didn't rush in, but dropped the ball from beyond the three-point line. After the rhythm he forcibly brought up, the Giannis team seems to see the hope of winning again. At this time, Durant stood up again. Using his precise shots, he helped the LeBron team stabilize the situation.
Durant is really stable at this critical moment! The start is also ruthless. Antetokounmpo rushed into the crowd and scored 2 points, while Durant made a three-pointer. A few times, Embiid has already guarded his face, and he still can't organize Durant's shots.
During the last official timeout, the of basketball Michael Jordan appeared on the court. There was a huge cheer at the center of the spectrum. The influence of the first man in history is evident. Even if Jordan often appears in this arena, even if he just stands on the court and doesn't say a word.
Before he appeared, the 1988 All-Star Game was played on the big screen in the center of the court. The protagonist of that session was Michael Jordan. I don't know if it is a coincidence. Now, as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan will hand the All-Star ball to Chicago, the venue of the 2020 All-Star, to complete the heritage of this event.
However, Jordan just showed up in a hurry and then left. I don't know if he hurried home to celebrate his 57th birthday.
After returning to the game, Antetokounmpo did not give up and still played very positively. But the situation of the game is no longer on his side! Antetokounmpo scored 7 of the last 9 points of the Giannis team. Except for Curry, other players didn't get a point in the last 2 minutes ~EbookFREE.me~. It's not that I don't want to score, nor is it that I have no chance to score. Although the LeBron team's defense at the last minute is quite tight, it is impossible to completely guard these guys. But when the opportunity comes out, there is no way to score.
Just when everyone thought the game was over, Curry stepped up to bring this unsuccessful game to a successful conclusion. James missed a step beyond the right three-point line and the rebound was grabbed by Curry. Just when everyone thought he was going to make a three-pointer at halftime, he chose to dunk!
Numerous dunks in the five 囧 series did not make this elementary student give up his love for dunks. After he caught the pass from Antetokounmpo from the three-point line, he slammed the ball to the floor, then quickly rushed towards the penalty area, and finally flew up and received the ball with his back to complete the dunk. This time, there was no slipping and no deduction. After completing an empty pick-up for himself, the pupils themselves were too happy.
In the end, amidst cheers, Team LeBron reversed the Giannis team 179:164 and won the All-Star Game. Durant won the All-Star MVP. Playing 25 minutes, 10 of 15 shots, very efficiently scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. This MVP deserves its name. As the best player in the game, Antetokounmpo has some regrets. However, he is still very young! Going for the regular season MVP this season, there will be opportunities in the future.
In the end, all the players, including those on the sidelines who had already left the NBA league, poured into the court. Everyone hugged each other, talked happily with each other, and enjoyed the final aftermath of this event. For most players, after tonight, goodbye is another opponent!
