Chapter 496: [Shoot, Yao Ming! 】

The Lakers have a new dunk king, the popularity has been further improved, countless people are optimistic about the future of Iguodala.
On the 21st, the Western Stars trained, Yao Ming added a three-pointer, and Yang Rui also let the players practice the tactics of the inside.
Yang Rui was only accompanied by bodyguards this weekend, and Steiner went to film, so he could put more energy on the basketball court, and winning was worthwhile.
After coming to Denver, Bryant did not go out to play, stayed in the hotel when he was not active, he was still listless during training.
Kobe's wife, Vanessa, was not present at this star game. The fans were too unfriendly. Even if Vanessa was not in danger to see the ball, they would recall bad memories.
Garnett did not have the enthusiasm to play the All-Star, and his mind was in the Timberwolves. He did not communicate with his teammates during training. After a few shots, he sat sideways in a daze.
Ordinarily, players and coaches have to say a few words, but Garnett hasn't seen Yang Rui right before. That's quite a drag. Yang Rui satirized Garnett as a commentary guest at TNT. Although what was said was true, Garnett had a great opinion of him.
Yang Rui was also not interested in taking Garnett because he knew it was impossible to cooperate. With Garnett's annual salary, if Bryant and Kobe are in the same team, most of the team must get a base salary.
The other two players in the Western Conference start, Duncan is very selfless, Nash passes mainly, Yang Rui is convinced that no one will grab the ball with Yao Ming, as long as he dares to vote, he will have the opportunity to compete for MVP.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the 2005 Star Weekend was a great failure. It failed to drive Denver's economy and the game lacked exciting scenes. In the end, the Eastern Conference won 125 to 115, and the MVP was won by Iverson who played the longest.
He played 32 minutes, made 4 of 13 shots, and shot only 30.8%. With 7 of 7 free throws, he scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, and 7 turnovers.
The best performers are all at this level, and it is conceivable what other people are doing. The scoring leader of the Star Game is Ray Allen of the West, 17 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
Ray Allen is now miserable. He is the boss of the Bucks and can't make the playoffs. Although he averages 24.5 points, 4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, his shooting rate is close to entering the 50+40+90 club, but he even has a star game. Not selected.
Ray Allen is too low-key, with almost no exposure and no popularity.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, the best star of the 2005 All-Star game was actually Duncan, but Popovich was the head coach. He only let Duncan play for 17 minutes. He did not play in the second half and sat on the sidelines to watch the excitement. He made 7 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, got 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. The efficiency was amazing.
After a brief training, the stars have a certain tacit understanding, because the tactics are very simple, the guard catches the shot, the forward cuts, Yao Ming is the same as when he was in the Lakers, the middle of the road, shooting, air cutting, are all his good job.
Before the game, the stars were interviewed.
Yao Ming boldly expressed his thoughts. "This is my first time participating in the Star Game. I am very happy. I will work hard to get the MVP and hope that my teammates will pass me the ball."
The reporter asked: "How are you feeling against O'Neill in the All-Star Game?"
"He is an amazing center, I believe this will be very interesting, I am ready."
The reporter interviewed other stars. The people who participated in the star game for the first time all had a lot of emotions. Wade, Okur, James and others all wanted to prove themselves.
The most wanted person in the West is Anthony, because this is his home court, calling on teammates to pass the ball to himself.
When the reporter asked O'Neill whether he would shake hands with Kobe at the star game, O'Fat perfunctoryly said: "I wouldn't sit at home all day thinking about this."
When the players played, an awkward scene happened, and Kobe was booed by Nuggets fans again. The day before yesterday, when Kobe Bryant was watching the rookie challenge at the Pepsi Center, as soon as a close-up shot of him appeared on the big screen, the fans on the sidelines immediately blew up, and an uncontrollable booing sounded.
Kobe Bryant was really embarrassing this weekend, and tricky reporters deliberately asked unpleasant topics with a provocative color. Kobe Bryant, who had experienced Eagle County, was a lot smoother when he answered, but it certainly affected his mood.
As a starter chosen by fans, even if the mood is worse, Kobe will still have to play the game. Abuse? Abuse? You said that abuse is not abuse? Oops, it's cruel!
Eastern Conference starters: Iverson, McGrady, Carter, James, O'Neal.
Starters in the West: Nash, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.
O'Neill won by jumping the ball and the game began.
In the west, the most labor-saving joint defense is adopted. Everyone's position is fixed, and the position is not followed. Iverson passed the ball to Tracy McGrady and ran to the bottom line. Tracy McGrady faced Nash in the road and easily scored three points.
The arc of the ball is very flat, the intensity is a little bit big, and the frame comes out. Duncan got the rebound and handed it to the Nash organization.
Nash dribble the ball slowly to the frontcourt. Midway and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll on the right, attracting James to change defense and pass the ball to Yao Ming in the middle.
This is an obvious misplacement. Iverson is not only the shortest of the two teams, but also has no close defense.
Yao Ming received the ball comfortably, took a look, recalled the rhythm of the usual three-point practice, and made a jump shot. The arc of the ball is perfect, hollow into the net, 3 to 0.
Yao Ming smiled happily when he returned to the defense. He feels very good today.
Offensive in the east, Carter ran to catch the ball, and the breakthrough did not make it out of the perimeter. Tracy McGrady pulled out again, ignoring Nash's defensive goal and returned a three-pointer. 3 to 3.
This is McGrady's best style of play. Since the beginning of last season, his dry pull-up jumpers have become more and more, and he gradually began to coincide with the image of McGrady with a short peak period in Yang Rui's previous life. He has the ability to fight because of a back injury.
The attack of the Western Forces was equally simple~EbookFREE.me~Nash drove to the frontcourt to play pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, then split the ball to the middle.
Yao Ming did not hesitate to take the ball and made a 3-pointer jumper. This time he missed and O'Neal grabbed a rebound. The eastern counterattack quickly, Iverson gave Carter, the latter attracted Kobe defense, passed to James.
James got rid of Duncan with speed and went into the penalty area on the right. 3 to 5.
Offensive in the West, Nash still played pick-and-roll with Yao Ming to attract defensive points. O'Neill didn't guard out, and Iverson wasn't close, watching Yao Ming one step away.
Yao Ming made a three-point jumper, the chance was very good, and scored another goal without interference! 6 to 5.
Seeing this situation, commentators from various countries feel that they will make big news.
Barkley said with a smile: "Is Yao Ming the main three-pointer today? The big man inside can't defend himself. He really can't finish it. Yao Ming's 36.2% three-point shooting rate in the regular season is not low. He has this ability."
Smith said: "I hope he shoots more. Such a fight must have been arranged by Jerry. He often sends surprise soldiers. Yao Ming shot three points from the outside, and the defender could not block."
At this time, the East completed another attack, James broke through the middle, forced a layup against Duncan's defense, the rebound was picked up by Yao Ming and passed to Nash.
Nash took the halftime and waited for Yao to settle outside the three-point line, fully reflecting the "Lei Feng spirit".
He took the ball and rushed to the left after picking and rolling. At 50 degrees to the left, he attracted Iverson to stop and stopped. The ball was then given to the middle.
Instead of jamming Nash's pass around James, Yao Ming took the ball and pushed James back, turned to the right and backed the jumper. His posture was very beautiful and he was hit by the defense.
8 to 5, Yao Ming took all the opening points in the Western Conference.
Chinese fans are excited, today Yao Ming is proactive and really wants to compete for MVP!
