Chapter 256 The Eastern Army's counterattack! !
Knowing what these super giants wanted to express, Barkley couldn't help but look at Bruce who accepted the salute with emotion: "This guy is really a person that everyone likes!"
"Haha, why do I like him so much?" Smith said with great anticipation with a joyful expression on his face.
"Don't say you have an unsurpassable "friendship" with Bruce!!" Barkley resisted the urge to burst out laughing, and looked at Smith with weird eyes!
"Oh, damn Charles, don't you think this is a very sad thing to do to an old friend?" Smith pretended to be heartbroken, and then even as Barkley laughed, He pretended to be angry and said, "Is there no pure friendship between us?"
"Pfft.. Hahaha!!" Barkley couldn't help laughing anymore, and slapped the table exaggeratedly: "Haha, pure...friendship??"
have to!Smith was completely speechless, he was so speechless at this guy's funnyness that he asked the heavens!
On the court, as the super giants waved to the surrounding fans one by one, after a grand and shocking opening ceremony, they walked off the court one after another!
The coach of the Western team is Coach Rick Adelman, who led the Kings to make great changes, and the East is Coach Larry Brown, who led the trend of the 76ers!
The coaching styles of the two coaches are very different. As Shuai gradually integrated the Princeton style of play with his own tactics, he achieved great success this season. He used the Princeton style of play to transform a team. As one of the most entertaining teams in the league, it has to be said that this famous coach is extremely capable!
On the other hand, coach Larry Brown, one of the leaders of the academic school, the idea that only defense can win the championship has deeply penetrated into his bones!
With the reconciliation between Iverson and Larry Brown this season, after putting Iverson at the shooting guard position, with his defensive toughness and Iverson's strong offensive power, he has become the most anticipated team in this season. One of the teams!
"The most surprising thing about this game is the All-Stars in the West. Their strikers have excited everyone!" Barkley finished his teasing and analyzed with a smile.
"That's right, since Michael left the league, the pattern of strong west and weak east has gradually emerged, and it has reached its peak this year!" Smith glanced at the smiling "Master Joe" sitting in the box on the second floor with great emotion. ", regretfully shook his head!
"drop!!"
With the sound of the referee's whistle, the starting players of both sides walked to the court one after another!
Bruce looked at these super giants who had just paid tribute to him with a smile, stood up and waved sincerely to them one by one to say hello!
"Guys, what did you see? This guy Bruce was moved by us!!" Garnett responded to Bruce in a funny way like an orangutan.
Hearing Garnett's voice and funny appearance, the rest of the East and West players who were about to play burst into laughter!
The appearance of the super giants made the fans laugh, and everyone was very kind to these guys' "omnipotent" performance!
The East started, because Mourning and Grant Hill were unable to play due to injuries, and they were replaced by Anthony Mason Jr. and Antonio Davis of the Heat respectively!
In the West, because of O'Neal's injury, Kevin Garnett replaced him!
From this All-Star session, we can see the situation of the All-Star lineup for many years in the future, and the players who are still in the All-Star at this time are basically some aging players!
With the jump ball from Antonio Davis and Duncan, after gaining the ball in the West, the All-Star Game officially kicked off!
Carter relied on the results of the top votes, while replacing Kidd, Kobe Bryant, the regular season scoring leader, switched to the position of point guard!
Because in the All-Star, only the player with the highest votes will be selected as the starter, and the rest of the players will be ranked in the back according to the order of position!
At the beginning of the game, both sides are basically in the stage of defending with "eyes" on the defensive end!
As the leading scorer in the regular season, Kobe quickly ran forward the first time he held the ball!
Because of the presence of three elders in the West, their speed did not keep up with Kobe for a while, but they ran over at the same pace!
Kobe, who ran to the frontcourt, waited until everyone else came to the frontcourt, and then started cruising!
Bruce looked at the situation on the field very clearly. Even with the memory of his previous life, he was still very shocked by the current Western All-Stars!
The center has Duncan, the power forward is the gorgeous and powerful Webber, and the small forward is because of O'Neal. Garnett tops the small forward position. In addition, Carter and Kobe, who are 2 meters tall, have a height advantage in the West. It can only be said to be extremely strong, but the East will appear weaker in terms of height and competitive ability!
As Kobe launched the offense, the rest of the players in turn made room for him to break through!
Kobe dribbled the ball to the high position on the left, first took a look at Iverson, who was on par with him in the regular season, and then suddenly started to kill the inside!
Seeing Kobe's arrival, the All-Star players in the Eastern Conference all stepped aside intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing such a situation, of course Kobe would not let go of this opportunity to perform a powerful performance. I saw him dodging Iverson's symbolic steal without any defense, and then he turned around 180 degrees The dunk with both hands kicked off the performance with a bang!
"There may not be any accidents in the East this time!" Cole, as a layman, couldn't help expressing such emotion after seeing the strong lineup in the West!
"Really?" Hearing Cole's words, Bruce smiled playfully, and then silently watched Iverson on the court and Marbury eager to try off the court!
In the first quarter, as expected by most fans and the media, the West controlled the rhythm of the game with an absolute advantage!
When the West finally returned to the field with 30:17, everyone was shocked by the toughness of these guys!
"Even though the defense in this quarter, the eastern players did not perform well, but they ended the quarter with 17 points, which is simply amazing!" Barkley looked at the eastern players with a depressed face, Especially I took a second look at Larry Brown!
"Hey, I don't know how Larry will feel!" As if sensing Barkley's thoughts, Smith looked over with a smirk!
Bruce and Cole looked at the scores of the two sides above the court a little speechlessly. From their point of view, although the eastern part seemed a bit weak in terms of starting and bench lineups, it really surprised everyone to play for this sake!
"Dude, the Eastern Stars have no chance!" Cole shook his head helplessly. Although he was very sure about his prediction, after all, a game that didn't seem very exciting still made him a little depressed!
"That's not necessarily the case, don't forget the existence of Allen and Stephen!" Bruce still looked like he was waiting for a good show to happen!
His appearance really made Cole curious while he was speechless!
Intersection break, with the end of some small links, players from both sides returned to the field again!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides used wonderful dunks one after another to present various exciting "gifts" to the fans.
Because of the absent-minded defense of the East, the West also attacked the basket again and again!
When the time just passed 5 minutes, Iverson really burst out with huge energy!
In this quarter, through his scoring and connection, the Eastern team finally won back two points in a single quarter with a score of 33:31, but the huge point difference between the two teams is really a huge mountain that is difficult to climb!
During the halftime break, with Bruce's consistent performance as always, after the fusion of Chinese and American entertainment programs, the fans have a curiosity-seeking mentality, allowing them to fully appreciate the impact of Chinese culture!
As the whistle sounded at the end of halftime, the West's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and all fans had seen their final victory!
In the third quarter, with the rest of the star players playing wonderful performances one after another, the two sides finally returned to some of the defensive intensity at the beginning of the regular season!
In this quarter, the most surprising performance is the eastern starter Tracy McGrady!
In this quarter alone, he scored as many as 20 of the 10 points in this quarter by virtue of his good scoring ability and his strong performance in the slam dunk contest.
Although the East maintained a very good state under the outbreak of McGrady, they still lost to the Western Stars at 20:28 in a lineup in which the West was obviously stronger than the East. The two sides have basically set the final match. keynote.
Seeing the East trailing the West by as many as 19 points, Bruce finally had some doubts about his memory!
"Could it be that with my presence, all this has changed?" Bruce couldn't help muttering to himself as he watched the two sides compete for the fourth quarter.
When the two teams reached the 9th minute of the fourth quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed dramatically!
With the outbreak of Iverson, even though he only scored 10 points before, the energy that suddenly erupted now really terrified everyone!
When the Western team continued to relax their defense indifferently, with Iverson and Marbury's two three-pointers, the Eastern team shocked everyone by completing a super reversal!
When Marbury made a deadly three-pointer with 23 seconds left in the game, the East shockingly led by 111:110 to the Western All-Stars who had blasted the Eastern team before!
Seeing such a situation, even though Adelman didn't want to call a timeout, he finally couldn't help calling a timeout!
Bruce couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the two sides return to the off-court situation.
"God, this is simply an unbelievable thing, how is this possible??" Cole looked at the positions of the rest areas of both sides in shock. He couldn't imagine such a huge gap!
"drop!!"
Just when the arena was immersed in a huge discussion, with the referee's whistle sounding, the final critical moment for both sides finally came!
Kobe received Garnett's pass with a serious expression. Even though he scored 19 points in the whole game, he couldn't help but give up on the MVP that was so easy to get!
Kobe slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the players of the Eastern team all put out the greatest defensive efforts!
Judging from the situation in previous years, in the second half of the last quarter, it will basically become a "real knife and real gun" competition, especially in the case where the winner will be determined by one goal at the end, and the two sides have even come up with a way to face the playoffs. The intensity of the game!
As time went by, Kobe couldn't find a chance to shoot and pass the ball under the tough defense of the eastern players!
When the time entered the last 8 seconds, Kobe finally moved!
Regarding the situation of the regular season scoring champion, the players in the Eastern Conference were very familiar with the situation, and Iverson and Marbury, who played at the same time, all double-teamed him!
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by the two, Kobe glanced at the time on the timing card for the last time, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and at the moment when he was about to be surrounded, he handed over the basketball to Duncan who had a little room to shoot!
"boom!!!"
At the same time that the offensive time ended this time, Duncan made everyone shout regretfully and missed the ball!
Later, when Iverson received a long pass from his teammate and excitedly threw the ball over the court, the fans were stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers! !
Cole stared blankly at the score above the court, feeling really worried about this unstoppable game!
"This... this is unbelievable!!"
Hearing Cole's yelling in displeasure, Bruce laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and then, like other fans, stood up and gave the warmest applause to the Eastern team that completed this super reversal!
