Chapter 251 Stars compete for AMVP, Lin Fei and Wade have a dream start!
From the comparison of the Eastern and Western All-Star starters, we can clearly see the pattern of the strong West and the weak East, especially after Dwayne Wade retired.
Among the starting five in the Eastern Conference, only Shaquille O'Neal has won the regular season MVP. Although five championships have firmly placed him in the top ten in history, the 5-year-old O'Neal is obviously no longer at his peak.
"General" Arenas, who replaced Wade as the starter, has only been selected to the All-NBA Third Team twice in his career, which is far from the MVP level, and Chris Bosh has never been selected to the All-NBA Team once. .
The only ones who can hold up the Eastern Conference are the two superstars of the 03 Platinum Generation, Lin Fei and James.
But compared with Garnett, Kobe, and Iverson, Lin Fei and James are obviously too junior.
Looking at the starting five in the Western Conference, except for Yao, the other four are all top 60 stars in history. In total, they have 3 regular season MVPs and 4 championships.
Even top ten superstars in history like Tim Duncan can be squeezed onto the bench, which shows how fierce competition is for stars in the Western Conference.
In the original world, Dayao also missed this All-Star Game due to injury, so Tim Duncan was put into the starting lineup, and the five-star Western Conference team became even more abnormal.
"LeBron, you are the pride of Cleveland, come on, AMVP belongs to you!"
"I love you Corvo, you are the 4 a.m. sun in Los Angeles. Defeat the traitor Shaquille!"
"The historical vote leader with 1089 million votes, the only winner of this All-Star Game, Lin amvp! Lin amvp!"
"Come on Dayao, Chinese fans will always support you!"
"Kevin, you are the eternal Wolf King of Minnesota, burn your youth, burn your blood!"
"Allen, no matter where you go, you are a son of Philadelphia. You will be the king of Philadelphia for ten years and ten years. It doesn't matter if you don't win a championship in your life!"
The starting stars in the Eastern and Western Conferences obviously have a very official fan base. Every fan naturally hopes that their favorite star can become the focus of the stars tonight, lead the team to win and win the All-Star Award. mvp trophy.
Looking around the auditorium, the jerseys worn by the fans are also dazzling and complement each other.
林飞的尼克斯22号、科比的湖人24号和8号、韦德的3号、加内特的森林狼21号、詹姆斯的骑士23号、大姚的湖人11号……
The game started soon. Dayao took the lead in flying the basketball over O'Neal's head. The Western Stars attacked. After Iverson broke through the basket, he faked a fake shot and passed to Garnett for a flying dunk.
"Boom!"
It can be said that the starting lineup of the Western Conference is stacked with two power forwards, and their dominance in the penalty area is naturally stronger than that of the Eastern Conference.
It is obvious that Chris Bosh is the opposite of "Wolf King" Garnett. The immature Dragon King obviously still has the restraint and respect of his younger generation.
As the representative star of the 03 generation, Bosh made his debut in the fourth grade. Even though he was selected as the starter in the Eastern Conference, he was selected as the All-Star for the second time, but this somewhat took advantage of the small competition in the Eastern Conference.
Therefore, in terms of personal fame and strength of the 03 generation, Bosh is not only inferior to the three big guys Lin Fei, Wade and James, but also has a slight gap with the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony. He can only be ranked among the same class. In the 5th place.
Looking back, Arenas also hit Iverson. After breaking through, he threw the board high and assisted O'Neal for a dunk.
"Boom!"
In front of the bench on the sidelines, the head coach of the Eastern Stars is Flip Saunders, and the head coach of the Western Stars is Avery Johnson.
In the Western team's offense, Kobe asked Iverson for the ball at the top of the key, and worked a pick-and-roll with his teammate Dayao. After breaking through, he made a wonderful pass under the crotch, and assisted Dayao to make a solid half-volume jump shot.
"Shh!"
Lin Fei also performed a show with the ball on the offensive end, directly asking for the ball like Arenas in the logo area. Seeing that Kobe did not directly defend him, the surrounding stars obviously wanted to see him shoot for half a court. Three points.
So Lin Fei didn't hesitate, took a step directly, jumped up and took action calmly.
The moment the basketball flew out of his fingertips, Lin Fei knew he had the ball. After landing, he turned around and trotted back to defense.
"Shh!"
The crisp sound of the net brushing was indeed heard, and Lin Fei's unguarded half-court reach was a perfect one.
Countless fans screamed at the scene, but for Lin Fei's fans, there was nothing new about this half-time goal.
"No way, the All-Star three-point champion for three consecutive years is so accurate!"
"Although the opening of the All-Star Game is a performance, Kobe also has to guard against it. If Lin is allowed to shoot from an open position, no matter how far it is, I'm afraid he can hit it!"
Kobe naturally knew that no one could compete with Lin Fei for a three-pointer, so he didn't compete. He came to the offensive end and borrowed a screen from Dayao to suddenly throw away Lin Fei from the outside on the right and cut in.
After receiving a pass from Iverson, he faked a real pass while running, hit the ground and then passed it to the "Wolf King" Garnett. The latter faced Chris Bosh and directly made a leaping and explosive dunk.
"Boom!"
The arrogant and experienced Kevin Garnett had no intention of saving face for the young "Dragon King". After landing, he directly looked down at the dunked Bosh, spread his hands and said:
"Is this what happens in the Eastern Conference? How did you get selected as a starter?"
Garnett's arrogant attitude obviously went too far, embarrassing Chris Bosh who fell to the ground.
Lin Fei took the initiative to relieve the embarrassment, punched the Wolf King on the chest, and joked:
"Kevin, what's the point of dunking on Chris? If you have the ability, dunk on LeBron!"
Then he reached out and pulled Bosh up from the ground.
Among this group of stars, Garnett gave Lin Fei and Kobe the most face. Even veterans like O'Neal and Duncan were unconvinced by him.
"Lin, don't use this guy LeBron as a shield. Do you want me to dunk you?"
Lin Fei smiled and said: "Kevin, what's your ability to dunk on me? I'm a defender. Do you want us to compare three-pointers?"
Upon hearing the three-pointer, Garnett immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and snorted: "Lin, why the hell didn't you say you were competing with me for rebounds?"
Not far away, LeBron James felt a little uncomfortable. What did Lin Fei mean?
All-star games are all about human relationships, such as Allen Iverson and Kobe. Although the two have been fighting since 96, they still have a very good relationship in private, which is why they can provide continuous cooperation in the opening game.
Lin Fei has won championships with Garnett and O'Neal, and now he has attracted the trust of Chris Bosh, not to mention Eddie Curry and Marbury on the bench. Two Knicks teammates and the head coach of the Eastern Conference are also former mentors.
Thinking of my own loneliness and embarrassing situation, it was really damn difficult to compete with Lin Fei for the amvp position.
The Wolf King dunked Bosh's goal, which also made the opening game more intense, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides gradually ignited.
Arenas dribbled the ball forward, allowing Lin Fei to organize at the top of the arc. Lin Fei took the initiative to summon Bosh's pick-and-roll. After dislocation, he made a realistic bow to shake the defense and accelerate to break through the basket.
"Whoosh!"
Kobe flew behind him and chased after Lin Fei. After entering the penalty area, Lin Fei did not directly choose a layup. Instead, he passed an underarm pass in the air, and the ball was firmly passed to Chris Bosh, who was following up.
After Bosh got the ball, he jumped up and was about to dunk, but Kevin Garnett, who was catching up behind him, could take advantage of this kid.
"Snapped!"
Garnett made a wonderful chase shot, but the basketball bounced off the steel backboard and was caught by James. The latter came back and delivered a explosive dunk.
"Boom!"
James, who scored 2 points and 1 rebound in a row, was proud of himself, thinking that he had to rely on himself to compete for FMVP. At least he would crush Lin Fei in the battle for rebounds.
Naturally, the Western team refused to show weakness. Iverson directly chose to play hard. After entering the penalty area, the butterfly went through the flowers. Although the extreme layup after pulling the lever was slightly wide,
But Yao under the basket succeeded in dunking directly with his height and wingspan.
"Boom!"
In front of the courtside commentary desk, Mike Breen and Reggie Miller were also surprised by this unique All-Star event.
"There was a lot of excitement right after the first quarter, which is rare compared to previous All-Stars!"
"But the fans obviously prefer the current feeling. Although they are all-stars, they still hope that the star players can have less performance and more passion and competitive charm!"
The two teams took the lead alternately, and the Western Stars did not show their strength in the opening game.
Less than half a quarter later, Flip Saunders called a timeout and prepared to replace the substitute stars as soon as possible.
After the timeout, all five Eastern Conference starters were replaced. Flip Saunders allowed his disciple Chauncey Billups to lead the team, along with Hamilton, Vince Carter, Jr. and Eddie Curry.
The Western side is also five up and five down. "Little General" Avery Johnson replaced Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Manu Ginobili and Stoudemire you.
This year's Western Conference Stars have a total of 12 starters and substitutes. It's actually a bit interesting to say that they are all from 6 teams, and each team has exactly 2 people selected.
The Lakers are Kobe and Dayao, the Mavericks are Nowitzki and Ginobili,
The Timberwolves are Garnett and Gerald Wallace, the Denver Nuggets are Iverson and Anthony,
The Suns are Nash and "Little Bully" Stoudemire, and the Spurs are Duncan and Parker.
And the current records of these six teams happen to be among the top eight in the Western Conference.
As the substitutes came on, the Western team's star strength was quickly revealed, especially Nash and Stoudemire, the Suns' run-and-gun combination, who successively delivered wonderful goals.
In less than 4 minutes, the Western Stars launched a hearty 16:7 run, quickly extending their lead to double digits.
As the remaining four substitute stars also appeared one after another, the first quarter of the game ended quickly.
Western Stars (43): (32) Eastern Stars.
"Little Bully" Amare Stoudemire, who came off the bench, performed well. He made all 7 shots in the first 5 minutes and scored a game-high 11 points.
Lin Fei only played 5 minutes in the first quarter, hitting two goals and scoring 5 points and 1 assist.
After the start of the second quarter, James and Bosh were substituted, and Lin Fei continued to rest on the bench.
James quickly occupied the ball after coming on the court, making continuous strong bursts and pull-up jump shots, but his shooting rate was only average.
Anthony, who is guarding James in the West, did not show any weakness. He just got up with the little emperor on both ends of the offense and defense.
After playing another half quarter, James' personal data has reached 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, but the Eastern Stars are still lagging behind by double digits.
As Kobe Bryant came on the court, Lin Fei followed suit, and Flip Saunders directly chose to replace James.
James, who was replaced, was naturally dissatisfied, but it was difficult to show it.
Lin Fei and Billups partnered in the backcourt, and their chemistry was quite good.
Seeing that the Eastern team was in double digits, Lin Fei naturally had nothing to restrain himself. He started running on the off-ball end to receive an assist from Billups, and scored two consecutive three-pointers.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Immediately after Iverson made a pass error on the offensive end, Lin Fei completed a lightning steal, quickly distributed the ball to Billups during the counterattack fast break, and suddenly ran back and cut during the sideline follow-up.
He was one and a half lengths away from Kobe Bryant, received a pass from Billups, pulled the lever in the air to avoid Kobe's chasing block, and sent the ball into the basket with his backhand.
"Shh!"
The effect of Lin Fei's coming up was immediate, and he and James made a clear decision. The Eastern team quickly played a wave of 8:3, and the point difference was recovered to single digits.
"Did you see it? Lin immediately caught up with the score as soon as he came up. Look at LeBron again. Can't you understand the gap?"
"Billups is really easy to use. He completely outperformed Allen in terms of organization. He and Lin partnered in the backcourt. It feels more perfect than Stephon Marbury and Lin!"
On the court, Lin Fei naturally did not forget to lead his teammates, passing the ball to Eddie Curry on a breakthrough, and assisting the latter to dunk.
"Boom!"
Kobe was naturally inspired by Lin Fei to reach his strongest state. In an attack, he used a pick-and-roll to directly shoot a three-pointer from the outside. The three-pointer also hit the target.
"Shh!"
After halftime, driven by Lin Fei's 10 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in the second quarter, the Eastern Stars were only 5 points behind the Western Stars.
Eastern Stars (73): (79) Western Stars.
林飞上半场虽然只有15分4助攻2抢断进账,但15分依然是东部这边个人最高,詹姆斯的12分4篮板屈居第二。
The overall scoring of the Eastern Stars tends to be average, while for the Western Stars, the scoring is mainly concentrated on Kobe, Stoudemire and Anthony.
It can be seen that Kobe has the strongest fighting spirit, and Avery Johnson seems to be happy to reuse Kobe, but does not care about the statistics of his own players Nowitzki and Ginobili.
The two new All-Stars, Stoudemire and Anthony, also have the desire to compete for amvp.
As for the three veterans Tim Duncan, Garnett and Iverson, it seems that they have little desire for this All-Star Game. They are purely for health and positioning. Since Kobe wants to compete, let him give it to him. .
After all, all three of them have received amvp.
During the intermission, the performances were colorful, and the high-definition four-sided screen in the arena also broadcast the amvp winners of the All-Star Game in the past 10 years, as well as personal data performance.
1997, Eastern Stars, Glenn Rice, 26 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
1998, Eastern Star Team, Michael Jordan, 23 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.
In 1999, the lockout was not held.
2000, Western Conference Stars, Tim Duncan, 24 points and 14 rebounds.
In 2001, Eastern Star Team, Allen Iverson, 25 points, 5 assists and 4 steals.
2002, Western Conference Stars, Kobe Bryant, 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
2003, Western Conference Stars, Kevin Garnett, 37 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steals.
In 2004, Western Conference Stars, Shaquille O'Neal, 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.
In 2005, Eastern Star Team, Lin Fei, 30 points, 2 steals, 1 block, 100% shooting rate.
In 2006, Eastern Star Team, Dwayne Wade, 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
2007,? ? ?
Seeing the nine All-Star MVPs in the past 10 years, the fans at the scene also started talking with interest.
“我都忘了05年林拿amvp的比赛是9投全中,好像最后一节就拿到了15分吧?9次出手就能轰下30分,这是真的变态!”
"The NBA All-Star MVP is usually the player who scores the highest points for the winning team. This has been the case since the 90s, and Lin is the first exception. In 05, All-Star Allen Iverson scored 32 points. But we were still defeated by Lin’s 30 points!”
"Iverson, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, O'Neal, these guys have all won the All-Star MVP, but no one has been able to win the second time in the past ten years. It seems that tonight Kobe and Lin Everyone has a chance!"
"It's just an All-Star MVP award. It's purely an entertainment performance award. What's there to fight for? To be honest, it's not as valuable as three teams in a season!"
"You're right. Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson thought clearly. Nowitzki hasn't even won an AMVP, so why don't you still say he's indifferent?"
"King Nuo's goal is to be the MVP of the regular season! You can count all the stars who have achieved this honor in the entire history of the NBA on one hand, right?"
Before the start of the second half of the game, the top 10 stars of the past decade were selected at the end of last year, and the top 96 in history in 50 were merged into the top 60.
He also walked to the center of the court and was personally awarded a commemorative medal by league president David Stern. At the same time, the ten stars also took a group photo in the center of the stage.
In addition to being in tonight's All-Star game, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Allen Iverson and Lin, who directly wore the jersey. In addition to flying 6 people,
Dwayne Wade, who withdrew from the All-Star game due to injury, and Pacers legends Reggie Miller, Gary Payton and Dennis Rodman, who are also the commentators tonight,
The four of them also came on stage wearing suits for a group photo.
Seeing that Lin Fei was selected into the top 60 players at a young age, and he is the youngest among all the top 60 players, and he is also the only undrafted player.
LeBron James's eyes turned red when he saw it on the sidelines. That's called envy and jealousy!
At this time, the high-definition four-sided screen above the arena was also scrolling and playing the official clips of the career highlights of the top 10 stars.
As the 96 No. 50 pick in 92, he was selected into the 97 top picks in history. He even felt that he was too young to attend the Cleveland All-Star Award Ceremony.
At this time, Shaquille O'Neal was deeply moved when he saw Wade and Lin Fei calmly taking photos with the senior stars.
He only played in the league for more than 4 seasons before being selected into the top 50 in history. He had no mvp, no championship, no scoring champion, and even no best team.
It is legitimate to feel that you are too young to be decorated.
But now Wade and Lin Fei have only played in the league for more than three seasons, and are even more junior than he was at the time, but no one dares to think that these two guys are not worthy of being selected.
After all, Wade and Lin Fei are both top stars with at least two championships in their hands, and Wade already has the regular season MVP, and Lin Fei also has the finals MVP.
As the saying goes, times make heroes. At that time, O'Neal felt that the early stages of his career were already dreamy enough, but now the early stages of Lin Fei and Wade's NBA careers are far more dreamy than him.
It can even be said to have surpassed the first three seasons of Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan's careers.
The other star players from the East and West who were also standing on the sidelines were naturally envious of Lin Fei and Wade.
Anthony and Bosh in the same class, Dayao and Stoudemire, Eddie Curry earlier, and even veterans Steve Nash, Stephon Marbury, and Chauncey Billups Others also have expectations for the future of their careers.
如果在10年之后的2016年,甚至是15年之后的2021年,nba联盟届时对历史70大球星和75大球星重新评估和追加,他们到时候能有足够的荣誉去入选吗?
And now Lin Fei and Wade, who have become famous early in the league, what position will they rank in the history of the NBA?
