Chapter 253 Shake hands and fight for victory? Crazy deals are coming!
In front of the courtside commentary desk, Mike Breen and Lightning Miller also pointed out the problems of the Eastern Stars.
"There is no doubt about LeBron's personal strength, but the offense and defense of the Eastern Stars are obviously not united enough, and the overall star quality of the Western Stars is too strong!"
"It seems that Flip Saunders must replace Lin as soon as possible. He is the biggest support for this Eastern Star team's reversal!"
"If the point difference is more than 15 points ahead by the Western Conference, it will be too difficult to reverse it!"
On the court, James singled out Anthony's pull-up jump shot again, but the offensive rebound was grabbed by Eddie Curry, who deflected Stoudemire's little hook shot.
"Shh!"
Eddie Curry refused to accept the arrogance of the "little bully". After scoring the goal, he gritted his teeth and responded coldly:
"Do you want to win the All-Star MVP? I'm afraid you are not qualified yet. Only Lin is worthy of the AMVP!"
Seeing Eddie Curry speak for his boss, Stoudemire said disdainfully:
"You should first think about how to narrow the point difference. If you can't win the game, how can you fight for amvp?"
Stoudemire, the "little bully" this season, is indeed very proud of himself. He has no longer paid attention to Yao, the No. 27 pick in the same year. He scored points tonight. Naturally, he wants to grab amvp to establish his own future in the league. The first insider's personality.
At the end of the game, Eddie Curry also scored 12 points and 6 rebounds tonight. As a substitute player selected for the All-Stars for the first time, this data is already quite good.
It's just that Marbury, the Knicks' other All-Star substitute, is not as lucky as Eddie Curry. The Eastern Conference point guard's playing time is basically divided between Billups and "The General".
Therefore, Marbury has only played 5 minutes so far and only scored 2 points and 2 assists.
It can be seen that whether it is the East or the West, the competition on the back line is far more intense than that on the inside.
However, Marbury, who has been selected to the All-Star for the third time, no longer has much enthusiasm for the All-Star. As a veteran, it is purely a formality and adds an honor to his career.
On the court, the Western Stars turned around and responded quickly. Parker used Duncan's pick-and-roll and broke through for two points after a mismatch.
"Shh!"
Immediately afterwards, "General" Arenas and James obviously had tactical differences. They did not want to give the ball to the opponent, but tried a three-point shot after getting rid of the outside line.
"Bang!"
The ball missed, and James, who rushed into the penalty area, failed to grab the rebound. Instead, he lost his position and completely let go of Anthony.
The rebound was grabbed by Duncan, and he passed a precise long pass directly to the hands of "Melon" who turned over quickly. The latter went directly into the smooth frontcourt and easily delivered a fast break dunk.
"Boom!"
Eastern Stars (115): (126) Western Stars.
The point difference has been widened to 11 points.
On the timer, there are still 7 minutes and 02 seconds left before the end of the fourth quarter.
Flip Saunders took the lead in calling a timeout, preparing to replace Lin Fei and Billups again.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Eastern Stars were able to stabilize the situation and successfully narrow the point difference when Lin Fei was on the court.
In addition to Lin Fei's powerful offensive and intimidating power, Billups also plays a very important organizational role at point guard.
With brains, organization, defense, three-pointers, and the physical advantage in the No. 1 position, Billups has become one of the best point guards in the new era of NBA.
In Lin Fei's view, Chris Paul and Deron Williams have not yet emerged in the league, and Jason Kidd has begun to break down again.
Therefore, Chauncey Billups can definitely be regarded as one of the top three point guards in the league. His dominance is second only to Nash and slightly higher than Tony Parker.
What's more, among the top point guards currently in service, Billups, who was born as the third overall pick, also surpassed many strong opponents in the draft, second only to Jason Kidd as the second overall pick.
Being able to be selected in the top three picks at No. 1 is enough to prove Billups' talent and ceiling.
In his previous life, Chauncey Billups, despite having a championship and Finals MVP, was still not inducted into the Hall of Fame and was hailed as the legacy of the Hall of Fame. This also made Lin Fei feel unfair.
In today's parallel world, due to the emergence of Lin Fei, the Detroit Pistons did not win the championship in 04, and Billups' personal credit book is even more thin.
But everything is possible in the future. With Lin Fei's butterfly effect, Billups may not be traded to the Nuggets, and may even have the opportunity to join forces with him.
Pause and come back,
Phillip Sanders replaced the General and Hamilton with Lin Fei and Billups, and then replaced O'Neill with Bosh, keeping James and Eddie Curry on the court.
The Eastern Stars have only two centers selected this year. Since the old Shark is just going through the motions and unwilling to play more, it is naturally cheaper for Eddie Curry to have more playing time.
Dwight Howard, the new head coach of the Magic, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, saw Eddie Curry on the court with many star seniors.
The envy and jealousy in my heart was overwhelming.
You must know that in the 07 All-Star Game in the original world, Dwight Howard was the backup center in the Eastern Conference. He was also reused by Flip Saunders. He scored the second-highest score in the Eastern Conference with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Second to LeBron James’ 28 points.
Now that the All-Star opportunity has been snatched away by Eddie Curry, Howard can only lament that he is not in the New York Knicks, is not teammates with Lin, and does not have a top boss to help him.
The top five lineups for the Eastern Conference Stars again are:
Chauncey Billups, Lin Fei, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Eddie Curry.
The Western Stars also made adjustments. Even though they were leading by 11 points, Avery Johnson did not dare to push the envelope and re-employed the backcourt combination of Kobe and Iverson.
Lin Fei is on the court, and Kobe is naturally going to follow suit. Tonight, the two of them will play a peak shooting guard matchup.
Although defending Lin Fei cost Kobe a lot of energy, and he couldn't compare with Stoudemire in terms of scoring, amvp is far less important to Kobe than winning the game.
Back from the timeout, the top five stars on the Western Conference team are:
Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett and Dayao.
Stoudemire, who was replaced by Avery Johnson and was eager to score points and win AMVP, was naturally unhappy. He had already scored 28 points and 8 rebounds tonight, but Kobe and Anthony scored 18 points respectively. With 20 points in hand, it is very possible to achieve a lead in one wave.
But he did have enough playing time tonight. As a substitute in the Western Conference, he played 23 minutes, which is higher than the starters.
On the bench of the Western Conference Stars, Tim Duncan's eyes were rounded, thoughtful.
Playing in the All-Star Game no longer holds any appeal for him. This season, the Spurs' record has been squeezed to fourth place in the Western Conference by the Mavericks, Suns and Timberwolves, and is currently only one win ahead of the Jazz behind them.
If you want to compete for the championship, it can be described as internal and external troubles.
Although Bobo is actively operating, Tim Duncan has not heard any good news about the transaction, and tomorrow is the trade deadline for the league's new season.
The biggest goal of the Spurs management is to acquire Vince Carter or even Tracy McGrady of the Rockets through trade.
Although the Nets and Rockets, who are determined to rebuild, have put these two shooting guards on the shelves, the Spurs' current seriously aging lineup configuration, if they want to get one of Carter and Tracy McGrady,
Unless Parker is used as the main body to trade, there is no feasibility at all.
And even if Carter and Tracy McGrady are really traded, Duncan doesn't think they will be better than Ginobili.
At this time, Parker and Ginobili sat on both sides of Duncan. Although the three brothers are no longer on the same team, they still have a good relationship with each other.
On the court, Lin Fei came up and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Eddie Curry, accelerating to break through the basket, attracting Garnett's cover, and accurately passing the ball to Eddie Curry.
However, Dayao's side made up for it in time. Eddie Curry's leaping dunk was interfered with and missed the frame.
James once again flew up to grab an offensive rebound and deflected Anthony's tip-in.
"Shh!"
With the hit, James' personal score tonight quickly reached 27 points, tying Lin Fei and tied for the highest in the Eastern Conference.
"LeBron has already scored 27 points and 9 rebounds, while Lin has 27 points and 7 assists. In comparison, if the Eastern Conference can reverse the game, the little emperor's advantage in winning AMVP seems to be more obvious! "
"LeBron's 27 points took 21 shots, while Lin's 27 points only took 11 shots. In terms of shooting percentage, Lin crushed the little emperor!"
In a luxurious box on the roof of the stadium, Phil Knight, chairman of Nike Group, sat on a leather sofa and watched the game from a high position.
Letting James play the entire final quarter is naturally part of Nike's manipulation of the league, in order to allow James to win the All-Star MVP.
If the Eastern Conference loses, then AMVP will naturally be produced in the Western Conference. Then James does not need to get this award, but Lin Fei does not get it either, which is also acceptable to Nike.
With Lin Fei's great success in the Knicks this season, his popularity and commercial value have soared rapidly, already surpassing James several times.
The sales of several generations of Antares basketball shoes endorsed by Lin Fei have completely surpassed James's Nike series, and even have the capital to compete with Jordan's AJ series in terms of sales.
Anta basketball shoes have no way to compete with Nike in terms of quality and technology, and Lin Fei is a crucial factor in why they sell so well.
At present, the only person Nike can use to suppress Lin Fei is LeBron James. Although this guy is not up to par, he is still his prince after all, and he cannot give up on his own.
On the court, the Western Conference Stars attacked. Kobe and Dayao were in the high post pick-and-roll. They quickly got rid of Lin Fei in a misplaced position and made a decisive move with an elegant jump shot from the limit.
"Shh!"
The basketball bounced on the rim a few times and fell steadily into the net.
"Lin, I have no interest in amvp anymore, but in this game tonight, the Western Conference must win!"
Faced with Kobe's cold provocation, Lin Fei was not to be outdone. When he came to the offensive end, he motioned for his teammates to open up space and used all his skills to continuously change the direction of the dribble.
Finally, he saw the slight loss of position caused by Kobe's risky steal. He moved one step laterally and jumped decisively. He bent his bow and shot with lightning.
The basketball shot across the sky like a shooting star and hit the net directly.
"Shh!"
But with the Dragon City flying general here, is this three-pointer handsome?
As Lin Fei hit his seventh three-pointer tonight, his personal score also reached 7 points.
"Corvo, I'm very sorry, you fell into the trap again. It's not that easy to steal me!"
Lin Fei, who landed gracefully on the ground, took two steps back, spread his hands towards Kobe who was gritting his teeth, and then put the fingers of his right hand to his mouth, posing as if he was blowing a pistol.
There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and tens of thousands of fans outside the arena also waved their arms following Lin Fei's three-pointer.
"Lin is still strong. When he faced off against Kobe, I felt that he was as good as he was on both offense and defense. He was even better!"
"Lin is already as good as Kobe in defense, organization and breakthrough, and his three-point shooting is even more impressive than the Black Mamba. His only weakness is rebounding and mid-range jump shots!"
“Why two points when you can shoot a three-pointer?”
Looking back, Kobe was obviously competing with Lin Fei, asking Iverson for the ball and planning to give one in return.
But Iverson was not used to Kobe's stubborn temper. Facing Billups, he directly made a classic double crossover change of direction, and also made a pull-up jump shot after leaving the space.
"Shh!"
When the ball was transferred, Billups also took advantage of his own advantages. Through his height and strength, he pushed away Iverson and then shot a mid-range jumper.
"Bang!"
However, the ball missed the target and was scrambled under the basket.
The defensive rebound was protected by Garnett and was immediately given to Kobe, who was rushing forward. Lin Fei also turned around and chased after him.
Kobe dribbled the ball to the three-point line, feeling Lin Fei's fierce pursuit behind him. He suddenly stopped and moved laterally, directly throwing Lin Fei in front of him, and made a pull-up jumper to steadily send the ball into the basket.
"Shh!"
"Lin, I said, victory must belong to us!"
Seeing the tension between Lin Fei and Kobe getting stronger, the fans at the scene also started to clamor, looking forward to the exciting showdown in the last few minutes of the All-Star game.
Eastern Stars (122): (134) Western Stars.
With Kobe Bryant's fast-break jumper, the point difference was widened to 12 points. In the face of the strong overall strength of the Western Conference Stars, Lin Fei's appearance in the final quarter did not play a decisive role.
"In the last five minutes of the final quarter, if the Eastern Stars want to reverse course, they must seize the opportunity as soon as possible, otherwise it will become increasingly difficult!"
"Kobe has now scored 22 points, and Stoudemire, who scored the highest personal score in the Western Conference Stars, is still sitting on the bench. It seems that the competition for AMVP tonight is still very fierce!"
During the commentary, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Lin Fei first relied on his shooting deterrence to break through Kobe and enter the penalty area. Facing double-teaming and assisting Chris Bosh, he dunked successfully.
Then he stole Kobe Bryant's ball on defense, counterattacked James, who was flying down the fast break with a long pass, and assisted the latter to easily complete a dunk from the free throw line in the fast break.
"Boom!"
James's quick choice this time was very good. Lin Fei would not be so stingy as not to pass the ball to the opponent just for an amvp.
And James, who received a pass from Lin Fei for the first time, had to sigh that Lin Fei's long pass was of such a high standard, and his fast break rhythm after receiving the ball comfortably was not ruined at all.
The Eastern Stars blasted a 4:0 wave, quickly chasing the point difference to 8 points.
At the critical moment, Lin Fei and James also united because everyone knew that if they want to win amvp, they must first win the game.
Kobe Bryant, who was intercepted by Lin Fei at a critical moment, was naturally unwilling to accept the ball. He took the ball directly from the baseline with his jersey in his mouth, brought it all the way to the front court, and tried another outside three-pointer with the help of a screen from Dayao.
"Shh!"
Kobe also hit this three-pointer, and his personal score has reached 25 points.
Seeing that his 28 points were about to be overtaken by Kobe, Stoudemire on the bench of the Western Stars could not sit still.
He stood up and walked to coach Avery Johnson to ask for help, planning to play again during dead ball time.
Mavericks coach Avery Johnson has no grudges against these stars, so he naturally hopes to settle things evenly and is happy to give the "little bully" a favor.
Watching him compete with Kobe for amvp would make this All-Star game more exciting in the last few minutes.
Even from the coach's perspective, Stoudemire did play the best in the team tonight, with a great touch and a shooting percentage of more than 80%, which was even higher than Lin Fei.
On the court, Lin Fei faced Kobe Bryant with the ball at the top of the arc, and James also took the initiative to step up and set Lin Fei up as a pick-and-roll.
Under the restraint of James, Lin Fei used the screen to move laterally and was not double-teamed. So facing Anthony, who was changing defense, he stepped back and shot a three-pointer directly.
No matter how serious Anthony's defense is, there is no way he can compare with Kobe. Lin Fei can easily hit Anthony in singles.
"Shh!"
The basketball flew over Anthony's head, accurately hitting the net and splashing water.
"Beep!"
Anthony's defense on this ball also clearly violated Lin Fei's shooting cylinder. The referee's whistle sounded and it was directly awarded 3+1.
For the Western Stars on the sidelines, Avery also chose to replace Stoudemire and Nash during this dead ball time, replacing Iverson and Dayao.
Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, took the initiative to high-five James who was setting a pick-and-roll for him, and the commentators on the sidelines also became excited.
"LeBron and Lin also united for victory at the last moment. It seems that the Eastern Conference Stars really have a chance to turn around!"
"The pick-and-roll between Lin and LeBron has made fans long for the two superstars to join forces. I wonder if these two talented players will have the opportunity to become teammates in the future!"
"Haha, the two-year collaboration between Lin and Dwayne can be described as a win-win situation. Two fourth-year players have been selected into the top 60 in history. It seems that LeBron James, the No. pick, is also jealous!"
"Shh!"
Lin Fei, who stepped to the free throw line, made an additional free throw and scored 4 points successfully.
The Eastern Stars successfully chased the point difference to 7 points.
Although he took the initiative to add to Lin Fei's personal score, James was happy to reciprocate the favor.
After all, as a professional player, who can feel at ease to undermine the unity of the team and even ruin the victory of the game for the sake of personal honor?
Seeing that the time on the timer has reached the last three minutes, James's adrenaline is soaring and he has already regarded winning as his first goal.
After all, compared with Lin Fei's competition for AMVP, what he can't stand even more is Kobe's arrogance and arrogance, and Stoudemire's villainy.
One thing that James never wanted to admit in his heart was that he seemed to be keen on playing with Lin Fei, because this guy's restraint was too great.
Now the little emperor truly understands who took advantage of whom between Wade and Lin Fei during the Heat's two consecutive championships.
On the court, the Western Stars' offense was always strong. The newly arrived Stoudemire and his old partner Nash set up a high pick-and-roll, followed Shi's pass, and jumped up to dunk.
On this shot, Stoudemire successfully hoisted Bosh to the outside, and the "Wolf King" also blocked Eddie Curry.
At this moment, Stoudemire almost couldn't help shouting happily: "All-Star MVP, I'm here!"
However, the moment "Little Bully" Stoudemire dunked the basketball into the basket,
In the diagonal thrust, a strong figure suddenly jumped up. The strong body was like a tank, but the explosive power was like a shooting star.
"Snapped!"
LeBron James roared, and his mountain-like palm suddenly fell down, hitting the basketball that Stoudemire was about to dunk into the basket.
"Boom!"
The terrifying power made Stoudemire instantly feel the crisis. Under the severe pain in his arm, he was knocked to the ground by the little emperor even while dribbling the ball.
"boom!"
In a flash of lightning, the basketball fell from Stoudemire's body, which fell to the ground, and Lin Fei, who had quick eyes and quick hands, bent down and picked it up.
"Whoosh!"
After Lin Fei controlled the ball, he turned around and dribbled away. He shook off Kobe's first tackle and accelerated forward with the ball.
The Eastern Stars' counterattack was overwhelming. James, who had completed the shocking blood cap, did not stop after landing, and Billups followed up with Lin Fei in two ways.
Kobe gritted his teeth and pursued Lin Fei, while Nash and Anthony followed Billups and James respectively.
Stoudemire, who was knocked to the ground, also wanted to jump up and defend, but the pain from his back made his face turn purple.
Lin Fei stepped on the accelerator and drove the ball straight to the frontcourt. He stopped outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and got rid of Kobe. However, Kobe's brakes were also very quick and he always stayed around Lin Fei.
Lin Fei took advantage of the opportunity and made a realistic prayer to attract Kobe's counterattack. He changed direction and broke through the penalty area again. He stopped and rushed to the basket. He watched Kobe flying to catch up.
With his peripheral vision sweeping across the backcourt, he realized that James had thrown away the pursuing Anthony and pounced on him. He threw the basketball in his hand directly towards the steel backboard above his head.
"boom!"
The basketball bounced off the steel backboard and flew over Kobe's head. James, who followed up with a meteoric stride, caught it firmly. He jumped up unstoppably and roared with a tomahawk dunk.
"Boom!"
The entire basket and basketball stand trembled at this moment. Everyone on the scene was stunned by the wonderful cooperation between Lin Fei and James in this fast break.
What is a classic? This is a classic!
Forever indelible!
There are grudges, selfishness, competition, passion, and pure love for basketball and NBA!
On the bench of the Eastern Stars, Vince Carter and several other substitute stars couldn't help but jump up excitedly at this moment, waving towels and fists fiercely.
"Lin, great job!"
"LeBron, great job!"
However, at this moment, a black fan sitting in the front row behind him, who was also Vince Carter's agent who came to watch the game, suddenly excitedly patted Carter on the shoulder and couldn't help shouting:
"Vince, good news, just a minute ago, you were officially traded to the San Antonio Spurs!"
The excited Carter was stunned for a moment, feeling that he heard something wrong.
Is the NBA really so crazy this season?
