Halfway through the first quarter, Jiang Dongbing called a timeout.

Of course, this timeout is not to arrange any tactics or make some jokes. In the All-Star Game, which head coach would be so full that he would arrange tactics on the spot. Even if there are any tactics, they have been arranged before the game.

For example, if there are many fast break players in your own lineup, then use fast break. If there are many players in positional warfare, then use positional warfare. These are just some general tactics.

Jiang Dongbing called this timeout mainly to make substitutions. Although the players on the field are all starters, it is impossible for them to play for as long as they do in the regular season or playoffs.

Generally, coaches have an unwritten unspoken rule in controlling the playing time of All-Star players, that is, the playing time of starting players is about thirty minutes, which may be more or less, depending on the coach's personality.

As for the substitute players, they should also try to give them about twenty minutes of playing time, and try to keep the rain and dew evenly distributed, so that these substitute players cannot feel that they have been left out.

After all, even the substitute players are actually selected by the fans one by one. Some of them are extremely popular stars like Duncan or Kobe. It is impossible for them to play only three to five minutes.

O'Neal, Garnett, and Kidd were taken off the court, but Jackson and Billups remained on the court. Then Jiang Dongbing made a big move and directly replaced David, Kirilenko, and O'Brien.

As soon as this lineup was put out, the fans at the scene immediately became excited.

Jiang Dongbing was causing trouble. He only played half of the game in the first quarter. Jiang Dongbing actually sent all five of his players onto the court. All five players on the court for the Western Conference All-Stars were Grizzlies players!

If Jiang Dongbing had used the Grizzlies' five tiger players to appear on the field mechanically, there would definitely be criticism. However, the five Grizzlies players on the court are extremely harmonious and not mechanically applied at all. Even during the regular season, Jiang Dongbing sent out such a lineup more than once.

With point guard Billups, shooting guard Jackson, small forward Kirilenko, power forward O'Brien and center David, no one can find fault with such a lineup.

Just looking at such a lineup is enough to see how terrifying the Grizzlies are.

They were able to put together a complete lineup for the All-Star Game. This is an All-Star!

Under the excitement of the scene, countless fans cheered loudly. Being able to witness the birth of such a miracle with their own eyes means that their fan career can be regarded as regretless.

Five All-Star players come from the same team at the same time and appear in the NBA games at the same time. This is undoubtedly the most miraculous thing in the history of the NBA, and it can also be said to be unprecedented. In the future, I am afraid that only Jiang Dongbing will

Only a team can replicate such a miracle.

After playing on the court for two minutes, Jiang Dongbing did not continue to cause trouble? Kirilenko and Ou were replaced? Duncan and Kobe were replaced.

The reason why Jiang Dongbing replaced the Grizzlies Five just now? It was naturally because he had a bad taste in his heart. After all, he had five players selected for the All-Stars. Wouldn't it be a big waste not to let them appear at the same time?

Now that he has also appeared on the stage at the same time, Jiang Dongbing satisfied his bad taste and began to act as the head coach of his Western team in a regular manner.

With a few minutes left in the first quarter, Jiang Dongbing made another substitution. Although he wanted Jackson to play more time, there had to be a limit to this matter? What if it was too much more than the other starters?

That would be too ugly.

So Jiang Dongbing simply gave Kidd a lot of playing time, even more than Jackson. Kidd didn't attack much anyway? The possibility of him threatening Jackson to win the MVP is slim.

If someone really wants to find fault at that time? Jiang Dongbing can also find an excuse to excuse himself. After all, Kidd is the one who plays the most time? It's not his players...

After the first half of the game, the Western team was already leading by nearly ten points. Jackson had already scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in the half. If this performance can continue in the second half, he will win tonight.

Winning the MVP award is almost a sure thing.

Jiang Dongbing remembered that this year's All-Star MVP was actually shared between Duncan and O'Neal, and Jiang Dongbing also remembered that this year's MVP selection was very unpopular. At least Garnett fans were very dissatisfied with the result.

Of course, Duncan is the undisputed best performer in terms of statistics. He scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists with a super high shooting rate of 85.7%. He is definitely the undisputed MVP.

Garnett fans were dissatisfied because O'Neal and Duncan shared the MVP, not because Garnett had better statistics than O'Neal...

Garnett took 19 shots and scored 24 points, O'Neal took 20 shots and scored 22 points, and Garnett had more rebounds than O'Neal, so purely based on the data, Garnett is more qualified to share the MVP with O'Neal anyway.

.

However, the MVP is also selected by the media. O'Neal's popularity is so high, that is to say, Duncan's data cannot be faulted. Even if Duncan's data is the same as O'Neal, then I am afraid that there will not be a situation where the MVP will be shared this year, and O'Neal will be alone.

Take it.

Jiang Dongbing knows very well that this situation will definitely not happen this year, because Jiang Dongbing cannot let others steal Jackson's limelight.

Duncan's interest on the court was not very high. Although Garnett was very interested, he did not have many chances to take shots. As for O'Neal, he had neither interest nor chances to take shots...

Jackson became more and more excited as he played, with full firepower, leading the Western team to gradually gain a solid advantage, and the All-Star MVP was gradually beckoning towards Jackson.

Jiang Dongbing actually knows very well that these two years may be the peak period of Jackson's career, because now Jackson has completely reached his limit and there will be no room for improvement in the future.

Now Jackson has a lot of extremely powerful opponents around him to help him compete for those ultra-high-gold honors that actually did not belong to him. If one day the Grizzlies are in decline, or Jackson leaves the Grizzlies, then Jackson

He is definitely still one of the top small forwards in the league, but his position as the number one player may be lost to others.

In fact, a situation like Jackson's is probably the fundamental reason why the league will become a team in the future. As the saying goes, it is difficult for two fists to beat four hands. A player is very powerful, but he can't beat two powerful players. All kinds of honors will definitely be beaten by others.

Take it away, so teaming up becomes their best way to improve their historical status and alliance status.

"Jiang, are you going too far?" O'Neal, who had been sulking, suddenly fired at Jiang Dongbing on the bench.

He was extremely depressed during the game. He originally planned to come to the All-Star Weekend to relax and win the MVP. However, looking at his current situation, not only was he not relaxed, but he would definitely not be able to win the MVP.

Jiang Dongbing's expression changed instantly. O'Neal's words were a little too "bullying".

If Jiang Dongbing used small means to target O'Neal tonight, then Jiang Dongbing might just laugh it off when O'Neal said this.

But now Jiang Dongbing's methods are useless, giving O'Neal more than enough playing time, even if not as much as Jackson, but still more than any starting player in the Eastern Conference.

There were no tactics deployed on the court to restrict O'Neal from racking up statistics. Now O'Neal was blaming himself in front of half of the league's stars. How could Jiang Dongbing endure it?

"Shaq, what did you say?" Jiang Dongbing turned to look at O'Neal fiercely and asked coldly.

"I said you went too far. I know you just want Stephen to win the MVP!"

"But you have to know your current identity. You are the head coach of our Western Conference All-Star team, not the head coach of the Grizzlies. It's really ugly for you to favor the Grizzlies players like this!" O'Neal was not to be outdone, and joked.

Neck and Jiang Dongbing started shouting.

Jiang Dongbing's face twitched. If he hadn't been unable to defeat O'Neal, he might have given O'Neal a lightning whip.

"Shaq, has anyone ever said that you are like a giant baby that only cries and whines?"

"Do you have less playing time? More than Allen Iverson, the top vote-getter in the Eastern Conference, right? You're not even the top vote-getter in our Western Conference, so why should I give you the most playing time?"

"In addition, how do you know that I favor the Grizzlies players? The one who played the most time is Kidd, not our Grizzlies player. The one who played the least time is Kirilenko. He only has two minutes. That is our Grizzlies player."

Bear players.”

"Didn't your math teacher even teach you the most basic arithmetic?"

"You have a lot of objections to me coaching the Western Team. Then ask other people if they have any objections?" Jiang Dongbing asked with a sneer.

The repeated questioning left O'Neal speechless. He immediately looked at the players around him, trying to find an ally who could help him strengthen his momentum.

As a result, everyone on the bench either turned their eyes in other directions, as if they were not listening to what was going on outside the window, or the Grizzlies players on the bench looked at O'Neal angrily, looking at that posture that might happen in the next second.

Join hands and beat O'Neal up.

How could the other players care about such nonsense? They came to play in the All-Star Game, not to enmity with Jiang Dongbing.

In this day and age, are there any benefits to enmity with Jiang Dongbing? There are definitely no benefits at all, and there may even be great harm.

The entire league is sparing no effort to establish a good relationship with Jiang Dongbing and prepare Jiang Dongbing to send warmth to them again in the future. This is the route set by the top management of each team, and the players also know Jiang Dongbing's ability in this regard.

All-stars like these here, who want to be just a salted fish throughout their careers, and who don’t want to taste the taste of winning the championship, so they are extremely thirsty for strong teammates. If they have a good relationship with Jiang Dongbing, Jiang Dongbing may give him one someday.

Warmth was sent to their heads.

Interestingly, among the twelve All-Star players in the Western Conference, except for the Grizzlies players, none of them has won a championship...

Even if they are Grizzlies players, not all players have championship rings, at least David and Kirilenko do not.

Therefore, O'Neal's look for help did not get any support at all. No one wanted to wade into this muddy water and cause trouble for himself or his team.

Jiang Dongbing snorted coldly and stopped talking to O'Neal. Since O'Neal has said such things, he will not appear again for the rest of the night.

The media also noticed that on the bench of the Western Team, it seemed that O'Neal and Jiang Dongbing had some disputes. However, they did not know the cause of the dispute and could only wait until the game was over to investigate in detail.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game. The Western team won the Eastern All-Star team with 122 points to 113 points. This result was not unexpected, because just looking at the lineups of both sides, it was obvious that the Western team was stronger.

Come together.

After the game, media voting has begun backstage to compete for the MVP of tonight's All-Star Game.

In fact, there is no suspense about this MVP. Jackson himself is the top vote-getter for this All-Star. 20% of the voting media are Canadian media, so Jackson has a great advantage in media selection.

Secondly, Jackson's statistics tonight are well-deserved to be the best in the game. 33 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block are definitely the best statistics in the game. No one in the Western Conference can match it.

Even in the Eastern Conference, no one can match Jackson. Iverson is the best player in the Eastern Conference, but he only scored 26 points.

O'Neal was quite miserable tonight, only scoring 7 points and 5 rebounds. No matter how popular he was, he definitely had no hope of sharing the MVP with Jackson.

After a while, the results of the media selection came out, and Jackson indeed succeeded and became the MVP of this year's All-Star Game.

After learning that he had won another MVP, Jackson rushed to Jiang Dongbing, gave him a big hug, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, coach!"

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't even know if I would be playing in the NBA right now."

"Coach, you saved my career and my life!"

The gratitude in Jackson's heart now cannot be overemphasized. As the Grizzlies become more and more invincible, Jackson's heart becomes more and more happy and grateful. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Jiang Dongbing at Butler Community College. Otherwise, he can now

Get MVP?

When I first went to Butler College, it was definitely a low point in my career. No NCAA team was willing to accept me. According to my plan at the time, I would hang out at Butler for a year and then directly participate in the draft.

In this case, let alone being selected or not, even if he is selected, he will definitely be at the bottom of the second round. How can he be reused by the team? After wasting the first few years of his career, how can he achieve something like today?

Achievement!

In Jackson's mind, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Dongbing is his reborn parent.

"Okay, he's just an All-Star MVP. He's so excited that people think we Grizzlies players have never seen the world."

"Calm down and try to get you another Finals MVP this year. Let's have a Grand Slam and go straight to the top of our lives!" Jiang Dongbing smiled at Jackson in a low voice.

Jackson nodded repeatedly. In fact, he had a great chance to compete for the Finals MVP last season, but he gave up this opportunity just to get David by his side.
Chapter completed!
