Chapter 704 Intense AMVP battle
The smoke of gunpowder on the trading deadline has not yet dissipated. That night, the opening ceremony of the All-Star Game has arrived.
Xie Hou and Yao Mai entered the gymnasium in suits and gold tie. While singing and dancing on the spot, the substitutes of the East and West star teams came out of the exit of the player corridor. Then it was the main player's turn to appear.
When the host introduced Yao Yu, he just raised his right hand to wave to the fans, and there was no too much entertainment. However, after the introduction, the five Westerners posed in a cool look, Yao Yu crossed his hands and hugged his chest, located in the center. In previous media comments, there were many praises for being adapted to the atmosphere of the All-Star weekend and learning to enjoy the All-Star weekend. But learning to enjoy does not necessarily mean learning to learn to entertain. Yao Yu still has a great step to become the "core" of the All-Star weekend. First, we must learn to entertain the public and entertain ourselves.
Several players from the East are familiar with each other. Xie Hou led the starting five players, including himself, to play, with James, Wade, Howard and Chris Paul standing beside him.
The starlight of this year's All-Stars is much dimmer than that of previous generations.
The Sharks missed the All-Star for the first time since entering the league. Western Conference power forward Garnett was absent due to a buttock injury, and Kobe was also troubled by injuries. Although he came to the scene, it still has to be said whether he can play the game.
The Eastern Conference is well-staffed and is expected to win another victory for the Eastern Conference Stars.
After the game started, many contrasts that were different from the regular season were revealed.
For example, Yao Yun, who eats, sleeps, fights monsters.
Yao Yu in the regular season made Howard so hard, but when he came to this stage, he was not as radiant as the "World Beast", but instead became a foil for others. Seeing Howard screaming so much that he was satisfied, this was still a normal category for All-Stars, but after taking the "Divine Beast" for the first time, he still couldn't bear to face. Howard was really aggressive, and Yao Yu was cut off by him in the backcourt.
Some people can see that Howard is making a frustrated statement about the fact that the king of dunks fell on Xie Hou's head.
Only 6% of the votes proved that he lost to Xie Hou. He couldn't say that Xie Hou had many fans and could win, so he had to concentrate on the official game.
Traditional inside players like Yao Xu are not good at playing in exhibition games. It would be good if he could dunk a few baskets, otherwise he wouldn't have said he would shoot a midfield three-pointer.
It is still a matter of whether there is a chance to shoot a midfield three-pointer. Howard's performance won the cheers of fans first.
After all, it is a sports insider, which is his natural advantage.
This cannot be blamed on Yao Yun, his competition style is not originally used for exhibition competitions.
In the West, Kobe was replaced after only two minutes.
There are rumors that his finger injury is particularly serious. If someone in the West had not withdrawn one after another, Kobe would not have come to New Orleans at all. Two minutes of playing would have only played symbolically. After the coach replaced him, he immediately changed into the appearance uniform and had no intention of playing again in the short term.
In the talented West, the players who stayed on the court were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were
The positioning of the five practical players in the All-Star Game is embarrassing.
Roy wants to show off, but Eastern stars don’t give face and guard against each other.
Xie Hou even caught up and gave a wonderful nail-board hat. When it was supposed to be a Western Star Show, he actually went from the Eastern Conference defensive show.
Fortunately, they still have a rebound advantage.
The three stars' inside players were not given for free, and they kept grabbing the lead in offensive rebounds.
Duncan and Yao Zhui each grabbed one, and Nowitzki grabbed two in a row, and relied on his height to easily get involved in the airspace of the Eastern Stars.
Roy and Nash really give face. They don’t waste time if they have offensive rebounds. If they make a change of direction, they will take action.
In the era of small balls, some fans may think that this style of play is very interesting. At this time, fans only think that they are passive and lazy and fool things.
When the others smashed the basket well, Yao Xu still showed his solid basic skills: he grabbed the frontcourt rebounds, but did not have passionate dunks, and the average basket-playing board was no different from the regular season. In another round, he received the ball at a low post, Yao Xu did not even show off his Shanghai dance steps, and directly jumped, but the ball went straight to the ring.
This is indeed not the stage for Yao Yun, and his acting skills are not even as good as his performance in the commercial. In less than 8 minutes of the first quarter, he was replaced with 4 points and 3 rebounds with another Duncan who was not good at performing.
The live commentator kept muttering that these were the two guys who were the least performing in the West.
They can't perform, and others may not necessarily perform.
Kobe, McGrady and others are not here, and the West lacks the talent that performers need. They can only try to create opportunities to attack the basket and see if there is a chance to dunk.
Xie Hou was very focused from defense to offense.
He didn't do it seriously, just wanted to create the most essence shots.
For example, the big hat on the nail board and the dunk in the counterattack, he doesn't care about the others.
The problem of similar jerseys has appeared repeatedly in subsequent games. Western stars lack talented players and rely on passing on offenses, but the similarity between the jerseys in the east and west is too high, and they repeatedly pass the ball to Eastern stars.
"Look, let them put on their jerseys in the next All-Star Game."
"Yes, at least I won't put the ball into the opponent's hands frequently."
In the second quarter, Xie Hou scored 8 points in a row after he came on the court, fought on the outside, dunked against the counterattack, and made a layup with three major levers in the position. Each hit the spot.
“Arthur can perform better than Yao.”
"Even Yao said that Arthur is not a typical Chinese. He has a performance-oriented personality and is a natural performer!"
"Look, the atmosphere on the scene is like yesterday's slam dunk contest final, and everyone's eyes are focused on him!"
Some people began to attack selfishly for the sake of amvp, and Xie Hou realized that both James and Anthony wanted that thing.
Anthony has never won the Amvp, while James is because Shehou won the Amvp twice in a row, and he wants to copy this record.
Anthony's idea was much simpler, he had never won, so he wanted to win one and see.
The increasingly selfish performance of Eastern stars gives Western stars an opportunity to take advantage of.
Mike D'Antoni had no choice but to accept the fact that they really couldn't praise them to perform.
Those who can perform are not there, and forcing this group of people to perform will only backfire.
Since the performance failed, based on the principle of not losing too badly, he said during the pause: "The West has lost to the East for several consecutive years. I know this is an exhibition match, but losing is not good after all. Let's cheer up and let them see our strength!"
Two people deeply understood D'Antoni's words.
One is Yao Zhun and the other is Duncan.
They understood the way of playing, all kinds of low-post attacks, and they played it out.
Who said that the traditional inside attacks are not entertaining? When Xie Hou was low to prevent Yao Yu from playing back, the performance and viewing were both effective.
Yao Gui showed off the Shanghai dance steps that he had not used for a long time.
In his rookie season, he scored the top ten goals of his career on Big Ben. Later, as he adapted more and more in the NBA, he developed a low-level turnover jump shot and a big hook that could be shot on both the left and right wings, so he used less footsteps in the inside.
The offensive pace at a low post is not suitable for everyone.
Those inside players with low center of gravity, good flexibility and many offensive methods are suitable for a variety of steps, while traditional giants like Yao Zhuo, who are slightly bulky, are more suitable for a straight back-to-head finishing technique.
For Xie Hou, Yao Gui's physique has the advantage of breaking down and shaking continuously at low positions, Xie Hou jumped around like a monkey.
Yao Yun found the feeling of entertaining people and dunked through Xie Hou's body with his back hand.
"Our own!" Xie Hou, who was locked up, shouted.
After hearing this, Yao Yu remembered the scene when he first met Xie Hou on the court. Xie Hou's dunk caused him a great loss. He also shouted this sentence at that time.
"If you need me as the background, I still have this kind of dedication." Xie Hou said righteously.
Yao Zhuo couldn't believe it: "You are that kind?"
"Nonsense, don't Chinese people help Chinese people?" Xie Hou finished slapping his chest and saying this, and then he turned to another place, "Of course, when I need to find someone to lock it up, I have to ask you to act."
Yao Gui shook his head and said familiarly: "Ce'na! You little red guy think about good things."
In terms of technical difficulty, Yao Gui hit Xie Hou with his back without any effort. Xie Hou dunked Yao Gui needs fate.
When fate comes, there is a chance.
If fate is not right, the one you hit against Yao Yu in the rookie season is the only time in your career.
Xie Hou had a group on the court, and Yao Ming gradually integrated into the all-star atmosphere. After Duncan's pass was touched out of bounds, the star on the sidelines picked up the ball and threw it to Yao Ming. Yao Ming played with it and brought the ball back.
Then, Yao Yun played more and more and showed off a three-pointer. The first time, the ball hit the basket and the second time, he actually made a three-pointer. This was his All-Star history, but unfortunately he didn't make any of it, but the effect of the performance had reached.
Yao Yun is indeed not good at performing. If he wants to achieve some effect, he has to fight against the big and small, and then show off his steps.
Xie Hou is very good at creating such opportunities, and the big and small fights happened continuously in the subsequent games.
Duncan saw that Yao Yu was effective in his back and was jealous, so he also wanted to play Xie Hou. The two of them had not yet melted in the finals. He would not want to miss the answer if he had the chance to teach Xie Hou a lesson - even if it was just the All-Star Game - he would not want to miss it.
The insiders in the Western Conference worked hard to improve the fun of the game, but the balance of the game always turned to the east.
In the fourth quarter, James and Anthony took action wildly to compete for MVP.
The competition between the two is becoming more and more exciting, and it is completely different from the competition between Kobe and Arenas last year.
The game lasted until the last moment, with the Eastern Stars defeating the Western Stars with a 26-point advantage.
The winner of amvp belongs to James.
His data are similar to Anthony, both 2646.
