160. Help the MVP
(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
After the first quarter, the Western Army gained a small lead with 38:32. In the last two and a half points, the Eastern Army only relied on Pierce's two free throws to score one point. Chamberlain guarded the inside and had a huge threat. The Eastern Army did not encounter a good opportunity to dunk again.
Chamberlain did not get another chance to play in the second quarter. Western stars shone, and twelve people were waiting to play. Chamberlain was the youngest rookie, with the least experienced and the youngest. Although he was very popular, the Zen master obviously would not care about this. After he made him perform for a while in the first quarter, he pressed him on the bench.
Kobe is also on the bench. This All-Star may be the lowest-key class for Black Mamba. He scored 4 points and 1 rebound in six minutes. Kobe originally did not plan to participate in the All-Star. He had to undergo surgery on his finger, but the fans refused. It is said that Stern called him on purpose and asked him to go up and play a supporting role.
For a fierce man like Kobe, it is an insult to let him play a supporting role in the game. As long as he stands on the court, he is a paranoid fighter. The appearance of every strong enemy will inspire the fighting spirit deep in his bloodline, allowing him to do his best to treat every minute and every second.
During the six minutes of the first quarter, Kobe made six shots, almost every minute, but because of the injury of the index finger, his hit rate was indeed poor. The Zen master obviously didn't want to see his disciple being tortured so much, so he replaced him early and let him rest on the bench.
Phil Jackson was very dissatisfied with this All-Star. Kobe's quit surgery was his suggestion, and he would let Black Mamba take a break. Kobe was too tired when Gasol didn't come. But Stern did not let him go for the marketization of the NBA. In this way, Kobe could only undergo surgery tomorrow, and the quit would inevitably affect the Lakers' record.
The Western Conference is now anxious. Although the Lakers are the first, the Hornets are eyeing them behind them. The Spurs and the Mavericks are ranked third and fourth, with the first and second. The Rockets and Warriors are also closely behind, from second to sixth. The difference in winning games is halftime, one game or the other, and someone will be killed if you are accidentally killed.
Therefore, the Zen master is now very nervous, and he is operating in exchange for Gasol, not for the second place.
Although Kobe was sitting on the bench, he kept looking at Chamberlain. Chamberlain knew that the former wanted to poach him, but he didn't want to go to the Lakers. He was very happy with the Warriors and his home was in San Francisco. Why did he go to Los Angeles? For the sake of beauty, he didn't lack beauty.
After the start of the second quarter, Kidd led the East to score again. Howard received an aerial dunk from the old demon at the basket. Kidd then planned a triangle attack. Finally, James rushed into the middle and violent dunk. In the West, the young heroes were not willing to fall behind. Roy and Paul frequently instigated the Western inside attack. Duncan, Sir Jr. and Nowitzki took turns to attack their opponents in the penalty area.
However, the outside shooter group in the East began to exert force, Joe Johnson and Ray Allen exerted three-point firepower, and Gentleman Ray showed his former first shooter in the league. Although he was the last All-Star selected in this year, his ability is by no means the worst.
After four minutes in the second quarter, Lei Allen suddenly broke out. He first ran outside the three-point line in the bottom corner. James passed the ball, and Junzi Lei took the ball and hit the ball hollow.
Immediately afterwards, Duncan missed Joe Johnson in the Western Conference's rebound by shooting. He broke through alone and passed the ball to Junzi Lei after encountering Sir's defense. The latter flew and pulled out of the three-point line with a fake shot, jumped up again, and scored another three-pointer.
The performance was not over yet. Roy broke through the basket and scored two points. James served the ball quickly to Kidd. Ray Allen and him were on the fast break. After Kidd arrived at the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Junzi Lei. After the latter got the ball, he jumped without stopping his body and still hit!
The atmosphere in the stadium began to become popular, and there were endless exclamations. Chamberlain couldn't help but applaud Junzi Lei. This guy really had a trick, it was too fierce.
After the subsequent attack and defense, Roy pressed against Gentlemen Lei. Although it was an All-Star Game, you can't be too arrogant. But Gentlemen Lei's touch was coming, how could it be blocked so easily? The subsequent attack he ran out of the three-point line with Bosh's cover. Kidd was looking for Ray Allen, and he did not hesitate to pass the ball again.
Junzi Lei jumped out of the three-point line again, and hit another three-pointer!
The stadium seemed to have become a volcanic explosion site. Although Chamberlain and the Celtics were in a bad relationship, they couldn't help but stand up and cheer for Ray Allen. The gentleman Lei smiled gracefully, and he waved around, putting a perfect end to his twelve points in a row.
Relying on Ray Allen's fierce attack, the East again gained a lead. Of course, the Western heroes were unwilling to be killed just like this. In the middle of the second quarter, Roy scored consecutively to lead the West to chase points. Anthony, who was newly on the court, was also a accurate shooter. A group of young people performed invincible youth in front of the veterans in the East. The game was close to 56-58 at 7 minutes and 35 seconds, so the game was paused again.
Billups got the chance to play, leading Duncan, Yao Ming, Anthony and Roy to play together, and Howard + James + Butler + Wade + Hamilton in the east.
As soon as he got on the court, James made a touchdown three-pointer, and the East launched another shock wave. James and Howard were each other and sent out an alley relay dunk one after another. Although Duncan also responded to a "violent man"-style powerful slam dunk, the West could not compete with the strength of the East. After the Little Emperor and Hamilton hit three-pointers one after another, the East established a double-digit advantage 72-62 at 27 seconds.
In the end, the East ended the half-time game with a 10-point lead. Chamberlain failed to play for a minute in the second quarter. He sat on the bench and held his chin to watch the game. After the whole first half, the best performance was the East's Little Emperor. He scored a total of 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. If he continued to play at this pace, then the All-Star MVP would be his run away.
The best player in the West is Roy, who is also a rookie. He scored 18 points, 2 assists and 2 steals. The host Paul is also strong, with 12 points. However, what is surprising is that Billups, who did not show off all the way, actually scored 10 points and the most 6 assists in the West.
During the half, Chamberlain and others were preparing to return to the locker room, while a lift was raised on the venue, and the show started again.
At this moment, someone suddenly pulled Chamberlain strongly. The latter was almost knocked down by someone. He turned around with a little depressed depression, but saw Billups behind him staring at him in surprise. As soon as he turned around, he screamed: "Damn it, you kid really have an affair with that beautiful girl Taylor Swift?"
Chamberlain blinked blankly, and then a graceful and elegant music sounded, followed by an ethereal and moving voice came into his ears:
“we-were-wave ng-when-i-first-saw-wave (we were all young when I first saw you),
i-clo color-my-eyes-and-the-flashback-starts (I closed my eyes, and the past reappeared in my mind)…”
Accompanied by this beautiful voice, the fans' deafening cheers sounded again, and countless people screamed at the top of their lungs: "Taylor Swift!"
Chamberlain turned his head to look at the center of the stadium. The lights of the whole venue dimmed. Only a white and crystal light beam was scattered on the stage in the middle of the stadium. A girl with beautiful hair shawls was singing affectionately with a microphone in her hand.
I saw that the girl was spotless in the clean light of snow. She didn't wear any makeup on her face, maintaining her elegant appearance. Her blonde hair was not deliberately made into any hairstyle, and she simply draped on her shoulders. The most surprising thing was that the girl did not wear a dress or skirt, but simply wore a large jersey, revealing her two arms as white as lotus roots.
The jersey is very big, and it looks like a skirt on the girl, pulling it to the middle of her thigh. There is nothing on the girl's legs. From the outside, there is only one jersey on her body, and she is wearing a pair of sneakers on her feet. The golden sneakers are pleated under the light, and they are paired with the girl's blue and gold jersey, which makes her look more generous.
The girl is Taylor Swift, the jersey is the Warriors away jersey, the number is 0, and the back is 'zhang-b-l', which is naturally Chamberlain's jersey. The girl's feet are wearing the Storm Generation just launched by Chamberlain, and the soles have four wheels, exactly the same as the electric car shoes that Chamberlain gave to fans before.
Zhong Dajun, who was holding popcorn and eating hard, saw Taylor Swift appearing in the snow-white lights, and he didn't care about chewing popcorn. He looked at the stadium in amazement and murmured: "Damn, goddess!"
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Zhong Dajun turned around and saw that the record statistics sheet in Li Qun's hand had been torn into pieces. Seeing this, he shivered and quickly lowered his head to eat his popcorn.
A bunch of stars gathered together to play and make a fuss, and Iverson shouted strangely: "The boy is really good at the trick. Even Taylor, a beautiful girl, was hooked up? Some time ago, I thought those private photos of you and Taylor were from P.S. It turned out that they were all true."
Chamberlain wailed and tried hard to explain: "You misunderstood, things are not what you imagined..."
"What do we imagine?" Yao Ming put his hand on Chamberlain's shoulder and smiled, "Old Zhang, as a man, you should be more in love. As a woman, it's enough to have a wife."
Chamberlain nodded quickly and said, "I have a wife. Really, if you don't believe me, I have a wife."
Bilups looked surprised and said, "You have a wife, why don't I know?"
Chamberlain simply stopped explaining. He knew that these old birds were just making fun of him, and it was useless to explain. What we have to do now is to change the topic and find a teammate who fights side by side. Of course, the best teammate is Billups, so the two of them stood arm in hand. Chamberlain said: "Man, do you want to get MVP? In the second half, we will give those little kids in the East some fun?"
