I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 561

On February 17, 2008, at the New Orleans Arena. At this time, the center of the two teams, center Yao Ming in the east and center Howard in the west, stood in the center circle.

For Howard, there is really too much new and old hatred between him and Yao Ming.

In the 2006 NBA Finals, Yao Ming single-handedly overturned the Spurs' championship that year.

After that Finals, Howard, the future first center, became the object of many people's complaints.

And Yao Ming has a stalk of 'eat, sleep and play Warcraft'.

Not to mention, this stalk is quite appropriate, because everyone who knows Dayao knows that he really likes playing Warcraft.

Finally, Howard completed his breakthrough this season and became the veritable No. 1 center in the Western Conference. His offensive and defensive performance can even be said to be the best in the entire league, just like a No. 1 center has grown.

But, although Howard dominated most of the centers in the league this season, when facing Yao...

To be fair, he was still miserable.

Such a result makes Howard, who wants to avenge Yao this season, very unhappy and uncomfortable.

After all, Howard feels that he is really strong enough now.

Not to mention, Howard is indeed very, very strong this season.

Historically, Howard took off this season.

In the Spurs, Howard is definitely stronger than the strength, but it is better offensive skills or defensive skills.

Therefore, this season that Howard dominates all centers in the league except Yao Ming, there is nothing wrong with this.

And this also brought Howard a lot of self-confidence.

He felt that before Oden's rise, the position of the league's first center needs to be given to him.

It's just that the previous fight against Yao Ming before the All-Stars made him a little frustrated.

However, this season he still has two chances to play against Yao Ming.

And this All-Star is the most important one.

In this game, he wants to push Yao Ming down.

Therefore, for Howard, this game is his battle of proof. He has to fight for the MVP of the All-Star Game with the support of Ron Howard and Arenas.

Of course, the MVP of this game is more than Howard.

For example, the head of science in the west.

The Ke boss is ready to get all the MVPs this season.

Except for these superstars in the west, there are actually quite a few Buddhists on the east side.

There is no such thing as Howard and the boss in the East who need this MVP to prove their existence.

Even Nash, who competes with Ke's boss for the MVP this season, does not need this MVP to prove himself.

In other words, in Nash's game style, the All-Star MVP had nothing to do with him, unless he shot a lot in the game.

Nash is strong in scoring and efficient, but he will not go to the game like this.

Therefore, before the game, many people said that this year's New Orleans All-Star Weekend will be a battle between Lakers and Spurs players.

There may also be a spoiler for the Nuggets of Iverson and Anthony.

After all, Chen Xiao was here to play this All-Star Weekend, and everyone saw it clearly.

The court is important. After Howard beat Yao Ming with an easy jump ball, the Western Conference All-Stars launched the first offense of this game.

After defeating Yao Ming with a jump ball, Howard was very excited and couldn't wait to run to the front court.

And Iverson, who received Howard's jump ball, quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Faced with Howard who had already rushed to the basket for the ball, Iverson didn't even think about it. After a beautiful butterfly pierced Wade away from the three-point line, he stepped into the three-point line and made two points from a long distance. Pulling up high, sent his first iron in this game, and also contributed to Xiao Zhan's first rebound in this game.

Iverson's offense is very beautiful, even if there is no hit, there is no way, so the Lakers coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines and many spectators on the scene applauded Xiao Ai's wonderful offense.

This is the All-Star, the picturesque picture here, that is political correctness.

It's just obvious that Howard under the basket has a slightly exploded mentality at this time.

After jumping the ball just now, he raced with Yao Ming. Mingming has already outperformed Yao Ming. As long as Xiao Ai passes the ball over, he will be a dunk at the basket. This Nima's actually threw it outside by himself!

In this regard, Howard really has ten thousand dissatisfaction.

Although the Spurs also have a guard Arenas with the same style as Iverson, Arenas and Ron Howard played very restrained this season.

In order to support Howard's growth, the two will deliberately pass for Howard in the game, so this season as the Spurs' youngest, Howard even played like the Spurs boss.

And this also contributed to Howard's arrogance, and his All-Star was obtained by defeating the historic center of O'Neal. In this case, it is strange that Howard is not floating.

And looking at the unusually anxious and 'cute' center on the court, the head coach of the East side of the field, and the head coach of the Raptors Sr. Nelson's eyes lit up involuntarily.

Soon, this 'kindly' grandfather made various gestures to the Eastern All-Stars on the sidelines.

After seeing these gestures made by old Nelson, Chen Xiao and the other Eastern All-Stars all smiled after a moment.

"I thought this All-Star Weekend would be boring, but now it doesn't seem to be the case."

I have to say that the old Nelson really found good game fun for them.

Let's put it this way, the All-Stars in the East are really not interested in this season's All-Star game.

Why is it so?

Mainly because the competition in the East is too great this season.

The Raptors, Heat, Magic, Nets, Cavaliers, Bobcats, Bucks, seven super teams fight each other, followed by a semi-super team like the Bulls.

How can you guys have the energy to work so hard in a game like the All-Star Game?

So, for the All-Stars here in the East, they are really just a cutscene.

After all, with the exception of Deron and Mai, the All-Stars in the East are all from these seven super teams.

After the old Nelson made the gesture, on the court, after Nash dribbled the ball for halftime, Nash and Yao Ming made a pick-and-roll, called Howard from the basket, and immediately passed the ball to Yao Ming's hand, allowing Yao Ming to play Howard on the outside. .

After receiving the pass from Nash at the top of the arc, Yao smiled at Howard, who was defending himself. After swaying Howard by pretending to break through with the ball, he stood on tiptoe and shot outside the arc at the top of the three-point line. His first shot in this game.

Brush!

Three-pointer!

After Yao Ming hit a three-pointer, the big man who had always been 'shy' actually performed a stiff robotic dance in front of Howard.

Good guy, I just showed the audience and Howard in front of him.

To be reasonable, Yao Ming's offense was quite relaxed this time, and his current mentality is also relaxed.

In history, in this All-Star Game, Dayao made a 'many' three-pointer, but he didn't make it, but he made it as soon as he came up this time.

After the audience stayed for a while, they all laughed when they saw Yao Ming's machine dance.

But obviously, Howard on the court is not happy.

Yao Mingyan was beeped for three points!

Isn't this a new posture unlocked by Yao Ming?

Yao Ming beeped that he had never used this pose before!

For a time Howard's anger rose again.

The game continued, and it was the turn of the Western Conference to attack. This time Howard's baseline ball was not sent to Iverson, nor to the boss of Ko, but to Ron Howard, who was going to pass the half-time empty-handed.

Seeing Howard like this, of course the other Western Conference All-Stars will understand in seconds.

Howard is ready to attack this time.

Sure enough, after Ron Howard dribbled the ball to three lines outside, he dropped the ball to Howard in the paint.

Howard, who received the ball, faced Yao Ming's defense and immediately looked like he was going to take Yao Ming with the ball and swallow Yao Ming.

After all, Howard's anger was not low at this time.

only…

When Howard was about to start, he found a scene that stunned him.

The Eastern All-Stars next to him, James, Carter, Chen Xiao, Wade, everyone is shrinking to him!

Not to mention Howard was stunned, even the audience next to him was stunned.

"is it necessary?!

Is it necessary to defend Howard? ! "

Barkley, the TNT commentator on the sidelines, exclaimed.

is it necessary?

Of course it is not necessary.

But, who made Howard's momentum so great this season?

Let's put it this way, Howard, who averaged 21 points, 14 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game with the Spurs this season, has indeed gained the momentum of the No. 1 center this season.

Especially in the All-Star vote, he dumped more than 1 million O'Neal votes, which makes him in the limelight now.

Before the start of the All-Star Game, Howard was tied with Kobe as the two stars with the highest MVP odds.

And before the All-Star Game, Howard had just scored a career-high 45 points in the league's first game against the Raptors, and made 38 free throws during the game, setting a new NBA record.

Under such public opinion, Howard is not modest at all.

In previous interviews, it was stated more than once that this game will give birth to a new dominant center.

Since you want to be a dominant center like O'Neal, I will add O'Neal's treatment to you first. There is nothing wrong with this, right?

Of course there is nothing wrong with it!

At the very least, Kenny Smith next to Barkley felt nothing wrong.

"Howard hinted before the game that he is now a super center. Old Nelson is to let him experience the treatment of super centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming in advance. I believe that the kind and kind old Nelson is definitely not in the All-Star game. Revenge against Howard, hahahaha."

Seeing Howard, who was stunned on the court, was preparing to find a passing time in a panic, and finally was embarrassed by Chen Xiao's long arm to steal the ball, Kenny Smith laughed unkindly.

And what made the audience and Kenny Smith laugh more loudly was that Chen Xiao did not push the fast break immediately after completing the steal, but rushed to Howard who quickly retreated with the ball.

Seeing Chen Xiao's posture, no one knows what Chen Xiao is doing.

"Wonder Boy is also going to single Howard!"

"The gesture of the old Nelson just now is not only to give Howard a super center treatment, but also the Bobcats court players as long as they find a chance to take turns military training singles Howard!"

"I now reiterate that the old Nelson I know is indeed a kind and loving old man, just like Popovich of the Spurs. He is definitely not avenging the controversial game between the Spurs and the Raptors!"

The American audience in front of the TV said that if you have said this, it is better not to say it!

Old Nelson will definitely'thank you and the whole family' after listening.

However, what Kenny Smith said is really right.

The All-Stars in the East in this game are really crazy about Howard on the offensive end in this game.

As long as Howard offensively on the defensive end, everyone shrinks, regardless of whether the outside is emptied or not.

When attacking, whether it is Yao Ming, Carter, James, Chen Xiao or Wade, as long as everyone has a chance, they will go crazy to Howard.

To be reasonable, the Eastern Conference All-Stars play like this is very unwise, and the defense is so defensive, as long as Howard passes the ball out, it will collapse.

And the offense is so big and not smart. Howard's defense is very strong. You always look for one of the opponent's defenses to go singles. This is very tough.

However, it is very surprising that the Eastern Conference is so unwise to play, after halftime, the Eastern Conference actually led 74 to 65 by 9 points.

You know, the Eastern All-Star team really didn't intend to win this game.

They just want to cooperate with old Nelson and spoof the arrogant big man Howard.

The last big man who was so obsessed with air was Bogut of the Mosaic team. Now that Bogut was cast out of the shadows, it is rumored that Francis Amway XD, the former boss of Mosaic, is now abandoned.

Of course, Howard is an All-Star and a newly-rising superstar. He is not the same as Bogut. He is certainly qualified to play 13, so the Eastern All-Stars are just a spoof to Howard.

After finishing the first half and breaking Howard's mentality, the Eastern All-Stars stopped spoofing Howard in the second half.

However, Howard's extremely resentful eyes have already made it clear that he can't go back, and can't go back at all. Is there any difference between doing me halftime like this and doing me the whole game?

Well, there really is no difference.

Anyway, the final MVP was not his, and he did not prove himself in front of Yao Ming.

In the end, the Eastern Conference All-Stars, who had no intention of winning, eventually defeated the Western All-Stars 134 to 128.

Why can the Eastern Conference All-Stars win?

Just look at the 6-of-19 three-pointers in the Western Conference All-Star game.

The Eastern Conference really gives a chance in this game, but you don't make a shot after you miss it. There is no way.

In addition, the Eastern Conference can win this game, Ray Allen contributed the most.

The head of the Bucks team played 18 minutes, 10 of 14 and 5 of 9 three-pointers. In these 18 minutes, Ray Allen once again staged the'Lei Zhenzi Moment'. 28 points were scored in such a short time.

With this extremely shocking performance of scoring explosive power, Ray Allen finally defeated Chen Xiao, who was 7, 20 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in 7, and Xiao Zhan, who was 12 and 27 in 22, became one of the stars tonight. star.

By the way, the teenager Durant, who played in the All-Star Game for the first time this time, performed well. He scored 7 of 14 in the game and scored 15 points.

Deron was 2 of 4, UU reading www.uukanshu.com scored 6 points and 6 assists.

In short, in this All-Star game, except for the two All-Stars of the Raptors Nash and O'Neal, the performance of everyone else can be described by their bravery.

In other words, they didn't intend to be so fierce in this game.

Why can't you control yourself suddenly?

Finally, all the Eastern All-Stars looked at the old Nelson who kindly applauded the star of Ray Allen.

"This is a conspiracy!"

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in Chen Xiao's ear.

And after Chen Xiao nodded, a smile appeared on his face: "We had a great time, didn't we?"

This is true.

It's just obvious that Howard on the other side feels that he is not so happy anymore.

After all, he is the one being played.

but…

"Hmph, Great Wall, I will come back!"

As Garnett's diehard brother and one of the four kings of the Wolf King Cult, Howard now thinks that he is already very proficient in the spirit of the Wolf King.

Moreover, after he was crushed by Yao Ming in the finals, the spirit of the wolf king brought him back.

Therefore, in the face of failure, Howard, who possesses the spirit of the wolf king, has never faced it with frustration.

In the face of failure, there will always be a 'I will come back!' 'Heart.

And this is the essence of the spirit of the wolf king!

Well, Yao Ming, who was stared at by Howard, naturally didn't know Howard's inner thoughts, and smiled honestly. That meant, he was just saying, welcome to visit next time.

So, even though it was a conspiracy, everyone was really happy to play.

"Although O'Neal is gone, the league has new pistachios..."

ps: Happy National Day everyone!
