Chapter 626 The madness on AMVP night(1/2)
The situation on the field began to reverse.
At this time, Anthony took the initiative to ask James to pass the ball.
After successive attacks to no avail, he still didn't believe in evil and made up his mind to attack one.
For the "obsessed" Anthony, James had no choice but to hand the ball to his good brother.
In the final analysis, it can only be said that the current pursuits and vision patterns of the two are different.
Back in 2003, when they first joined the league, both of them were hailed as future faces of the league.
At least in the first three years, this was indeed the case.
But later on, as James continued to exert his strength, his career also went further and further on the road to goat; on the other hand, Anthony was more inclined to pursue stand-up singles and money.
Who is still young, but after being frivolous, it was only when he reached thirty years old that Anthony realized that he had received personal honors in his career?
Gained very little.
The only one to take action,
That is, the scoring champion he just won two years ago.
Therefore, he especially cherishes this opportunity to host the All-Star Games in New York and wants to win an MVP award for his honor book in the sky.
Although it is generally recognized by the outside world that among the three major MVP awards in the NBA, the regular season MVP is absolutely supreme, with countless superstars chasing after it every season.
To be honest, the Finals MVP award was quite valuable before Iguodala was selected as the Finals MVP in 2015.
From 1969, when Jerry West became the first Finals mvp, to Iguodala in 2015, among the 46 finals mvp winners, the winners in most years were all top players in the league.
top players of the year.
Let’s not mention the 1980s and 1990s. After all, they are a bit far away. Take the previous Finals mvps in the past 20 years as an example. They are generally regarded by the outside world as relatively weak or quite controversial. They are as follows:
:
Chauncey Billups in '04;
Tony Parker in 2007;
Kawhi Leonard ’14;
And Andrew Iguodala in '15!
If you think about it carefully, before Iguodala appeared, even the controversial Billups, Parker, and Leonard,
In the season when they won the Finals MVP, Parker was selected as an All-Star substitute in the 2006-07 season; Leonard was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team; Billups quickly ushered in the highlight period of his career.
Selected as an All-Star for 5 consecutive years.
Only Iguodala was neither selected to the All-Stars, nor to the All-NBA Team, or to the All-Defensive Team in the season when he was the finals MVP. The only time he was selected to the All-Stars in his career was with the 75ers. After arriving with the Warriors, he
, is no longer in his prime, and has never received any personal honors since then.
But don’t forget, that’s what happened in the original history. Here, the 2014 Finals champion was the Portland Trail Blazers, and Leonard did not win the Finals MVP, which once again added water to the gold content of this award.
The success of turning the Finals MVP into the Iguodala Award has not yet happened. Therefore, the Finals MVP is still a very important personal top honor award.
Of course, a championship is far away from Anthony, let alone a finals MVP?
Therefore, Anthony will focus all his energy on the All-Star MVP, which is the last of the three major MVP awards.
No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
Besides, since entering the new century,
Players who can win the All-Star MVP, such as Iverson, Kobe, Garnett, O'Neal, James, Wade, Wang Zelin, which one is not a well-known superstar.
Before Wang Zelin, that is, before 2012, all the players who won the All-Star MVP after retirement, except for one Glen Rice, were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Among the players who have won the Finals MVP in the past, two of them (Cedric Maxwell and JoJo White) have not been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after retirement.
If you think about it this way, it seems that the All-Star MVP is not as valuable as imagined. Even to a certain extent, among the players who can win the All-Star MVP and become the star of stars, the probability of parallel imports is higher than that in the finals.
mvp is even lower.
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Back to the game.
This time, Anthony succeeded in a post-up shot against Aldridge, once again adding to his scoring numbers.
Facts have once again proved that unless it is a ghost, it is almost impossible for a scorer of Anthony's level to feel cold all night.
The game is now 152:142, and the point difference is still double digits.
But time was really running out. There were still 2 minutes and 07 seconds left before the end of the game. Wang Zelin understood that it would be difficult to recover the score simply by scoring two points. He had to grab three points.
So, under everyone's attention, Wang Zelin suddenly made a long pass, and the basketball went straight to the Eastern team's half.
James was staring at the ball in the air and immediately followed it.
The ball was passed very high, because otherwise it would have been intercepted by the Eastern team, and it was also very fast. Even if they wanted to grab a three-pointer, ordinary players would have to take a short time to adjust after receiving it.
"The ball was passed high and fast. Wang was a little too hasty!"
Buckley shook his head.
Not only him, but James on the court also thought so.
The basketball finally flew to No. 30 of the Eastern Conference—Stephen Curry!
Curry jumped up high, and the basketball carried a huge impact that made his hands numb.
"Finally got here."
At this time, James also chased after him, feeling relieved slowly, and then hurriedly jumped on Curry as he fell.
"LeBron has the complete height advantage and he locked up Steph!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, just when Barkley had just come to a conclusion, he saw Curry hit the ground from the air, take a quick shot with a fallback, and shoot towards the basket.
go.
Because his body leaned back at an excessive angle, Curry fell directly to the floor.
What about basketball?
The basketball continued to rise, reaching its highest point even exceeding the top edge of the backboard, and then fell rapidly, hollowing out into the net.
"This..." James felt goosebumps all over his body. This may be the most exaggerated three-point shot he has ever seen on the All-Star stage.
But they actually got in!
Even Wang Zelin who passed the ball to Curry was stunned. He really didn't expect Curry to be able to hit a difficult three-pointer!
At this time, he had already rushed to the center circle and was about to go to meet Curry.
But the moment the basketball hit the net, Madison Square Garden was silent for a second, as if time had stopped.
However, that is just the "calm before the storm"!
After a second, the whole place exploded.
On the big screen at Madison Square Garden, the slow playback of the difficult three-pointer just now appeared!
Harden, who was at the top of the key, ran excitedly to Curry and pulled him up from the ground with both hands.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack..."
The cheers and slogans supporting the victory of the Western Star team became louder and louder, even overwhelming the Eastern Star team with host Anthony.
"LeBron, let me do it!"
Melon's expression at this time was even more bitter than bitter melon. He gritted his teeth and shouted to James.
"Um!"
After coming back to his senses, James also responded as a good brother.
After the Western team scored, the Eastern team failed to complete a quick offensive and defensive transition and could only fall into position.
James is playing Anthony's position, and then gives the ball to him for a low single.
But this time, the defender he faced became No. 36 Wang Zelin. Wang Zelin was much higher than him, and he was also recognized as the strongest defender in active service.
Anthony's pull-up jumper with continuous changes of pace was interfered by Wang Zelin, and Aldridge turned around to collect the rebound.
When the Western team arrived in the frontcourt, they first focused on the most reliable inside line.
James saw that Bosh couldn't guard him and quickly moved in to double-team him.
Wang Zelin gave the ball back to Harden in time. Harden got an open three-point opportunity.
The bearded man took direct action from the outside.
Swish——!
The ball went into the basket steadily, 152:148, and the Western team chased the point difference to only 4 points.
"Now there is still a 4-point gap between the two teams. It's time for the most exciting star showdown. Cheers! Screams!"
Driven by the on-site commentary, all the fans began to shout wildly, and the sound was so loud that all the players subconsciously licked their dry lips.
