In the last quarter, the Eastern Conference put together their strongest lineup.
James, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Howard.
There is no point guard. Anyway, with James holding the ball, not having a point guard is not a big problem.
The main reason is that the Celtics trio is difficult to break up, James must be played, and Howard is the best choice at center. As a result, Kidd's position is no longer available.
And another advantage of this lineup is that there are many strikers, so they can use the defense against Zhang Zhiyuan.
Except for Howard, the other four will not suffer too much loss against Zhang Zhiyuan.
With such a lineup, it shows how much they want to win.
On the Western side, both Lakers stars also appeared.
The point guard was Nash, not the more popular Iverson.
The power forward is Duncan.
Although he may not be interested, at Zhang Zhiyuan's request, Duncan had no choice but to appear. Who made Jackson the coach of the Western Conference?
Stoudemire was chosen as the center instead of Yao Ming. This does not mean that Yao Ming is not strong. The main reason is that the pace of the game is faster and Yao Ming is slower.
And Nash and Stoudemire have a better understanding, which is also a factor.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't know who was guarding him in this quarter, so he could only use the attribute chain on James.
The West attacked first, and Nash controlled the ball and advanced.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan discovered that he had made a mistake. The person defending him was actually Pierce.
But it's not a big problem.
Zhang Zhiyuan made a move and Pierce chased him.
Nash took a few steps with the ball and then exited beyond the three-point line, and James chased after him.
But that left a gap for Stoudemire.
Stoudemire went straight to the basket, and Nash understood and threw the ball over.
Stoudemire caught the ball and took off.
Facing the charging Stoudemire, Garnett couldn't guard him.
Howard could use his tonnage to block it, but at this time his position was blocked by Duncan, and he had to go around Duncan if he wanted to get there.
If you choose to go around, the day lilies will be cold by the time he passes.
Therefore, Howard did not move, but prepared to grab the rebound.
He was obviously overthinking, how could Stoudemire not make the shot in this situation.
The ball was scored, 132 to 137.
When the Eastern Conference attacks, who can guard James has become a big problem in the Western Conference.
With someone like Nash around, James would probably knock him into the audience.
In the end, Kobe chose to switch defenses with him.
Nash went after Ray Allen, and Kobe guarded James.
However, Ray Allen doesn't only know how to shoot three-pointers.
Ray Allen made a breakthrough layup, and Nash had no choice but to foul.
Ray Allen stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.
134 to 137.
During the transition between offense and defense, Duncan stepped out to cover Zhang Zhiyuan, and Pierce's pursuit was delayed.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan made a three-pointer and scored.
It's just so incomprehensible.
Pierce's heart felt cold as he watched it, and his thoughts even drifted to the playoffs and the finals.
He began to worry about whether he could win the championship.
If the three giants are formed and still can't win the championship, then he will suffer a big loss.
The doubts from the media were enough to drink him up.
Eastern offense, Ray Allen made a three-pointer.
The ball goes in.
He was originally a three-point expert, but now the team pays more attention to three-point shooting tactics, so Ray Allen also practices. His three-point ability is stronger than before.
When the Western Conference attacked, Nash organized on the outside. James stood in front of Nash, but couldn't help but observe Zhang Zhiyuan with his peripheral vision.
He was worried that Zhang Zhiyuan would get another chance to take action, so he was ready to make up defense at all times.
He looks down on Nash.
How could Nash endure it? He immediately jumped up, shot, and scored.
"The existing rules are not very friendly to defenders and make defense more difficult."
O'Neal couldn't help but complain.
After all, the current rules make it easy to call defensive fouls, which O'Neal doesn't like very much.
"Then why is your offensive dominance declining?"
Buckley asked.
"...."
O'Neill.
This question was very troublesome, and Smith was having fun on the sidelines.
"Please, stop struggling and come to work at TNT. I can put in a few good words for you in front of your boss. You don't have to worry about not being able to find a job after you retire."
Barkley is still worried.
"Fuck you, I can still fight for at least 5 years. Besides, how could the great Shakur be worried about not finding a new job? I won't partner with you even when I go to the gas station to wash the car."
O'Neill said.
On the court, the two teams have been playing for several minutes.
Because the fight was so fierce and the players on both sides were exhausted, the two teams made some substitutions.
Western attack.
Anthony, who was new to the game, was full of energy and asked for the ball directly from the mid-range. Nash passed the ball and Anthony jumped on the spot.
Bang.
Anthony struck angrily, then retreated with a smile.
He just came to have fun and did not adapt to the current atmosphere.
Back on the defensive end, Anthony carelessly lost his position and James burst past his head and then scored a layup.
153 to 156, the Eastern Conference once again narrowed the point difference to one goal.
When the Western Conference attacked, Anthony still wanted to play in singles, but Nash no longer passed the ball to him.
Nash watched carefully, finally saw Nowitzki had a chance, and immediately passed the ball.
Norvis funds the chicken independently and hits the jumper.
When there is no defensive interference, as long as the attitude is correct, scoring goals is too easy for stars like them.
153 to 158, Eastern offense.
Zhang Zhiyuan has begun to personally mark Ray Allen to prevent this guy from throwing another three-pointer.
Under his entanglement, Ray Allen had no chance.
He couldn't help but complain about the unscrupulous media.
Some media say that Zhang Zhiyuan's defense is average. Is this called average?
Fast, powerful and with excellent defensive awareness.
He would rather play against Kobe Bryant or Anthony than against Zhang Zhiyuan.
Ray Allen didn't have a chance, but James felt a little lucky.
In this way, he has a reason not to pass the ball and can attack more by himself.
Then James broke through for a layup, and Anthony defended him symbolically.
The ball goes in.
155 to 158.
The Western Conference attacked, and the person defending Zhang Zhiyuan became James.
Zhang Zhiyuan held the ball in a one-on-one challenge and first made a fake move to the left. James was not fooled. He had memorized Zhang Zhiyuan's technical characteristics and knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was accustomed to breaking through to the right.
James was not deceived, Zhang Zhiyuan simply burst out from the left.
The action was a bit obvious. James adjusted his body's center of gravity, but Zhang Zhiyuan then changed direction and charged from the right.
James wanted to move laterally, but his body could no longer keep up.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan passed James and headed towards the basket.
Howard made up the defense, Zhang Zhiyuan passed a pass behind Howard, Nowitzki caught the ball and made a layup, scoring.
155 to 160.
The point difference could never be narrowed, and James felt a little anxious.
When it was the Eastern Conference's turn to attack, James used his signature move, a four-step layup.
The referee hesitated and did not call the call.
It won’t be called during the regular season, and it’s even less likely to be called during the All-Star Game.
What made the referee speechless was that the All-Star Game was a game where the outcome was not important, yet James actually used this trick, which was a bit ugly.
157 to 160.
In the western offensive, Zhang Zhiyuan was also bad and deliberately played tricks at this time.
With his back against James, he looked like he was protecting the ball, looking for someone to pass the ball to, and a bit like he was going to play from behind.
However, the audience guessed wrong.
Zhang Zhiyuan threw the ball directly from his head to the basket.
When Anthony saw this, he thought it was an alley-oop, so he jumped directly to the basket and tried to dunk.
However, after he took off, he found that his speed was slower and it was already too late.
Just when Anthony was upset, the basketball fell into the basket.
"..."
Anthony.
It was embarrassing to be self-indulgent, and he hoped no one would notice.
But this is impossible.
"Fortunately, Anthony didn't touch the ball, otherwise it would have been two points."
Sun Zhengping smiled.
"Zhang Zhiyuan's luck is a bit too good. Maybe he has practiced regularly and got a feel for it. However, I have never heard that Zhang Zhiyuan trains very hard."
Zhang Lili said doubtfully.
"It's also because he has good talent, and the effect of casual practice is better than that of others who practice hard. Just like a top student masters the problem-solving skills by doing exercises, a bad student works hard to memorize the problem-solving methods.
.”
Sun Zhengping made a metaphor that made countless viewers burst into tears.
"You can just tell me your ID number."
"Stop talking, please stop talking."
"Can we still chat happily?"
...
On the court, the Eastern offense failed to hit the target.
There are two minutes left in the game, the score difference is 6 points, and the West has the ball.
These are all disadvantages for the Eastern Conference team.
"The Eastern team has no hope."
Smith said.
"I said this before the game even started."
Barkley said disdainfully that before the game he boldly predicted that the Western Conference team would win. But now, his prediction has come true.
When the Western Conference attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan caught the ball and was double-teamed. Then Zhang Zhiyuan passed the ball to Nash.
Nash made a three-pointer and scored.
157 to 166, the score difference is 9 points.
The Eastern team is even more hopeless. New
When the Eastern team attacked, James patted the basketball in frustration and pushed forward. The speed was a bit slow and he seemed not to struggle anymore.
After halftime, he threw the ball to Garnett.
Garnett was still portraying the image of never giving up and made a big jumper after catching the ball.
The ball goes in.
But Garnett didn't scream, he couldn't help but look like this.
When the Western Conference attacked, James was distracted. Zhang Zhiyuan immediately hit the ground and passed the ball. Anthony received the ball and passed James and dunked.
159 to 168.
With 50 seconds left on the clock, there was no hope of a comeback.
James dribbled the ball past half-court and casually threw a long three-pointer, but the ball went in.
For a moment, James could only lament that fate was playing tricks on people.
On the contrary, James fans are very excited. They can finally say that their idol can also throw long three-pointers. This is not exclusive to Zhang Zhiyuan. This ball is proof.
When the West attacked, Nowitzki also threw a three-pointer and scored.
162 to 171.
When the East attacked, Ray Allen threw another one and missed.
There were 8 seconds left on the clock. Nash controlled the ball and advanced without attacking, and kept using up these 8 seconds.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 162 to 171.
This score is quite high, mainly because the shooting percentages of the two teams in the first half were too high.
Data aspect.
In the Eastern Conference, the top scorer was Ray Allen, who made 14 of 22 shots, scored 39 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and hit 9 three-pointers.
James had the most comprehensive performance, making 14 of 23 shots and scoring 31 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
Garnett's performance was mediocre, scoring only 12 points, and Pierce was even worse, scoring only 8 points.
There were too many stars on the court, and Pierce couldn't get any shot.
Wade only scored 15 points, and Howard scored 18 points.
Kidd had 2 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists.
Hamilton, Billups, Joe Johnson, Carter and others all have double-digit accounts.
On the Western side, the one with the highest score is Zhang Zhiyuan.
He made 18 of 25 shots, 10 of 15 three-pointers, plus one free throw, scoring 47 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.
The score is the highest in the game, the statistics are the most gorgeous in the game, amvp is well deserved.
Kobe didn't take many shots and only scored 20 points.
Nash had 22 points and 12 assists, Iverson had 21 points, Anthony had 18 points, and Yao Ming had 4 points and 4 rebounds.
Stoudemire had 12 points and 6 rebounds.
Duncan, Nowitzki, Roy, Paul, West and others have relatively average data because they don't have the ball and don't have many shooting opportunities.
"All-star MVP, star among stars. Even among a bunch of superstars, he is the best one."
Sun Zhengping praised.
It is unrealistic to expect Yao Ming to win AMVP, but now Zhang Zhiyuan has filled this vacancy.
So far, Chinese players have won the championship, finals mvp, three-point contest champion, dunk contest champion, all-star contest mvp...
He still lacks honors such as scoring champion, mvp, and rebounding champion.
"The key is that the players in the Western Conference give him face, and Nash keeps passing the ball to him. It seems that Zhang Zhiyuan is also very popular in the NBA."
Zhang Lili came to a conclusion, but fans expressed doubts about this conclusion.
The end of the All-Star Game also means the end of this All-Star event.
Judging from the ratings, this event was obviously very successful.
Judging from the media's evaluation and fans' feedback, the biggest credit for the success of this event goes to Zhang Zhiyuan.
It was his performance in the three-point contest that attracted more fans to pay attention to this event, and his performance in the slam dunk contest and the main game also successfully retained the fans.
Anyway, Stern is extremely satisfied with Zhang Zhiyuan.
The only small regret is probably Zhang Zhiyuan's Chinese identity.
If Zhang Zhiyuan were American, it would be perfect.
The competition is over and the voting results will be released soon.
In the end, Zhang Zhiyuan was elected amvp with a unanimous vote.
This did not go beyond fans' expectations.
47 points and 7 assists, these are not selected, what other data can be selected?
Stern handed over the trophy, and then Zhang Zhiyuan gave a very "standard" acceptance speech.
This is what surprised the fans. They thought Zhang Zhiyuan was eloquent again and could tell some jokes.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed.
After the All-Star break, players from each team returned immediately and actively prepared for the game.
The All-Star is a symbol. After the All-Star, it means that the regular season has entered the second half.
Next, the teams competing for the playoffs will have to work hard, and the teams competing for rankings will also need to work hard.
The second half of the game will be more intense and difficult.
The media predicts that the Lakers' winning streak will soon be interrupted. The suspense is which team can take advantage of this advantage. Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
