In the Western Conference, because Howard suddenly transferred to the Western Conference, and his votes exceeded Yao Ming, he replaced Yao Ming and became the All-Star starting center. Tim Duncan was suspensefully appointed as the starting power forward in the Western Conference. Iverson and Anthony were a pair of Denver opponents.
The Nuggets' golden duo will start at point guard and small forward, with Kobe Bryant serving as shooting guard.
Also sitting on the bench are Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, David West and other great players. Worth mentioning
Brandon Roy, who was also a rookie in the 2006 class with Adrian, also took the last train to the All-Star Game. Together with Adrian, he became the only second-year rookie in the 2006 class to be selected as an All-Star. Another All-Star
Star-level point guard Jason Kidd was hampered by the Mavericks' poor record. Whether he was a starter or a substitute, he failed to make the All-Star team.
In the Eastern Conference, although O'Neal played less time this season and his performance declined, he was firmly suppressed by Howard in the votes. However, before the start of the All-Star Game, Howard suddenly moved to the Western Conference, and O'Neal naturally took over as the starting center and starting power forward.
It was originally scheduled to be Kevin Garnett. At the same time, Garnett's popularity rose instead of falling, and he won more than two million votes and became the top vote-getter for this year's All-Star Game. However, before the All-Star Game was about to begin, Garnett said
Hoping to withdraw from the injury, the league had no choice but to replace Garnett's starting position with the original backup power forward Chris Bosh, and replaced the "Roaring King" Rasheed Wallace who was originally unsuccessful in the All-Star Game.
Come up and fill the vacancy.
This development caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the 'Roaring God'. He did not want to participate in this All-Star Game. After originally confirming that this All-Star Game basically had nothing to do with him, Rasheed Wallace has already
I am ready to take advantage of the All-Star weekend to travel and vacation with my family.
The sudden decision of the league completely ruined the plan he had prepared for a long time. Although on the court, "Roaring God" is the well-deserved king of technical fouls, but off the court, Rasheed Wallace is a good family man.
Man. The well-prepared vacation plan suddenly came to nothing, which made Rasheed Wallace feel a little sorry for his wife.[
The starter at the small forward position is LeBron James, who together with shooting guard Wade formed the starting trio of the 2003 class.
Adrian starts at point guard.
The head coaches of the Eastern and Western Conferences are Doc Rivers of the Celtics and Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers. Currently, these two teams rank first in the Eastern and Western Conferences respectively. The Celtics’ record
It's better, two more wins than the Los Angeles Lakers.
At the beginning of the game, Howard soared into the sky and knocked the basketball away from O'Neal's head. Although he still qualified for the All-Star starting spot, one problem he had to face was that O'Neal was indeed old and his explosive power had declined too much.
So fast that a junior like Howard can dominate him.
After Anthony received the basketball, he quickly passed it to Iverson. Iverson rushed into the paint like a gust of wind and kicked off the All-Star Game with a dunk.
O'Neal served the ball from the baseline. Adrian brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately reached out to Adrian to get the ball. Then he started dribbling with his hips step by step in front of the three-point line.
O'Neal is indeed the most flexible fat man on the planet. Needless to mention the previous hot dance, although his crotch dribbling seems like Adrian can steal it at any time, but with O'Neal's height and weight, he can still do crotch dribbling.
The action of dribbling is already incredible.
Showing off his guard skills, O'Neal slapped the basketball with one hand. He raised his other hand and hooked his fingers at Howard in the paint. Howard immediately ran out of the paint with a smile on his face and just reached the free throw line. O'Neal Yang
The hand is a three-point shot.
But it's a pity... Although O'Neal can barely dribble from his hips, his shooting accuracy is so bad that he can make a three-pointer even if the Pacific Ocean is used as a basket. O'Neal threw the ball hard.
The basketball flew directly over the backboard and fell into the audience.
Kobe ran on the court for a while and picked up a rebound on the defensive end. He was replaced by Phil Jackson.
Before the All-Star Game, Kobe wanted to give up the opportunity of the All-Star Game to other players. On the one hand, it was because after a few times, Kobe had no interest in the All-Star Game. This year, he was focused on winning the championship. Instead of participating in such an event,
It is better to take more rest and recover in better condition to face the upcoming competition.
Secondly, his finger injury really needs repair.
However, the league did not agree to Kobe's request. In the league's view, since Kobe can play in the regular season, there is no problem in playing in the All-Star Game. In the end, the agreement reached after the dispute was that Kobe can appear in the All-Star Game.
, but it is just a soy sauce role. In addition, Phil Jackson is still the head coach of the Lakers, and it is even more impossible for Kobe to play in the All-Star game for too long.
Phil Jackson replaced Kobe Bryant with Chris Paul and moved Iverson to the shooting guard position. This move triggered cheers and applause from the fans.
I have to say that the host country really took advantage. Chris Paul had just come on the stage and had not shown any performance, and the fans were already cheering loudly.
Chris Paul, who had just appeared on the stage, immediately performed a very wonderful performance. After dribbling to the frontcourt, he pretended to glance at Anthony but quickly threw the basketball to the backboard. Howard jumped high from the baseline and made an alley-oop.
He caught Chris Paul's pass and violently smashed the basketball into the basket with a tomahawk dunk.
After two more shots, O'Neal performed a few more wonderful dribblings and then imitated Jordan and made a pull-up fadeaway jumper. After a lucky hit, he stuck out his tongue and pulled his jersey to change his number from 32.
It was folded back into number 23 and shown to the fans, which immediately aroused bursts of laughter.
O'Neal, who had gained enough luck from the audience, quickly left the game. He was also very old, and the All-Star stage was still very suitable for him, but if he really wanted to run around on the court with these young people, O'Neal's
But his laziness has also started to set in. O'Neal has nothing to pursue in the league. He has everything he should have, including a championship, scoring champion, rebounding champion, mvp, finals mvp, and the top 50 superstars in the league.
Now he is just enjoying basketball.
Then Tim Duncan was replaced. His traditional rebound shot without any changes was a devastating scoring weapon in the regular season, and in the playoffs it was fatal to kill the enemy in an instant.
Weapons, on the All-Star stage, seem too boring.[
Adrian was determined to compete for the finals mvp, so he set up statistics for himself from the first second. Of course, he couldn't do it too obviously. On the offensive end, Adrian acted as if he didn't score any points and kept passing the ball.
Ball. Thanks to the loose style of play in the All-Star Game, Adrian's pass was delivered just right, so he had already received 6 assists when Rivers replaced Ray Allen in the sixth minute.
And thanks to O'Neal always running to the outside to play tricks, Adrian simply rushed into the penalty area as if he was cooperating with O'Neal and acted as an inside player on both offense and defense, fighting for both offensive and defensive rebounds.
During a battle for offensive rebounds, he even assumed a standard position inside to grab the rebound, forcefully blocking Howard behind him, grabbing the offensive rebound and scoring a backhand tip-in.
By the time he was substituted in the sixth minute, Adrian's statistics were 2 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, including three backcourt rebounds. Because he scored too few points, he did not perform anything very exciting on the offensive end.
Performance, so his data has not been noticed.
This is Adrian's plan. He doesn't know what others think, but he knows that LeBron James cares very much about the All-Star Game MVP. If he puts on a posture of competing for the MVP from the beginning, it will only
I'm afraid that LeBron James is already impatiently collecting data to ensure his MVP position. You must know that this is what James did in history. He even controlled the ball continuously in order to achieve a triple-double in this All-Star Game.
The power was taken away directly.
Of course, his popularity in the league is pretty good. Bosh and Wade are his die-hard friends. In addition, he is also highly praised by the league, so no one cares about him.
That's it for now, just quietly rack up a nice stat, and wait until the fourth quarter to score again. As long as you get a triple-double, no matter how many other players score, they won't be able to compete with you for MVP.
With this purpose, Adrian didn't score much in the first three quarters. Only when the opportunity was too good and he couldn't defend himself, he would give a dunk to give back to the audience. At other times, he would give back a dunk.
Either passing the ball and assisting on the offensive end, or grabbing rebounds on the defensive end, showing a conscientious attitude of being a green leaf.
Because neither side defends very much, and except for a few, the players on the court in the East and West are all superhuman physical beings with superb athletic ability. The pace of the game is very fast, and there are constant dunks coming and going, which is exciting.
It was exciting, but it really lacked the intensity of confrontation. In the final analysis, the first three quarters were just an exhibition match.
It’s strange to say that after Jason Kidd left and Billups chose to give up the All-Star Game on the Eastern Team, the only real point guard was Adrian. Others such as Hamilton, Ray Allen, Wade,
Joe Johnson and others are all point guards. It's okay to play point guard as a guest, but not at all as a full-time player.
It is precisely because of this that Adrian played a lot of time in the first three quarters, even one minute more than LeBron James, who played 20 minutes. This created the best conditions for Adrian to improve his statistics.
While Adrian was happily brushing up data, the game had come to the last quarter.
