"Wang Zelin scored 2 1! He is in very good condition. His personal score has reached 35. It is very likely that tonight he will break the highest scoring record in All-Star history..."
On the commentary table, Barkley also became excited.
Front row auditorium.
Behind the bench area of the Western Team sat Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki and others. Although they did not play due to their own reasons, they still came to the scene.
Support the West team's games.
At this time, after hearing Bakry's words, Kobe looked at the big screen. Now Wang Zelin's personal data is 35 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.
However, this data will definitely skyrocket.
Because there is still half a quarter before the end of the game, based on his understanding of Wang Zelin, this guy will definitely score crazily next.
People who are used to winning,
It is difficult to accept failure.
By the way, what is the highest scoring record in All-Star history?
Thinking of this, Kobe took out his phone and quickly found the information he wanted.
The record for the highest score in a single game of the NBA All-Star Game belongs to the ancient mythical beast Wilt Chamberlain, the number one stat maniac in history. He scored 42 points in the 1962 All-Star Game, and this record has been maintained to this day.
Half a century has passed.
Ranked second is Michael Jordan, the god of basketball who scored 40 points in the 1988 All-Star Game!
Then there were 38 points shared by former Warriors legend Rick Barry, "Big Brother" Kevin Durant and "White Monster" Blake Griffin.
After that were Garnett's 37 points in 2003 and Kobe's 37 points in 2011.
These are the players in NBA history who have scored more than 37 points in the All-Star Game.
According to Wang Zelin's current performance, becoming the eighth player in history to score more than 37 points in the All-Star Game is a sure thing; becoming the third player in history to score more than 40 points is also a matter of extra effort.
Even, it is not impossible for him to score 42 points in this game.
Therefore, Kobe showed the information on his phone to Deng Kai, Nowitzki and others next to him one by one. These veterans watched the court with interest. How far will Wang Zelin take the game?
…
The Eastern team attacks.
143:132,
The point difference is approaching single digits.
There were cheers everywhere.
Don't look at the fact that the All-Star Game has never been divided into home and away games.
But the Madison Square Garden beneath our feet is, after all, the home of the Knicks.
And the Knicks are an Eastern Conference team, so fans naturally prefer the Eastern Conference team subconsciously.
After halftime.
James didn't intend to hold the ball too much, and he didn't want to play any organization at this time. He gave the ball to Anthony, who immediately took the ball and set up a triple threat to beat Aldridge alone.
However, Aldridge defended very seriously and followed closely, preventing his shots.
Wang Zelin flew up and grabbed the rebound to Harden.
Turning his head, Harden looked towards the frontcourt... Good guy, Black Bear Zach Randolph, who used to play slowly and even take two steps to run, is so active today that people wonder if he is possessed by someone else?
At this time, seeing Randolph quickly insert into the basket, Harden made a long pass and guided it accurately.
Randolph easily dunked the ball after getting the ball.
143:135, the Western team chased the point difference to 8 points!
Randolph came back from the defense and hugged Harden excitedly. Finally, he imitated O'Neal's sexy moves back then and kissed Harden hard on the head with his thick lips.
"Ah...what?"
Amid the roars of laughter from the fans at the scene, Harden was frightened and backed away repeatedly.
The Eastern team attacks again.
Anthony hit Harden out of position and thought he could score easily.
But people were embarrassed to see that Anthony in the low post couldn't resist Harden, and his jumper from close range missed the frame.
"Snapped!"
Leap high and grab the 17th rebound tonight.
"Quick attack! Quick attack! Quick attack..."
Some of the spectators at the scene who supported the victory of the Western team shouted excitedly.
Harden holds the ball and accelerates forward.
At this time there was a voice faster than him.
Damian Lillard!
After halftime, Lillard had already rushed to a 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line in the frontcourt, and Irving was slowly chasing him.
After seeing it, he could smash the ball directly towards Lillard.
Boom...a powerful ground pass!
At this time, Irving reacted, but was already several positions behind Lillard. He reached out to intercept, but was blocked by Lonely.
"Snapped!"
Lillard stood outside the three-point line in the blink of an eye, looked back, caught the ball passed by Harden, and pulled it up on the spot.
Swish——!
With a perfect arc, the water splash sounded.
There were exclamations at the scene.
143:138, the difference between the two sides is only 5 points.
More importantly, after returning from the timeout, the Eastern team has been unable to score, seeming to be stuck in an embarrassing scoring drought.
On the other hand, the Western Team, led by the Western Team Captain Wang Zelin, quickly launched a counterattack and hit the opponent with a 9:0 climax.
no?
This can never go on like this!
Eastern team coach Mike Budenholzer was so anxious that he called another timeout.
Players from both teams return to the dugout.
"Haha, well done, Wang. If you score a few more goals, we can defeat the Eastern Team!"
As soon as Wang Zelin returned to his seat and sat down, Westbrook came over and patted him on the shoulder.
Looking at the other party's hearty smile, he also smiled back: "Don't worry, we have defeated each other for several years in a row, and this year will be no exception."
Crack!
After seeing this scene, Durant couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
I knew it, I knew that kid had been eyeing Russell for a long time.
Durant suddenly thought that since Wang Zelin entered the league in 2012, he had had some verbal exchanges with his second brother outside the game more than once.
Now the two of them have started fighting directly in front of them!
How could he endure this?
So, Durant decided...
After the All-Star Game is over, he will apply for two more alt accounts and spend the whole night fighting King Zelin online.
If Wang Zelin knew what Durant was thinking at this time, he would probably only feel confused and speechless.
What does this mean?
The opponent on the court belongs to the opponent, but this does not affect his interaction with Westbrook off the court.
These are obviously two different things!
He even said that if Durant is willing, he can...
Emmm, when Wang Zelin thought about the tradition of stepping on his former teammates after someone leaves the team, he suddenly felt that it would be better for him and someone to maintain a normal relationship as rivals, not friends or anything like that.
Not to mention the various strange thoughts the two of them had in their minds.
During the timeout, Coach Terry also made his own personnel adjustments.
Since we want to chase points, we naturally have to arrange more scoring points on the court.
In fact, Randolph's scoring ability is quite good, but his pace is too slow after all. Occasionally fast breaks are okay, but he will definitely lose his ability if he plays too much.
Therefore, the special coach chose to take down Randolph and replace him with...
The current three-point king - Stephen Curry!
That's right, next, the Western Conference Stars will play a three-back combination.
The reason why he dared to put up such a bold formation was largely due to Wang Zelin's terrifying help defense inside the three-point line and his absolutely dominant ability to protect the basket.
Similar to "Warcraft" Howard's one-star and four-shooting system, this is his final change in this game.
When Wang Zelin learned that he was going to partner with the 2009 duo of Curry and Harden, he felt a little bit of excitement in his heart.
hiss!
In the previous life, these two were well-known mvp-level players. One was the current number one point guard, and the other was the current number one shooting guard. Together with these two, they played a one-star game...
It's simply not too outrageous.
The pause ends.
Players from both teams reappeared.
The Eastern Conference also made personnel adjustments, with Mike Budenholzer fielding a lineup of Wall, Korver, James, Anthony and Bosh.
The biggest change is naturally the backcourt combination, from Owen Giba to Wall Korver.
Mike Budenholzer arranged this, not to say that the latter pair is stronger than the previous one, but to maximize the chemical reaction of the on-court lineup headed by James.
With James here, there is basically no shortage of organizational points and outside attack launching points.
Irving's defense is too poor, and Jiba's outside shooting is too poor. Replacing them with Wall, who has better defense, and Korver, the outside three-point turret, would be a better choice.
Secondly, the candidate for the center position has changed from Cousins to Bosh.
When this lineup came out, Barkley on the commentary desk said that the coach of the Eastern Stars was crazy and replaced Bosh to face Wang Zelin. This was Chi Guoguo's food-giving behavior!
However, when the game started, the Eastern team suddenly picked up the pace and started attacking crazily.
Budenholzer is still very tactical and has his own trade-offs.
Tonight, Wang Zelin was on the verge of breaking the record under the main defense of Cousins. Since he already knew that his center could not guard the opponent's core point, he simply came up with this lineup without a center.
It has only one purpose, and that is to push the speed of attack to the extreme!
The purpose of bringing out Bosh is not to fight with Wang Zelin, but to let him serve as an outside fort. It is best to bring Wang Zelin out of the penalty area.
Then, watch Wall and James' various crazy attacks on the frame.
This is Budenholzer's main role in sending him on the field.
The sudden change of the Eastern team really caught Wang Zelin and others off guard at first, causing them to frequently miss people on the defensive end.
Coupled with Lillard, Harden's three-point touch suddenly lost power.
Two minutes later, 150:140, the Eastern team opened the point difference to double digits again.
Do you want to call a timeout?
At this time, during a return to defense, Coach Terry and Wang Zelin looked at each other, and the consciousness in the former's eyes was very obvious.
But soon, Wang Zelin waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
In the frontcourt, James patiently organized on the outside.
Now that we are 10 points ahead of the opponent, there is no need to waste any time. Just be patient and hit the success rate.
However, James' approach is actually the best way to win safely, but some people don't think so.
who?
Carmelo Anthony!
As the host, Melo's ultimate goal for this year's All-Stars is to compete for amvp, and before the game, he told the members of the Banana Boat Brothers about his intentions early in the game.
Wade and James both expressed support for this, and James even helped convince other star fans of the Eastern Team.
It's a pity that when Guagua was given a chance, he didn't seem to be able to do it well!
He has played 31 minutes so far, which is the most in the Eastern team. However, he only scored 24 points, ranking third in the team.
In front of him were Irving's 29 points and James' 25 points.
At this time, Anthony and Bosh happened to go in under the basket. Seeing Aldridge follow up, I immediately made a pick-and-roll screen and tried my best to let Anthony rush to the basket.
At this time, James, who was aware of the situation under the basket, saw Anthony reaching out and without thinking much, he immediately gave the ball in.
With a snap, Anthony caught the ball, turned around and jumped up, raised the ball above his head with both hands, and was about to smash it down...
On the other side, Wang Zelin was also very close to the basket. After Anthony received the ball and took off, he jumped up with the latter, turned sideways in the air, and pressed the ball that hit the basket with his left hand.
"Snapped!"
Anthony dunked with both hands, and the ball hit Wang Zelin's hand.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the two collided with each other, and the Western Stars were knocked upside down under the basket.
"oh!!!"
The whole audience exclaimed.
But the referee did not blow the whistle and the game continued.
The ball turned over quickly after it hit the ground. Seeing that it was about to go out of bounds, Aldridge fell directly to the floor, grabbed the ball in his hand first, and threw it towards Lillard.
Lillard passed to Curry, who and James almost rushed toward the Eastern Stars' frontcourt.
This picture always feels familiar to many people.
As the two of them got closer and closer to the Eastern basket, Curry jumped up in front and rushed to the basket.
The take-off height seems to be just right for a dunk.
Behind him, although James jumped from the back heel, the speed of his body's rise was far faster than the former.
Wait, isn't this James' iconic chasing hat?
Countless fans had an idea flash in their minds, stood up excitedly, and started cheering.
Will everything really go as they wish?
"???"
James clapped his hand and suddenly found that the basketball in front of him was gone.
hiss!
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"boom!"
Behind him, a huge force suddenly struck, knocking James out of the air.
After landing, James flew all the way out of bounds. Just as he was about to turn back, a deafening sound came from his ears.
He was so familiar with this sound. Every time he dunked a tomahawk, the same sound came out.
"Stephen, that's a good pass!"
"Thank you, you did a great job!"
Wang Zelin and Curry smiled and high-fived each other. Neither of them expected that their first space cooperation at the All-Star Game would be so in tune with each other.
"Pa bang bang..."
At this time, there was constant applause, accompanied by bursts of exclamations.
Under the basket of the Eastern Stars, when Wang Zelin, Curry, and James looked up at the same time and saw the big screen, they reacted.
On the large LED screen at the scene, Wang Zelin's personal score in a single game was clearly displayed as: 43!
With more than two minutes left before the end of the game, after an alley-oop dunk just now, Wang Zelin's single-game scoring in this All-Star Game has officially surpassed Wilt Chamberlain, who once ranked first in history.
42 points...
Since then, the individual single-game scoring record in the All-Star Game has reached a new high.
