Chapter 188 The high-end version of the warrior
At nine o'clock in the morning, the All-Star Game started on time.
The first thing to start with is the confrontation between the starters.
The starting five in the Eastern Conference are Pierce, Wade, James, Garnett and Howard.
The starting five in the Western Conference are Curry, Nash, Durant, Duncan, and Stoudemire.
Veterans such as Pierce, Garnett, Nash and Duncan are all regular All-Star players, and fans are already very familiar with them.
Even James and Wade have participated in several All-Star games.
The youngest face is Curry.
Curry has a delicate face, looks like a primary school student, and is a rookie, making him very special among these people.
However, the youngest one is not Curry, but Durant.
Curry was born on March 14, 1988, and Durant was born on September 29, 1988.
So in terms of age alone, Durant is younger than Curry.
However, Durant entered the NBA in the summer of 2007, two years earlier than Curry.
Although he entered the NBA two years earlier, Durant participated in the All-Star Game for the first time this year.
And this year, Durant was selected as an All-Star as a substitute.
This is quite different from Curry!
Curry was selected as the starter as a rookie!
And Curry is still the vote king!
Even on the MVP list, Curry is always ranked in the top three!
Especially recently, Curry has risen to the first place!
At the beginning of the season, no one believed that Curry could continue to perform well, even if the Warriors' record was incredible.
You are a rookie, no matter how good you are, you can only compete with those kids!
Compared with veterans like Kobe, Duncan, and Garnett?
You are still far away!
Even Mesozoic players like James and Wade look down on Curry.
You are still a child, why are you joining in the fun!
You are still young, the future is yours, don't come here to make trouble, go and have fun!
People subconsciously think that rookies are not related to All-Stars, voting champions, and MVPs!
You are a rookie!
Rookie!
All-Star?
Votes king?
MVP?
Go ahead and dream!
It's the beginning of the season.
In the days that followed, Curry's performance has been outstanding, leading the league in personal data, and his team record is unparalleled!
One-third of the season has passed, and everyone is beginning to look at this skinny kid with admiration.
Halfway through the season, the entire league has begun to focus on studying this kid!
At this point, if you continue to ignore him, that will be your problem!
Although Curry did not play well in a few games in the middle, who hasn't had a downturn?
The most important indicators for judging MVP are two: personal data and team record!
Curry leads the league in both indicators. How could you not choose him?
There is no rule that really says that a rookie cannot be elected to the All-Stars, cannot be the vote leader, and cannot be elected as the MVP!
The future is mine, but the present is also mine!
Many people are unconvinced when they see Curry's popularity, especially some veterans.
But in the face of actual data and results, these people slowly accepted this fact.
They're doing well, what's your objection?
Even if you don’t accept it, you will get the same result!
Strength still has to speak for itself on the field!
You are strong and your opponents recognize you.
Therefore, although Curry is a rookie, most veterans do not have much hostility towards Curry.
Of course, this is also related to Curry's easy-going, friendly and funny personality.
Due to Kobe's absence, Durant was brought into the starting lineup by Deng Fang.
Deng Fang is still very clear about Durant's strength.
It wouldn't hurt to have Durant and Curry work together earlier.
The All-Star game is meant to be an entertainment game, and generally speaking, no one will be fully committed to it.
Even the MVP of the All-Star Game is just a false honor.
When players compete with each other for historical status, the All-Star MVP is usually placed at the end.
It's better to have it, but it's okay not to have it.
Of course, the players will still become serious in the last two minutes of the game.
After all, we are all players, young, strong, and full of energy, and no one wants to lose.
As long as the score difference is not too big, everyone will work hard to win in the last two or three minutes.
Therefore, Deng Fang did not make any targeted arrangements before the game.
Let the team members make their own decisions, just have fun and have fun.
However, as soon as the game started, Deng Fang realized something was not right.
James' defense on Curry is too tight!
In terms of height, Wade and Pierce are the two shortest players on the Eastern Conference, and they should defend Curry and Nash.
It's only appropriate for James to defend Durant.
But James actually guarded Curry!
Pierce had to guard Durant, who was a head taller than him.
Not only that, James began to lead the defense in the frontcourt!
Wherever Curry goes, James will follow!
With James' height and weight, it would be difficult for Curry to catch the ball if his teammates don't cooperate.
And Duncan and Stoudemire didn't pay much attention.
When Curry couldn't catch the ball, he gave it to Nash.
They are all point guards anyway, and speaking from experience, maybe Nash is more reliable!
Curry has a funny character, and he doesn't care about James' defense.
Who knows if James is joking!
It doesn't matter if James is serious.
Anyway, All-Stars are just for entertainment, so forget it if you can’t catch the ball!
Just don’t spoil everyone’s fun!
Seeing that Curry didn't care, his teammates didn't say anything.
James shouldn't be so defensive, but no one says that the All-Stars can't really defend!
People are so serious, what can you say?
With James' close defense, Curry didn't even touch the ball five times in a row.
On the defensive end, it's just Curry, but the same goes for James on the offensive end.
As long as James gets the ball, he will let Wade come up and pick-and-roll with him.
Because Curry is guarding Wade!
After the pick-and-roll, James motioned for his teammates to pull away.
What to do?
Eat Curry alone!
one!
two!
Three!
…
With this Eastern Conference lineup, the ball is definitely in the hands of Wade and James.
And with the relationship between James and Wade, James basically controls all the ball rights!
Although Curry's defense is not very good, it is not that bad among defenders.
But guarding James alone is still not enough!
Which defender in the league can guard James alone?
With James's dominating step, as long as he charges up, no defender can stop him.
Especially this kind of entertaining game.
Curry doesn't care much about defense.
Isn’t it just entertainment?
Why bother!
as long as you are happy!
Several times in a row, James carried Curry to the basket like a bulldozer, then knocked Curry over and dunked.
After the dunk, James did not forget to glance at Curry on the ground:
Little one!
With your body like this, you still dare to fight with me?
Did you know that the basket is a reasonable collision area?
As long as I don't hit you from behind, even if I knock you down, it will be in vain!
This is the All-Star Game anyway, and your teammates are all improvised!
Who will help you defend?!
What's more, you are both from the West and compete fiercely with each other. If you are so popular, they can still laugh at you!
This is a dunk!
All Stars is all about the show!
I’ll show it to everyone!
I don’t dare to dunk in the dunk contest... No, I said it wrong, I don’t want to go. Do I still dare not dunk here?!
This chapter has been completed!
