In the second half, Lian Dao came out again and threw three difficult three-pointers in succession, one of which was more like a juggling act.
It feels like Yao Ming is cooperating with Lian Dao.
Lian Dao stopped dribbling at the midline, and then hooked toward Yao Ming.
Yao Ming greeted him with a wry smile amidst the cheers of fans in the audience.
Dayao defended Lian Dao from the midline, and Lian Dao held the ball in the midline and hit Yao Ming with his back. The fans in the audience thought that Lian Dao was going to hit Yao Ming from the midline.
Unexpectedly, Lian Dao blocked Yao Ming with his back to the basket, and threw the ball backwards from the center line to the basket without looking at the basket.
The whole audience exclaimed, everyone stared at Lian Dao's extremely difficult three-pointer from long distance.
"brush!"
Scored a three-pointer with the LOGO behind his back!
The fans in the audience reached a collective climax again, and the cheers were deafening.
Although Lian Dao did not participate in the slam dunk contest and the three-point shooting contest, his performance in the main game definitely feasted the eyes of all fans.
However, the Eastern Conference eventually lost the game.
With 1 minute and 41 seconds left in the game, Williams made a layup after a steal, and the East trailed by only 1 point, 147-148.
The Eastern Conference had a good opportunity to take the lead, but Wade caught the ball shaky during the fast break and went out of bounds under the basket.
After the Western Conference missed a shot, it grabbed offensive rebounds twice. After Griffin dunked, the Western Conference led by 3 points, 150-147, with 37 seconds left in the game.
James wanted to respond with a three-pointer, but it missed the basket. Wade grabbed the rebound, caused a foul and made two free throws.
There is still a 1 point gap between the two sides.
In the West's next offense, Kobe was fouled, but he only made one of two free throws, leaving the West with 16.3 seconds.
When Lian Dao and Williams ran out of space at the same time, James' first choice was not to find Lian Dao, but passed the ball to Williams, but he missed a three-pointer.
After grabbing the rebound, James did not take a shot. When Lian Dao ran out of space again, he did not pass the ball to Lian Dao, but passed the ball to the inside. As a result, he made a mistake and was intercepted by Griffin.
In the end, Griffin was fouled in time, and Griffin also missed a free throw.
The East still had 1.1 seconds, though.
As long as it is executed properly, the Eastern Conference still has a chance to tie the score and send the game into overtime.
Everyone knows James's selfish motives in passing the ball twice before, but they all knew it tacitly.
However, for the final attack, everyone in the east didn't want their efforts to go to waste, so Lian Dao was chosen by everyone to be the executor of the final attack.
Although Coach Spoelstra is partial to his own stars, he can't help himself when it comes to everyone's opinions at this time.
However, Western Conference head coach Stock Brooks has already had a strategy in mind.
At the last moment, all the Western Conference players defended with Lian Dao as the core. As a result, he had no way to catch the ball. In the end, he had to hand the ball to Wade. Wade finally missed a three-pointer, and the Eastern Conference fell short.
The West narrowly defeated the East.
Lakers star Kobe Bryant set an All-Star scoring record, scoring 27 points in the game. His total All-Star game score reached 271 points, surpassing Chicago braised Michael Jordan and becoming the All-Star's highest scoring total.
players.
Kevin Durant scored 36 points and 7 rebounds, Russell Westbrook 21 points, Carmelo Anthony 19 points, Blake Griffin 15 points and 8 rebounds, the new "three-point king"
"Kevin Love hit 2 three-pointers and scored 17 points.
On the Eastern side, Lian Dao had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, LeBron James had 36 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Dwyane Wade had a triple-double and contributed rebounds, and Derrick Rose had 14 points. Derrick Rose came off the bench.
Ron Williams made 4 of 6 three-pointers and scored 20 points.
If the Eastern Conference wins, James and Wade are most likely to win the final MVP. According to Stern's character, they may win it together.
Having two MVPs on the same team is not only a good story, but also a good story for the league.
Unfortunately, Stern's wish did not come true. In the end, Durant won the All-Star Game MVP with 36 points and 7 rebounds.
However, Lian Dao doesn't care about winning or losing the All-Star Game or MVP.
After all, what is the All-Star Game MVP?
As the MVP winner of last season's regular season and finals, Lian Dao's goal this year is to defend the regular season MVP title!
Durant won an award like All-Star MVP which is not very valuable.
When interviewed after the All-Star Game, Lian Dao was still the most popular star among reporters. Even Durant, the All-Star MVP, could not match him.
Lian Dao was smiling when he was interviewed. He was not angry because he lost the game, nor was he angry because James didn't choose to pass the ball to him in the end.
Lian Dao and James came from the Eastern Conference together, and there was some grudge between the two teams.
Coupled with the fact that both players belong to the third position, the competition for the strongest small forward in the league that has been the hottest in the past two years has made the players on both sides not necessarily incompetent, but they have inevitably had friction with each other.
Therefore, Lian Dao also understood James' final passing choice. In the interview, Lian Dao did not criticize James' choice.
Moreover, this time Lian Dao originally participated in the All-Star Game with an entertaining attitude.
So in the interview, Lian Dao praised his teammates, including James, for their outstanding performance and how happy he was to be with them...
This also made Lian Dao fall in favor with many Eastern star players, and even changed Lian Dao's petty image for a time, except of course James.
Sometimes "praise" is more likely to produce results than "disparagement", so everything needs to be changed from a different perspective.
…
The All-Star Game ended on February 27. Lian Dao, Holiday, Stoudemire and others returned to New York the next day. They will also face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on February 29.
The Knicks played against the Cavaliers at home on February 29. Kyrie Irving, who had just won the Rookie Challenge MVP, experienced a big defeat after the All-Star break.
Facing the Cavaliers, the Knicks, playing at home, did not feel much of a challenge. They easily defeated the Cavaliers and won their first game after the All-Star break.
Irving's statistics so far are still very good, averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.
Of course, this data is incomparable to Lian Dao's rookie season.
Not to mention other things, just one thing: Lian Dao led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals in his rookie season.
In this regard, it is unlikely that subsequent rookies will break this record.
Lian Dao is tied with Tim Duncan and Larry Bird as the three strongest rookies in history.
Even James is far behind in such a status, let alone Irving now.
Just whether a rookie has good personal data is only part of it. Under this premise, how much the team's record can be improved is the ultimate reflection of his ability.
Irving obviously only has the ability to make his statistics look better, but he is unable to help the team improve too much.
Although it cannot be compared with Lian Dao, Irving's data is already very good compared to rookies in the same class.
Not surprisingly, at the end of the regular season, Kyrie Irving will become the Rookie of the Year.
With the victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks' games in February are over.
At the same time, Lian Dao continued to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month by averaging 28.2 points, 7 rebounds and 11.3 assists per game.
The Western Conference Player of the Month is new All-Star MVP Kevin Durant, who averaged 29.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in February.
In February, the Thunder played a total of 15 games and achieved a record of 12 wins and 3 losses.
The Knicks also played 15 games in February and achieved a record of 13 wins and 2 losses.
So far, the Knicks' record is 31 wins and 5 losses.
One win more than the Heat, ranking first in the league in record.
