Stoudemire made Wade and Rose next to him a little embarrassed, while Li Kaiming was a little surprised.
If the defender doesn't pass the ball next to you, why does he have to pass it to me?
What Li Kaiming didn't know was that he had scored consecutively before and was able to accurately find the open Stoudemire during the encirclement and suppression, which made the latter very convinced of him.
In the eyes of Stoudemire now, Li Kaiming is the most reliable person on the court now, so naturally he has to pass the ball to him.
Now that Stoudemire had passed the ball, Li Kaiming quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and then Sanders called a timeout.
There are 40 seconds left in the game, and the score difference between the two sides is 4 points. The Eastern Conference can definitely score one and then use foul tactics.
The stars surrounded Sanders, who was about to speak when Stoudemire next to him suddenly said, "Coach, let Lee control the ball, he has the greatest confidence!"
Sanders was stunned for a moment!
what's the situation? Why did Xiaosi still speak for Li Kaiming? And in front of other people!
Just when Sanders was in a daze, another person stood up. Ross, Li Kaiming's good senior, also supported him, "I think so too. Li made the right choice at the critical moment. We all believe in him."
Good guy! As Li Kaiming's coach, Sanders said all the things he was embarrassed to say!
Now only two people's attitudes are left, and the players' attention turns to Wade and James.
Wade saw that Li Kaiming had received the support of most people at this time. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only puff up his cheeks and said with a wry smile, "I feel the same way!"
James, who was sitting next to Wade, heard this and his eyes widened!
But before he could refute, he was called out by Stoudemire for questioning.
"Hey LeBron, what do you think?"
James:…
Although he was very reluctant, he still said bravely, "As long as I can win, I can do anything!"
The implication is that if the ball is lost, Li Kaiming will be blamed!
He is worthy of being a master of dividing the pot in history. Before the game was over, he had already allocated the pot in advance. No wonder some people often said later, "xxx lost, James did not lose!" The little emperor who co-authored "The Little Emperor" will never lose. !
However, Li Kaiming is not afraid of shouldering responsibilities. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Stoudemire and others trust him, so they will actively recommend him to be the one to control the ball at this critical moment.
And he would not live up to the expectations of these people, so he directly said to Sanders, "Coach, don't worry! Leave this ball to me!"
Sanders smiled and nodded, then patted Li Kaiming on the shoulder and said what he had said countless times this season.
"It's up to you, Lee!"
Li Kaiming nodded firmly, then raised his head and made eye contact with his teammates.
The trust of Stoudemire and Rose, the suspicion of James and Wade...
Everyone's attitude was clearly seen by Li Kaiming. He turned around and led the starting players back to the court.
The Eastern Conference served the ball in the frontcourt, and Marv Albert in the commentary box was a little undecided. "This offense is crucial for the Eastern Conference. I wonder who they will give the ball to? LeBron or Dwayne?"
"Is it possible that it's Li Kaiming?" Reggie Miller next to him interjected.
"This possibility is too small. Their team has two-time regular season MVP LeBron James, Finals MVP Dwyane Wade, and first-team player Amare Stoudemire. Everyone They are all stronger than Li Kaiming!" Albert directly rejected Reggie Miller's view.
At this time, Li Kaiming had already stood outside the sideline and took the basketball from the referee's hand.
Seeing that it was Li Kaiming who caught the ball, Albert smiled and said to Reggie Miller next to him, "Look, let me just say, at this time, the rookie can only do some serving work, let's see who catches the ball?"
While talking, Li Kaiming passed a through ball directly to Wade who was running out.
The defensive formation of the Western Conference also began to tilt towards Wade. Albert nodded, "There is no problem in sending it to Dwayne. He has played in the finals and will not be soft at such critical moments! I don't know if Coach Sanders gave Wade What tactics did De devise?"
However, the next moment, Albert's mouth was so shocked that he could fit two eggs into his mouth!
Because after receiving the ball at this time, Wade waited for Li Kaiming to enter the court and passed the ball directly to the latter!
"It seems that I guessed it right. Sanders chose to believe in his disciple. Li Kaiming is the strongest key ball player this season. It is a wise choice to give him the ball!" Reggie Miller was not surprised at all by this result. He has commented on many of Li Kaiming's games and knows that what this young man is best at is breaking the impossible.
Seeing that the Eastern Conference actually gave the ball to Li Kaiming, the Western Conference stars were a little surprised in their eyes!
However, their defensive adjustment was very quick. Duncan immediately stepped forward to prevent Li Kaiming from shooting a three-pointer, and the remaining players also moved closer to Li Kaiming, seemingly preparing to help Duncan make up for it. Defend.
The Eastern Conference was lagging behind, so Li Kaiming didn't have time to plan how to play, but he knew that the ball had to be scored!
So after receiving a hand-to-hand pass from Wade, Li Kaiming took a big step and started to kill inside.
Li Kaiming's speed exploded, and it was difficult for Duncan to keep up with him on the outside. He was passed by Li Kaiming directly. However, the Western Conference's help defense soon arrived. Both Kobe and Durant put their opponents on the line and came to double-team them. Li Kaiming.
If we were playing the regular season at this time and Nick Young and Lewis were standing outside, Li Kaiming would separate without hesitation.
But now Wade and James are standing on the outside. These two are undoubtedly better than their Wizards teammates, but when it comes to catch-and-shoot, I'm afraid these two can't compare to Lewis even if they are tied together.
It can be seen that the Western Conference's defense is also very targeted, letting go of the unreliable James and Way duo on the outside, which allows Kobe and Durant to help defend with confidence.
Therefore, the ball cannot be passed. If it is passed, it will play into Popovich's hands. Li Kaiming gritted his teeth, then lowered his head, lowering his center of gravity a little lower, as if flying close to the ground, directly from the side where Durant came. Rushed over!
Durant was startled when he saw Li Kaiming suddenly rushing over like crazy. When he was holding his breath and preparing to confront Li Kaiming, he didn't expect that the expected collision did not happen. The moment Li Kaiming came into contact with Durant, a The top turned around and dodged out from between Durant and Kobe!
Gasol, who was under the basket, had been waiting for a while, waiting for Li Kaiming to come to the door. However, Li Kaiming did not force the shot to the basket. After passing the second line of defense of Kobe and Durant, he directly pulled up and shot a mid-range jumper. !
Durant next to him reacted and wanted to block Li Kaiming, but he hit Li Kaiming firmly on the arm!
Snapped!
The referee on the scene immediately blew the whistle, but Li Kaiming's shot was already in the air!
Under the gaze of tens of millions of fans, the basketball hit the basket and then stumbled into the basket!
2+1!
After being quiet for a while, Staples Center was overwhelmed by a sudden burst of noise and noise!
Li Kaiming walked to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and made the extra free throw steadily, 142 to 141!
The three commentators in the commentary box all stood up, "Lee, great goal, the Eastern Conference has chased the score to 1 point left!"
Popovich directly called a timeout on the sidelines. There were more than 20 seconds left in the game, and the outcome became confusing for a while.
After the timeout, the Western Conference served to Kobe. Wade directly fouled and sent Kobe to the free throw line. Kobe made two free throws, 144 to 141.
The Eastern Conference sent a baseline kick, and Stoudemire passed it to Li Kaiming again. The latter dribbled the ball through half court. There were 15 seconds left and he had to hit one quickly.
The Western Conference began to double-team, and both Duncan and Durant came to defend Li Kaiming. However, James, who was facing Durant, was still standing outside the three-point line and had no intention of cutting inside.
Li Kaiming cursed in his heart, and then started directly with the ball. This time Durant was ready to defend Li Kaiming's sudden change of direction or turn. Unexpectedly, Li Kaiming directly started a tank breakthrough and rushed to the three-point line against the former.
Duncan is chasing behind, Durant is fronting him, and Gasol is watching eagerly behind.
However, Li Kaiming seemed to be crazy. He still pressed the accelerator to the bottom and ran for the basket.
Seeing that Durant couldn't guard him, Gasol slid in front of Li Kaiming. However, this was the moment Li Kaiming was waiting for, and he passed the ball from Gasol's crotch to Stoudemire under the basket.
Gasol's expression changed, and he immediately turned around to block Stoudemire. However, was Stoudemire so easily guarded when he got the ball under the basket?
boom!
With a loud noise, Stoudemire roared and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand through Gasol!
At the same time, the referee also called Gasol a pushing foul!
Li Kaiming rushed over, jumped up and collided with Xiaosi!
You give me trust and I will repay you! This is team basketball!
Stoudemire went to the free throw line and hit the extra free throw. The two sides tied at 144!
The Western Conference dribbled the ball past halftime. Popovich used the last timeout and arranged singles tactics for Kobe. After the game came back, the ball was sent to Kobe.
At this moment, neither side allowed the opponent's key players to play singles, and the Eastern Conference also began to double-team Kobe. However, Kobe was in the Staples Center, his own territory, facing the two-person service of James and Wade, and still chose to force his back!
The difficulty is very high and the sound of the iron is very crisp!
Li Kaiming protected the backcourt rebounds, and there were still 6 seconds left!
At this time, all he could see was the opposite basket. He took the ball and rushed forward, so fast that afterimages appeared on his legs!
In this most critical goal, the Western team was actually beaten into a fast break by Li Kaiming alone!
The main reason was that Li Kaiming was too fast. The Western Conference star reacted quickly, but was still thrown away. In the end, Duncan paid the price of a foul and sent Li Kaiming to the free throw line.
Many Lakers fans have already begun to boo Li Kaiming, because almost everyone believes that the protagonist of this All-Star Game should be Kobe, and this AmVp trophy also belongs to Kobe.
However, the appearance of Li Kaiming broke the fans' illusions! He became the biggest disruptor at Staples Center!
Facing the boos from the Lakers fans, Li Kaiming calmed down, then made two free throws. While retreating, he made a "silence" gesture to the audience on the bottom line!
144 to 146!
With three seconds left on the clock, the Western Conference served from the baseline, but Kobe missed a super long-range shot!
The whistle sounded, and the Eastern Conference won the All-Star Game!
After the game, Stoudemire and Rose took the remaining players and rushed over to hug Li Kaiming!
we won!
