The situation on the field began to reverse.
At this time, Anthony took the initiative to ask James to pass the ball.
After successive attacks with no results, he just didn't believe in evil anymore, and he was determined to get into one.
For the "obsessed" Anthony, James had no choice but to hand the ball to his good brother.
In the final analysis, it can only be said that the two people's current pursuits and vision patterns are different.
Back in 2003, when they first joined the league, both of them were hailed as the future faces of the league. This was indeed the case for at least the first three years.
But later, as James continued to exert his strength, his career also went further and further on the road to goat; on the other hand, Anthony was more inclined to pursue stand-up singles and money.
Who is still young, but after the frivolous period, when he reached thirty years old, Anthony realized that he had won very few personal honors in his career.
The only one who took action was the one who won the scoring title just two years ago.
Therefore, he cherishes this opportunity to host the All-Star Games in New York and wants to win an MVP award for his honor book in the sky.
Although it is generally recognized by the outside world that among the three major MVP awards in the NBA, the regular season MVP is absolutely supreme, with countless superstars chasing after it every season.
The award of Finals MVP, to be honest, was quite valuable before Iguodala was selected as the Finals MVP in 2015.
From 1969, when Jerry West became the first Finals mvp, to Iguodala in 2015, among the 46 finals mvp winners, the winners in most years were all top players in the league. top star of the year.
Let’s not mention the 1980s and 1990s. After all, they are a bit far away. Take the previous Finals MVPs in the past 20 years as an example. They are generally considered by the outside world to be relatively weak, or rather controversial. They are as follows: :
Chauncey Billups in '04;
Tony Parker in 2007;
Kawhi Leonard ’14;
And Andrew Iguodala in '15!
If you think about it carefully, before Iguodala appeared, even the controversial trio of Billups, Parker, and Leonard won the Finals MVP in the season, and Parker was selected to the All-NBA Team in the 2006-07 season. Star substitute; Leonard was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team; Billups quickly ushered in the highlight period of his career and was selected to the All-Star for 5 consecutive years.
Only Iguodala was neither selected to the All-Stars, nor to the All-NBA Team, or to the All-Defensive Team in the season when he was the MVP of the Finals. The only time he was selected to the All-Stars in his career was with the 75ers. After arriving with the Warriors, , is no longer in his prime, and has never received any personal honors since then.
But don’t forget, that’s what happened in the original history. Here, the 2014 Finals champion was the Portland Trail Blazers. Leonard did not win the Finals MVP, and the gold content of this award was once again watered down.
The success of turning the Finals MVP into the Iguodala Award has not yet happened. Therefore, the Finals MVP is still a very important personal top honor award.
Of course, a championship is far away from Anthony, let alone a finals MVP?
Therefore, Anthony will focus all his energy on the All-Star MVP, which is the last of the three major MVP awards.
No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
Besides, since the beginning of the new century, players who have won All-Star MVP awards, such as Iverson, Kobe, Garnett, O'Neal, James, Wade, and Wang Zelin, are all superstars.
Before Wang Zelin, that is, before 2012, all the players who won the All-Star MVP were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after retirement, except for one Glen Rice.
Among the players who have won the Finals MVP in the past, two of them (Cedric Maxwell and JoJo White) have not been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after retiring.
If you think about it this way, it seems that the All-Star MVP is not as worthless as imagined. Even to a certain extent, among players who can win the All-Star MVP and become a star among stars, the probability of being a parallel player is lower than that of the Finals MVP.
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Back to the game.
This time, Anthony succeeded in a post-up shot against Aldridge, once again adding to his scoring data.
Facts have once again proved that unless it is a ghost, it is almost impossible for a scorer like Anthony to feel cold all night.
The game is now at 152:142, and the point difference is still double digits.
But time is really running out. There are still 2 minutes and 07 seconds left before the end of the game. Wang Zelin understands that it is difficult to recover the score simply by scoring two points. He must grab three points.
So, under everyone's attention, Wang Zelin suddenly made a long pass, and the basketball went straight to the Eastern team's half.
James was staring at the ball in the air and immediately followed it.
The ball was passed very high, because otherwise it would have been intercepted by the Eastern team, and it was also very fast. Even if they wanted to grab three points, ordinary players would have to take a short time to adjust after receiving it.
"The ball was passed high and fast, Wang was a little too hasty!"
Buckley shook his head.
Not only him, but James on the court also thinks so.
The basketball finally flew to No. 30 of the Eastern Team-Stephen Curry!
Curry jumped high, and the basketball carried a huge impact, which made his hands numb.
"Finally got here."
At this time, James also chased after him, feeling slowly relieved, and then hurriedly jumped on Curry as he fell.
"LeBron has the complete height advantage and he locked up Steph!"
However, just when Barkley came to a conclusion, he saw Curry fall from the air and take a quick shot towards the basket.
Curry fell directly to the floor because his body leaned back too far.
What about basketball?
The basketball continued to rise, reaching its highest point even exceeding the top edge of the backboard, and then fell rapidly, hollowing into the net.
"This..." James felt goosebumps all over his body. This may be the most exaggerated three-point shot he has ever seen on the All-Star stage.
But they actually got in!
Even Wang Zelin, who passed the ball to Curry, was stunned. He really didn't expect Curry to be able to hit a difficult three-pointer!
At this time, he had already rushed to the center circle and was about to go to meet Curry.
But as the basketball hit the net, Madison Square Garden was silent for a second, as if time had stopped.
However, that is just "the calm before the storm"!
After a second, the whole place exploded.
On the big screen at Madison Square Garden, the slow play of the difficult three-pointer just now appeared!
Harden, who was at the top of the arc, ran excitedly to Curry and pulled him up from the ground with both hands.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack..."
The cheers and slogans supporting the victory of the Western Star team became louder and louder, even overwhelming the Eastern Star team with host Anthony.
"LeBron, let me do it!"
Melon's expression at this time was even more bitter than bitter melon. He gritted his teeth and shouted to James.
"Um!"
After coming back to his senses, James also responded as a good brother.
After the Western team scored, the Eastern team failed to complete a quick offensive and defensive transition and could only fall into position.
James is Anthony's position, and then gives the ball to him for a low single.
But this time, the defender he faced became No. 36 Wang Zelin. Wang Zelin was much higher than him, and he was also recognized as the strongest defender in active service.
Anthony's pull-up jumper with continuous changes of pace was interfered by Wang Zelin, and Aldridge turned around to collect the rebound.
When the Western team arrived in the frontcourt, they first focused on the most reliable inside line.
James saw that Bosh couldn't guard him and hurriedly moved in to double-team.
Wang Zelin gave the ball back to Harden in time. Harden got an open three-point opportunity.
The bearded man took direct action from the outside.
Swish——!
The ball went into the basket steadily, 152:148, and the Western team chased the point difference to only 4 points.
"Now there is still a 4-point gap between the two teams. It's time for the most exciting star showdown. Cheers! Screams!"
Driven by the on-site commentary, all the fans began to shout wildly, and the waves of sound made all the players subconsciously lick their dry lips.
Awakening, it’s hunting time!
Wang Zelin's scarlet eyes kept moving on the players of the Eastern Star Team, and finally locked on the Eastern Conference captain James.
At this point, you must not be able to sit still, right?
The Eastern team attacks again.
James and Anthony looked at each other with solemn expressions, both feeling extremely stressed!
This goal must be scored, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain.
James stopped passing the ball and started to exert force.
After four years in college at Miami, his personal offensive arsenal has no shortcomings, except for the innocuous free throw.
At the last moment, Harden also sacrificed his life and exerted his strength on the defensive end. When a star player really wants to defend, especially a heavy guard like Harden, the intensity is still very high.
He underestimated that James, the target, could not be stopped by anyone.
Relying on James's long two-point hit, the Eastern team once again stabilized the situation.
But turn around.
On the offensive end, outside the three-point line on the right wing, at a 45-degree angle, Lillard suddenly stopped and then pulled up on the spot...
No one expected that Hillard's attack would be so decisive, and it didn't look like he was making a move out of anger!
"Rebound!"
Bosh and James roared, and you turned and rushed to the basket.
"Uh-huh!"
There was another crisp sound of the net passing through, and their expressions instantly froze.
Enter again?
In the blink of an eye, Curry, Harden, and Lillard each hit a three-pointer. Their touch seemed to be contagious. If you score one, I have to follow suit.
This is the terrifying power of the three-pointer in the small ball era!
In the small ball era when three-pointers are prevalent, let alone a 10-point score difference, but a 20-point score difference, as long as the leading side is not paying attention and the lagging side is feeling overwhelming, it will take three to five minutes to quickly catch up. score.
In the next round, James broke through and passed the ball to Korver who was squatting in the bottom corner.
It is a pity that Korver, who touched the ball for the first time in the second half, has already lost his touch. Even the top marksman will lose his touch if he does not touch the ball for a long time.
What's more, Cole is only a good starter in the league at best. How can his self-regulation ability match that of a star?
In the end, the three-pointer from the bottom corner missed the frame.
Korver betrayed James' trust!
Wang Zelin jumped up, grabbed the blue board, and quickly handed it to Curry.
Ku Ritian, who was obviously open, just passed the center circle and was still two steps away from the three-point line. He suddenly stopped and threw a three-pointer directly in front of the dull eyes of the audience!
"???"
Now, everyone couldn't sit still.
No, can the three-pointer still be played like this?
What is the difference between this kind of range and passing half-way, which is equivalent to entering the effective fire coverage area.
154:154, the Eastern team was completely fooled.
No, we were leading by ten points not long ago. Why did the score suddenly equalize?
Is this scientific? Is this reasonable? Doesn't he still talk about the king's law?
…
The Western team's Curry, Harden, and Lillard suddenly rained three-pointers from the outside, helping the team equalize the score. Now with Wang Zelin in charge, the rebounds are almost guaranteed to be intact.
Although the Eastern team finally tried to counterattack, facing Curry, who hit the sea with three points tonight, and Wang Zelin, the patron saint of progress, right? After the equalizer, they firmly maintained their advantage.
In the end, the Western team relied on its internal and external momentum in the second half of the fourth quarter to defeat the Eastern Stars 158:155!
When I wanted to win, I tried my best, but when I really lost, the Eastern team, except for Anthony, the rest of the team didn't think they had anything to play for.
To put it bluntly, this is just an All-Star game. It has no impact on the regular season record and has nothing to do with the playoffs.
It is really a player's instinct to want to go all out when facing a game!
Especially among the leading All-Star players in the league, this instinct is engraved in their bones.
Instead of being upset about losing, now, well, I'm more curious about how to win this year's mvp?
From a data perspective, Wang Zelin scored 44 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks and 1 steal.
In the All-Star Game, he was the first player to score 40+ 4×4 statistics. It is unprecedented, and maybe the latter is also unprecedented. This statistics is absolutely luxurious!
But don’t forget, the one who performed most dazzlingly in the final quarter was Stephen Curry, who had a harmless baby face. Physics hit 4 three-pointers in the final quarter and also set a new record.
In terms of personal statistics, Curry, who scored 24 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals tonight, also performed very well. Especially those difficult fallback three-pointers against James, which were once considered by many to be an important reason for the West's perimeter groups to become more comfortable.
At this time, the Eastern Conference stars who lost the game were also silently looking forward to Curry being elected as the All-Star MVP.
In this way, Wang Zelin will definitely become the strongest wage earner in the history of celebrities, the kind that no one can match!
If this is really done, the dramatic effect will definitely reach the sky!
After a while, a simple awards stage was set up in the center of the stadium, and the league president, Mr. Adam Joke, came to a Midwestern All-Star with a microphone.
In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, the joke did not say any nonsense, but said it neatly and handed the trophy to Wang Zelin:
"The winner of this year's All-Star MVP is...Wang Ze Lin!!!!"
"Let us congratulate the king. This honor is absolutely well-deserved!"
"Oh God, what did I see? Unanimously elected MVP!"
"Thank you Wang! We were able to enjoy such a wonderful game!"
"..."
At the same time, TV commentators from various countries who were broadcasting the event in real time also expressed praise for Wang Zelin!
"Kacha kacha kacha..."
At this moment, countless flash lights lit up.
Amid everyone's praise, Wang Zelin held the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other. After expressing some remarks, he walked into the player tunnel with satisfaction.
"Guys, let's go, let's decide the place tonight, make appointments with all the beauties, and all the money spent by anyone will be on our head!"
When all the stars in the Western Conference returned to the locker room, Wang Zelin put down the trophy and shouted to everyone.
"Ouch! We won't be polite."
“It’s time to make a killing!”
"I won't come home until I get drunk tonight!"
A group of big men took off their jerseys and waved them excitedly.
At this time, Westbrook turned to look at Durant. He knew that his eldest brother and Wang Zelin had never dealt with each other, and he might not necessarily accept Wang Zelin's kindness.
So, he decided that if Durant was unwilling to go, then he would have no choice but to follow his elder brother back to Tieling.
But before that, it’s better to ask.
"Kevin, it's a rare treat for the king tonight, shall we go?"
Westbrook asked cautiously.
"..." Durant was silent for a moment, then nodded fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Go, why not go!"
Now that he can have sex with Wang Zelin for free, he has no reason not to go!
The last group of people arrived at the largest nightclub in New York. Wang Zelin counted a few, and there were at least two women accompanying a man. At a glance, there were at least thirty or fifty people.
Oops!
Isn't that guy Durant? Think he won't come?
Wait, that guy actually called four girls at once. Doesn’t he plan to get a pair of kidneys tonight?
That's too much!
After Mr. Wang sternly condemned the corruption of capitalist society in his heart, as soon as he turned around, a group of goblins pounced on him and surrounded him.
The hugs didn't stop, but when I looked down...
No, no one told him that the little fairies here are so understanding of human clothes!
