Beep.
The sound of the timer ending sounded.
142 to 135.
Team LeBron ultimately defeated Team Curry by 7 points.
After the game, Zhao Feiyang scored the most points, with a total of 37 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Ranked second is Isaiah Thomas, who scored 36 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
He is slightly weaker than Zhao Feiyang, but he is actually the best player on Team Curry. However, if Team LeBron wins, no matter how many points Thomas scores, it will be useless.
On Team LeBron, the second-leading scorer is LeBron James.
He scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
As the core figure of Team LeBron and the signature figure of the league, LeBron's performance in today's game was quite eye-catching, but his touch was not very good at the last moment.
If nothing else, there should be no suspense about who will win the All-Star Game MVP.
After a while, all the players on the scene stood together, and all the fans also stood up. The live camera was focused on the center of the court, and the cameraman gave a close-up of NBA President Adam Silver in the middle of the team.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present the MVP with his trophy!"
"Next I will announce...the MVP of the New Orleans All-Star Game is...Zhao Feiyang..."
This time there were no surprises.
The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean were overjoyed to watch the NBA All-Star Game live. They couldn't be happier to see their own star once again win the All-Star Game honor without any suspense.
Many people started posting comments in the online live broadcast room.
"Zhao Feiyang is awesome! He is the number one basketball player in China."
"Not only is he the first player, I'm afraid there won't be another player like him in fifty years!"
"Yao Ming's talent is very strong, but China may not be able to produce a Yao Ming in fifty years! After all, the first requirement for Chinese basketball players to select is height, so there is still hope for Yao Ming..."
"But the emergence of Zhao Feiyang is not enough. China's local basketball level and basketball system are really poor. If a genius like Zhao Feiyang had not been able to develop on his own, I am afraid that his talent would have been wasted by such a big environment... ..”
His eyes returned to the field.
After president Adam Silver announced that Zhao Feiyang had won the MVP of the All-Star Game, the live camera focused on Zhao Feiyang and gave a close-up. Under the gaze of countless people, Zhao Feiyang walked up to President Xiao Hua, shook hands with him, and then took the MVP trophy into his arms.
The moment he got the trophy, Zhao Feiyang was filled with emotions. Once upon a time, he was just a marginalized player who was abandoned, but now, he is an NBA superstar. It can basically be said that he is qualified to enter the Hall of Fame and can also be recorded in the history of the NBA.
At least as a yellow-skinned player, his achievements are huge.
Before him, there was only one Jeremy Lin who could go down in history, but behind him, it may be difficult for someone to surpass him and do all this for a long time.
"Thank you to the fans who support me! Thank you NBA!"
"For me, this is not the end. Life is like climbing over mountains. I will continue to climb those seemingly unreachable mountains until I conquer them and reach the top."
After delivering his speech, Zhao Feiyang walked off the court.
NBA All-Star Night has also officially come to an end.
After the game ended, Zhao Feiyang did not leave in a hurry. He took the initiative to walk to Thomas who was resting on the team bench.
"Hey, Isaiah, can we shake hands?"
"Um?"
Little Thomas was a little surprised.
"I don't mean anything else, I just admire you. Although you are almost a little bit this time, I believe you will have another chance in the future... Maybe you don't know, for many small players, you must be It will be their spiritual support..."
"Man, it's an honor to play against an opponent like you..."
After Zhao Feiyang said a few simple words, Thomas's face suddenly turned rosy. He was somewhat frustrated after failing to win the MVP before. After the game, he didn't even say a word or say hello to other players. He just sat alone on the team bench.
"Zhao, you are great too!"
"I believe you must be the spiritual leader of many Asian fans... We have all done the same thing... I am also honored to compete with you for this All-Star Game MVP... ..”
The two looked at each other, smiled, hugged and high-fived each other.
This is how the All-Star weekend ends.
It is not without gain for the Timberwolves. Three players participated in the game. Although Derrick Rose and Zach LaVine failed to win the award, Zhao Feiyang, as the leader of the team, got the All-Star Game. MVP.
After the All-Star Game ended, the regular season gradually came to an end.
The Minnesota Timberwolves also took advantage of this stage to launch an attack on the final place. The return of Derrick Rose and Zach LaVine made the team stronger. Zhao Feiyang, who won the All-Star Game, also led the team to continue to climb up. climb.
When they were rushing into the playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies, who were hovering on the edge of the playoffs, were also working hard. Under the command of the team's head coach Tom Thibodeau, although there were some discordant voices within the Grizzlies, they Overall, it remains stable enough.
Therefore, the Grizzlies also took this opportunity to continuously improve their ranking and strive to narrow the winning gap with their opponents.
Not only them, but other teams are also working hard. Any team that can make it to the playoffs is basically stabilizing its record.
Except for teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, they are not anxious at all.
Especially for the Cleveland Cavaliers, after the All-Star Game, LeBron James, as the core of the team, began to systematically reduce his playing time.
At the beginning, he could still play an average of about 30 minutes per game, but as time went on, LeBron's playing time became less and less. In a certain game between the Cavaliers and a weak team like the Philadelphia 76ers, he only played He ended early after 15 minutes.
Naturally, some fans are dissatisfied with this and think that LeBron's approach hurts the fans. After all, many people come to the game just to watch the stars play. Now that the stars are not playing and just choose to rest, wouldn't the fans who bought the tickets become the fans? A big injustice?
Seeing that there are more and more doubts from the outside world, LeBron can only choose to find an excuse to say that he has an injury and repair it.
Now the outside world has nothing to do with his actions!
After all, everyone has said that he has injuries. We can't let LeBron continue to play games with injuries, right?
Compared with the attitude of the outside world, the Cavaliers management is supportive of this. In particular, head coach Tyronn Lue is not only thinking of ways to let LeBron rest, but he is also looking for ways to let Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving rest, at the expense of the team's record.
At this time, the Cavaliers are ranked second in the Eastern Conference. For them, it doesn't matter even if they fall in the rankings. Anyway, what really matters is the playoffs.
The reason why the Big Three seize the time to rest is to perform strongly in the playoffs. Otherwise, if they consume too much in the regular season, they may suffer setbacks in the playoffs.
Unlike the Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors don't seem to have this idea.
With 6 All-Star players, they can be said to have a strong lineup, which is a huge threat to any team in the league.
According to common sense, the Warriors do not have that much money to sign so many players, especially superstars like Durant in the team. However, the Warriors originally signed Curry before the broadcast contract price increased significantly. The standard price contract at the time later became a child labor contract, which gave the Warriors more opportunities.
With such confidence, the Warriors did not think too much and directly chose to sprint to the final stage of the regular season. They had won 73 wins before. Although it was difficult to achieve this time, they were still doing their best to chase their victory.
Compared with them, the Timberwolves were simply miserable.
The team has to rely too much on core players because it wants to improve its record. This has led to a lot more playing time for Zhao Feiyang and LaVine. Inside players such as Ibaka and Adrian have also played longer than before.
Of course, even so, the pressure on the main players is definitely much less than when Coach Thibodeau was here!
