Staples Center Arena.
On the last night of the All-Star Weekend, Team LeBron and Team Curry have entered the final stage of the game. The score between the two sides is 144 to 127, with Team LeBron leading Team Curry by 17 points.
There are only 1 minute and 11 seconds left before the end of the game.
All the fans in the stadium have stood up.
At this point in the game, everyone knew the outcome was decided. The only thing that fans are looking forward to is the final ownership of the MVP.
At this time, Stephen Curry scored the most points on the Curry team. He scored a team-high 27 points and also sent 6 assists.
Ranked second is Zhao Feiyang, who scored the team's second-highest 24 points, and also had 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Ranked third is James Harden.
It's just that his data is still far behind the two, and he only scored 17 points. Judging from the book data alone, the person most likely to win the MVP currently is Curry.
On the court.
Team Curry attacked, but Team LeBron was still on defense after halftime. Curry transferred the ball to Zhao Feiyang on the wing. Zhao Feiyang had no intention of shooting, but Draymond Green, who was receiving the ball inside, waved at him, and Zhao Feiyang had to give up his plan to pass the ball.
Kyrie Irving also came to him at this time. Before Zhao Feiyang threw the basketball, Irving stretched out his hand to actively mark him.
Regarding this situation, Zhao Feiyang did not hesitate anymore. He made a fake move to test and then opened the distance and took action directly.
This time, Irving's defense was quite good. The moment Zhao Feiyang threw the basketball, it blocked his sight. However, even so, Zhao Feiyang still sent the ball steadily into the basket.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
After the basketball fell into the basket, fans throughout the Staples Center arena screamed with excitement. There is no doubt that scoring this goal helped Zhao Feiyang achieve the same statistics as Curry, which made the MVP battle between the two very complicated.
Team LeBron quickly struck back, only this time it failed to score.
When the ball returned to Curry's team again, Curry got the ball and sent a pass to Green inside. Unfortunately, Green was half a beat too slow to react after receiving the ball, and the basketball fell out.
LeBron once again seized the opportunity to attack, but unfortunately after the serve, no one except Irving had any intention of attacking. Not only that, Team Curry no longer intends to continue to defend.
Irving rushed across half court and dunked. After he scored, he realized that no one was catching up to defend him. He felt bored and couldn't help but shake his head.
In the last 11 seconds, Curry held the ball across the half court. After reaching the half court, all the players on both sides had stood up.
Obviously, everyone is waiting for him to shoot the basketball. Regardless of whether the ball is scored or not, the game will be over!
Curry made a decisive move with the entire audience watching.
Snapped.
A moment later the basketball bounced out of the basket.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was officially over.
147 to 129.
The 18-point difference made Team LeBron's loss a bit unsightly this time. But after all, it was an exhibition match, and the players were all enjoying themselves and did not care too much about winning or losing.
After the game, all eyes were focused on the middle of the court. League president Adam Xiao Hua was not in a hurry to appear, and the referees on the side were also discussing something. It seemed that the data of Zhao Feiyang and Curry gave them a hard time.
At the same time, many fans watching the live broadcast in China on the other side of the ocean also became nervous.
"Holy crap! Zhao Feiyang's statistics are almost the same as Curry's! What's going on?"
"Curry's assists are about the same as Zhao Feiyang's rebounds, but I think Zhao Feiyang's data is more comprehensive... How about I make the decision and award the MVP trophy to Zhao Feiyang?"
"Although I like Curry very much, Zhao Feiyang is one of our own! So I reluctantly award the MVP trophy to Zhao Feiyang! I hope Curry will continue to work hard in the next term..."
"No matter who the MVP trophy belongs to! This All-Star Game is very interesting, especially the performance in the first quarter is simply amazing! I originally thought that Zhao Feiyang's statistics would be very bad if he couldn't fly into the sky, but now it looks like His performance is not that bad, even if he only relies on three-pointers, he will definitely become a first-class star in the league..."
After a brief discussion, the official side finally came to a conclusion.
The moment president Adam Silver appeared on the court, everyone knew the critical moment was coming! With fans around the world watching, Xiao Hua picked up the trophy and walked to the middle of the court to announce the final result.
"Ladies and gentlemen...the MVP of this All-Star Game is Stephen Curry...and Zhao Feiyang..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. Many players spontaneously applauded the two, and many fans also stood up and cheered.
More Chinese fans watching the live broadcast were even more amazed.
"Happy ending! They are all my favorite players!"
"I have to say that these two are indeed the biggest contributors to this game!"
After a brief period of surprise, the Chinese fans quickly accepted the result.
After all, this is not the first case. There have been previous examples of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant winning the MVP trophy together in the All-Star Game.
It is an entertainment game anyway, so of course the MVP trophy can belong to two people.
The moment they learned the result, Zhao Feiyang and Curry couldn't help laughing. They walked up to each other and hugged each other, then walked to President Xiao Hua to receive the trophy, and together they raised the MVP trophy in front of the attention of fans around the world.
The All-Star Game has finally come to an end.
Interestingly, in the press release issued by the media after the game, an authoritative American media posted a photo of the two winning MVP at the same time to the non-sports section.
After reporting the matter, this media used a very "patterned" description, "In the All-Star Game, China's best basketball players and the United States' best basketball players won the MVP honor together. Their performance on the court The performance is just like the fate of the two countries, China and the United States, off the court. They confront each other and need each other..."
After this article was published, many netizens commented below.
"The lone traveler of Chinese basketball! He single-handedly played an unforgettable performance in a foreign country! Single-handedly changed the outside world's view of Chinese basketball players... Maybe at this stage, Chinese basketball is still There is a lot of room for improvement, but this does not mean that Chinese basketball will continue to sink..."
"Perhaps one day, such smart and talented Chinese players will, like their predecessors, cross the Pacific and make their own names in this world-class top league..."
