Chapter 424 Spinning, Spinning
In fact, when Yuan Qingshan was still in the NCAA Kentucky Wildcats, Wade accompanied James to watch his games. At that time, he gave Wade the impression that he had good ball skills and average physical fitness, which did not match his advanced consciousness; he was serious about defense, but unfortunately his physical talent was limited and his restraint ability was not strong.
"It's good to be in the first round." This was Wade's evaluation of Yuan Qingshan at the time.
Wade remembers very clearly that after LeBron heard what he said, he was very noncommittal, and assured him that this kid would definitely become an All-Star, but Wade didn't take it seriously.
However, in just one year, James' prediction has come true.
It wasn't until Wade saw Yuan Qingshan's nickname "Super Evolution" on the Internet that he finally realized clearly that this kid was by no means simple.
From a marginal player in the NCAA to a starter in the NBA, Yuan Qingshan's progress far exceeded Wade's expectations.
Look back to the field.
With 4 seconds left before the end of the game, Curry ran to the flank like crazy, and Paul George followed in an instant.
The players of the Western Conference Stars all know that Curry is putting on a show and playing a cover.
Durant stands far away. This is his task, to take James as far away as possible, and prevent him from having the opportunity to help defend.
Towns and Bosh kept getting stuck under the basket, ready to make a tip-up at any time.
After switching defenses, Antetokounmpo, who was in charge of defending the third position, moved his position back and forth. Leonard was stuck, preventing him from receiving the ball.
Looking at the situation in this way, the situation is obvious, and the Eastern Army made it clear that they wanted to force Yuan Qingshan to do it himself.
At the critical moment, Coach Stevens wants to gamble on the touch of this young player who has just entered the league for 2 years and entered the All-Star Game for the first time.
3 seconds.
Yuan Qingshan gritted his teeth, stepped back and shot a jumper.
The orange "three-point champion" skill was activated, and Yuan Qingshan felt the basketball in his hand become hot for a while, and even left a trace of flames in the air after throwing it out.
Yuan Qingshan quickly rubbed his eyes again, the basketball flew out quickly, how could there be any flames?
It should be dizziness, or too nervous, hallucinations.
Wade wanted to win, and Yuan Qingshan wanted to win even more.
He wants to use this All-Star Game to prove that he has evolved from a qualified starter to a star.
Hiss... Cole gasped.
Now that things were going on, he was a little unsure if it was right for him to put the treasure on Yuan Qingshan.
You must know that Yuan Qingshan is facing Dwayne Wade, the all-powerful Flash back then.
His tenacity and focus cannot be learned by many young players.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wade's offensive consumption was too high. At this time, he didn't have much energy to defend. Otherwise, it is still unclear whether Yuan Qingshan can make a smooth shot.
Cole's expression became colder and colder, beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, and he didn't realize it.
All his attention was focused on basketball. Before coming to New Orleans, he thought that he just needed to cooperate with the league to make a show.
All these thoughts were in an instant, Cole's thoughts returned to reality, and he continued to look at the basketball flying in mid-air.
Yuan Qingshan's shot posture is standard this time, and the trajectory is good.
In 3 seconds, the Western Stars lead by 3 points. If the goal is scored and they can lead by 6 points, it means that the victory can be sealed.
If you don't score and get a rebound from the East, the situation will return to the tense state just now.
At that time, the Eastern team can call a timeout, then grab three points and play overtime, and even use foul tactics.
At that time, they can make more choices, and don't forget, the East has the king of desperation-LeBron James!
No matter which team it is, they dare not give James a chance to make a shot at the last moment.
Therefore, don't be lucky, you must win this ball!
"Rebound, rebound!"
The ball was still in the air, and Cole yelled anxiously.
Coach Stevens, who was standing opposite him, was a little more reserved, tightly holding the material folder in his hand, but it was about to be crushed.
The fans held their breath together, even worried that the sound waves would interfere with the trajectory of the ball.
All the attention, but that's all.
The basketball spins, spins, spins toward the hoop.
There was a soft "shua".
Then "shua, shua, shua..."
The echo of the ball hitting the net echoed in the New Orleans Arena.
For a moment, the center of New Orleans was silent.
Many people's nerves have not yet reacted, and they are still thinking about how Yuan Qingshan threw that ball against Wade.
Wade's heart suddenly tightened, with mixed feelings.
Beep, the whistle sounds, and the game is over.
The 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game is over!
Whoa!
Auditorium, explosion.
The commentary booth exploded.
West bench, bang.
All corners exploded except for a small area of the East bench.
Yuan Qingshan scored the goal that sealed the victory!
Golden goal!
Cole was dizzy and almost fell. Klay Thompson quickly supported him, then grabbed his arm and said, "Coach, we won, we won!"
The stars of the West team re-entered the field collectively to celebrate with the heroes on the field.
Stevens looked up and looked at the scoreboard, 173 to 167, the score was always fixed at this set of values, he sighed, and took the initiative to walk over to shake Cole's hand.
Cole's expression was a little dull at first, but after he realized it, he quickly gave Stevens a big hug.
"Congratulations, Coach Cole." Stevens adjusted his mood quickly, making it impossible to find fault.
Cole quickly patted the opponent on the back: "You guys did well, we were just lucky enough to win."
After a word of courtesy, the two separated.
Stevens lowered his voice and said, "It's not a fluke. At the last moment, you won on Yuan Qingshan."
Cole nodded, exchanged a glance with Stevens, and smiled.
After this battle, he can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the power of the star guard of the Lakers.
Unlike the Warriors' own star Stephen Curry, Yuan Qingshan's contribution to the team cannot be reflected in numerical values. Some academic coaches prefer this kind of person who can affect the overall situation.
Downs and Cousins set up Yuan Qingshan from left to right.
Yuan Qingshan was startled: "Hey, what are you doing, let me down quickly."
As a result, Towns and Cousins just smirked and led him to the media cameras.
"Did you have a premeditated plan?" Yuan Qingshan shouted.
At this time, LeBron James walked over, and he was the first to find Yuan Qingshan in the entire western star team.
Only then did Downs and Cousins let Yuan Qingshan down.
James: "Congratulations, Qingshan, get ready to win the MVP trophy."
To be honest, Yuan Qingshan didn't think about it himself. If he remembers correctly, his statistics for this game were 26 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals.
In his opinion, he may not be as good as the host Anthony Davis. After all, Davis scored a phenomenal 42 points tonight, as well as 14 rebounds and 4 assists.
