Chapter 271 MVP Turtle
The All-Star Game didn't work until the third quarter, and it seemed that only Westbrook and Paul George were playing seriously.
The lineup in the West is: Westbrook, Curry, Thompson, Harden, and Dreaming Green.
In O'Neill's words, this "one big and four small" made Popovich useless.
Westbrook chugs, Curry shoots!
The lineup on the Eastern side is more sentimental, James, Wade, George, Gasol, Anthony.
The members of the banana boat tried to cooperate a few times. Anthony turned into a high-mounted turret, and no one could stop him except Green.
Popovich meant to let Thompson stand up to Anthony, but he was directly pushed up by Anthony's big ass.
So Harden volunteered to switch defenses, and Anthony sat down and beat him, big ass against big ass, passionate collision, crackling noise.
In fact, James really wants to clean up the three Warriors brothers in order to find a psychological advantage for the foreseeable finals. Unfortunately, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are not around, so it doesn't make sense to lose or win.
The only old teammate around now is Wade, but can Wade give up the Heat and come to Cleveland?
James knew that even if he wanted to, Wade would refuse, unless the Miami Heat really dared to do something sorry for the soul of the team.
The second half of the game, like the rookie game the day before, turned into a slam dunk contest for pure performance.
Tyronn Lue wondered if he should use his authority a little bit to help James win an All-Star MVP.
James decisively declined the kindness of Tyronn Lue, because for James at this stage, nothing is more important than winning the first championship in team history for Cleveland.
champion?Tyronn Lue smiled slightly, indicating that I already knew it.
O'Neal yelled that he was about to fall asleep, and the smell of gunpowder in the first half was gone.
Barkley made it clear: Want the smell of gunpowder?Hold on, "Near Victory" may be late, but it's never absent.
Yuan Qingshan said in his heart that you are so black about the All-Star Game, is it really okay?
In fact, what Barkley said was right. From the middle of the fourth quarter, the head coaches of the East and West seemed to have a sudden enlightenment at the same time, making adjustments to the lineup.
West: Westbrook, Curry, Kobe, Durant, Anthony Davis.
East: Wall, Wade, George, James, Drummond.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the lineup for serious games.
In the West, Westbrook seems to be determined to win the MVP. Durant is on the same team as him and will not steal his limelight. Curry and Anthony Davis are both easy to talk to and will not steal.
As for Kobe, everyone couldn't see what mood he was in at this moment. In short, he played relatively calmly, and he didn't have the domineering state that the Black Mamba used to have before.
In the east, it is fake that James played the game, but it is true that he came to Toronto to pave the way. He privately contacted many stars, such as Anthony Davis, Wall, etc., and even some rookies, such as Yuan Qingshan and Devin Booker.
After the All-Star break is the mid-season trade deadline, if given the opportunity, he hopes to bring these people to Cleveland to help him.
He really wants to win the championship this year.
Tyronn Lue understood James' mood very well, so he used a little thought on the player rotation of the Eastern team, and arranged different people to cooperate with James.
According to the test results, Paul George and Wade are the most ideal, but it is very difficult to get these two people. It may be necessary to dismantle the existing Big Three, which is too risky.
And everyone knows how unwilling James is after experiencing the seven heroes in last year's finals. What he wants most is to fight the Warriors again when all the players are healthy.
With 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, after Curry made an unreasonable three-pointer against Wade's defense, the two sides tied at 125.
The Eastern team called a timeout and habitually designed a singles tactic for James.
turn down.
James proposed that he handle the ball, and then find an opportunity to hand it over to George to finish.
Director Lu thinks it doesn't matter, as long as Zhan Zhan is happy.
George was very happy when he heard it, and he patted his chest with confidence to guarantee the score, and his favorability for James was +100.
The two sides played again.
Wade handed the ball to James after halftime, and James pretended to break through as promised, successfully squeezed Durant, and then when facing Anthony Davis's supplementary defense, he successfully distributed the ball to the outside and tried to run out of the open George.
The great general of Yincheng raised his sword in a high-spirited manner and scored three points.
Afterwards, he proudly blew on the remaining warmth on his fingers to the camera.
Hmph, it feels so hot to the touch!
After the rotation, Curry, who was in charge of defending him, looked helpless, gritted his braces and shook his head. He really tried his best to chase the ball just now, and almost sprained his foot.
Thompson yelled at him: "Don't work too hard, if you hurt us, how can we play in the playoffs?"
Westbrook was so angry that he resisted the urge to spray Curry. After the kickoff, he single-handedly passed three and scored two points with his iconic zombie jumper.
Similarly, he also showed it to the camera, but instead of fingers, he showed off his extremely strong arms.
In fact, he originally wanted to make Drummond a foul, but unfortunately he was not fooled.
"Why don't you be more vicious, take the racket away from my hand, or just pat my hand!" Westbrook stared at Drummond and complained.
"Huh?" Drummond was at a loss, and had never seen anyone make such an unreasonable request.
Westbrook gave him a hard look, cut his throat, and some audience members started to make noise.
Drummond became angry, and made up his mind that as long as Westbrook touches the ball, he must ruin his good deeds!
In the next round, James assisted George to score another.
George patted Westbrook on the chest with his mouth curled up: Come again!
James smiled slightly, George Fragment +1.
As soon as the camera turned, Westbrook raised his eyes and calculated his score, which seemed to be lower than George's, which is not acceptable.
Thinking that the MVP might be snatched away, he quickly asked for the ball from Curry: "Stephen, give me the ball!"
"Oh." Curry froze for a moment, then passed the ball obediently.
Thompson winked at Curry: He wants the ball, so you give it to him?
Curry passed the ball to Westbrook, but he felt a little wronged in his heart. His touch is also hot now.
Westbrook reached the basket with his perverted physical fitness, and found Drummond to say "two plus one!"
Clap, clap, Drummond slapped his palm angrily, why was he so unbelievable, why didn't he slap him away, it was a foul anyway.
Westbrook was satisfied this time, and stepped forward to pat Drummond: "You did a good job!"
Drummond shook his shoulder vigorously and sent his hand flying: "What are you arrogant about?"
James happened to be next to the two and quickly separated them.
"You're done, kid!" Westbrook pointed at Drummond with the corners of his eyes hanging.
Drummond sneered contemptuously.
Seeing the smell of gunpowder ignited again on the court, Popovich quickly replaced Kobe and let Harden go up.
What a joke, if Kobe is injured in the All-Star Game, Jim Buss and Scott will go crazy, and the 60 billion Zijin fans will not be able to spare themselves.
Harden used to be Westbrook's younger brother in the Thunder. Knowing that this guy wanted to compete for the MVP, he would hand over to Westbrook as long as he got the ball. He behaved very well.
Westbrook scored three in a row, and he was even more proud. He shouted at the camera: "MVP! MVP!"
On the sidelines, Adams led a circle of Thunder fans and shouted: "MVP! Turtle! MVP! Turtle!"
Reggie Jackson frowned, thinking what kind of slogan is this?
Tyronn Lue also replaced James. James leaned on his chin and watched the performance of every All-Star on the field, simulating in his mind whether it would be feasible to get someone to the Cavaliers in terms of running-in.
Westbrook and George staged a confrontational battle. In the end, the Western team was slightly better, winning the Eastern team by 8 points.
Westbrook won the All-Star Game MVP with 40 points, 5 assists, and 8 rebounds.
Paul George was a little frustrated, James gave Tyronn Lue a wink, and the two hurried over to pour chicken soup for the soul, and George seemed to be born again.
James and Tyronn Lue looked at each other and smiled: Humph, Paul George fragments: +1, +1.
When the award was presented, Westbrook couldn't close his mouth. He held the trophy and said, "Do you know that last year's MVP is also mine!"
Adams quickly cheered for his second brother: "Wow, really, it's really strong!"
Durant deliberately pretended to be very calm, taking advantage of the camera not paying attention, and sneaked a few glances at the gleaming All-Star MVP trophy from the corner of his eye.
Then he pulled out his phone, switched to an ID with only one level, and replied on All-Star Twitter: Why don't you send the MVP to Durant?
