Chapter 497 [Shoot, Yao Ming! 】

Chapter 497 [Shoot, Yao Ming! 】

The Lakers have a new slam dunk king, and their popularity has further improved. Countless people are optimistic about Iguodala's future.

On the 21st, the Western Stars team trained, Yao Ming added three-pointers, and Yang Rui also let the players practice the tactics of inside support.

Yang Rui only had bodyguards to accompany him this weekend, and Stana went to film, so he could focus more on the basketball court, and it was a worthwhile trip to win.

After coming to Denver, Kobe didn't go out to play, he stayed in the hotel when he was not active, and he was still listless during training.

In this all-star game, Kobe's wife Vanessa was not present, and the fans were too unfriendly. Even if Vanessa was not in danger to watch the game, it would bring back bad memories.

Garnett also didn't have the energy to play the All-Star team. His mind was all on the Timberwolves. He didn't communicate much with his teammates during training. He threw a few balls and sat on the side in a daze.

It is said that players and coaches have to say a few words, but Garnett did not look directly at Yang Rui, which is quite dragging.Yang Rui satirized Garnett when he was a guest commentator on TNT. Although what he said was true, Garnett had a great opinion of him.

Yang Rui was also not interested in ignoring Garnett, because he knew it was impossible to cooperate.With Garnett's annual salary, if he is on a team with Kobe, most of the team will have to get a base salary.

The other two players in the West started. Duncan was very selfless. Nash mainly passed the ball. Yang Rui was sure that no one would compete with Yao Ming for the ball. As long as he dared to vote, he would have a chance to compete for the MVP.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the 2005 Star Weekend was a huge failure. It failed to boost Denver's economy and the game lacked exciting scenes.In the end, the East won 125 to 115, and the MVP was won by Iverson, who played the longest.

他打了32分钟，13投4中，命中率只有30.8%，加上7中7的罚球，得到15分4篮板9助攻5抢断，还有着7次失误。

The best players are at this level, and you can imagine what the others are doing.The leading scorer in the All-Star Game was Ray Allen in the West with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

Now Ray Allen is messing up badly. He is the boss of the Bucks and can't make the playoffs. Although he averages 24.5 points, 4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, his shooting percentage is close to entering the 50+40+90 club, but he is not even in the All-Star Game. not selected.

Ray Allen is too low-key, with almost no exposure and no popularity.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the best star played by the 2005 All-Star was actually Duncan, but Popovich was the head coach and only let Duncan play for 17 minutes.He made 10 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 from 15-pointers, and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and [-] assists, with an amazing efficiency.

After a brief training session, the stars already have a certain understanding, because the tactics are very simple. The guard catches the ball and shoots, and the forward cuts. Yao Ming is the same as when he was with the Lakers. He is good at organizing, shooting, and cutting in the middle.

Before the game, the stars were interviewed.

Yao Ming boldly expressed his thoughts. "This is my first time participating in the All-Star Game. I am very happy. I will work hard to win the MVP. I hope my teammates will pass the ball to me."

The reporter asked: "How do you feel about playing against Shaquille O'Neal in the All-Star Game?"

"He's an amazing centre forward, I'm sure it will be interesting and I'm ready."

When reporters interviewed other stars, those who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time had a lot of emotions. Wade, Okur, James and others all wanted to prove themselves.

The person who wants to show the most in the West is Anthony, because this is his home court, and he calls on his teammates to pass the ball to him.

When a reporter asked O'Neal if he would shake hands with Kobe in the All-Star Game, O'Neal said perfunctorily: "I won't sit at home all day thinking about it."

When the player came out, there was an embarrassing scene, and Kobe was booed by the Nuggets fans again.The day before yesterday, when Kobe was watching the Rookie Challenge game at the Pepsi Center, a close-up shot of him appeared on the big screen.

Kobe Bryant was really embarrassed this weekend, with tricky reporters deliberately asking unpleasant topics with a provocative tone.Kobe, who has experienced Eagle County, was a lot more tactful in his answer, but it definitely affected his mood.

As the starter chosen by fans, no matter how bad the mood is, Kobe still has to play games.Abuse or not?Abuse or not?Are you saying abuse or not?Oh my god, it's tortured to death!

Eastern starters: Iverson, McGrady, Carter, James, O'Neal.

West starters: Nash, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game started.

The West adopts the most labor-saving joint defense. Everyone's position is fixed, and the station does not follow others.Iverson passed the ball to McGrady and pulled away from the baseline. McGrady faced Nash in the middle and made a three-pointer with ease.

The arc of the ball was flat, and the force was a little bit stronger. It popped out of the frame, and Duncan got the rebound and handed it over to Nash's organization.

Nash dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt, and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll in the middle to the right, attracting James to switch defense and passing the ball to Yao Ming in the middle.

This is an obvious dislocation that can no longer be obvious. Iverson is not only the shortest of the two teams, but also has no close defense.

Yao Ming received the ball comfortably, took aim, recalled the rhythm of his usual three-point practice, and shot a jumper.The arc of the ball is perfect, hollow into the net, 3-0.

When returning to defense, Yao Ming smiled happily, he felt very good today.

In the east attack, Carter moved to catch the ball, and the breakthrough did not make the perimeter. McGrady pulled again in the middle, ignoring Nash's defense and scored a three-pointer. 3 to 3.

This is McGrady's best style of play. Since the beginning of last season, his dry-pull jumpers have become more and more, and gradually began to overlap with the image of McGrady, who had a short peak period in Yang Rui's previous life.He has the ability, and he played simply because of a back injury.

The West's offense was equally simple. Nash moved to the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming, and then distributed the ball to the middle.

Yao Ming took the ball without hesitation and made a three-pointer. This time it missed, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.The East played a quick counterattack, and Iverson gave Carter, who attracted Kobe's defense and passed to James.

James got rid of Duncan with speed, entered the penalty area on the right, and scored a smash with a one-handed tomahawk. 3 to 5.

In the Western offense, Nash still played pick-and-roll with Yao Ming to attract defensive points.O'Neal didn't come out, and Iverson didn't get close to him. He watched from a step away from Yao Ming.

Yao Ming made a three-pointer with a jumper. He had a very good chance and scored another goal without interference! 6 to 5.

When commentators from various countries saw this situation, they all felt that big news was about to be released.

Barkley smiled and said, "Could it be that Yao Ming is shooting three-pointers today? If the big man inside is not guarded, he can really shoot endlessly. Yao Ming's 36.2% three-point shooting rate in the regular season is not low. He has this ability."

Smith said: "I hope he shoots more. It must be arranged by Jerry. He often makes surprise shots. Yao Ming shoots three-pointers from the outside, and it is impossible for guards to block."

At this time, the East completed another attack. James broke through the middle and forced a layup in the face of Duncan's defense. The rebound was picked up by Yao Ming and passed to Nash.

Nash took the half court and waited for Yao Ming to take place outside the three-point line, which fully reflected the "spirit of **."

After the pick-and-roll, he held the ball to the left, attracted Iverson at 50 degrees to the left, and then made an emergency stop, and the ball was given to the middle.

James topped the defense instead of going around to interfere with Nash's pass. Yao Ming received the ball and pushed James with his back, turned to the right and made a jumper. He had a beautiful posture and hit the defense.

8 to 5, Yao Ming swept all the opening scores of the Western Conference.

Chinese fans are all excited. Today Yao Ming is active and really wants to fight for MVP!
