Chapter 176 The Peak Showdown in the New Century
In the anticipation of a hundred thousand spectators, the attack clock ticked away, and there were only eight seconds left in the blink of an eye.
I saw LeBron raise his leg to start, kicked and took two big steps, reaching the top of the arc like two flashes.
Almost at the same time, Su Yang raised his feet and stepped forward, leaning forward, as if to grab the basketball.
LeBron was not afraid at all, with a tank-like body, he continued to dribble the ball with his right hand.
Seeing that the fake move failed, Su Yang decisively twisted his hips and turned sideways, slipping on his feet and continuing to catch up.
LeBron didn't have whistle skills, so he relied on his thick body to separate the space, and then relied on his strong strength to protect the basketball. He rushed all the way to the basket, completely ignoring Su Yang's defense, grabbed the basketball tightly with his right hand, and jumped lightly. , suddenly rose into the air.
Su Yang knew that it was difficult to complete the block, but he still kicked off the ground and took off, raising his left hand high to try.
Anyway, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen.
With a bang, the basketball blasted into the net, LeBron dunked Su Yang head-on, and the referee whistled at the same time for a foul.
The cheers from all around the stadium erupted like the eruption of Ernaputina Volcano in Peru, fast, fierce and loud. The brawny stars such as Puff Daddy, JAYZ, U2 Arthur, etc. sitting in the VIP seats on the sidelines stood up collectively applaud.
The Eastern Conference generals cheered and celebrated, pushing and shouting around LeBron, as excited as celebrating a lore.
The referee deliberately waited until the celebration was over before starting to arrange free throws. LeBron stood on the free throw line with a face full of excitement.
There were bursts of MVP shouts around the stadium, and Dallas seemed to have become Cleveland.
Su Yang waited on the center line, Kobe walked up to him and said: "Just now you should have taken the initiative to prevent him from accelerating and starting, and fighting him physically, it sounds exaggerated, but that is the way with a higher success rate. "
Su Yang put his hands on his hips and nodded: "Understood, I will make a change next time, the strategy was more radical just now."
He originally wanted to lure LeBron to change his dribble trajectory by probing and grabbing the ball, thereby further delaying LeBron's offense, and finally forcing LeBron to shoot in a hurry, but LeBron is very clear about his own advantages and is very resolute in his execution. Forcibly breaking through based on physical conditions, not afraid of stepping up and grabbing, at most they will bump into each other without calling a foul.
Amidst the huge cheers, LeBron hit an additional free throw, and the Eastern Conference caught up to 15 to 23.
In the transition between offense and defense, Kobe caught the ball from the bottom line and drove it across the center line to Su Yang, while LeBron was waiting at the top of the arc early.
Seeing this, the audience who were about to sit down cheered again, and the players of the two teams dispersed to make room.
Su Yang really wanted to shoot a super long three-pointer directly, and he was confident that he could hit it, but on such an occasion, so angry, the super long three-pointer didn't seem to be so appropriate. He had to break through head-on, use his muscles to ignite the audience, and conquer the opponent and the audience.
After making up his mind, Su Yang accelerated his start, taking small steps like a black cat walking at night, concealed and silent.
Seen from a distance, Su Yang stabbed continuously with his left and right feet, and his center of gravity shifted back and forth, making it difficult for LeBron to judge for a while.
When the two met at the top of the arc, Su Yang suddenly raised his shoulder to the left and pulled the ball, preparing to cross step and break through.
LeBron subconsciously moved his footsteps to the left to intercept, but Su Yang made an emergency stop with his left foot and kicked the ground backwards. At the same time, he dribbled the ball with his right hand and pulled it back. Go straight to the basket.
LeBron twisted his hips in a hurry, also slid his feet to catch up, and entered the paint area in a second.
Between the lightning and the flint, Su Yang didn't close the ball, and directly kicked off with his left foot, and raised the ball with his right hand, as if he was riding a white horse. When he aimed at the basket, it was a super long-distance gliding dunk, which was so handsome that it exploded .
At the same time, LeBron jumped to try to interfere, and the two collided in the air like thunder and fire.
BOOM!The basketball went into the net, 25 to 15.
Su Yang dunked LeBron from the side, and the cheers around the stadium were like tens of thousands of fireworks all rising into the sky, and then exploded one after another, continuously, while Shakira, Beyoncé and other beautiful stars were excited. Rocking and shaking in celebration.
When Su Yang landed and turned around, LeBron took the initiative to walk towards him, and the two greeted each other with high fives and bumped shoulders.
At the same time, Jordan, who was sitting in the auditorium, was shot on the big screen in the center, and his face was full of smiles.
In the TNT commentary seat, Marvin said: "Fans, please remember this scene. In today's All-Star game, two superstars who will compete many times in the next ten years are full of respect for each other. "
Reggie Miller said: "I thought Su Yang would shake wildly, and then throw a mid-range shot or a three-pointer. I didn't expect him to break through with Michael Jordan's small steps and swing directly into the penalty area. It's too ruthless!"
Doug Collins said: "I was a little surprised that he took off with his left foot alone. I knew that he had a strong dynamic physical fitness, but I didn't expect to be so strong. It seems that he insisted on devil training for a long time in high school. make up."
On the field, the offense and defense switch.
The crowd chanted 'one more,' but LeBron signaled that Rondo didn't need to pass.
The audience was in high spirits and continued to shout in unison, and Rondo hurriedly raised his hand to call for tactics.
Wade immediately started running from the left bottom corner, and with the help of Garnett's cover, he temporarily got rid of Kobe's entanglement, strode to the left 45-degree three-point line, raised his hand to receive the pass from Rondo, moved to the top of the arc, and then borrowed Howard screens and cuts inside.
Even though Kobe was good at chasing, it was difficult for him to resist two consecutive delays, so he had to go around the wall to intercept.
Wade immediately got a huge shot space, but he didn't rush to shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he continued to step deep into the paint. Facing Kobe who was intercepting obliquely, he decisively fused the ball and raised his head to aim at the basket. He wanted to stop and jump. cast.
Considering that Wade's middle distance is okay, Kobe hurriedly stepped up to grab, ready to interfere.
I thought, Wade turned around with his right foot on the ground, jumped to the basket with one step, followed by kicking off, and aimed at the basket with a forceful dunk, wishing to smash the basket to pieces. Let off steam.
With a bang, the basketball crashed into the hoop and into the net, 25 to 17.
The cheers around the stadium reappeared, as if dozens of supersonic planes skipped over the sky at the same time, it was deafening.
Marvin smiled and said, "I think the throat drinks will be sold out during the intermission later."
Miller also laughed: "The game was really exciting. Except for the three relatively casual shots at the beginning of the Eastern Conference, the other rounds were all high-quality duels. Any fan would cheer ecstatically and couldn't control themselves."
Collins said: "As far as the wonderful scenes of scoring goals are concerned, they have not improved much compared to previous years. The main reason is that the defensive intensity is very high. Before, they double-teamed Su Yang with all their strength, and now they are chasing Wade with all their strength. The intensity seems to be in the season. Playoffs."
On the field, the West offense.
Su Yang catches the ball from the bottom line and tries to advance. Seeing Rondo stepping forward, he passes back to Kobe.
The two ran to the frontcourt in parallel. Su Yang caught the ball at a 45-degree left, turned around and ran to the left wing.
Durant came out from the left corner, pretending to be a cover for Su Yang, but actually rushed to the basket at high speed.
LeBron made a misjudgment and chose to team up with Rondo to attack, but Su Yang raised his hand and lobbed the ball to the paint.
Durant leaped high to catch the ball, and landed directly facing LeBron's strong single defense. Without any hesitation, he pulled the ball decisively and retreated back, perfectly recreating Nowitzki's golden rooster independence and unaffected mid-range shots .
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 27 to 17.
The Western Conference players stood and applauded and joined the audience to celebrate Durant's first goal of the All-Star Game.
Paul casually said: "If KD further improves his shooting percentage, death will come everywhere, and the Thunder, Westbrook and James Harden will grow into strong contenders for the championship in the next few years. "
Kidd said: "KD has a chance to become the scoring champion this season. He has a dislocation advantage against anyone."
Nash said: "With KD's height and wingspan, normally he should be playing center or power forward, but he chose the small forward position. The key is really effective. Many breakthroughs are easily shot by shaking the defender."
Amidst the cheers, the East attacked.
Rondo ran across the center line with the ball, raised his hand at Garnett to call for tactics, and waved to other players to move around, as if to launch an attack from the center, and LeBron and others followed the request.
In a blink of an eye, Rondo rushed to the top of the arc, directly using Garnett to cover, like a small flying knife straight into the basket.
Considering Rondo's eye-catching three-point shooting rate and his one-sided lateral speed, Nowitzki calmly stayed at the free throw line and waited, ready to intercept Rondo's breakthrough, while Su Yang squeezed through the wall to catch up Rondo.
Garnett took the opportunity to disassemble the outer bullet, and quickly moved across to the left elbow area, while Rondo stopped and turned around, leaned on Su Yang with his body, forcibly separated the space, and then passed the ball to the ground without any carelessness. Operation, only win in eyes!
Su Yang rushed forward in a hurry, but Garnett shot a long-distance two-pointer extremely resolutely.At the same time, LeBron and Wade Qiqi turned to the backcourt to prepare to retreat, Howard also wanted to grab offensive rebounds, and the East strictly implemented tactics.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 27 to 19.
Nowitzki picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, raising his hand to grab the serve, but four people in the East had already run to the center line.
Rondo, the only one left in the backcourt, needs to be responsible for leading the defense of Su Yang, otherwise he would have already run over.
Kobe caught the ball and pushed forward, then passed to Su Yang on the left 45 degrees from the top of the arc, and then dodged to his right elbow.
Su Yang held the ball high, trying to create an offensive opportunity for Duncan, who hadn't touched the ball for a long time, but Howard got stuck in front and sideways, and Rondo still put on a look ready to pinch at any time. The difficulty of passing the ball was quite high.
Seeing that there was no hope for the time being, Su Yang took the ball to the top of the arc, ready to play a high and low cooperation with Kobe.
But as soon as he took two steps, he caught a glimpse of LeBron, who was in charge of defending Durant, standing a little forward.
"This is a good opportunity for a triangle offense! I just don't know if Duncan and Durant will have a tacit understanding..."
While thinking about it, Su Yang blinked at Duncan and signaled,
Duncan strode forward immediately, while Durant bowed and started, rushing at full speed into the short corner to the left.
Su Yang hurriedly thrust the basketball straight towards his left elbow, and Duncan received it, and immediately hit the ground towards the short corner and passed again.
I saw Durant, who was running at full speed, bent down and picked up the basketball, hugged his hands tightly and went straight to the basket.
Howard hurriedly twisted his hips to catch up, forming a 90-degree fan-shaped pinch with Garnett, who was shrinking and intercepting on the right.
For a while, Durant had nowhere to go.
Duncan hurriedly shouted a reminder, and at the same time rushed to the basket, Durant heard the sound and passed back with a low hand.
Sensing that the basketball was passed away, Howard and Garnett subconsciously turned their heads to find where they were going.At this moment, Duncan grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it high. He jumped up unpretentiously, directly above the heads of the two, and it was a split dunk.
The basketball fell into the basket and slammed on the face of Howard, who was still a little hesitant, and the audience burst into laughter.
All the generals in the Western Conference stood up, Van Gundy also led the coaching staff to stand up, and gave Duncan a thumbs up in unison. Cheers and applause followed one after another. Who would have thought that Duncan would perform such a violent snap !
The central large screen timely displays the number of Duncan dunks in the last three seasons, a total of 0708 in the 43 season, a total of 0809 in the 26 season, and so far this season, there are only 11 in total, which is one less time when you really look at it.
In the TNT commentary seat, Ma Wen smiled and said: "From the scene, so many dunks, it is indeed an All-Star game style, but from the whole process, this is simply a tiebreaker in the playoffs, with extremely tight defense and a little chance Gone."
Collins said: "Just now Su Yang launched a Blind Pig tactic in a triangle attack. I checked the playback carefully and found that the opportunity appeared after LeBron went around to intercept the pass and failed to return in time. At most one second was available."
Miller said: "This is the reason why they were selected as All-Stars. Su Yang only gave one look, and Duncan immediately understood. Although Durant had no relevant tactical training in the Thunder, he was keenly aware of opportunities."
On the court, Rondo dribbled the ball to stop at the top of the arc.
Garnett climbed up the wall and took cover on the right side, blocking Su Yang extremely firmly.
Nowitzki waited at the free throw line, and Rondo dodged a cut, suddenly stopped and pulled the ball behind him.
Nowitzki stopped instinctively to block the mid-range shot, but Rondo slammed into the air again, heading for the rim at full speed.
It took only half a second to stop together, but Rondo easily grabbed the rhythm, slipped to the basket in the blink of an eye, and jumped high to wipe the board.
The basketball rebounded into the net, and the Eastern Conference caught up to 21 to 29.
Marvin laughed and said, "Rondo also needs to prove that he has singles ability, and that he is the most pure one..."
Miller curled his lips: "I want to see three-pointers, don't keep dunking or laying up, hurry up and do something new..."
As soon as the words fell, Su Yang stepped back hesitantly at the top of the arc, facing Rondo's defense, and shot a three-pointer dryly.
Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and into the net, and Miller got a standing ovation.
The East launched a rush attack, LeBron rushed to the right wing with the ball, and all members of the West shrank to fill the inside line.
Durant, who was in charge of the frontal defense, also took the initiative to take a half step back, forcing shots without letting go.
Without the slightest hesitation, LeBron directly pulled the ball back, and suddenly shot a three-pointer with a cold arrow.
The basketball went into the net hollow, and the East caught up to 24 to 32, and the point difference between the two teams was still hovering between 8 and 10.
The official timeout whistle sounded, the referee whistled to stop the game, and the players of both teams returned to the bench.
Jeff Van Gundy briefly summed it up, and then replaced Su Yang with Paul, Duncan with Gasol, and Kobe with Billups, and only kept the local player Nowitzki on the court, posing a set of double control and double control. High lineup.
When the timeout was over, the Eastern side also made adjustments. Pierce and Joe Johnson came on the stage to replace LeBron and Wade, forming an enhanced version of the Celtics on both offensive and defensive ends, firmly occupying a dominant position in momentum.
The two teams came and went, and soon there were only three minutes and 46 seconds left in the game, and the West led by only one point.
Forcibly update, brazenly begging for votes!
