Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 700 The fierce battle is in full swing, the serious version of the All-Star Game!

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

The old rivals Yao Ming and Howard jumped the ball again.

This time, relying on his height and long arms, Yao Ming took the first step and turned the ball back to his own half.

Western troops attack first!

The two guards in the West today-Curry and Paul, usually play point guard.

But in comparison, Curry is better at playing off the ball, and Paul needs the ball more.

Therefore, the head coach of the Western Conference, Mike Malone, who led the Kings this season, put Paul in the first position, and Curry naturally became the second position.

Paul held the ball through half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Curry, Kobe, and Durant each moved.

Although the few of them had never practiced together, they had an unexpected tacit understanding when running.

Soon, Curry set an off-ball screen for Kobe, helping the latter block the defender.

Bryant was able to get rid of the defense and go outside to catch the ball.

With a flick of his wrist, Paul found Kobe exactly.

The black mamba adjusted his footwork while catching the ball, and opened his hand to shoot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

It's a long two points, 2:0, the Western team is the first to win!

Offensive and defensive transition, Rose quickly advanced with the ball.

Paul has a lot of defensive experience.

He didn't choose to stick to the defense, but left a step for Rose.

Rose observed the defense, and seeing that there was no good chance, she passed the ball to James.

LeBron catches the ball at the top of the key.

Durant also took a step and put on a standard defensive posture inside the three-point line.

James didn't want to play singles at the beginning. He feinted twice in a three-threat posture, and then passed the ball to Wade.

Wade saw that standing two meters away was Curry.

[Okay, let me do it...]

The next moment, Wade accelerated towards Curry.

Before the two were about to have physical contact, the Flash made a quick dribble and successfully passed Curry.

But Yao Ming was still guarding the restricted area, so Wade slowed down a little and observed it.

Usually in the All-Star Game, the stars don't take defense too seriously.

Except for the decisive moment in the second half of the fourth quarter, there are very few actions such as assisting defense and blocking.

What Wade observed was whether Yao Ming would step out of the way and give up defense.

If Yao Ming gets out of the way, Wade can show off a dunk and liven up the atmosphere of the scene.

But Dayao didn't seem to have such a plan.

His knees were slightly bent, obviously ready to jump up and interfere.

Wade was a little surprised, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

He used the best Eurostep.

But even though Yao Ming was deceived at the beginning, he turned sideways in time and stretched out his long arms to interfere.

Wade's layup misses.

Kobe and Anthony were crazily stuck at the basket. In the end, Melon took the lead and slapped the ball to the outside.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Paul controlled the basketball.

The western troops immediately launched a counterattack!

Paul advanced with the ball at high speed.

While marching, he saw that Rose had no intention of pressing forward, so he boldly threw the ball on the ground.

Rose thought Paul made a mistake, so he leaned out, trying to win the ball.

Unexpectedly, the basketball spun violently after touching the ground.

Instead of bouncing normally, the ball flew backwards back into Paul's hands.

It turned out that when he "slammed" the ball out, he flicked his wrist and gave the ball a side spin.

Once the opponent makes a mistake in judgment and wants to grab the ball, not only will he not get the ball, but he will also lose his position!

Now, for example, Rose gives way to the rim in a straight line.

Paul accelerated and was about to layup in three steps.

At this time, James has already taken off synchronously behind him.

Fortunately, Paul is very familiar with his brothers who are also in the "Banana Boat".

He knew that James was going to chase him, so he suddenly changed his move before the shot and distributed the ball to Kobe who followed up from the wing.

After receiving the ball, Corvo raised his hand and swayed Wade, and then passed the ball to Curry who followed up when Rose rushed up.

After Curry received the ball, there was no one around.

For a shooter of his level, such an opportunity is purely a bonus.

He raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

5:0, the West team made a strong start!

Looking back, the Eastern Army also responded quickly.

Anthony hit Durant with a low back, turned back and succeeded, rewriting the score to 5:2.

The offense and defense were switched, and Paul dealt the cards in an arc again.

Curry and others had a cross screen.

This time, Durant found a chance and went outside to catch the ball.

Although Anthony was thrown off, he still made up the defense in time.

Seeing that there was no chance of a direct shot, Durant put on a three-threat posture and began to test Melon's defense.

When Anthony is serious about defending, the effect is still good.

He wasn't fooled by kd's feints and stayed in the correct defensive position throughout.

Seeing this, Durant simply dropped the ball.

I saw that he stepped out with his right foot first, made a right-handed crossover, then stepped out with his left foot, and pulled the ball back with a left-handed crossover.

KD's wingspan is extremely long, which makes his dribble change direction extremely large and very confusing.

Anthony was shaken and took a step back.

Upon seeing this, Durant pulled up and shot!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

7:2, the West continued to lead!

In the next few minutes, the two sides came and went, not giving in to each other, and the intensity of the game was like a playoff game!

In the stands, a spectator was a little surprised and said: "Eh? In the first few rounds today, both teams seemed to be playing quite decently. They didn't deliberately reduce their defensive intensity for the sake of show."

The fans around him nodded and said in confusion: "It's quite special to play like this in the All-Star Game... But I think it will be even more exciting if the All-Star Game can really play!"

This person's point of view is actually the voice of many fans.

The All-Star Game brings together dozens of the best players in the world.

It is not an easy task to get them together to play.

Even the NBA only organizes such a game a year!

But because many stars don't want to waste their energy in this kind of performance game, the intensity of the All-Stars has not been high.

Naturally, the fans will not be able to appreciate the grand occasion of the best players showing their talents and fighting with all their strength!

Shen Fei was an ordinary fan in his previous life, and he also thought about what it would be like if the All-Star Game really played.

Of course, he just wanted to...

But time has passed, and now Shen Fei has an extraordinary status and has the ability to influence the All-Star Game.

Of course, Shen Fei wanted to change the game, not just to satisfy the fantasies of his previous life.

More importantly...a wonderful All-Star game can create great heat.

In this way, the new arena of Huaxia Times, as well as the new generation of boots to be released by Under Armor and Curry, can all benefit from it!

With this beautiful vision, Shen Fei began to think a week ago, how to let the stars fight with real swords and guns...

In his memory, there are very few years when players take the All-Star Game seriously.

Shen Fei vaguely remembered that one year James and Durant each led the team.

And this pair of "big and small kings" of the league reached a consensus in a two-person interview and decided to lead their teammates to take the All-Star Game seriously.

Sure enough, that year's main game was extremely exciting, and it was the best All-Star game in several years.

"So...it is necessary to seek the help of more authoritative and rhythmic stars in the two teams, and it is possible to complete this task with points and faces."

Shen Fei had a preliminary idea, and in the following week, he began to contact this year's starting players one after another.

But after he actually started to implement it, he realized that it was not easy...

For example, he is not familiar with the Big Three of the Heat, and it is difficult for them to cooperate.

Rose and Anthony expressed their willingness to cooperate, but they would not take the initiative to propose to their teammates.

The eastern team is difficult to control, Shen Fei can only focus on the ideological work of the western players.

[If I can get the West to play seriously, I can definitely take the lead very quickly. ]

[The eastern team sees that the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, for the sake of face, maybe they will play seriously...]

With this in mind, Shen Fei immediately contacted Curry and Yao Ming.

The two naturally agreed to Shen Fei's request.

Yao Ming also took the initiative to say that he would lead the rhythm in the locker room and try to make other players go all out.

Afterwards, Shen Fei also contacted Kobe.

Black Mambas are aggressive people.

After hearing Shen Fei's proposal, he immediately agreed without any hesitation.

Kobe also proposed that he would do a good job in Paul's ideological work, so that the latter would also perform seriously in the All-Star Game.

Shen Fei hung up the phone with satisfaction.

There are five starters in the West, and he has already got four.

The rest of Durant is so young, after seeing his teammates play seriously, he will definitely go all out!

"Get it..."

After finishing these, Shen Fei smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sly arc.

............

Look back to the game.

Today's competition was so intense after the start, it was Shen Fei's masterpiece!

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the head coach of the Eastern Conference Spoelstra called the first timeout of the game.

The score at this time was 20:13, and the West temporarily led by 7 points.

After playing for 7 minutes, the scores of the two teams are so low, which is unprecedented in the history of the All-Star Game!

And the reason why Sipo called this timeout is to clarify with the players the attitude of today's game.

"The western team should want to fight normally."

"Now I give you two choices. One, today's game is not counted as a record, and it will not have any impact on your respective teams. So we will relax and play, you have fun and try to show your talent."

"Second, play hard and show a defensive intensity that matches the opponent. You can no longer be as passive as in the first quarter."

Spo said seriously.

"Then play seriously."

Anthony said nonchalantly.

In society, I, Gua, don't talk too much.

Seeing Anthony's firm attitude, the other players nodded in approval.

Shiba nodded and continued:

"In the previous games, our team's offensive space was too small. LeBron and Dwayne had no room to break through."

"So, next we have to increase the projection point."

Ever since, after the timeout ended, the lineups of both teams have changed...

On the west side, Westbrook, Love, Nowitzki and others played one after another.

On the Eastern side, Rose and Howard were replaced, and Pierce and Bosh went into battle.

It is worth mentioning that the whole process of Dragon King Bosh can be described as a black face after playing.

He glanced at Wade and James, then turned his head the other way.

The two of James and Way were also slightly embarrassed after seeing Bosh.

Last year's offseason, Bosh defected to the Heat in order to compete for the championship.

Unexpectedly, before the end of the season, the Heat would trade him for Howard...

[If I knew this, why didn't I continue to be the boss of the team in Toronto...]

Bosh once said something like this in his sleep late at night.

Unexpectedly, the All-Star Game brought them back together again!

But Bosh couldn't get over the hurdles in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't say hello to Janeway.

............

The game continues.

After the end of this timeout, the East team really started to go all out!

James took advantage of the weakness of the two insiders in the West - Love and Nowitzki's slow pace, to break through to the penalty area twice in a row to attack the basket.

Go straight up once, and cause 2+1 once!

And James' 5 consecutive points brought the score to 20:18 in an instant.

The Eastern Conference is only two points behind!

At the critical moment, Nowitzki hit James in the low post.

After hitting three times in a row, Nowitzki suddenly took a step back, raised his right knee slightly at the same time, and used Jinji's independent defense to complete the shot!

......

......

hit!

22: 18!

One minute later, James also made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line!

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Love relaxed the ape's arm and accepted the rebound.

At this time, he noticed that Westbrook had stolen a fast break at some point and ran to the enemy's half.

Seeing this, Love waved his hand and passed the ball...

The basketball is like a cannonball, spanning half the court, heading straight for Westbrook!

With a light jump, Westbrook caught the basketball in the air.

"woo..."

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

Many of them haven't watched the Timberwolves game, so they naturally don't know Love's long pass skills.

Seeing such a long but accurate pass, the audience was also very excited...

Westbrook adjusted a step after receiving the ball, jumped with both feet, and made a "big windmill" in the air!

"bang!"

This wonderful one-handed clasp turned the exclamation into cheers.

Meanwhile, a corner of the field.

James and Wade, who was resting off the court, looked at each other, then nodded.

Love's passing skills are excellent, and he is very suitable for launching counterattacks with long passes in the backcourt.

And this long pass skill is a perfect match with Love's rebounding ability at the forefront of the league!

James even imagined that in the future, he and Wade will rush down to the opponent's penalty area, and Love's long pass will make the opponent unstoppable, further improving the success rate of the Heat's fast break!

[Look at his actual three-pointer in a while...]

James thought so.

Soon, the opportunity to observe appeared.

West's offensive round...

Westbrook holds the ball and organizes the offense at the top of the arc.

At this time, the defensive strength of the Eastern team has been greatly improved compared to the beginning.

Westbrook waited for a long time, but he didn't see his teammates running out of the opportunity.

So, he beckoned to the inside line.

Soon, Love trots to the perimeter and sets a screen for Westbrook.

Westbrook stepped on the Hot Wheels, bypassed the screen and went straight to the basket.

After attracting the opponent's flanking attack, Westbrook jumped up and passed back, and handed the ball to Love, who bounced out after the pick-and-roll!
