Chapter 878 Master Wei's Revenge!(1/2)
Due to the 75th anniversary celebration, all previous major competitions were covered up by the 75th anniversary celebrations this year.
Cunningham won the MVP in this year's All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge.
This year's All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge Championship and the 3-point contest and the slam dunk contest were won by Morant, Michael Porter Jr. and Obitopin.
At the end of the 75th anniversary, the 75 superstars were ranked, and the All-Star Weekend game also started at the Cavaliers' home court ‘Godand King’ Arena.
On the court, when Chen Xiao and James, the two captains, led their respective teams to appear on the court, the Cavaliers fans on the court once again cheered wildly and the warmest cheers they gave to Chen Xiao and James on the court.
Chen Xiao and James both entered the top 20 in the NBA's historical status, and Chen Xiao even ranked first in NBA history.
If James really completes 411 heroes in the final stage of his career, he may even continue to move forward in his historical position.
For Cleveland fans, they feel extremely proud of having two such players.
However, just as James and Chen Xiao were enjoying the glory of the Cavaliers fans on the scene, Westbrook, sitting on the bench, had a very ugly expression on his face.
Although it was also a glorious thing for him tonight, he was selected into the top 75 and was still very high in ranking.
However, this is what others think. In Westbrook's view, he averaged three-double per game so many times in his career, and he was only ranked in the second-tier of the 75 superstars, which is absolutely unacceptable to him.
At least, in his opinion, is he worse than Stocktons in the top 50?
He was not respected enough for his entire career, and he was directly ignored by LeBron James in the All-Star Game selection, which made him very unhappy.
Especially now watching James enjoy the glory of the fans on the scene, he is very upset about himself here.
This year's All-Star Weekend, I, Westbrook, want to be the protagonist!
Of course, the two starters on the court did not feel Westbrook's anger, or in other words, there were not many players in Westbrook's All-Star Game this year who would pay attention to him.
This is a very interesting thing. A player who always averages triple-double in the season is not even a protagonist on the All-Star Weekend, not only is he not a protagonist, but his main supporting role is not even considered.
At this time, the starting players on both sides of the court have already stood up.
On the James side, the starting lineup is Jokic, James, Durant, Leonard, and Curry.
On the Chen Xiao team, the starting lineup is Gao Bo, Chen Xiao, Paul George, Ross, and Morant.
Well, from the starting lineups on both sides, there is indeed some gap on paper.
The James team is full of super giants, while the Chen Xiao team, so far, Gao Bo, Paul George, and Morant are not recognized as super giants, they can only be considered super stars.
Therefore, before the game, many people said that James will fully support James to win the MVP.
If it were James in history, he would definitely not be able to suppress these super giants from the same team to compete for MVP for him. However, although James in this time and space did not enter the top ten, he led a team like Cleveland to four finals and won two championships. James has a very high status in the NBA and a god-level figure.
Therefore, everyone is willing to sell James' face at Cleveland, James' home court.
This is the situation before the All-Star Game.
On the Chen Xiao team, Chen Xiao did not say that he would win the MVP in this All-Star Game, and no other superstar in the team was qualified to ask Chen Xiao to win this honor for him.
Therefore, this time, the stars of Chen Xiao are quite Buddhist in the All-Star Game.
It basically belongs to a state of no desire or desire, at least, this is the case in the starting lineup.
At the beginning of the game, Gao Bo and Jokic jumped the ball. In the end, Gao Bo, who was taller, successfully defeated Jokic and won the chance to jump.
Gao Bo won the chance to jump the ball for Chen Xiao, while Chen Xiao personally dribbled the ball through the half.
As the power forward in this game, when Chen Xiao took the ball through half the game, James, who faced Chen Xiao, immediately ran over to defend Chen Xiao closely.
Seeing Chen Xiao and James playing against each other at the beginning on the court, the Cavaliers fans at the scene bursts of applause and cheers.
Even the substitutes of the two All-Star teams on the sidelines, as well as the 75 superstars in the stands around them, were making excitement.
As for the All-Star Game, no matter how Jordan reforms or how he artificially creates grudges, it is actually an exhibition game in the final analysis.
Since it is an exhibition match, then the gimmick and eye-catching confrontation are the protagonists.
Although NBA players generally have not that high IQ, they are not that low either.
Who would really offend people in the All-Star Game? What kind of grudges will arise?
Unless it was like the assassin who deliberately made Jordan, Jordan had no choice but to fight back.
Well, these people who thought this way did not notice Westbrook's eyes at this time.
Westbrook feels that this All-Star Game is James, Chen Xiao and the whole world are targeting him.
Why is there no one to choose from with his strength?
Is this suitable?
However, Chen Xiao and James, who were smiling and fighting on the field, did not know that they had not chosen Westbrook, so they offended Westbrook.
On the court, facing James' defense, Chen Xiao, who dribbled the ball with his back, suddenly deceived James with a fake pass with his right hand, and then turned around and broke through James.
After James, Chen Xiao rushed to the basket directly, and no player around had the intention of rushing over and blocking Chen Xiao.
Are you embarrassed to interrupt a 40-year-old man’s desire to dunk?
If you really want to come up to help with defense, you will be really ignorant. You may not be cheered by the fans on the scene, but you will be booed by the audience on the scene. The online audience and the audience in front of the TV may also be dissatisfied.
With a clang!
Chen Xiao singled out James, made a fake fax breakthrough, broke through the basket, turned around and dunked 360 degrees, winning the first score for this All-Star Game.
After hitting the dunk, Chen Xiao came down from the basket and pointed at James with a provocative look on his face.
When James saw Chen Xiao’s provocation, he immediately responded to his face in the next round. Facing Chen Xiao’s single defense, he put James in two steps outside the three-point line. James took two steps outside the three-point line and made a long-distance three-pointer, and hit it with a flash!
3 to 2!
James returned the color.
James' shooting percentage of three-pointers in history is good.
Maybe because he missed a three-pointer from a very long distance, no one said he was not mentally stressed.
On the contrary, James' shooting percentage is sometimes very bad when he is taken from outside the three-point line.
Well, there is a lot of psychological pressure. Such a simple shot is not a hit, and it is easy to have some unnecessary thoughts.
In this time and space, James has much stronger psychological qualities. Although the shooting limit is similar to James in historical time and space, he just reached the upper limit in advance.
However, James' three-point shooting percentage is much better than in history.
So, although James did not enter the top ten in history, it is basically recognized that James is the contender for the most powerful forward in NBA history.
With strength, shooting, offense at the basket, breakthrough, three-pointers, and passes, James is almost a template for a perfect power forward.
"The Legend of Fairy Wood"
Therefore, when many celebrities choose the best lineup in history, James appears very frequently.
This time Chen Xiao's defense against James is basically giving James a chance to perform.
Let's just say that, if Chen Xiao really wants to defend James from outside the three-point line, James cannot single against Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao has strength and good defensive skills. Although his explosion and speed are no longer as good as James, as long as Chen Xiao takes a step back, James cannot break through.
James's strongest one is the pick-and-roll, but this is in the All-Star. Chen Xiao just succeeded in a one-on-one single against him. If he wants to borrow the pick-and-roll, it would be a bit embarrassing.
James wants to play Chen Xiao alone, the only way out is that Chen Xiao deliberately let him go, otherwise it would be difficult for him to play Chen Xiao one-on-one.
The witty James naturally knew about this, so from his first attack, James knew that Chen Xiao was fulfilling him.
Although the two of them were playing one-on-one confrontation scenes like this, in fact, Chen Xiao was not trying to compete with him, but was helping him.
Having figured out these things, James naturally had to repay his favor when he defended Chen Xiao next time.
And it is also cooperating with Chen Xiao.
Because judging from Chen Xiao's first breakthrough, Chen Xiao is preparing to play James in this All-Star Game.
Then, he hoped that James was using Chen Xiao's way to hit Chen Xiao.
This is a gimmick, a gimmick that Chen Xiao can blatantly fulfill James's.
Since this is the case, it will be very easy to deal with.
In the next few minutes, the Cavaliers fans on the sidelines, the fans on the Internet will be blessed.
Under James' defense, Chen Xiao used James's playing method to crazily hit James' dunk.
On the other hand, James scored various three-point shots under Chen Xiao's defense.
On the court, Chen Xiao clanged wildly!
And James was frantically brushing!
As for the other All-Star players on the court, they were cooperating with James and Chen Xiao to show their opinions in front of Cavaliers fans.
Of course, Chen Xiao and James also knew that everything they did was to have a degree, and it was impossible for them to perform the whole session.
After three minutes of singles, the two immediately started to cooperate with their teammates.
As Chen Xiao said, he also wants to cooperate with Gao Bo in this game to play the NBA.
James also needs to fill in his own data statistics to lay the foundation for the final MVP.
After learning that Chen Xiao was willing to fulfill his intention, James no longer had any questions about his All-Star MVP tonight.
