Chapter 140 The Most Watery MVP
One hundred and seven to one hundred and three. After Stephen dunked, the first-grade team had already surpassed the score by four points. The four-point gap also made the second-grade team realize the danger and the seriousness of the situation. If they continue to play so concisely, the second-grade team will definitely lose.
Without the coaching arrangement, the second-grade team made adjustments on the court. Both teams fought alone, both offense and defense, and had no tactics at all. In comparison, the second-grade team is slightly better than the first-grade team in terms of ability and experience.[]
In particular, Roll Deng and Ben Gordon are both players of the Bulls, so they naturally have certain advantages in cooperation. After Ben Gordon was blocked from his breakthrough, he immediately turned around and passed the ball to Roll Deng on one side, and then immediately turned around and cut in. Roll Deng naturally knew his offensive habits very well and immediately passed the ball over.
Granger, who defended Ben Gordon, was successfully broken by Ben Gordon after just a little relaxed. Cooperd immediately came to make up for the defense, but with his movement speed, he could get close to Ben Gordon. Ben Gordon got into the basket like a clever mouse, raised his hand and threw it up, and the ball went up and then entered the basket.
After halfway through the dribble, Chris Paul did not hand the ball to Stephen as he did before, but suddenly accelerated and relied on the way behind him. Then he stopped and changed direction, avoided Rollden's steal, and used a fake move to shake his body, and immediately cheated Christic and jumped up. Then Chris Paul made a move and hit it.
It was the cooperation of Rollden and Ben Gordon again. This time it was Ben Gordon. After dribbling, he ran past Villanuef and attracted Villanuef's attention, he suddenly turned the ball backward, and Rollden immediately made a move outside the three-point line.
With only one point advantage, this offense is very important. As long as you score, you can continue to put pressure on the opponent, otherwise the opponent will have the possibility of overtaking. However, at this critical moment, Chris Paul was suddenly hit by Harris and Iguodala at the bottom corner.
Stephen shouted loudly from the back. After Chris Paul learned his position, he passed the ball between Iguodala's legs. After Stephen received the ball, he was already empty in defense. Although Roll Deng was rushing from one side, it was obviously too late.
Although there is another Christy in the penalty area, Christy has an obvious disadvantage, that is, his turn is slow, so Stephen rushed directly into the penalty area. Before Christy could turn around, Stephen had already jumped into the air and dunked directly and knocked Christy to the ground.
Although Iguodala made another shot outside the three-point line and tied the score, but when she came back, Kupad used his strength to force Christi to fight. Although he failed to hit, he knocked Christi to the ground again. Howard couldn't sit still below. There were few inside players in the second-year team. Seeing that Christi was bullied repeatedly, there would be no one if he didn't go out again.
The second-year team quickly made an adjustment and replaced Howard. This guy is indeed worthy of the nickname of "Warcraft". As soon as he came on the court, he blocked Villanuef's shot near the free throw line. He came back and staged an alley relay cooperation with Harris to overtake the score.
This guy is so difficult to deal with. Stephen looked at it without moving in a hurry, thinking about waiting for a while before he could see it. Who knew that Granger rushed up first to serve as a test subject for Stephen. When he rushed over, Howard was still entangled with Cooper. As soon as he rushed into the penalty area, Howard turned around. Granger originally wanted to shake Howard over with a fake move, but he didn't expect to fall into Howard's trap instead and was dizzy by Howard's hat.
As soon as he came on the court, he contributed a dunk and two blocks. Howard immediately raised his arms and showed his strong muscles to the audience. The ball was still on the first-year team. After Stephen got the ball this time, he continued to rush towards the inside. Howard continued to try and was about to show his bounce on Stephen again. Who knew that Stephen did not give him this opportunity at all. As soon as he approached, Stephen immediately turned around and gave him a back.
Stephen was actually preparing to play a powerful center forward like Howard on his back, and Mantang burst into laughter. The offensive method of playing a single behind his back is rare in the All-Star Game, and a player like Stephen played a big inside player with a huge body gap, which looked more like a farce.
Howard was so angry that he was about to turn his nose. It would be fine if you said someone else would come to play himself, but you dare to play him with him under two meters. This would be too much of a no. 1 pick for yourself. Moreover, Stephen could win the best rookie with a second round pick. But he didn't get the No. 1 pick back then, which made him feel a little hostile to Stephen inexplicably.
When Howard still had three points of strength when he was on the top, he was still afraid of flying Stephen out, so the referee gave him another foul. Who knew that as soon as he hit him, Stephen happened to exert force, and suddenly felt a huge and unmatched force rebounding, almost being pushed to the ground. He took two or three steps in a row to relieve his strength and stabilize his pace. At this time, Stephen had already easily entered the Astronomy Network.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so big and his feet were so soft." While running, Stephen was still talking sarcastic to Cooper, and almost rushed over and beat Stephen up. It would be fine if you bullied me, but he even said this to others. However, thinking of Stephen's force index that was far beyond normal people, Howard did not dare to do this.
The audience was naturally very happy to watch. They felt majestic and domineering just now, and they covered two big hats in a row. Unexpectedly, after just a while, a small player was gently pushed and revealed his true colors. Houston fans suddenly thought of Howard's performance when facing Yao Ming. This guy's feet were indeed very soft.
Affected by this, the momentum of the second-year team suddenly declined. After Iguodala failed to make a single, he hurriedly passed the ball to Stephen. Seeing that Harris had retreated to the front, Stephen did not launch a fast attack, and slowed down and dribbled the ball step by step.
When Stephen saw that Coupard and Howard were entangled in the inside, he immediately passed the ball to Coupard. Coupard also started to play Howard with his back and forth, compared to Stephen, he was even taller than Howard, so although Howard had tried his best, he was still squeezed into the inside step by step by step by step by step.
After half a season of training, although the fire in the inside was pure, it was considered to be perfect. He saw his shoulders swaying and his feet tried in the middle. Just as Howard gave up the hard top and was about to jump and block the shot, Cooper suddenly turned to the bottom line again. Although Howard also turned as fast as possible, he still had no choice but to face the steady and steady Kupard, so he had to watch Cooper put the ball into the basket.
Originally, Howard played to solve the weakness of the sophomore insider, but he didn't expect it to become a weakness. Although he had great bounce and blocking shots, he could not play his strengths when facing a freak like Stephen and a pure power player like Cooper.
However, Ben Gordon and Iguodala felt pretty good on the outside, barely able to keep up with the scoring momentum of the first grade, so that the first grade team could not widen the score. In this way, the first grade team still led by six points with 119 to 113, and at this time Stephen's score had reached twenty-seven points.
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was decided, Iguodala suddenly fired a gun outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer. Then the second-grade team pressed the ball against the first-grade team again. Chris Paul passed the ball to Granger who came to meet him. Granger accidentally was intercepted by Rollden, who was eyeing him, and passed it directly to Ben Gordon. Ben Gordon raised his hand and made a three-pointer. Seeing the ball flew into the basket, the second-grade team began to cheer.
There were 119 draws and there were 37 seconds left in the game. Sidney called a timeout and did not arrange more tactics, but instead let the players relax. After all, these are first-year players, and then let the players decide who will complete the attack.
Everyone unanimously turned their attention to Stephen. As the player with the highest scoring in the first-year team, Stephen did not perform well in outside shooting, but three shots were quite reasonable. Moreover, Stephen's scoring method was the most confident. Just because he was trying to seize Howard's strength, no one in the second-year team could compete.
Stephen naturally would not be humble at this time, and immediately directed his teammates to run the position and block the position of the person who should block the position. Chris Paul is still responsible for the ball. As soon as he approached the three-second zone, Chris Paul's pass must arrive. After all this is arranged, the first-year team began to play.
Who knew that the second-year team adopted the tactic of shrinking defense. All five people stood one meter within the three-point line, not giving Stephen the space to enter the three-second zone. No matter how they ran outside, the opponent was unmoved. Stephen was not polite to them. He stood outside the three-point line and glanced. Seeing that the opponent still refused to come out to defend, he made up his mind to bet on the feel, Stephen no longer hesitated and directly threw towards the basket.
Seeing the ball flew into the basket extremely neatly, Stephen yelled, hehe, the second-grade team lost a handful of rice. They originally wanted to bet on their own three-pointers, but now Stephen made a three-pointer, forcing them to shoot three-pointers, and then play overtime, otherwise they would accept the fate of failure.
In this way, the first-year defense is very easy. Just expand the defense line outside the three-point line. Anyway, they will not shoot in the three-point line. However, the first thing the first team has to do is to press down on the defense, waste their offensive time, and make them more nervous.
After the difficult dribble, all five of the sophomore teams, except Howard, stood at the three-point line. With three seconds left, the ball came to Iguodala's hand. He ignored Stephen's hand that had reached in front of him and directly threw the ball into the basket.
With a "bang", the ball hit the basket. Howard jumped up and took the rebound, and then ended the attack with a powerful dunk. However, the difference of one point still forced them to hate today's Toyota Center. After three consecutive years, the first-grade team finally defeated the second-grade team. Stephen, who got 30,7 baskets and four assists, naturally got the most MVP in the All-Star Game.
