Chapter 192 Borrowing a knife to kill
The 2010 All-Star Game was held at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Today, a total of 108,713 fans came to the court, setting a record for the largest number of basketball games ever. The previous one with the largest number of basketball games dates back to December 14, 2003, when the match between the University of Kentucky and Michigan State attracted 78,129 fans to watch the game.
"I know the importance of this game in front of so many audiences, and I know what I can do. I have done it before." Wu Huang said of the NCAA Finals in April last year. Although the attendance rate was not as high as in 2003, it also reached a scale of 70,000 people. "I just need to prove myself as I used to, play a key performance at the last moment, and lead the team to win," he said.
Emperor Wu said this a bit arrogant, especially the following sentence "Show a key performance at the last moment and lead the team to victory." This is completely renowned. Once it is heard by other stars, they will definitely complain, "Who are you? Which one do you have to lead?"
In the media's opinion, this year's All-Stars, with Kobe and Iverson absent due to injury, the 96 Golden Generation officially withdrew from the world in this All-Star Game, and the 03 Generation has supported the overall situation. They are the backbone of the NBA in the next ten years.
Emperor Wu disdained this again and thought to himself how could they have played for ten years? It's almost time to step down until next year.
Iverson and Kobe will be replaced by Chauncey Billups and David Lee, which is why the New York center can enter the All-Star, and it can be considered a lucky chance. Before Kobe and Iverson, two players have withdrawn from the All-Star due to injuries, namely Chris Paul of the Hornets and Brandon Roy of the Trail Blazers.
Eastern Conference All-Stars: Wu Huang (Knicks), Dwyane Wade (Heat), LeBron James (Cavs), Kevin Garnett (Celtics), Dwight Howard (Magic).
Eastern Conference All-Star Substitute: Rajon Rondo (Celtic), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Paul Pierce (Celtics), Gerald Wallace (Boncats), Chris Bosh (Raptors), Al Hoverd (Hawks), David Lee (Knicks)
Head coach: Stan Van Gundy
Western Conference All-Stars: Steve Nash (Sun), Jason Kidd (Mavericks), Cameron Anthony (Nuggets), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Amare Stoudemire (Suns)
Subs: Chauncey Billups (Nuggets), Tony Parker (Spurs), Deron Williams (Jazz), Kevin Durant (Thunder), Tim Duncan (Spurs), Zach Randolph (Grizzlies), Paul Gasol (Lakes).
Head coach: Rick Carlisle.
This year's All-Star Game suffered a serious injury crisis, and many stars missed the game, but this also gave other stars, especially young stars, the opportunity. This year, many players who were selected for the All-Star for the first time were born, most of them very young.
Chinese fans secretly regretted Wu Huang. With the popularity of Kobe, Paul and Roy, these popular defenders, fell one after another, this All-Star Game seems to be a little dim compared to previous years. For the NBA, great defenders are always their biggest selling point. The magical physical fitness and perfect elegance of the game on the court are one of the best ways to show their charm in the NBA. They are also an absolute guarantee of box office.
Why is it a pity for Wu Huang? Because he happens to be this kind of player. Billups, Parker, Delong and others are not bad at all, but they are difficult to be selected as All-Star. The fundamental reason is that their style of playing is not elegant enough and they are not pleasing to the eye when playing. But Wu Huang has these traits, and he is also nicknamed the NBA's appearance by many basketball fans, and he has the flavor of fighting with Beckham in the football world.
If Wu Huang was playing in the West, then he would have the opportunity to be the protagonist this year, but now he will be suppressed by James and Wade in the East. Of course, his fans will feel sorry for him.
Introduction to the entry before the game, James and Howard from the Eastern Team played gently and danced their bodies, making them look full of postures. However, Wu Huang, who was arranged to appear in the middle, did not have any extra movements. He just stood there and was too lazy to move, perfectly interpreting what invisible show-off is, the most fatal!
The Western Army's appearance was simple and unpretentious, and there was no unnecessary movement, nor did it imitate Howard and James' pose.
Emperor Wu was complaining wildly, because in the group meeting in the locker room before the game, James and Wade colluded with each other and forced to place the main attack point tonight on Bosh, because Bosh's hometown was in Dallas.
When Emperor Wu saw Bosh, he was so grateful that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them.
This guy James is also very cunning. This bastard really treats himself as the boss of the East. He makes decisions without asking others about the opinions of others and sets the tone of tonight's game.
The East will be attacked by the Dragon King tonight, followed by Wade. The Orangutan King will naturally lead the three armies and take the lead in the middle to transport ammunition for the two, so the ball rights belong to him is the Gorilla.
"Damn, what else is there for me?" Wu Huang's desire for ball rights is no worse than Kobe, but under such an arrangement, how can he have the chance to perform?
Stan Van Gundy smiled on the sidelines. He did not participate in the players' meetings when he was in the locker room because in such a game, he was a decor and had no room for interruption. But don't forget that he has the right to allocate playing time.
"I'll stagger your playing time and put that little guy with an unhappy face on it to see if you will fight at that time." This bald fat man was full of bad water, and not many people knew that he was a typical James and Hei. Although he could not reduce the playing time between James and Wade, David Stern would not let him go, but he could increase the playing time of Emperor Wu. I believe that the president is also happy to see this situation.
The three giants who had been in a collusion for a long time still don't know that their temporary coach was full of calculating and bad intentions, and was ready to use a knife to kill people to disgust them.
Today is the first time the NBA All-Star Game is playing in the big stadium. It is hard to imagine the visual experience of watching the basketball game in the highest stands of a court that can accommodate 100,000 people. Judging from the panoramic photos taken from the highest stands of this NBA All-Star Game, the basketball court below is only as big as a matchbox, and the broadcast screen above the court is larger than the basketball court, and the audience in the back row basically sits on the scene to "watch TV".
Even players are not very adaptable to such a venue, but the benefit is that they can have more than an hour of warm-up time before the game because the stadium is too large and it takes more time for fans to sit.
Emperor Wu kept chatting with David Li while warming up. Although these bastards did not exorcise him openly today, they also faced each other coldly and no one took the initiative to talk to him. If he hadn't had David Li Zhaoying, it would be almost the same as being isolated.
This phenomenon is actually very normal. The 12 players in the East have different ages and qualifications. But there is one thing that is, they are not young anymore. There are very few players under 25 years old. Then Wu Huang, who was just 20 years old, has no common language, and the 20-year-old generation 03, and even older Pierce, Garnett and others.
To give a random example, half of these people have not opened Twitter and Facebook, or have opened them but have not started business, which is enough to show their generation gap.
If Derek Ross did not withdraw due to injury, then Wu Huang still has a teammate of similar age, but now only Rondo and Horford are similar to him. However, they are three or four years apart, and both of them have their own teammates in the team, so they will not communicate too much with him. They are real competitors.
"These guys didn't openly exclude me. I thought they were afraid that I would give up. After all, I was the point guard and it was impossible not to touch the ball. I still have to take some consideration into the inside line." Wu Huang thought to himself, but he ignored one point. The inside line had to serve at the bottom line. If he didn't send the ball to him, could he still go up and grab it by himself?
I don’t know how long I waited, but Emperor Wu felt that he had already thrown in hundreds of three-pointers before the game finally started.
Jumping ball at the opening game. Howard vs. Stoudemire.
The little bully's knee, which had minimally invasive surgery, was obviously not the top Warcraft opponent. He failed to compete for the ball and the Eastern Stars team got the ball rights.
After James got the basketball, he did not pass it to Wu Huang at all. He brought it to the frontcourt and waved his hand to protect the ball, which meant that he moved to the weak side.
"Damn it!" Emperor Wu was furious. He had never encountered such a thing since he was in the second year of high school. No matter in college or NBA, no one dared to play like this in front of him. Today, he finally met someone who did not give him face. It was simply a rebellious thing.
James doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing this. He has been playing like this since he was a child. No one dares to say that he is not bad. He can wave his hand and give face.
Emperor Wu was extremely unhappy, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only run to the weak side. Otherwise, the fans and the media would not say how James was doing, but would only say that he ignored the overall situation.
Wade kept his pace after landing and cut directly into the basket.
James threw the basketball to the basket from the outside, and the Western Conference Stars defensive player waved his hand symbolically, watching the Flash hit a one-handed dunk after an aerial relay, and won the first score of this All-Star Game.
As soon as the game started, James and Wade contributed a wonderful performance, and the 100,000 fans in the Cowboy Stadium immediately cheered warmly!
The Western Army was also unambiguous, and nowitzki turned his head and took a mid-range pass from his old teammate Nash.
Emperor Wu also had a symbolic defense against Nash. He knew that in the All-Star Game, he could not act like he was abide by the rules of the game.
Although Nowitzki's goal was not as exciting as the Eastern Conference, as the host, he still received warmer applause and cheers than before. Today, the protagonist of the West is obviously Nowitzki.
Wu Huang stopped in the backcourt to catch the ball, but what he didn't expect was that James snatched the job from the inside and served the ball nearby, and actually passed the ball to Wade.
"Damn!" Emperor Wu was really angry now. Isn't this a naked slap in the face? Is his relationship with the gorilla so bad?
The fans and media watching this game also saw that Wu Huang was actually targeted?
There have been news before the All-Star Game that Wu Huang would be treated coldly at the All-Star Game. I thought it was a vulgar hype from the media, but I didn't expect it to be a reality.
When did the point guard fail to receive the ball after the opening game? What is this not targeting?
Wade dribbled to the frontcourt this time and handed the ball to James. The latter's backward jump shot missed and Nowitzki got the rebound.
Nash quickly advanced, and Emperor Wu didn't bother to curse James in his heart, and hurriedly followed the Canadians.
Anthony received the pass, drove it twice and then passed it to Nowitzki, who was placed outside the three-point line. The German tank made another jump shot, this time it was a three-point shot. The Western Conference quickly started with a 5:2, and Nowitzki scored five points alone.
This time it was Garnett serving. The Wolf King had no friendship with James. The Celtics and the Cavaliers met several times in the playoffs. Both sides had already formed a feud. The four giants of the Celtics were all James and the point guard Wu Huang finally received the basketball.
James immediately waved to Emperor Wu. However, Emperor Wu, who was secretly hated in his heart, just passed the ball and then closed the ball and broke through Nash, who was not good at defending but was not defending today.
Nowitzki is at home today. He is very motivated and actually defends Wu Huang's breakthrough in the interior.
"Die me!" Wu Huang reacted very quickly. He found that Nowitzki's assisting defense was not very timely. He thought he didn't really defend with all his might, but the home factor drove him to make up for defense, so he chose to be strong in this ball and jumped against Nowitzki in rare cases...
Nowitzki secretly shouted "Not good" in his heart. Emperor Wu's speed was too fast. Before he could jump up, Emperor Wu had already flew towards him and made a dunk move through him. He didn't even have the reaction time to shoot Emperor Wu when he was bad. Everything came too fast!
With a loud "bang", Emperor Wu jumped towards Nowitzki and made a double-handed dunk through his opponent! The huge impact force spread his hands open, but Nowitzki, who had not yet stood firm, directly knocked out of the boundary. He leaned against the buffer pad on the basketball stand and did not have the tragedy of being knocked away.
But to be honest, it is not a small tragedy to be blocked by Emperor Wu in this way, especially in the All-Stars, and at home. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great shame.
"Who told you to be so serious about me in the All-Star Game? Maybe you will be in a snag with them and want to target me, so you asked for it." Emperor Wu also felt that he was too ruthless, but when he thought of what he was targeted, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. Wouldn't it be so much trouble to let me deduct one?
The fans of the court fell into silence for five seconds, and then the booing sounds of landslides surged from all directions. Most of the 100,000 fans were cursing at Wu Huang. They would not consider Nowitzki was still serious in the All-Star Game, and would only scold Wu Huang, a bastard who was so brave. He dared to be so arrogant on their territory, and it was right to target him. It was so damn!
"Yellow-skinned monkey, don't think you can leave Dallas alive!"
"******, I will tear you out!"
"Get out of Dallas, you are not welcome here!"
“…………”
Emperor Wu still remained calm in the face of overwhelming curses. His psychological quality was also perverted. The curses and booings to 100,000 people in such a large arena were not something that ordinary people could imagine, unless this person was deaf.
"This kid is cruel enough!" James looked at Emperor Wu, who was still looking at him, and he was a little impressed. At least he couldn't be so calm.
Wu Huang has already stood on the free throw line. The previous dunk not only allowed him to win his representative work in his career, but Nowitzki's foul was also obvious. The referee could not have played against him because he was a victim and was playing at home. Wu Huang's attack this time became 2+1.
CCTV guest Su Qun took this opportunity to predict the candidates for MVP: "From the perspective of the West, if they can win the game, Nash, Durant, Anthony and Nowitzki are more likely to win the MVP, while James and Wade are the most likely in the East, but the overall height of the players in the West is relatively high. If the East plays fast break, it may be a challenge to the West. At the same time, Wu Huang's opportunity will come. He is the player who can play fast break the East, after all, D'Antoni's disciple."
Wu Huang, with the booed by all the fans, made a free throw and got a three-pointer.
In fact, not all fans are booing him. One hundred thousand people cannot be Dallas fans, but home fans must have the majority. Wu Huang's female fans and Knicks fans cannot account for much of the 100,000 people. It seems like all fans are booing him.
The next game was not tense because of this dunk from the other person. Nowitzki showed his magnanimity. After being buckled by Yan + dunk, he actually stepped forward and patted Wu Huang on the shoulder, and made an expression that you kid was too heavy to attack, and he witty to get rid of the embarrassment.
Emperor Wu was very convinced of Nowitzki's urgent wisdom. Such a small way helped him get rid of the embarrassment. This is the manifestation of IQ.
However, his own embarrassment continued. James and Wade always got the ball, especially after Garnett, who had an injury, got off the court after playing for a few minutes, his situation became very bad because Bosh replaced the Wolf King, and it was really hard for him to encounter basketball now.
Chapter completed!
