This Forward is Not Serious

But the biggest cheers belonged to Nowitzki, who came on last.

Although he was starting in place of the injured Kobe Bryant, as the core of the home team in this All-Star Game, it is no exaggeration to enjoy the cheers.

After the opening ceremony, players from both sides began to make final preparations before taking the field.

The substitute players put on their training uniforms and began to sit on the bench, while the starting players were gearing up to appear on the court.

James walked to the sidelines and began his signature powder toss.

After Lin Ying appeared on the stage, he looked around.

Well, a little nervous.

Although Crazy San also experienced it back then, his mentality was actually very different.

At first, I was only thinking about how to win, but I didn't pay much attention to the surroundings.

But for this kind of performance, I'm not sure if I can do it well.

This should also be the reason why Yao Ming was nervous back then.

Kobe is still here!

Over at the commentary box, Barkley, Smith and "Magic" Johnson have already begun to warm up.

This is the first time the All-Star Game has such a big battle, so they must be a little stressed.

Specifically, Barkley's speech has become much more serious.

The game started immediately, with all starting players from both teams on the field.

East: Wade, Joe Johnson, James, Garnett, Howard

West: Nash, Lin Ying, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Yao Ming

In the West, because Kobe Bryant has become Nowitzki, the lineup has become very exciting.

The Magic team is one big and four small. They are one small and four big.

However, this lineup will be very good in positional battles.

Here Yao Ming got the ball for the Western Team, and the Western Team started their first attack.

Barkley began his rare serious commentary on the sidelines:

"Nash controlled the ball in the frontcourt, Nowitzki used Yao's screen to come out, received the pass from Nash and shot...hit!

This is a classic tactical combination from the former Dallas Trident! "

Along with Barkley's explanation, Texas fans cheered.

The combination of Nash, Nowitzki and Finley is the memory of many Texas fans.

However, as soon as the cheers died down, the Eastern team served directly from the backcourt and James advanced quickly. Wade cut in from the sideline like lightning, received a pass from James, and dunked the ball.

There is a perfect understanding between the two 03 generations.

This is also due to the experience of the 2008 Olympic Games.

As one of the heroes who won the championship that year, they enjoyed the pleasure of playing with each other.

Looking back, it was still the same tactic, but this time the person doing the pick-and-roll was Lin Ying.

Nowitzki caught the ball and hit the misplaced Johnson with another mid-range jumper.

There were constant cheers at the scene, and the German tanks had enough ammunition tonight!

And we can also see the strategy of the Western Conference tonight.

They play a more traditional style and want to make Nowitzki the MVP tonight.

However, the Eastern team did not want to cooperate. This time James rushed directly inside and scored a layup.

These two giants of the 2003 generation also really want to win the MVP tonight!

After playing for more than three minutes, there was a substitution on the sidelines, and Duncan replaced Yao Ming.

This is obviously requested by Yao Ming himself. He has always been a formality in the All-Star Game.

Duncan came up and gave James a block.

This guy is indeed very sinister.

The Western team advanced to the frontcourt, Nash and Lin Ying played a Suns strategy, and the ball was knocked back to Lin Ying at the top of the key.

Barkley also followed up the commentary on the sidelines:

“Lin was standing at the top of the key and he looked like he was going to pass the ball.

He didn't pass it! He voted! This is an open opportunity! It’s just that the shooting angle is a bit off!

Wait, he's not shooting, he's passing the ball!

Bang! Nice pass! But why couldn't he smile?

I heard that no one had ever seen him smile, and some said he was Tim Duncan's half-brother.

etc! Look at him smiling! Oh my god, he's smiling at Tim Duncan! "

In Barkley's commentary, Lin Ying sent an alley-oop pass to Duncan, and Duncan completed the alley-oop dunk with his long arms.

Then, while retreating, Lin Ying pointed at Duncan and smiled.

The pair of "masters and apprentices" have always been rivals on the court. It's rare for them to become teammates, and they have such a tacit understanding when working together.

And after Lin Ying laughed, Duncan also laughed unconsciously.

This is called emotional contagion.

But after Duncan finished laughing, he immediately turned to look at the referee.

Fortunately "Bald" Crawford is not here.

But he immediately realized something was wrong, this was the All-Star Game.

Then he laughed again.

How presumptuous!

The first quarter lasted almost 6 minutes, and Lin Ying also came off the court to rest.

Playing in the All-Star Game for the first time, he was more involved.

Of course, the points were definitely scored. Nash had the ball, so he had a chance to shoot.

At this moment, the three starters of the Suns were sitting in a row, watching the PK between James and Anthony on the court.

James hasn't finished yet.

Just like the signal shown at the beginning, he is very eager to win this year's MVP.

Maybe it’s because he lost in last year’s finals, maybe it’s because the commercial value is greater due to the large number of people present, or maybe it’s just because he wants to win.

But this gave Anthony a chance. He was originally dissatisfied because he was pushed to the bench by Lin Ying and Stoudemire, and he faced James again.

What a surprise... sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

"Melo's two threats are good, but it's a pity that LeBron predicted it."

"LeBron's breakthrough is so great that Melo can only hold it back."

"Bang, this dunk is good, he looks like a king."

"This dry draw is good, it has the charm of T-mac."

…

The three of them chatting together were so happy that they felt more energetic than playing on the court themselves.

After a while, there were full substitute lineups on both sides of the court, and Durant also appeared on the court.

However, Lin Ying's eyes were attracted by another person at this moment.

Deron Williams.

This is also Deron's first time in the All-Star Game.

You couldn't tell when he was playing for the Jazz, but in the All-Star Game this guy can be so cool.

Not to mention the iconic drag and change of direction in front of the body, he even played a crotch pass.

It seemed that the Jazz's discipline sealed him away.

After having fun in the All-Star Game, they are also a showy group.

Because when he was in the Nuggets, he had been competing with the Jazz for the top spot in the division, so Lin Ying and Deron had quite a few interactions before.

Then thinking about his experiences in history, it was inevitable to feel a little emotional, which finally turned into two words: pity.

At his peak, Deron can easily average 20+10 per game, and thanks to his debut with the Jazz, his execution on the court is very strong.

His shooting percentage is close to 50% from field goals and 40% from three-point range. He is a very efficient combo guard.

And he plays really rhythmically, just like stepping on the beat of a drum. He moves my left hand and right hand in slow motion, and then passes you.

And like Nash, he is very good at pick-and-rolls and can pass the ball steadily.

If it weren't for the incident with Sloan and the late injuries that turned into meteors, his historical achievements would be much higher.

"Ying, why don't you go and stay with your Brooke?"

Just as he was sighing with emotion, Durant had already come down to rest and sat next to Lin Ying.

What's going on? There's a smell of vinegar overflowing from the screen?

Lin Ying turned around and glanced at Brooke.

Brooke was waving at him and blowing him a kiss.

Lin Ying also replied.

All-Stars have only been together for a few days, but the relationship between the two of them has grown quickly.

"I was wrong."

Durant apologized immediately after watching it.

He wanted to slap himself.

"I feel like you didn't fight much?"

Durant changed the topic.

"That's not good."

"fine?"

"Think about it, we can't win the MVP anyway, and we have no idea. Wouldn't it save time and effort to treat ourselves as an audience?"

Lin Ying came closer and said.

Durant was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

That seems to be the case.

And this should be the thinking of most players. Who in this world would be willing to be a green leaf for the success of others?

The key is that the All-Star Game is just a makeshift exhibition game. The outcome is not important, nor is the data.

Those who have no ideas can just ask for help, and those who have ideas can just go up and fight for it.

Soon, the game entered the second quarter.

Karl wanted Lin Ying to come, but Lin Ying said that he wanted to take a rest.

My mentor was easy to talk to, so I naturally followed him.

At this time, Lin Ying took Durant and started talking about dunks on the court.

And maybe because he felt that just talking was not interesting, he turned around and asked Su Feng to take out the audience-rated cards like yesterday's slam dunk contest.

He, Durant, Nash, Stoudemire, and Yao Ming each hold a card in their hands and score points when there is a dunk on the court.

For example, James drove straight in and made his iconic tomahawk dunk.

A group of people raised 10-point signs in unison.

The photographers at the scene quickly discovered them, and soon their "scoring" session was put on the large LED screen at the scene and also appeared in the live broadcast.

This moment triggered a burst of cheers from the fans.

Even Buckley couldn't help but laugh.

This program is very effective.

Soon the players on the field noticed them, and several of them started laughing.

And don't tell me, by doing this, the players on the court will suddenly become more prone to dunking.

For example, Anthony rushes in with the ball and dunks directly.

There are 789 points on the sidelines. After all, Anthony is not known for dunks.

On the other hand, in the Eastern Conference, James and Wade quickly became players who were often rated highly.

The two of them are still very good at dunking in actual combat.

And as mentioned before, both of them have a lot of desire to win the MVP tonight, and they also have a lot of dunks.

"Shadow, why do you always give Dwayne a 9?"

And Durant quickly noticed that Lin Ying seemed to be a little biased against Wade.

No matter how good the dunk is, he always gets 9 points, so Wade always fails to get full points.

Even Wade couldn't help but look here in confusion after dunking just now.

"Ah, get used to this."

Lin Ying looked slightly embarrassed.

After Wade's next successful dunk, he held up a 10-point sign.

But maybe the dunk wasn't exciting enough. Nash next to him only scored 9 points this time.

The result was still 49 points.

Lin Ying held his forehead.

I really can't blame him now.

It's not that he didn't give it, it's true that this dunk was only worth 49 points!

Before you know it, the game has reached the last quarter.

At the final decisive moment, Karl put Lin Ying up.

After all, the fans chose you to be the starter, so it won't matter if you sit on the sidelines all the time.

In the final decisive moment, both sides' lineups.

East: Rondo, Wade, James, Bosh, Howard

West: Deron, Durant, Anthony, Nowitzki, Lin Ying

At this time, the Eastern team's top scorer was Wade, who had already scored 25 points, James scored 23 points, Bosh also had 21 points, and Howard had 17 points.

What Van Gundy means is to let these people compete for MVP on the court.

It's a different situation here in the West. They want to ensure Nowitzki wins the MVP.

So by the end of the game, the tone seemed to be the same as it was at the beginning.

The quality of both teams' offensive and defensive play in the end was very high, and the scores also increased alternately.

At the end of the game, the outcome is basically determined by one goal.

30 seconds before the end of the game, the Western team leads 139 to 138.

The Western team has the ball and will kill the game as long as they make a shot.

There was a pick-and-roll tactic for Nowitzki, but Anthony stepped forward to steal the show. After taking the ball, he directly signaled for a single.

Only then did the fans realize that Anthony scored a lot of points in the final decisive moment. At this time, he had scored 25 points, only 1 point less than Nowitzki.

Of course, the Eastern team will not let him score at this decisive moment.

After he rushed in with the ball, he was flanked and forced his shot to miss the basket.

Seeing the basketball hit the basket and come out, Anthony slapped his thigh in frustration.

The Eastern team grabbed the rebound and Fan called a timeout.

Now let’s look at the Western Conference’s defense in the final round.

After the timeout, James gave the ball to Wade. At this time, both of them scored 25 points.

This scene seems familiar to fans.

In the 2007 All-Star Game, Kobe only had 2 points more than Stoudemire. Then Kobe gave the ball to Stoudemire for the final three-pointer.

At that time, as long as Stoudemire scored, the MVP would be his.

Wade faced Durant with the ball, quickly changed direction and went directly to the basket.

Wade didn't hold anything back on the last ball, and it passed like lightning.

Durant was stunned and performed a wooden stake for the fans.

Lin Ying decisively assisted in defense at the basket.

If James gives up the ball, it's impossible for Wade to not attack.

Wade... really didn't attack!

He gave the ball back to James on the outside!

Good guy, it turns out you two are showing off your affection like this!

However, James was not used to taking shots at the last moment. After catching the ball, he shook Durant, who was helping to defend.

Because it was too late, he could only take a forceful shot against Durant.

Durant's long arms are in front, so it's basically a matter of luck.

"Dang!"

James' last shot hit the basket and came out!

Lin Ying grabbed the final rebound and the game was over!

The Texas fans at the scene were in a state of revelry.

The Western Conference narrowly won, and Nowitzki scored the highest score in the game. This is a standard "happy.ending"!

The fans at the scene were reveling, and the players on the court were also congratulating Nowitzki.

Although the results have not been officially announced, Nowitzki has the highest score and it is Texas' home court, so there is zero chance that he will not be given the chance.

And if he wins this MVP, Nowitzki, the three major MVPs, will only have the final FMVP left!

At this moment, Lin Ying noticed that James, Wade, and Bosh were gathered together in the Eastern Team's half court, probably encouraging each other.

Wade and James, in particular, seemed even more intimate as they passed each other around at the last moment.

Do you think they lost?

No, they win in the future.

This wave is in the atmosphere.
