Chapter 693 Yao Ming and the All-Star Game(2/2)
For example, in the three-point competition, Curry and Thompson participated in the first competition, but the final winner was Curry's teammate, Thompson, who was in the second grade.
In the end of the dunk contest, the rookie Terrence Ross defeated a number of opponents to win the championship.
These group of newcomers made this year's All-Star Game full of vitality and added a touch of different flavor.
Two days later, after the competition for various individual events, the All-Star Game opened at the Wizards' home court, Verizon Center Arena.
Fans from each team gathered in the stadium, waiting for the annual entertainment event, and looking forward to the performance of their favorite stars on the All-Star stage.
The warm-up session before the game also looks no big difference from usual.
James even showed a street dance in midfield like in the past.
When the warm-up session ended, both sides appeared one after another, and the curtain of the All-Star Game officially kicked off.
Yi Jianlian jumped to Yao Ming and officially opened the curtain for the All-Star Game.
The defense intensity on both sides was not high at the beginning of the game. James made a ball for Harden, and Harden scored a single-handed deduction.
Harden shined when he went to the Wizards. There were rumors outside that he was delayed by James and the Big Three, and some rumors of the two having a disagreement with the Knicks were reported.
James's opening choice directly "breaks" this rumor.
In the attack of the Western Conference, Curry took the ball through half the game and turned his head to give the ball to Sun Hao.
Although the two are no longer in the same team, the habits they have developed over the years have not changed.
After Sun Hao got the ball, Durant and Griffin both pulled away and prepared to watch him perform.
However, Sun Hao did not attack. He looked into the inside. Yao Ming was already in the inside.
A standard inside high lob, Yao Ming hit the ball easily after receiving the ball and hit the board.
Yi Jianlian didn't defend this ball seriously, but he couldn't defend it seriously.
So far, everything seems to be no different.
James continued to make balls for Harden, breaking rumors, and one ball alone is definitely not enough.
Harden is in good shape. This time, he hit a three-pointer from the outside and scored 5 points in a row at the beginning.
There were bursts of cheers at the scene.
This is no longer Yao Ming's home court, but the Wizards' team, Harden is now the Wizards' core.
While breaking the rumors, James is also changing his direction to win the favor of home fans.
You can win two birds with one stone, but basketball still has to be human and worldly.
The home fans were in a very good mood at this time, because if they continued to play at this pace, the two James would become the "protagonists" of this All-Star Game tonight.
Then, Sun Hao continued to lob the ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming also continued to fight Yi Jianlian.
This time Yi Jianlian took good care of it, but Yao Ming was also excited. He crushed Yi Jianlian and turned around and slammed it with a one-handed buckle.
Yi Jianlian looked at Yao Ming with a confused look: Brother, have you taken medicine tonight?
The fans at the scene were also stunned for a while, but then there were bursts of cheers.
Yao Ming has played in the Wizards for ten years and they have also watched the All-Star Game for ten years, but it is the first time that Yao Ming and the others have seen each other like this!
Don't say it, it looks very pleasant!
On the Eastern Conference side, James held the ball and organized it for Wade. This is the characteristic of the All-Star arena, and everyone plays with the ball.
Wade and Anthony played a tacit cooperation, but unfortunately Anthony's signature jump shot missed and the rebound was taken off by Yao Ming.
The Western Army advanced to the frontcourt again, and Sun Hao... did not continue to hang down the basket this time.
However, he called Yao Ming out to pick-and-roll!
One block and one break, one scored, and the ball was still in Yao Ming's hands.
Yao Ming also showed the All-Star entertainment nature that the outside world thought he did not have. After receiving the ball, he turned around and scored with a dribble!
This action made the fans on the scene feel excited again.
These two rounds have really refreshed their understanding of Yao Ming.
It turns out that Yao Ming can also play in the All-Star Game!
James broke through to the basket and scored two points.
Looking back, Curry is in control of the ball on the Western Conference.
Curry made a slam breaking through from outside the three-point line, attracting the defense and giving the ball to Yao Ming!
Curry's emotional intelligence is not low, and Uncle Sun's continuous actions at the beginning have already made him understand.
So there is no need to say Sun Hao at all, he is here to make a ball for Yao Ming!
The ball was passed beautifully. Yao Ming had a chance after getting the ball. He was not polite and directly scored with both hands at close range!
Cheers and whistles were heard everywhere.
Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentator were also stunned.
In the past All-Star Game, Yao Ming took 2 points and 2 rebounds to go down and rest.
Today is good. After only three minutes, Yao Ming has scored 8 points, and all the Western Army's 8 points!
What no one noticed at this time was O'Neal.
"Big Shark" looked a little red when he saw this scene and looked extremely excited.
As mentioned earlier, O'Neal is very much looking forward to Yao Ming being able to clear the center this season.
Yao Ming did it in the previous Christmas battle, and he loved Yao Ming so much.
So he was also very upset about the outside world's previous discussions, just because he was not easy to speak out by fans.
Then now seeing Yao Ming's abnormal performance in the All-Star Game and his understanding of Sun Hao, he probably expected what would happen.
Yao Ming wins the All-Star MVP?
He agreed with both hands and feet for such a thing!
In the All-Star Game for so many years, the center has rarely won MVP.
There is no ornamentality, and the ball is in the hands of the outside line.
If Yao Ming can give one more center MVP, he will definitely like it!
Just when he was happy, Yao Ming started playing in the offense, and he ran into the basket with one-stop ball from outside the three-point line and scored two plus one!
This finally made him unable to contain his excitement. He took off his headphones and jumped up from the commentary mat and shouted to celebrate:
Chapter completed!
