161. Do your best
(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
During the midfield, the twelve All-Stars gathered in the locker room and buzzed noisy. Chamberlain was the protagonist, and a group of birds kept making fun of him.
Serious people like Duncan and Nowitzki just asked him about his relationship with Taylor Swift, while Iverson and Anthony were asking questions that stunned Chamberlain:
"Taylor's long legs are good, how does it feel when playing? I think if I tempted to make a stocking, I can play for the whole night..."
"How many cups does she have? I like basketball girls. Taylor is not my dish. Every time I see her little breasts, I always sigh, who will feed her children in the future? You must know that breast milk is the most nutritious milk. I grew up eating breast milk. Look, how strong I am!"
"That girl is not easy to mess with. Do you know her first song? Yes, it's tim-mcgraw. That song records the story between her and her first love boyfriend. Damn, that girl is so cruel. After breaking up, she made such a song. Now the whole country knows that there is no man anymore. I guess that unlucky guy will never find a wife in his life."
Chamberlain smiled bitterly, he explained a few words in vain, but when he saw that there was no effect, he simply shut up. Even if he spoke, he would discuss the tactics of the second half with Billups. He had a premonition that he would play again in the second half.
Sure enough, after returning from the midfield, both sides stepped onto the field again. The Western team was Chamberlain + Nowitzki + Anthony + Billups + Paul, while the Eastern team was Howard + Jamison + James + Wade + Bosh. Four geniuses from the Golden Generation of Zero Three stood together.
The ball was from the west. Chamberlain served the ball to Paul. After the latter held the ball, the fierce 'cp3, mvp!' sound came from the whole game. Paul waved his hand and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He changed direction and shook Wade away, quickly walked to the inside line. When he saw that the penalty area was crowded and Wade followed from behind, he passed the ball to Chamberlain.
After Chamberlain got the ball, he yelled wildly. Bosh and Howard came up to double-team him at the same time, but he passed the ball outside the three-point line.
After getting the ball, Billups calmed down his figure slightly, aimed at the ring and jumped up gently, and set off a long-range shot with his wrist trembling.
There is no one defending him, so he can definitely get such a three-pointer.
Chamberlain's proposal is very attractive to Billups. For this veteran who has been in the league for a full ten years, he knows that he is getting farther away from honor and cannot guarantee whether he can still enter the All-Star next season, so this season may be his last time to participate in the All-Star.
There are too many excellent defenders in the West. Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, Arenas, who is not a famous player? The new generation Paul, Deron and Durant, who is ready to go in Seattle, will be overcrowded in the future.
So, Billups made up his mind to let himself compete for MVP this time. No matter whether it succeeds or fails, he will have to fight once. Otherwise, how regretful he will be when he retires in the future?
Billups' defense suddenly increased. He stole Wade's pass and stubbornly chose one-stop. The East was used to Billups' selfless pass, and Chamberlain and Anthony followed him very closely. Subconsciously letting Billups go to block the two people behind. As a result, Billups chose to lay up by himself and scored two points again.
Seeing Billups scored five points in a row, Chamberlain knew that his proposal had taken effect. He smiled slightly and increased his strength at the defensive end. James hit the ring, and Chamberlain doubled from the wing and followed him tightly, and finally turned James' dunk into a block.
When Billups saw Chamberlain chasing James, he followed him in a sympathetic manner and waited behind him. When the ball fell, he happened to grab it.
After getting the ball, Billups turned around and broke out quickly. Wade's defense was very tight, and James also caught up. Billups saw Nowitzki covering at a high position and passed the ball. Nowitzki made a jump shot, Bosh interfered with it, the ball was a little soft, and it bounced out of the ring.
Chamberlain and Howard gathered together, and the two roared and jumped up at the same time. As a result, Chamberlain bounced faster and caught the ball in his hand.
Chamberlain hit Howard with the ball, obviously he wanted to do it alone, so James and Butler outside the penalty area came up and fucked Chamberlain from three sides.
At this time, Billups went in with the trend. Chamberlain savagely hit Butler and knocked him back, found space and reached out to hand the ball out. Billups took the ball and took three steps, shook his wrist and threw the ball up. James wanted to block the ball but couldn't reach the ball, so he could only watch the basketball fall into the ring helplessly.
The successful pursuit of points in the West stimulated the young heroes in the East. James once again used a rugby-like brutal impact. Anthony went up to defend and was knocked away. James rushed into the penalty area with a determined face, as if he was holding an explosive bag in his arms.
Chamberlain was not afraid of such a barbaric attack. His physical fitness was even more intense than James, and he was on the defensive side. He stared at James without retreating but instead advanced, and opened his arms to cover the little emperor's body. The two of them kept entangled at the basket.
James took action, and Chamberlain jumped up. In order to avoid being blocked, the little emperor could only raise the starting point of the attack. The ball hit the basket's neck and bounced high. Chamberlain was still rising at this time. He turned around and pressed the ball to fly the racket out, and just fell into Paul's hand.
Billups attacked very actively. When he saw the ball fall into his teammate's hands, he immediately ran down. Wade cursed in his heart and followed him, shouting, "Changxi, do you want to get MVP? Don't dream... Oh, Hit!"
Now all fools know what Bilups play. In fact, Paul also wants to get MVP. He is the host of today. However, the data is average, and it may be embarrassing to grab MVP. Therefore, seeing that Bilups, a veteran, worked so hard, he decided to fulfill the latter.
Billups and Wade ran in the front, Paul quickly ran for a while, then threw the ball out with his hand.
The showdown between the defenders began. After Billups got the ball from the middle, he did not attack directly, but instead twisted his shoulders and turned around and ran to the left wing, attacking from the left wing.
Wade's defense was absolutely effective. He followed Billups to the left wing. The two collided. Billups quickly turned around and threw Wade away, and rushed forward with great strides. If an ordinary person was thrown away by Billups, it would be over. However, Wade was very physically fertile and deserved his name as the Flash, he actually chased him sideways.
Just as Billups stepped into the penalty area, Wade quickly chased and defended and formed a close-fitting press at the basket. However, Billups' movements were not finished yet. Seeing Wade catching up, he twisted his knees and pulled back, and then turned around again after a sudden stop. Then he started to rush toward the basket. Wade stopped for a moment and just stabilized and saw Billups start again and could only speed up.
After Billups took a step, his legs spread apart and the ball in his hand jumped from the floor between his crotch and changed to his other hand. He stopped again. Now, even if Wade was stronger, he could not hold back. He was almost knocked to the ground while stopping, so he was thrown away by Billups.
Billups scored nine points again after another shot from the basket. Now it's only two minutes after the third quarter. Seeing this scene, the old stars in the East were depressed. They couldn't help but remember that in 2001, the West led to the fourth quarter. As a result, Iverson suddenly led the Eastern Conference to launch a counterattack and reversed the game. This time the role reversed, and the hero turned into Billups.
Billups' layup that shook Wade away was very exciting. It was played repeatedly on the big screen. Chamberlain rushed up and gave him a chest-matching greeting. The two of them smiled for a moment.
The problem with the Eastern Army is that there is no pure point guard. Although Wade is known as a double-athing position, he should be called an attacking guard. He needs to have the ball in his hand to have power. If he is just a dunk show, he is very competent. His volcanic explosive power, wind-like speed, and violent power, once he launches a fast attack and cooperates with James or Howard, it is absolutely wonderful.
However, the requirements of the Eastern Army now are to organize offense, organize defense, and curb the counterattack frenzy in the western region. It is not appropriate for Wade to be such a commander. He is a powerful general who charges and is not a famous coach who is good at strategizing. The latter job requires Kidd to do it, and Billups is also good, but it is definitely not suitable for Wade and James who are young and energetic now.
The young Zero Three Golden Three charges were repeatedly beaten and bleeding. Chamberlain used his indestructible defense to teach these senior brothers a lesson. He blocked Wade and the Little Emperor one at a time in both defenses.
The offense in the West is like flowing, and it is no longer restrained. Not only Billups, but Nowitzki and Anthony's shooting, and Paul's breakthroughs are all greatly enhanced. Chamberlain does two things: defense and cover Billups.
The cooperation effect of Billups and Chamberlain was shown in the All-Star field. Wade defended, Chamberlain picked and rolled, Billups quickly broke through, and faced Bosh's replacement of defense and immediately passed the ball to follow Chamberlain. Chamberlain rushed into the penalty area to attract double teams, Billups ran out of the open position, Chamberlain immediately passed the ball, Billups jumped and hit.
After another offense and defense transition, Chamberlain still helped Billups pick-and-roll. Wade insisted on chasing Billups. Chamberlain rushed straight to the basket. Billups passed the ball to the ring. Chamberlain soared into the sky, grabbed the ball and pulled it behind his head, which shocked dunk!
Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and threw it to Billups to follow the fast break. James and Wade doubled the latter. Chamberlain blocked the road and delayed the pursuit of the two. Billups took the opportunity to quickly rush into the penalty area, and one of the few players came with a one-handed buckle.
Eastern All-Star coach Doug Rivers was depressed when he saw the team's messy look. From the scene, the Eastern team seemed to be playing well, with the dunks louder and louder, and the movements were exaggerated. But looking at the score, the scarlet East is 70:85 West, the gap is really big.
