Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The 44th All-Star Game went on as scheduled.

The three-point contest champion was accepted by Mark Price. As for the slam dunk contest champion, it was the Timberwolves' rookie, chief stretcher experience officer, and a little hooligan who was dissatisfied with Mourning. Isiah Leder was eliminated in his first appearance this season. Crazy Crotty delivers a stretcher.

Whether it is the three-point shooting contest or the slam dunk contest, these two events naturally do not receive as much attention as the All-Star Game.

In view of the confrontation between the camps of this All-Star team before the game, coupled with the public relations work of the league official, so this weekend... the eyes of the United States are turned to Minnesota, and everyone knows that there is about to be a sensational game here. Great war.

At the same time, the NBA's internationalization process has also begun.

Turning our attention to the country, NBA President David Stern originally begged his grandfather and grandma to get CCTV to broadcast it. This time, he even paid for the live broadcast by CCTV staff, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation were all covered. The first official live NBA game in China started with the 44th All-Star Game. The hosts invited were Sun Zhengping, Xu Jicheng and Su Qun, who can be regarded as three generations of old, middle and young partners.

Before the start of the main game, although all participating players will be interviewed, CCTV seniors, middle-aged and young people will naturally not be absent, and they will meet Li Shengli, the light of the country, for the first time. However, the schedule of the day was very tight, and the three of them were not able to meet Li Shengli alone. , can only wait for the post-match interview.

To be honest, this is the first time that Li Shengli has met compatriots in the American industry on the territory of the United States. When he knew that this All-Star game would be broadcast live back to China and be seen by thousands of compatriots, his mood at this moment was much better than that of logging into the NBA. The first show was exciting, but it was exciting, and some things really gave him a headache.

This game is destined to be uneventful.

With the super gangsters led by Ewing, it is still very difficult for him to produce good statistics, and there will even be many episodes in the middle, so he must keep up his spirit, because he really doesn't want to be surrounded by thousands of compatriots. Under the gaze... it's embarrassing.

…

Before long, under the spotlight, the All-Star Game debut ceremony began.

This debut ceremony was very grand. However, on top of this grandeur, the fans and TV viewers all felt something unusual. Because the game had not started yet, the warm-up after the debut... The 24 people were divided as expected. There are three camps.

The seven Ewings got together and said a few words to each other.

Including Boggs on Li Shengli's side, the five people also met on the sidelines and exchanged a few words.

Even though these people belong to the East and West and wear different jerseys, they are still in a very uncoordinated grouping. Jordan, Dameng, General, and Feizhu looked at this weirdness that has never happened in NBA history with some surprise. One scene.

What's happening here?

Is this still a showdown between the East and the West?

Twelve people arranged flowers to form two overlapping camps, which was simply a mess. If this was the case, in the future, the All-Stars might as well just vote together regardless of the east and west, and then choose two captains, and choose their own players.

…

Complaints are complaints, the game has to be played.

Eastern coach, head coach Lenny Wilkens from Atlanta Hawks, starting lineup: center Shaquille O'Neal, power forward Larry Johnson, small forward Scottie Pippen, point guard Kenny Anderson, shooting guard Michael Jordan.

Western Conference coach George Karl from Seattle SuperSonics, starting lineup: center Li Shengli, power forward Karl Malone, small forward Charles Barkley, point guard Kevin Johnson, shooting guard Clyde Drexler .

Because the All-Star Game is a performance game, the positions of the players on both sides are not so clear, so Barkley played the third position and the glider Drexler played the one position. However, these are harmless, as long as they are Starting, no one will mind the position change.

…

"Guys, this game is very important to me, play hard!" Li Shengli roared, and several people knew that this was the first official live broadcast by the Chinese media, so naturally they were willing to raise Li Shengli's hand.

"Do you need me to give you some water?" O'Neal chuckled.

"Go away, I don't have time to joke with you." Li Shengli rolled his eyes at O'Neal.

"Listen, everyone, it doesn't matter a few minutes before the opening. There is only one Larry Johnson on Ewing's side. We just keep an eye on him and play. The important thing is not to let them hit any data." Malone said coldly, Then he glanced at Mourning and Boggs and said, "If there is a substitution later, just adapt to the situation. You will be careful when the time comes!"

"no problem."

"I don't have any problem either!"

Mourning and Bogues nodded, while Li Shengli and Malone punched O'Neal away, "Okay, get out of here, Eastern Conference center, the game is about to begin."

"It's finally about to start, I can't wait." Mourning clenched his fists.

"Shit, let's agree to fight Ewing's men, but don't try to score on me. I, Shaq, won't give in." After saying that, O'Neal and Bogues returned to the house. In the Eastern lineup, the three Li Shengli brothers also returned to the Western side.

…

As the coach of the All-Stars, this job is more of a symbol of honor, and the players are all first-line stars of the All-Stars. Arranging offensive and defensive tactics seems irrelevant at this moment. The biggest task as a coach is to allocate reasonable proportions to everyone. Playing time.

Because there was no Ewing in the starting lineup in the Western Conference, Li Shengli and Malone were quite friendly to the other three teammates. Drexler was the first to respond, but Barkley and Kevin Johnson were both from the Suns. People don’t catch colds very much and keep a certain distance.

Ten people from both sides took their positions. Li Shengli and O'Neal were playing against each other for the first time in the All-Star Game. At this moment, everyone held their breath and waited for the game to start. However, Li Shengli, O'Neal, and Malone on the court looked at Larry coldly - Johnson, Larry Johnson's scalp was numb when he saw it.

Although being an All-Star starter is an honor, for Larry Johnson... being the starter this time is not a good thing.

…

Jump ball at midfield.

Li Shengli and O'Neal both gathered their energy. The moment the referee threw the ball up, they kicked off the ground and ejected like two cannonballs.

Although the timing was quite consistent, Li Shengli's amazing wingspan still had the advantage. The ball was transferred to the Western Conference team. Drexler advanced with the ball and launched the Western Conference's first round attack.

Because the All-Star Game is an exhibition game, most of the time it is a one-on-one duel between players. But in this round...Drexler unexpectedly handed the ball to Li Shengli?

You must know that the offensive ability of Glider is not comparable to that of ordinary players, but in the first round, he did not even try to attack. He directly distributed the ball to Li Shengli in the high position. It was really surprising, and it also made people feel that he was leaning from neutral to Li Shengli's side. a feeling of.

Although Li Shengli was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it when he got the ball, because O'Neal had already rushed forward.

"Li, come on, I'm waiting for you!"

"Are you so anxious to be abused by me? Well, here I come."

The two were quite excited. With no one interfering at all, this was the time for them to show off. After Li Shengli turned his back, O'Neal immediately put up his arm to support Li Shengli.

After turning his back, he would either push hard like a bulldozer, turn over and shoot, or burst from left to right. Facing O'Neal...

"Follow me, left!" After shouting lightly, Li Shengli made a fake move to the left, and O'Neal moved his center of gravity to the left.

"Right!" After turning around, Li Shengli clicked to the right again, and O'Neal braked to the right again.

"Actually, it's still the left!" This time O'Neal couldn't keep up. Li Shengli immediately made a small jump and a mid-range shot. His fake movements were smooth and coherent, which surprised Malone on the side. What happened next...

"Shit, Li, be careful behind you!" Ma Long roared angrily.

"This guy is really shady." Pippen muttered.

"Aren't you going to have fun?" Jordan frowned, feeling a little bad.

…

Because both sides were playing singles, no one interfered. Li Shengli shook O'Neal away, so there was no need to worry about anything else. His shot was of average height after a small jump.

However... Larry Johnson, who was wandering behind him, saw the right moment, flew up and hit the ball behind him, and smashed the ball from his hand. He was calculated mentally and unintentionally, and the sudden change caused him to fall out of the air. He sat down on the floor.

Wow!

The whole place was in an uproar!

No one expected that there would be a block just at the beginning.

To be honest, Larry Johnson's shot blocking is also a very dangerous move in regular games. Fortunately, Li Shengli didn't jump too high and just landed on his butt. But... this kind of stealing a chicken shot is still a bit despicable, especially It was even more ugly in the All-Star Game.

At this time, in the CCTV studio, Sun Zhengping, Xu Jicheng, and Su Qun, old, middle-aged and young, looked at each other with big eyes.

As a specially invited host to commentate on the NBA All-Star Game, this is undoubtedly the first of its kind in the Chinese sports world. The focus of almost all Chinese people is on Li Shengli, the light of the country, waiting for his performance.

However, Li Shengli was criticized at the beginning. He was humiliated today, in front of hundreds of millions of compatriots.
