I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 163 Shooting Destiny!

Jordan's midfield farewell ceremony was very successful and very touching.

When the lights gradually dimmed, Jordan's figure slowly disappeared in the center of the court.

This is a perfect ending.

If Michael Jordan can win this game, he will be an All-Star in the last game of his career.

When the lights on the scene went from dim to bright again, the second half of the game was about to begin.

Jordan did not start the second half of the game.

After all, Jordan was a little emotional during the thirty minutes of midfield.

There are still tears in his eyes now.

This kind of mentality is obviously not suitable for playing games.

Therefore, the starting players for the Eastern Conference in the second half are Yao Ming, O'Neal Jr., Iverson, Chen Xiao and Tracy McGrady.

This starting lineup is definitely the strongest lineup in the Eastern Conference.

The score on the court is now 73 to 74, and the Eastern Conference is temporarily one point behind.

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao was 7 points ahead when he came off the court, but now he is 1 point behind. This eight-point change is of course because the Eastern Conference must support Jordan with 10 points in the first half, allowing him to score 10 points in the first half. When he bids farewell, he can be the player with the most points in the All-Star Game.

Now, the East has done it!

Being able to score 10 points in the first half while trailing by one point, the All-Star Eastern Team completed its mission in the first half.

And now!

The mission of the Eastern All-Star Team in the second half is to win this game for Jordan!

Because only by winning this game can Jordan win the fourth All-Star MVP trophy in his career.

This makes him the player with the most All-Star MVP awards in NBA history, and the second player to win the All-Star MVP four times!

Jordan's three previous All-Star MVP awards were tied with Oscar Robertson and fewer than Hawks legend Bob Petty's four.

If Jordan wants to win the MVP, he must win. Victory is necessary, and secondly, data.

At least, Jordan must have 20 points, right?

Take Jordan's 10 points on 15 shots in the first half.

Boss Kobiko was so disrespectful in this game that he had to give priority to Jordan even if he didn't attack.

How many shots does Jordan need to score another 10 points in the second half?

Originally the strength was not as good as the West.

Just win.

He also needs to lead Qiao Shen to win games and feed Qiao Shen's statistics to the fullest.

To be fair, this is a hell of a level of difficulty.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao, Tracy McGrady, and Iverson came on the court, they all saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

"While Jordan is sitting off the court, we need to build up our lead again!"

All three of them saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Compared with the Eastern Conference, which is racking its brains to think about how to win with Jordan, the All-Stars in the Western Conference are less relaxed.

The starting lineup of the Western All-Star team in the second half also changed, O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Marion and Kobe.

Marion, who got 2 minutes of game time in the first half, actually started the game in the second half.

Obviously, this is to control the field.

In the first half, Chen Xiao played 9 minutes in the first quarter and 3 minutes in the second quarter. He played a total of 12 minutes, but he scored 7 of 9 and 6 of 8 three-pointers to score 23 points.

Obviously, with Chen Xiao's touch in this game, neither Nash nor Francis can guard Chen Xiao, and will be beaten to death by the pick-and-roll of Chen Xiao and McGrady.

For the Western Conference All-Star team who wanted to kill Jordan in this game, the pick-and-roll power of Chen Xiao and McGrady was too powerful, which was not conducive to their field control.

It would be better for Marion to go up there.

Looking at the players on the western court, to be honest, the faces of Chen Xiao and Iverson McGrady, who were already dignified, became even more dignified.

It was originally difficult in hell, but now, it is going to become difficult in purgatory again.

At the beginning of the second half, Iverson dribbled the ball past halftime. Facing Kobe's defense, he used Yao Ming's screen to block Kobe and then faced Garnett's assisting defense. After passing the ball, he threw the basketball in his hand to Yao Ming behind him.

Facing Kobe's defense, Yao Ming made a long-range two-pointer!

"Yao Ming scored. Yao Ming used his mid-range shot to score the first score of the game and his first score in the All-Star Game!"

After Yao Ming hit a mid-range jumper, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Song on the sidelines were very excited.

And Yao Ming himself was quite excited on the field.

To be honest, he ran back and forth with this group of big shots for the entire first half, and he didn't take a single phone call.

When Jordan was there, everyone was feeding Jordan.

Without Jordan, Chen Xiao and Tracy McGrady were fighting fiercely.

Chen Xiao and Mai Di were gone, and Iverson was on the rise again.

Who is Yao Ming?

Just based on your starter?

Yao Ming, who didn't get any shots in the first half, originally thought that his first All-Star career would start with 0 points.

If there is no pass from his teammates, it is reasonable, facing the strikers of O'Neal, Duncan and Garnett, he can't grab a second rebound by himself to break the wasteland.

Unexpectedly, on the first attack in the second half, Iverson took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll with him, and then passed him the ball.

"Dayao, it feels good!"

"It was Allen who passed it on, haha."

After Yao Ming shyly high-fived Chen Xiao, he proactively high-fived the aloof Iverson to thank him.

I have to say that Dayao really knows how to behave.

Wang Zhizhi and Bage were really envious in front of the TV.

Among the three major centers, Yao Ming was the first to be selected for the All-Star Game and the first to score in the All-Star Game.

For Chinese players, especially older generation players like them, only they know what the All-Stars mean and what All-Star scoring means.

"The gap with Dayao is getting farther and farther."

Bago and the King thought of this almost at the same time.

Of course, Yao Ming broke his record in the All-Star Game, and the Chinese audience in front of the TV was of course very happy.

Chen Xiao has already scored 23 points, and Yao Ming still hasn't scored 1 point. This is too shameful.

Everyone is worried about Yao Ming.

75 to 74!

The Eastern All-Star team, which was originally one point behind, relied on Yao Ming's mid-range shot to overtake the score.

Jordan off the court was also applauding Yao Ming and the hard-working Eastern Conference All-Stars on the court.

Looking back, O'Neal picked it up inside. Facing Yao Ming's single defense and McGrady's assist defense, O'Neal hit the ball to Garnett's hands. Garnett faced McGrady's counterattack and hit the ball. Kobe's hand.

After Kobe received a pass from Garnett at the free throw line, he turned his back to shake Chen Xiao's defense for two consecutive three-threats without shaking Chen Xiao away. Under the interference of Chen Xiao's sideways defense, the left A mid-range shot from the corner.

The Eastern Conference continued to attack. This time, Iverson did not continue to look for Yao Ming for pick-and-rolls, but O'Neal.

After Iverson picked and rolled with O'Neal, O'Neal faced Kobe's defense and hit a jumper!

77 to 74!

Soon, Kobe, who was shot twice by Yao Ming and O'Neal, fought back in front of Chen Xiao.

Kobe slowly dribbled the ball across half court, dribbling between his hips at the top of the key, and then pulled up directly in front of Chen Xiao. Facing Chen Xiao's defense, he leaned back and threw the basketball in his hand. !

The difficulty of this ball can be described as explosive!

So much so that the Atlanta fans on the sidelines exclaimed when they saw the extent of Kobe's receding on the court.

It can be seen that Boss Ke was really irritated by Iverson's deliberate "tackling" behavior.

Iverson, who was so excited in the first half, kept playing pick-and-roll after Kobe played point guard against him. What is this?

No one would believe it if Yao Ming and O'Neal hadn't been intentionally asked to shoot Kobe!

What a smart guy Ke Ke is. It’s clear that this is Iverson doing a surprise for Mr. Joe, who was so troubled by Ke Bo in the first half.

You bully the big with your little one.

Now I will give you a trick to bully the small.

I have to say that Boss Ai and Boss Qiao are truly in love.

But, Boss Ke, Boss Ai has offended you, go and pull Boss Ai, what are you doing to pull me out!

But.

Chen Xiao was still very happy to be pulled out by the boss.

He leaned back to appreciate the picturesque beauty of his idol up close again!

And this time I didn’t hit the iron, and I still hit the target!

What a pleasure!

After seeing Chen Xiao being pulled out by him, he looked intoxicated.

Kobe felt that this kid was more than immune to three threats.

He is also immune to shots like his that crazily lower the opponent's morale.

77 to 77!

With Kobe's three-pointer, the East and West once again returned to the same starting line.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Ming and Iverson used a pick-and-roll and once again hit a mid-range shot. Soon, Garnett returned the favor.

O'Neal Jr. made a mid-range shot.

Duncan responded with a jumper and scored.

Yao Ming hit the jump shot.

McGrady picked up the long rebound and hit the ball into Yao Ming's hands, and Yao Ming made another mid-range shot.

Hit!

On the other side, Duncan caused a foul by O'Neal under the basket.

2 free throws made.

83 to 83!

After the start of the second half, the staggered scores of the Eastern and Western All-Stars overwhelmed many spectators on the sidelines.

"In the second half of this game, the two teams played very seriously!"

As ordinary spectators of this game, James, Anthony and Paul were all surprised by the extremely tactical discipline of the two teams on the court.

In the second half, except for Kobe's forced pull-up three-pointer to vent his anger, almost all the points scored by the two teams were tactical.

"The All-Stars in the second half were not All-Stars at all!"

"But it's wonderful, isn't it?"

After Paul finished speaking, James and Anthony all nodded heavily.

It's really wonderful.

However, in such an exciting game, Chen Xiao never got a chance to take action.

The Western Conference All-Star is too tall.

The defense is also too good.

Chen Xiao was entangled by Marion and couldn't move at all.

To be fair, facing Marion's defense and the help of Duncan and Garnett, do you want to get an offensive opportunity?

Just kidding!

You can only force it!

After the start of the second half, neither Iverson nor Tracy McGrady or Chen Xiao made any forceful attempts.

This game puts a lot of pressure on the East.

However, in the next round after Duncan made the free throw, Chen Xiao still got a chance.

Iverson and Yao Ming picked and rolled. After Iverson returned the ball to Yao Ming, this time Yao Ming did not attack directly. Instead, he faced Kobe's defense and took a step back. Chen Xiao used Yao Ming's screen to escape. After Marion, Yao Ming hit the ball to Chen Xiao outside the three-point line. When Kobe saw Yao Ming dribbling, he was already alert.

But when he was asked to throw himself out with all his strength...

The hands are still short.

Kobe attacked from the front, and Marion attacked from the side. The attack of two extremely defensive outside players looked very powerful.

But in fact, the impact on Chen Xiao is very limited.

Chen Xiao had already taken action before the two of them rushed over.

However, although the two people's assistance in defense had no impact on Chen Xiao's shots, from the surroundings, the visual effect was quite explosive!

As if in a pinch between Kobe and Marion, Chen Xiao threw the ball.

In the exclamation of the entire audience.

A swipe!

Three point hit!

86 to 83!

Chen Xiao scored his 26th point in this game, and the Eastern Conference score was once again exceeded!

too difficult!

Facing this Western Conference All-Star, scoring is too difficult!

So much so that when Chen Xiao hit a shot, he was immediately surrounded by Kobe and Marion, beating his chest and howling like a ghost.

Of course, after performing the Wolf King Ceremony, Chen Xiao would not forget the Snake King Ceremony.

He just gave me a slap in the face.

However, what makes Chen Xiao a little regretful is that I didn't go with him.

This kid!

Looking at this kid who was clearly sticking out his tongue, Kobe wanted to slap him in the face.

Although he has accepted the Mamba mentality, but!

He absolutely cannot accept this so-called 'Snake King Ceremony'!

Especially listening to the laughter of the audience and the laughter of that fat man O'Neal on the court, Kobe couldn't accept it even more.

However, it seems that Mrs. Ke, who is on the sidelines, is smiling very happily and looks very glamorous.

Of course, compared with our department, which has not yet fully entered the Mamba spirit, adding idols has entered the state much more.

After Chen Ling beat his chest and stamped his feet, Garnett ran up to Chen Ling on purpose, and yelled at Chen Ling a few times.

The all-stars who were originally nervous, but because of Chen Xiao's sudden 'dihua', they regained the unique happiness of all-stars.

Of course, happiness is happiness.

The game didn't let up at all.

The game restarted. Facing Jermaine, Duncan failed to make a hook, but Kobe took off the offensive rebound over Iverson's head and made a tip-up!

86 to 85!

Turning around, facing Garnett's defense, McGrady made a huge change of direction, faced Garnett's long arms, stepped back and hit a mid-range shot!

88 to 85!

O'Neal hit Yao Ming with his elbow during the sudden attack between Yao Ming and O'Neal Jr., resulting in an offensive foul.

Looking back, facing Kobe's defense, Iverson retreated to the three-point line after the butterfly pierced the flower, made a jump shot, and hit!

91 to 85!

After Iverson's three-pointer, the Eastern All-Stars once again widened the point difference in this game to more than five points!

Seeing Chen Xiao, McGrady, Iverson and Yao Ming O'Neal on the court once again established the Eastern Conference's lead, this made David Stern on the sidelines feel a little relieved.

“The boys worked hard!”

Really hard work!

Even if he is not a professional basketball person, he can see it.

He could see that the players in the West were stronger.

But the Eastern side played more reasonably and focused.

To be fair, as president, he also watched the games between Iverson and Tracy McGrady.

When have you ever seen these two play as reasonably as they did in the second half of this game?

All for Michael!

Just when David Stern thought of this, Iverson scored again on the court.

O'Neal made a mid-range shot from close range, and when he turned around, Iverson received a long pass from Yao Ming to push for a fast break. Under Kobe's defense, Iverson made an emergency stop while advancing at high speed, and Kobe couldn't stop him. The car almost slipped.

After Iverson shook Kobe away, he made a mid-range jumper and hit!

Seeing such a wonderful pull-up jumper by Iverson, James, Anthony and Paul, who are fans of Iverson, all jumped with excitement.

I have to say that during this period, Iverson's ball control and skills, combined with his speed and explosion, were truly Diaw and truly picturesque!

However, Kobe is not to blame for this defense. How could Kobe be as flexible as Iverson at such a high speed?

It can only be said that this is Iverson's rhythm.

So the question is, who gave Iverson such a rhythm?

Of course it's the fat guy O'Neal who wanted to make a mid-range shot in a very naughty way just now!

O'Neal's mid-range shot just now was also really impressive.

93 to 85!

The Eastern All-Stars extended their lead to 8 points.

Next, Duncan missed a jump shot, but Yao Ming failed to grab the rebound. Kobe, who was swimming to the basket, stole the ball and made a layup.

93 to 87!

Yao Ming regretted having the ball stolen by Kobe.

My hands are still short!

but!

Why bother with short hands? !

However, Yao Ming quickly regained his mentality. On the offensive end, he provided a perfect cover for McGrady. After helping McGrady block Garnett, McGrady dribbled the ball and broke through, facing Duncan who was fighting and retreating. McGrady drove to the basket at high speed, rode on Duncan with his hands raised in the air, and succeeded in a one-handed dunk!

Not only did he score, but he also caused a foul on Duncan!

A dunk that shocked everyone!

McGrady perfectly demonstrated his technical and physical talents through this dunk!

And Duncan became the backdrop for McGrady's perfect display.

However, just like Chen Xiao was excited and happy after becoming Kobe's background just now.

After Duncan became McGrady's backdrop, there was no trace of frustration on his face. His bright eyes were always staring at the back of McGrady's head who was celebrating in front of him.

So thick!

So dense!

I really want to touch it!

Extra penalty hit!

96 to 87!

The East continues to widen the gap.

The united East leads the West by 9 points.

At this time, there were 5 minutes left before the end of the third quarter.

West requested a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Jordan reappeared.

At this time, the protagonist on the court once again became Jordan.

Everyone's eyes were once again on Jordan.

Everyone at the scene was looking forward to Jordan's All-Star performance in the last ten minutes!

Everyone at the scene was thinking, can the Eastern Conference defeat the Western Conference in this game? Can Jordan make history?

The game restarts after a pause.

When there were 4 minutes and 05 seconds left in the third quarter, Jordan got an offensive opportunity.

After Jordan deceived Kobe with a picturesque operation, he broke through for a layup.

And O'Neal used his height advantage to cover this very picturesque ball. For a moment, the whole audience burst into boos!

Facing the boos from the audience, O'Neal and Malone were high-fiving on the court!

This ball has made it very clear who the main members of the ‘God Catcher Alliance’ are in this game.

Facing the pursuit of the God Catcher Alliance, Jordan was unyielding and did not give up.

At 3 minutes and 25 seconds, Jordan assisted Wade and made a mid-range shot!

At 3 points, Jordan received a pass from Wade at 45 degrees on the right wing, dribbled the ball behind Payton in singles, and made a standard Jordan-style fadeaway jumper. He hit!

Scored the 12th point of the game.

At 2 minutes and 04 seconds, the game was suspended and the Eastern Conference led 107-100.

The game resumed with Jordan remaining on the court.

At 1 minute and 15 seconds, Jordan broke through and caused Nowitzki to foul. He made 2 free throws. Jordan scored the 14th point of the game.

At the end of the third quarter, the Eastern Stars temporarily led 116-110.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Jordan continued to stay on the court.

Obviously, Jordan will play the rest of this game.

At 11 minutes and 27 seconds, Jordan missed a fadeaway jumper from the right side.

At 8 minutes and 56 seconds, the game was suspended.

The game restarted with Jordan still on the court.

At 7 minutes and 53 seconds, Jordan grabbed a backcourt rebound and assisted Chen Xiao in a mid-range hit, helping Chen Xiao get the 30th point of the game.

At 7 minutes and 12 seconds, Jordan made a jump shot, but it was a little weak and the ball hit the front of the basket.

At 5 minutes and 41 seconds, the game restarted again after the official timeout, and Jordan continued to stay on the court.

At 5 minutes and 24 seconds, McGrady assisted, and Jordan made a steady two-pointer near the left baseline. Jordan had already scored his 16th point of the game.

At 4 minutes and 33 seconds, near the 45-degree three-point line on the left, Jordan received an assist from McGrady and scored two more points!

After O'Neal's big shot, Jordan's handwriting became very smooth, and he had scored 18 points.

At 3 minutes and 34 seconds, Jordan first grabbed a backcourt rebound in the crowd, and then took the ball to the frontcourt. Facing his opponents Kobe and Payton, who stopped left and right, Jordan's incredible ability to control the ball knocked Chen on the side. Xiao was stunned.

After Jordan shook off Kobe and Payton, his step-back jump shot was intercepted by Kobe. Jordan's quick eyesight and quick counterattack prevented Kobe from controlling the ball. He got the ball and shot again, but unfortunately the blue ball hit the rim.

At 1 minute and 59 seconds, Jordan dribbled the ball to the left and beat Karl Malone. Jordan turned around and rushed inside. With one hand, the ball drew a high arc and escaped the defense of the Western Conference players, and gently fell into the net. !

20 points!

In this game, Jordan faced his old rival Karl Malone and scored his 20th point of the game!

At 56 seconds, Jordan dribbled the ball and suddenly stopped near the free throw arc. Facing Kobe's defense, he changed his shot to a pass and assisted Chen Xiao in the mid-range!

At 16 seconds, Jordan dribbled the ball and beat Payton in isolation. He broke into the paint and faced Malone's interference. He turned around and made a fadeaway jumper. He hit the ball and got an extra penalty!

Extra penalty hit!

140 to 138!

With his 23rd point of the game, Jordan almost single-handedly defeated the Western Conference All-Stars!

So, when Jordan hit the extra free throw, the entire Philip Arena audience went crazy!

Even James, Anthony and Paul, three professional players, have fallen into madness at this time!

"23 shots, 23 points, lore!"

"This plot is incredible!"

"It was a perfect night!"

However, just over 10 seconds later, the originally crazy Philip Arena became silent!

Because Kobe almost used the exact same action as Jordan, turned around and leaned back exactly the same, faced O'Neal's defense, hit the ball, and caused O'Neal's foul!

Extra penalty, hit!

141 to 140!

There is 1 second left in the game!

Anti-kill?

When Kobe Bryant made a solid free throw with a complicated look on his face at the free throw line.

Payton, Karl Malone, and O'Neal on the court were like crazy!

But Kobe, who was about to kill Jordan, was unusually calm at this time.

"I absolutely killed Jordan!"

"This is fate!"

Kobe's eyes kept flashing.

Eastern All-Stars request a timeout!

Feeling the silence of Philip Arena at this time, as the on-site commentators of this game, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Song were stunned by this game!

Not to mention the two of them.

Even the well-informed Barkley and Kenny Smith were stunned at this time.

"This All-Star game is definitely the craziest and most exciting game I have ever seen!"

"I have never seen such a wonderful and reversal of a game during the All-Star Weekend!"

"Jordan killed Malone, and Kobe Bryant killed Jordan!"

"Incredible, such a wonderful game will become an eternal classic in NBA history!"

"Michael, will he use his farewell to become a footnote for others?!"

"Is this the arrangement of fate? Even God can't defeat fate?!"

"What kind of tactics will Thomas deploy?! Will the last ball be given to Jordan?! All eyes are focused on him."

At this time, everyone, whether it was the audience or the TV commentators, all focused on Jordan.

1 second of time!

You can only catch the ball and shoot!

The timeout ended, and the Western Conference deliberately placed Marion in front of Jordan.

At the beginning of the game, McGrady served a sideline ball from the sidelines.

At this time, when the live broadcast footage was shown to the audience, almost everyone was praying, praying that Jordan would receive God's favor tonight.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

On the court, all the Eastern Conference All-Stars are running and covering!

Jordan used the cover to get out!

And McGrady on the sidelines also passed the ball under Payton's interference!

only!

"Didn't McGrady's pass go to Jordan?!"

"Maddie's pass is for... the wonder boy?!"

When McGrady's pass passed through Jordan's pocket and the basketball flew straight to Chen Xiao at the top of the arc, everyone was shocked.

This also includes Kobe who is in front of Chen Xiao at this time!

Catch the ball!

Take off!

Turn around!

Lean back!

Take action!

Facing Kobe's block, Chen Xiao steadily threw the basketball in his hand!

The basketball is flying in the air!

But Chen Xiao, who fell from the air, smiled and spread his hands towards Jordan, who was not far away.

When Jordan, who was not far away, saw Chen Xiao's action, he made Chen Xiao's classic celebration action, "This is For You", pointing his right hand at Chen Xiao with a smile.

"The ball hasn't even been scored yet, and Wonder Boy and Jordan are already paying tribute to each other?!"

Forget about Wonder Boy!

Why is Jordan so confident? !

Seeing Chen Xiao and Jordan's actions, the whole world was shocked and quiet!

It also included Kobe next to Chen Xiao.

only!

A swipe!

When the sound of a basketball hitting the net came, everyone's heads seemed to explode.

143 to 141!

"Knockout!!!"

"Wonder Boy Shot Destiny!!!!!!"

The originally silent world exploded in an instant amidst Buckley's crazy shouts!
