legendary point guard
Chapter 431 The second half of the season begins
"Wood's fifth three-pointer was also LeBron's eighth assist. Today LeBron became a point guard." Kenny Smith joked.
Lin Sen's three-pointer also helped the Eastern Stars narrow the point difference to ten points again.
"Bryant didn't play much today, so the scoring methods that the Western Conference can rely on are greatly reduced. However, even if Bryant can play today, he may not be able to do his best due to his relationship with Wood. Now the Western Conference can only rely on Allen to chase points.
Len and Cameron, Yao is actually a good choice." Barkley said.
Iverson, who was dribbling the ball on the court, handed the ball to Yao Ming inside. Facing Yao Ming's attack, Howard looked very embarrassed.
However, James' timely defense allowed Yao Ming to finally choose to pass the ball. After receiving the ball, Iverson shot and hit the basket. Howard immediately took off to protect the defensive rebound.
Lin Sen stepped forward to catch the ball, and the West did not press on the spot but directly retreated.
After dribbling the ball across the center line, Lin Sen passed the ball directly to James.
"Is Wood enjoying LeBron's passing? Is he addicted to enjoyment?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Lin Sen's off-ball offense left a deep impression on the West tonight. Even though Lin Sen passed the ball, Iverson still did not relax his guard on Lin Sen.
Lin Sen glanced at Iverson and then scanned everyone's positions, finally focusing on Iverson who was not far away from him.
As he got closer to Iverson, Lin Sen suddenly felt motivated.
He turned around and ran towards the top of the arc along the three-point line. Iverson, who had been prepared for Lin Sen, immediately turned around to pursue him.
LeBron James, who saw Lin Sen running, threw the ball towards Lin Sen with both hands. Anthony, who was guarding him, subconsciously stretched out his hand to interfere.
However, James just faked the pass. Anthony's subconscious hand gave James a chance.
James took advantage of the situation and swatted the ball. He cut directly through it.
Lin Sen, who was running, also stopped suddenly. However, Lin Sen didn't have any chance for Iverson to breathe. He started again and turned around and rushed into the three-point line.
James, who cut in with the ball, sent the ball with his left hand and flew directly to Lin Sen, who cut in.
Lin Sen's catch directly attracted Carmelo Anthony, who was chasing James, to cover up. Facing Anthony who was covering up, Lin Sen made a fake shot, then pushed the ball directly, and the ball hit Anthony's crotch.
Down.
"Wood passed the ball again. This time he passed through Cameron's wicket!" Barkley shouted.
The ball passed through Anthony's crotch and returned to James' hands.
After receiving the ball, James threw a ball directly over Tim Duncan who was trying to defend him and flew to the backboard.
Boom!
Whoosh!
The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.
"Haha, this time it was Wood passing the ball to LeBron, the difference was 12 points." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
"Kenny, I actually have an idea, an idea that is enough to make all other teams collapse." Charles Barkley turned around and said.
"What do you think?" Lin Sen and James high-fived each other on the court.
"Don't LeBron and Wood have conflicts?"
"Yeah, they actually behaved like good friends. It's incredible. What happened to prompt the change in their relationship."
"This is a news point worth pursuing. It's very valuable. Look at the tacit understanding between LeBron and Wood, it's like they have been working together for many years."
…
Fans and reporters were all surprised by the cooperation between Lin Sen and James tonight.
"Kenny, can you imagine what it would be like if LeBron and Wood were on the same team?" Barkley said.
Kenny Smith's eyes widened: "LeBron and Wood are on the same team?"
"Yes!"
"Do you still want other teams to survive?"
"I just thought about it, and the possibility is really small. Wood is a leader, and LeBron is such a player, o, beautiful Allen's breakthrough throw!"
Iverson scored on the field to temporarily slow down the Western team's decline, but this was only temporary.
The cooperation between Lin Sen and James became more and more skillful. In the third quarter, the two played together for 7 minutes. From the time Lin Sen hit the first three-pointer of the second half to the time when the two separated, it only took three minutes.
But these three minutes completely became a nightmare for the Western Conference Stars. The two teamed up to score 13 points in the Eastern Conference.
And the 13 points mainly revolved around the two of them, which made many people couldn't help but imagine what Barkley said if James and Linsen were on the same team.
At the end of the third quarter, the Eastern Stars had already narrowed the point difference to 19 points. If the Western Stars wanted to reverse the situation, they had to launch a fierce counterattack at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
"Wood and LeBron came on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Are they trying to make the West admit defeat as soon as possible? Wood has already scored 37 points, only 5 points away from Wilt's 42 points, and Wood is also chasing
Tied Mark Price's record of six three-pointers, there is still enough time for Wood to set a new record." Barkley said while looking at the court.
At this moment, the Western team's back line is Steve Nash and Brandon Roy. Lin Sen is dribbling the ball and looking at Brandon Roy who is coming up.
"It was Brandon who was responsible for guarding Wood. This was a duel between the two best guys in the 2006 class. He and Wood used their performance to slap those front office staff with poor vision in the face. It hurt, and it still hurts.
"
"Even if it hurts, we can only endure it, and we still have to say that we made the right choice." Kenny Smith added with a smile.
"Michael will be angry with you if he finds out." There was no trace of reproach in Buckley's look. He was clearly giving up on Kenny Smith's words.
Brandon Roy looked at Lin Sen dribbling up, and instead of staying where he was, he went straight to meet him.
As Lin Sen approached little by little, Brandon Roy backed away little by little.
However, he did not retreat too far and always maintained an effective controllable distance from Lin Sen.
Just stepping on the three-point line, Brandon Roy knew that he could no longer retreat and chose to force Lin Sen.
Brandon Roy hit Lin Sen's body with his own body twice in an attempt to interfere with Lin Sen's dribbling.
Under the impact, Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm appeared a little unnatural. Roy saw that Lin Sen's dribbling rhythm was wrong. He bumped into Lin Sen again with his body.
But this time Lin Sen was prepared and directly pulled the ball back.
Just when Brandon Roy was about to seize space and continue to progress, Lin Sen's left foot suddenly stabbed Roy's right side.
Roy also didn't expect that Lin Sen could change from passive to active so quickly. He moved quickly and continued to bump into Lin Sen with his body.
However, Lin Sen did not dodge this time. He leaned directly on Roy and continued to forcefully take a step to Roy's right side.
Lin Sen's dribbling center of gravity is very low, which allows Lin Sen to better control the ball under physical contact.
Roy followed Lin Sen and retreated to the three-point line, but he still didn't relax at all and still stayed close to Lin Sen.
Lin Sen attacked Roy's right side twice in a row. Everyone felt that Lin Sen was preparing to fight all the way to the end, and at this time, there were only five seconds left before the Eastern Conference's 24-second attack time.
Snapped!
Lin Sen's right hand slapped hard on the surface of the ball, and the ball immediately hit the ground at high speed.
The ball changed direction in the small space between the two, and Lin Sen's left foot suddenly reached towards the left side of Roy's body.
Roy once again moved his feet tenaciously, but Lin Sen did not give Roy another chance and took a big step back and retreated from the three-point line.
"Wood steps back and takes off!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly.
Lin Sen jumped high from outside the three-point line, while Roy, who forcibly stabilized his center of gravity, wanted to defend but was still a beat too slow.
Lin Sen looked at the basket in the distance and threw the ball directly. The ball drew an arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket.
"With his seventh three-pointer, Wood rewrote the record for three-point goals in the All-Star Game. He also scored 40 points. He was only two points away from Wilt's 42 points. This record is destined to be written as expected.
Wood's name." Barkley shouted excitedly.
The game continued. The Western Stars guarded Lin Sen extremely closely.
"What I hope to see is Wood taking a shot instead of passing the ball, even if his pass is very beautiful." Barkley said a little depressed. In the past four minutes, Lin Sen only took one shot, despite the crazy and tight defense of Lin Sen from the Western Conference.
reasons, but not to the point where Lin Sen couldn't take action.
"There are many people who have the same idea as you. There are still 6 minutes left in the game. The West is still 21 points behind. It is not easy to catch up from the East. If the East scores again, then the suspense of this game will be
It's over." Kenny Smith added.
At this time, Wade on the court passed the ball to James, and James immediately made a shooting motion after receiving the ball.
Anthony, who was responsible for defending James, immediately pounced on James. At this moment, James rushed in directly with the ball.
Without the ball, Lin Sen used the screen to directly land in the bottom corner of the weak side. James saw this momentary opportunity and jumped up to throw the ball over. However, Lin Sen did not let James' pass become useless.
.
"It's the direct cooperation between LeBron and Wood again. Wood shoots a three-pointer directly. If the ball goes in, Wood will create new history!" Barkley shouted, staring closely at the ball flying towards the basket.
"The eighth three-pointer, the 43rd minute, Wood, Wood left Wilt's 42 points behind. He once again set a new record, incredible Wood, incredible Wood!" Kenny Smith sighed, at the scene
The big screen immediately showed the picture of Lin Sen setting a new record.
The 24-point difference also made the Western Stars choose to give up. Stan Van Gundy also made substitution adjustments. Lin Sen, who scored 43 points in the game, was substituted under the wild cheers of the fans.
"Both sides gave up the game. The Eastern Conference victory in this game is almost certain. In this way, Wood will undoubtedly win the All-Star MVP with a high score of 43 points. I really can't believe that Wood can't win this award.
If that were the case, David Stern would be sprayed to death."
"Charles Wood's statistics are very good, setting a record of 43 points and 8 three-pointers in the history of the All-Star Game, but LeBron's statistics are also very comprehensive, 21 points, 14 assists and 9 rebounds. The only regret is that LeBron is off the game.
If he rests, he will definitely get a triple-double. If I had to choose, I think Wood and LeBron would be a good choice to win this award together." Kenny Smith expressed his opinion.
However, in the end, James failed to share this award with Lin Sen. Lin Sen, who scored 43 points in the game, won the All-Star MVP trophy in his second All-Star Game trip in the second year of his career.
When David Stern stood on the podium and announced that Lin Sen was the MVP of this All-Star Game, there was a huge cheer.
Lin Sen also used this All-Star MVP trophy to complete the Grand Slam of Rookie Game MVP, Three-Point Contest, Skills Challenge, and Slam Dunk Contest.
Everyone knows that there will be almost no latecomers to such a Grand Slam, unless Lin Sen participates in it himself.
The New Orleans All-Star Weekend of the 2007-2008 season also officially came to an end, and Lin Sen became the most shining person in the league.
Just when Lin Sen was flying back to Orlando at night, Jason Kidd, who had long been involved in trade rumors, was traded.
Eight-time All-Star Jason Kidd is still in excellent shape despite his age. After the trade, he returned to Dallas, where he played during his rookie season.
The deal, which took almost a season to negotiate, was finally reached on the last night of the All-Star Weekend.
Only two teams were involved: the New Jersey Nets and the Dallas Mavericks, but in the end, 8 people participated in this big deal.
In order to acquire Jason Kidd, the Dallas Mavericks gave away "Pluto" Devin Harris, who had just signed a five-year, 45 million contract extension in the offseason, and added Dessa Gener Diop and Lin Sen to the Timberwolves.
Teammate Trenton Hassell during that period, plus Maurice Egger and Keith Van Horn, who basically quit the league.
In addition, the Dallas Mavericks also gave the New Jersey Nets two future draft picks and some cash.
The Nets only used Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright to get all this.
"Dallas' Last Big Gamble" -- that's the headline on Yahoo Sports.
Kidd didn't have many years left, and Harris was reaching his peak, but the Mavericks still made this deal. Everyone could see that this was a big gamble by the Dallas Mavericks, and if the gamble failed, it would be an extremely painful price.
After the Mavericks and Nets almost reached a trade agreement, another big news was that Shaquille O'Neal was sent to the Suns by the Heat for Shawn Marion.
Looking at the league's trade news, the Magic are not curious, but are seriously preparing for the games in the second half of the season. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
