NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The game was a big success.

Iverson said in a lost voice under the basket: "Damn it, our cooperation should have been in the regular season in the past year, not just in the All-Star Game."

Han Yi grinned: "How about you apply for a trade to the Celtics? Directly specify the next team!"

Iverson's eyes widened: "Is this okay?"

"Of course!" Han Yi muttered in a low voice: "This will become a routine operation in the future!"

...

Han Yi and Iverson's tacit cooperation quickly gave the Eastern All-Star team a heavy return, but it was just a return!

With 10 minutes and 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Michael Jordan came up impatiently to pick peaches!

At this time, the Eastern All-Stars led the Western All-Stars by 10 points, 95:85!

But when the time fast-forwarded to the last 2 minutes of the game, 105:110!

The leading team has become the Western All-Stars.

At the beginning, Jordan, who had rested for a while, actually played quite well when he first came on the court. Although Iverson and Han Yi, the biggest contributors in the third quarter, were squeezed on the bench again by him, with Jordan, the lead could not be expanded, but it could still be maintained steadily.

But in the last five minutes, the situation suddenly changed, because a major unspoken rule of the All-Star Game is:

The last five minutes of the All-Star Game! It's time to fight for real!

At this time, for Jordan, the situation is obviously precarious!

Increase the intensity, increase the intensity!

The Western All-Stars, who defended Jordan alone throughout the game, increased their intensity by several levels in the blink of an eye!

One-on-one, can't Jordan play casually?

Sorry, there is no one-on-one opportunity in the last five minutes, just double-team!

Either Kobe + Garnett, or Gary Payton + Duncan!

The intensity of one defense + one defense began to continue to exert pressure. At the beginning, facing such a strong opponent, Jordan was more excited and fought more fiercely, but unfortunately this bravery only lasted for one minute!

When the goal of all the Western All-Stars switched to winning, Kobe was willing to pass the ball to O'Neal, and the Eastern Conference really couldn't stand it!

Of course, Jordan was not a stubborn person. In order to win, he was willing to pay a lot, but when Jordan also started to pass the ball, he found that these bastards in the East could no longer shoot!

Time goes back to the last two minutes!

110:115!

Jordan has scored 37 points, but the consecutive most reliable mid-range shots have not hit, proving that his stamina tank is almost empty!

Although this is just an All-Star game, it is reasonable that the stamina should not be consumed so quickly, but Kobe is really pulling Jordan, the old man, to death!

Compared with Jordan, who was out of time, Kobe played vigorously, as if the game was in the last five minutes, and his warm-up seemed to have just been completed!

Kobe, who was less than 20 years old, and Garnett, who was less than 22 years old, finally showed their fangs and launched the most fierce attack on Jordan, who was 35 years old!

Throughout the game, Jordan had been suppressing Kobe to play, but in the end, Kobe's way of exchanging physical strength for physical strength paid off!

2 minutes, 5 points behind, it is definitely possible to catch up, there is more than enough time, but Jordan's state makes Phil Jackson feel a little tricky.

This kind of game makes Jordan consume too much physical strength, which is really not worth it. If Kobe, that bastard, gets injured again, delaying this year's three consecutive championships, Phil Jackson will kill!

But in this case, it's the last two minutes, and it's even more unrealistic not to let Jordan play!

It is certain that Jordan cannot play, but even if Jordan tries his best, he may not be able to defeat these Western bastards who are trying their best to "kill" Jordan.

Phil Jackson glanced at the people on the bench. Now the only one who can really help Jordan is Han Yi, who has been squatting for a quarter and a half!

"But can Han Yi really fight with Jordan?"

"I really can't understand why a kid like him doesn't worship Jordan as a god."

But Phil Jackson still said with a stiff upper lip: "Han, it's time for you to play!"

"You think of me now?" Han Yi stretched his waist: "I'm a little tired today!"

Han Yi doesn't want to do this kind of thing to help others.

Hearing this, Jackson's face turned green. He is also a famous coach in the league, but a little rookie not only has no respect for him, but even refuses to play!

The last person who dared to refuse in front of him

The one who will definitely play is Scottie Pippen!

"Unless..." Han Yi smiled: "Unless that bastard Jordan begs me."

Will Jordan beg Han Yi?

Of course it's impossible!

So Han Yi will naturally not play. If Han Yi doesn't play, Jordan will be unable to reverse the final defeat!

123:130!

Jordan didn't catch up with a single point, and lost 3 points. The Eastern All-Stars lost to the Western All-Stars!

Kobe Bryant, who started the All-Stars for the first time, won the All-Stars MVP with 30 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals!

As a result, Kobe became the youngest All-Stars MVP in NBA history!

Although Michael Jordan's 42 points set a new record for his All-Stars, it became the best background board for this All-Stars!

When Kobe Bryant took the All-Stars MVP trophy from David Stern with a smile, Michael Jordan left the court angrily. All this, this damn All-Stars championship originally belonged to him!

Phil Jackson was very happy when he saw the angry Jordan. Although this was not what he wanted, objectively speaking, Jordan was angry again, and this anger was visibly long-lasting!

Because in this game, someone dared to say no to Jordan. When Jordan won the first three consecutive championships, no one in the entire league dared to disobey Jordan!

And more importantly, after saying no to Jordan, Jordan not only failed to hit the other person in the face, but his face was pressed to the ground and stepped on hard!

Michael Jordan would definitely never forgive this!

But it was not enough, it was still far from enough!

For this year's championship, Phil Jackson will continue to add fuel to the fire!

When answering the reporter's question, a reporter asked:

"Phil, why didn't you bring Han Yi back at the critical moment of the game? Today, Han Yi scored 27 points with a hit rate of 75%. If Han Yi was there in the last five minutes, the result would probably be very different!"

"Yes!" Phil Jackson smiled: "If Han Yi was willing to play in the last five minutes, I think the result would be very different."

"Then why didn't Han Yi play?"

"You should ask him this question!" Phil Jackson replied:

"I also want to know why he refused to play at the last moment."

PS: Depressed, supported the Nuggets, the Nuggets were eliminated, supported the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves were eliminated, please ask, who should I support in the finals? ?
