The Godfather of Basketball
Chapter 59
The two teams played back and forth. At the end of the first half, the Western team led the Eastern team by 15 points 80 to 65.
Indeed, as Tang Tian said, the western team's talent alone is enough to defeat the eastern team.
During the intermission, Tang Tian received the attention of all the team members, and the focus of the topic was naturally Swift.
Especially McGrady, this guy can't wait to announce for Tang Tian immediately that his head coach is in love.
However, Tang Tian still has a lot of experience in dealing with these.
Only saying that Swift is his sister is singing a kind of brother-sister relationship.
Although the team members didn't quite believe it, they couldn't ask any more questions.
Back in the second half, the East team set off a wave of counterattacks under the leadership of Wade.
In this wave of counterattack, an unexpected scene happened.
A dunk from O'Neal's basket flew away. McGrady grabbed the rebound and pushed forward, but missed and dribbled the ball to his feet, but O'Neal turned around and grabbed it back.
O'Neal completed a powerful dunk directly after the steal.
It was nothing at all, but O'Neill gave full play to his entertainment nature, turned around and hugged McGrady, and directly kissed him on the forehead.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and O'Neill also laughed, but McGrady seemed a little embarrassed.
Tang Tian unconsciously shook his head.
In fact, he has seen this scene in his previous life. He originally thought that he would have time-traveled and would never have it again, but he did not expect it to happen.
At this moment, McGrady turned his head and glanced at the bench. After seeing Tang Tian's expression, he clenched his fist unconsciously.
If the head coach is someone else, he doesn't care anyway, after all, the NBA is just an exhibition game.
But the head coach himself shook his head. If he didn't respond, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Western troops attack, McGrady took the initiative to Bryant for the ball.
The West team does not have a serious point guard in this starting lineup, and the ball is always turned between Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant.
After Kobe called the ball, McGrady directly made a three-pointer.
"Shua!"
The basketball is firmly in the frame.
This season, because of Tang Tian's emphasis on three-point shooting and Cole's training, his three-point certainty has reached the highest point of his career.
And this is just the beginning of the performance, and the next third quarter will be completed as McGrady's solo performance.
After his back injury healed, he felt like he was the leading scorer in the Orlando era.
Here is the iconic emergency stop and a dry pull, and there is another three-point hit by a teammate's pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line.
As soon as he took the ball, he made a lightning breakthrough and performed a powerful one-handed dunk, and the next round was a super difficult 360° pull-bar layup.
In the third quarter alone, McGrady scored 16 points alone.
"Shaq, Shaq, do you regret it?" Barkley laughed and shouted in the commentary seat after seeing this scene.
This is completely a "blood case" caused by a kiss!
This wave of McGrady's personal performance directly dragged the game into garbage time, and the Eastern team fell behind by more than 30 points.
In the fourth quarter, the two sides played a long time off the bench.
In the last few minutes, Tang Tian also cooperated very well, putting the players with the most points on the court.
Kobe Bryant 27 points, McGrady 27 points, Anthony 20 points, Stoudemire 22 points, Ray Allen 12 points.
The Eastern team didn't want to lose too badly in the last few minutes, and played seriously, and the intensity of the game also increased.
In the end, the Eastern team chased the point difference to about 20 points. The Western team scored 31 points for Kobe and McGrady 29 points.
In the last round, Kobe held the ball. If he attacked, he would lock the MVP, but he finally gave the ball to McGrady in the corner.
If McGrady scores the three-pointer, the MVP will be his.
McGrady adjusted his posture and shot.
The audience's attention was all focused on him. Although it was already garbage time, the MVP was destined to become a classic scene in NBA history.
"Shua!"
McGrady's shot went firmly into the frame.
There were cheers at the scene, and McGrady's score surpassed Kobe at the last moment!
The AMVP trophy belongs to McGrady!
wrong!
While the fans were cheering, the sideline referee blew his whistle, indicating that the ball had stepped on the three-point line.
The replay was shown on the large LED screen at the scene, and the replay showed that when McGrady adjusted his posture, he stepped on more than half of his foot on purpose!
It's a two-pointer!
In other words, both Kobe and McGrady scored 31 points!
Barkley was still teasing Kobe for giving away the MVP at the end, and he was stunned after seeing this spectacle.
Kobe and McGrady also laughed together, and the two came together and hugged each other.
The fans cheered and applauded the two superstars at this time.
One sent the MVP, and the other didn't want to receive the MVP like this. The scene of you and me is definitely a classic among NBA classics.
Tang Tian didn't expect this scene to happen in the end. Seeing the sympathy between the two historical superstars, he also stood up and applauded for them.
At the end of the game, the Western team finally defeated the Eastern team 153 to 132 and won the final victory.
However, compared to the outcome, fans are more concerned about the ownership of the next All-Star Game MVP. After all, the same highest score in the end has never happened in history.
Theoretically, Kobe has a higher probability of getting it, after all, he made a move in the end.
But it's not justified not to McGrady. In addition to the same score, McGrady also sent 8 assists, 2 more than Kobe.
The fans discussed and discussed to no avail.
This problem can only be solved by the organizing committee in the end.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the on-site host finally got the envelope containing the ownership of the final MVP.
After he took it apart, his expression showed a look of surprise, and he read it out with a smile.
"2007 NBA All-Star Game, Most Valuable Player, Kobe Bryant..."
As Kobe's name was pronounced, the fans of the Lakers and Kobe on the scene began to cheer.
"With Tracy McGrady." The host read through the results.
At this moment, the fans in the entire arena cheered.
This turned out to be a shared MVP!
In the history of the NBA, there have been only three sharings before, namely Elgin Baylor and Bob Pettit in 1959, Malone and Stoke in 1993, O'Neal and Duncan in 2000, each time is very classic, Kobe and McGrady became the fourth group, which is destined to go down in history.
However, such a result is also the best result. The All-Star Game is meant to be entertaining, so everyone is happy.
The most excited are naturally the Rockets fans. McGrady scored 36 points in the Houston All-Star Game last year, but because the Eastern team defeated the Western team in the end, it is a pity that he missed the MVP. This year it is considered to be back.
When presenting the awards, McGrady first thanked the fans and management, and finally thanked the coach Tang Tian.
"Thank you coach, you saved me, you saved the Rockets, you are the best coach in my heart."
