Chapter 208 Light and Shadow to Black and White

"Blake~Griffin!!" the DJ shouted.

The Eastern side missed another shot slightly casually. Paul brought the ball over and provided an assist to White Monster, who completed a dunk with both hands.

At the beginning, Griffin and Paul completed two consecutive cooperations, turning the Aerospace City into their alley-oop city.

Chen Xiao sent the ball to Walker. In the first two rounds, Walker gave the ball directly to Wei and Gua, who had relatively open positions on the outside. It ended with a strike. This round got some Charlotte-style cooperation.

But first, he had to get rid of the monster that had been following him around with nothing to do. Chen Xiao lifted up and linked up with Walker tacitly. Howard briefly focused on Walker beside Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao immediately moved down.

Facing the large hinterland under the basket, Chen Xiao jumped up with his arms swinging. He held the ball in his right hand above the middle of the backboard and pressed down with one arm.

"Boom!" The basketball was smashed into the basket by Chen Xiao with one hand.

The cheers of the fans at the scene increased instantly, and they applauded Chen Xiao's high one-handed dunk after Griffin dunked with both hands.

"Hey, Man, he has blended into the atmosphere." O'Neal on the commentary desk also nodded and applauded. He captured Chen Xiao's performance factor.

Obviously, the new Great Wall of China is not like the old one in Houston. He understands what the fans want to see better.

Dayao: I understand, but I can’t do it.

"Yeah, the towering dunk will make the fans buy it." Barkley should be.

"Hey, this ball is really tall. Chen Xiao's ball is more beautiful than the two in front of Griffin." Zhang Weiping, who was in the studio of CCTV Sports Channel in China, praised.

When Chen Xiao and Walker want to have fun, the alley-oop has one characteristic: high.

After all, compared to other dunk masters, Chen Xiao's "dunk" attribute is pitiful. It's better not to try other moves in the air. Let's rely on the height of one hand to win.

After dunking, he returned to defense. No, there was no defense. On the way back to the court, Chen Xiao pointed at Walker to indicate a good pass.

It's not easy for Paul to keep holding the ball here. Durant brought the ball over and started to collect the ball in two steps from the three-point line. He took a big step outside the line and faced Wade and pulled up the three-pointer. "Whoa", Wade stretched out his hand to defend. Got three-point facial cumshot.

Then the players on the field opened their doors one after another, filling in their own data columns first, no matter how many.

Melo made a mid-range shot. Chen Xiao picked up the rebound in the backcourt and passed the ball twice. The basketball went from one basket to another, and Wade hit a layup.

Paul, who had been passing the ball, also completed the connection with Kobe, but the passer became Kobe. Paul received the ball and returned to the corner at the same time, and hit a three-pointer.

In these rounds, Kobe has been very humble. He catches the ball with his back and immediately releases the ball. He catches the ball at the top of the arc and does not shoot when there is room. Instead, he waits for someone to come up and takes a sudden step to distribute the ball.

"Hey, Kobe, the fans want to see your shooting, so hurry up and pass the ball. It's not like you who won the All-Star MVP four times." O'Neal complained.

"Perhaps last year in Orlando, after his total score surpassed McDuck, Kobe felt that he was complete on the All-Star stage?" Kenny guessed.

With millions of people watching in front of the global live broadcast signal, Kobe filled in an assist for his own data column before scoring.

But then the "accident" came.

Seeing Paul's three-pointer under the basket, the basketball fell from the basket. Chen Xiao, who subconsciously wanted to rush to the frontcourt, saw that from Walker to Anthony, one ran faster than the other. Well, let's just do our job well.

Chen Xiao took the ball to the bottom line. At this moment, James, wearing the No. 6 jersey, turned his head and opened his hands for a long pass at the front of his field of vision.

Good guy, he took the lead, one step ahead of the five players in the Western Conference who were returning to defense. This was because Paul started the fast break as soon as he finished shooting.

His temporary teammate was also a teammate. Chen Xiao responded to the call and transformed into a quarterback. With a wave of his right hand, he threw the ball to James who was inside the three-point line.

I don’t know if there was a connection between the Banana Boat brothers. After Paul finished shooting, he quickly chased James. Paul, who was small but agile enough, jumped and grabbed the ball when it flew in front of James.

The offense and defense changed in an instant. As soon as Chen Xiao took a step into the paint, he saw Paul coming in front of him again. Paul did a crotch trick and knocked the ball back behind him.

The well-informed Chen Xiao followed Paul and gave way to the road in front of the basket.

Under the intense gaze of Comey, Kobe followed up with the ball and hit the ball with his right hand for a layup, scoring the first point of this trip to Houston.

This ball was Paul's direct assist, and it was also Chen Xiao's "indirect assist", which was exchanged for a mistake.

Chen Xiao responded to James' call and tried to give an assist to James, who was already prepared. Instead, he gave an "assist" to Paul for assisting Kobe.

As the DJ on the scene played "Kobe Bryant", Chen Xiao had already passed the ball to Melo in the diagonal corner. Facing Paul and Durant who were trying to steal the ball in a flash, Melo did not panic and passed the ball. Throw to James in the middle.

This time it was Wade who came to the opponent's half early. James threw the ball to Wade, and then came the James-Wade connection that James loved to see.

Wade rushed forward and threw the ball towards the basket. James, who had already taken a long step, leaped into the air, grabbed the ball with both hands like a roc and poured it into the basket.

Chen Xiao listened to the live DJ's "Bryant" followed by "LeBron~", which was also a test of the DJ's professionalism.

"It's an exaggeration to weigh 270 pounds and still fly in the air like this, isn't it." Ernie sighed, "Not just me, I think all NBA fans wanted to see LeBron James last night. Think about it. Well, James White, LeBron James, Gerald Green and of course the new slam dunk king Rose, how amazing they will be together."

Fans who heard Ernie's emotion in front of the screen nodded in succession. Ever since James entered the league, there have been endless calls for him to participate in the dunk contest. During the All-Star Weekend held in Phoenix in 09, James once promised to participate. One year's slam dunk contest, but in Dallas the next year, James chose to break his promise.

As recently as last year, before the slam dunk contest, James said that competing with Blake Griffin would be a challenge, which made fans think that James was going to compete personally this time, but when he arrived, he was just on the sidelines.

"LeBron, listen, you should participate in the dunk contest. McDunner and Kobe are both dunk kings. You can't avoid it anymore." O'Neal said solemnly.

Barkley next to him curled his lips. If O'Pang said this, then James would not participate. What if he didn't win the championship?It's too damaging to James' reputation.

Woooo~~~
As soon as O'Pang finished speaking, the most anticipated scene for fans around the world in the All-Star Game in recent years happened.

Kobe, who received the pass at the midline position, slowly brought the ball to the three-point line, and in front of him was James, who had lowered his center of gravity and assumed a defensive posture.

The two set up a stance in the low post on the right side, with Kobe dribbling behind his back and slowly pressing back.Chen Xiao also followed Howard who ran outside the free throw line to make room for the two of them.

Chen Xiao at the free throw line, Howard at the three-point line, and everyone lined up in a circle outside the three-point line in the paint area, all eight pairs of eyes were staring at the two opponents.

Hurry, use a little more force on the volute.

Chen Xiao looked like he was hitting Kobe from behind, and he also hit Kobe in the paint, but he obviously felt that Kobe didn't intend to do it for real.

Sure enough, after collecting the ball and turning around to find Paul running to the bottom corner, Kobe scored another point.

Everyone is putting this one against one, watching the two of them facing each other, you kid is running into the open position, right?

Paul made a three-pointer and missed.

This time, James, who had no chance to make a fast break, took the board under the basket and pushed back to counterattack. Faced with Kobe's tank breakthrough in front of him, the first foul of the game appeared.

Kobe fouled James who was trying to finish with a layup, and James went to the free throw line.

"Since the beginning of this season, LeBron James has scored 33 points in 20 consecutive games, which ranks second in NBA history." When the commentator reported James' current record to the material, James missed the first free throw. .

Seeing the ball hit the front basket and bounce, Chen Xiao caught the ball and handed it to the referee. He also clapped and encouraged James, who had already extended his hand.

The second free throw was made, and at least he scored. This round was considered a small victory for James over Kobe.

Here, Chen Xiao just retreated to the inside line and saw the monster running into the low post.

Why, when Chen Xiao was confused, Howard had already turned around, stuck out his butt and raised his hand to claim his seat.

Yes, the court is basically open. In the East, Chen Xiao, James, Anthony, and Wade have all scored. As for Walker, he is too junior and is a pseudo-starter. He has not had a chance to take action yet, but he can still do it. Dribbling the ball to provide assists; in the Western World of Warcraft, Kobe and Durant also shot into the basket. Paul Griffin only assisted and dunked, but the poor Warcraft ran back and forth infinitely.

They are all Warcraft, so how come the white ones can take off infinitely?It seems that I can only ask for the ball myself.

Durant brought the ball and passed it to the closer Paul, who lobbed the ball to his "brother" in the same city.

"Do you want to be really defensive? Dwight." Chen Xiao's main goal is to provide good service and asked politely.

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, although Howard didn't respond and turned to face-to-face and started to make moves, Chen Xiao still has martial arts, and he still practiced the tradition of friendship first in the All-Star Game, giving Warcraft a good start.

Of course, the posture still needs to be adequate. At least you can't just break the defense. In that case, Howard's scoring will be the same as not scoring.

Chen Xiao was ready, and saw Howard feint on the probing step to break through to the top line. He took a step forward, and then saw Howard starting to go to the top line. Chen Xiao's right hand that was originally attached to Howard's body was released as soon as he touched it. He looked up and watched Howard jump with his right hand. hook shot.

"Bang" the basketball hit the left side of the basket and fell.

With the help of Warcraft, this was a rebound for himself. Chen Xiao turned around and easily accepted the gift from Warcraft.

"Hahahaha." The ball missed, O'Neal laughed, "Hey, Dwight, this ball is completely defending the air, where's your hook?"

Howard spent no less than [-] dollars to study the dream. How about taking another [-] dollars and come to Chen Xiao to further his studies?
But maybe Howard is rough and thin, and his hook shot is not aimed at the basket. After the ball flew to the basket, the white monster in the corner had already started to fly. Chen Xiao got the rebound and turned around to prepare for a long pass. , Griffin in Yu Guangli has already hung his hands on the basket. Maybe this is an alley-oop cooperation between the monsters, but the black monster passed the ball.

"Whoa!" Facing Anthony this time, Kobe took a sudden step and shot from the high post on the right side. He hit a beautiful jump shot, which attracted continuous cheers from the audience.

Subsequently, Durant's three-point shot missed, and the basketball fell straight down. The ball was a 55-ball for Chen and Huo who were making no movement under the basket. Chen Xiao subconsciously raised his hand to hit. Howard opened the basketball before he got the board, and James got the ball by mistake.

"Boom" this time was Zhangua connecting, raising the ball in the air with his right arm for a slam dunk. The decibel sound at the scene exceeded the extreme value in the past few days.

Durant made a comeback. When he saw Durant, who was striding like a Spider-Man, entering the penalty area, the fans who had just cheered and screamed for King James lifted them up in one breath, preparing to give thunderous shouts to the God of Thunder.

As a result, there was loud thunder and light rain, and Durant ended the game with a layup.

That's it?Chen Xiao, who was in the penalty area, turned sideways to give Durant a way out, but Adu did not steal the limelight from James.

Nearly half of the first quarter, Popovich took the lead and replaced the Black and White Monster with Duncan Parker.

With no share of the cake, no back-up shots and no rebounds, Warcraft returned to the bench in three steps.

Parker made continuous throws, and Duncan turned back and ran. The originally fast pace of the game slowed down until James made a mistake in passing the ball. Kobe intercepted the ball, used his crotch behind his back to get rid of the defender, and threw the ball to serve as a fast break arrow. Durant.

This time, facing the unguarded basket, Durant showed off his skills and dunked with both hands, filling the audience with passionate shouts again.

"Buzz~~~" The official timeout time is up.

Chen Xiao, who hadn't sweated much, returned to the bench and sat down. Irving and George on the bench were already eager to try. Obviously, they were eager to step onto the All-Star Game floor and officially become an ALL STAR, welcoming the cheers and shouts of fans around the world. Can't wait.

The timeout ended and both sides made relatively thorough adjustments.

Irving, Garnett, Bosh, Chandler, and George came on as substitutes, and Randolph, Harden, and Westbrook also came on in relays.

Randolph played from behind, Duncan shot a three-pointer, and the game suddenly went from a white monster flying to the sky and escaping to the ground, James stayed connected, and the light and shadow era of Kobe's picturesque jump shot slipped to the black and white film era.

What is this, a dunk?What about alley-oops?What about the dashing attack?
Fortunately, there is Irving here in the East. He leans over to dribble. The basketball seems to have come to life under his hands. He dribbles, pulls back, crosses, and changes direction. Regardless of whether Parker in front of him is seriously defending at this moment, he can break through people. Irving, who was cool enough, still aroused cheers from the fans in the audience.

After passing Parker, facing Duncan who lowered his center of gravity and assumed a defensive posture, Irving took a rhythmic shot of the ball, collected the ball, floated, and hit the board with his left hand.

In one go, Irving scored two consecutive goals against the Spurs. The fans in the audience were so excited that they woke up from the dazed state where they were almost falling asleep just now.

On the western side, Deng Wei, who was reunited again, also presented a dunk. Westbrook seemed to have stagnated in the air, and he exerted force in mid-air, smashing the ball from Harden into the basket with his right hand.

In the second half of the quarter, these two attacks gave Chen Xiao, who was also watching boredom on the sidelines, a little cheer.
