NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 217 Black Mamba spits out a letter

Chen Xiao, who was standing at the free throw line, also faced his own challenge at this moment. Harden used Griffin's pick-and-roll to come quickly. After a small crossover at the free throw line, Harden took a big step forward.

Circle left, circle right, Harden performs his signature European step, Chen Xiao retreats and turns around, giving Harden a chance to get out of the way.

As he got closer to the basket, Harden, who was about to appear in front of the Houston folks, restrained his joy. The revolution had not yet succeeded. Harden raised the ball with his right hand and was about to make an underhand layup.

But the whistling of the wind and the approaching big hands in his peripheral vision made Harden's heart seem to be suddenly tightened. The basketball that was already half out of his hands could not be controlled satisfactorily, so he could only apply more force to make the basketball fly faster.

The basketball flew past Chen Xiao's left hand and still hit the white edge square of the backboard above the basket. However, the sudden force at the end caused the basketball to hit the white edge square with enough force and bounced to the other side, even with the basket. None of them were encountered.

There was no block, but the frame was protected successfully. Chen Xiao dropped down, leaned forward, and was about to grab the basketball that bounced toward the baseline on the other side, marking a perfect end to the frame protection.

But someone was faster. A black braised egg that shone under the dazzling lights of the Toyota Center Arena was already in front of Chen Xiao. Kobe Bryant, the red No. 24, had already cleverly grabbed the rebound.

There was no time to think about how Kobe suddenly came around. The problem before him now is that Kobe, who got the rebound, was dribbling the ball away.

Who is closest?Chen Xiao glanced at James, who was following him. The straight line distance between the two was about the same as Kobe's, but James's stopping action had obvious meaning.

His thoughts were spinning, but in reality there was only a moment. Seeing that James was "indifferent", Chen Xiao had no choice but to move forward.

Chen Xiao and Kobe once again faced off at the three-point line.

"Chen! Get rid of him, get rid of this Mamba!" Garnett, who happened to be sitting closest to the Eastern Conference bench, cheered, "He's too old, guard him."

Facing Kobe, Chen Xiao did not dare to be careless. He blocked out the harsh "encouragement", leaned down and lowered his center of gravity, stood with his feet parallel, and stared at Kobe's center of gravity.

"Shut up." Kobe turned the ball sideways, tilted his head and sprayed an atmosphere group.

Suddenly he leaned forward, dribbling the ball in his right hand pocket, then switching the ball to his left hand and pulling slightly toward the baseline.

Chen Xiao, who was on the outside and was very afraid of Kobe's breakthroughs and shooting, couldn't help but move a step along with Kobe's dribbling rhythm.

The body posture was ready to go, leaning forward, Kobe made a hesitant step with his left hand, as if he was about to go to the baseline in the next second, Chen Xiao tried to get in position to intercept, and moved his body inward.

The basketball that bounced off the floor reached the highest point under Kobe's left hand. In an instant, with a huge crossover, the basketball and Kobe had passed by the left side of Chen Xiao's body.

After being passed, Chen Xiao didn't have time to regret it. He retreated with his front foot and quickly turned around to catch up with Kobe who was about to start in the paint area.

The moment Kobe jumped up for a layup, Chen Xiao, who was hurrying slowly, returned to the collision line. His feet rubbed fiercely with the floor, he stopped and pushed the floor hard, breaking away from the inertia, and swatted the basketball he just shot with his left hand.

"Bang" mid-air, Chen Xiao's left hand made close contact with the basketball, but the slightly dull sound of nailing the board might not be a good sign.

But no matter what, he controlled the ball first. When his feet were in contact with the floor, Chen Xiao moved the ball with his left hand and closed his right hand to control the basketball at the moment it landed.

"Beep" a whistle came from behind Chen Xiao's head. The white bald referee who was looking directly at him looked hesitant but made no move. Chen Xiao turned around and faced Kobe, who seemed to be planning to steal the ball but stopped at the whistle but failed to stop his inertia. A bump in the chest.

I saw the whistler, the referee Wood who had just issued a jump ball.

To interfere with the ball, Wood, whose sight was right, acted firmly and insisted that it was an offensive interference ball. Kobe shot for a layup. The basketball had already touched the backboard before it was "blocked" by Chen Xiao.

"Kobe! The goal is valid. It is the 11th point of the game. Kobe, who has never had any desire to attack before, fights for offensive rebounds in this round. He plays small and big. His dribbling breakthrough is simple, powerful and graceful. As long as he wants to exert his strength, he will always be The most important part of the field cannot be ignored." It was confirmed that it was ball interference, and the commentators continued to praise it.

134:127, 7 points difference, the Western Conference opened the score.

Chen Xiao felt bad when he didn't hear the violent contact between the basketball and the backboard. It seemed that the interference ball had not escaped.

But there's nothing much to say. Kobe's huge move just now did give Chen Xiaohuang half a meter of space. It was Chen Xiao's life-saving effort to catch up in the end.

The game still needs to run smoothly. There is no dead ball. Chen Xiao, who is holding the ball, still has to continue to serve. Chen Xiao, who turns around and prepares to serve from the baseline, sees James standing next to Kobe Bryant's layup position.

When he was just chasing the defense, in Chen Xiao's field of vision, besides Kobe Bryant who was chasing after him, there seemed to be a player with a headband, who seemed to be James standing aside.

Continuously defending against James, he hit the ball and helped the team open up the score. Kobe became more and more enthusiastic and continued to lean over and guard James from the beginning in the backcourt.

There was no time to think too much. Chen Xiao touched the baseline with his back foot, raised his front foot, sent the ball to Walker at the far end, and ran towards the frontcourt.

Chen Xiao's broad body became a shield for James to get rid of Kobe to catch the ball. James circled around and took the basketball from Walker. Kobe also accelerated through Walker, still staying in front of James.

James and Kobe Bryant formed a confrontation outside the three-point line on the right wing. James pushed back Kobe slightly with his two crotches, made a fierce move with his small hands, and still signaled Chen Xiao to come up for a pick-and-roll.

In this game, James seems to be alley-ooping and dunking in the first quarter. The points in the first quarter are basically dunks, followed by three-pointers in a row. The shooting rate is also very impressive. However, in the current nearly 20 points, strong breakthroughs and strong plays do not account for a large proportion. Much more, not to mention facing Kobe who is going all out. Currently he has failed to score a single goal.

OK, the pass James just made is still acceptable. Chen Xiao squeezed his left hand and got rid of Griffin at the elbow area, setting up a pick-and-roll for Kobe who was chasing James.

The waist and hip collided with Kobe's upper body. Obviously, the quality of the pick and roll was good. The task was completed. Chen Xiao moved down the side.

The scenes are strikingly similar. James, who has basically passed Kobe with the help of pick-and-rolls, is about to hit the wall of White Monster. It is also a pattern of a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. If he hesitates for a second, he will turn into a meat sandwich.

Chen Xiaojian drove straight into an open situation again, and the scene of smashing the ball into the basket was about to be rehearsed. "LeBron, ball!" was about to say, and his hands were already preparing to make a catching gesture.But I saw James jumping up with the ball in his hand. In Chen Xiao's slanted view, blue was covered with red, and a "big" hand was already covering the basketball.

"Oh!!!!" The basketball fell down, the commentator exclaimed, and the whole audience was excited.

Chen Xiao, who took two steps to the basket to stop his inertia, stood together with Griffin, who was chasing after him. At the far end of his vision was Durant, who caught the dropped basketball. He crossed half court, grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed it into the basket.

But at this moment, not many people paid attention to Durant, who scored another 2 points. Instead, they all focused on the midline position, and the two Kejans walked towards the basket one after the other.

The first explosive point of the game came when Kobe gave James a big hat.

The scene was abuzz, and news was flashing on the Internet.

"Kobe is awesome!! James can't beat Kobe at all. His previous layup didn't touch the basket, and now it's a big block! Kobe is awesome!!"

"Your uncle will always be your uncle. Kobe Bryant, who defends seriously, is still the best perimeter defender in the league. There is no other way for James to break through except to call the pick-and-roll, right? It's useless, coming from behind, a big block, Wuhu~~~"

"What is Wuhu? I'm still in Bengbu."

"The two have faced each other several times this quarter. James was blocked and couldn't hit the ball. He just passed the ball. But Chen Xiao's lob was okay, so that's okay."

"Wait, is this a carnival? James didn't score on Kobe, but Kobe didn't score on James either. Except for this block, in terms of matchup scores, the two are actually the same, evenly matched. Five open.”

"What nonsense are you talking about upstairs? Kobe has caught James running around in the past few minutes. Where is James? Chen Xiao interfered with the ball just now. Chen Xiao can't be Kobe's defender, right? James is a man."

"Ahem, Chen Xiao went to the outside to guard Kobe. It was understandable. After all, Kobe was right in front of him. James might have thought that Chen Xiao was closer, but James retreated directly to the edge of the basket. I took a look and saw which side was there at that time. There seemed to be no one in the bottom corner and they didn’t understand this defensive positioning choice.”

"In addition, in the end, when Kobe made a layup, James could have completely covered up the defense. Not to mention that the shot was delayed, but Chen Xiao came back to block the shot at least much more calmly. As a result, in the end, it seemed that there was no defender like James who was very close to the basket."

"Well, let me ask, I just got the ball, Kobe finished blocking the shot, and Durant picked up the ball for a fast break, does it count as Kobe's assist?"

……

That's really bad. This is called a timeout, giving everyone time to get back to their seats, right?

Chen Xiao felt disdainful for his teammate Zhan Zi. The old man opposite him, Bobo, was too bad and despicable~~
Chen Xiao, who was sitting on the bench, could already imagine the overwhelming rhythm of public opinion and the famous scenes that were constantly being replayed in just 2 minutes. Looking at Zhan Zi, who had a dark face and chest rising and falling, Chen Xiao took the drink from the staff. ,Drink a sip.

"In less than 150 seconds, use your energy, Chen, LeBron, Dwyane, Cameron, and Paul. You represent the East, not the Bobcats, Heat, Knicks, and Pacers... "At the last moment, Dunlap, who had been sitting on the sidelines for a long time, also stood up and stretched his muscles. Old people can't sit for a long time, so he was encouraged.

As for the Paul mentioned in his words, he was naturally Paul George. At the last moment, Dunlap had to replace Walker, who was the temporary starter but was actually a substitute. Walker was completely beaten by Paul, and he did have enough playing time in this game. Replacing George will increase the intensity of defense and give the opponent upper-level confrontation.

After the timeout, before going on the court, Durant, who received Kobe's "block pass" to complete the game, was finally remembered and mentioned. Unexpectedly, Du Zi really has something.

"30 points, Kevin Durant, from Los Angeles, Orlando to Houston, this is the third consecutive time KD has scored 30 points in the All-Star Game. In the first 4 All-Star games in his career, Durant is currently 115 The points are already the most in history, and the dunk helped the Western team lead by 9 points. Durant has a good chance of winning the AMVP again after Orlando." Ernie Broadcast reported.

What you need to know is that before Durant won the All-Star MVP for the first time last year, from 06 to 11, there were 6 All-Stars in 6 years. Kobe James won 5 of them, and the only one that slipped through the net was won by Wade. Down.

The fans who had calmed down from the excitement thought, oh, KD performed well, 30 points was the highest in the game, right?Well, let's continue watching James and Kobe play against each other. Well, James passed the ball.

James, who brought the ball to the frontcourt, did not call for a pick-and-roll this time. Instead, he turned the ball sideways. Wade came out of the top of the key to catch the ball while stepping on the LOGO pattern.

Wade slowly dribbled the ball. Although he had not yet called for a pick-and-roll, Chen Xiao at the elbow had already automatically moved up. After the pick-and-roll, Griffin just chose to step forward and delay, which has always worked.

Chen Xiao shook off the defender, half-turned and strode towards the basket.

Although Chen Xiao didn't say much, Wadeford, who had seen Chen Xiao and James running pick-and-rolls in the past few minutes, was impressed. He adjusted his dribble with his hips and quickly pushed the ball to the basket with both hands.

"Good pass" Chen Xiao praised Wade in his heart. The basketball ball flew at a moderate speed and at an appropriate height to the upper right corner of the basket. No need to deliberately adjust. Chen Xiao jumped up from the start, opened his right hand, wrapped the basketball in the air, and kept the basketball uniform. Then Chen Xiao pressed down with his palm.

"Bang" Griffin, who couldn't catch up, could only look up at his own basket, which was blown up again by Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, what a great shot! Another dunk, 19 points, just 1 point away from 20 points." Zhang Weiping couldn't help but cheered.

Not forgetting the man who dug the well, Director Zhang also commented on Wade's second pass: "Wade passed the ball really well. This ball can be called Chen Wei's line. Passing so many good balls to James, Chen Xiao will also When I enjoy it, I jump easily, eh, I press my right hand and it’s all done.”

When Durant was serving, host Ernie also repeated the unique rules for the MVP selection of this game, "Edit your favorite MVP of this game, text his last name to 38657, or vote on the NBA official website."

This year's NBA All-Star rules take "fans to decide" to the extreme. Fans vote for the slam dunk contest winner, and the same is true for the All-Star game. At least it was announced before the game that the MVP will be determined by fans' votes. As for the specific voting situation, then No one knows.

Although he didn't take many shots in this section, he continuously hit the ball into the basket with one hand. The extraordinary Chen Xiao also made the fans happy. No need for commentary to remind, the local fans in Charlotte started to edit the text messages. As for Chen Xiao's name , which is the surname, which is the first name, because of Dayao and his understanding since this season, "Chen" was sent to the NBA official number like a flood, and the mouse clicks were also constant.

As for domestic fans, it’s a bit tricky. This is not a CCTV text message to win sneakers. We know the number, but we can’t send it out. As for the NBA official website, the domestic website is online, but from time to time it gets 404, and I can’t log in. Without going in, it would be really difficult to vote.

However, there are always more solutions than difficulties. The active fans in the forum quickly came up with various "tools" to cast their votes, and the vote leader was crowned.
