Chapter 218 One-stop dribbling
Durant received Kobe Bryant's "block assist" and easily dunked across half court. Chen Xiao received Wade's second-hand flyer dunk. You come and I go. After the offset, in the last 2 minutes, the Western Conference 136:129 Eastern Conference, the point difference is still there. 7 points.

It was still Paul who brought the ball to the frontcourt. This time, it was no longer Walker, who was as tall as him, but Wade who leaned over to defend him.

Chen Xiao, who was standing guard with Griffin just one step inside the three-point line, felt a lot of peace of mind when he saw Uncle Wei bend down attentively and defend with all his strength. This was a sense of security that Walker's defense had not had for several minutes before.

But at the next moment, Griffin took a step forward. Paul, who was pressing forward with his body beside Wade, who was focusing on guarding carefully, immediately transferred the pressure of single defense to Chen Xiao.

Paul, who was shooting accurately in the first half of the quarter, could not tolerate Chen Xiao's hesitation. Griffin took Wade away. The two did not have time to switch defenders. Paul pulled the ball back to the three-point line, and Chen Xiao immediately hit it.

Then, come on!
Chen Xiaoshen bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity. The two of them were almost at the same altitude line. They spread their hands and stared closely at Paul's movement of his center of gravity.

Under the crotch, under the crotch, the basketball danced flexibly in front of and behind Paul. Step by step, Paul pressed to the three-point line.

Chen Xiao took a small step back as Paul pressed forward. The next second, Chris Pao in his field of vision completed a crotch move and then touched the three-point line to collect the ball and lift it up.

Chen Xiao, who caught the signal to collect the ball and take action, immediately raised his hand and stretched forward. His big hands and long arms immediately set up a blocking pillar in front of Paul's head.

You can't force the shot to be blocked. The basketball passed in front of the arm and above the head, but the interference was definitely in place. Chen Xiao turned around and watched the basketball arc through a high arc. It was obvious that Paul deliberately increased the arc in order to prevent being blocked.

"Swish"

"Paul For Three!"

As for Chen Xiao, who turned around and watched the basketball go into the basket with Paul while walking towards the frontcourt, he could only accept the unreasonable three-pointer and silently ran towards the frontcourt while Paul clenched his fist and celebrated with his teammates.

Fans are still deeply impressed by Paul's last three-pointer when he shot Walker in the face. After that ball was hit, the score exceeded the assist, 16 points and 15 assists. So after elementary school addition and subtraction, 19 points and 15 assists, which is almost "20+15" "Assists" top data.

Kobe passed by Kobe for consecutive layups, and Paul shot a three-pointer in the face. Regardless of whether he almost missed the block or was interfered with enough, Chen Xiao felt that his defensive ability was still very lacking. "Old" Kobe, After the injury, Paul can switch positions and play himself. As for Weiss and Curry, who are gradually reaching their peak, you must know that the era of long-range shots is coming.

But let’s take care of the present first. Paul and Kobe are exceptions. From another perspective, Paul has 19 points. We can’t defend their core open space on the perimeter. We also have 19 points. The opponent can’t defend ourselves either. Chen Xiao enlightens himself. Ichiban, don’t panic.

At this time, the Eastern backcourt has also quickly served the ball. The orthodox guard Wade brought the ball to the frontcourt. As for the previous point forward James, he chose to recharge his energy and rest for a while. Kobe, wait for me and come back later. Fuck you!
It is less than 2 minutes before the end of this game, and it has already entered the decisive moment. According to Chen Xiao and the Bobcats' style of play, they must give the ball to the inside, and then wait after passing the ball from the outside.

But it is the All-Star Game after all. Even if the coach is Dunlap, Chen Xiao is the starter and the top vote-getter. He must give his teammates some sense of participation. Chen Xiao chooses to move up to Wade for the pick-and-roll.

Uncle Wei still knows how to cooperate. Wade, who is used to passing the ball to O'Neal and James, lifted the ball the moment Chen Xiao came up. Chen Xiao stopped, blocked, started, and finished in one go. Wade also lifted the ball without any hesitation. Sloppy.

It's hard to find a confidant, and it's hard to find a bosom friend. Chen Xiaoshun, who left Griffin behind, grabbed the basketball in mid-air. He had only cooperated with Wade a few times, and Chen Xiao suddenly felt like he had met a confidant. If he still had this in his hand, On the Sprite scoreboard for participating in the dunk contest yesterday, Chen Xiaohui did not hesitate to score "9", which is second only to the perfect score. As for why it was one point less, it was because Wade was in Florida next door, not in Charlotte.

After grabbing the basketball in mid-air, Chen Xiao stepped on the paint area with both feet. Two goalkeepers, one tall and one short, were already standing in front of him. Paul and Durant were trying their best to defend.

Chen Xiao, who is slightly sideways, is facing the vacated George in the corner. He is playing team basketball, and it's you, George.

Chen Xiao took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball suddenly, passing the ball. He did not engage in an unprepared battle, and did not grab the board. Chen Xiao immediately stepped forward with his right leg, pulled with his right arm, and grabbed Durant who was leaning above him. Get up.

With 3 assists and 2 rebounds, Chen Xiao has already planned a path for this offense.

Chen Xiao, who was huddled together with Durant, raised his head slightly and watched the basketball, which chose to hit the mark in one step and did not want to take any detours, go straight into the basket. The upturned net made people feel happy.

Okay, okay, George, who was eliminated first in the three-point contest with 10 points, still took advantage of the opportunity today. Let's not mention the empty corner cart in the first corner of the three-point contest yesterday.

Feeling relaxed, Chen Xiao lowered his right hand and flicked the ball. Hey, Du Shubao, go and serve.

This round is still Paul For Three. The two Pauls' consecutive three-pointers kept the score difference in a stalemate, but it was close to 100 seconds and was not very friendly to the Western Conference.

The hard-working Durant sent the ball, and Paul took control of the ball. Just after halftime, Wade, who had entered a defensive state, was already following eagerly.

It was still 2 on 2. The alley-oop duo faced Chen Wei. Chen Xiao and Wade also changed their defensive formation. Facing Paul, Wade chose to block the center breakthrough position and face the enemy sideways, focusing on defending Paul's shooting.

Chen Xiao also lowered his focus in advance, supporting Griffin with his left hand to prevent the white monster from suddenly running back and cutting inside, and at the same time being prepared to defend Paul from breaking inside.

Seeing that the two people in front of him had made a pocket for him to drill into, Paul, who had been scoring like chopping melons and vegetables recently, chose to be respectful rather than obey orders. He pulled the ball sideways under his crotch, and suddenly took a position from Wade.

Paul suddenly approached. Chen Xiao did not panic. He was concentrating on watching Paul accelerate into the three-point line and then suddenly slow down and brake, using his butt to block the pursuing Wade. The two of them bumped into each other, and Paul seemed to be rear-ended by a car from behind. The car in front of me was pushed, and suddenly it rushed out diagonally.

Gaining a positional advantage and moving freely, Paul did not choose to go straight to the basket like Kobe Bryant. After all, Chen Xiao was chasing the defense in the previous offensive round, and in this round, Chen Xiao, who was entangled with Griffin in front of the basket, was protecting the frame.

The little man has his own most effective way to finish inside. Paul collects the ball and leaps to the right of the center of the paint area, raising the ball with his right hand.

Chen Xiao, who was only an arm's length away from Paul on the collision line, did not choose to step forward to cover up the defense. Instead, he spent his energy on wrestling with Griffin. After all, even though Paul has scored so hard in the past few rounds, it cannot be ignored. The 15 assists and the proportion of recipients among the 15 assists clearly reminded Chen Xiao that there is a white monster behind him that can soar into the sky at any time. Perhaps his forward attack is more in line with Paul's idea of ​​lifting the ball.Paul threw a right-hand throw, and Wade, who was chasing him, flew past Paul.

There was no block, and the basketball still flew towards the basket, but the basketball that hit the front basket at the next moment rewarded Chen and Wei for their dedicated defense.

Chen Xiao raised his head and stared at the trajectory of the basketball, holding Griffin with his right arm. His blood surged, and his face turned slightly red under the high-intensity exercise.

My board! !The bounced basketball was right above his and Griffin's heads. The two of them were wrestling fiercely, pushing forward and back, wishing that they were hanging on to the more than 200 kilograms of flesh on their bodies. The two people on the other side were unable to break free despite the mutual force. Gravity.

But Chen Xiao, whose right hand was entangled with Griffin and unable to move, relied on his height and wingspan advantage to move the ball forward with his left hand.

Hey, the two of them were pulling each other, leaning forward and closing together. The height advantage may have been narrowed or even flattened, but the hand length advantage still came into play. I don’t know if the photographers holding the "cannon" were in a good position under the basket at the moment. Taken for comparison.

The basketball was played again. This time, Chen Xiao, who was free to move like a dragon into the sea, moved his hands to protect the backboard. After all, everyone was watching the All-Star Game. Chen Xiao slightly pressed his elbows, which was not obvious. Show, the fans don't understand, but the veteran Paul still understands. He stopped and gave up, looked back, and chose to let his eyebrows go.

Griffin jumped up to grab the ball behind him, while Paul stopped beside him. In the flash of lightning, Chen Xiao found that there was an open space in front of him. At this moment, Chen Xiao, who had forgotten his dribbling skills, was not prepared to miss this opportunity. He rushed, rushed. .

Throwing the ball forward, Chen Xiao strode to follow up. With a flick of his left shoulder, he pushed away Paul who was chasing after him. The next moment, Chen Xiao felt that his elbow that was thrown back seemed to be connected with a hard and slightly soft tissue. Intimate contact, but at this moment Chen Xiao only sees a smooth road ahead.

The Paul was destroyed midway, and Chen Xiao, who was no longer under pressure, took the ball in his hands and strode toward the basket.

Ignoring Durant in front of the basket, Chen Xiao stepped into the three-point line, picked up the basketball, and strode across.

As the last line of defense in front of the Western Conference Basketball Team, Adu saw a mountain flying towards him. At this time, we are still 7 points ahead. In the All-Star Game, why are we fighting for our lives?

Chen Xiao grabbed the ball with one hand, raised fire to the sky, and flew past Durant who was sideways.

The next second, the roar of a one-armed basket was accompanied by violent cheers from the audience, singing throughout the Toyota Center and even the entire Polk Street in downtown Houston.

"Shen~~Xiao~~~!! Slam Dunk!"

"Beautiful!! Chen Xiao made a one-stop dunk. This ball scored Chen Xiao's 21 points. The Eastern side was only 23 points behind Wade who had 2 points. In addition, after winning this defensive rebound, Chen Xiao still had 10 rebounds. The only 20+10 statistic in the game." Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

"Hey, this ball is beautiful. It starts from the home basket and drops Paul halfway. Although there is no beautiful dribbling action, he just takes big steps and rushes to the opposite basket step by step. This ball reminds me of Yao Ming That ball." Zhang Weiping praised after hitting the ball.

While the audience was focusing on Chen Xiao, who hit the ball with one arm and hit the basket, Paul, who was spitting out his braces and grinning, was secretly "healing".

Fortunately, he didn't bring his face too close. Paul pinched the bridge of his nose and secretly rejoiced. He was pushed away by Chen Xiao's shoulders and fell one step behind. Then, the "human body cold weapon" was thrown from the tip of his nose, causing Paul's nose to suffer moderate blows. The blow made my nose feel sore for a moment, and tears almost flowed down.

Okay, okay, Paul adjusted, put the braces back into his mouth, walked slowly to the bottom line, and regained his composure.

139:134, Chen Xiao raised his hand to look at the screen on his way back to defense. The score numbers came into view. The point difference had narrowed, but it was still 5 points. The time was less than 80 seconds. There was still a long way to go to win.

It's still the same recipe, the same matchup. Paul protects the ball sideways, dribbles the ball into the three-point line, turns around at the elbow to grab space, and cooperates with Griffin's tacit pick-and-roll. Chen Xiao, who is in the paint area, appears in front of him. Paul at the free throw line.

At a good opportunity, Chen Xiao, who was leaning over and stretching his arms forward, found a loophole in Paul's dribbling. He reached out with his right arm. Although he did not cut off Paul's ball, it also interrupted Paul's breakthrough. Paul staggered and lowered his ball. Protect the ball.

Chen Xiao forced Paul to stop, and continued his efforts, spreading his arms to cover Paul's possible shooting space.

However, the hands were used, and the space for Paul's shooting was sealed airtight. At this time, Paul's traditional point guard attributes were reflected. His right hand shook suddenly, and Chen Xiao subconsciously raised his left foot, but the football Chen Xiao, who had poor skills, couldn't intercept it, and the basketball had already hit the ground and bounced into the hands of Griffin under the basket.

In addition to alley-oops, there are also ground hits.

Chen Xiao turned quickly and [Frame Protector Elite] activated!The right hand locked onto the basketball that Griffin immediately shot and knocked it out of the baseline. However, the rapid whistle sounded, still announcing the successful cooperation of the "alley-oop duo".

The only thing that makes Paul fans a little regretful is that there are no assists. Currently, Chris Paul still shares the first record of assists in the past 18 years with "Glove" Payton.

Obviously, Wade, who was struggling to defend Griffin, fouled behind him and sent Griffin to the free throw line. However, Chen Xiao's timely defense prevented the possibility of 2+1. Griffin, who was carrying Wade, seemed to be strong. To be beaten.

Griffin raised his heel, raised the ball, and "swish", the first ball was hit, and the score was 6 points.

"The Clippers have a good record this season. Under the leadership of Paul, the Los Angeles Clippers have suppressed their rivals in the same city and are walking on a good road. Hey, Kobe on the court and Dwight on the bench, can you work harder? Back then? When Uncle Shaq was in Los Angeles, there was nothing going on with the Clippers!" O'Neal pointed.

"But Blake Griffin's performance and statistics have declined slightly compared to his first two seasons. His scoring has gone from 22 to 20 to 18 points now, and his rebounds have also gone from 12 to 8. I have to say, this The decline is surprisingly similar. The only area that has improved is free throw shooting. Griffin, who only made [-]% of his free throws last season, is almost the worst free throw shooter in the league, except of course for his teammate DeAndre Jordan."

Before O'Neal finished speaking, laughter erupted in the studio. It was obvious that Jordan's free throw shooting skills and the famous scenes that often appear in the top five embarrassing scenes made the experienced player commentators burst into laughter.
