Chapter 140 All-Star Game

Amidst the excitement of the commentator shouting his voice hoarse, Zhang Chen learned that he had set a new record.

At the same time, he won the All-Star Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest. The "God of Basketball" Jordan once wanted to do this, but he left the lowest record of 5 points in the three-point contest, which is also a record.

Zhang Chen set a new record this time, and the scene gave people the impression that many people were more excited than him.

This feeling is really comfortable. He raised his arms high and let out a carefree whistling sound.

The reporter rushed over without losing the opportunity, "Zhang, tell us to wait for you to come over after winning the slam dunk championship. Now we can talk to our heart's content."

"Of course, what do you want to talk about, can you correct the girl from any place?"

"We can discuss this in private. We want to know now, are you interested in tomorrow's All-Star Game MVP?"

This reporter is really not good at this kind of problem. Originally, he represented the East and defeated the West last year. Now that he is in the West and wants to compete for the MVP, other guys will definitely want to kill him.

But for this kind of question, he has always had a fixed set of rhetoric.

"MVP? I never care about this. The purpose of my participation in the game is to win. In order to win, everything else can be discarded. Tomorrow's game, I only want to help the West win, just like I helped the East win last year. Who is the MVP? unimportant."

Then he boasted that the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest don’t value points, just win. He is not a perfectionist. The only requirement is to win. As long as you do better than your opponent, everything else is fine. unimportant.

Of course, these things are half true and half false. It is right to win first, but he doesn't mind if he gets some honors by the way.

The All-Star Game is still about fun, and the five starters in the West are relatively young. The real old guy is Karl Malone. He said hello to the coach early, and just showed his face.

Zhang Chen also used his handsome face and performance props, and then went to the Western All-Star coach Rick Adelman, expressing his desire to become a western point guard.

I don’t know if it’s because Adelman is easy to talk in the first place, or because of props. He happily agreed to Zhang Chen’s request. Speaking of which, this request is not too abrupt. Zhang Chen played the No. [-] position last year in the Eastern Conference. There is no real No. [-] player in the starting lineup, and it is normal for him to come to play a guest role.

Unexpectedly, the scene of his communication with the coach was seen by Kobe who had been following him, "Why are you organizing the team's offense." Kobe was full of doubts.

"I have more assists than you, it's that simple." Zhang Chen directly used his trump card.

This season Kobe's stats are close to 30+5+5, which can be described as extremely gorgeous, while Zhang Chen's stats are almost 30+7+7, and he is in the top five of the regular season MVP list. All of this is even more gorgeous than Kobe .

"You guy, you don't want to organize an attack at all, you just want to grab the MVP, I won't let you succeed." Kobe snorted coldly, and suddenly increased his voice, "Everyone, this last year's enemy and Coach Adelman You say you want to attack the organization."

Shit, is it necessary to yell like this? Zhang Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, I will pass the ball well, and I will happily win the game with everyone."

Hearing what the two said, Duncan immediately smirked and said, "Zhang, it's okay for you to play the organization, but you have to know the tradition of the West, which is to focus on the inside. If you fight outside, we don't want you to play the organization."

"Yes, I can also organize this kind of thing." Weber said.

Garnett laughed and said, "Don't listen to them, just remember to pass the ball to me."

Zhang Chen talked nonsense with a group of people, the age difference was not too big, and they got acquainted quickly.

The Warriors and Kings are the only two teams in the West that have two All-Stars, which is also very proud.

The two teams from the east and the west are fighting on the court, and the height advantage of the west is particularly obvious.

Zhang Chen also greeted those in the east. Iverson came over and hugged him, and said with a smile, "Zhang, now that you're in the west, you can't help you win the All-Star MVP."

"Don't say that, you can still get one for me."

"Dream, I will definitely defeat you."

Garnett participated in the jump ball on the west side, and Antonio Davis on the east side.

"If you don't get the ball, just wait for the pass." Zhang Chen joked.

Garnett is also a face-saving person, so he cheered up immediately. The referee gave a whistle and pushed the ball in front of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen rushed over with the ball. the eastern restricted area.

Only Kobe and Garnett followed from the western side. Zhang Chen made a fake move and threw the basketball behind his head. Garnett grabbed the ball and stepped into the penalty area. His long arm smashed the basketball into it. ball basket.

This is pretty cool, there are three great big men on the team, and they can play whatever they want.

There's no point guard in the East either, so it's Iverson who handles the ball.

Because Iverson had already won the All-Star MVP with the help of Zhang Chen last year, so he was not in a hurry to attack at the beginning, and organized in a satisfactory manner.

The two starting insiders in the Eastern Conference are not very offensive. With Duncan and Garnett standing in it, it is difficult to get inside. After they simply switched positions, Iverson passed the ball Carter, Carter's mid-range shot started the Eastern Conference's first offense.

It's a pity that Kobe's defense is also very serious, and Carter hit the iron with this ball.

The East returned to defense very quickly, but it was easier for Zhang Chen to play positional battles. He directly lobbed the ball to Duncan inside, and then stood outside the three-point line to watch.

In fact, the same as last year, the western side has a balanced offense and defense, the ability of the inside and outside line personnel is balanced, and the inside line is more dominant. These are all things that the east side can't do so well, so from the beginning, the advantage has gradually concentrated to the west. side.

To put it simply, five players in the West can score, and only Iverson and Carter can attack in the East. Anthony Mason Jr. and Antonio Davis are suppressed to death, and Tracy McGrady The performance was very poor. It is estimated that he is a little uncomfortable to start directly as an All-Star.

When the lineup enters the rotation, the East is better. Marbury, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Sprewell, Stackhouse and others performed well, while Kidd, Finn Lee and McDyess are also good at attacking.

Generally speaking, the west has been controlling the scene because of its height advantage, while Larry Brown in the east is sharing the time evenly, and Adelman gives them more time to start five players, like Malone. Yes, there is also an all-star rookie like Jamison, so he won't get much time.

The score in the West has always been leading, and Zhang Chen has no chance to play. When he was replaced in the third quarter, he only scored 10 points and 5 assists. He only scored 10 points by throwing two three-pointers secretly. It's a down position, and then Duncan, Garnett and Webb can do whatever they want in the interior, plus they score a lot, but they don't score a lot.

Sitting on the sidelines, Zhang Chen was wondering whether the original situation would happen.

That kid Iverson already has an MVP, so don't try your best.

Zhang Chen's worries are obviously unnecessary. A player with Iverson's character, no matter how unfavorable the team's situation is, and whether it is an All-Star game or not, he will definitely go all out.

It was not Iverson who made the first effort in the fourth quarter. First Mutombo gave Divac two caps, Ray Allen fired from the outside, and then the Eastern Conference replaced Mutomboga's four-minor lineup.

Marbury holds the ball, Iverson at shooting guard, Ray Allen at small forward, Carter at power forward, and Mutombo alone supports the inside.

This lineup immediately had a miraculous effect. They defensively flanked the big men in the West. After a successful defense, they immediately went on a fast break, and the insiders in the West couldn't keep up.

Larry-Brown changed three starters, which can be regarded as hard work. At most, he was behind by 21 points, and then chased by 10 points all at once. This style of play is actually the same tactic as Zhang Chen proposed last year. It's just slightly different because of the change of players.

Steals, defensive rebounds, quick plays, and when a group of amazingly talented guys get together, scoring is so easy, you can complete an offense in less than 5 seconds.

When Adelman replaced all the main players again, the point difference was only 6 points.

"I, Iverson, Marbury, do you have any questions?" Zhang Chen yelled, and seeing that Kobe didn't answer, he added, "You can't figure it out, you can tell me early, in the end it must be the two of them leading the way." Offensive, you say it and let others defend it, it’s not good to drag us back.”

Kobe immediately became angry, "Whoever you say is slowing down, I will not be able to handle it. He is fine with zero seals. You should defend well. If you lose the game, I will not forgive you."

Zhang Chen greeted Duncan and Garnett again. Regardless of Iverson and Marbury's excellent counterattack, the key player in the East is actually Mutombo. He is now 18+5. With 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, without him covering the sky inside, there would be no counterattack in the East.

Now that the Eastern Conference is implementing pincer attacks on the inside, in fact, the offensive advantages of the Western Conference's insiders are no longer obvious. The key is to fight for defense. It is enough to have him and Kobe on offense.

As soon as the exhortation was finished, Marbury made a three-pointer over there, and the score was narrowed to 3 points.

Kobe's complexion changed, and he was slapped in the face just after he finished his big talk. In fact, he can't be completely blamed for this ball. Marbury just made an unreasonable and strong shot from outside the three-point line.

However, it was reasonable to score a goal, but he didn't pay enough attention to defense. Zhang Chen didn't say much, but just glanced at Kobe lightly.

Kobe gritted his teeth, his eyes almost burst into flames.

Zhang Chen pushed forward with the ball, "Everyone pay attention, it's time to accept the game."
