At the starry Staples Center, after a grand appearance ceremony, all the star players who started in the east and west stood in the center of the stadium.
On the Eastern Army side, Li Ke and Ross stood in the rear, with Lebang and Xiao Si on both sides, and sparks in front.
On the Western Conference side, Kobe and Paul stood in the back, with Guagua and Xiaodu on both sides, and Duncan in front.
That's right, it's Mr. Deng.
The original starting center of the Western Army was Yao Yao, but Yao Yao was destined to be unable to play, and then it was postponed to Anzhu.
As a result, An Zhu was injured before the All-Star, and the starting center had to be replaced. The league handed over the right to choose to Popovich.
Popovich chose Duncan without even thinking about it.
In this way, in the center of Staples, Mr. Deng and Sparks played against each other.
After a beep whistle sounded, there was no suspense, and the sparks had a huge advantage and drove them to the basketball.
Amid the cheers, the 2011 All-Star Weekend competition started.
As a point guard, Ross controlled the ball unscrupulously and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
The Eastern Army opened the frontcourt, and Li Ke and Lebang both directly extended their shameless hands.
"Sure enough, this guy is the only unstable factor in the Eastern Army..."
Lebang has become accustomed to playing with big bags, and it is natural for him to ask for the ball at the beginning.
However, the basketball appeared in Li Ke's hands the next second, which was the result he and Ross agreed before the game.
Lebang had a question mark on his face, and could only look at Li Ke holding the ball on the other side, directing his teammates to pull away.
Kobe is the one who is defending Li Ke. At the beginning, Kobe must be serious.
Li Ke did not underestimate the enemy, he leaned against Kobe.
At the Staples Center, a "defense" sounded, and the atmosphere was already very hot.
In the midst of heat, Li Ke turned around, pretending to be behind his back, and actually continued to turn around quickly.
Turning around and turning around, Li Ke wiped Kobe with a turn of about 270°.
Kobe's defense was already very serious, but Li Ke's outbreak was caught off guard.
After rushing to the near-frame range, Li Ke threw the ball out with the interference that Mr. Deng had almost no.
Swish—!
"The ball has entered!"
"Sheldon made a throw shot, and the Eastern Army scored the first record!"
The moment the ball entered, Staples had no reaction because Li Ke defeated Kobe's defense head-on.
Emma Roberts was also very quiet, no longer as noisy as the Christmas battle two months ago.
Because she had communicated with Mrs. Wa, she already understood that as a player's family, she should shut her mouth when watching the game on the sidelines.
In the quiet Staples, Li Ke was left alone to celebrate.
The Western Team kicked off the ball in the backcourt, and Brother Cannon controlled the ball all the way to the frontcourt.
All-star MVP, Ball was not very interested. He got one in 2008, but he lost his interest.
In recent All-Stars, Pao Ge has always been a simple passer tool, and the same is true for this game.
When he got to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Kobe.
This wave is "fulfilment". After Li Ke scored a one-on-one drop-off at the beginning...
Kobe already believes that his one-on-one and Li Ke have transferred to the All-Star Game.
Without pick-and-roll screen, Kobe played very simply, and he broke through and rushed straight to the basket.
Li Ke was also serious. He knew that Lebang was no longer worth worrying about in this game.
But Kobe on the opposite side was not careful and asked him to make a shot. The Western Conference won the game. No matter how many points Li Ke scored, it would be useless.
So, seriously Li Ke blocked Kobe near the free throw line.
Kobe also took advantage of the situation and took action like this.
Bang-!
In the All-Star Game, the sound of the iron is actually a bit harsh.
As the host, Kobe's performance silenced Staples.
Sparks grabbed the rebound, and the backcourt, Rose, Li Ke and Lebang were all waiting for the ball.
As a result, Spark chose Rose, who is the least offensive.
But Ross took the ball to Li Ke when he came to the frontcourt.
Lebang understood, and he stood outside the three-point line on the left side of the arc with his waist on his waist, a very iconic move.
On the front, Li Ke's singles against Kobe is also iconic.
A back-on-single from the top of the arc crushed Kobe to the near-frame area, turned around and made a layup with a low hand.
Swish—!
In this way, Li Ke made two consecutive games in the opening game. Even if he didn't feel hot, he was still hot now.
The Western Conference round was still Kobe's singles against Li Ke.
In the All-Star arena, the real high emotional intelligence style is to attack with all your strength and let the defense go.
But in the first two rounds, Kobe was serious in defense, and Li Ke, who wanted to win, could not let him go.
He was still a very serious defense and blocked Kobe.
Kobe stopped again in the middle distance, raised his hand and continued to hit the iron with a clang.
During the attack of the Eastern Army, Lebang continued to put his hips on his three-point line.
Li Ke slowed down for a while, and he got to the bottom corner and left the field to Rose.
Ross then made a rapid breakthrough, passing Paul in one round, rushed to the basket and made a layup.
At the beginning, the Eastern Army fought a 6-0 wave.
Lebang made a three-offensive round of waist, and Kobe had two irons in a row.
In the private room in the high stands, David Stern noticed something was wrong. One of the 23 and 24 played soy sauce, and the other completely tricked the Western Army for two rounds.
The players who scored the goals were from the 2007 and 2008. Times have changed?
In the next game, Kobe also slowed down the attack of the Western Conference.
Xiao Du, with Lebang's defense, threw in one and helped the Western Army break the scoring drought.
Li Ke fought another attack through the eastern troops. This time, he stopped in the middle distance and continued to hit with a swish.
The touch is already hot, and the difficulty of scoring the goal has been greatly reduced.
The Western Army's offense was completely dispersed.
During the attack of the Eastern Army, Li Ke let a ball out from time to time, but most of the ball was still in Li Ke's hands.
Lebang occasionally catches the ball and plays one, but he is still defended by serious Xiao Du.
As he fought, Lebang became anxious.
The first official timeout was suspended, and when he returned to the bench area off the court, Lebang was very direct: "This game is really boring. Let me get in. Doug, I don't want to play anymore."
Rivers had no intention of persuasion, and swung his hand to replace Pierce, and even Rose and Xiao Si who didn't want to play too much, Sparks were replaced, leaving only one Li Ke in the starting lineup.
In the second half of the first quarter, Li Ke continued to fire and quickly accumulated his score to 16 points.
With 16 points, 2 rebounds and 0 assists in a single quarter, the Eastern Conference scored 35-28, they scored a 7-point lead.
Li Ke directly pointed to the All-Star MVP...
In the second quarter, Li Ke took a short break and Lebang applied to appear.
He thought that without Li Ke and Xiao Du, two evil men from the 2007, he could finally start the show.
As a result, he encountered Kobe, who also hit a wall in the first quarter and is now very angry.
Then, a wave of losing match between Kobe and Lebang directly announced that the two missed the All-Star MVP competition.
In the second half of the second quarter, Li Ke reappeared and further improved his data to 23 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.
After halftime, the Eastern Army also led the Western Army by as many as 9 points with a score of 72 to 63.
It’s actually wrong to say too much. The 9-point difference between the All-Star Game is really not big. Sometimes, it’s just a little bit like a wave and you’ll get back.
Sure enough, in the second half, Li Kezheng gave in with high emotional intelligence (playing assists). He looked at the starters of Ross, Xiao Si, and Lebang, which kept playing singles with the ball.
Emmm, Ross and Xiao Si play very casually, Lebang is serious, but the Western Conference side faces Xiao Du, who is defending him, is even more serious.
After all, the temptation of Hollywood first-line actresses is too great...
As a result, this wave happened, and the Western Army quickly scored only 4 points away.
When Li Ke saw that the situation was wrong, he directly ended the ball handover session, took the ball rights back into his hands, and started to do it himself.
Because of the 5-point advantage of this wave, Li Ke had to do his best in the second half of the third quarter.
Then, I scored 11 points in one round and a half quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, Li Ke, who scored 34 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, led the Eastern Army to regain the advantage.
With a score of 105 to 95, a double-digit lead, Li Ke got the sense of security he wanted.
In the fourth quarter, the decisive battle was made.
Generally speaking, in an All-Star Game, two will be played at the beginning of the first quarter, making the atmosphere come out, and the second and third quarters will continue to be played.
Then no matter what the first three sections are like, the east and west will start to be serious in the fourth section.
After all, the competition is about to end, and all those who should compete for honor have begun to compete, so don’t you be serious?
But this year's All-Star Game, Li Ke was already ahead of the crowd by the end of the third quarter.
No one competed with him in the east, but in the west, it was not a big problem to fall behind in the score.
The problem is that Kobe, who was committed to competing for MVP before the game, was awkward at the beginning.
After that, Xiao Du, Pao Ge, and even Guagua and Griffin were not outstanding enough.
Under this situation, the Western Army's fighting spirit is not so strong.
Guagua wanted to give it a try, after all, it was successful, that was to snatch Li Ke’s mvp.
As a result, Li Ke discovered this keenly and directly changed his guard to Guagua.
After a fight, the Eastern Army secured the victory of the game.
Before the end of the game, the Eastern Army maintained a double-digit lead.
This caused the last two minutes of the game to lose all suspense, and the commentator couldn't be more interested.
Waiting for the timer to buzz, the red light illuminated, Mike Bryn shouted: "The game is over, with a score of 142 to 131, the Eastern All-Stars, led by Sheldon Lee, won this highly anticipated All-Star battle!"
"Sheldon scored 43 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, which has secured the honor of MVP in this All-Star Weekend."
After the game, Li Ke raised his hands high and rushed to the side of the court with a surprised gaze.
The thin Emma Roberts jumped up and was then held in his arms by Li Ke.
This scene surprised many people, and some bystanders who thought of the Christmas War were not surprised.
"This guy, is it public?"
Xiao Du was sour, but soon, he thought of the Hollywood first-line actress that Li Ke promised, and became optimistic and cheerful again.
David Stern was soon invited to Staples's venue by the on-site host. After a formulaic speech, David Stern announced:
"The mvp of this All-Star Game is—"
In fact, there was no suspense, so Stern stopped keeping it and shouted Li Ke's name directly: "Li! Ke!"
That's right, it's Li Ke.
NBA commentators are used to calling Li Ke Sheldon Lee. As the president of the league, David Stern still remembers Li Ke's real name, which is professional.
Staples cheered with great relief. Amid the cheers, Li Ke picked up the MVP of the All-Star Game.
This is the first All-Star MVP of his career.
"Without regular season mvp, an All-Star mvp will be fine."
Rubbing the trophy, Li Ke suddenly understood a truth.
All-stars play not because of strength, but because of popularity and connections.
How did Li Ke’s MVP come from?
First of all, it was his popularity in the League, which gave him an All-Star starting position.
Then there are connections.
Although he has no relationship with the 2003 generation, he still has no problems with the players after 2003.
With Rivers' strong support and a scheming in the field, the MVP was automatically penetrated into Li Ke's pocket without Li Ke's bleeding and sweating.
Thinking through the key point, after the award ceremony, Li Ke did not rush to lead Emma Roberts away, but wandered around the center of Staples for a while.
He found Brother Pao and talked about the trading rumors that were rampant during this period.
"I really want to leave New Orleans, but Del Demps talked to me and he hoped I would stay for another season..."
Del Demps is the new general manager of the Hornets, and he has made Paul stay quite good.
New coach Mike D'Anthony has not finished a season, so there is no big problem with Hornets' signings. After playing a full season, it is reasonable to try the value of the Hornets' current matching.
After talking about this part, Li Ke roughly understood the new situation in the alliance after the transaction deadline.
"If Brother Pao doesn't leave New Orleans, the Nets' plan to win Guagua and Guagua will be shattered. Compared with the Nets with poor record, Guagua will definitely choose the Knicks who seem more promising at the moment."
"The inertia of history is still too strong. Guaguaga's Knicks is really no threat."
"There is no way to win Guagua and Pao Brother. The only thing the Nets can get is Deron. I don't know if Billy King can be smarter. Seeing through Deron's essence is a point guard who relies on Jerry Sloan to show off his power."
"If Billy King can see through this, the Nets will have a future, otherwise..."
The general trend between the Nets and the Knicks is decided, and the rest is about the overall situation.
"The Nuggets have left Guagua, and they should be demolishing the team. I'm afraid the cuts I've been dismantled will be going to the Cavaliers."
"A Cavalier who has made up for the bench lineup should not be underestimated..."
Therefore, in the second half of the season, the Cavaliers will rise, and with the current strong Bulls, the East will be in a three-legged situation.
The West is still as chaotic as ever, and the eastward trip of Delong and Guagua will only relieve the pressure on the top-ranked teams.
Chapter completed!
