NOVEL NEXT NBA: One Super Talent of the Week
Chapter 258 All-Star Game!
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in the blink of an eye, the All-Star Weekend has officially kicked off.
The Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shootout Contest and Slam Dunk Contest were held as scheduled.
Among them, Sabonis won the skills challenge championship.Competitions like the Skills Challenge used to be easier for defenders to win, but now they have been won by center players for two consecutive years. Last year it was Adebayor, and this year it is Sabonis.I have to say that centers in the small ball era are really becoming more and more versatile.
Curry wins the three-point contest.Curry has also won the three-point shooting contest twice.
Anfernee Simons wins the dunk contest!This year's slam dunk contest was really not interesting. Only three people participated. The championship was also awarded to Anfernee Simons.
This year's Rookie Challenge was announced to be cancelled. As for the reason for the cancellation, it was because the Rookie Challenge itself was not popular, and coupled with the impact of masks, it was simply canceled.
Duan Yu was once again elected as the vote winner of the All-Star Game. This is the third consecutive season that he has been the vote winner.
Duan Yu continues to serve as the starting captain of the Eastern Conference and selects his own players.
The players selected by Duan Yu are Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard, Nikola Jokic, and Bradley Beal.
The Eastern Conference's substitutes are: James Harden, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Zach LaVine, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis and Vucevic.
This season, Harden has missed the All-Star starting lineup and can only be relegated to the bench.
Although Harden's performance has been very good after joining the Pelicans, before his trade, Harden's performance with the Rockets was too serious, which also caused his reputation and votes to shrink significantly. So much so that he was not selected for the All-Star Game.
In the past four seasons, Harden has been the undisputed All-Star starting guard, but this year he was lost due to the trade farce.
Of course, although his bad performance caused his reputation to decline, Harden's goal was achieved. He successfully got rid of the Rockets and joined the Pelicans.
Compared with losing an All-Star Game starter that focused on entertainment, it is obviously more cost-effective for Harden to achieve his goal.
The Western Conference continues to be captained by James.
Even though he is already in his thirties, even though he has begun to go bald, his status in the league is still top-notch!
The players James selected were Joel Embiid, Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
The substitutes for the Western Conference are: Chris Paul, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Zion Williams, Julius Randle.
Harden missed the start of the All-Star Game, but Paul was once again selected as a substitute for the All-Star Game.
It would not be surprising if Paul at his peak was selected as an All-Star substitute, and it would not be surprising even if he was selected as a starter.
But in his final years, Paul was selected as an All-Star again because his performance was so great.
Since he was traded to the Suns, the Suns' record has been directly upgraded from a weak team to a super team.The record has soared to second place in the Western Conference, second only to the Pelicans led by Durant and Harden, which shows Paul's strong leadership ability!
It’s really taking someone to take off!
After the entrance ceremony, the 2021 All-Star Game officially begins!
The referee threw the ball high in the center circle.
Jokic and Embiid jump ball.
Jokic was even better and successfully got the ball for the Eastern Conference's first attack.
Duan Yu took possession of the ball just after half-time, stepped on the logo, and threw the ball away before the players on both sides were in position.
When Curry saw this, he immediately raised his hands.
He knows 3-pointers best. Looking at the flight path of Duan Yu's ball, it is obvious that he has scored.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket.
"wooow!"
As Duan Yu hit a three-pointer with this logo, the entire scene immediately became heated.
Western ball rights.
James wanted to hit back, but unfortunately, although the trajectory of the ball was positive, the force was a bit stronger. The basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.
Jokic picked off the backboard, made a long pass, and threw it towards the frontcourt.
Leonard successfully caught the ball, and with no one on guard, he directly made a gliding dunk and smashed the ball into the basket.
The East gets another 2 points.
Then, James passed the ball to Antetokounmpo, who took a three-step layup and scored the basketball with a tomahawk dunk.
5: 2.
next round.
Duan Yu assisted Curry and hit another three-pointer!
Looking back, Durant responded with a mid-range shot.
Because it was an entertainment game, no one had any defense. Both sides played at a fast pace and their shooting percentages were surprisingly high.
After half a quarter.
Both teams had a tacit understanding and replaced substitute players.
Although they are substitute players, their abilities are not necessarily weaker than those of the starting players, but their popularity is slightly less.
The most obvious one is Harden.
As soon as he came on the court, he hit two signature step-back three-pointers in a row.
In one fell swoop, the point difference expanded to double digits!
However, Western Conference substitute Lillard stepped forward at the critical moment and scored two super long three-pointers, successfully stabilizing the situation!
Both sides are going back and forth, the rhythm is very fast and very smooth!
The first quarter is over.
The Eastern Duan Yu team temporarily leads the Western James team 49:44.
Coming up in the second quarter.
There was a time when James' team overtook the score. They frequently attacked the inside and scored crazy points through Antetokounmpo's almost unstoppable impact!
Since it is an All-Star game, when you attack the inside, most opponents will not guard you, which is equivalent to giving you points.
And Antetokounmpo seems to be rushing very hard.
He failed to win the All-Star Game MVP in the past two years, so this year he wants to be bold again and try to win an MVP!
Duan Yu is actually no longer interested in the All-Star Game MVP. In addition to hitting his first logo three-pointer in this game, he spent most of his time delivering cannonballs to his teammates.
But seeing Antetokounmpo competing for MVP again, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Duan Yu will never forgive Brother Antetokounmpo easily.
If he hadn't cheated, and the fairy water had saved his wounded soldiers, he might still be sitting on the sidelines wearing protective boots and watching the game!The Nets may not have won that championship last year.
"Let no one win the MVP, and I won't let you Antetokounmpo win the MVP! As long as I am the starter in the All-Star Game for a day, you will never get the MVP trophy for a day!"
So, next, Duan Yu also frequently rushed into the paint and performed various fancy dunks!
Almost every one of Duan Yu's dunks can score 50 points in the dunk contest!
The dunk effect is even more crushing than Antetokounmpo!
This also made the entire audience cheer and shout loudly.
Some people even complained, "What the hell was that dunk in yesterday's dunk contest? It wasn't as powerful as my brother Yu's ordinary dunk!"
"Yeah, when watching the dunk contest, I might as well watch my brother Yu dunk! If my brother Yu participates in this year's dunk contest, I really don't know what kind of explosive dunks he will bring to us!"
......
Antetokounmpo also realized that Duan Yu was taking the initiative to score, and it seemed that he was competing with him again!
Antetokounmpo also smiled bitterly, "Duan Yu actually came to oppose me again? It seems that I can't win the All-Star Game MVP again! Fake!"
The game continues, with both sides going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.
Halftime was over quickly.
Duan Yu scored the highest score in the game with 26 points.
Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, closely followed!
Duan Yu's team still relied on Duan Yu's stable performance and successfully recovered the disadvantage.
The score between the two sides was fixed at 86:84.
The Eastern Conference temporarily leads by 2 points!
