Chapter 263 Unstoppable
When you are young, people often do not realize the value of time.As a player, a career is far shorter than a life journey, and many beautiful things will be blown away with the wind unconsciously.
Fans at the Air Canada Center Arena shouted to Kobe Bryant in unison, hoping that the soon-to-be-retired star would once again be on the field for the last All-Star Tour.
Xu Tian communicated with Kobe who was sitting on the sidelines during his retreat, and also persuaded him to return to the court.
As the saying goes, hospitality is hard to come by, although Kobe wants to save his energy for the regular season, playoffs and even the finals after the All-Star.But at this moment, he changed his mind, took off his warm-up suit, and walked to the technical stage.
Stephen Curry has a very high emotional intelligence, yelling at the court, making players foul on the court, thereby creating dead ball opportunities so that Kobe can play.
James Harden is a Kobe fan. He immediately hugged Wade next to him and stopped the game with a tactical foul.
Bryant walked onto the court amid deafening cheers from the audience, gave James Harden a laughing high-five, and then quickly entered the game state.
Personality is hard to change.A player with a strong desire to win begins to show an attitude of indifference. It's not that he really let go, but that he no longer has the strength to influence the game and has to let go.But once you give them hope of victory, that primal desire will return.
Before James entered the league, he put up posters of three people in the room, namely Jordan, Kobe and Iverson. All three of them can be called his idols.He took the initiative to dribble to Kobe, and the two tried to play one-on-one.
The All-Stars didn't affect the record, and the Western team had enough lead, so Xu Tian didn't interfere with the confrontation between the two superstars, and quietly stood by and watched.
James is in the golden age of players and has an absolute advantage. He successfully broke through to the paint area and crushed a layup with his left hand.
Kobe couldn't catch up, and wanted to use a push foul to stop it, but the referee gave him extra face and didn't call Kobe for a foul.
170-153!
DeMarcus Cousins steps to the baseline and serves to Bryant.
Kobe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt alone, facing James to defend at the top of the arc.The two were chatting and laughing, first they talked trash, and then they started attacking and defending half-seriously.
Kobe's style of play is still more traditional, holding the ball with his back against James, looking for space to shoot.
James wanted to keep the classic shot, defending hard like he did more than a decade ago, forcing Kobe to move to the perimeter.
Kobe was described by the media as "a person who drinks coffee faster than a man". So far in his career, he has never been afraid of challenges. His right waist stopped moving and began to shake his feet continuously, trying to trick James who was defending in front of him.
James didn't hesitate, and stretched out his right hand like a rock, trying his best to block the shot.
In order to ensure his condition, Kobe continued to lose weight during the season. He somewhat regained some of his youthful vitality. He leaned back decisively and rubbed James' fingertips to shoot.
The basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced into the air. Before Julius Randle in the penalty area could take off, No. 1, wearing a red All-Star jersey, had already flown into the air.
172-153!
James couldn't figure out how to restrain Xu Tian, who was going crazy, and turned his attention back to the competition with Kobe, running around Kobe all the time, spouting trash talk: "Kobe, you are old. If It’s me playing back and I can hit the ball completely, but you still need your teammates to help you make up.”
Kobe is usually a chatterbox on the court. Although he is not in good physical condition, he refuses to show weakness. He replied with a smile: "The victory or defeat is the most important thing on the basketball court. Look up and see the score, that is enough to surprise you."
James raised his eyes and looked at the scoreboard, seeing that the western team had once again widened the point difference to nearly [-] points. His original excitement faded, but he quickly found an excuse: "There is a gap between the east and the west. If I can compete with Kevin Durant partner, will not lose the All-Star game."
Seeing that James wasn't talking about the offensive and defensive round just now, Kobe smiled with satisfaction and didn't reply.The huge gap in strength between the east and the west is there, and basically every player can see it clearly.
DeMar DeRozan also admires Kobe very much, with a bit of Mamba spirit mixed in his bones, and he leans back with difficulty in the middle distance.
Xu Tian came out from the side, blocked the block from the side, and hit the ball into Kobe's hands.
Kobe didn't stop the ball and passed the ball back to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian is proficient at dribbling, running with the ball is not much different from pure running speed, striding forward with long legs, and rushing forward quickly.
James' athletic ability is outstanding, and he comes from behind, occupying a favorable defensive position.
Xu Tian received the ball at the top of the arc on the left side, looked directly at the basket, and completed the shooting smoothly and quickly.
James' defense took another step slower, his fingertips were only two inches from the basketball, and he almost blocked the shot.
The basketball draws a very high arc and falls into the net with precision!
175-153!
From the end of the game, there are only 5 minutes and 32 seconds left.
Tyronn Lu looked blankly at James who was dribbling, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how to deal with it.He wasn't just worried about this game, but worried that if the Lakers successfully broke through from the west, who would be able to stop Xu Tian from the Cavaliers.
George and Xu Tian have somewhat different personalities, but both of them are extremely eager for victory, and they are like-minded people. Seeing Xu Tian's unprecedented progress speed, he can't help but feel emotional.
Compared with the warm Los Angeles, Toronto is really a bit cold.Large dark clouds gradually formed in the dark sky, and the moisture in the air condensed into raindrops, which began to fall from the clouds.
The lights in the Air Canada Center arena illuminated the night road for fans who had not bought tickets and had to find shelter from the rain, so that they would not be too flustered.
The big posters with 24 star players still maintain the original demeanor, quietly watching the sudden drizzle and the running fans.
James failed to single Kobe Bryant, DeMarcus Cousins took the defensive rebound and passed it to Kobe.
Kobe has been supporting young people a lot in recent years, and Xu Tian, who has a tenacious desire to win, is even more favored by him.Even in the All-Stars, he didn't hesitate to show the opportunity, passing the ball to Xu Tian who was going down on the left.
Xu Tian's dunks lack imagination. This is the evaluation of him by the American media, but when it comes to the number of dunks, Xu Tian leads the league.
Julius Randall didn't want to be a tragic background board, so he took the initiative to avoid it and looked up at Xu Tian for a dunk.
Facing the unguarded basket, Xu Tian suddenly exerted force with his feet and dunked with one arm with his right hand!
177-153!
With this dunk, Xu Tian's personal score reached 36 points, leading the West team.Whether it is the media, the players or the fans watching the game through the broadcast media, they all know what this means.
