Chapter 609 What Should Come Will Come
As the saying goes, what should come will come sooner or later.
The Giannis team entered the intermission with a 12-point lead.But for the All-Star Game, which cost [-] to [-] points, more than [-] points is not an advantage.And, everyone knows that if only these players were a little more serious, the game would be different.For example, when James, Durant, and Leonard participate in the defensive end together, the excellent outside scoring group of the Giannis team may be in a difficult situation.
Normal time belongs to the famous American rapper Cole.To be honest, An Luo really doesn't appreciate rap, but from the fanatical reactions of those players and the fans at the scene, it can be seen that this guy in a Hornets-style jacket and long braids performed really well .
This is not the first time An Luo has met Cole.This guy was also on the Humanoid Obstacle team at yesterday's dunk contest.Assisted Smith to complete a dunk with a perfect score.Of course, this wasn't enough for An Luo to remember him as a person.If it wasn't for the dunk that hit the edge of the basket later, An Luo would not have remembered him.
The current NBA All-Star Weekend has gone out of the basketball circle and has become a comprehensive stage.Every year, the NBA officially invites some well-known entertainment stars to participate in the All-Star.Playing celebrity games, halftime performances, watching games... Of course, the people who can be invited to participate in this grand event are also the best in various industries.
The show is over and the game continues.
As soon as they came up, the two sides put on an appearance of serious competition.Kemba Walker stole Wade on the first possession and finished with a layup.It can be seen that both sides have strengthened their defenses.
Looking back, James responded with an ultra-long alley-oop with Durant from beyond the right three-point line.And in the next defense, he grabbed a backcourt rebound.
After receiving the ball, Wade rushed to the basket quickly.It can be seen that his speed is indeed not as fast as when he was young!But this does not affect his completion of this fast break.
At this moment, James followed Wade into the three-point line with great strides.
At this moment, the center of the spectrum suddenly boiled.All the fans were staring at the figures running on the field.This is the moment that everyone has been waiting for.
Naturally, Wade also saw James following him. Without hesitation, he threw the ball directly to the backboard, and then rushed straight out of the baseline.James from behind flies up, catches the rebounded basketball in the air, and hacks the ball into the basket from the back of his head.
Boom!
All the people cheered.The much-anticipated "Janeway Connection" was finally staged.Familiar rhythm, tacit cooperation, just like back then.
However, after the cheers, there is loneliness.This kind of cooperation is probably the swan song tonight!
At the same time, those fans who did not come to watch the game sighed online: My youth is over!
Indeed, almost all the players who entered the league at the beginning of the century have retired.The remaining few have also reached the late stage of their careers.Many fans born in the 85s and 90s have witnessed the entire careers of stars like James and Wade.More than ten years have passed, and everyone is old now.
This long-lost connection seemed to ignite James' fighting spirit at once.In subsequent games, he played more resolutely.He took the ball to the basket many times. Although he didn't succeed every time, other players began to become "serious" under his leadership.
Under such circumstances, Team LeBron began to gain the upper hand.Durant, Irving and An Luo, Lillard, Jokic and others who played in the second half of the third quarter performed well.With the "cooperation" of Westbrook and Curry, they finally achieved a lead in the score.
When An Luo scored the go-ahead goal, the entire LeBron team's bench cheered and jumped.Although the All-Star game is for everyone to play together, but when it comes time to decide the outcome, these guys will not be soft-hearted.For these guys, no matter what kind of game, they don't want to lose.
Victory is never small or big.
At this time, everyone knew that the next game was about to see the main chapter.
Westbrook stepped up to tie the score for the Giannis team. He started directly from the three-point line and went all the way to Lillard for a layup.Lillard defended toughly, and Westbrook played very resolutely.
Then, An Luo once again responded with a three-pointer.And Westbrook also repeated the same trick, shaking off the defender and hitting the basket with the bar to score.
This is interesting, the critical moment of the game has become a mutual killing in the backcourt of the Thunder!
In the end, the two sides scored 135:134, and Team LeBron completed the overtake in this quarter.
During the intermission, before the smoke of the last period cleared, a very heart-warming show was staged on the court-a special jersey presentation ceremony.
The two All-Star captains James and Antetokounmpo presented commemorative jerseys in transparent glass frames to two special All-Star players, Wade and Nowitzki, on behalf of the entire NBA.
This is the league's recognition of the two veterans, and it is what all fans want to see.There is no better place than this stage.Just like what Adam Silver said when he gave these two wild card spots to Nowitzki and Wade: Nowitzki and Wade embody the best side of the NBA and dedicate everything to the league.As a global basketball event, the All-Star Game is the best place to pay tribute to these two outstanding championship and FMVP players.
I have to say that fate is really amazing. In 2006, Wade made a big splash in the Finals and snatched the championship and FMVP from Nowitzki; in 2011, Nowitzki won the championship from the three Wade brothers with the same score. The championship and FMVP that I lost were taken back.The gains and losses of the peak duel in the finals are the most painful successes and regrets in the careers of Nowitzki and Wade.Now, these two great players participated in the last All-Star Game at the same time, won this year's jersey at the same time, and left the NBA stage at the same time.
"At that time, we were tit-for-tat enemies, and we didn't like each other because we both wanted to win. But we both knew that it was that fierce competition that made us who we became later on."
The so-called opponent should be defined like this.Make the best of each other.
"Thank you for allowing me to participate in this All-Star Game, allowing me to present performances for everyone again. Although I am about to retire soon, basketball is always my love."
