  Chapter 641 641. Return favor

  Ray Allen responded: "It's not how serious he is about this game, but about his body...Is this your first time participating in an All-Star?"

Parker feels like his little heart has been stabbed. This year is his 5th year in his career. It is indeed the first time he has been selected as an All-Star. After looking at the rest of the Western team, he is indeed the best. Brand was in the third grade Already an All-Star.

   Shaking his head, Parker collected his emotions and replied: "Yes, I am also an All-Star now. My goal is to be selected as an All-Star every year like you."

  Ray Allen looked at Parker without nodding his head. After Parker finished speaking, it took two seconds before he responded, "I see. I'm going to warm up first."

   After speaking, Ray Allen really walked towards the gym, stepped on the spot and started to warm up.

   Parker: "???"

   In the past, the little sports car thought that the warden was a devil. Occasionally, if he had the opportunity to say a few words with the warden, he felt that he could **** him off.

   Now he finds that compared to Ray Allen, Liu Xiu is simply too easy to communicate...

   But look at Liu Xiu, look at Ray Allen, Parker thought about it, and then walked to the gym to start warming up.

   I ate at 4 o'clock, and it's just past 5:30. At this time, the All-Stars have not yet planned to formally warm up.

Last year, Liu Xiu started warming up early by himself, and it would be a lot without him. The year before last, Liu Xiu and Garnett "fighted" and didn't warm up much. But this time, 3 of the 12 All-Stars started warming up, 1/4 The number of people, there are always people who are unwilling to lag behind. The first one who is unwilling to lag behind is Garnett, the wolf king who tacitly "fights each other". When Kobe sees this, how can he be missing in training?

   Then Nash also started to warm up, and Duncan followed up...

LeBron James, who has always liked to befriend the stars of other teams, brought his brother to the Western team training ground. What he saw was that the Western team started warming up just after 5:30, just like an official game. Bringing Wade and Bosh back to the training ground, calling the All-Star teammates who have gotten to know each other well in the past two days to warm up together, and then the East team was also driven... His little emperor has a goal for this year's All-Star Weekend .

   When Liu Xiu found out that the All-Stars were suddenly rolled up...

  …

   At 8 o'clock in the evening, the 2006 Houston All-Star Weekend kicked off.

  Eastern team starting: Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Carter, James, Yao Ming.

  West team: Nash, Liu Xiu, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan.

  The game was played very intensely from the very beginning, and the champions of the East and West entered into a needle-tip mode from the beginning of the game. James and Kobe took the first three shots in the East and West.

   James, with the support of Iverson, got the main attack opportunity.

   Kobe also has the support of Liu Xiu and Nash, both of whom are willing to give the ball.

  Nash supported, Kobe didn't find it strange, Liu Xiu supported, Kobe was surprised but took it for granted.

   This guy comes to his house every summer to eat, drink, and learn skills. Last year, he helped this guy get AMVP. This year, it's his turn to repay him.

  As Kobe thought, Liu Xiu originally planned to fight for it. Honor, who doesn’t want too much, naturally has to fight for the opportunity, but seeing Kobe asking for the ball, Liu Xiu still chose to give it.

   There is back and forth.

  In the All-Star Game, everyone doesn't have much experience in cooperation, and they don't work too hard in preparation and warm-up, so there is always a process of adaptation in the opening stage.

  But this year's initial adaptation stage was extremely short, mainly because the players warmed up well and entered the game rhythm quickly.

  The strength of the players of the two teams is there. The lower limit of the strength of the inside and outside lines is players of the level of Brand and Parker.

  The atmosphere has reached this level. In the game, everyone wants to win. It is really difficult to distinguish between the two teams with their offense open. So, after playing and fighting, the two teams unconsciously began to pull back on defense.

At the end of the first quarter, James made 1 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws to get 4 points. Kobe made 2 of 3 shots, including 1 of 3 pointers and scored 5 points, but the score in the whole quarter was only 27 to 28. The West trails the East by one point.

   In the second quarter, Maurice Cheeks began to take the initiative to adjust the lineup and play style. At the beginning, Parker and Duncan's pick-and-rolls were used as the starting point of the offense. Kobe was the main attacker, Garnett was supporting, and Ray Allen was responding.

   The stars of the two teams are more adaptable to each other's defense, and there are more small-scale cooperation on the offensive end. When the defensive cooperation between the two teams has also become better, the scoring is still on the rise.

  Seeing that Liu Xiu gave up the opportunity to Kobe today, Maurice Cheeks knew that Kobe helped Liu Xiu last year, so he helped Liu Xiu return the favor and worked out such a lineup for Kobe.

   When Liu Xiu watched Parker and Duncan pick and roll from the sidelines, he found that from this perspective, Parker's pick and roll offense with the ball and the way he played after splitting the ball were similar to him!

It’s not easy to find if you don’t look carefully, because Parker breaks through the pick-and-roll and likes to attack the frame, and Liu Xiu likes to shoot mid-range. After Liu Xiu disassembled the bottom line, he walked towards the bottom corner. As a checkpoint, he responded to the shot from the right sideline.

  The similarity lies in the rhythm and the selection of shots or passes at certain times.

  After watching a few more rounds, Liu Xiu confirmed that the little sports car is learning from him!

He was quite surprised. Parker entered the NBA two years earlier than him. He felt that he was learning how to play from Parker. For example, Parker's rhythm control that began to accelerate in the middle circle and that throwing shot in the Champions League were all due to him. learning goals.

  He turned on the system and looked at the temporary teammate list for the All-Star Game.

  Parker, born in May 1982...

   Well, it turned out to be a little brother, so let’s learn after learning.

  Technology, there are times when he learns from others, and naturally there are times when others learn from him.

  At this moment, Liu Xiu understood why Kobe and Nash, two direct competitors, were willing to teach him.

  It is actually quite happy that the technology I am good at is imitated by others. If a third person can see it and spread the word, I will be even happier.

  Teaching others is creating this kind of happiness.

   Of course, the premise is that the personal relationship is passable.

Since Liu Xiu wants to be a support staff, Liu Xiu will do a good job as a support. After Liu Xiu came on the field in the second half of the second quarter, he continued to play pick-and-roll cooperation with Duncan. The entire quarter was full, with Garnett playing the first half and Gasol playing the second half, with Duncan + Garnett or Duncan + Gasol as the tactical core, creating many opportunities for Kobe to catch and shoot.

Relying on Duncan's 2 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, Parker's 6 points and 1 assist, Liu Xiu's 4 points and 3 assists, and Kobe's 11 points, the West team scored 33 points in the second quarter and scored 33 to 30 in a single quarter. At the end of the game, they overtook the East by two points 60 to 58.
