I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 160: The torch of heroes!

On February 9, 2003, at nine o'clock in the evening, Atlanta Phillips Arena.

Before the two-team All-Star came out tonight, the audience at Phillips Arena was already full.

Under the rendering of the live Dj, any audience on the scene did not want to miss every moment of the god-like man in the final game of the NBA All-Star Game.

Of course, as the protagonist of the game tonight, Jordan will of course be the last to appear.

In the warm anticipation of the audience, Adelman, the head coach of the Western All-Stars and the head coach of the Kings, took the lead on the Avenue of Stars.

And following Adelman is the Mavericks head player Nowitzki.

Nowitzki shyly waved into the Avenue of Stars with the audience on the sidelines.

Behind Nowitzki are O'Neal and Marbury who are playing tricks.

Next, Marion, Peja, Payton and Duncan also stepped onto the Avenue of Stars.

Nash, Malone, Francis, when Kobe finally played, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax for the first time.

The climax of the scene is not for Kobe, who is the last to come out in the West.

Because next is the East, next is Jordan!

Behind Kobe, walking up the Avenue of Stars is the head coach of the East, the head coach of the Pacers, and the smiling assassin Isiah Thomas.

And behind him are Richard Jefferson, Martin and Kidd's three-star Nets.

After the Nets three stars, Carter and O'Neal, then Iverson, Ben Wallace and McGrady.

And Chen Xiao was Yao Ming and Wade who walked through the Avenue of Stars together.

Listening to the cheers at the scene, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, and Wade all had smiles on their faces.

But if you look closely, the smiles of the three are still different.

Chen Xiao was a smirk without any pressure.

Wade's smirk is playing cool.

Yao Ming, on the other hand, had an extremely nervous smile or awkward smile.

It is really strange to say that Dayao is really quite easy to get nervous.

It is easy to get nervous when encountering anything.

But it is also strange that Dayao is nervous, but basically he will not lose the chain because of nervousness.

Chen Xiao used to worry that Yao Ming would be nervous, but now.

Just be embarrassed, anyway, just force it!

Just as Chen Xiao, Wade and Yao Ming walked through the Avenue of Stars, the audience suddenly uttered their biggest cheers tonight.

"Michael—"

"Jordan!"

When Jordan played after Chen Xiao and the three of them, whether it was the audience or the All-Star players of the two teams that played before, they all applauded and cheered the true body of the basketball world.

Looking at Jordan, who was slowly passing the Avenue of Stars at this time, Chen Xiao's eyes were full of respect and envy.

"I don't know the day I retire, will I be regarded as a hero by the whole world like Jordan?"

After the All-Star players of the two teams played, both the Western and Eastern All-Stars embraced Jordan under the eyes of the world and all the scenes on the scene.

The protagonist tonight is only Jordan.

Whether it is Chen Xiao, Yao Ming or Kobe or O'Neal, all are supporting roles.

However, although there is only one protagonist, it does not mean that the supporting role will definitely cooperate with the protagonist.

Chen Xiao and the others are of course the ‘decent supporting roles’ around the protagonist, while Kobe, O’Neal and Malone’s supporting roles are obviously ‘villains’.

When I think that Jordan, who is respected by the whole world at this time, is probably the "Tang Monk Meat" in the eyes of the Western All-Stars, Chen Xiao, Wade, Carter, McGrady, Iverson, Yao Ming and others are some Alexander.

Tonight, they are protecting and cooperating with Tang Seng's senior brothers, the second senior brothers and the third senior brothers.

"Chen, we must be prepared for a hard fight in this game!"

Thinking that this game will gradually become **** from such warmth, Chen Xiao nodded seriously.

Regarding the matter of protecting Jordan's face, the boss, Ben Wallace and other players are definitely not interested.

Only Wade, Iverson, Richard Jefferson, Tracy McGrady, Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and even Carter have no interest in protecting Jordan in this game.

This is something that everyone can clearly feel after contacting each other in the past few days.

Jordan's last game.

Everyone in the west wanted to leave some trace on Jordan.

If this game does not protect Jordan, I am afraid that at the end of the game, Joe's body will be covered with scars.

On the court side, after the two teams’ All-Star warm-ups, Chen Xiao and Wade sat on the bench with seven other Eastern Conference All-Star players.

On the court, McGrady, Jordan, Carter, Richard Jefferson, Yao Ming, O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Nash and other ten starters have already stood in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

Garnett beat Yao Ming with a jump ball, and the Western All-Star wearing a red jersey got the first chance of the game.

The first offense of the Western Conference All-Star went to Garnett, who had just won the jump ball.

Garnett faced Richard Jefferson's defense and made a two-pointer from the left.

2 to 0!

The Wolf King was in good condition tonight, and at the same time, Richard Jefferson faced Garnett and was simply sent.

Looking back, Jordan played in the middle of the shot with Kobe's defense.

O'Neal grabbed a backcourt rebound, Nash dribbled the ball and threw the ball to the basket from the three-point line. Duncan took it!

4 to 0!

If Richard Jefferson defended Garnett, it was sent.

Then Carter's defense of Duncan also sent.

Looking back, the Eastern side continued to play Jordan. This time, Jordan faced Kobe's singles and still played iron.

It was the turn of the West to attack again. Nash and Garnett passed the ball to Garnett behind the pick-and-roll in the horns, and Garnett made another hit.

6 to 0!

Chen Xiao and Wade on the sidelines, seeing the situation on the court at this time, their eyes protruded.

Is the gap so big? !

To be reasonable, both Chen Xiao and Wade know that the strength of the East and the West are quite different.

But to such an extent, the two of them still didn't expect it.

According to the situation of the two teams after the opening, if the West does not give the East a chance, they may actually have no chance at all.

Just when Chen Xiao and Wade were shocked by the strength of the Western Conference All-Stars, on the court, the Eastern Conference attacked again.

This time, McGrady didn't hit the ball into Jordan's hands.

If you continue to let Jordan go on singles, the game will be waste time.

So after half the dribble, McGrady faced Nash's defense and succeeded directly outside the arc top three-point line.

Nash's defense of McGrady is basically the same as the air.

6 to 3!

McGrady's three-point draft scored the first point for the Eastern Conference All-Stars tonight.

However, looking back, Nash returned the color. With the help of Duncan's pick and roll, Nash shook off Tracy McGrady's pursuit, and faced Carter's defense, hitting a two-pointer with a close-range horseback and archery.

8 to 3!

Once again it was the turn of the Eastern Conference to attack. McGrady passed the ball over to Jordan, who pulled it out to catch the ball, and he ran to the waist without the ball to prepare to catch the ball.

Jordan's defense against Kobe didn't make a strong fight, but instead dropped the ball to Tracy McGrady, who was on the left waist, and Tracy made a hook shot from the basket.

8 to 5!

On the other side, O'Neal caught the ball and played Yao Ming. After being interfered by Yao Ming, he hit the hook and hit the iron. Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound and scored twice.

10 to 5!

Less than three minutes have passed since the first quarter of the game.

But the strength of the East and West All-Star starting lineups is very obvious.

None of the offense from the West has ever been lost.

The east is supported by McGrady.

Such a game situation is obviously impossible to satisfy the Eastern Conference.

Whether the western side gives face or not depends on the western side itself.

On the eastern side, I also need to be a little bit stronger.

If you don't live up to it, even if the West is giving face, it's useless.

Therefore, less than three minutes into the game, the Eastern Conference made adjustments to the lineup on the court.

Carter and Richard Jefferson went off.

There is nothing to say about this.

Yao Ming definitely can't play, McGrady is in good shape, and Jordan certainly can't play.

Only Carter and Richard Jefferson can be adjusted.

The key is who is the player that needs to be replaced now.

After looking at the faces of Chen Xiao, Kidd and Iverson, the assassin chose Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao and O'Neal, substitute Richard Jefferson and Carter played.

The assassin chose Chen Xiao but did not choose the boss and Iverson.

The boss must have no opinion.

Originally, the assassin thought Iverson should have an opinion.

But Iverson seemed to have no opinion on this adjustment of the assassin.

The all-star rankings on seniority were very serious.

"It seems that Wonder Boy's heads-up victory in the All-Stars yesterday really boosted his status in the All-Stars."

Speaking of which, American basketball culture is really interesting.

As long as your singles are strong enough, you can get a very high status.

Regardless of whether coaches and scout reporters like you, but the players will definitely respect you.

For example, Chen Xiao knew that Carmelo Anthony, the super genius’ idol in high school, was a little brother named Jr Smith.

Not because of anything else, but because the little brother's singles is super amazing.

Known as the Jordan of American high school basketball!

Back to the game, after the Assassin replaced Chen Xiao and O'Neal, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Song on the sidelines were shocked.

In the previous game, Yao Ming played soy sauce on the court.

Apart from defending O'Neal on the defensive end, there is nothing on the offensive end.

The domestic audience expects the stars and the moon for this All-Star Game.

They don't want to watch Yao Ming turn back and run!

However, Yao Ming's status in the Eastern Conference All-Stars is indeed low.

On the offensive end, the boss can't get his turn until he is finished.

And when can McGrady and Jordan play?

Haha, it depends on their mood.

Therefore, it is not just Yao Ming who ran back and forth, Richard Jefferson, who was on the court before, did not get a chance to shoot, and he was still running back and forth.

After Chen Xiao played, Jordan mentioned the third position, and Chen Xiao was the second position.

The game restarted. McGrady held the ball and Chen Xiao made a pick-and-roll. Two guards with a naked height of 2 meters, a height of 2 meters 03 and a wingspan of more than 2.2 meters played the pick-and-roll. You can imagine this means for Kobe and Nash. What?

Nash knew that he could not defend Chen Xiao, so when McGrady was picking and rolling this time, Nash did not choose to change defense, but chose to flick McGrady, hoping to make McGrady unable to pass the ball through the flick.

This is a way of thinking, but obviously, in the face of Nash and Kobe's fangs and claws, McGrady held the ball with one hand and then threw it to the right to Chen Xiao who was running away from the 45-degree three-point line. Chen Xiao was outside the three-point line. Hand up the knife and hit the open three-pointer!

10 to 8!

Nash and Kobe's pick-and-roll strategy failed.

At the same time, Chen Xiao scored his first score in this game!

At the same time, this is also the first score of a Chinese player in the NBA All-Star Game!

"Chen Xiao and McGrady cooperate beautifully!"

"Meddie's pass is very beautiful, and Chen Xiao's shot is even more beautiful!"

After Chen Xiao hit his first All-Star point from outside the three-point line, McGrady, Jordan and Yao Ming all ran over and gave Chen Xiao a high-five for the first time.

Although O'Neal was a little late, he also gave a high-five to Chen Xiao to congratulate him.

Seeing Chen Xiao on TV, the Chinese audience in front of the TV was as excited as Teacher Zhang and Teacher Song on the scene.

To be reasonable, Yao Ming just turned there and ran for three minutes, neither Jordan nor McGrady did not pass the ball to Yao Ming.

This still worries many Chinese audiences in front of the TV and the teachers Zhang and Song on the scene.

What if no one passes the ball to Chen Xiao?

Obviously, their worries are unnecessary.

Perhaps, before yesterday, McGrady would not pass the ball to Chen Xiao in this situation.

After all, Nash is defending him.

He didn't need to pick and roll with Chen Xiao, let Chen Xiao go to fight Nash.

He can draw on his own, and beat Nash in front of 2-2.

But why did he choose to pick and roll with Chen Xiao and give Chen Xiao the chance to beat Nash?

Of course it is because in McGrady's heart, he believes that Chen Xiao's work is stronger than him!

No kidding, in McGrady's heart now, Chen Xiao's three-point play is stronger than him.

Not only McGrady, but Nash also thinks so.

Otherwise, Nash will not give up Chen Xiao to pinch McGrady to prevent McGrady from passing the ball.

Because in Nash’s mind, as long as McGrady’s pass is successful, he will send it to McGrady and even to Chen Xiao. It’s better to gamble and flick McGrady. Maybe McGrady can’t pass the ball out, so he still has a chance. .

As a rookie All-Star, Chen Xiao should have been a supporting role in this arena, but yesterday's All-Star singles singled out made him a very special force for the Eastern All-Stars in one fell swoop.

I have to say that the heads-up contest launched by the Kobe Kobe boss yesterday really brought too much to Chen Xiao.

Because of the collective blockade of the NBA All-Stars and the official intervention of the NBA, the video of the singles within the All-Stars did not flow out.

but…

I won’t talk about those system rewards.

The status of Chen Xiao's team has really improved visible to the naked eye.

Even after this heads-up contest, McGrady, Kobe, Iverson and Carter really recognized Chen Xiao as one of the'top five guards' just like them.

Regardless of whether Chen Xiao is a role player or not, at least, his heads-up ability has earned him the status of a big shot.

So, off the court, watching McGrady and Jordan enthusiastically high-five with Chen Xiao on the court, Wade is very envious.

In yesterday's heads-up contest, he was killed by Kobe in the first round.

On the court, in the West attack, Nash was uncomfortable on the defensive end, although McGrady and Chen Xiao took turns.

But on the offensive end, this Mavericks guard is like a bug.

Almost the same goes for the same pick-and-roll, Nash and Garnett’s pick-and-roll, after switching Jordan in front of him, a fake fax suddenly deceived Jordan and also deceived O’Neal.

After O'Neal helped Nash block Yao Ming's defense, Nash made an easy layup.

This spiritual breakthrough is nothing short of a show!

12 to 8!

However, looking back, the east side is continuing to play Nash.

No way, the other players in the West are too difficult to play!

O'Neill, Garnett, Duncan, Kobe...

Is this something human can fight?

Jordan played Kobe twice in a row at the opening, and then two consecutive irons!

Yao Ming and Richard Jefferson ran back three times and didn't get any chance, not only because of their low status, but also because Jordan and McGrady didn't believe they could beat O'Neal, Duncan and Garnett.

So, let alone Yao Ming and Richard Jefferson, Carter was also doing a return run before.

Others can't fight, so of course it is to catch Nashmon!

This time, it was McGrady and Chen Xiao's pick and roll.

But this time, Nash didn't try to pincer McGrady, but honestly changed his position in front of Chen Xiao and let Chen Xiao shoot.

Nash was working **** defense, and he posted it directly before McGrady scored the ball. However, Chen Xiao's light and dark hitting directly knocked off Nash, received McGrady's pass, and made a three-pointer again!

Although Nash was knocked off, he still rushed, but he didn't have any defensive effect at all.

Brush!

Three points hit again!

12 to 11!

After Chen Xiao hit two three-pointers in the East, the score was only one point away.

Although there is a huge gap between the overall strength of the Eastern and Western All-Stars.

But after Chen Xiao and O'Neal played, the situation in the East was still changed.

At least, the score of this game is not one-sided.

"The pick-and-roll between McGrady and Wonder Boy is really strong!"

"The offense of the two teams played really well in this game!"

On the side of the court, as ordinary spectators, James, Anthony and Paul secretly admired.

It can be seen from the opening of this game that although the two teams may not go all out, they are also playing seriously.

In the case of serious play, the efficiency of the two teams is still so high, it can only be said that both teams have their own areas of expertise.

The inside advantage of the west and the outside advantage of the east.

At the same time, the pick-and-roll between McGrady and Chen Xiao really made them feel incredible!

The power of these two pick-and-rolls at the guard position is simply infinite!

Especially James.

Whether he was looking at Chen Xiao or McGrady, he was greedy.

It would be great if he was the one who was the pick and roll with me!

On the sidelines, James watched McGrady and Chen Xiao's pick and roll greedy.

In fact, at this time, whether it is a professional on-site or a professional in front of the TV, seeing Chen Xiao and McGrady's pick-and-roll, in fact, their eyes are constantly brightening.

Especially the head coach of the Magic Doogries.

"If Chen is traded to magic, TMC will have a perfect Pippen!"

"No, Chen can become Larry Bird by TMC!"

The combination of Jordan and Larry Bird!

Dou Grievous felt that this idea was really crazy.

However, Chen Xiao is indeed a perfect choice for him.

Fits with McGrady, and is his junior, direct line!

However, if you let Kee boss and Nets coach Byron Scott know that Dou Grievous's ideas must be disdainful.

It seems that Chen Xiao is not suitable for us.

I have to say that in this All-Star game, seeing McGrady and Chen Xiao's pick-and-roll, many NBA coaches have a lot of ideas.

For example, at this time because of the vigorous and exhausted Bucks coach George Carr played in the soap opera with Ray Allen.

For him and the Bucks, Chen Xiao is definitely a very good choice.

Born in Marquette University, Milwaukee owns.

It can work so well with McGrady, and there is no problem with Michael Reid.

"If you can't beat this kid, let him join us!"

George Carr's eyes flickered.

On the court, the game between the two sides continued.

Chen Xiao and McGrady's pick-and-roll successfully helped the East to reverse the situation.

20 to 20!

When half of the first quarter of the game was finished, the two sides tied and the official timeout was suspended.

Both teams have replaced their respective substitute players.

In the Eastern Conference, except for Xiao Ao and Chen Xiao who are still on the court, Yao Ming, Jordan and Tracy McGrady are all off the court, and the players replaced are Iverson, Ben and Kidd.

On the west side, all the starting five were off the court. The players who came up were Karl Malone, Nowitzki, Peja, Francis and Marbury.

In the second half of the first quarter, both teams played in a mess, mainly because the two teams' bench All-Star appearances during this period.

The cooperation is not very good.

However, although the coordination is not good, but at the same time, the defense of the two teams is basically gone, so scoring has become easier.

The players of the two teams are basically not defensive. Although Big Ben is defensively, he doesn't stretch out his hands. You let him defend the ball?

After two minutes of playing, Martin was replaced by Martin.

At the same time, the boss of Ji was replaced, and the boss of Ji was replaced by Wade.

Obviously, the boss and Wallace didn't want to play this game.

However, the combination of Iverson, Wade and Chen Xiao Martin Xiaoao is very good behind, suppressing the bench combination in the West.

So at the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was instead leading the Eastern Conference.

41 to 38!

The Eastern Conference led by 3 points in the first quarter.

Among them, Chen Xiao made 5 of 6 in the first quarter, 4 of 5 on three-pointers, played 9 minutes and scored a game-high 16 points.

In the first quarter, Chen Xiao played very well. He played Nash in the front and Marbury in the back. Nash was still serious, but it was useless. Marbury simply attacked and not defended. Chen Xiao just threw air behind him.

Basically, there was no one defending him in the first quarter, so he practiced open shots there and directly brushed up the score.

Contrary to Chen Xiao's comfort in the first quarter, Jordan scored zero in the first quarter.

The protagonist of the NBA All-Star is uncomfortable being defended by Kobe.

Originally, Jordan could surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the player with the most total points in the All-Star tonight.

It now seems that the western side really does not intend to make Jordan do what he wants.

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao and the five of them played on the court for another three minutes.

Chen Xiao and the five of them succeeded in widening the difference again.

55 to 48!

The Eastern Conference extended its lead to 7 points, while Chen Xiao made 2 of 3 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throw, adding another 7 points.

However, three minutes later, the starting players of both sides are playing again.

Chen Xiao and Wade and Oscar were replaced, and the court became Yao Ming, Martin, Tracy McGrady, Jordan and Iverson.

The western side has become O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe and Francis.

Nash, a defensive player with partial loopholes, was replaced by Francis.

The defense of the West has risen in an instant and is more than a grade.

At the same time, on the eastern side, the main point of attack has once again become Jordan.

In this game, the West tried their best to prevent Jordan, the Tang Seng, from scoring, but the East side definitely wanted to push Jordan's scoring up.

At least, it must get 10 points.

Therefore, no matter how big the defense is against Jordan, no matter how low the shooting percentage is, it still needs to be played.

Therefore, after the second quarter came up, Jordan God really saw who beat whom!

Francis, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, and even O'Neal did not let it go!

Although the efficiency is still bad, the score is slowly rising.

After the first half, Jordan was 5 of 15 and successfully scored 10 points, becoming the player with the most total points in the history of the NBA All-Star.

At the same time, the Eastern Conference also used up the lead that Chen Xiao had taken by the end of the half.

Therefore, at the end of halftime, Jordan, who came off the court, hugged Chen Xiao, the expression on his face was a bit embarrassing.

Jordan faced the Western Conference's hard hit in this game, which was very embarrassing.

Except that the movements are still beautiful and picturesque, he doesn't seem to be able to see the aura of the gods. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

However, during the intermission, when Maria Kelly sang the song "Hero" affectionately, the other 23 All-Star players and more than 20,000 fans stood up with minutes of applause. One of the greatest players in American history pays the highest respect.

His strength is no longer the **** who controls the audience, but he is still the greatest NBA player!

Standing in the middle circle, making a farewell speech, tearful Jordan expressed his gratitude to his teammates, opponents, fans and his family.

He also said that he has given basketball to better players, just like he inherited from other predecessors, he can now go home with peace of mind.

"It's so hard to leave."

"But so many stars are still on the court, so many stars are rising. I have passed the torch passed to me by Dr. J and the Magician and Bird to the All-Stars and other NBA players here."

"From now on, the NBA will belong to you, children, chase your greatness and become a hero of the world!"

When Jordan finally yelled these words, the young players such as Chen Xiao, Wade and Yao Ming next to him were full of enthusiasm.

While Kobe, Karl Malone, O'Neal and other players have their eyes gleaming.

You can leave.

But, Michael, leave what we need first!

"I want to kill him!"

"Lamb!"

"Now, God can't save you!"
