NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal: Chapter 1098 Lived up to expectations, Jokic scored a lore with 1 hit!
"The beginning of the NBA draws O'Neal in his old age"
In the third quarter of the game, the two sides completely boomed!
Just relying on the trick of breaking points, Westbrook's assist data has skyrocketed.
Whether it is Harden or Leonard, or Jokic and Wang Zelin, they all have good three-point capabilities. The two sides did not defend much in the first three quarters of the All-Star Game. Dare to enter.
The Eastern team was not slow to react. After belatedly realizing that the Western team had started to get serious, they also increased the intensity of the game.
The All-Star game, even if it hasn't reached the point of real swords and guns, just emits a little bit of gunpowder, and the viewing quality has ushered in a qualitative improvement, and the fans are completely watching it.
At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams came to 145:131.
At this time, Wang Zelin had put away his laughter, and the expressions of Westbrook, Harden and other Western team teammates also became serious.
On the Eastern side, Stevens took a look at the score and picked up the tactical board seriously.
Although this is the independent field of the West, this is the first time in his career as the coach of the East Star Team, and he naturally hopes to have a happy ending.
The moment of decisive battle is about to start!
During the intermission, the base team coach Terry Stotts glanced at Wang Zelin, then at Durant, and finally ignored the latter, picked up the tactical board, and called the players to come to him to arrange the final tactics.
Du Xiaoshuai had a miserable life today, not to mention that he didn't get a few minutes of playing time, and Wang Zelin, James, George, and Leonard all stole the limelight.
Even a rookie can step on him now.
After hesitating for a while, Durant gritted his teeth, stood up abruptly, and left the field early.
"???"
The fans in the stands were bewildered.
The game hasn't finished yet, why did you leave in such a hurry?
The surrounding Western stars were also a little surprised, no one expected Durant to play such a game on such an important occasion.
In fact, Durant's temper is sometimes very confusing. He always likes to compete with you on some unimportant things. When he gets angry, even if he knows that doing so is not good for him, he still I chose the method with the most barrage to fight back.
No, the audiences of American local TV stations, domestic TV stations and Fujixun Sports were all stunned at the moment.
In contrast, the media were going crazy with joy.
The moment Durant got up to leave, they had their postgame headline in mind:
"The western star team is suspected of internal strife? Kevin Durant is dissatisfied with the crowding out and leaves the team brazenly!"
Of course, the premise is that the Western Stars will eventually lose to the Eastern Stars, and they will vigorously promote this matter.
If the West Stars win in the end, there's no need to write a lot about it.
After all, the winner takes all is always the nba's only rule!
On the West bench, Durant's exit only caused a brief sensation, and the players quickly returned to coach Terry.
In the end, Coach Terry decided to send Curry, Thompson, Hayward, Love, and Jokic in the fourth quarter.
The Western team is still 14 points ahead of the Eastern team. Anyway, it is the annual All-Star stage. Even if Wang Zelin plays Jokic tonight to compete for the mvp, he still has to divide the cake evenly.
Other western stars have more or less been allocated some playing time, at least on the bright side, it can be justified.
The Eastern team also made substitutions, sending out a wonderful three-guard lineup of Thomas Jr., Wall, Wade, Antetokounmpo, and Cousins. Obviously, the opposite side is also sharing the cake.
Thomas Jr. and Wall are still very motivated in the game. Both of them hope to see the Eastern Conference win in the end. Stevens is very relieved to play these two.
…
In the fourth quarter of the game, the defensive intensity of both sides increased suddenly at the beginning.
However, the Eastern team played better. The reason is very simple. Both Thomas Jr. and Wall are players who break through the normal. They have been on the bench for a long time in the second half. come out.
On the west side, the Splash Brothers and Hayward, who had just played on the field, were frightened by the basket protection of Antetokounmpo and Cousins, and chose more long-range shots from the outside.
Today they also made a cold bench for a long time, not only the buttocks are cold, but also the hand feels cold.
As we all know, if a shooter wants to maintain a good feel for a long time, he must constantly touch the ball. The three of them who have not touched the ball for more than ten minutes suddenly start to wave after they play, and naturally there will be a bang.
So much so that Coach Terry suddenly felt, are the three brothers playing themselves?
Or is it that they don't want to see the Western Conference win, and they don't want to see Jokic get the mvp...
The inside combination of Love and Jokic has mediocre mobility, and it was directly sieved by the three guards of the Eastern team, and it also made the Eastern team frequently fight back in fast breaks.
"The situation in the West is not good!" Barkley commented.
"Continue to let the East continue to fight like this, and the situation will be overturned." Smith continued.
Coach Terry also saw the problem, and either changed to a lineup with both offense and defense in the third quarter, or bet that Curry, Thompson, and Hayward's touch could recover.
This problem is not difficult to solve, because the yelling and scolding of the fans at the scene has helped Coach Terry make a choice, so just after halfway through the fourth quarter, he replaced the Splash Brothers, Hayward, and Love, In exchange for Westbrook, Harden, Leonard, and Wang Zelin.
At this time, the Eastern team has already surpassed the score, scoring 31 points in just 6 minutes, and the score in this game has reached 162.
On the other hand, the Western team's offensive efficiency was extremely low in the first 6 minutes. The team's 5 players added only 11 points.
At 162:156, the Eastern team has overtaken by 5 points.
As soon as the four of them came back, Jokic burst into tears.
Finally, I don't have to do the hard work of running back and forth. He's just a kid who weighs less than 300 pounds, so why bother him so much?
However, during this period of time, Jokic was also a blessing in disguise. Although the assist data has stopped at 9 for a long time, his points and rebounds have improved a lot.
Especially the rebounds, thanks to the Splash Brothers and Hayward's triathlon performance, Jokic picked up 5 rebounds in 6 minutes, and his personal rebound data reached a terrifying 17 tonight.
His personal data has already scored 28 points, 17 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. There is still half a quarter before the end of the game. He is very likely to achieve a large triple-double of 30+20+10.
For a rookie who was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time, such a result is undoubtedly against the sky, and he is fully capable of competing for the strongest All-Star debut in history.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Stevens saw the trick, and the Eastern team also changed back to the lineup in the third quarter.
Since everyone wants to win, let's give it a real fight!
On the field, the western team attacked first.
As soon as Wang Zelin came to the West, it seemed that he had found the backbone. Westbrook was already a little over the top, and the little thoughts during the intermission had long since disappeared.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: to win the game!
This is Westbrook, a lovely guy who can always remain pure and original on the court.
The same is true for Harden. As the defensive intensity continues to rise, he has gradually become angry after repeated collisions with George and James, and his game concentration and desire for victory have skyrocketed.
With the last three minutes to play, the Western Conference team was only 2 points behind at 175:177.
Stevens hastily asked for a timeout, replaced Irving, who had fallen into endless singles due to his superiority in the past three minutes, and took..."Flash" Wade!
This move immediately aroused heated discussions among the audience, and even James looked at Stevens with a strange look in his eyes.
Wade and Irving are equivalent to James' old wife and new lover. At this time, the new lover is replaced and the old wife is welcomed back. The complicated position may only be clear to the parties concerned.
James really wants to ask: Did you do it on purpose or by accident?
Regarding the hot discussion at the scene, Stevens remained calm. After arranging a substitution, he sat back in his seat and crossed his legs leisurely.
The last three minutes.
The struggle of the players on the field became more intense. Everyone let go of their small thoughts and devoted themselves to the game.
So Wang Zelin turned into a rebounding idiot, constantly dominating the front and back rebounds, allowing his teammates to get more offensive opportunities and overtaking the score in one fell swoop.
On the sidelines, "Sister Widow" Scarlett Johansson stood up and jumped up and down, cheering for Wang Zelin. A pair of bright car lights blinded the eyes of countless male fans around.
Thanks to Durant's early departure, if he witnessed the goddess doing such a crazy move for his enemy, I'm afraid he would be even more envious and jealous.
At 181:180, the two teams each had two offensive strikes. In the last 28 seconds, no one expected that Antetokounmpo would suddenly go from the basket to the outside to cover, and then received a breakthrough three-pointer from James. shot.
Wang Zelin was a little unexpected, because in his impression, Antetokounmpo has never been a player who is good at shooting three-pointers. Even the three-pointers of Antetokounmpo in his heyday in the future are not very reliable, and he is often used by other teams. The defender goes wide.
Therefore, he didn't choose to defend outside at the first time, but rushed to the basket, ready to grab the rebound.
However…
"Shua—!"
A cloud-piercing arrow shot through the basket of the Western team.
183:181!
With Antetokounmpo's key three-pointer, the Eastern team re-overtook the score at the last moment, and now leads the Western team by two points. Next, they only need to defend against a three-pointer on the opposite side, and they are likely to win this weight level match victory.
Without any hesitation, Coach Terry stood up decisively and requested a timeout the second after Antetokounmpo scored a three-pointer.
The fans in the Rose Garden arena got excited instantly. They didn't expect that this year's All-Star Game could go to the last moment. Who will perform the final attack for the Western Conference stars?
The answer is of course: Wang Zelin!
Wang Zelin, recognized as the No. 1 player in active service, after entering the NBA, in just four seasons, he has achieved the accumulation of honors that many NBA stars can hardly get their hands on in their lifetime.
Westbrook and Harden's arrangements for Coach Terry also have no meaning.
Up to now, Westbrook has achieved a super quasi triple-double of 35 points, 8 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, which is only slightly worse than Jokic's luxurious triple-double of 31 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists.
It's not that he was the one who executed the key ball at the end, and he happened to hit the key overtake ball, then he is very likely to become the All-Star mvp after winning tonight.
But as mentioned earlier, Westbrook is actually a very pure person.
Wang Zelin is better than himself. This is a fact that no one can change, so Westbrook has never said a word about the coach's arrangement.
At this moment, he had a vague premonition in his heart that the next key anti-overtake goal would definitely be hit by the Western team, and the Western team would eventually win tonight's game.
This is a strong premonition deep in his heart, mainly stemming from his cognition of Wang Zelin's terrifying strength.
Only players who have actually played against Blazers No. 36 can understand what kind of terrifying existence that guy is.
The fans in front of the TV also became nervous, and a suffocating and depressing atmosphere permeated the Rose Garden Arena.
In order to relieve the pressure in their hearts, many fans chose to stand up and watch the game.
After the timeout ends, players from both teams will enter the field.
The western team sent the bottom line ball, Wang Zelin received the pass from Westbrook in the high position, and subconsciously made a three-threat.
It was none other than Davis of the same class who was guarding Wang Zelin. He had put his all into his defense. Although his strength and size were not as good as Wang Zelin's, his long arm still made Wang Zelin afraid.
But it's just fear, he is not afraid of Davis' single defense.
Looking at today's league, no one has long been able to restrain Wang Zelin in one-on-one defense.
Davis knows this very well, and Stevens knows this very well, so... when the 24-second offensive time quietly passed halfway and entered the final 10-second countdown, Antetokounmpo decisively left Jokic behind and rushed over to meet Dai Weiss double-teamed Wang Zelin together.
The fans in the Rose Garden Arena were all shocked. They didn't expect that the Eastern team's double-teaming at the last moment would be so bold.
For a while, Wang Zelin was trapped between the two and couldn't move, so he could barely protect the basketball.
In times of crisis, the younger brother Jokic came to the rescue: If you dare to let me go, then be prepared to pay a painful price!
Jokic first mentioned the high pick-and-roll~www.mtlnovel.com~Wang Zelin used the cover to stride into the inside line.
Looking at the momentum, it seems that they are aiming at equalizing the score.
This made Stevens breathe a sigh of relief, but it also disappointed the fans on the sidelines. They all thought that Wang Zelin would shoot the lore.
Antetokounmpo and Davis followed up quickly, and James, who was looking at Harden from the left corner, also burst out with a speed far beyond what a thirty-year-old man should have, and rushed to the basket.
Attack from three sides!
Some more emotional fans have already covered their eyes, feeling very disturbed and afraid to watch the final result of this ball.
In an instant, Wang Zelin was covered in a burly man. Just when everyone thought he was going to force him, they saw him leaping high, and suddenly turned his head and swung at the moon.
James: "..."
Why do you feel that this scene is a bit familiar?
But then, he immediately thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked outside.
At this time, after the high pick-and-roll, Jokic was standing alone on the free throw line at the top of the arc, with no defender three meters away in front of him.
After receiving the pass back from Wang Zelin, Yue Jiqi glanced at his watch, and there were only 2 seconds left... It was enough!
Bend your knees, kick the ground, raise your hands, shake your wrists!
The last goal of the Western All-Stars, a three-pointer at the buzzer from Nikola Jokic!
Jokic shot confidently, and the arc of the basketball flight was just as he expected, and fell steadily into the basket.
"Shua—!"
184:183, Jokic lived up to Wang Zelin's expectations and hit a lore!
The Rose Garden Arena exploded again!
