Chapter 379 All our greatness will be forgotten by time!
"Yeah, they're here anyway."
Zhou Si thought.
Moreover, thinking of the cheers from the audience when he played just now and the expectations of the fans in front of the TV, Zhou Si felt that the All-Star should play more seriously.
As for the MVP, let it be.
After the warm-up ended, the starters from the East and the West appeared one after another in the eyes of the fans looking forward to it.
East side: Rose, Wade, James, Pickle and Melo.
West side: Lillard, Curry, Kobe, Zhou Si, Durant.
In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley couldn't help complaining:
"Now the big men are really getting weaker and weaker. Let alone the center, there is not even a serious power forward among the All-Star starters."
Kenny Smith and O'Neal nodded again and again. The current center is really withered.
In the small ball era, the most pitiful thing is the center.
"Now there is a saying on the Internet called Xiaoqian Shengshi. If Kobe is counted as the second position in the starting lineup, the other five are the third position."
O'Neill spread his hands and said.
In the small ball era, the confrontation at the third position has become the main theme of the league.
Kenny Smith, who was born as a point guard, couldn't help retorting:
"I think it's okay to be called the point guard.
More small forwards just take advantage of the game system.
Rose, Paul, Curry, Lillard, Westbrook, Wall, Irving, Rondo, and the injured Rubio are all worthy of the All-Star starters, okay? "
On the court, "23" VS "24" was officially staged, and Kobe beat James to win the jump ball.
There were bursts of cheers at the scene. There was no center forward, and this game was also very interesting.
Curry received a pass from Kobe and made an exaggerated and aggressive dribble behind his back and dribbled the ball across the air and across half court.
"Curry is also very excited today!"
Director Zhang explained.
"Yes, he looks very happy. I remember reading the report before. Curry went to watch Kobe play when he was young. He really grew up watching Kobe play."
Kovan added.
On the court, Curry was a little unbelieving and passed the ball to Kobe.
After Kobe took the ball, he watched the juniors who were stretched apart wryly smiled and shook their heads.
With Kobe retiring this season, the wind direction of the entire league has changed. In the past, the media asked Kobe to pass more and make reasonable shots.
Now the media has been talking about Kobe not passing the ball and attacking more.
James, who was defending Kobe, also seemed very excited. He slapped his hands on the floor with a smile and motioned for Kobe to attack.
"23" VS "24" has been speculated in the league for a long time, but in fact, the two only met once in the playoffs, and the anger between them can be said to be very small.
Coupled with James' personality, he has actually maintained a good relationship with Kobe.
Kobe looked at James' style and couldn't help turning over like a picture and throwing a jumper.
He said he didn't want Curry to pass the ball, but Kobe's body was still very honest.
"Shh-!"
Basketball hit the net.
James obviously didn't take the ball seriously.
2: 0!
Bryant opened the scoring for the West.
When Kobe turned around, he couldn't help but smirked and pointed Curry with his finger.
Stephen also learned badly.
Looking back, the first offense in the East.
Rose dribbled the ball through half court and still maintained his usual low-key style and handed over the basketball to James...James.
James directly made a strong two-handed pass to Wade who cut into the penalty area.
"Hey, Jane Wei is connected, long time no see!"
Ke Fan called out.
Wade, who broke into the penalty area, did not take advantage of the attack, but jumped up and gave the ball to the vacant Melo on the left corner!
"boom--!"
Melon's shot missed directly, and Curry protected the backcourt rebound.
This season Melon has a bit of a tendency to develop into a bitter melon. Not only is the defense more and more serious, but the offense is also ineffective. The scoring average has dropped to 22.4 points per game, and the three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 33.3%.
The Knicks' poor record this season has something to do with his state.
After Curry grabbed the rebound, he dribbled the ball behind the two in a row and then threw the ball high to Zhou Si, who was at the front.
"Xiao Zhou!"
Director Zhang couldn't help but raise the volume!
James, who retreated the fastest in the East, hesitated for a while, but didn't go up to really defend.
One is that there is no need for such a high competition intensity at the beginning of the game, and the other is...
He was afraid that he would become the background board!
Zhou Si didn't think too much, and just twisted his body and took off!
Spin, stay in the air, draw the bow!
"Bangdang-!"
"Wow! The second attack in the West, Zhou Si's 360° turn and dunk!"
"Wow!"
"Brilliant!"
The audience exclaimed again and again!
Originally, many fans thought that LaVine must be the strongest dunk king in active service, but Zhou Si's dunk suddenly reminded them of LaVine and their fear of being ruled by Zhou Si last year.
If this demon god doesn't nod his head, no one dares to say that he is number one!
On the TNT commentary seat, O'Neill frowned and muttered to himself in doubt:
"Why do I feel that this ball is a bit like Kobe?"
In fact, O'Neal really didn't make a mistake, Zhou Si's ball was indeed a tribute to Kobe.
In the early days of his career, Kobe's iconic move was not a picturesque turnaround jumper, but the explosive power of flying away like the wind, and all kinds of explosive dunks!
In the NBA, fans always remember the last label of a star.
For example, Jordan's fadeaway jumper in his later years is famous all over the world, and many people don't even know his invincible bottom line turnaround early in his career;
For another example, my dry pull-up jump shot is a must, so my ultra-fast first step, back body and forward change are all forgotten.
Therefore, the current fans only remember Duncan's stability and 45° angle rebound shooting, only remember Nowitzki's golden rooster independence, but forget Duncan's early years of flying into the sky and the way the old driver scored without dead ends.
As Larry Bird said:
"All our greatness will be forgotten by time!"
On the court, the game continued, and the Eastern All-Stars were not to be outdone. Rose scored a sudden point to Wade who followed up with an air cut. Wade did not attack the frame, but threw the basketball into the air again!
"Bangdang-!"
James followed up and slammed the basketball into the basket!
Janeway is connected, it's done!
4: 2!
"Haha, the east side is also playing!"
The Western All-Star quickly served the ball, and Curry passed the ball across the court to Kobe.
Kobe stabilized the ball and didn't make a shot.
"Oh, good opportunity, it can be shot."
Director Zhang explained anxiously.
Just now Rose was still one step away from Kobe, in Director Zhang's opinion, this is a big vacancy!
Facing Rose's defense, Kobe defended the ball with his back.
Watching Zhou Si make a quick cut, Kobe gave the ball directly without looking at the pass!
Zhou Si made an emergency stop, then forcibly turned back and made a hit!
After Kobe saw it, he nodded a few times to the smirking Zhou Si.
Brat, is this a tribute to me?
I haven't retired yet!
