Chapter 527 The Best of Times, the Greatest of Times!
"Yes, what did you just say to Howard?"
"Said nothing."
Say nothing?
Anthony was stunned for a moment, it shouldn't be, the expression on that guy's face when he left just now didn't look like this.
Anthony looked at the Eastern Conference All-Stars opposite. The Eastern Conference All-Stars seemed to be consciously isolating Howard.
But this is normal.
Howard is a recognized friend of yes in the league, and even Jordan would dare to fight for yes.
And when Quexin realized that Jordan was right next to him, he immediately attacked him.
This is the first time in NBA history.
Since Jordan became the greatest player in NBA history, who dares to do such a thing to Jordan.
"Yes is Superman, Superman is yes!"
This guy really dares to think, really dares to say, and really dares to do.
If this guy isn't really incredibly loyal to yes, he is just like O'Neal, who can show off his professed loyalty just to show off.
Regardless of whether this guy is really extremely loyal to yes or just showing off his loyalty to yes, it seems that the Eastern Conference All-Stars no longer believe in the player who ousted O'Neal from the starting center position this year.
Anthony can certainly understand the thoughts of the current Eastern Conference All-Stars. After all, he was an undercover agent last year.
The Eastern and Western All-Star warm-ups were over, and the starting players of the two teams were standing in the center circle preparing for a jump ball. The bald referee on duty, Crawford, was already standing in the middle of the two teams.
The starting lineup of the Eastern Conference All-Stars for this game is center Howard, power forward Garnett, small forward James, shooting guard Arenas, and point guard Sun Yue.
The starting lineup for the Western Conference is center Yao Ming, power forward Yi Jianlian, small forward Durant, shooting guard Roy, and point guard Ye Si.
Judging from the starting lineups of the two teams,
The east is obviously stronger than the west.
After all, according to expert media, the Eastern side has a veritable starting four, while the Western side only has three. Yi Jianlian and Durant are here to make up the numbers.
Looking at Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue on the court, the Chinese commentators Su Qun and Zhang Lili were very excited.
"This is a historic moment!"
"For the first time in NBA history, there are four Chinese starting All-Stars!"
"For the first time in the history of the NBA, four foreign players have become the starting players of the same NBA class!"
"Congratulations to Ye Si, congratulations to Yao Ming, congratulations to Yi Jianlian, and congratulations to Sun Yue. They have created history for Chinese basketball!"
"When Ye Si, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue stand on the court at the same time, every Chinese basketball fan will look forward to the Beijing Olympics half a year later. What results will the Chinese team achieve under the leadership of these four All-Star starters? !”
"This is the best era for Chinese basketball and the greatest era!"
This is the best era for Chinese basketball and the greatest era!
These are the words of teacher Zhang Liji, no matter how controversial the world is now about Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue entering the All-Star starting lineup.
Now these two people have indeed stood together with Ye Si and Yao Ming and made history.
Half a month before the start of this year's All-Star Game, fans in China were already looking forward to this game and this scene.
Four Chinese players collectively stand in the starting lineup of the NBA All-Star Game. This scene, this photo, will become the front page of all media around the world tomorrow.
Regarding the same scene, Zhang Lili and Su Qun were excited when they saw it, and the Chinese reporters in the media gallery on the sidelines were happy when they saw it, but other commentators and reporters were not like that.
Even the on-site broadcast director, except for the four of them, now all the shots are on Iverson, Wade, O'Neal, Kobe, Nash, Duncan and others.
The voice in this shot is very clear.
After O'Neal was defeated by Yao Ming in the West, he was defeated for the first time in the East.
O'Neal, who appeared on the camera, did not hide the displeasure on his face at all. This was of course dissatisfaction with Howard.
Being defeated by Yao Ming, he was not that unhappy with Yao Ming because Yao Ming is an honest person. In the 2004 All-Star Game, Yao Ming had a great chance to win the MVP, but in the end he selflessly gave up his playing time to him. The MVP was also given to him. You know, in 2004, he defeated Kobe Bryant!
For this matter, even if Yao Ming steals his starting position 10,000 times, he is willing to do so.
But Howard, this kid, really doesn't have any respect for him. Last year's All-Star selection, Howard, this kid, used all kinds of tricks on him. Fortunately, he hugged Yes's thigh.
What about this year? This guy Howard, after cleverly discovering this, really hugged him more shamelessly than him!
Even if he keeps showing off his poor Chinese when being interviewed by the Chinese media, he still says something disgusting every time when being interviewed by the Chinese media: "Yes is my brother. If there is still one person in this world who is right Yes is loyal, then this person is not Rondo, not Durant, not Milicic, it is me, Dwight Howard, yes is as important in my heart as Orlando!"
“I don’t have the colors of the rainbow on me.”
This is so shameless!
Just show your loyalty, what does it mean to blackmail me?
What do you mean my body won’t appear in rainbow colors? You are a shame on your shark daddy!
When it comes to the slam dunk contest, it becomes even more shameless. Shouting "yes is Superman, Superman is yes!" in front of Jordan. Isn't this just preparation for voting in next year's All-Star Game?
This guy doesn't have a high IQ, is greedy for small gains and forgets his righteousness, but he is very clever!
If I were really bitten by this kid, it would be really disgusting and painful.
In front of the camera, O'Neal did not hide his displeasure with Howard at all, while Iverson and Wade beside him were livid.
Although there is no specific target for their expressions, everyone knows who they are for.
Arenas stole the starting lineup. Let's face it, Arenas is one of the best defenders in the league this year.
But if he was robbed by Sun Yue... it would be really uncomfortable.
What's even more uncomfortable is that even if they are unhappy, they still have to hold it in. As long as the NBA All-Star voting rules are not what they should be, who would dare to blatantly offend Chinese players?
What if you don’t want to be the starter in the future?
There is a lot of focus and hot spots in this All-Star game. The on-site broadcast director is still creating hot points of conflict. The Eastern Conference All-Stars and the substitute All-Stars sitting below are giving them a lot of face.
But here in the west, there is not so much face.
Duncan was in the air as he thought about the presence of the old god, and his eyes didn't know where he was looking.
McGrady even sat next to Kobe and stood applauding Durant.
Well, this person is his fan, the kind of die-hard one. Being a die-hard fan standing in the starting position of the All-Star Game seems to be quite a prestigious thing.
And what about Kobe?
Kobe's eyes were looking toward the Eastern Conference bench the entire time.
Regardless of whether Kobe's eyes could see the Eastern Conference bench or not, the whole world knew who Kobe was looking at.
Shark O'Neal!
As long as that damn fat guy isn't the starter, there's nothing wrong with him being a substitute.
Even if you find an opportunity to go up and down with that damn fat guy, and ride that damn fat guy, it might be even more exciting!
Just the thought of riding that damn fat man made Kobe's eyes become even more intense.
Regardless of whether you can do it or not, just thinking about it makes people feel comfortable!
During the interval between the start of the All-Star Game, commentators all over the world were using their own voices to provide various explanations for the upcoming focus battle.
Their languages are different, but there is no doubt that their focus is the same, which is the No. 9 guard standing in the backcourt of the Western Conference in the center of the court, yes!
Game start!
When the bald referee on duty, Crawford, threw the basketball high into the air, Howard and Yao Ming jumped high.
As one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the world of jumpball, Howard's status in the world of jumpball is that of "no one can compete with the emperor".
Seeing Howard knocking away the basketball that seemed to be at the highest position in the air with a 'biu' like a flying monkey, Yao Ming's eyes widened in the air.
This is not the first time he has jumped the ball with Howard, but... this is really shocking every time!
This guy's physical fitness is truly a beast!
Fortunately, this kid's butt is small and not strong enough, otherwise, he would be really invincible!
As a point guard, Sun Yue is supposed to catch Howard's jump ball, but now the person standing in the receiving position is Arenas.
Sun Yue had no motivation to catch the ball.
Now standing on the All-Star stage, Sun Yue felt that his legs were shaking.
When he first came to participate in the NBA draft, he just wanted to enter the NBA, and he could enter if he was undrafted. He never expected to become a combination of Magic + Pippen, and he was lucky enough to become the first round.
After entering the NBA, he really didn't think about how much time he would have. Others don't know how Magic + Pippen works. How can he not know it himself?
However, this guy actually became an All-Star starter.
It's really exciting to have a pie constantly falling from the sky, but not so many people dare to eat this pie!
The first attack of the Eastern All-Stars was initiated by Arenas.
In last season's All-Star game, Arias was still James' supporting role.
Now Arenas has become the absolute protagonist of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
The amazing battle between the Wizards and the SuperSonics this season, the legendary battle that started Yes' ten consecutive game wins, is still at the top of YouTube's weekly charts.
Arenas's popularity and strength now make him recognized as one of the top four guards in the entire NBA!
Yes, Nash, Kobe, Arenas, these are the four top guards now recognized in the league, the four top outsiders!
That's right, Arenas is now called a super giant.
With no defensive shortcomings, Arenas has never suffered a loss against any outside superstar in the league this season, except Yes.
In fact, even against yes, except for being defeated four times by yes, his statistics are actually much better than yes.
Therefore, the theme of this year's Eastern and Western All-Stars is no longer last year's battle of the Chosen Ones.
Rather, it’s ‘The Fairy Tale Child’s rematch! ’
Arenas and yes, these two fairy tale players will lead their respective teams to fight again on the stage of the NBA All-Star Game!
Last year's Eastern Conference protagonist James is now just one of Arenas' partners.
Last year, Arenas watched him handle the ball like me.
And this year, he wants to watch Arenas control the ball like me!
James is in a very complicated and unhappy mood now.
It's not easy to be in front of him.
It's also not easy to be next to Arenas.
Arenas is not a player who lets the ball go easily.
James now feels he can understand some of his former Cavaliers teammates who left sadly.
Arenas' fighting spirit in this game is very high, which can be seen from the fact that he continues to ignore the pick-and-rolls of James, Garnett, Howard and others.
Arenas' only goal is Yes!
Although his opponent in this game was Roy.
Facing Roy's defense, Arenas changed the direction of his hips and shook Roy's center of gravity, then stepped directly on the three-point line and pulled up!
Seeing Arenas's style of play, the number '0' in Roy's eyes turned into number '9'!
This style is so similar!
A swipe!
With the cheers of the Thunder fans at the scene, Arenas stretched out his right hand and pointed out the index finger of his right hand.
The target, of course, is Ye Si, who is not far away.
"Yes, he can't guard against me!"
Arenas' voice was loud and emotional.
Not to mention the players on the court, even the commentators such as Barkley on the sidelines heard it.
"Arenas is so crazy!"
"But, I like it!"
Roy held his hands tightly.
His defense just now was indeed not good enough.
He can defend better.
Personal honor and disgrace, the team's honor and disgrace...
Looking at Arenas' arrogant back.
Roy's expression is constantly changing now.
Finally, he unclenched his fists and patted his knees. He knew his choice for this game...
Um?
Just when Roy focused his eyes again, he was tapped on the shoulder.
leaf?
"Brenton, let's change."
Change, change?
"Persistence is very important."
Is persistence important?
Roy's anger that was originally aroused by Arenas calmed down.
This made Adelman relieved in front of the TV.
D'Antoni, Nash, Duncan and others standing on the sidelines looked not only in surprise but also in respect.
What does this game mean?
He can still put others first. What kind of selflessness is this?
"Even temporary teammates are teammates?"
"Can even a temporary teammate make a selfless sacrifice?"
As someone who has been 'surpassed' by yes, the magician now has a somewhat moved expression on his face.
It's not just Magic and others who have some moved faces, but also the Western players on and off the court.
It was the Western Conference's turn to attack. Faced with the strict defense of the Eastern All-Stars, Yeosi did not attack by himself, but threw the ball to Yao Ming.
"This pass is a little high!"
"But it's just right!"
After receiving the ball, Yao Ming pushed back and completed a dunk under the basket.
"It's so easy!"
"It's so easy for Yao Ming to sit with Howard!"
Little Leaf can sacrifice for temporary teammates like us, so it doesn’t matter if we sacrifice a little, right?
After Yao Ming completed the dunk, he extended his thumb to Ye Si outside.
The pass was very good, although it was not accurate enough, like a beginner's pass, but it was very freehand. Is this a childlike pass?
It is indeed full of artistic conception and fun!
“The offense and defense of the East and West are very exciting!”
"Yao Ming is going all out on the offensive end!"
Yao Ming's strong attack from the beginning surprised many people.
This is different from what I said before the game!
Howard looked at Yao Ming in front of him in disbelief. Is he so weak? !
"This game, 60%!"
Sixty percent?
What sixty percent? !
Howard was a little stunned when he saw Yao Ming running back.
