NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 267 Your good days are over!
Kobe asked his teammates to pull away and began to challenge Jordan.

He showed off his skills to the fullest, including physical confrontation, footwork, shooting, layups, and dunks, one by one in front of Jordan, as if waiting for Jordan's review.

Jordan also smiled and took all of Kobe's moves. Looking back, he also showed his skillful offensive skills in his own offensive rounds.

This is the alternation of old and new!
This is the passing of the torch!
The fans at the scene showed great enthusiasm for this inheritance and gave the loudest cheers.

Lu Yuanzhi, on the other hand, kept his mouth shut. What kind of inheritance is this?
Isn't the most classic alternation between old and new, stabbing the old king in the heart with a sword, and lightly replying "ascend to the throne as king" to the question "Son, what are you doing?"

When did inheritance have to be so tender and affectionate?
The old gangster was able to ascend to the throne and become No. 1 in the league because he fought hard with the bad boys of the Pistons for several years, and finally succeeded in reaching the top with a brilliant record of defeating the bad boys.

The No. 1 ranking in the league was not created through speculation, nor was it created by begging opponents to "pass it on"!
Young Kobe, do you think your performance in the All-Star Game is a legacy?
Do not!
The No. 1 ranking in the league is won by real swords and real guns, not by asking for it on the entertainment stage of the All-Star Game.

This is not a legacy, this is a circus!

It’s not that you use your hands to perform a crown and put it on your head, you will become a real king.

Maybe you won’t understand this truth until the day you become the Black Mamba!
The theme of the first half of the third quarter was the duel between Kobe and Jordan. The fans watched it with gusto, but many NBA stars found it boring.

What level is your Kobe?
He's just a little follower who won two championships with O'Neal, and now he dares to jump out and take over from the old gangster?

Where did the courage come from?
Even if the alliance praises you, I think you are not qualified!
However, it was not the Western team's players who took the lead, but the Eastern team's Allen Iverson.

Is this playing house over yet?

The only time Iverson reached the Finals was when he lost to the Lakers.

But Iverson didn't feel like he lost to Kobe.

Anyone who is not blind knows that O'Neal was the key to the game in that series.

If O'Neal hadn't destroyed the 76ers inside, how could the Lakers win?

Kobe?

Ha ha!

Similarly, although Iverson respects Jordan, who won two consecutive championships, he is not satisfied with the old gangster who is late but still wants to occupy the C position.

Old man, you can't bring the team into the playoffs, why are you still pretending to be a big brother here?
Times have changed!

Now is the world of young people!

Iverson did not hesitate to break the warm feeling created by the league's top management, directly grabbed the ball, and began his lone charge, hoping to reduce the score before the end of the third quarter.

Under the leadership of Iverson, the Eastern Team players no longer stood and watched the boring one-on-one duel between the old gangster and the cauliflower snake. They also began to devote themselves to the offense.

Iverson, McGrady and Carter frequently hit three-pointers from the outside, and the Eastern team's score continued to get closer.

Kobe was extremely angry after being interrupted from a duel with Jordan. He frequently asked his teammates to pull away and chose to duel himself. However, under Jordan's defense, his shooting rate was not high.

At 98:90, the Eastern team successfully narrowed the point difference to double digits at the end of the third quarter.

The score difference is only 8 points, which means that they will have a great chance to overtake the score in the fourth quarter and win the game.

Throughout the third quarter, Lu Yuanzhi was put on the bench by Adelman and did not play.

As the head coach of the All-Star Game, Adelman still has some caution.

Our main small forward already has good statistics, so why should we go to death?
Wouldn't it be better to give him more time to rest?
Look at this young man, he was tired from the dunk contest yesterday.

We don’t know whether Lu Yuanzhi dunked or not, but the one-on-two extra training in the Gold Club last night really consumed Lu Yuanzhi’s physical energy. He felt like he was stepping on clouds in the morning.

Therefore, he and Adelman's ideas coincide with each other.You have shown off three-pointers, dunks, and physical talent, so why do you still go up and work for nothing?

The All-Star Game system doesn’t give rewards, so why work so hard?
Why do you take the initiative to work overtime without being paid overtime?
Whose cow and horse are so self-conscious!
The legacy of Kobe and Jordan's one-on-one duel was interrupted by the Eastern Conference team led by Iverson, but he was not frustrated. He was very satisfied to be able to play one-on-one with Jordan for almost half a quarter under the attention of the world's audience.

Therefore, when Kobe walked off the court, he still had the wind in his step and was very proud of himself.

Lu Yuanzhi leaned over at this time and poked Kobe's waist, "Hey, Kobe, I heard that you grew up in Italy?"

Kobe nodded with a puzzled look on his face. This was almost written down by the media. It was a well-known thing. What's there to ask?

"But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong! You couldn't have grown up in Italy!"

Kobe looked confused, not knowing what kind of medicine Lu Yuanzhi was selling.

Lu Yuanzhi stretched out his two hands, bent his palms, put the five fingertips together, gently shook his wrists up and down, and swung his arms up and down, "Look, this is the way Italians speak!"

"You've never lived in Italy!"

Kobe was stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, then slapped Lu Yuanzhi hard on the shoulder, trying to say something, but he couldn't stop laughing at all.

This scene was also faithfully recorded by the camera on the sidelines.

At this time, the discussion on the Internet about this All-Star Game also reached its climax.

"It's so annoying. Why did you interrupt the duel between Kobe and Jordan? This jumper is so beautiful. I want to watch them fight forever!"

"Let's take it in. The All-Stars are a stage for all the stars to perform. Those two independent players who want to challenge each other can go to the training gym next door!"

"Don't you think the protagonist of this All-Star Game is not the star, but Adelman, the head coach of the Western Conference?"

"Yes, yes! I've felt this way for a long time! There are five big lineups at one time, and five small lineups at another time. The whole thing depends on Adelman!"

"Who doesn't know how to do all the tricks, but Adelman can lead the team by more than 20 points with all his tricks? This is really awesome!"

"There are sharks and Buddhas on the team, and I don't know how to lose! My grandma can win even if she is the head coach!"

"Look at the fourth quarter. The Eastern team has already caught up with the score. To judge the coaching level, you have to look at the critical moments. The fourth quarter is when Adelman proves his coaching level."

"Come on, Adelman still needs to prove his coaching skills in the All-Star Game? Leading the team to win the Western Conference Finals in 5-on-8 last year has proven everything!"

"Look, what are Max and Kobe talking about? Are they laughing so exaggeratedly?"

"The relationship between these two people is really good. Is there any chance to sign Max during this year's transfer period? If you sign Max, the Lakers will win the championship!"

"Humi is tired. Your salary is about to explode. How can you recruit Max? He will earn more than the basic salary next year!"

Adelman and Lu Yuanzhi, who were being discussed, were sitting on the sidelines, but their expressions became increasingly serious.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Eastern team continued its hot touch and continued to chase points. With about 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, it had successfully overtaken the score.

110: 112.

Adelman didn't want his All-Star coaching to lose to the recognized weak Eastern Conference, so he tentatively asked, "Max?"

Although Lu Yuanzhi doesn't want to make a desperate effort in the All-Star Game, he can't afford to lose this person if he leads by more than 20 points and still loses the game.

Hearing Adelman's call, Lu Yuanzhi nodded firmly, then stood up and started to warm up.

After sitting there for too long, it’s time to go up and tell the opponents of the Eastern Team that your good days are over!
