Chapter 255 Sorry Shaq, I Want to Be the Protagonist Too!

Sunday, February 15, Staples Center.

If the theme of last year's NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta was departure.

So, the theme of this year's All-Star Game in Los Angeles is going home.

Last year was Jordan's departure, and this year is O'Neal's return.

So when O'Neal, wearing a dark blue Eastern All-Star jersey, appeared at Staples and in the center of the court, the Los Angeles fans in the audience were even more crazy than when Chen Xiao, James, Carter, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming appeared on the stage. of cheers and applause.

Everyone knows that with O'Neal's character, how could he not show off at this time?

During the All-Star game, the whole world was paying attention, and amid the cheers of Los Angeles fans, O'Neal took his ecstatic and familiar dominating step.

And when O'Neal's dominating step appeared again in Staples Arena, the entire Staples Arena seemed to be plunged into a crazy atmosphere.

At this time, whether it is the All-Star starters in the East, James, Chen Xiao, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Yao Ming, or the All-Star starters in the West, Kidd, Kobe, Anthony, Garnett and Battle, all have become O'Neal. supporting role.

In fact, the seven of them, Chen Xiao and James, are actually okay. They are not all-stars fighting locally.

When O'Neal became the protagonist of Staples, it was Kidd, Kobe and Battelle who were the three Lakers players.

During the All-Star Weekend, local stars are definitely one of the biggest highlights of the entire scene.

But now, not to mention becoming the bright spots on the court, the three of them were even outdone by O'Neal's appearance.

This is indeed very embarrassing.

What's more important is the warm-up period after the All-Star players on both sides appeared.

When Kobe Bryant received a pass from James and went for a layup, there were even bursts of boos.

"Some of the Los Angeles fans at the scene didn't like that Kobe didn't dunk but layup this time, which is a really interesting reason."

The All-Stars who played at home met with boos at their home court, and it was for this reason.

Therefore, after the host of this game, TNT's Ernie Johnson, finished speaking, Barkley and Kenny Smith next to him were stunned.

Obviously, even if Kobe's dunk was a dunk, he would still be booed. No matter what he did, it would be wrong tonight, because tonight, O'Neal went home!

For this All-Star Game, the warm-up for the Eastern and Western All-Stars was actually very casual.

Especially when Chen Xiao has a very good relationship with the West.

During this pre-match warm-up, Chen Xiao ran directly to the west side.

Talking and laughing with his best friends from the Western Conference All-Stars.

Although the All-Star Game is a formal game in the system, for the All-Star players, this game is really not that formal, it is just for fun.

As long as everyone is happy.

For example, during the warm-up before the game, O'Neal was interacting with the fans, and no one cared about him.

For example, Chen Xiao was warming up with the Western players in the West at this time, and no one was paying attention.

Of course, Chen Xiao is not really playing here.

But here is the provocation.

"Boss Ji, I heard that you are the best fast-break point guard in the NBA. Our James and Nash are not convinced. Do you want to compete in this game?"

Good guy, you really have strong wings, you actually dare to compete in aggro in front of Brother Ji!

In fact, if Chen Xiao uses Xiao Zhan as a shield, let me tell you, Boss Ji will probably just smile slightly. Master Ji is not as knowledgeable as you young people.

But, who made Chen Xiao mention Nash?

That's completely different.

Who knew that as Boss Ji's former younger brother, Chen Xiao knew exactly what Boss Ji's G-spot was?

I have to say that Boss Ji and Xiao Chen are really ‘brothers and brothers’.

"Xiao Chen, how are you?"

After Chen Xiao came back from the provocation in the West, Xiao Zhan, Wade, Tracy McGrady, Nash and others were all looking at Chen Xiao.

After playing just now, while O'Neal was interacting with the Los Angeles fans and deepening his relationship with the Los Angeles fans, Chen Xiao proposed whether to have a quick game in this game.

Not to mention, after Chen Xiao put forward this proposal, he received strong support from the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference.

Both James and Wade are in favor of playing fast and fast breaks, but McGrady is even more eager to try it. With his talent and skills, when the game speeds up, who can match his scoring ability?

Even Nash, who has no desires and desires, has his eyes shining. After all, Kidd, who is opposite him, has always been known as the 'fastest' point guard in NBA history. Nash is not convinced by this.

Nash feels he is doing things faster with the Raptors this season.

Even Ray Allen, who was very unsociable in the All-Stars this time, his eyes lit up at this time.

When it comes to speed, Ray Allen feels that there is no one faster than him in the NBA.

"over!"

So seeing everyone's expectations, Chen Xiao smiled and made an OK gesture to the Eastern All-Stars.

Although this year's Eastern Conference All-Stars are stronger than the Western Conference, there is no problem in winning.

But to be honest, the Eastern Conference's biggest advantage is the inside line, but they really don't want to play a supporting role for O'Neal, pass the ball to O'Neal, and let O'Neal play in isolation.

Although after playing fast, the Eastern Conference's advantage is not that big, but except O'Neal, everyone can be the protagonist.

Not to mention Ray Allen, even O'Neal Jr., the "younger brother" who has been "forced" by O'Neal, feels that he can be the protagonist.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Xiao say that the western side agreed, everyone cheered.

Well, Carter was also a little cheery in his heart, but with a helpless expression on his face, he secretly walked to O'Neal on the sidelines and said a few words to O'Neal.

Then, O'Neal, who was interacting with the Los Angeles fans at the scene, exploded.

"What?!"

"Wonder Boy proposes that both sides play fast in this game?!"

This really stunned O'Neal.

To be fair, even though Chen Xiao was hollowed out, out of the 12 All-Stars in the East, only Carter and O'Neill still support him, and their power is limited to three.

But to be honest, he is not afraid.

The Eastern Conference can win no matter how hard they play, and the head coach of the Eastern Conference is Phil Jackson. When all three of the five players on the court are on the court, what will happen no matter how powerful the Wonder Boy is?

In the end, he still had the greatest power on the court.

Therefore, even if he knew that Chen Xiao was hollowing him out, he would just smile slightly.

Young man, you are still too young.

However, he really didn't expect Chen Xiao to do this!

"Isn't this too vicious?!"

O'Neal thought Chen Xiao's move was vicious, and Carter next to him felt the same way.

However, the viciousness that Carter felt was different from the viciousness that O'Neal felt. Carter felt that the viciousness was because this move was only vicious to O'Neal.

It's still very friendly to the other 11 All-Stars in the Eastern Conference.

Originally, everyone was a supporting role, but now everyone can be the protagonist, even him, can be the protagonist.

To be honest, it's quite attractive.

He is an All-Star with the same skills as McGrady, and even his shooting is better than McGrady. Maybe his older cousin can really become the protagonist in the fast break tonight.

So, how is this vicious? To everyone, this is to fight against the rich man O'Neal and divide the land for everyone.

All I can say is, Shaq, you are so capable of attracting hatred.

The head coach in the Eastern Conference is yours, the audience is also yours, and all the focus of the world is on you. Jordan last year was not as dazzling as you this year.

You are already so dazzling, but you still care about making yourself even more dazzling. Everyone is an All-Star. How can anyone not have a little temper?

Moreover, you have made Kobe and Kidd so embarrassed.

Everyone is carrying the sedan chair together. You think you are fat and have stepped on the sedan chair. You don't want anyone to carry it. You think you can carry the sedan chair.

Now it's better. Everyone thinks that since you can carry the sedan and walk with both legs, we won't carry it. You carry the sedan and walk, and we run forward.

Not to mention that Wonder Boy’s proposal is really sweet.

It tastes great to the East, but it also tastes great to the West.

As one of the two biggest players in the Western Conference, Kobe and Kidd must agree that if they can beat O'Neal and still have hope of winning, of course they are willing.

Garnett, another big player in the Western Conference, also agreed with both hands. Who the hell is willing to defend O'Neal in a positional battle?

How nice it is to run, let’s all have a beer together.

Therefore, before the game even started, O'Neal, who was going to be the protagonist of this game, found that he was directly isolated by Chen Xiao.

I have to say that after going to the Nets, Carter's emotional intelligence has skyrocketed.

There is no way around this. F7, the ingredients in it are too complicated. Unless you say that a team boss like O'Neal doesn't matter, otherwise, you really need to passively improve your emotional intelligence.

"I was fucked worse by that kid than Jordan!"

After O'Neal came to his senses after being stunned for a while, he became very unhappy and angry.

This is so unbearable!

Okay, you didn’t play this game with me. Let’s see if you can play without me!

The enthusiastic audience who were interacting with O'Neal saw O'Neal angrily running to the bench to find Phil Jackson.

"Phil, in tonight's Eastern Conference game, the tactics are positional warfare. No running and gunning or fast breaks allowed!"

"..."

At this time, Phil Jackson felt like a dog was beeping.

Although I am the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Shaq, do you think they can listen to me?

You and Bryant don't listen to me, how can you expect Wonder Boy and the others to listen to me?

Just when O'Neal was on the sidelines asking Phil Jackson to support him in winning tonight's MVP, the players from the two teams were already on the court warming up.

At this time, Yao Ming and Bago were already preparing to jump the ball in the center circle.

The Eastern Conference's substitute All-Stars have all come down, so O'Neal naturally can't continue to pester Phil Jackson.

Seeing O'Neal sitting in his chair angrily, Phil Jackson also breathed a sigh of relief.

For the head coach of the Nets, although he sympathizes with Shaq being treated so badly by the Wonder Boy, he thinks it's good to let Shaq watch the show on the sidelines tonight.

Just before this game, Shaq and Bryant clashed, and then something unpredictable happened during the game. It would be really difficult for him to handle it.

If O'Neal, who was so angry at this time, knew that even his head coach was siding with Chen Xiao at this time, he would definitely be very shocked.

Then you will definitely exclaim, this guy is too thorough with me, isn't he? !

Of course, O'Neal definitely didn't know this at this time. At this time, O'Neal's eyes were all on the court.

Of course, Yao Ming won the jump ball between Yao Ming and Bago without any doubt.

Although there is no suspense about the outcome of this jump ball, for Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, this is definitely a scene worth remembering.

In the NBA All-Star Game, the two players who started the jump ball were actually Chinese players.

This is definitely something that can be recorded in the annals of Chinese basketball and sports history.

After Yao Ming succeeded in jumping the ball, the next scene made the Chinese fans in front of the TV go crazy.

James received the ball from Yao Ming and quickly advanced with the ball.

And to cooperate with James' rapid advancement, Chen Xiao, McGrady, and Carter made a three-way volley, plus Yao Ming, who immediately made a fast break after the successful jump ball, and the five starting All-Stars in the East all rushed to the West half. !

Let me tell you, the current Dayao has not gained weight yet, but the current Dayao is a "ruthless person" who can dribble the ball by himself and make fast breaks.

Therefore, when James, Chen Xiao, Tracy McGrady, Carter and Yao Ming rushed together, the aura was really scary.

Although they have known for a long time that the Eastern Conference is going to play fast, the players in the Western Conference have already been prepared.

However, the speed of the Eastern side still confused the defense.

Mainly because Bugo slowed me down.

After Xiao Zhan rushed up, a Ji boss would definitely be unstoppable, that would require two people desperately to recover from the basket, and outside, Yao Ming, McGrady, Chen Xiao, and Carter lined up, this is a very scary picture!

Xia Zhan rushed to the paint area in one breath. Facing the defense of Kevin Garnett and Kevin Garnett, he jumped up and threw the ball to Chen Xiao, who was unguarded.

Chen Xiao hit an open three-pointer from outside the three-point line!

3 to 0!

After the game started, the Eastern Conference completed the attack in less than 7 seconds.

By the way, why is there no defender in front of Chen Xiao?

Because Anthony hit Yao Ming at the free throw line.

Kobe was wrestling with his good friend Tracy McGrady.

Bago was behind Chen Xiao and Carter, and both Chen Xiao and Carter were unguarded.

But Carter acted like "I am O'Neal's man, I am responsible for running, don't pass the ball to me".

Carter wants to catch the ball, and if James passes it, he will definitely be happy.

However, in order to take care of O'Neal's feelings, he still chose to be willing in his heart and look disgusted on his face.

Xiao Zhan is also a straightforward person. If you don’t want to accept it, then I won’t pass it on.

Of course, even if Carter wanted to take the ball, he would definitely have to pass to Xiao Chen in the first attack.

The Eastern All-Stars' offense was very fast, and the Western Conference was also not to be outdone.

Garnett quickly served the baseline ball, and Kidd quickly advanced with the ball.

When Garnett was about to serve the baseline ball, Kobe and Anthony had already turned from defense to offense.

I have to say that such a counterattack would be too difficult for Bage.

Bago finally ran back, and now he wants to run away again?

And as he ran, Bago found that he fell to the end again.

"Xiao Chen, Bage is feeling uncomfortable!"

Seeing the All-Stars from the East and West flying past him one by one, Bage looked at Chen Xiao's back and almost cried.

Although I am also fat, I am really not on O'Neal's side!

Of course, at this time, the other nine All-Stars in the Eastern and Western Conferences who are already running will not care what Bugs is thinking.

After Boss Kidd pushed the ball across the half court, he threw a pass with one hand. Kobe, who had already reached the frontcourt before, ran back and threw McGrady away, and then received Kidd's pass to face Chen Xiao's assist defense pull-up layup succeed.

3 to 2!

In such a fast attack, although the Eastern side retreated quickly, there was no way to stop the defensive formation.

For Kidd, opportunities are literally everywhere.

This is also the reason why Big Brother is recognized as the number one fast break point guard in NBA history.

The vision and passing are so Dior!

After being pulled so beautifully by Boss Ke, Chen Xiao didn't care to think about it, picked up the basketball on the ground and threw it forward!

Let me tell you, at this time, the formations of the players on both sides of the court are completely messed up.

Kobe and Chen Xiao are under the basket, Yao Ming and Garnett are in the paint, and Bago is outside the three-point line.

Carter, McGrady and James are already charging for the fast break, while Anthony and Kidd are retreating with ease.

Chen Xiao's long-distance pass was thrown out, and James was already in the Western half when he received the ball.

Then Xiao Zhan took two steps together and rushed directly to the basket.

Anthony, who originally wanted to divide his troops to defend, saw James rushing so fiercely, Kidd must not be able to stop it alone, how dare he divide his troops, and immediately joined forces with Kidd to defend James' fast break to the basket.

Almost exactly the same impact on the defense line, James pressed Kidd and Anthony behind the free throw line, a very good pass behind the head, James passed the basketball to McGrady outside the arc top three-point line.

A swipe!

McGrady jumped up high and hit an open three-pointer!

6 to 2!

Looking at McGrady with his hands raised after the hit, Carter's eyes were so hot.

This rhythm is so exciting for players like them!

Therefore, he deliberately ran to the side just to let James see it. In fact, James did see Carter out of his peripheral vision.

But Carter acted like "Don't look for me, I'm just running away and don't want to catch the ball." James was in a dilemma.

If you don't want to catch the ball, then I won't pass it. In fact, James wants to pass it to Carter. Carter's three-pointer is more stable than Maizi's.

He got two assists at the beginning, and Xiao Zhan was very happy.

McGrady is also very happy. When will he have such an opportunity in the NBA now?

Looking back, Kidd responded with a long-distance baseline pass from Chen Xiao and Dongfang.

Kidd's passing is much better than Chen Xiao.

He received Anthony's serve at the baseline, passed it directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and passed it directly to the Eastern basket!

Seeing Kidd passing the ball like this, how could Yao Ming dare to neglect it? He immediately went to defend the basket.

This is right, as long as Yao Ming controls the basket, the opponent can at least not get layups or dunks but can only shoot.

Chen Xiao only defends Bago, Garnett and Kobe, so this is just a matter of chance.

Garnett received Kidd's super long pass at the free throw line. Facing Chen Xiao's help defense, he didn't attack a single point and passed it to Kobe, who was already unguarded.

Kobe held the ball and went straight to the basket. Yao Ming assisted in defense. Kobe passed the ball to Bago who was following up. Bago caught the ball and dunked successfully.

Bugs All-Star Game broke!

6 to 4!

When Bago dunked, the time on the scoreboard was 11 minutes and 30 seconds!

In other words, the game has only been played for 30 seconds!

"In 30 seconds, the Eastern and Western All-Stars have played a total of four rounds of offense?"

"This time the All-Stars, the Eastern and Western All-Star teams played too fast!"

Ernie Johnson, Barkley, Kenny Smith and other TNT host commentators were amazed.

The Los Angeles fans at the scene were also shocked.

This game goes too fast!

"Didn't we agree that the protagonist of this game is Shaq?"

"Shaq went to the Nets for half a season. Can he play a game like this now?"

The Lakers fans at the scene were shocked and confused.

At this time, the on-site director was also very understanding. Almost all the live broadcast shots were focused on O'Neal sitting on the sidelines.

Seeing the fat man sitting on the bench with his face turned blue on the big screen, the Lakers fans at the scene didn't know why!

"Our Shaq's been sidelined!"

For a moment, after being stunned, the Lakers fans at the scene immediately booed loudly.

This booing was, of course, directed at the ten All-Stars from the east and west who were trying to cause trouble on the court.

Hearing the boos, O'Neal on the sidelines comforted him a lot.

Boy Wonder is indeed too vicious.

However, you are deliberately trying to mess with me and the fans are on my side. What can you say?

And, not only are the fans on my side, Vince is on my side too!

In both attacks, Carter had good opportunities, but he chose to stand there with his hands on his hips and not catch the ball. This was very comforting to O'Neal.

I, Shaq, the great Shark, am definitely not alone!

I have brothers and thousands of troops by my side!

Just when O'Neal heard the boos of the Lakers fans at the scene and thought that there were brothers on the court who were always on his side and was happy, on the court, the Eastern All-Stars attacked.

This time Chen Xiao received Yao Ming's pass and directly dribbled the ball for a fast break.

Kobe and Bugs just hit Yao under the basket, while Garnett was running behind Chen Xiao.

After Chen Xiao helped guard Garnett, he ran directly to the frontcourt.

Although Garnett is fast, he can only chase after him.

Chen Xiao took the lead and rushed to the frontcourt, where the base boss was already waiting for Chen Xiao outside the three-point line.

Defending Chen Xiao's fast break is different from defending James!

Boss Key blocked Chen Xiao's path. James took Anthony to the basket to prepare for an alley-oop, while Carter and McGrady both spread out.

Garnett can only choose one of McGrady or Carter.

Finally chose McGrady.

Garnett felt that Carter would not betray O'Neal by taking advantage of him.

Uh-huh.

O'Neal feels the same way.

When faced with Big Brother Ji's defense, Chen Xiao did not choose to make a pull-up by himself, nor did he choose to pass the ball to the basket for Xiao Zhan to receive the ball in the air.

Instead, he pushed with his right hand and pushed the ball directly to Carter, who was unguarded outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Carter was slightly stunned after receiving Chen Xiao's pass.

Carter still didn't make any movement to catch the ball just now.

So seeing Carter so stunned, O'Neal on the sidelines stood up excitedly and happily.

"Vince, good brother!"

Look, this is a good brother, completely different from a superficial brother like a viper!

"Vince, don't vote!"

O'Neill looked at the big screen and roared in his heart.

On the court, there was not much time left for Carter.

Because Boss Ke is back!

Carter was hesitating, Carter was struggling, Carter was gritting his teeth in his heart, but in the end, Carter jumped up high.

Seeing Carter flying in the air, Kobe, who rushed back to help defend, stopped one step behind Carter.

Kobe stopped for a moment and then smiled.

As for O'Neal on the sidelines, the excitement on his face seemed to have solidified.

And Carter in the air...

"Shaq, I'm sorry, I want to be the protagonist too!"

Moreover, when I came to the Nets, I was originally quite the protagonist...

A swipe!

Three point hit!

9 to 4!

This unusually clear sound of brushing the Internet is too heart-wrenching.

So much so that O'Neal covered his heart with his right hand.

Heart hurts.
