Chapter 192 Getting better
"Karim, a 38-year-old veteran, with a left hand hook! The ball was scored, this was the first goal the Western Conference All-Star team scored."
The first goal scored by the Western Conference All-Star team was Kareem Kareem, who was already 38 years old but still struggling on the court. He easily hit with his skillful hook-up, but in the All-Star field, his offensive methods were too monotonous.
On the east side, when you see Jabbar hit one, you will naturally have to let Jabbar's old opponent, Moses Malone, still have one in Jabbar.
Of course, Moses did not have any height advantage in front of Jabbar, but Moses was never afraid of opponents taller than him. In fact, in the NBA, he spent most of his time fighting centers taller than him, so he had an absolute advantage in strength.
He arched his butt and squeezed into the three-second zone in front of the basket. His 76ers teammate Dr. J. Irving took the ball at the top of the arc. When he saw Moses crushing it in like a bulldozer, he immediately stuffed the ball into the inside line with a low flat ball.
Moses Malone looked like a honest bear without receiving the ball, but once he received the ball at the basket, he began to show his sharp minions.
"Maron turned around with the ball! He made a foul, and Maron was fouled by Jabbar."
Malone's position is fast and fierce, and he has a very good grasp of the timing. Dr. J started to act as soon as he touched the ball. After getting the ball, he quickly turned around and completely pressed Jabbar behind him. Jabbar did not seem to want to let Malone dunk just now, but hugged Malone down.
It seems that this pair of opponents who have been in the first round of the Western Conference in 1981 are unwilling to give each other a chance to perform in the All-Star Game.
"Look at Ma Long's position, Gan, you still have room for improvement." At this time, Ramsey, who was sitting next to Gan Guoyang on the bench, seized every opportunity to preach to Gan Guoyang.
Gan Guoyang nodded. He also learned about Moses Malone's position. He was powerful and stable. He was fierce and the heat was just right, making up for his height disadvantage as much as possible.
In comparison, Gan Guoyang has a strong position but insufficient positioning, especially at the beginning of the season, he often pursues too much in the basket, which makes him lose his tactical flexibility.
To reach Ma Long, it requires both the accumulation of experience and Gan Guoyang needs to enrich his offensive methods and support capabilities. The key position is just a part of the entire set of lethal weapons.
With Ma Long making one of two free throws, the Eastern Conference Stars still maintained the lead.
At this time, the Magic began to show his outstanding long pass ability. After receiving the serve in the backcourt, he immediately passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.
Dantley received the ball in the frontcourt. After adjusting the dribble, he passed the ball to Sampson who followed the arc. After Sampson received the ball, he jumped directly!
"Bang!" The ball was not scored, and Sampson failed to score in two attacks at the beginning, which made Gan Guoyang a little anxious.
And Jordan got the backcourt rebound, which was his third rebound. In this game, Jordan was extremely active in grabbing rebounds. Perhaps he knew that if he didn't grab it himself, no one would pass the ball to him.
Isia Thomas broke through quickly, holding the ball with a single hand and swung his arm to layup, but unfortunately he failed to make progress. He was disturbed by his opponent and shot a crossing.
Now, it was the Magician's turn to show his power again. He received the rebound from Gewen and dribbled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.
While dribbling, he turned his head and looked at the right rear. Jabbar was following him, but when he turned around and continued to rush forward, he waved his hand gently and passed the ball to Sampson, who was on his left back!
Sampson was like a small forward, and he could not tell that his height reached an astonishing 7-foot-3. After receiving the ball, he scored his first point in the game with a light layup!
"How did he pass this ball? Did he see Sampson?" Gan Guoyang still felt incredible when he saw Johnson's pass off the court. To be honest, he has been watching the Magicians game for several years, but he still couldn't understand how Johnson's like this ball came out.
The TV station is also replaying this fast attack shot. It can be clearly seen from the front camera. Johnson turned his head and looked at the back of the right, but he finally passed the ball to the left, and no one knew how he did it.
And immediately, the Eastern Conference All-Stars made another mistake. They hit the ball in the foot while passing the ball. The Magician was quick-eyed and quickly grabbed the ball and launched a fast break again. This time Dantley seized the opportunity and successfully made a layup.
6:6, the Western Conference All-Stars tied the score under the leadership of the Magician.
"Johnson's ability to advance fast attacks is really powerful. Johnson can let them learn a bloody lesson if any of their opponents' mistakes."
Compared with Johnson's ability to advance fast attack, Dr. J's shooting ability is surprising. He took the ball from the right bottom line and shot directly, but the arc of the ball was obviously wrong as soon as it was shot. It was too smooth and soft.
"I guess I didn't make it!" Gan Guoyang shouted on the bench as soon as he saw Irving's shot.
As expected, the ball did not go in. It just hit the basket and the ball failed to bounce. After the Western Conference All-Star team grabbed the rebound, the ball came to the Magician again and made another quick counterattack!
The magician Johnson dribbled the ball and looked like a lively deer. After jumping two laps near the top of the arc, he distributed the ball to Ralph Sampson.
This time Sampson did not have a chance to make a layup, but held the ball at the ground 45 degrees on the right, about 10 feet away from the basket, and he faced Larry Bird.
After a little shaking, Sampson chose to pull up the jump shot!
Most of the ordinary inside players choose to make a comeback when making a jump shot, that is, their feet do not leave the ground or slightly off the ground, not to mention that ordinary inside players have poor mid-range shots.
But Sampson, the big guy, pulled up and rose into the air, then shot, which was a standard backcourt player action.
"Swish!" The ball went in! Bird didn't save to defend because Sampson jumped and shot no one could reach it.
The Western All-Star team, which has a magician, has continuously scored counterattacks, so just over a minute has passed, but the Western All-Star team has suddenly surpassed, 8:6.
In comparison, the Eastern Conference All-Stars have made various mistakes and made mistakes.
Michael Jordan, who really wanted to show himself, finally got an offensive opportunity in the positional offense, but he dribbled the ball and drove it out of the bottom line! Another mistake.
However, the Western Conference All-Stars did not seize the opportunity to expand the score gap. They also "responded" to the Eastern Conference All-Stars with a mistake. Magic Johnson wanted to pass the ball to Dantley, who had an empty cut in the baseline, but ended up exposing the ball to the baseline.
"This is not an All-Star Competition, it's simply a mistake." Gan Guoyang couldn't even watch it even while sitting off the court. This was different from the All-Star Competition he had watched in his impression. It started for several minutes and there was no dunk.
Gan Guoyang is still watching this game in front of the TV, so he must have changed the channel to watch other TV programs.
But soon, the first climax of the first quarter came, and Larry Bird went around to the horn to receive the ball, and under Dantley's defense, he took the ball and turned over and jumped back!
The tilt was extremely large, almost reaching 45 degrees, but the ball still drew a wonderful arc and entered the basket hollow!
"Beep!" At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, Danterly fouled, Bird scored a three-pointer!
There was finally a huge cheer on the scene. I couldn't help but think that Bird was an Indiana because of Bird's shooting. He came here to play the All-Stars and went back to his hometown to fight.
"Larry Bird's goal won cheers from the fans on the scene. Bird will definitely recall the heroic treatment he received in Indiana when he competed in the NCAA with the Figs." Dick Stockton began to help Bird recall his college, which is the name of the Indiana State basketball team.
"Birdgar hit a free throw! 9:8, the Eastern Conference All-Stars took the lead again. I think with this goal, both sides will be in better shape and their performance will become more and more exciting."
As soon as Dick Stockton finished speaking, the Western Conference All-Stars made a mistake. Jabbar wanted to pass it inward to the Magician who cut the air, but the ball was cut off by active Jordan.
"Jordan, do you want to be so active!" Gan Guoyang was still anxious when he sat on the sidelines. Although Sampson scored 4 points, this was far from enough. Moreover, the Western Conference All-Star team must win.
The Eastern All-Stars, which launched a counterattack, immediately triggered the second climax. The creator of this climax was Dr. J and Julius Irving.
Irving took the ball 45 degrees on the left, and he was still far from the basket, and there was almost no threat from him here.
At this time, he began to walk in with the ball, but was defended by Magic Johnson's close-fitting defense. He turned around and dodged Johnson's defense, but Sampson rushed up, and Sampson seemed to have a large black net covering Irving.
At this time, Irving suddenly increased his stride, and the ball was clamped by one hand with his right hand, and he began to rush towards the basket with a big stride!
The ball and his body seemed to blend together, and his movement undoubtedly reminded people of "Rock-the-baby", but he was still too far from the basket.
But he couldn't dribble anymore, he still jumped up high, swung a beautiful arc with his right hand holding the ball, throwing the ball towards the basket, and avoiding Sampson's interference!
The ball was bumped on the basket a few times, and finally stumbled into the Nets, and the ball went in!
The audience broke out again. The reason why Dr. J was elected as the All-Star starter every year was because he was able to bring such an incredible performance.
Gan Guoyang sat on the sidelines and couldn't help but applaud this wonderful goal. He also began to feel that the game was becoming more and more interesting, and people began to become excited.
