Chapter 146 The most intense All-Star Game in history, Wang Yan teaches Western stars how to behave!
Chapter 146

During the All-Star Game, the overall atmosphere was friendly and joyful, and not too confrontational.

We are all colleagues, there is no need to fight to the death.

The hatred is "deep-rooted" only among fans.

However, Howard felt a bit like seeking revenge today, so he made big moves right from the start.

Of course Wang Yan couldn't spoil him.

After the dunk, Wang Yan beat his chest and yelled at Howard, spewing trash talk!
"Who do you think you are? I can easily beat you to pieces!"

In fact, Wang Yan rarely talks trash during the regular season.

Generally, if a grudge is taken, it is taken care of on the spot, there is no need to complain.

The reason why trash talk is so rampant in the All-Star Game is also a kind of show effect.

In recent years, the All-Star Game has become more and more friendly, with the stars all laughing and joking, which makes the fans very unhappy.

In some basketball forums, fans' favorite discussion is who will team up with whom and whether they can beat who will team up with whom.

I remember there was a great post with thousands of replies, the title of which was: Can Jordan + Olajuwon + Magic Johnson + Barkley + Pippen beat Kobe + James + O'Neal + Karl Malone + Paul?

The fans expressed their opinions, and support was basically evenly split.

Now that everyone's dream has come true at the All-Star Game, fans naturally hope that the stars can be more serious and play at 70% or 80% of their potential, which will be enjoyable to watch.

Howard was dunked on, which was a bit embarrassing, and then he was criticized, so he refused to do it.

So Howard also talked trash to Wang Yan.

The two almost came to blows.

Teammates quickly came over and pulled the two apart.

In fact, both of them were performing.

There was indeed a little anger, but it was not that serious. The two of them had a tacit understanding and were just pretending.

The fans were so excited that the cheers from the audience were thunderous.

Of course, there are many more people who support Wang Yan.

Western troops attack.

Howard and James cooperated with each other. Howard faced Bosh, ran back, and prepared to receive the pass from James and dunk under the basket.

This is the offensive style that the Beast is best at. He doesn't like to play pick-and-roll, but prefers to use his jumping ability to play aerial relay!

Unfortunately, Wang Yan is now on the opposite side.

Wang Yan's opening show was an aerial relay, and he had tried all kinds of tricks, so Howard's tricks were all left over from Wang Yan's tricks.

James threw the ball up and it was very accurate. Howard should have been able to complete it easily.

Unexpectedly, Howard felt someone yelling behind him, "Bang!"
Before Howard could even grab the basketball firmly, he was slapped on the backboard.

Too scary!

Howard didn't look back, but his heart sank. He knew it must have been Wang Yan who took action.

No one else can have such a fast bullet speed and such a high height!

The basketball bounced far away and landed right in front of Irving.

Irving did not stop and launched a fast break, and no one on the Western All-Star team had time to react.

Only Kobe chased for a few steps symbolically, and then gave up because Irving was too fast!
boom!
Irving also performed a rare one-handed slam dunk to liven up the All-Star Game!
In normal games, Irving rarely dunks.

Many fans thought he couldn't dunk, but in fact, Irving dunked very easily.

But he doesn't like dunks very much, he prefers to use fancy layups.

Originally, the Western All-Stars team wanted to show off, but unexpectedly, the Eastern All-Stars team showed off their fast break!
The entire audience cheered excitedly.

What they shouted was actually the slogan of the Cavaliers: "Wang Ou is online! Unlimited dominance!"

Good guy!
The All-Star Game turned out to be a showcase of the Cavaliers’ internal style!

James and Howard looked unhappy.

There was no other way. As long as Wang Yan was around, the difficulty of their show would increase dramatically.

In the following games, Wang Yan did not pursue the opponent relentlessly, but deliberately reduced the intensity a bit so that the score gap between the two sides would not be too big.

This is also for the fans' sake, to keep the game a little suspenseful.

After the first half, the score was 73:70, with the Eastern Conference All-Stars leading by 3 points.

Although Wang Yan played conservatively, he still scored 24 points, the most among players on both sides.

At the beginning of the third quarter, at the suggestion of Wang Yan and Kobe, the substitute stars of both sides started the game.

This is the first time this operation has been carried out since the establishment of the All-Star Game.

In fact, the bench lineup in every All-Star Game is very strong, and when the game really starts, it is no worse than the starting lineup.

It’s just that the popularity of substitutes is slightly lower, because some players’ playing style is pragmatic and not very entertaining to watch.

For example, Duncan, Kidd, and Billups.

Or some superstars have not yet achieved any results and are still in the development stage.

The Western Conference's bench lineup is Duncan, Durant, Harden, Westbrook, and Randolph!

Look at this lineup, it’s really powerful!
The Western Conference starters may not be able to win.

The Eastern Conference bench lineup is Paul George, Rondo, Butler, Tyson Chandler, and Noah.

This lineup is also very strong.

The fans were also very cooperative. When they saw the substitutes from both teams play, they stood up and applauded, cheering for the performance of this All-Star Game.

As soon as Durant came on, he hit a three-pointer to tie the score.

Paul George was not to be outdone and immediately responded with a big three-pointer!
The game is getting more and more exciting.

Harden from the West faced Butler and made a step-back three-pointer, which was very exciting.

Butler from the Eastern Conference made a 2+1 with a breakthrough jump shot and caused Harden to foul.

The audience went crazy, they didn’t expect that the substitute lineup would play so fiercely and it would be equally exciting!
The game was evenly matched between the two teams' substitute lineups.

More than 6 minutes into the third quarter, the game was tied again.

At this time, some fans were not happy and wanted Wang Yan to play.

So all the fans in the stadium shouted Wang Yan’s name, it was deafening!
Superstars like James and Kobe listened to the audience's shouts and felt envious and jealous.

There’s nothing we can do about it, this is popularity!
I can't accept it.

Eastern Conference head coach Spoelstra followed public opinion, called a timeout, and replaced the starting lineups of both teams.

Western Conference head coach D'Antoni also replaced his main players.

The game continues.

As soon as Wang Yan came on the court, he kicked off the offense with an ultra-long three-pointer from the top of the arc.

Kobe retaliated with a 45-degree angle fadeaway three-pointer.

Under the leadership of Wang Yan, the three-point craze accounted for an increasingly larger proportion in the game.

But the three-point shot now is completely different from before.

In the past, it was basically just open three-pointers, which was not very entertaining.

Nowadays, three-point shooting is not satisfying if you don’t show off some fancy dribbling or take a long shot.

The score is still very tense.

Wang Yan only made one three-pointer and then returned to his inside play, using various offensive methods amid the cheers of the audience.

In fact, there are too many weapons in Wang Yan’s arsenal, and some of them are not used in normal times.

Competitions are different from exhibition games.

In actual combat, Wang Yan would always try to use the most suitable and concise way to score. But in the All-Star Game, he didn't have to worry about that and could show off all the skills he didn't normally use.

What about crossover slam dunks, fadeaway jump shots, one-legged stand, dodging shots under the basket, and super pull-up shots!

The fans were really stunned. They seemed to have forgotten that Wang Yan actually had so many moves.

Even Anthony, who has a kaleidoscope of offense, or Kobe, Jordan's successor, were stunned.

A 2-meter-tall guy can actually perform so many technical moves.

And the movements are not stiff, but very smooth, relaxed and full of beauty!

This is the All-Star Game, not only are the scores close and the competition intense, but the superstars will also perform.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 97:95, with the Eastern Conference leading by 2 points.

In the last quarter, both sides definitely fought with real swords and guns.

In fact, the competition between the two sides was quite intense in the first three quarters.

The fans are so happy, the last moment has finally arrived and the imagined superstar team-up confrontation is about to appear!
Wang Yan and other main players took a break first, and then the substitute lineups of both sides faced off.

The fourth quarter was full of tension at the beginning.

Rondo and Westbrook almost came to blows because of a breakthrough collision. They faced each other, nose to nose, and saliva sprayed on each other's faces.

The referee and teammates quickly came over to separate the two.

This is the kind of game that fans want to watch the most, it’s exciting!

This has never happened in the All-Star Game in decades.

Regardless of whether the two were acting or it was real, at least there was tension between them.

It’s just like WWE, although it’s a performance, it’s very real, making the fans feel the tension and passion!
After Wang Yan came on the court, in order to help Rondo get back the ball, Wang Yan provided assisting defense during Westbrook's breakthrough, and bang!
He directly blocked Westbrook's shot and caught Westbrook's pass.

Westbrook was furious and immediately started a counterattack, but the referee blew the whistle because his action was too big.

wonderful!

It’s all real!
Afterwards, in order to "avenge" Westbrook, Durant took advantage of his teammates' cover and made a large CROSS OVER and shot at high speed!
Wang Yan was a little slow in his defense and failed to catch up, so he watched Durant make a mid-range shot!

It’s so lively with people coming and going!
These superstars really brought out all their best skills.

第四节还剩1分31秒，双方比分来到132:131，西部明星队领先1分。

The Eastern Conference All-Stars attack.

Because Wang Yan just went off the court to rest for a minute, the Western Conference launched a small climax and actually overtook them.

There was no other choice, so Spoelstra had to replace Wang Yan again.

After Wang Yan came on the court, he was not at all panicked when facing the full-court press and even double-teaming by the Western All-Stars Team.

Griffin and James were like an eagle catching chickens, almost holding hands and tightly stopping Wang Yan.

But Wang Yan probably took a big step back and then suddenly rushed to the left.

Griffin was terrified and quickly tensed his muscles, trying desperately to stop it.

He knew how hard Wang Yan's body was. If he was not prepared for this collision, he would definitely be injured.

James also moved his feet, ready to assist in defense, he knew that Griffin could not stop him alone.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan changed direction and dribbled the ball back from under his crotch the moment he rushed forward.

With this big change of direction, he moved more than 2 meters away and then rushed to the right in an instant.

Griffin and James' focus had shifted, and they couldn't react at all.

Wang Yan got rid of the two men and easily crossed half the court.

The fans at the scene cheered again. Every move of Wang Yan was so wonderful, it was simply a work of art!

After half court, Howard rushed up again.

Wang Yan bent down and made a breakthrough. Howard is considered fast among centers.

He hurried to block it.

But Wang Yan's breakthrough was fake. At the moment Howard blocked him, Wang Yan pulled the ball back and retreated outside the three-point line.

The players of the Western All-Stars team were shocked, knowing that Wang Yan was going to shoot a three-pointer.

Sure enough, there was no one in front of Wang Yan, so he acted calmly!

Swish!
Three-pointer hit!

This is how peak Curry plays in another parallel world.

Now Wang Yan has mastered Curry's skills, and his height and long arms make him even more threatening, which is simply unstoppable!
The Eastern team took the lead.

In the next round, Paul and Griffin cooperated brilliantly and made a Clippers-style aerial relay.

Wang Yan was on the other side, entangled by Howard and unable to destroy it.

boom!
Tie again!

This All-Star Game was played like the finals, so exciting and thrilling.

The audience actually felt suffocated!

There are 55 seconds left in the game and the score is tied at 134!
Western troops attack.

Wang Yan attracted the defense of three players and did not do it himself, but passed it to his teammate Anthony.

Little Melo did not disappoint Wang Yan. He caught the ball and shot it. Whoosh!
136: 134!

Looking back, Kobe made another three-pointer and overtook by 1 point again!
Both sides were so angry that they showed off their skills.

With 12 seconds left on the clock, the Eastern team attacked.

Spoelstra did not call a timeout, but signaled the players on the court to follow Wang Yan's instructions.

That’s right, any team that has a player like Wang Yan can safely and boldly hand over the command to him.

Whether he does it himself or passes it to his teammates, it is the best option!

Wang Yan made a gesture to Irving and passed the ball to Irving first.

Although he didn't have the ball in his hands, the West team still double-teamed him.

Irving crossed half court, dribbled the ball slowly, and looked at the game clock...

7 seconds…6 seconds…5 seconds…

Suddenly, Wang Yan started!

He pushed James aside and headed for the corner.

Look at this action, this is a three-pointer from the corner.

Kobe, Howard, and James all rushed over.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan circled around the baseline and headed towards the basket.

The players of the Western team finally realized that they were only leading by 1 point, and if Wang Yan scored at the basket, they could still win.

Sure enough, Wang Yan took off at the edge of the penalty area, and his Cavaliers teammate Irving threw the ball over without even looking!
Alley-oop!

2 seconds... 1 seconds...

Just when the game was about to end, Wang Yan made a slam dunk, bang!
The red timing light comes on!
Obviously, this shot worked.

The fans at the scene were so excited that they all stood up and applauded, cheering for the wonderful cooperation between Wang Yan and Irving!

Wang Yan and Owen also hugged each other!
No one doubts that this year's championship will definitely be the strongest contender!
This is such a tacit cooperation.

The big screen above was repeating the slow motion. Owen didn't even look in Wang Yan's direction and even turned sideways.

But when there was only a little over 1 second left, he threw it over.

If there wasn't full trust and tacit understanding between the two, this pass would definitely be a bad choice.

The Western Conference superstars looked at each other, especially Kobe and James, who both smiled bitterly at the same time.

They were really fighting desperately, not just performing, but even so, they could not withstand Wang Yan's fatal blow!
