February 17, 2008, Oklahoma Ford Center.

Amid the huge cheers of '!' from the Thunder fans at the scene, the much-anticipated All-Star Game officially started. Arenas's wonderful long-distance singles pull-up and Yao Ming's solid hard play under the basket set the stage for this game.

The competition has begun!

As the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Eddie Jordan is under a lot of pressure in this game.

Originally, All-Star Weekend was used for vacation and relaxation.

Now, the Eastern Conference All-Stars have made it a must-win game.

In this world, no head coach can guarantee that his team can win!

Not to mention him, not even his teacher Pat Riley could do it.

Before the start of this game, it was said that the Eastern Conference could easily defeat the Western Conference. But now, looking at the current situation on the court, does it look like the Western Conference All-Stars will be easily defeated?

I saw Howard sitting on Yao Ming's back on the court, and Yao Ming didn't move at all.

Eddie Jordan couldn't bear to look at it.

Howard wanted to beat Yao Ming, but Yao Ming didn't do anything. He just raised his hands high and stood there quietly.

Howard, the number one center in the Eastern Conference, is completely helpless!

The defensive end was blown away, the offensive end was stepped on, the gap was really too big!

The gap between the No. 1 center in the Eastern Conference and the No. 1 center in the league is so big that it’s unbearable to look at!

"It shouldn't be like this?!"

As an experienced person who has played in the NBA for 9 years and coached for 7 years.

He really didn't want to believe that what was happening on the court now was true.

Howard's progress this season has been really great.

Averaging 21 points, 14 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, this is a center with dominant strength in the current NBA.

He really didn't believe that such a player was like a primary school student in front of Yao Ming.

Howard's performance this season can be said to be dominating other centers in the league.

Such a dominant center was easily dominated by Yao Ming?

Are you kidding me?!

Looking at the clumsy Howard on the court, Eddie Jordan frowned.

Could it be?

real?

Regarding this point that O'Neal has been emphasizing, he also does not want to believe it, but...

"hateful!"

Howard is really miserable now!

He is really ready to show off in this year's All-Star game.

For the first time, O'Neal was put on the bench. If he didn't show off well, he would be really sorry for the All-Star jersey he was wearing.

During this year's All-Star Weekend, his performance was indeed very successful.

The biggest news of the All-Star Weekend right now, apart from yes's 58 points in the Rookie Challenge, is what he shouted in front of Jordan in the dunk contest: yes is Superman, and Superman is yes!

Even if Durant's miraculous victory in the Three-Point Shootout Contest was won, he would still be ranked behind him.

In his opinion, as long as he defeats yes in this game, he will become the biggest winner in this year's All-Star Game!

What LeBron James, what Arenas, what yes, the great beast king Dwight Howard is the one who can truly represent loyalty!

Damn, this is different from what I imagined!

Howard reluctantly held Yao Ming behind him, and that was all he could do.

You really can't beat him if you hit him hard!

And my teammates are really not helpful at all.

At least there are people in the Magic who can run for him and help him shoot three-pointers.

Now, looking at the men standing in the circle outside, Howard felt that his dribbling hand was a little unsteady.

James was there with his arms akimbo.

Sun Yue pretended not to see him there, acting like don't pass the ball to me.

Arenas tried to move again to get the ball, but his defender was yes!

Does he dare to pass it on?

In the end, the only one he could pass the ball to was Garnett, whom he hated so much!

During the playoffs between the Magic and the Celtics last year, he and Garnett had an unpleasant quarrel.

Before entering the league, Garnett had always been his idol.

Damn it, he has always known that his idol has a bad mouth.

He has always felt that idols' bad mouth is not a big problem.

But if you really have to put it on yourself, you really can't accept it.

His happy basketball was turned into a sad basketball by Garnett. In the end, he was sent off for choking Garnett.

Hua Q, what should I do now?

Howard really doesn't know what to do now.

He really wasn't this miserable when facing Yao Ming before!

In the past, he could at least use his flexibility to force an attack. The efficiency was not high, but he could still take action.

Now that Yao Ming has lost weight, he has found that his flexibility advantage is not that great anymore.

Beep beep beep!

Just when Howard didn't know what to do, Bald Crawford's whistle sounded.

"Five second violation!"

Seeing the bald-headed Crawford's gesture, the Thunder fans who were still shouting "!" stopped in suffocation.

Damn it, we can actually see a five-second offensive violation during the All-Star Game?!

Not to mention the audience, Howard himself was stunned when he was called for a five-second violation.

Can such a whistle sound in such a game?

Howard looked at the bald Crawford in disbelief.

Crawford ignored Howard's innocent eyes at all, but he enjoyed being the focus of the game!

This time he called Howard a five-second violation, but he was not targeting Howard.

This time Howard played Yao Ming in a post-up, but he only played for five seconds, instead of eight seconds!

No other referee would blow such a whistle during the All-Star Game.

Is he Crawford an ordinary referee?!

"It's too low-level. Howard's mistake is too low-level!"

"He had many opportunities to pass the ball to Garnett, but he chose to hold the ball until the end. I can't think of any reason except that he wanted to use this offense to pay tribute to me!"

Kenny Smith: ...Where's the face?

"The Eastern All-Stars, who are more optimistic about everyone, did not show enough advantages after the game started two minutes, but this is normal. The game has just started. The players of both teams are relatively serious. Both teams

The starting lineups are also close in strength, and the current score of 8 to 4 reflects more on the gap between Yao Ming and Howard."

Kenny Smith is not as shameless as Barkley.

The start of this game was indeed quite incredible.

Although he didn't say it, he did think about the media reports in recent days that Howard was an undercover agent of yes.

He can understand being beaten by Yao Ming. He is Olajuwon's teammate. He knows very well how embarrassed a small-ass center like Howard is when facing a big-ass center. The general was beaten to tears by Olajuwon.

He can also understand that Howard can't beat Yao Ming alone. Howard's offensive skills are on two different levels than those of generals. Even generals can't beat Olajuwon very well in this way, let alone Howard?

But he really couldn't understand that an NBA All-Star starter could make such a mistake.

The professional ethics of professional players is not to bring personal emotions into the game like children.

Even if you don't like Garnett, you can never be so childish.

Is Howard a childish player?

Kenny Smith thinks so.

But no matter how childish he is, he is first and foremost an All-Star level professional player.
