The Fifth Point Guard

Byron Scott came straight to Michael Jordan with a tactical drawing board for one-on-one tactical guidance.

The rest of the players were scattered around, and several main players were seriously watching Scott's final offensive tactics.

O'Neal, McGrady, Jordan, Shentong, Kidd, this is the final lineup.

Let Kidd replace Iverson on the field in order to be able to implement his own tactics in place and ensure that Jordan can create scoring opportunities.

The camera switches back and forth between Jordan chewing gum and Shen Tong with a relaxed face.

Everyone knew that the final attack would definitely be handed over to one of them.

The West didn't have any hands left either.

Duncan, Garnett, Marion, Kobe, Payton, five defensive champions all appeared on the stage.

O'Neal stands outside the line and prepares to serve.

The players in the West implement man-to-man defensive tactics.

Kobe stood next to Jordan, never leaving.

But the Eastern Stars had been prepared for a long time, and Shen Tong took the initiative to step forward, sacrificed himself, and inserted himself into the gap between Kobe and Jordan.

Kobe, who was blocked by Shentong, shouted: "Sean, make up defense, make up defense!"

While Kobe was yelling, Jordan had jumped out of the crowd.

Duncan stood in front of O'Neal and kept waving his arms, while McGrady hugged Garnett tightly.

After Marion heard Kobe's call, he immediately got stuck in the passing route between O'Neal and Jordan.

"here!"

Kidd appeared out of nowhere and asked for the ball.

Seeing that the five-second violation was about to occur, O'Neal immediately passed the ball to Kidd.

Under Payton's close defense, Kidd forced a bloody path and passed the ball to Jordan who was fighting with Marion at the best time. The whole time was only 1 second.

After Jordan got the ball, he hit Marion with his back, and after a dribble, he turned his hands and fell back.

Marion blocked it desperately, and almost threw his body out.

Facing Marion's block, Jordan's ball almost flew out against the opponent's fingertips.

The entire audience held their breath.

Time seemed to be stopped at this moment, everyone stopped their hands, and their eyes slowly turned with the ball rolling in the air.

"Shua!"

Your uncle will always be your uncle!

Jordan's fadeaway jumper is not blown out.

At the last critical moment, almost blocked, Jordan used his iconic fadeaway jumper in the latter part of his career to score two key points for the Eastern Stars!

138-136!

There were only a few seconds left in less than 1:00.

The West Stars have no timeouts.

At the moment when the East star team celebrated the goal and the West star team was dejected, Marion picked up the ball under the basket, and directly threw the ball forward in the posture of throwing thunder.

"The game is not over yet!"

Shen Tong's roar woke up the teammates immersed in the team's lead.

Kobe Bryant has already rushed beyond the three-point line with a tacit understanding. After receiving the pass from Marion, he directly turned around and adjusted to the shooting posture facing the basket.

O'Neal, who has been observing Kobe, blocked Kobe's shot.

In this case, Jermaine O'Neal had no time to think about it.

Blocking is an instinctive reaction.

The moment he stretched out his hand, O'Neill already had some regrets.

He feels that his action is a bit big, and this block may cause a foul.

Just at this critical moment, a figure flew out from behind with heavy breathing.

It's STO!

This guy slapped O'Neal's outstretched giant palm off with his left hand, and slapped the ball in Kobe's hand firmly with a "huh" slap with his right hand!

The final whistle sounded, and the ball in Kobe's hand hadn't even had time to make a shot.

Depressed Kobe slammed the ball hard on the floor.

No way, the ball was not fouled.

Even if you sit on the floor and ask the referee for a free throw with a sad face, it will have no effect.

Kobe was not that kind of player.

"It's dangerous." Little O'Neal let out a long breath, and looked at Shen Tong.

it is more than words.

O'Neill raised his palm and gave Shen Tong a high five.

On the other side, Jordan has been held up high by the stars.

Could there be a better All-Star curtain call than Jordan's last dance, which ended in quasi-game-winning fashion?

In this game, although Jordan only scored 20 points and 5 rebounds, the MVP of the All-Star Game was still awarded to him.

Although Shentong scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, the statistics are very comprehensive, and he blocked Kobe's shot at the last moment, ensuring the team's victory, but at this special moment, the MVP Awarded to Jordan, it can also be regarded as a compliment to the curtain call performance of Jordan's entire career.

When Jordan raised the MVP trophy high, the audience applauded.

The fans all stood up from their seats and applauded for several minutes.

"Shen, this trophy should actually belong to you." Jordan whispered to Shen Tong in private.

"Oh, Michael, since you said that, then I will remember, you owe me a favor, remember to pay it back." Shen Tong said with a smile.

Jordan was clearly in a good mood today.

"No problem, Shin, just call me if you need anything."

In fact, Jordan is very fond of the young player Shen Tong, one is because his playing style has a bit of the charm of his youth, and the other is because of his respect for himself.

Before last year's All-Star Game, Shentong offered to give up the starting position to Jordan, which is not common in American culture.

Being able to do such a thing shows that this young man has respect for himself, and Jordan actually keeps it in his heart.

After the game, Jordan, who led his team to victory and won the MVP, gave another speech affectionately.

He said: "Thank you to all the fans for supporting me in playing basketball. Thank you for your support. I took the torch from my predecessors. Now I want to pass it on to my younger generations. Thank you, fans and lovers."

He then shook hands with the players participating in the All-Star Game one by one.

After the game, a reporter asked Jordan if there was a clear player who could become his "successor" when Jordan mentioned that the torch was handed over from the previous generation to the newcomer.

Jordan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think of any one clear candidate now, but a group of people."

Jordan then mentioned several players by name.

Among them, Shentong ranked first, and Kobe was the second name mentioned, but Jordan also said that Kobe's current achievements helped him walk at the forefront of the team.

And McGrady, Carter, Iverson, O'Neal and rookie Yao Ming are all likely to become the leaders of the next era.

Finally, Jordan once again emphasized that it is very difficult to clearly choose a person now.

With Michael Jordan's last dance in the final All-Star Game of his career.

An era in the NBA is over
