The All-Star game was very fierce, and in the final moments of regular time, the two sides fought 106-106, and Allen Guo had a chance to kill, but unfortunately he could not score three points in the open position. If Allen Guo can make this three-pointer, the MVP is his.
In the final 53 seconds of extra time, Abdul Shalamu hit a crucial 3-pointer to help the North District complete a 114-112 comeback. In the end, the North All-Star defeated the South All-Star 117-113, Abdu played 30 minutes, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals on 9-of-12 shooting, and won the All-Star MVP! Allen Guo shot 6 of 17, scored 15 points, 7 boards, 14 assists and 7 turnovers.
One thing is to say, this year's CBA All-Star Game is much better than the NBA All-Star Game. Everyone started to defend seriously as soon as they came up, and there were no players paddling on the field. At halftime, the North All-Star led by two points 54-52. UAE and Zhou Peng combined to cut 22 points, the eldest brother did not play again in the second half, and Tao Hanlin in the North District cut 12 points in the half.
A single event was held at halftime, and Xu Jie defeated Allen Guo to win the skills competition. Wang Ruize scored 20 points in the three-point competition, defeated Yuan Shuai and Zhou Qimo, and Wang Ruize won the three-point competition. The most exciting is the dunk contest, where CUBA player Yang Hao, who participated in the wildcard, scored full points in both finals and won the championship without suspense.
Yang Hao buttoned the second in the final and put on Zhao Rui's jersey. When Yang Hao completed the dunk and had already sealed the victory, Zhao Rui was the first to rush into the court and help Yang Hao put on the crown! Yang Hao, from Zhengzhou University, just defended his CUBA Slam Dunk Contest title on March 4 this year. In just one month, he won the CUBA and CBA Slam Dunk Contest, and Yang Hao deserved it!
Speaking of dunks, Allen Guo is not sleepy! He stepped on the trampoline and flew up, but unfortunately it was still not buckled. Allen Guo wanted to buckle again, but the trampoline was removed. He can only play a one-arm clasp to regain face.
I have to say that Allen Guo will really work hard, and all-stars can't do without him. In the third quarter, Wang Zhelin grabbed the front court board, and Allen Guo signaled to pull away, he wanted to defend alone! Wang Zhelin changed direction and burst to the basket, playing 2+1, and both laughed. This is the all-star that fans want to watch, they should play seriously, and they can be entertained when they should be entertained.
Overtime was still difficult to solve, Hu Mingxuan hit two three-pointers, and the Southern All-Star led again. Abdul then hit that big heart 3-pointer, and he assisted Zhang Zhenlin to kill the game, and finally the North All-Star narrowly defeated the Southern All-Star 117-113 in overtime.
After the game, Zhao Jiwei wrote: "Personally, I think this is the most serious All-Star Game for everyone! "The fans feel the same way, this should be the best CBA All-Star Game. Previously, some fans were worried that Abdu could not play All-Star, and with the return of the Xinjiang men's basketball team to the CBA, Abdu not only appeared in the All-Star Game, but also won the MVP!
The more than 10,000 fans at Xiamen's home stadium were very powerful, giving the players the greatest cheers and support. The CBA regular season has also resumed home and away, and everything is getting better. What would you like to say about this year's CBA All-Star?
