Yao Ming, MVP!

The game continued, and so did Yao Ming's performance.

Because of his personality, Yao Ming could never pull off something like O'Neal dribbling between his legs at the three-point line. But with his all-around skill set, he had no shortage of things to show off.

Even setting aside those Turnaround Layups and drives from the three-point line at the start, he still had some outrageously flashy passes up his sleeve!

One no-look alley-oop pass to Griffin sent the crowd soaring.

Combined with Griffin's midair double-clutch slam that showed off his athleticism, it immediately booked a spot in this year's All-Star Game Top 5 Play!

The facts proved that whenever Yao Ming wanted to show off, he became a completely different person on the All-Star Game stage!

The game continued, and Yao Ming's individual stats kept rising.

At that point, after the initial excitement, the fans' emotions began to shift subtly.

Because they had realized that Yao Ming might win the All-Star Game MVP!

In the past, they would not have thought much of it. Centers had not won MVP often, but it was not unheard of. The most recent one had been The Big Shark, O'Neal.

But at this particular moment, it felt strange.

Especially when they saw Sun Hao and Curry continuously feeding Yao Ming the ball, they realized it was deliberate!

And not only could they do nothing about it, they had to sit there and watch!

This move was downright ruthless!

So, as the game went on, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded in the arena.

The cheers after Yao Ming scored grew fewer and fewer, while every successful East Team possession was met with
