Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 701 Last moment, 23vs24!

......

......

"Shu~"

Three points are like swords, straight into the net!

At 27:18, the point difference was approaching double digits.

James saw the Western team score, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

In just a few minutes, Love showed his rebounding ability, long passing ability, and the most important shooting ability for the Heat.

[If Kevin is on the inside, and Ray and Mario are on the outside...Dwayne and I will have a very wide breakthrough space! ]

James thought so.

However, Love's shortcoming is also well known to the world, and that is defense!

James immediately decided to try how his defense is...

Ever since, in the next round, James asked for a basketball from his teammates, and through the pick-and-roll, replaced Love in front of him.

"hey. bro"

James lowered his center of gravity, and while observing Love's position, he exchanged greetings.

Le Fu smiled and responded politely: "Brother, take it easy."

James nodded with a smile, then showed off his crotch dribble.

But after a few dribbles, the basketball got a little out of hand.

James had to bend down and control the ball with a little embarrassment.

Afterwards, he didn't bother to do any more fancy moves, and directly accelerated and broke through to the right.

Love quickly moved laterally to block, but his footsteps were too slow, and he was passed by James with one step.

Then, Lao Zhan took the third step and went straight to the basket.

Since Yao Ming has already rested, there is no big center in the Western Conference.

James has no scruples, soaring into the sky...

"bang!"

27: 20.

James made a powerful one-handed buckle to help the Eastern team stabilize the situation.

After the ball was scored, Love reluctantly raised his right hand to signal to his teammates that the ball was his problem.

At the same time, in the vip box on the stands, Shen Fei watched the game with great interest.

Love's advantages and disadvantages are fully reflected during this period.

If Howard is replaced by Love, the defense that the Heat are proud of will inevitably weaken a lot.

On the contrary, they will get more offensive space and richer offensive tactics.

In other words, if the deal takes shape, the Heat will sacrifice defense in exchange for offensive capabilities.

[It’s really a deal, Howard’s value is still higher than Love’s, and by the way, it can also increase the depth of the Heat’s bench. ]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

As for whether the Heat will become stronger or weaker after such an operation, it is still unknown.

The only thing that is certain is that it may be easier to play the Rockets by replacing Howard with Love.

No way, who let Howard be restrained to death by Yao Ming...

In general, from the perspective of defeating the Rockets alone, this deal is worth a try.

"If it's Pat Riley, he should have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

"What did you say, fly?"

Ajiali asked curiously.

"It's nothing, the game was pretty good."

Shen Fei smiled.

............

Look back to the game.

For the rest of the first quarter, the two teams played back and forth, but the West always maintained a double-digit lead.

After the first quarter, the score is temporarily fixed at 40:29.

If this score appeared in a certain regular season game, it would be quite high...

But in the All-Star Game, that's definitely on the low side!

Whether it is a professional ball commentator or a fan, they have realized at this moment that the two teams are serious today!

In the second quarter of the game, both teams replaced their starters back on the field.

And Curry's performance also starts from this moment!

He first used the Eastern team to miss a shot, and hit a chasing three-pointer in the fast break.

Subsequently, Curry singled Rose in a positional battle.

With one trick, he dribbled the ball behind his back and changed direction, followed by worshiping Buddha and feinting, followed by a three-point retreat, and sent the ball into the net freely!

These two three-pointers also rewritten the score to 46:29, and the West has already led by 17 points!

At the critical moment, Anthony received a pass from James and made a catch&shoot from the bottom corner...

Also hit!

46:32, this response is too critical!

But before the East team had time to celebrate, Paul received a fast baseline ball from Yao Ming and launched an attack immediately.

After seeing Durant going down fast, cp3 threw the ball forward vigorously with his right hand...

The ball bounced off the floor, passed through a crowd of Eastern Conference stars, and found Durant with precision.

Kd didn't need to make any adjustments after receiving the ball, he took his long legs and made a three-step layup!

James struggled to take off to block the block, but Durant pulled a small lever in the air, successfully avoided the defense, and sent the ball into the basket!

At 48:32, the West team continued to lead by a big score!

James also fully entered the competitive mode at this time.

The smile on his face at the start of the game has disappeared, and now he just wants to catch up with the score!

Ross also had the same idea as him.

Rose played more restrained today, and Wei has not yet shown her breakthrough ability.

In addition, after the start of the second half, he was hit twice by Curry... Rose's competitiveness has long been burning!

After the offensive and defensive transition, he and Anthony played a pick-and-roll tactic at the top of the arc.

Using the cover, Rose tore apart the defense of the West with a change of direction.

He drove at full speed, went straight to the basket, and finally jumped high to face Yao Ming.

Dayao raised his arms high and jumped vertically.

He does not pursue direct blocking, as long as he can interfere with the opponent and complete the frame protection, that is the defensive effect he wants!

In the next moment, Rose only felt that his vision was blocked, and he couldn't even see the position of the basket.

In this case, if you continue to force the shot, the hit rate will definitely not be high.

Ross didn't go up.

Relying on his excellent waist and abdomen strength, he tensed his body in the air, then turned around and observed his teammates' running positions.

This method of throwing the body in the air and then looking for the passing route is very error-prone.

But Rose is very good at making good passes in this situation.

This time, the same is true.

James cuts to the basket in a timely manner, giving Rose a chance to pass the ball.

The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village.

Rose flicked his wrist and passed the ball to James.

At this time, Yao Ming has not yet landed.

......

"bang!"

James took off on one foot and bombed the basket!

After the wonderful dunk, Lao Zhan was about to vent his emotions when he saw Yao Ming was about to serve the baseline again.

"Speechless..."

James made a complaint, then turned and devoted himself to defense.

Paul advanced quickly with the ball.

The fiery Curry is on the left, "Reaper" Durant is in the bottom corner on the right, and the black Mamba is asking for the ball at the top of the arc...

These three great gods have a fatal attraction to defenders.

The five Eastern Conference All-Stars completely forgot about Yao Ming who followed up in the middle.

Paul made a fancy crotch pass and passed the ball to Dayao behind him.

Howard realized that Yao Ming might be about to shoot a three-pointer, so he rushed to the outside line.

But Paul has rich experience. After passing the ball, he moved his body to the left and protected his crotch with both hands, firmly blocking Yao Ming.

Dayao made a decisive three-pointer.

At the same time, Howard was blocked on the road ahead, did not brake for a while, and hit Paul.

"Beep!"

"Shu~"

At the same time as the whistle sounded, the basketball hit the net!

Howard spread his hands innocently.

James and Wade immediately signaled to the referee that the ball was fouled first, and the three-pointer does not count!

The referee wanted to make a penalty immediately, but there were huge cheers from the audience.

The referee thought for a moment before announcing that he was going to review the tape.

"It should not be counted, let me confirm again."

As he spoke, he walked towards the technical table.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I look at it.

Before Paul was knocked down, Yao Ming cared about pressing his wrist and completed the shot!

"Three points count, and Paul will add a penalty."

The referee announced to the technical platform.

After the on-site director conveyed the results, the Huaxia Times Arena burst into applause!

Paul walked to the free throw line, made steady hits and added penalties, and continued to expand the point difference!

In the minutes that followed, James and Bryant were the protagonists.

Here, James made a mid-range shot.

Looking back, Kobe hit with his back and hit Wade on the head and fell back!

Here, James tanked forward, causing Yao Ming to foul and hit one of two free throws.

20 seconds later, Kobe turned around and passed Anthony, went to the basket, and an elegant pull-bar layup to avoid Howard's block, and sent the ball into the net!

......

For several rounds in a row, 23vs24 became the main theme of the game.

However, although the two played lively, they basically shot two-pointers, and the success rate of their offenses was similar.

This also means that the point difference between the two teams has not changed much.

At the end of the second quarter, the Western team continued to lead the Eastern team with 80:65!

............

At halftime, Yao Ming approached Mike Malone and told him what he wanted to rest in the second half.

Dayao has been very Buddhist this season.

He doesn't have much interest in personal honors, just wants to stay healthy and shine in the playoffs and soon the Olympics.

Therefore, for this kind of game that has nothing to do with the record, it is enough to play half a game.

As for Shen Fei wanting the western team to win today's game...

Let the boys in Curry complete this task!

Anyway, there are so many stars in the All-Star Game, there must be someone who can top it.

Coach Malone nodded after hearing this, expressing his understanding.

Players with the style of Yao Ming and Duncan are indeed not suitable for the All-Star Game.

Ever since, at the beginning of the second half, Shark Bynum replaced Yao Ming and became the starting center in the Western Conference!

............

Yao Ming is not on the court, Howard's dominance gradually appears!

As soon as the third quarter came up, he took off offensive rebounds in a row and used the second offense to score for the Eastern team.

In addition to that, Howard started to fall to the low post more.

Bynum can't defend him alone, and the Western team needs to double-team to limit the performance of Warcraft.

And this also gave the East team more opportunities to make outside shots.

It's a pity that James, Wade, and Rose are not players who are good at shooting.

Anthony, the only one with superb shooting skills, is always guarded in front of him.

Therefore, Howard passed a lot of good shots.

However, the Eastern team's open three-point shooting rate was too low, which not only failed to narrow the point difference, but was also expanded by the opponent.

In desperation, Eastern coach Spoelstra could only make substitutions.

He replaced Wade with "Single Joe" Joe Johnson to increase his outside shooting ability.

This substitution, really achieved unexpected results.

In the next game, Rose and James took turns attacking with the ball.

And Anthony and Joe Johnson are divided into two bottom corners to open up the offensive space!

The western team did not dare to assist in the defense easily, so James and Rose's breakthrough became much easier.

Coupled with the absence of Yao Ming, Bynum's ability to protect the frame is not top-level...

The Eastern Army's attack instantly became mercury-laden and unstoppable!

In 3 minutes, they played a 7:0 spurt and quickly approached the point difference.

Fortunately, Curry and Kobe relied on their personal abilities to stabilize the situation.

After the third quarter, the score was fixed at 120:110, and the Eastern team was still 10 points behind.

In the last quarter of the game, the competition between the two sides became more and more intense.

Due to the excellent strength of the players on the field, the intensity of the game is naturally at its fullest.

Countless fans on the scene and in front of the TV, all watched with sweaty palms!

The two teams were deadlocked until the last 3 minutes.

Relying on "Truth" Pierce's sudden outburst in the fourth quarter, the Eastern team chased the point difference to only 5 points!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mike Malone quickly invoked a timeout.

In the first round after the timeout ended, Paul's mid-range emergency stop jumper missed.

Howard overwhelmed Bynum, received the rebound, and handed the ball to Rose beside him.

The rose turned into a blue bullet (the east wore blue jerseys, the west wore red), wrapped in destructive energy, and shot straight into the opponent's hinterland!

On the way, Curry stepped forward to block him, but was missed by Rose.

Kobe backed all the way, and finally stopped in front of the three-second zone, his feet slightly bent, waiting for Rose's arrival.

Rose went forward bravely, facing Kobe and going to attack the basket!

Zeng Jin's Peter Pan, of course, has good jumping ability.

Even after the invasion of the years, Kobe can still jump to a considerable height as long as he has enough take-off time!

The two faced off in the air.

In the end, the punch was afraid of being young, and Rose relied on a longer time in the air to complete the shot when Kobe was falling, and scored the ball with difficulty!

130:127, the point difference came within one round!

Watching the ball fall from the basket, Kobe angrily smashed the ball hard to the ground.

Anyone can see that the Black Mamba is angry!

Ever since, after the offensive and defensive transition, Curry passed the ball directly to Kobe after dribbling the ball through half court, and he began to run without the ball.

James stood in front of Kobe.

Durant wanted to step forward to set up a cover for Corvo, but the latter waved him away.

Then, Kobe started to attack with fans in his mouth!

He dribbled the ball with his right hand, lowered his center of gravity, and slowly approached James.

After shipping to the three-point line, Kobe suddenly started and broke through to the right.

James moved laterally to block, and the speed was extremely fast!

Kobe seemed to have expected it, and immediately changed direction ahead of time and pulled the ball back.

This action looks simple, but it is very powerful.

Rao is as defensive as James, and he was also pulled away by a distance.

Without hesitation, Kobe immediately collected the ball and took off, raised the arc, and shot back!

The moment the ball left his hand, James' hand appeared in front of his eyes.

[so close! ]

Curry on the side thought to himself.

Then, the basketball left the high-speed spin, drew a rainbow-like arc in the air, and flew towards the basket...
