In the morning All-Star training, many fans came to watch and cheer for their favorite stars.

The east and west are separated, and the eastern stars practice first in the morning. In contrast, the Eastern Starlight was a little dimmer, and their training ended early. Many newcomers couldn't let go, and Iverson went to the sidelines for an interview after shooting a few baskets as a veteran.

Only Wade, James, Howard, and Harris played more energetically, and after the event, they practiced long-range shooting in the midfield. Howard's arm strength was amazing, he could shoot while sitting, and he also hit the shot, which caused cheers from the fans.

After the training of the Eastern stars, the western stars immediately went on the court, and they were much more energetic, with Zhou Xuan and Paul frequently sending high balls to their teammates and dunks. Nowitzki and Gasol, who have poor bounce power, watched from the sidelines. The protagonist of this competition must still be the one who can break through and dunk.

During training, many fans called Zhou Xuan's name, he has a high popularity, and many Suns fans regard him as Nash's successor, a high-IQ player with average quality but who can play basketball well. After the rookie game reversed and won the challenge, Zhou Xuan's popularity continued to rise.

The staff is also at any time to ask David? Stern reported on Zhou Xuan's situation.

The president was very satisfied with Zhou Xuan's performance, and the interaction with the fans was perfect. After arriving in Phoenix, he didn't go out of the way to fool around, just stayed with his girlfriend, sat with Yao Ming when he was in the audience, and respected his predecessors. Although Zhou Xuan didn't think too much about it, Stern believes that the two have more contact together, which will help complete the handover of the Chinese basketball flag.

After the training, the bus picked up the stars and took them back to the hotel.

Nike staff contacted Zhou Xuan and sent the latest combat boots. The young man in charge of delivering the shoes was still his fan, took a photo with him, asked for a few autographs, and said that he would watch the game in the evening.

In the evening, the highlight of All-Star Weekend finally begins.

Dancing seems to have become a tradition when players come out, and this time the starters were more serious, only to reach a climax when the last substitute came on.

O'Neill comes in with a group of masked dancers for a breakdance. O'Neill also wore a mask and was the one leading the dancer. He was in the Suns before, and today he is half of his home court, and the fans applauded.

Western coach Phil? Jackson's tactics were simple, Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, Stoudmire covered, Duncan was in the low post, and Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki, who started in place of Yao Ming, ran to look for opportunities. How to play, the players on the field look at it.

Zhou Xuan felt that it was really easy to win the game, there were five people on the court in the East, only James was a little sure of his three-point shot, and the shooting rate in the regular season was less than 40%, how could they play with compressing the defense? But the All-Star Game generally doesn't compress the defense, which can seriously affect the spectacle. Jackson arranged for people to be marked, and Zhou Xuan faced Iverson.

The west is an absolute big man lineup, so it is necessary to focus on positional battles. Zhou Xuan felt very excited, because his partners were all people with strong offensive power, and Duncan was bad.

Was the Eastern Conference starter Dwight voted by the fans? Howard, Kevin? Garnett, LeBron? James, Dwayne? Wade, Aaron? Iverson. Coach Mike? Brown arranged for James to play forward, and Iverson was only responsible for carrying the ball through half the court and then cutting in for opportunities.

The game got on, and Howard won with a jump ball and the East took the lead.

Iverson remembered the previous game against the Warriors, Zhou Xuan's ability to break through was beyond his imagination, this time he didn't plan to perform in a heads-up way, and gave James at the top of the arc after half court, Nowitzki defended alone.

Garnett stepped forward to cover, James broke through on the right side with the ball, Stoudeyere was slow to change defense, James easily held the ball past him to the basket, and completed the iconic one-handed split dunk on the first offense! 0 to 2.

The emotions of the audience were aroused at once.

Western attack, Zhou Xuan went to the frontcourt, Stadamire came out to cover, he dodged Iverson on the left side, and Garnett's change of defense was still very timely.

Even when it comes to the All-Star Game, Garnett's defense is already a habit in his bones, and he won't easily miss people. Zhou Xuan took a step to the side with the ball, and handed it to Stodameyer in the middle.

Iverson didn't care that much defensively in the All-Star Game, and he's now in an awkward position with the Pistons, coming here just to go through the motions, and not having the same desire to perform or win as he did back then. He's even a little pessimistic, feeling that no matter how he performs, he's a supporting role, because the Pistons' record is here.

When Stadamire started, Iverson didn't get in front of him in time.

"Little Overlord" received the ball in the middle and entered the penalty area, his muscles were tense, he jumped high, and it was also a tomahawk-style split, this kind of ball Howard did not dare to go up easily to make up for the defense, and the star game is not a place to play life. 2 to 2.

Attacking in the East, James received the ball and passed to Wade, and Bryant interfered on the perimeter. Wade didn't rely on cover, changed direction with the ball and went down the middle and passed it to Garnett. Garnett's high position is very strong, relying on his height to observe his back, and giving the empty cut James at close range.

Stoudamire was slow to change the defense again, James made a move of "chasing the wind and catching the shadow" from the opponent's side, took the ball to attract Duncan's supplemental defense, threw the ball high, and then Howard smashed the ball into the basket with a "cloud falling" of the clouds! 2 to 4.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half court to observe the situation around him, looking for the best opportunity.

Bryant leaned on Duncan on the right side to cover the empty cut, and Zhou Xuan immediately passed the ball over Iverson's head. Bryant received the ball and dribbled to pull the ball up, facing Howard with a small pull-up rod in the air and scoring on the basketball. 4 to 4.

In the next round, the west subconsciously compressed the defense. It's not a standing joint defense, but the Eastern offense relies too much on breakthroughs, causing them to shrink, James bursts in and points out, Wade misses three-point shots, the rebound is got by Duncan, and Kobe Bryant and Zhou Xuan go down the fast break together.

Duncan knew that Zhou Xuan wanted an assist, so he passed to him first.

Zhou Xuan quickly passed the half court with the ball and did not rush to pass to Kobe. The person who defended Kobe Bryant was James, and he didn't feel very sure. Wait until the teammates cross the half, distribute the ball to Nowitzki, and Wade is the main defense on the perimeter. Nowitzki received the ball with his back and turned to the middle, with his left foot as the axis, and made a trick "Golden Rooster Independence".

This is a step-back jumper with one leg raised and one leg powerful, the action is ugly enough, but Nowitzki relies on this move to dominate the league, it is almost impossible to be blocked, and his wrist is soft and can ensure the shooting rate, and the ball is hollow into the net. 6 to 4.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan's opening performance was very eye-catching, assisting his teammates to score in a row, and the west played very smoothly." ”

Yu Jia said: "Have you noticed? Today, Zhou Xuan is playing with a smile on his face, which is different from his usual expression, and a fan just sent a text message: 'It turns out that Zhou Xuan can laugh on the field'. His usual expression was so cold. ”

Attacking in the East, Iverson passed the ball in the first half and then stood aside and watched. James and Garnett played a pick-and-roll combination and returned the pass to the middle. However, this did not form a dislocation, because the small forward of the Western Army was Nowitzki. Garnett passes Wade again, and Wade hangs to Howard.

"Warcraft" singled "Stone Buddha" on the right side, took a step with his back to the ball, shook his right shoulder slightly, turned to the baseline and shot the board, Duncan interfered, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Stoudemire got the rebound.

Zhou Xuan retreated to receive the ball, went to the front court and Stadameyer blocked and dismantled in the high position, dodging Iverson to the right side, Garnett didn't want to see Stodameyer's easy dunk, didn't change the defense, and Iverson didn't chase hard.

What kind of defensive intensity is this, if I don't pass the ball and shoot more, maybe I can score 30 points. Zhou Xuan thought to himself, and the 60-degree emergency stop jump shot on the right side entered the net hollow. 8 to 4.

Eastern offense, James received the ball and handed it to Wade, Wade broke through with the ball on the side, jumped to the basket in the move, and scored a one-handed basketball shot. 8 to 6.

Zhou Xuan has watched Wade play like this several times, and it seems to be reluctant, but in fact, the hit rate is very high, and he has specially practiced. He also wants to have his own tricks, once the team is passive, he can stand up and steal points. He took this action to heart, and was ready to give it a try when he had time.

Dribbling to the frontcourt, Zhou Xuan still looked for cover first. High-level blocking and dismantling is the most difficult tactic to defend, Delon and Boozer made Rockets fans uncomfortable for several years, Yao Ming defended Boozer and leaked Delon, and changed defense to leak the middle, which was uncomfortable. Stadameyer is better suited to this tactic than Randolph because he is more explosive and faster.

Wade stepped forward from the side to help defend, and Zhou Xuan immediately distributed the ball to Kobe, allowing his teammates to get an open space. Kobe Bryant made an empty three-point shot and hollowed into the net. 11 to 6.

The East sent a baseline ball and immediately counterattacked, trying to complete the attack before the big man in the West fell into position, Iverson passed to Wade, the Flash ran through the half court with the ball, and as soon as he entered the three-point line in the middle, he jumped to the inside with the ball, Duncan stood in time to hold the position, Wade saw that the shooting space was blocked, and chose to pass to the periphery, Kobe, who had just been left behind by Wade, killed halfway and cut off the pass to Iverson.

Iverson didn't cut inside on the perimeter, giving Bryant a chance to perform.

Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball himself through the half court and found that his teammates had not come up yet, so he handed it to Zhou Xuan steadily. Kobe Bryant also knew that Zhou Xuan could send good balls.

Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled Nowitzki this time, and then broke through on the right side. James immediately understood Zhou Xuan's intentions, let Nowitzki and Iverson misplace, that would definitely go in. So he didn't change his defense, and Wade didn't defend again, following Kobe.

Garnett was forced to block Zhou Xuan from the outside of the three-second zone, Duncan smartly moved out from the left, and Howard stood under the basket for fear of a slam dunk from Stoudemire inside. None of this escaped Zhou Xuan's eyes, he knew who was the biggest shooting man now, and transferred the ball to Duncan on the left side during the run.

This kind of horizontal pass is prone to mistakes, but everyone but Iverson is on target. It was a half-high ball, and Iverson wanted to steal but flew overhead and didn't have time to jump.

Duncan made a trick in the open space, hitting a 45-degree angled shot. 13 to 6.

The Western Stars were extremely efficient offensively and took the lead from the start.
