Popovich asked for a timeout. At this time, the Western team's offense was a bit chaotic and inefficient. At this time, Popovich didn't want to lose either.

Yu Jia sighed: "This game is a real game, and you can know it by looking at the player's playing time." Rondo, who performed poorly, barely had a chance to play, and Pierce and Garnett were replaced for not working hard defensively. ”

"Zhou Xuan and James stole the limelight from Kobe, Yao Ming played 11 minutes and only scored 2 points, and no one passed the ball to him at all." Zhang said reasonably.

Yu Jia smiled: "Yao Ming's style is really not suitable for the All-Star Game, and Nowitzki doesn't play much, but they can help the Mavericks win." ”

At this time, several newcomers in the star game who wanted to perform also lost the **** who took the initiative to ask for help, and the lack of popularity is so cruel. When Bosh was the boss of the Raptors, he averaged 20+10 per game and had to canvass for himself.

D'Antoni said: "Zhou controls the ball, Amare blocks and dismantles, if there is no chance to break through, attract the defense to pass to the outside, LeBron will play a second block and dismantle cooperation." Don't force shots, shoot as close to the basket as possible to ensure efficiency. Shrink when defending, their three-point shot is not accurate, and pay attention to side help blocks. Dwayne (Wade) plays, Ray rests. ”

The contraction did not include Zhou Xuan, he only had to stare at Paul on the periphery. This is what the Knicks say every time, and D'Antoni didn't tell Zhou Xuan, he must know what to do. At this time, D'Antoni doesn't want to rely on three-pointers, Wade has rested for a while, his physical strength is fine, he can break through, and it doesn't matter if he can't score and make fouls.

Popovich drew a few times on the board and said, "They were very tight on the perimeter and tried to hit the basket as much as possible. The speed of return defense must be fast, the offensive of the defensive position must be contracted, and do not rashly reach out and steal. At this point, you don't want to lose, do you? Blake (Griffin), you have speed, don't pounce too far forward, especially after the misalignment, don't want to break Zhou Xuan's ball, follow him. ”

Griffin nodded, the fans wanted to see him, but not to see him mess things up.

The race is on.

In the West, Kobe Bryant continues to stay on the court, Durant is still there, and the Spurs have long been rested. Popovich is happy to let his rival stars perform more.

Kobe Bryant caught the ball and broke through and was entangled by Wade, and he didn't have a chance to pass it again, after a few passes. Seeing that the 24-second time was up, Durant pulled out a three-point shot and missed under James' interference. Gasol grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, a little far from the basket, he dribbled with his back, and chose to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant on the perimeter against Xiaosi.

Another 24-second offensive opportunity, and the West played patiently. Kobe Bryant passes to Paul, low post and Gasol runs to the right side without the ball screen, and Paul passes. Kobe flickered, Bosh stretched out his arm, Kobe Bryant held the ball to the baseline and broke through, the air lever dodged James' block, and forced the basketball to score. The two had physical contact in the air, and the referee's whistle sounded, 2+1!

Zhang Li shouted: "Good shot, Kobe Bryant scored a key goal to help the team take the lead again." At the critical moment, it still depends on him. ”

Yu Jia said: "Kobe's ability to stay in the air is still the top in the league, he can do two actions in the air, which is very stretched, and once he starts, it is difficult to defend." Today he also had a high hit percentage. He shot 13-of-27 from the field, shooting nearly 50 percent. ”

Bryant also hit free throws, 8-of-9, 136-149.

After scoring, Bryant clenched his fist and ran back, and the home fans cheered together.

D'Antoni doesn't call a timeout and lets the players adjust themselves. Zhou Xuan brought to the frontcourt, and Paul began to press. He has lost to Zhou Xuan many times and doesn't want to lose in the Star Game.

James helped Zhou Xuan complete a block in the backcourt, dodged Paul, and then ran to the other side, Durant switched defenses, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball to James.

This time it became a misalignment, and James squeezed Paul to the three-point line. The difference in size between the two was too big, and Durant hurried to help defend James.

James passed to Zhou Xuan again, and Paul chased after the defense, but the distance was too far...... Zhou Xuan received the ball in the vacancy, made a 70-degree jumper on the left side, Paul jumped with all his strength to block it, jumped very high, but the ball had already flown to the basket and entered!

This is Zhou Xuan's fifth three-pointer today and his 37th personal score. 139 to 139. The goal was James' 10th assist, and he has a triple-double.

Barkley said: "It's a draw again, it looks like it's going to be overtime. ”

Smith said: "One of the more classic star games was when Michael retired from the Wizards, and the two sides played two overtimes, and I don't know if they can play like that today." ”

The East strengthened its defense, shrunk very hard, Paul couldn't make a pull-up jumper, and the rebound was picked up by Wade. The East is also not in a hurry to play fast, falling into positions and fighting, constantly sharing the ball and looking for opportunities.

The west also contracted, Zhou Xuan broke through and encountered the bag, and could only pass out, seeing that the 24-second offensive time was approaching, Wade and Bosh blocked and ran, and James passed the ball to Wade. The latter turned around and made a jumper, which was deflected wide by Kobe Bryant's interference.

Kobe Bryant's defense has already fought hard, and with the honor in his hands, he can't let the boiled duck fly. In the last few minutes, he showed the spirit of playing in the finals.

On the western offense, Kobe Bryant and Gasol ran without the ball cover, received a pass from Paul on the right side, shook it, and broke through to the inside. Wade followed the side defense, and before he knew what was going on, the referee's whistle blew.

There have been 4 fouls in the Eastern Conference in a single quarter, and Bryant went to the free throw line. It was an inexplicable blow penalty, the Lakers were at home, and the referee gave Kobe Bryant two free throws.

Bryant hit both free throws. 139 to 141.

Wade frowned and looked for the referee's theory, but the referee ignored it.

Van Gundy laughed: "It's rare to have a dissatisfaction with a penalty in a star game, and to find a referee to theorize. Watching the replay, Wade really didn't move in his hands, just followed by physical contact. The referee became the protagonist. ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "The referee may have been blocked from seeing at that moment and didn't see clearly. ”

Van Gundy complained in his heart, if he wanted that, he shouldn't blow it.

In the eastern attack, Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, went to the front court to cover Paul and passed the ball to Stadameyer in the middle. Smalls catches the ball and jumps, but unfortunately misses it, and Gasol takes the rebound.

The East also defended an offense, but Griffin grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt and pulled up the basket to dunk. It's a pity that Stadameyer is right in front of him, and both of them are very explosive. Xiao Si jumped up and pressed on the ball with one hand, and pulled the ball out of the air. Kobe Bryant picked up the basketball in the air, pulled the ball up, and stuck out his tongue to make a layup.

Wade stretched out his right hand from the side, cut it accurately on the basketball, and slapped the ball off. Kobe Bryant's rhythm was disrupted and he almost killed himself by biting his tongue, and Wade picked up the basketball and gave it to James.

James received the ball in the front court and singled Durant, rushed to the inside and jumped to the basket and missed, the referee whistle sounded again, and the defense was fouled.

James went to the free throw line, and the referee was trying to find a balance for his misjudgment. Durant and James had physical contact, but reached out to interfere with the shot and didn't hit the hand.

James shot higher than Kobe Bryant, but the two scored about the same, and the important reason was the free throw shooting percentage.

James likes to put on a show, and used to kiss his left arm and then his right arm before making a free throw. I learned this from Kidd, and I guess it's cool to watch Kidd kiss the basket. It's a pity that James' free throw shooting rate was only more than 70 percent, and he fainted again at the critical moment today. He missed the first penalty and the second to miss a good chance to equalise. 140 to 141.

There are only 29 hours left. 3 seconds. The West held the pace, and Paul let everyone pull away, killing time.

As long as the ball hit a three-point shot, it would be difficult for the East team to recover, and Paul dribbled to 6 seconds left on the offensive time and gave it to Kobe Bryant, who ran out of the line. Kobe Bryant turned to the frame and played a block with Gasol, he dribbled the ball under his crotch to the right side, distanced himself from Bosh, and made a pull-up jump shot.

The fans outside the court let out exclamations, but it was James who let go of the middle and Durant rushed to Kobe Bryant and jumped with all his strength from the side. Bryant only needs to send the ball to the middle at this time, and it will be an empty space. But he didn't, it was his home stadium and he wanted to put it all together with a perfect jumper.

It's a pity that he passed the Bosh and ignored the side. As soon as the ball was thrown, James slapped the ball into the bottom corner.

Zhou Xuan defended Paul in that position and took the opportunity to get the basketball.

was blocked at the last moment, Kobe Bryant was extremely unhappy, but he was helpless.

Zhou Xuan didn't attack after getting the basketball, and gestured to ask for a timeout. He's experienced and doesn't have a lot of time, but it's enough for them to finish an attack.

D'Antoni thought about it and decided to let James go to the throw-in, two inside blocks, help Zhou Xuan get the ball and then cut the inside. As long as they have a two-point point, they can overtake, of course, it is safer to play two-point shots. When it was time to play, D'Antoni still said a few words in Zhou Xuan's ear, and Zhou Xuan nodded.

Popovich continued to arrange a compression defense, and it was crucial to stabilize the interior at the last moment, and never let the opponent break through to the layup at the last time. James was 0-of-3 from three-point range today, and most of his scores were breakthroughs, so it didn't matter if he could shoot. Zhou Xuan could shoot, and Popovich arranged for Paul to go to the main defense.

"Chris, you must be strict without the ball, don't let Zhou Xuan catch the ball, I believe you can do it." Popovich has a tall guard at his command, but both of them have been resting too long and it's not a good idea to come up and play defensive when it matters.

There are still 6 more in time. 4 seconds, enough time to complete an attack.

Everyone stands in a straight line. Stadameyer helped Zhou Xuan block Paul, and James took a sideways step, looking ready to give it to Zhou Xuan, with a wave of his hands. Durant, who was in charge of interference, jumped up, but the ball didn't get out, James took the ball and stepped back, and he made a feint from outside bounds, which went against D'Antoni's tactics.

When Zhou Xuan got rid of Durant and was about to get the ball, Bosh also got rid of Griffin and rushed to the basket.

Griffin didn't score a point when he came on the court, and he missed someone, the most critical moment. James threw the ball directly to the basket with both hands, and Bosh, who was not very noticeable throughout the court, jumped up, took the ball with both hands on his left side, drifted to make a basket, and scored a cricket. 142 to 141.

The two stars of the Heat cooperated and threw a quasi-lore, and Zhou Xuan was not the only one who could shoot key shots.
