"Magic" Johnson commented on the halftime: "Zhou Xuan has 6 points and 15 assists, and it seems that he has won the MVP. The current top scorer in the West is Stoudamire with 14 points, his playing time is about the same as Zhou Xuan, and Kobe Bryant also has 12 points, and today's MVP must be produced between these three. ”

Van Gundy said: "I am optimistic about Zhou Xuan. He's just seven away from 22 assists, and as long as he plays like he did in the first half, it shouldn't be difficult for him, provided he gets playing time. He showed his super playmaking skills in the rookie challenge before, I think Phil? Jackson wouldn't let him sit off the court all the time, which would cause displeasure from the crowd outside the court. ”

Today ESPN won big on the broadcast. Without Barkley, TNT on the side Kenny? Smith, Reggie? Miller, Chris? Webb's combo commentary is a bit boring. The only thing that makes Johnson a little depressed is that his record is about to be broken.

CCTV5 is conducting fan voting, sending text messages to predict Zhou Xuan's final assists, and ten lucky viewers will be selected to win James and Kobe's star boots.

Some netizens left a message saying that they were more interested in the dark gold sneakers worn by Zhou Xuan's feet.

Yu Jia explained: "This is Nike's exclusive combat boots just launched for Zhou Xuan, named 'Mage Generation', which is said to be inspired by the equipment in online games, and wearing these shoes can increase the passing attributes. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "This sneaker is very suitable for Zhou Xuan, his passing is fantastic." Young people like to play games, and Zhou Xuan is also the youngest of all NBA players now, I believe there will be many people who like it, and sneakers of this color are not common, or they have not been seen before. ”

"However, I believe that fans would prefer Zhou Xuan to wear sneakers with bouncing attributes. I don't know how many people are waiting to see him dunk for the first time. Yu Jia complained about his bounce.

In fact, there are sneakers that can improve bounce. The APL brand's "Concept1" is, but it faces a more glaring and realistic problem: the shoes are so good at bouncing and jumping so good that they affect the fairness of basketball games that the NBA officially issued a statement banning players from wearing Concept1 to games.

According to the shoe's owner, APL's own lab research, the shoe, called Concept1, has an amazing bouncing assist design. The function is no different from a trampoline or a springboard, which basically stores energy and releases it at once, which is like a cheat in a basketball game. Coupled with the fact that the name of this technique is so straightforward and brainless, it is obviously to tell people that I have a spring in this shoe and I can run faster and jump higher than you, which is absolutely intolerable in the NBA.

However, on the flip side, the NBA's ban has also become the best advertisement for Concept1, and although it is illegal to wear it on the court, those who are interested can buy it to be cool on the street basketball court.

"Boy, okay, I really didn't expect you to be able to get this kind of data in half the game." In the locker room, Duncan smiled.

"It's all because you're attacking."

As long as there are attacking players around him, Zhou Xuan is confident to deliver assists. This is the purest point guard, a teammate, and he is also very efficient in shooting, making a total of 4 shots and hitting 3 of them.

Zhou Xuan noticed that Kobe was communicating something with Jackson, and Duncan looked over there and asked, "Guess what he's talking about?" ”

"I don't guess this, it doesn't matter."

Maybe he wants to play a triangle offense, change his tactics and not continue to block and pick, so it will be a little more troublesome for him to get an assist, because the triangle offense is a star singles tactic. However, in this kind of game, the triangle attack is obviously not a good option. Who wants to watch Gasol's boring strategy and mid-range shot, Gasol doesn't attack, and then it will become Kobe Bryant's single.

After a while, when arranging the tactics, Jackson once again emphasized the offensive mode of Zhou Xuan and Paul controlling the ball, and the others running and cutting into the air.

Eastern Mack? Brown didn't have much to say about tactics and let the players play whatever they wanted. Garnett and Howard don't play together, and there is a guy on the inside. The only trouble is the low post defense, and Brown is really embarrassed to let James go to the low post defense as a blue-collar worker. Only Lewis and Pierce can do the work.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhou Xuan sat on the court, Kobe, O'Neal, and Gasol, the three new and old partners of the Lakers played together, and the other two were Paul and Nowitzki.

There are too many big men in the west, and as long as the defense is compressed, the eastern troops can only shoot on the outside, and they are not allowed. With this trick, they fought without pressure. O'Neal played after he came on the court, and also used a "crotch" to play Howard, which detonated the audience.

Regardless of whether the Sharks can still help the team win, his performance ability is the strongest among the stars. And Howard became the most depressed person this weekend, and Superman was not there.

Nowitzki played for a while and was replaced by Anthony, and Stoudamire also replaced O'Neal, and the Sharks played very well today, scoring 17 points in the third quarter, which was very efficient.

After playing 7 minutes, Bryant scored 21 points, surpassing Stoudamire. The home fans and the Chinese fans in front of the TV are a little unbearable. This is the home court of the Suns, Kobe Bryant has pulled out three points from the outside again and again, and the ball will basically not pass out of his hands again, and he will go on his own. Stoudamire, on the other hand, only made eight shots in total.

As the All-Star Game assist record holds, "Magic" Johnson said: "When will it be replaced by Zhou Xuan?" If he played so well and didn't get a record-breaking assist stat in the second half because he didn't play, I don't think the fans would be satisfied. ”

"Zen Master" Jackson is looking for a balance, Kobe Bryant wants to play more, so he let him play a little longer, and a few people who do not steal the ball are arranged on the court, and the main offensive points are Kobe and O'Neal.

After 7 minutes of play, there were substitutions on the field. Zhou Xuan, Randolph, Roy, and Anthony played the four, and only Stadamier was left in the west. This is also Zhou Xuan's favorite lineup, whether it is fast break or outside shooting, he can play.

As soon as Zhou Xuan got on, the fans applauded vigorously.

Zhang Li said: "Zhou Xuan is really popular, and there are many Chinese female stars on the sidelines to greet him, and his fame is no lower than that of these people in the entertainment industry." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Because of Zhou Xuan's relationship, the number of domestic female fans has doubled, and it has never been before that so many people came to this star game, maybe he has the opportunity to shoot commercials with celebrities when he is advertising endorsements, Yi Jianlian has cooperated with Liu Yifei at the beginning." ”

At this time, the camera happened to be given to several famous Hollywood directors on the sidelines, and the stars' eyes shifted instantly, and the eyes of the directors were much more eager than Zhou Xuan......

Because of Zhou Xuan and Paul, Billups didn't play much time and basically didn't have a chance to possess the ball.

Roy usually plays blocking and dismantling tactics in the Trail Blazers, and today he can only be a more pure scoring guard, mainly running and cutting.

Randolph was in the low post, Stadameyer pulled out to cover, there were two strong interior support, and Zhou Xuan was the absolute core on the court.

Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Randolph and easily hit Lewis in the low post. Lewis's weight defense is unqualified and can only shoot three-pointers. Howard just stood low to grab rebounds, and as the score widened, he didn't have much motivation to defend. The fans chose him to see him dunk at the All-Star Game, but he didn't get a few easy dunk opportunities at all, so he could only turn around and hook his hands in the low post, and his shooting percentage was not high. The shots were all snatched away by the outside players.

Randolph also played very actively in the first time in the Star Game, fully showing his rich offensive characteristics, not only being able to play the low post, shooting in the middle after blocking and dismantling in the high position, but also scoring a fast-break layup, showing a full tacit understanding with Zhou Xuan.

Van Gundy said: "This kind of game where you don't have to defend hard, you just need to attack, it's actually very suitable for Randolph. Marion joined the Warriors after the regular season and Jackson returned, and he may have to take fewer shots, which is a good opportunity to show himself. ”

"Magic" Johnson said: "The Warriors' two trades this year look successful, although it is a pity to give up Biedrins, but in order to free up salary space, it can only be so, otherwise it will be difficult to renew the contracts of Zhou Xuan and Randolph in the future." I think the Warriors must have treated Zhou Xuan as a non-sale. ”

The West has always maintained a strong attacking force, and Zhou Xuan handed out four assists in the third quarter, two for Randolph, one for Stadamire, and one for Roy's air-cut dunk, bringing the number of assists to 19. The West scored 40 points in a single quarter.

The Eastern offense was in trouble, mainly because Joe Johnson was too out of shape today, shooting 0-of-5 from the field in the first three quarters and scoring no points. The Celtics' Big Three are also not very hard-working, and can only rely on James and Wade to support them. These two have similar characteristics, that is, they are invincible in singles, and no one can prevent them.

Zhou Xuan rested again in the fourth quarter, Billups, Paul partnered on the outside, Kobe Bryant played as a small forward, and Stoudeyere and Duncan on the inside. To keep the home fans happy, Stoudamire was given a lot of playing time, with O'Neill and Nowitzki resting.

After playing for four minutes, the east still couldn't catch up with the score, the defense of the western team was still a little tight, and the eastern outside line made crazy shots. The Western star only made a total of 14 three-point shots, but the East made 31 shots, and the embarrassing thing is that the two teams hit the same number of shots, both of which were seven.

If the East doesn't shoot so many three-pointers and make so many irons, it shouldn't be more than 20 points behind, although the game can still be played, but it is actually difficult to catch up, and the West is firmly in control of the situation.

Bryant had the most shots of any Western star, shooting 22 from the field and hitting 11 of them, a decent percentage of 3-of-8 from the field, plus four free throws to score 29 points, in addition to five rebounds and two assists. Stoudamire scored second with 21 points and seven rebounds, and it is unlikely that he will compete for MVP.

At this time, the Chinese audience watching the game at home was concerned about when Zhou Xuan would be able to return, and he was only four goals away from breaking the assist record. Finally, after the official timeout, Jackson asked Zhou Xuan to replace Paul, who had 13 points and 8 assists.

There was plenty of time left for him, with 7 minutes to go.
