Chapter 246: Three Minutes of Life and Death

After a short intermission, advertisements were inserted, and the game went into the second half.

The default rule of the All-Star is that in the first half, the head coach will let all the players take turns to walk around the court like a marquee, and will not pay too much attention to the lineup.

In the second half, the manager will match different players according to his ideal lineup.

In the first quarter, due to the accumulation of a large number of power forwards, it was washed out by the forward line in the East, and Harris also made corresponding adjustments in the third quarter.

Western Defenders: Kobe, Stockton.

Forwards: Eddie Jones, Kevin Garnett.

Centre-forward: Olajuwon.

The Eastern lineup is unchanged and continues to be led by Jordan, Penny, Hill, Pippen, and Ewing.

It can be seen that the stars on the West side and lack small forwards, the top three small forwards in the league, Hill, Pippen, and Glen Rice are all in the East.

Drexler is old and doesn't really want to play.

Richmond was too short and not very good defensively.

Detreve Schramf, Tom Gugliotta, a pure shooter who goes on the court to face the East forwards, is a food delivery.

can only let the poor model worker Eddie Jones continue to play as a small forward, and Eddie Jones is simply a professional role model, from the Lakers to the All-Star, he has been playing the role of a firefighter, and he can't make up for it.

Fortunately, Garnett has been replaced, and his defensive coverage can improve the mid-range defense in the Western penalty area to a higher level.

Garnett and Kobe Bryant's tacit understanding is also very good, far better than Camp and Malone, and the fighting spirit is also very high, much better than the All-Star old bastards.

"Kobe, fighting side by side, is this the hot-blooded youth?" Garnett muttered endlessly, and Kobe Bryant didn't want to deal with him at all.

"Here we go, boy. Stop talking nonsense. Olajuwon also had some Garnett, who couldn't stand the second illness, and gave Garnett's bald head a slap.

Garnett ran onto the field in a hurry, and the humble little Kevin didn't dare to be presumptuous with these bigwigs at all now.

"Kobe, you won't be able to play long in the third quarter, be mentally prepared." Harris did the math, Kobe Bryant has played 12 minutes, 3 minutes in the third quarter, and 10 minutes in the fourth quarter.

"Okay, Coach." Then hurry up and grab those three minutes!

"Yo, the kid is back?" Jordan chewed gum and crossed his waist. The slender Achilles tendon and exaggerated arm span make him look like a god of war.

"Old blacksmith, is it still iron in the second half?" In the first half, Jordan didn't feel anything, and only scored 7 points on 3-of-9 shooting. Kobe Bryant estimated that whether this game is won or lost, the MVP and Jordan have nothing to do with each other.

Jordan glared at Kobe Bryant, he did feel very bad today, but that didn't prevent him from winning the game in other ways.

He began to change his style of play in the second quarter, more to grab rebounds and organize the offense.

At present, his statistics are 7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, which is on the way to a triple-double.

The game continued, and the eastern side had the ball.

Penny was still walking like the wind, advancing to the front of the court to defend his Stockton.

Even Stockton's strength far exceeds that of most point guards of the same height, and he is still suppressed in the face of Penny, a point guard who is 2.01 meters long enough to act as a small forward.

Penny leaned sideways, half-turned and wiped Stockton over.

Mid-range, attracting Garnett's arming, and then the classic does not look at the back of the man's head to pass Pippen.

Pi Erye's bottom corner is three points!

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

Bryant shook his head, and the penny met Stockton, and the play was too easy.

I'm going to hurry up!

"Kevin!"

"Come on!"

Kobe Garnett pick-and-roll!

Jordan and Pippen defend!

Why are you two again, Kobe Bryant feels like he's being targeted.

No defensive combination on the court can have the same level of defensive chemistry as Jordan Pippen.

Kobe cut inside, Garnett moves diagonally.

The perfect pick-and-roll defense, the tacit understanding between Jordan and Pippen kept the two of them from losing their defensive positions at all, blocking Kobe Bryant and Garnett again.

No way!

Single-handedly Jordan!

Kobe Bryant leaned on his back!

Depend on!

Jordan's exaggerated power made Kobe slip on his feet.

Take a small leap backwards and turn over!

Extreme recline!

Kobe's body's rear growth range is close to the horizontal line, and the waist and abdomen are twisted in the air!

Forcibly stabilize the center of gravity that lost control after confronting Jordan, and leaned back to shoot!

Jordan didn't press forward, Kobe Bryant lost his center of gravity, and the leaning was too large, so there was no need to risk a foul to force the defense.

The basketball crossed an exaggerated parabola and went beyond the height of the rebound.

Straight into the basket!

Enter!

Fack! Jordan scolded secretly, this is too doggy!

Bryant fell to the ground with a butt, and he really lost control of his body on this ball.

"Wow! Kobe Bryant finished with an exaggerated step-back jumper in the face of Michael! ”

"It's a provocation, heard that you Michael's step-back jumper is unsolvable? What about looking at me? ”

"Jordan is embarrassed." The smiling assassin grinned, and although he didn't like Kobe Bryant either, he hated Jordan even more.

The most hated thing about the smiling assassin is Marlon!

Kevin Garnett and Eddie Jones rushed over together and extended his hand to Kobe.

"Good shot!"

Penny's expression was indifferent, as if he was not affected in the slightest.

The wind at his feet, the dribble that was not fancy at all, but Stockton, who was sixteen centimeters shorter than him, had no way to make a steal.

Pennies and Pippen are somewhat similar, and if there is a supergiant in the lineup, as the second leader, they can both play supergiants.

If you lead the team alone, you will obviously slip from the supergiant. Players with strong comprehensive ability like them are more suitable to be the second leader.

Penny pushes with one hand!

The basketball is like a cruise missile, stuffed straight into the basket Ewing!

Ewing leaned back!

Throw the ball to the outside Hill!

Hill threatened three, clicked on Eddie Jones, and pulled out the shot.

"Huh!" Hit.

It's really too strong, these players in the East, each of them are the hegemons of the front line, and the combination is even more powerful.

This lineup is somewhat similar to Pat Riley's five-small forward philosophy, except that the center position is Ewing.

After the Western change of formation, although it suppressed the fast break of the Eastern All-Stars.

But after falling into position, the passing organization ability of the eastern players threw off several levels in the west.

They play like a dream team!

Everybody dominates the ball, everybody shares the ball, everybody can attack!

Bryant beat Jordan four shots in a short three-minute playing time.

First, he turned over and hit a jumper.

Then he blocked and dismantled a three-point shot and missed.

Cut the basket in the air, received a pass from Stockton and turned over and hit the lever.

The mid-distance empty-handed run, the catch and dry pull were forcibly interfered with by Jordan.

The situation continues to move towards a favourable scenario on the eastern side.

Bryant went off the court, and the score became 71:79 in the West.

Fortunately, it was Jordan's several shots that also ended in iron, otherwise the game would have been spent.
