As the game entered the last ten minutes of the fourth quarter, the coaches of both sides began to adjust their lineups, changing to the ideal starting lineup, and preparing for the final showdown.

The cheers at Cleveland's Yard Coliseum were endless, and in this desert of basketball, they never expected to experience such a big battle firsthand.

The tense situation and the narrow difference in the score stimulated the adrenaline rush of everyone present.

Harris made another adjustment to the lineup, and although Stockton was a good match with Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, he was under too much pressure on the penny on the defensive end.

Western Defenders: Kobe Bryant, Richmond.

Forwards: Eddie Jones, Kevin Garnett.

Center: Hakim Olajuwon.

Not surprisingly, this lineup will play the whole game, Kobe Bryant's current score is 19 points, and the highest score outside of Kobe Bryant is Olajuwon's 16 points, and if the West wins, the MVP trophy will inevitably be produced between the two of them.

Olajuwon has won two Finals MVPs and regular season MVPs, but he has not won an All-Star MVP.

The Eastern roster has also been slightly adjusted, and Collins believes that the team's offensive firepower is completely sufficient, and what is needed is to strengthen the interior defense and replace Ewing the Gorilla with a more dynamic and younger Uncle Mu.

The lineup in the East has been adjusted to - Jordan, Penny, Hill, Pippen, Mutombo.

With this lineup, the offensive and defensive rates are faster. While lacking Ewing's back-to-back singles and high post play, Collins thinks Jordan can play that role.

West 91: 100 East.

Nine points behind, the only superstars on the West side are Kobe Bryant and Olajuwon, while there are three in the East, and Pippen can be regarded as half a superstar next to Jordan.

3.5VS2！

"No matter how you look at it, the odds of the West winning are not very good." The magician scratched his head helplessly.

"Even if Michael feels cold, the stars in the East are still not something that the West can beat. If Hakim and Drexler are five years younger, there may still be a chance. ”

The commentary is very well analyzed, and this game, if you want to win, is very difficult.

Players from both sides are back on the pitch again.

The referee blows the whistle and the West has the ball.

Kobe Bryant advances with the ball, and this season he is used to playing downwind, and it is rare to play against the wind, but Kobe's strongest ability is to turn the tables against the wind.

Jordan didn't say anything, leaned over, and stared at Kobe Bryant, and at this moment in the game, Jordan also showed his best defensive state.

"Double Block!" Bryant stood 5 meters outside the three-point line, far away from the space, Jordan hesitated for a moment and forced over.

Can't put Kobe Bryant's long-range shot! This is Phil Jackson's conclusion!

In basketball, the more space there is, the more offensive options there have. Kobe Bryant pulled so far and shouted a double block at the same time, and the defense of Jordan, Pippen, and Mutombo was pulled out.

Garnett and Olajuwon's pick-and-roll quality is very high, and Kobe Bryant took the opportunity to wipe it!

Shake off Jordan! Olajuwon hangs Jordan!

Garnett cuts into the middle distance, and Olajuwon is in the penalty area!

The tactical running of the three players on the west side has made the iron-locked defense of the east chaotic!

The defender in front of Kobe Bryant has become Uncle Mu!

Hasten! Kobe Bryant is short! Step up, and the 31-year-old Uncle Mu will pass in a smoke!

Hit the basket, attract Hill to help defend, hit the ground and pass the big dream, and dunk to score.

93：100。

"Fack, DiCambe, you're going to squat down in the basket!" Jordan complained loudly.

Uncle Mu spread his hands.

Penny did not look back at this defense and pushed forward again.

Although Richmond is known for his defensive skills, his excellent physique can still limit the breakthrough of pennies to a large extent.

Hardaway didn't dwell on it, and passed it to Hill.

Hill tossed, lobbed Jordan.

Jordan attacks Kobe Bryant again!

Left shoulder sway, right step!

Turn over and throw!

Decisive!

Kobe didn't even have time to react and interfere with Jordan.

“DUANG！”

The old Iron King.

Bryant smiled.

Jordan's face was black and red, this terrible feel.

"Michael, it's okay, I understand. There are a few days every month. ”

Jordan stared at Kobe Bryant.

Bryant took Garnett's pass and advanced to the front court with the ball.

Hill defends.

Kobe Bryant is going to play fast!

Change direction before the crotch joint!

Step back!

Three-point jumper!

"That's a big amplitude! Kobe's step back also spans too much distance! ”

"Didn't wait for a teammate to fall into position! Didn't wait for Jordan to return to defense! Decisive attack. ”

"The wise choice to want to force Hill is impossible for Kobe Bryant now. It's a great option to avoid the edge and use a rhythm adjustment to complete the shot. ”

Kobe Bryant's step-back step is not used much, he studied a certain bearded style of play in the later stage, and the combination of step-back step and European step is indeed a very efficient way of playing.

The more difficult part is the control of the rhythm and the stability of the body core.

And Kobe! It is precisely the master of both.

"Huh!"

Hit.

96：100。

"After Kobe Bryant came on the court, one assist, one three-pointer, narrowed the score difference to 4 points!"

"I have to admit that Kobe Bryant's style of play is very spiritual. This three-point step back, I don't dare to do it at this time. The smiling assassin also praised him heartily.

Penny pushes forward with the ball, blocks with Pippen, and singles out Eddie Jones!

Consecutive crotch dribbles, shook Jones, and hit the middle distance!

Throw!

Score!

96：102。

Penny is playing very seriously in this game, currently scoring 19 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals on 7-of-10 shooting and 3-of-5 from three-point range, and he wants to wash away the recent depression with an All-Star MVP.

Scorched, the score alternated over the next few minutes.

Bryant and Olajuwon took over the offense in the West, and the two men completed the cooperation of the golf quotient in a row to complete the offense.

On the Eastern side, after Jordan slid the basket on the layup and missed the free throw, he resigned himself to his fate and began to organize tandems and feed more to his teammates.

Hardaway and Hill twin stars shine brightly, and they don't fall behind against Kobe Bryant and Olajuwon.

The game lasted for the last three minutes.

West 118: 121 East!

Glen Les was brought on the pitch to replace Pippen, who didn't have many opportunities to perform.

On the western side, the lineup remains the same.

With the exception of Olajuwon, the rest of the players in the West are in their youth and are not tired.

And Olajuwon does have some physical insufficiency, and Mutombo's defensive pressure, even if Dameng completes the attack every time, it also consumes a lot of physical energy.

Harris has no second center to replace, O'Neal and David Robinson are out injured, and Olajuwon is the only center hope in the West.

"Hakim! Can you still hold on? ”

Olajuwon's jersey was stained with sweat and poured into a large glass of Gatorade.

"No problem."

You say I won the championship because Jordan retired?

Today, I'm going to win this one.

Just like the game against the Bulls ten days ago!
