Chapter 422: I See You Didn't Take Me Seriously at All! (2/3)
Love was so tired that he went back to rest after the third quarter, and James and Irving chatted for the last few minutes.
It's not about the competition, it's about trivial things. I couldn't play at all, so I just chatted.
The game was fierce! Players on both sides were very accurate.
After all, it's an All-Star game, and everyone is the main player of the team, and they really want to win the game, so they will naturally play hard.
But after a long time, it becomes clear which side is suppressing the opponent.
There was no stalemate in the late second quarter, and the entire third quarter of the game was played by the Western All-Stars in a pressed rhythm.
The Eastern team was also a little bad in form and mood, but it didn't show much.
Unlike Coach Lue again, Stevens gave LeBron plenty of rest.
In the All-Star Game, James felt a lot more relaxed when he could get a full quarter of the game......
And on the field, every player is a star who can stand alone!
James can focus on scoring from his own position.
But now he is the default captain in the East, and the new captain in the West should be Curry.
Kobe Bryant wasn't in the mood to command the Western All-Star to play, and he was enjoying what could be his final days in the league.
In terms of combat power, Kobe Bryant has no problem at all.
He's also a very good two-way defender, just passing the ball to his teammates.
And when he needs to score on his own, Kobe Bryant can also score right away.
Thomas Jr. felt quite tired, mainly mentally.
No matter how he played, it was like there was an invisible force at hand in the third quarter.
The eastern teams just can't overtake the western ones, and they still have to fight to attack so as not to be thrown into garbage time.
By the fourth quarter, the difference between the two teams was not large.
But if the east wants to catch up, it will still be difficult.
Stevens: "James has to do more on the defensive end. Offensively, you're going to have to be a little bit weaker."
James: "That's fine. Defensively, I mainly focus on the opponent's No. 3 position, and the guy named Li Feng! ”
Stevens nodded: "Then the main point of attack is the three-point shot on the outside, and the center under the basket to score." These are the main two points.
Less mid-range shooting, preferably none. We want to fight them now, that's all.
You have to take control of it, you have a chance on the outside, you score right away, you get defended on the outside, you try to pass the ball in right away......"
97:91! The Western All-Star team is basically about to finish at the bottom.
Is this season's All-Star destined to be an ending?
But compared to last season, the strength of the Eastern team has indeed increased a lot.
In the fourth quarter, the lineup on the Western side was Davis, Green, Leonard, Kobe Bryant and Curry!
On the eastern side are Millsap, George, James, Irving and Thomas!
Li Feng sat on the sidelines to watch the game at this time, and Leonard received a pass from thick eyebrows to the front court, but was immediately blocked by James!
Then Curry caught the ball and hit a three-point jumper unexpectedly!
George got the rebound directly, Thomas Jr. quickly held the ball and rushed across the halfcourt, and then Irving received the ball and jumped directly into the net with a three-point jumper!
Seeing that Li Feng did not play, but was a more difficult Kobe, James frowned.
At this time, the West side served, Kobe Bryant held the ball over half court, LeBron impulsively took two steps forward, but immediately retreated.
At this moment, Kobe Bryant, who was next to Thomas Jr., got up and hit a three-point shot!
James was so angry that he shook his arm a few times.
Then LeBron took the initiative to ask for the ball, let the opponent get a foul at Leonard, and then made 2 of 3 free throws!
After halftime, Curry passed the ball to Green, who threw the ball into Bryant's hands shortly after George.
James: "You're going to try shooting again this time?" ”
When LeBron appeared next to Kobe, the atmosphere on the scene reached a new height!
LeBron was so angry that he slapped the ground a few times, and Kobe Bryant suddenly laughed.
How familiar this picture is.
Then the surrounding stars dodged, and Kobe Bryant once again seemed to choose to break through James as he did back then.
But when LeBron was ready to give Black Mamba a bloody cap, Kobe Bryant jumped directly high and the basketball was thrown directly!
A picturesque gesture in which the basketball arcs through the air like a standard textbook motion and then falls into the hoop!
Bryant: "Thank you. James. ”
James: "When we win your West at the end of the game, it's not too late for you to say that!" ”
Kobe Bryant didn't say anything, and he also met quite a strong opponent at this All-Star.
This time, the All-Stars did not let Kobe Bryant like Boss Joe did back then, but began to compete fiercely with the two camps of the East and West to see who was the final winner!
Then, under Stevens' sideline guidance, the Eastern team began to play mainly from the outside, and the effect was better than in the third quarter.
At 109:109, Coach Kerr asked for a timeout.
The current posture of the east is really not good to directly overtake the west in the end.
In terms of tempo, the Eastern Conference All-Stars have the upper hand at this point.
The adjustment on the Western side is that Kobe Bryant will move to the No. 3 position, and Cousins and Thompson will play with Li Feng.
Curry was swapped due to his reduced shooting accuracy.
In the East, Millsap moved to the power forward position, Love returned to continue the game, and Thomas Jr. was replaced by Wall.
Li Feng: "Today...... I don't think you're taking me seriously! ”
At this time, Li Feng felt that he was in a good state, his eyes were shining, and he strode up.
Now the lineup in the West looks a little scary!
Bushy eyebrows and Cousins are guarding under the basket! And the outside 3D player Tang Shen and the Lakers' popular main scoring guard Li Feng are on the court!
The small forward is the Black Mamba! And the eastern side has directly opened the "Cavaliers" mode!
The Cleveland Big Three Online! In the end, Wall, who has a good finishing ability and a big heart, and Millsap, who is very strong, can attack and defend!
Kobe Bryant held the ball over the half court, Li Feng took over the basketball directly, met Wall, and the flexible position directly passed Wall in the exclamations of the fans at the scene!
How is this kind of movement so familiar?!
Wall didn't have time to rush over directly, wanting to give Li Feng a big hat to chase after him, but he still slowed down the Asian defender in terms of rhythm!
James's attention was focused on Kobe, and Millsap was still in a position with Davis, Li Feng jumped up directly, leaning and throwing the ball!
The basketball crosses an arc and hits the board!
Curry, Hayward, and Jordan Jr., who didn't play long today, began to cheer for Li Feng!
Kobe Bryant and James looked at the group of players not far from the court.
Their time seems to be fading away, and Irving, Li Feng, and the Warriors players who are now in the limelight, their time has come.
