In the much-anticipated All-Star Game, the starters from both sides have arrived on the court, and the referees are selecting the ball for the game.

There are strict regulations on NBA game balls, and there are strict regulations on manufacturers, materials, elasticity, and inflation levels.

Of course, if it's a regular season or a playoffs and the home team has a superstar, that's debatable.

For example, in the Lakers' home court, O'Neal's explosive style of play, he will prefer to be full of anger, and when he hits back, the ball can immediately bounce back into his hand, and he can directly pick it up and dunk it.

Breakaway players also prefer to be a little more full of energy, and the ball can fly faster when they shoot quickly, and even 0.1 seconds is important for top players.

The NBA's 450 players, except for the United States, are the top world-class players in any other country.

As for the pitcher, he likes to be less angry, so the elasticity will be a little worse, hitting the basket or rebound, it is more difficult to bounce out, one is that it is possible to turn back to the basket, and the other is that it is not so far, and it will not be so easy for the opponent to counterattack because the outside shot is missed.

But the All-Star Weekend, in general, is not the home court on either side, so the referee can finally tearfully pick the ball strictly, and it is not easy for referees in this era, almost every team has a top star, even if it is the penultimate like the Bulls, there is Jalen Rose, a player who averages 24+4+5 per game.

As Jordan and Bryant stood on either side of the halfway line, a tense atmosphere spread across the court.

The referee came to the center of the court with the selected ball, and Mutombo and Duncan, two of the top five defenders in the interior defense today, came to the center of the court to jump the ball.

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game and throws the ball into the air.

Duncan leaped high and the explosive bouncing force was already starting to show its senile Mutombo to win the jump ball.

Bryant receives the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

Jordan went up to Kobe.

8VS24, Jordan and the player who most resembles Jordan! The fans at the scene cheered and widened their eyes.

"Cut." Kobe Bryant hates others saying that he is like Jordan, even if he really imitates all the time, just doesn't make others happy, he just doesn't play alone!

Moreover, although Kobe's style of play is mainly singles, if you really have good teammates, you can basically make these good teammates reach the peak of their careers, because his characteristics are too obvious, and he is a puzzle piece of a championship team, a functional player.

For example, during the OK period, Kobe and O'Neal were both functional players, the core of the strategy was Ron Hubble, Fox, Brian Shaw and Fisher, and the second consecutive was Gasol and Odom as the core, and Kobe and Bynum were all championship puzzle pieces.

Bryant put the ball in the hands of Garnett, who was pulled to the left side of the free throw line, and defended Garnett's ...... It's Iverson.

Garnett didn't hesitate to receive the ball and shoot directly two points!

"Huh"

With the crisp sound of being caught, the western troops took the lead.

Kidd immediately rushed inside, Mutombo picked up the ball and immediately sent it to Kidd, and Iverson and Rahim ran forward.

The five members of the Western team are all at their peak, and their physical fitness is great, and they immediately flew back to defense......

But as he ran, he found that the five of them were back inside the three-point line before Iverson?

Depend on!

The western troops looked at the Kidd who was slowly advancing and attacked, and said that they would counterattack!

Swindler!

Big liar!

Kidd's characteristics are too prominent, that is, a quarterback-style long pass, leading teammates to play counterattacks, it is not a run-and-bomb, but it is mainly based on attacking the basket, rather than the characteristic three-point shot of the run-and-bomb team, compared to the cavalry tactics of the Hawks, which is closer to run-and-shoot.

However, Kidd left a deep impression on people, this year he relied on an accurate long pass to bring the Nets to the second place in the East, and even the first in the East for a time, and played better than the entire season last year, and once only trailed Duncan in the MVP rankings.

I didn't expect Kidd, who has the image of a loyal and honest old cadre, to be so treacherous!

Coach Kruger on the sidelines looked at Liu Mang and Jason Terry who were snickering, with a look of disgust and then a little sadness.

I brought this disciple who seems to have a really good brain into the NBA, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing for basketball......

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, Francis defended it, and forced a pressing steal, but Kidd was pushed outside the three-point line by pure strength.

"Ghost trigger, level 5 coach on the field, from Jason Kidd."

Here it comes!

Liu Mang heard the system prompt from Kidd and focused his eyes on Kidd.

Kidd was not disturbed by Francis's pressure at all, dribbled to about 70 degrees outside the three-point line, and made a gesture to his teammates, the East team ran under Kidd's signal, Jordan slipped to the bottom line, after the inside line was blocked without the ball, Jordan pulled Duncan out, Iverson went to the left bottom corner and took Garnett out, Mutombo stood on the edge of the three-second zone on the left side of the basket, and took the ball to the position where he could dunk with one step, and Jordan took Duncan to the shooting area of one step inside the three-point line in the bottom right corner.

Kidd hoisted the ball to Rahim, who was leaning back to Kobe, and at the same time, Jordan ran to the free throw line and took a step outside the free throw line, the right side was almost empty, and Raheem's weak side was one-on-one!

"Oh my God, Shaq, I read that right! The Eastern Army is playing a triangular offensive? Barkley in the live broadcast room exclaimed.

"Oh! Charles, you read that right, this is the triangle offense! Michael played the role of Kobe, Rahim played my role! O'Neill was also stunned.

Someone actually played a triangle offense at the All-Star Game!

This is not a tactic that everyone has fun playing with, but an absolute superstar tactic!

That is, except for two singles points, everyone else is a supporting role, not to mention the rookie game, it is destined from the beginning that there is no absolute star in the second grade, and Liu Mang is the first person in the first year without suspense, and everyone should cooperate with him.

But in the All-Star Game, almost every player is a big man, and he actually played a triangle offense in such a game, and he really played it!

Kobe Bryant's defense is very tough, but if Raheem plays the opponent's guard, he is still on the edge of the three-second zone, and the power is not much different from O'Neal!

Sure enough, as the two big fat men thought, Raheem slammed back, turned around and resisted Kobe, although Kobe is known as a little pony, but Raheem is a big forward, or an extremely strong one, Artest can't stop it in this position, let alone Kobe.

If it was an ordinary All-Star Game, Raheem would have dunked the ball in it, but the Eastern Army was well prepared, and the Western Army had already come to Philadelphia and discussed it with Kobe and Garnett to kill the East!

Duncan sprang in as Rahim leaned back, fanning Raheem's most likely shot with precision.

At this moment, Raheem faced the opportunity for the basket, but did not dunk, and the ball was passed out under Duncan's flying crotch, and Jordan received the ball and made a jumper from the free throw line!

"Huh"

Hit!

2-2 draw!

Great teamwork!

With Jordan, the triangular offensive god, and Kidd, an on-court coach who can fit into almost any system, the Eastern team's triangular offense is too smooth! Raheem was also good at splitting the ball after the singles, which is what he has been doing, although the position of receiving the ball this time is not so accustomed, and it is fast forward to the basket, but it is necessary to play as strongly!

The Western troops were shocked, the all-stars actually played like this, one coach on the field, the next one on the field, this is bullying people with IQ!

The most surprising thing is Kobe, the opponent uses a triangle attack, well, just use it, but Jordan actually plays the second position!

Isn't it the position of the second child, Jordan plays Kobe Bryant's most familiar style of play, can he not know better than others!

After the goal, Rahim ran out and high-fived Jordan, who was returning to the defense, to show tacit cooperation.

Raheem is so excited, he finally got the first All-Star stat of his career, or an assist!

If this idea is known to a No. 8 player who bought a special table tennis table for the Olympics and invited a Chinese college student to practice at home for a month after losing to a teammate in table tennis, he will definitely despise it, and he will not score points when he plays, and he will be a fart!

However, the Western Army is now back to the game.

In terms of lineup, the West is much better than the East, even if it lost last year, but last year it only lost by 1 point, 110-111 to the East, and was taken MVP by Iverson.

This year, the strength of the western team has been further weakened, but the western region is stronger than last year, and they all think that as long as the goal is clear, they will win, and they will definitely win.

But the east came up and gave them a start!

Francis received the serve and pushed over, saw that it was Jordan who was defending him, no longer hesitated, and burst strongly!

Jordan is really old and can't keep up with the speed or anything, but the power is okay, and he has a good awareness.

There was no way to do it when he was with the Wizards, there was no defender on the inside, but this game was different, with Mutombo and Raheem under the basket! Jordan tried his best to put pressure on Francis with the static force that grew stronger and stronger, guiding Francis to not be able to directly impact the basket but not be slowed down, forcing Francis to go from the bottom line, and this feeling of not being slowed down made Francis not feel the change in his travel route, and rushed to the inside to attack the basket directly.

Raheem smoothly relied on Jordan's experience to defend in place when Francis spared a little way, Francis saw Rahim's huge body in front of him and realized that he had hit the plan, but he had already jumped up, Jordan interfered with the pass behind and could only shoot!

Experience is the biggest treasure for veterans! To defend against your opponent without affecting your fitness, you need to have a lot of experience!

Francis dodged Raheem's arm throw and hit the iron!

But!

The interior group in the West was too strong, and Garnett pressed Mutombo and Kidd to get the rebound, and then took advantage of the situation and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Ah......" After Garnett landed, he habitually roared while defending himself!

As expected!

The Eastern Army has long thought that if the two defenses and one defense, the absolute rebounds can't be kept, and the opponent's three highs will average almost 40 rebounds per game in the regular season.

Raheem picked up the ball and immediately gave it to Kidd, and then ran towards the front court with Iverson, and Kidd made another fast-break gesture.

This time, the Western Army ignored him, and you guys with two old arms and legs still want to deceive us...... Ouch I'll go!

Kidd really threw the ball straight to the front!

Lead with the ball!

Iverson rushed to the front court to receive the ball and went straight to the basket, but did not attack the basket, throwing the ball into the air, Raheem rushed into the inside and smashed the ball into the basket!

The Western troops are collectively circled, it's too despicable!
