Break back.

The Eastern Force sent a lineup of Liu Mang, Wade, Maddie, Rashid-Wallace, and O'Neal.

On the Western side, Popovich sent a lineup of Nash, Kobe, Marion, Garnett, and Duncan.

Popovich didn't replace Yao Ming at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and he had to save it for the critical moment.

Popovich's goal now is to win! Consuming Yao Ming is secondary.

The main thing is that this guy's physical fitness is even worse than Popovich imagined!

Yao Ming played 8 minutes in the third quarter, and he was so tired that he didn't want to, and he played 24 minutes in the first three quarters, and he was the main attack point of the inside line, and he was very tired.

Popovich now feels that it is really troublesome to coach super centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming, and it will be impossible to call it after playing for a while, or coach Duncan is cool, and he can use it to the death, and he will make his own play adjustments according to the needs of the team, and he can use it as he wants, and his physical fitness is still good.

This Popovich admires Kobe Bryant, the first three quarters, except for a three-minute break at the beginning of the second quarter, and then he has been playing, 33 minutes of hard offense and defense, and now he is still alive, compared to Ginobili can only be hard for 20 minutes, Kobe's grass tolerance makes Popovich feel obsessed......

Ray Allen, the pitcher Popovich, was not replaced, Ray Allen was not good at cutting in the air, and when he met Liu Mang, there was no tacit teammate of the supersonic team, and it was not easy to run.

……

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Western Army attacked first.

Nash and Garnett are now the core of the offense, and in the face of Liu Mang's defense, Nash looked for Garnett to block and dismantle.

After the two used the pick-and-roll to break into the interior to create a threat, Kobe Bryant on the outside took advantage of Duncan's pick-and-roll to the free throw line, received Garnett's ball, and hit a long two-point jumper in the open space!

Garnett was excellent with the ball, Duncan was awesome off the ball, and Popovich took advantage of the twin towers.

121 to 124, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the difference was narrowed to 3 points!

The Western Army successfully approached the score to within 5 points, and 3 points is not considered a point difference! Prevent one, and there is a chance to catch up!

Playing with a bunch of superstars, Kobe Bryant played so well that most of his scoring was easy shots.

The eastern troops attacked, Liu Mang sent the ball to Wade, ran to the front court empty-handed and cut to the basket, and blocked the chasing Marion with the help of O'Neal's big man, and the western troops contracted!

At this time, Wade hoisted the ball into O'Neal's hands, and Garnett, Duncan, Marion, and Kobe Bryant all sandwiched it in, sandwiching Liu Mang and O'Neal under the basket.

This time, O'Neal did not break his promise, and immediately distributed the ball to Maddy, who ran to the baseline so that Kobe Bryant could go to the inside and was free, and Maddie made a mid-range jumper from the baseline......

Also enter!

42 points!

126 to 121, still a five-point difference!

Just as the eastern army can't defend against the western team's positional warfare, if O'Neill fights seriously and fights well, the eastern team's positional warfare and the western team can't defend against it!

The point is that O'Neill has rested for more than an hour, has enough energy, and has just been fine for the whole session!

The West Army did not continue to cut the shark, which is also very critical, Popovich almost did not cut the shark against O'Neal in the fourth quarter, this guy made a lot of free throws in the fourth quarter, and there was a shark cut in the fourth quarter, which affected the rhythm of his team, and it was troublesome, it didn't matter in the first three quarters, it could be adjusted before the fourth quarter, but the shark cut in the fourth quarter, first, it may make the whole team fall into a foul crisis, as long as the opponent causes them to foul, they can make free throws, and secondly, in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, you can't use shark cutting tactics, otherwise it will be a physical foul and two free throws.

Liu Mang high-fived O'Neill to celebrate when he returned to the defense.

The fans at the scene were surprised to see this scene, didn't they have to fight just now?

Wade was also shocked, O'Neal was suddenly not childish? Or is it still the fat man who likes to play petty when he has nothing to do?

Unscientific!

If O'Neill's psychology is something that ordinary people can understand, then he is not a member of the OK group.

The two teams began a scorching battle against each other.

When both teams strictly follow the tactics, the opponent has no way to prevent the opponent from dying, and can only limit as much as possible.

Kobe's catch-and-shoot and singles, Garnett's mid-range, Marion's air cut, and Duncan and Nash's distribution of the ball are quite tacit!

These five players are all truly top stars.

The real top stars are put together, willing to sacrifice something, and there is no problem of bad running-in.

Generally speaking, players who don't have good run-in data that look similar to superstars are actually mostly stars from bad teams who haven't even played in the playoffs.

The eastern troops cannot defend against the west, but the western troops cannot defend against the eastern part either.

In addition to being afraid of the threat of O'Neal's basket, the western troops also began to defend against Maddie's scoring, but the eastern troops are no longer obsessed with Maddie's scoring, when the players who originally blocked Liu Mang went to block Maddie, Liu Mang used Maddie to attract defense when he came out of the basket, ran to the three-point line and received O'Neal's pass, and the three points were also very accurate!

Popovich is really a headache for O'Neal, now there is Kobe, and the other party has O'Neal, O'Neal needs to be pinched under the basket, there are two times without pinching, one O'Neal hit a small hook, and the other is a 2+1 dunk through Garnett, who is making up the defense, and he also scored a free throw!

Didn't turn the tide in the fourth quarter by defending and accelerating the retreat as Popovich expected!

On the contrary, because of O'Neal's 5 points, 2 offensive rebounds and 1 assist, as well as Liu Mang's 6 points, the Eastern Army played a wave of 16-12 in the first five minutes!

142 to 133, the difference was stretched to 9 points by the Eastern Army!

Maddie, who was the focus of the Western Army, only scored two points in the fourth quarter, and then he was passing!

Popovich called a timeout!

O'Neal's one-beep style of play, as well as his calm passing in the face of a pinch, were the key to the Easterners' ability to surpass Popovich and open up a four-point gap after the start of the fourth quarter!

Liu Mang put his arm around O'Neal's waist and didn't get over, O'Neill put his arm around Liu Mang's shoulder, and the two walked back to the bench like brothers.

As if nothing had happened before, I felt like a good brother for a lifetime.

When the referee saw O'Neal on the court in the fourth quarter, he was worried that Liu Mang and O'Neal would do something, but he didn't expect the two to start hugging their waists!

The world is changing so fast......

Kobe Bryant of the Western team also felt that the world was about to collapse, and those two guys actually got mixed up!

There is no reason for it!

……

After the pause, the Eastern Army sent a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Maddie, Bosh, and O'Neal.

On the Western side, the lineup of Nash, Ginobili, Kobe, Garnett, and Yao Ming played.

The two teams are going to have the last 8 minutes!

Yao Ming came up with a hard first shot, and singles O'Neal turned and squeezed to the other side of the three-second zone and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

135 to 142, the difference narrowed to 7 points.

Yao Ming is completely worthy of O'Neill! It's 28 minutes!

But...... On the side of the Eastern Army, there was no idea of letting O'Neal return a favor, Liu Mang received Jason Terry's serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and asked as he advanced: "Who is coming?" ”

Jason Terry accelerated to the bottom left corner to settle down, Liu Mang understood, advanced to the frontcourt, and faced Ginobili's defense with continuous crotch dribbles.

Maddie and Bosh began to run towards the inside.

This is...... Kobe Bryant was too familiar with this scene, and hurriedly shouted at Ginobili: "Paste it!" ”

Ginobili heard Kobe's voice and turned his head to look at it before he understood, and immediately turned his head and pounced on Liu Mang, but it was too late!

Liu Mang took a big step away from the top arc, grabbed the ball and threw the three-point shot directly!

It's a pity that it didn't go in, and it hit the basket with a "bang".

At this time, Maddie and Bosh went to attack the offensive rebound, and the other four members of the Western team pressed in to grab the rebound, and O'Neal played a key role and slapped the ball to the left baseline!

Jason Terry received the ball, didn't pass it, caught the ball and dribbled outside the three-point line, jumped up for a three-point shot......

Hit!

145 to 135, the difference has expanded to 10 points since the middle of the second quarter!

Why did it suddenly rise up?

With O'Neill, it's still so prodigal!

Popovich is vomiting blood!

Use O'Neill as a blue-collar worker! It's too extravagant!

The Eagles have two waves in the backcourt and are starting to wield!

didn't give the western troops the opportunity to take advantage of Yao Ming's weakness on the inside line to make up for the opportunity to chase points after coming up, Liu Mang and Jason Terry began to shoot when they had the opportunity, and they threw hard when they didn't have the opportunity!

O'Neal and Bosh, two players who average 10+ rebounds per game, have excellent offensive rebounding impact capabilities, giving Liu Mang and Jason Terry the opportunity to wave freely!

As for Maddie......

In the fourth quarter, it was mainly used to defend Kobe Bryant, using his height to make trouble for Kobe, and the offensive end was just a cover to attract defensive firepower!

Maddy, on the other hand, was a huge threat on the offensive end, after all, he scored 40 points on 16-of-27 shooting in the first three quarters.

The western troops wanted to chase the score, but they were stunned by the unreasonable playing style of the eastern troops!

Liu Mang, the No.1 player in the unpredictable player ranking in history, once again took advantage of his unpredictable and unpredictable characteristics to catch the Western troops off guard!

With three minutes left, the score was 154 to 142, a 12-point difference!

Kobe Bryant was in a hurry and shot a three-point shot against Maddy's big long arm......

Miss!

O'Neal slapped the ball out, Maddie grabbed the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and made a three-point shot from outside the three-point line......

Also enter!

The Eagles are crazy about the score!

158 to 142, the difference widened to 15 points!

Spurs call a timeout!

Liu Mang's side, replaced Maddy, 45 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Jason Terry was also scared, there was no suspense if the East Force won, Liu Mang replaced James, O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace on the inside, and sought stability at the last moment!

Outside presses defense, Rashid Wallace assists defense, O'Neal guards the basket and grabs rebounds under the basket.

The eastern troops have changed from extreme waves to extremely stable, and they are completely in Liu Mang's playing mode.

In the last three minutes, the Western troops did not make any waves, and the score difference was kept above 10 points!

In the end, the Eastern Army defeated the Western Army by a score difference of 163 to 152,11 points!

Kobe Bryant scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and scored 46 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on 18-of-34 shooting, but lost!

On the side of the Eastern Army, Maddie scored 45 points!

Liu Mang had 21 points and 12 assists, and the two played extremely well!

The Western troops fought for a whole battle, and finally lost! Popovich was speechless, Yao Ming's egg hurt, he scored 33 points, and he scored nearly 90 points with Kobe, but he still couldn't win.

Kobe Bryant sat on the bench with a blue face, he stared at Liu Mang and O'Neal, the embarrassed guys, and hated it even more! This hatred lasts forever!

After the game, David Stern came to the field with a big smile.

Although there were some hiccups in the second quarter, today's game had a record high in ratings, and except for those two minutes of shark slashing time, the rest of the time was very exciting!

David Stern was in a terrible mood and came to the field to present the awards.

This time the All-Star Weekend presenter was former Rockets head coach Coach Rudy Tomjanovic.

Kobe Bryant saw David Stern coming, stared at David Stern, and wanted to hear Maddie win the MVP in person to deepen his motivation.

David Stern took out his hand card, which said the results of the All-Star MVP, in fact, it was just for show, he knew it for a long time, but the appearance still had to be made.

David Stern flipped over his card and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the MVP winner of the 2006 Houston All-Star Game is ......."

David Stern deliberately lengthened his voice and finally said, "...... Tracy McGrady and Shaq O'Neal! ”

The two won the award together!

This is very surprising, including Liu Mang!

Liu Mang looked at the data played on the big screen, Maddie scored 45 points, O'Neal had 16 points and 15 boards, and there were 6 offensive rebounds and 4 defensive rebounds in the crucial fourth quarter!

O'Neal's rebounding guarantee in the last quarter, as well as 7 points under the basket, 7 points and 10 rebounds in a single quarter, became the key to the game!

O'Neal was very passionate and hard working in the game, but he was still a little depressed after the game, helping the Eagles players win the MVP, how to think about it.

But unexpectedly, he and Maddie won the MVP together!

Even if they won the MVP together, O'Neal felt that it was Liu Mang, but he didn't expect it to be him!

O'Neill was instantly in good spirits!

After playing 20 minutes, 16 points and 15 boards, O'Neal and Maddie, who played 36 minutes and scored 45 points, won the MVP of this year's All-Stars!

Kobe Bryant is vomiting blood!

Seeing this scene, he felt that it was better to leave early! This is going to infuriate you!

Kobe Bryant feels that this All-Star Game, he will never forget it from the beginning!
