In the first five minutes of the game, the two sides played a 15-16 game, and the Eastern Stars led by one point.

Neither Qiao Hai nor Popovich meant to call a timeout, after all, in a good game, his continuity and fluency were also very important, so the game went directly to the official timeout.

Qiao Hai took the tactical board, glanced at Popovich's side, and then turned his head and asked, "Erwin, is it time to change?" ”

Elvin Gentry nodded: "That's right, let's change it, at least two." ”

"Then we'll change three."

It's still the same, there's nothing to say about tactics, just a set of playing styles, break through the ball, and carry it out to the end, as for substitutions, Qiao Hai has already had an idea.

"Aaron, Rashid, you come down and rest first."

Qiao Hai replaced Iverson and Rasheed Wallace for different reasons, replacing Iverson because Iverson is a star with strong singles ability, and it is not suitable to play without the ball.

Qiao Hai simply replaced Iverson, and when James was not there, he replaced Iverson on the court.

Replacing Rasheed Wallace was purely due to Qiao Hai's lack of selection of interior players, and he only had three interior players available, so he still had to save some money.

With two substitutions, Qiao Hai picked up two more substitutes from the bench: "Chauncey, and Paul (Pierce), you guys up." ”

After the substitution, Qiao Hai didn't have more tactical arrangements, he only heard LeBron James whispering to his new teammates: "Paul, Chauncey, give me the ball later, and I'll solve the opponent." ”

In the face of James, who is full of fighting spirit and is about to overflow, Paul Pierce and Billups can only nod in agreement.

The substitution of the Eastern Stars is over, and the substitution of the Western Stars is over.

Shaquille O'Neal replaced Yao Ming, Dek Nowitzki replaced Tim Duncan, and the Western Stars team had many interior lines, so Popovich was naturally the first to replace the interior players.

And this change, on the commentary bench, McBlin immediately reacted: "Dirk Nowitzki is on the court, and his old teammate Steve Nash is also on the court, and the two of them seem to be teaming up again in the All-Star Game." ”

Charles Barkley focused on another substitution: "Shaq is the most important thing when he comes on, there are a lot of jokes on the court when he's there, and, Mike, don't forget, Kobe and Tracy are also there. ”

"Haha, that's right, the new and old teammates are on the court, and this All-Star Game is good."

Every year, the All-Star Game is a time for Shaquille O'Neal to perform, and this year is no exception.

As soon as he appeared on the court, O'Neal immediately asked for the ball outside the three-point line, and after receiving the ball, he actually started a decent outside single.

There was laughter on the sidelines, but O'Neal made such a mess, and the Eastern Stars got a chance to fight back and pull away the lead.

At the last moment of the first quarter, Qiao Hai even played a shark cutting tactic with a bad taste.

O'Neal was also very cooperative, and when he missed the first penalty, he performed again on the second penalty.

He threw the ball into the air, then rushed out of the free throw line, caught the ball and dunked the ball, and there was laughter on the sidelines, especially after the referee gave O'Neal a free throw violation with a confused face, and the laughter on the scene was even louder.

In the first quarter of the game, the Eastern team once led by 5 points, but when Steve Nash and his old teammate Nowitzki played a double cooperation, the Western team tied the gap in one wave.

At 28:28, this was the score at the end of the first quarter, and the two teams ended up in a draw.

In the second quarter, Johi made another substitution, first replacing Iverson and Chris Paul, plus Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Rasheed Wallace.

Qiao Hai put out a regular lineup, and after playing for less than four minutes, the Western Army played a wave of 13:5, and a wave stretched the lead to 8 points.

Then, Qiao Hai made adjustments, directly called a timeout, and then made a substitution.

"Let's make a substitution."

Qiao Hai glanced around and decided to keep two of the five currently on the court, namely Anthony and Rasheed Wallace, who can shoot threes.

Then substitutions: "Gilbert (Arenas), Michael (Reed), LeBron, you guys, continue to break through the ball, change the defense a little bit faster, let's speed up." ”

After the substitution, Qiao Hai looked at Yao Ming, who was sitting on the inside line of the Western Army, and thought about something.

The game restarted, and the East team directly began to pick up, and under the leadership of LeBron James, they directly began to attack the interior of the Western team.

On the first ball, James forced the inside line, the Western troops did not assist in defense, and in the case of one-on-one, James went directly to the basket and made a layup.

Then, the western troops counterattacked, and the defense of the eastern team immediately increased in intensity.

The defense kept changing, and Kobe, who was the main attacker with the ball on the court, had just passed one person, and then faced the other person's defense.

In the face of the defense, he made a pull-up jump shot, and with a bang, he didn't score.

Under the basket, Anthony flew up to grab the rebound, the ball was given directly to James, and the eastern team directly began to push the counterattack, and the center of the western team, Yao Ming, couldn't keep up with the fast pace of the eastern team.

However, the front court was also a four-on-four, as Garnett rushed over and kept up with Anthony.

In this ball, James went directly to the basket, and the side was assisted by the retreating players of the Western Army, and he jumped up directly and threw the ball to the outside.

Then, there was a big open space on the outside, and Gilbert Arenas took the ball and took advantage of it.

With a bang, the Eastern Army threw in a three-point shot!

……

After Qiao Hai changed to a small lineup led by James, the intensity of the game was even higher, and both sides began to increase their defensive intensity, and the offensive end was also a variety of covers and cooperation.

However, the eastern army still beat the western army 8:0, and directly chased the score difference back, and the two teams returned to the same running line.

In the next game, Qiao Hai changed people one after another, in short, with James as the core, and constantly matched James with a shooter.

But at the last moment of the second quarter, the West team suddenly broke out again, Maddy shot a three-point shot, Ray Allen performed a dunk, Elton Brand also had two shots, the West team scored 9 points in a row, and a wave opened up the difference.

At halftime, the score was 70:63, and the Eastern team trailed by 7 points.

"An extremely exciting All-Star game, in the second quarter, the two teams will really do it, the defensive intensity will increase, and the cooperation on the offensive end will also begin to increase, such an All-Star game is really exciting!"

"Judging from the process of the game, the strength of the western team is still higher than that of the eastern team, but Qiao Hai's tactics reasonably make up for the gap in the strength of the two teams."

"At halftime, the difference was only 7 points, and the Eastern Army still had a good chance of winning."
