In the second quarter, the West continued to soar and looked like there was a tendency to pull the score apart.

Zhang Xiaotian can only be anxious when he sits below, the All-Star is different from the official game, at least the first half will follow the principle that everyone will show their faces, and there will not be too many changes.

Fortunately, the west led too much, and after that, it relaxed a bit, and the east began to pursue.

The West's shooting percentage, which is obsessed with outside threes, has declined, while the three-point shooting of Eastern players has opened.

After Zhang Xiaotian and others came on the court, they strengthened their defensive intensity, and even took advantage of the opponent's shooting failure to play a few beautiful counterattacks, resulting in a Western West lead of only 1 point at the end of the half, which led by 20 points at most.

Zhang Xiaotian also played very happily, this is still because he is so sharp in chasing points without activating skills.

This is also because after Duncan and other interior players in the west are old, the young interior players are not outstanding, and several forward players in the east rush in almost to get what they want.

However, the brightest performance was West's Wei Shao, who blasted 27 points in the half, setting a new All-Star Game halftime scoring record.

The advantage of having the ball in hand is big, and the players and coaches in the West also give him face.

At halftime, everyone was clear, but the coach still explained some tactics, and the advantage of this All-Star West is in the guard line, while the East is the forward line.

In the second half, both sides will also seek victory, and the main tactics will still be arranged according to the players.

In the third quarter, it was the West that took the lead in attacking, and Aldridge's unpretentious mid-range shot was murderous.

But this time when the players rotated, it was the East that had the advantage, and with the cooperation of the Hawks teammates, Korver hit consecutive three-pointers.

It's not a simple role to be on the All-Star court, and maybe some players will struggle to play because of the style of play, but when everyone gets more serious, some simple attacks will be more effective.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 122.

In the last quarter, the frenzied confrontation between the two sides continued.

The East and West Stars alternate between the games, and at this time, it will be decided to win or lose.

The two coaches who are good at small-ball tactics coincidentally chose one big and four small as the lineup at the last moment, but the four small in the east are obviously much bigger.

The West has put on an extreme lineup of four guards, with Westbrook, Paul, Curry, and Harden on the court at the same time, with Gasol Jr.

In the east, there are three forwards, Zhang Xiaotian, Anthony and James, plus Wall and Pau Gasol.

Zhang Xiaotian thinks that if Paul George is not injured, there may be four forwards in the east, and even five forwards, but there are just a shortage of personnel.

But even if there are people in the west, they can't have five defenders.

The lineup of both sides can be said to be difficult to defend against each other, and the four defenders on the other side are all very fast-paced characters, and the strikers can't keep up at all.

However, it is impossible for the west to defend against them, and Zhang Xiaotian is sure to meet any of them.

In a real game, the back four could have been more flawed.

But on the All-Star stage, the two lineups can only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The east and west James defended each other, and Zhang Xiaotian was assigned to the opposite position with Curry.

It can be said that his side is relatively easy, Curry does not have much ball, and the offense is not very sharp.

Paul doesn't attack much on his own, but Harden and Willis are more active.

On the eastern side, Anthony has not scored much so far, so he has played the host style to make balls for everyone, and the most fierce ones are James and Zhang Xiaotian.

James is now the highest scorer in the East, and if he wins, he may win the MVP, and he will definitely do his best.

In order to win, Zhang Xiaotian was aggressive at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Jimmy Butler sat on the court puzzled and didn't understand what Zhang Xiaotian was doing so the All-Star Games.

Butler, who is also an All-Star for the first time, has a calmness that is rare among young people, and he is also the only one in the East who said hello to the coach and doesn't want to play more, which can be described as the only one among young people.

Zhang Xiaotian naturally couldn't understand the one who usually had similar views, even if he didn't have a task, Zhang Xiaotian was extremely eager to win in the game.

With three minutes left in the game, Harden hit a difficult three-pointer against James to extend the Western lead to five points.

James was a little annoyed and wanted to return it, but Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly went over and reminded him.

Zhang Xiaotian greeted him in advance, and James also knew that his big heart at the critical moment still suppressed the irrationality, he didn't need to be angry with Harden now, with his status, it was enough to bring the East to win the MVP.

In this Eastern offense, James directly stuffed the ball to Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian directly hit Curry, just like the real game.

Curry is very helpless, although he is not as weak as his body, but he does suffer physically.

As Paul, who was passing the ball for a while, also hit, Zhang Xiaotian and James made a cooperation, deliberately attracting the assistant defense to give James an empty catch.

The crowd cheered, much to James' satisfaction.

At a minute and a half, Westbrook also hit a three-pointer.

Zhang Xiaotian once again attracted the defensive ball, but Anthony was iron.

Fortunately, the opponents are all guards, and after James plucked the ball, Zhang Xiaotian got it, this time he personally shot, dribbled to the three-point line and sent a cold arrow, and returned a three-pointer.

The clock went into the last minute, and this three-point shot put both sides on the same starting line.

The All-Star Game was mostly about the stars, but when it came to life and death, the fans were also intrigued.

If it's a draw at this time, it may be a stunner, and the star will step up at a critical moment, and the fans have a different kind of expectation in their hearts.

After that, Anthony and Paul scored two quick points to tie the game at 157-157.

Kerr also chose to take a timeout, and Harden hit another three-pointer after the game resumed, and the time was exactly 24 seconds.

This time, the east asked for a timeout, but Zhang Xiaotian was not polite and said that he would let him vote.

Budenhozer was also a little interested in Zhang Xiaotian, so he agreed to this request, anyway, their Eagles players are all substitutes, and now they can only watch.

After the pause, Zhang Xiaotian didn't wait for the ball at all, and directly pulled up and hit three points.

Now there are bursts of exclamations, and Curry-like three-pointers in front of Curry also amazed everyone.

This kind of tactic is usually difficult to see, and there is still time to throw three points directly against the defense, which the coach does not dare to arrange in the official game.

When the West attacked again, James completely stared at Harden, and in the end, Wei Shao directly pulled out his shot and missed it.

However, what he didn't expect was that Gasol Jr. squeezed his brother away and made a basket.

At 160:162, the East fell behind again, and the clock was only 2.8 seconds left.

Two points, three points, will it be overtime.

Whether it is the audience on the scene or guarding the live broadcast, their hearts are pinched, this year's All-Star is really exciting.
