Chapter 538: I Am a Star Among Stars (Part I)

The counterattack in the east here also came very quickly, and immediately after serving in the backcourt, Owen quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then took advantage of the team's relatively flexible characteristics to directly use continuous dislocation to eat footsteps and single a ball on the western side. Looking back, Ye Xuan once again controlled the ball and came to the front court, this time Ye Xuan still chose to force his own singles, and the three points of the step-back step after the two feints were directly hit, letting everyone know that he was the three-point king who got a full score in the three-point competition.

In the next two or three rounds, the offense of both teams played impressively, although Ye Xuan was more like fighting for the MVP trophy, but after all, it was an All-Star Game, and it was impossible for him to play by himself with the ball all the time, so after hitting the two balls at the beginning, Ye Xuan also started to pass, for the mastery of the rhythm, Ye Xuan was still very good, basically his four teammates got one or two shots respectively, and then Ye Xuan singled one or two, In this way, although Ye Xuan's own scoring data has risen relatively slowly, his assist data has risen steadily.

In the third quarter, when the game was only 4 minutes old, Ye Xuan's data had unknowingly come to 20 points and 18 assists, of which there were still a few assists to take, but the result was because after Ye Xuan passed the ball, the two people who received the ball, Durant or Curry, liked to adjust and then shoot or wait for a few seconds after holding the ball and then forcibly face the defense, so Ye Xuan's assists did not reach 20, but I have to say, Ye Xuan's data is already unprecedented, as long as the west can achieve the final victory, then even if Ye Xuan stops playing now, it is estimated that this data can also help him get the MVP trophy.

And the most critical point is that the West Army played more open in the first half, and the pitchers with a high shooting percentage were basically on the West side, so they were much ahead of the East Army in scoring, and by the time the third quarter of the game was five minutes into the game, the West Army's lead had reached 15 points. At this time, the east also called a timeout, probably to make a substitution or something.

Sure enough, after the timeout ended, the Eastern team replaced Jimmy Butler and DeRozan with the more versatile Paul Millsap and the more accurate Kyle Lowry from the three-point line. And when the game started again, the playing style in the east obviously became more detailed, from the beginning, it all relied on personal ability and small-scale cooperation, and it became more organized, Ye Xuan also understood that the opponent was going to start getting serious.

However, since most of Ye Xuan's playing time has passed, he has not changed anything, and he still plays according to the original style of play. I have to say that the competition between the team with tactics and the team without tactics and all rely on various singles must be a team with tactics to occupy some of the peaks, Ye Xuan was barely able to use the success rate to maintain the score difference between the two teams at about 15 points, but when the game was 7 minutes into the third quarter, Wharton Jr. immediately called a timeout as if he was pinching the table, and replaced Ye Xuan and other starters.

In fact, it can be seen that Wharton Jr. is still too young, after all, this year is his first year as a coach, let him take charge of so many big-name stars, he is naturally a little nervous, plus balancing the playing time of these stars is indeed a science, so this makes Wharton Jr. very embarrassed, and he can only make substitutions according to the established plan.

However, after he was replaced, he did not make any tactical arrangements, and still only let the second team led by Wei Shao play freely, which gave the east the opportunity to chase points, Ye Xuan was replaced and looked at it anxiously, but there was no other way, after all, since the other players did not compete for the MVP trophy, they would naturally play relatively casually. The only good thing is that there is one person in the second lineup, like Ye Xuan, who also regards victory as very important, and that is Wei Shao.

Wei Shao everyone said that he was a tumor, a data brush, all kinds of rebounds and the like, and even released a picture of Adams on the side hurriedly hiding next to him when Wei Shao grabbed rebounds this season, but they didn't see the strategic significance of Wei Shao after he took off the rebounds, Wei Shao was able to quickly advance to the front court by himself after taking off the rebounds, if the opportunity was good enough, then it was able to form a dragon fast attack, which would put a lot of pressure on the opponent.

But this statement will still be refuted, the reason is what, let Adams grab the rebound, and then give a long pass to Wei Shao faster than he grabbed the rebound and went down the fast break by himself, etc., but these people obviously don't understand full-court basketball, and it's actually very difficult for you to use the long pass after grabbing the backcourt rebound to launch a fast break, and the active interior line that has done a better job in this regard is actually Kevin Love and Millsap and the like, although Adams is white, But it also has one thing in common with these inside lines of the new generation, that is, the work in hand is rougher, although it is much better to compare Howard and Jordan Jr. horizontally, but compared to the original Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett, they are still a little far behind, so I want him to use long passes to launch a fast attack, and the success rate is actually not high.

This is actually a bit similar to when Ye Xuan was in the Pacers, when Ye Xuan developed the skill of grabbing rebounds, Frank Vogel directly arranged a teammate card position for Ye Xuan without saying a word, and he grabbed the rebound and then went down quickly, why? Because at that time their inside line was Hibbert, Hibbert's long passing ability? It should be negligible, and the subsequent interior Tyson Chandler and Jordan Hill are also this type of player, so Ye Xuan's rebounds were significantly higher when he was with the Pacers.

After being traded to the Lakers, Ye Xuan's rebounds dropped again, although there were also some games that could brush a triple-double, but that was also what Ye Xuan could get by deliberately brushing it, this is because the Lakers have Gasol, a player who can use long passes to launch a fast attack, so Ye Xuan's rebounding ability is not so important.

Wei Shao's characteristic also made Ye Xuan somewhat relieved, after all, as long as the Western Army did not waste all the 15-point difference before he played, then he should still be able to stabilize the situation after he played. However, Ye Xuan still underestimated the eastern team's ability to disrupt the game, under the leadership of James, the king of spoilers, the eastern troops suddenly began to quickly chase the points, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was about the same, so the score difference should not be so easy to catch back, but at this time, the eastern defense was also strengthened, which made the western troops feel the resistance in an instant, and at the end of the third quarter, the western troops, who were still leading by 15 points, were left with only a 4-point difference in an instant.

This is not good news for Ye Xuan, but the audience is happy to see this situation, after all, everyone knows that when the All-Star Game enters the final quarter, and the score difference between the two teams is very small, what will happen next, the stars on the court obviously know this tradition, and when the fourth quarter starts to play, everyone's commitment and defensive intensity suddenly become the playoff level.

Although in the All-Star Game, he still doesn't use the tactics of bag clipping, but the change of defense and the like will definitely be carried out, rather than like the first two quarters, after a block and dismantle, everyone will watch him dunk, this kind of real fight, although there are fewer all kinds of fancy dunks and air catches on the scene, but it is more intense, at least the audience will look more interesting.

In fact, in terms of the current situation, Ye Xuan is naturally close to the data of double twenty, so he is closest to AMVP, but the highest score on the western side is not Ye Xuan, but Wei Shao, who is crazy about scoring points in the bench lineup, the main reason for this is because Wei Shao can not only play with the ball, but also Ye Xuan also passes the ball to him, Durant also passes the ball to him, and even Harden is passing the ball to him, scoring 29 points is indeed the highest player in the West, and the number of shots of 18 times is also the highest in the game.

If the west wins, then the MVP should be one of the two people Ye Xuan and Wei Shao, but the east side is very good-looking, first of all, the data of James in the east is very gorgeous, 21 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, this data is obviously towards a triple-double, of course, the same as Ye Xuan, he also made too many passes, so although the ball in the east is in his hands, his own score is not the highest, the highest score in the east is Owen, Lao Zhan is indeed very sophisticated, he knows what it means to be fat and water does not flow into outsiders' fields, and 5 of his 12 assists were given to Owen one-on-one, of course, this can also be explained as a tacit understanding between teammates. Irving, on the other hand, is the top scorer in the game, with 18 shots along with Willis, but he has 31 points.

But the difference is that Wei Shao is still fighting on the field, which means that the final decisive moment should not have his share, and Owen is now sitting on the sidelines, and if there is a decisive battle later, then Owen will definitely be one of the main forces in the east.

After the two teams played for a while as a substitute All-Star, they finally switched to their strongest lineup now, the east side is naturally Irving, Pickle Pepper, Lao Zhan plus Brother Alphabet and Paul Millsap, and on the west side, it is Ye Xuan, Curry, Harden, Durant and Anthony Davis, although this lineup on the west side looks relatively thin on the inside, but this lineup is the strongest offensive on the west side, The projection ability of the first four and the ability to create shooting opportunities for their teammates are perfect, and with the addition of an Anthony Davis who can also have some projection ability, the combat effectiveness of this lineup is simply explosive.

However, the lineup on the Eastern side is also very strong, except for Irving and Millsap, the other three can basically play from the second position to the fourth position, which means that they may be able to play the effect of misplaced singles when they are in the opposite position, and the size of Harden and Curry may become their breakthrough at this time, but these will not be known until they really play.

The substitution is over, the western backcourt serves, although Ye Xuan appears in the position of small forward in this lineup, but the task of ball control is still in his hands, after all, his organizational ability is also one of the best in the league, after the ball control came to the front court, Ye Xuan raised his hand to call Durant to help block and dismantle, and then he took a few steps inward, and then hit the ball from James who came over and Pickled Pepper who followed the defense to Durant who took advantage of the situation after the completion of the blocking. Schoolbag Du easily scored an inside dunk in two steps after receiving the ball, and re-stabilized the score difference to 5 points.

Looking back, the East immediately served in the backcourt and prepared to start a counterattack, Irving slowly controlled the ball after half the court, and immediately passed the ball to Lao Zhan, Lao Zhan faced Durant's defense and simply called a block, and then it directly became his misplaced single Harden, although Harden has a big butt and a good tonnage, but it is still very difficult to put down James who is a head taller than him, and after being pushed inside by James and taking two steps, he can only helplessly choose to foul.

The Eastern Army served on the sideline, Lao Zhan still continued to hold the ball, this time it became Irving who came to cover Lao Zhan, and it became Curry who switched defenses with him, and Curry almost cried this time, in the finals last year, he was targeted by the Cavaliers in this way, Lao Zhan looked for Curry in various dislocations, and Curry was about to cry, but this time it was him who lay down. However, he didn't expect that this time his teammates around him were more reliable than in last year's finals, Ye Xuan unconsciously quietly found the right position, Lao Zhan was about to end the offense with a layup after breaking Curry, but he didn't expect Ye Xuan to suddenly kill, and the basketball was nailed to the rebound with a slap, and Brother Thick Mei protected the rebound, and then handed the ball to Ye Xuan after he landed.

After Ye Xuan completed this big hat, he was obviously a little excited, he didn't control himself for a while, and he quickly controlled the ball and came to the front court to meet Brother Alphabet's long arm to shoot a dry shot, and only when he had jumped up did he remember that the arm span of the person in front of him was a little wrong, so he could only forcibly change his shooting posture in the air, and the result was that the ball naturally ended in iron, and the rebounding ball was also pocketed by pickled peppers, Ye Xuan also felt that his ball was a bit big, So when he retreated, he raised his hand to signal that this ball was his own pot.
