When the All-Star first half was over and all the Eastern All-Stars were back in the locker room, almost all of the players were leaning on the locker closet without saying a word. At halftime, the Eastern All-Stars fell behind by 21 points, in the first half of the game, the Eastern All-Stars not only had no discipline on the offensive end, but also could not guarantee even the most basic rebounds on the defensive end, the gap between the two sides was too big, Weber, Duncan, Garnett only needed to pestle the basket, even Mutombo could only watch them grab rebounds and complete the second offense, and the Western All-Stars grabbed 10 more rebounds in the first half.

Eastern All-Star head coach Byron Scott, after scanning a circle of players around, also scratched the back of his head helplessly, in fact, from the second quarter, Byron Scott wanted to replace an outside line with Jermaine O'Neal, in order to strengthen the team's interior strength, but after thinking twice, Byron Scott still gave up this plan, the four outside of the Eastern All-Star, Kidd is his own disciple, Iverson is today's host, Meng Xu is the league's new star, and the remaining one is Jordan God, It's not appropriate to replace anyone. After dispelling the idea of substitutions, Byron Scott experimented with a big and four small tactics in the second quarter, but Mutombo's lethality and containment under the basket were too small, and even Webber couldn't handle it alone on the offensive end, and after Mutombo couldn't take on the heavy responsibility, all the tactics couldn't work.

"Guys, we need to get serious about the next game." After an opening sentence broke the silence in the locker room, Byron Scott walked directly towards Iverson, Iverson in this game, the desire to attack is too strong, in addition to these All-Stars in the East deliberately make the ball for him, in the first half of the game Iverson alone occupied a third of the shooting opportunities, so if you want to make a difference in the later games, Iverson must give up this style of play in the first half, Byron Scott stopped when he walked more than a meter away from Iverson: "Aaron, we all know what you think, but if we lose today's game, then nothing will be possible."

"I see, Coach." Iverson wiped the sweat on his head, and then put a towel on his head, since entering the league in 96, Iverson has grown into a superstar step by step, and has received countless fans and praise, but except for two scoring champions and several best teams, Iverson really has no honor to take, and it was easy to reach the finals last season, and was beaten all over the ground by the Lakers, and even with the 76ers, he collapsed, and this season has fallen to the edge of the playoffs and is struggling, Therefore, Iverson is now very eager to win today's MVP, which will not only boost the team's morale, but also add an important honor to his career.

At the end of the intermission, when the starters of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel again, in the cheers of the audience, I am afraid that no one would notice Byron Scott, who walked at the back of the team with a dignified face, as an All-Star head coach and a nanny coach, Byron Scott, originally only needed to be a hands-off shopkeeper in this game, but when he thought of his first All-Star coaching trip, he could lose miserably, Byron Scott was a little unbearable. Byron Scott is not the kind of head coach with great prestige like Chuck Daley and Pat Riley, who can make these star players bend to their will and play according to their own tactical arrangements, so although Iverson has promised himself, Byron Scott is still a little uneasy.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Meng Xu quickly sent out the baseline ball, and after Jordan, who received Meng Xu's pass, handed over the basketball to the organizational guard Kidd, the second half of the All-Star game also started again.

In the first half of the game, Kobe Bryant, who had the best performance in the Western All-Stars, is now also very excited, inseparably following Iverson, like Iverson, Kobe Bryant is also determined to win today's MVP, with the Western All-Stars already leading by a large score, as the player with the most points in the West, Kobe Bryant has a good chance of winning today's MVP. After winning the coveted championship last season, this season's Kobe Bryant is extremely eager for any personal honor, knowing that he cannot win the regular season MVP, so the All-Star MVP is undoubtedly a heavyweight honor for Kobe, if he can win today's MVP, then Kobe Bryant can be sure that his status in the league and the Lakers will rise further. After experiencing last season's playoffs and having successfully become one of the best players in the league, Kobe Bryant was originally very satisfied with the praise he received, but when Kobe Bryant found out that his old rival Meng Xu left the Spurs, left Duncan, went to the Pacers to be the boss, and also took the Pacers to mix up the wind and water, Kobe Bryant's heart rose a trace of jealousy, and the competitive Kobe Bryant now has more or less the idea of leading a team by himself like Meng Xu.

"Beautiful step-back jumper." When Jordan ran out of the empty space, Kidd's pass instantly reached Jordan's hand, watching Jordan's already amazing back-to-back jump, Magic Johnson also sighed, if it weren't for Jordan's physical fitness and physical strength to keep up, this guy would still be the best scorer in the league.

After seeing Jordan's licensed "step-back jumper", Kobe, who returned to the offensive end, after receiving a pass from Francis, copied a almost god-like body movement on Iverson's head outside the 3-point line, which was also a picturesque step-back jumper, but Kobe's shot failed to hit this time.

"Meng, grab the rebound." Due to the lack of helpers, in the first half of the game, although Mutombo was able to judge the landing point of the rebound almost every time, but he watched Weber or Duncan get stuck again and again, and the rebound was robbed, so after the start of the second half, Mutombo also changed the strategy of grabbing rebounds, if you don't let me grab rebounds, then everyone should not grab rebounds, watching the rebounds fly over his head, Mutombo just didn't grab them, but stuck Webb behind him, At the same time, he reached out a hand to pull Duncan on the other side.

Due to the excellent arm span, bounce and full value of the backcourt rebounding attributes, Meng Xu's backcourt rebounding ability is still very good, but in today's game, there are Webb, Duncan, and Garnett on the opposite side, because of the three metamorphoses, Meng Xu can also grab the gun long rebound, and don't think about the short rebound at all, but this time when Webb was stuck by Mutombo, Duncan was sluggish because he was dragged by Mutombo's jersey, Meng Xu at the edge of the paint area rushed directly and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Meng Xu, who grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, first handed the basketball to Kidd at the top of the arc, and then drove directly to the front court with full horsepower, and after Kidd turned around and dribbled with the ball for a few steps, he saw Meng Xu, who had already rushed over the free throw line, directly made a long pass and threw the basketball towards the top of the basket.

Similar to what Byron Scott thought, when Iverson reduced the number of ball-handling singles and began to tear apart opposing defenses with off-ball runs, the offense between the Eastern Conference All-Stars became more fluid. Not only Iverson, Meng Xu and Jordan's off-ball running positions are also the top, when Meng Xu, Jordan, and Iverson tore apart the defense of the Western All-Stars through continuous air cutting and counter-running, the weakness of a group of tall interior lines of the Western All-Stars was revealed, in addition to Kobe, whether it was Garnett or Duncan, they couldn't keep up with the footsteps of Meng Xu and Jordan, and the Western All-Stars, who were still solid in the first half, were already leaking like a broken boat in the first few minutes after the start of the third quarter.

Because of this, Meng Xu and Jordan, who barely played much in the first half, got more and more shots, and the difference between the two teams was constantly narrowing. And the trend of this game is also more and more similar to last year's All-Star Game, the Western All-Stars with the advantage on the inside made a huge advantage in the first half, and the Eastern All-Stars, who had nothing to fight back in the entire first half, also began to fight back in the third quarter.
