The All-Star Game is an entertainment game, which is not the same concept as the rookie game, and Harmon can pursue a different style of play in the rookie game, but when it comes to the main game, Popovich obviously won't do that.

Curry controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, looked for Kobe, and handed the ball over directly.

Curry looked at the schoolboys, but was actually in his thirties, and he certainly knew who should be the focus of the game.

As soon as Kobe Bryant received the ball, the fans at the scene let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

Defending Kobe Bryant was Wade, the league's former top shooting guard, who had their final All-Star game in Toronto.

Kobe Bryant hit his back, turned and leaned back, and shot directly at Wade's defense.

Compared to the peak, the height and angle of the shot were not so ideal, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket, but after a bounce, it still rolled in.

The scene was followed by a burst of cheers of explosions.

The sword is not old, which is the best description at this moment.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Western team was creating offensive opportunities for Bryant.

However, Kobe Bryant is old after all, and he is the best athlete in the league on this field, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions is particularly fast, and he can't keep up with it when he runs.

And Tang Shuai also truly realized the difference between the All-Star Game and the Rookie Game.

Although I have been mentally prepared before, when I really get to the field, not to mention the success rate of the attack, even the chances of receiving the ball are pitiful.

And maybe it's playing at home, Lowry is particularly tight on his defense, and the whole first quarter of the game is down. He didn't have a single shot.

Bryant's offensive efficiency led to a deep quagmire on the offensive end. On the other hand, George of the Eastern team showed a super high competitive form. He hit three three-pointers in the first half of the game, and under his leadership, the East has a 27-17 lead.

In an attack, Tang Shuai tried to break through, but was stealed by the quick-eyed George, George threw his hand to James, and James's rampage savage breakthrough dunked again, scoring 2 points for the Eastern Army again.

From steal to score, the whole process lasted less than 3 seconds. The pace of the All-Star Game is understandable.

And just after this mistake, Tang Shuai and Kobe Bryant were both replaced.

Although the victory or defeat of the All-Star Game is not important, it is obviously a loss of face for the coach to lose too ugly.

"The East has a suppressive advantage, LeBron and Paul work together seamlessly, and one Curry can't save the West." Kenny Smith talks eloquently in the commentary box.

Like the previous commentary, the All-Star Game is also a commentary team, with not only aces like Smith, Barkley and O'Neal, but also Miller and Barry on the sidelines. There's even Nick Hart, a famous basketball commentator in Canada.

"Don obviously hasn't adapted to the All-Star arena yet, and he looks helpless on the court." Hart, as a Canadian media person, was also on the side of Lou and Lowry after the pre-game video was broadcast.

"He's just a rookie. I've long said that being selected as an All-Star starter isn't necessarily a good thing for him right now. Barry, as one of the "Tang Hei", immediately chimed in.

"It's just the beginning of the game, and I think we should give Don a little time." Miller spoke. He has always been supportive of Tang Shuai.

"I don't think so......" Barkley was ready to retort to Miller.

"Hey, guys. You guys are too a rookie, not everyone is Shaq. The first time you play an All-Star, you'll be able to dominate the game! Right? O'Neill said with a smile.

O'Neill's "shamelessness" immediately caused other commentators to laugh, and the topic of Tang Shuai was skipped.

O'Neal had a smile on his face, but when he smiled, he unconsciously looked at the bench of the Western team, not at his former teammate Kobe, or at Tang Shuai with his head down.

Tang Shuai buried his head and panted at this time.

The offensive and defensive speed of these perverted guys is too fast, basically every five or six seconds, and the number of long passes alone is no less than five or six times, as if they are playing football instead of basketball.

This is completely different from the games I have seen on TV before, the kind of tight rhythm of the game, and I can't adapt to it without super ability.

"Russell~~Westbrook!!"

Just then, the live DJ frantically shouted Westbrook's name.

Westbrook received a pass from his teammate Durant and jumped to the inside, which was directly a trademark one-handed slam dunk, and the performative dunk caused a wave of climax among fans.

Westbrook has been very active since he came on, both alone and cooperatively, and under his leadership, he has chased the score from 17-27 to 36-39.

Tang Shuai looked up at this time, but unexpectedly found that Westbrook was looking at him, with a hint of concern and provocation in his eyes, as if to say that this is the performance that an All-Star starter should have.

Tang Shuai shook his head helplessly, speaking of which, after the last time he played against the Thunder team, he also watched what Westbrook said in an interview after an interval of time, and counting today's eyes, somehow, the two of them were even sentangled.

Westbrook's performance continued, and although George played like a miracle and scored 14 points in a single quarter, the West team blossomed and took a three-point lead at 43-40.

After the game, Westbrook looked very excited, and glanced at Tang Shuai with a provocative look when he passed by.

At the end of the first quarter, Westbrook scored a team-high 9 points despite coming off the bench, and if he continues at this pace, he will continue to win the All-Star Game MVP.

Tang Shuai couldn't help frowning at this time, he also knew that his strength was not as good as others, but Wei Shao's provocation at this time was too strong, and becoming a starter was also the result of the fans' vote, if he could, he wished he was a substitute, after all, he now has a single consumption package on his body, and the trigger condition is to play as a substitute.

But Wei Shao's provocation made him very uncomfortable, and it would be a bit of a shame if he didn't make some response.

"Calm down, calm down......," he said silently.

If you want to get the right to shoot, you must have enough strength to convince your teammates, with his current ability to have an exclusive skill pack, it is obviously not enough, if you really want to perform in this game, the use of a single consumption pack is inevitable.

But now there is only one on the body, and when to use it is selective.

If you use it early, you will be targeted but you can't do anything about it, and the result will be counterproductive.

Patience, patience......

Tang Shuai took a deep breath to relax himself. (To be continued.) )
