After the start of the second half, Rivers sent a mixed formation of the Celtics and the Heat according to his own ideas, and in order to give his players more rest, he chose the combination of the Heat Big Three plus Rondo and Garnett, which is the strongest lineup he thinks he can come up with.

No way, who said that the Celtics and Heat are now in the top two in the East? Judging from the team's record alone, this is indeed the best card in Rivers' hand, after all, the Heat Big Three are still at the peak of their careers, and several of the Celtics' main players are already old. However, to his frustration, Popovich didn't seem to see what he was thinking, and instead continued to send a mixed lineup of starters and substitutes in a step-by-step manner, and there was no deep meaning in the slightest.

In fact, if you can't see it, Mr. Popovich doesn't have any deep meaning, just go on casually, who is not on the All-Star Game? Besides, the Western Half led by 15 points, and everyone is a star of the same level, so it would be almost meaningless to directly close the point difference with a small climax.

Popovich is a historic head coach, and he sees the situation on the court very accurately, even if Rivers kept his so-called strongest team on the court for most of the third quarter, but the margin was only chased by 8 points in the East, and the West still held the lead. However, Popovich does not care about the All-Star Game, he liked to rotate when he was with the Spurs, and at this time it is just a repetition, at least everyone still has enough physical strength at the last bayonet to see the red moment.

At the end of the third quarter, the West led by seven points at 117-110, which was a negligible point difference, and the remaining fourth quarter was the time for the two sides to fight. Rivers seemed to have a sudden realization, and sent Howard, who has been playing on the sidelines, at the fifth position, with the Heat Big Three and Rondo, it's no wonder that he can't think of Howard, an old player like Garnett is basically an All-Star to participate one less time, or let him brush up a sense of presence, but at the last moment, Howard is obviously more powerful than Garnett, and he is more dominant on the inside, so it's time for this "monster" to come out and make trouble.

Popovich sent a strange-looking combination at this time: Kobe, Ye Feng, Durant, Anthony and Loew. His lineup made the audience exclaim, this lineup is really awesome, one guard + four forwards, even if Loew can use it as a center, then who will play point guard? Who's going to be a quarterback? What about small forwards and big forwards? Although the All-Star Game is all about entertainment, you don't need to entertain the public so much, right?

But Popovich was completely unmoved, continued to insist on his ideas, and did not yet arrange any specific tactics, but only assigned roles to five people. Kobe Bryant played point guard and Loew played center, which can be directly determined, but the other three only Durant got his original position - small forward, in addition, Anthony was sent by the old man to play power forward, and Ye Feng unexpectedly became the point guard in the West!

What kind of point guard is this? Rondo has no advantage at all in terms of height, strength or speed, and he is not directly crushed by Ye Feng? Popovich let Ye Feng as a point guard also has his own considerations, when facing the Spurs in the playoffs last season, Ye Feng's passing ability left a deep impression on him, and when he sent the UCLA trio in the second quarter, he was surprised to find that Ye Feng's passing has been further improved, and his height can form an absolute advantage in the No. 1 position, so it seems that Ye Feng is a bit funny as a point guard, but in Popovich's heart, it is definitely a normal thing.

After the start of the game, Ye Feng quickly entered his new role, in fact, this is not new, after all, he is the real organizer in the team, the so-called point guard is just a name, and it is not wrong to call him a point forward, but he is just playing Rondo. Rondo was very aggrieved, Ye Feng's man-ball combination ability was still above him, he couldn't break it if he wanted to, and the opponent's pass was very easy, because of his height, Rondo couldn't interfere at all.

Under Ye Feng's threading of the needle, the Western All-Stars broke out with terrifying scoring ability, especially Kobe, although his offense with the ball is very strong, but his off-ball ability is also excellent, and there are two scoring masters Durant and Anthony around him to help open up space, and there is a rebounding machine like Love on the inside that can bring the bullet back to the chamber, Kobe feels that this should be the most enjoyable All-Star he has played in so many years.

Ye Feng didn't attack on his own, although he was also eager for the All-Star Game MVP, but he understood that the focus of this year's Western All-Star was Kobe. Kobe Bryant isn't young anymore, and this is his home court, so he deserves to be the MVP. Ye Feng behaved like the purest point guard, but his height seemed a little out of place, he was always able to quickly find his teammates in the gap, and used various defenses to pass the ball over. Even Love, who was standing on the inside line, got a few chances to make a shot, and Kobe Bryant poured his firepower even more frantically, but Ye Feng didn't make a single shot.

It's hard to imagine in an official game, and generally speaking, whenever the offensive time is approaching, there are two kinds of people who are best suited to take the blame, one is the team's top card, and the other is the team's point guard. But now it's the All-Star Game, even if there is a pot, it won't be Ye Feng's turn to carry it, and he has already sorted out the team's offense in an orderly manner, scoring like mercury, and there is no sluggish feeling at all.

Seeing Ye Feng commanding Ruoding on the field, Popovich nodded slightly on the bench, and his affection for Ye Feng increased. Although Ye Feng led the Trail Blazers to eliminate the Spurs in the playoffs last season, Popovich has always been very fond of such an all-round and team-oriented player, and it is normal to have a good impression of Ye Feng now. However, it is still too early to say that it is still too early to poach people, and the pioneers are certainly reluctant to make a move. However, if there is a chance in the future, it may not be impossible for him to wear the Spurs jersey, Popovich held his chin and thought expressionlessly.

In the end, with the help of Ye Feng, the Western All-Star won the final victory, and he himself scored 12 points and 15 assists, which was a successful end to his first All-Star journey. The All-Star Game MVP was, of course, awarded to Western Conference scoring champion Kobe Bryant, who played only 29 minutes and scored a double-double of 37 points and 14 rebounds, successfully winning the fourth All-Star Game MVP of his career on his own turf.
