After the intense and exciting three-point shooting contest, the tense slam dunk contest also began, and Osborne also went to watch the game, this year's dunk contest was attended by a relatively small number of players, with only four players, including Nate Robinson, Andre Iguodala, Hakeem Varik, and Josh Smith.

Such a small number of participants make this year's slam dunk contest have little heart, and even the three-point shooting contest is not as exciting, but the dunk contest is still worth watching, after all, such an event is for performance, after a not too fierce preliminary round, in which Nate Robinson and Josh Smith entered the finals, and then Nate Robinson won the slam dunk contest championship with his light and elegant body.
After these events, the most watched All-Star Game began, and the East and West All-Star rosters were also announced, the starting lineup of the Eastern All-Stars team is center Shaqumean O'Neal, power forward LeBron James, small forward Vince Carter, scoring guard Osborne, point guard Dwyane Wade, and the bench lineup is Chauncy Billups, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Allen Iverson, Gilbert Arenas, Paul Pierce, Surprisingly, the Pistons' starting five all entered the All-Star Game.
The starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Stars is center Da Yao, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Kobe Bryant, scoring guard Tracy McGrady, point guard Steve Nash, and substitutes are Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Ray Allen, Tony Parker, and Sean Marion.
This year's All-Star Game was held at the Houston Rockets' home arena, so Tracy McGrady and Da Yao became the hosts, and this year's Western All-Star team has a consensus, that is, the basketball must be handed over to Tracy McGrady, after all, he is too sad, he has lost his relatives in a row, and needs some comfort, of course, this is not to say that Tracy McGrady can't get the All-Star MVP by his own ability, but if someone from the Western All-Star team competes with him, the result will be difficult to predict, After all, Michael Jordan was also once isolated, scoring a measly single-digit number of points in the All-Star Game.
And it's worth mentioning that even Kobe Bryant, who usually likes to compete the most, began to handicap the ball generously, just look at his stats at this All-Star Game, only 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists.
However, the final result of the game was LeBron James leading the team to a comeback, and he won the first AMVP of his life in one fell swoop.
At the beginning of the game, the players of both teams started the game, and the head coach of the Eastern All-Stars team was naturally Larry Brown, and the head coach of the Western All-Stars was Mr. Popovich.
As soon as the first quarter of the game began, the two teams began to put on a variety of coquettish performances, after all, the All-Star Game is for performances.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the big center of the East and West All-Star Team fought for the ball, and Da Yao, who was on the rise, must have crushed the aging Shaquwee O'Neal to grab the basketball, and then he handed the basketball to his teammate Tracy McGrady, Tracy McGrady is now turning grief and anger into strength, and he came up to perform his own self-grabbing and self-throwing drama for the fans and audiences.
I saw Tracy McGrady pass Osborne, Osborne didn't care too much about these, but Dwyane Wade came up to help defend, Tracy McGrady directly threw the basketball, and then bypassed Dwyane Wade, jumped high to receive the basketball and dunked the ball.
Tracy McGrady's unfocused eyes saw a rising fighting spirit, and the Eastern All-Star team's offense was also fast, but this time it was not Osborne who took the lead in attacking, because Shaquille O'Neal handed over the basketball to Dwyane Wade, and then Dwyane Wade and his good friend LeBron James directly performed a Janway connection, Dwyane Wade went down, LeBron James followed, they were very fast, only Kobe Bryant could keep up.
It's just that Kobe Bryant didn't expect Dwyane Wade to pass the ball, he threw the basketball up, and LeBron James received the basketball with a strong dunk.
Osborne watched the pair of good friends show affection every day, it was really enough, Kobe Bryant was also annoyed because of such humiliation, and then Kobe Bryant came back and used his super-high-speed change of direction to break through Dwyane Wade, and then dunk a dashing and elegant basketball under the nose of Shaquill O'Neal.
Osborne must have been angry when he saw Kobe Bryant playing like this, but the protagonist of this game was not him but Tracy McGrady, and after coming back, Osborne also reached out directly to ask for the ball, because if he didn't fight for it, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James would be able to cover all the offense and defense, Shaquille O'Neal saw Osborne asking for the ball, and still didn't give it to him, and gave it to Dwyane Wade.
Dwyane Wade also started his own singles this time, after all, he was very faceless by Kobe Bryant just now, the player who defended Dwyane Wade was Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade passed Steve Nash in one step, and in the face of Kobe Bryant's help defense, he also used a quick turn to pass Kobe Bryant very directly, and then directly dunked a two-point shot.
Osborne saw that he himself seemed to be isolated on the Eastern Conference All-Star team, and Dwyane Wade himself would definitely interact with Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James, so Vince Carter and himself seemed to be idlers.
The first quarter of the game was really like this, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, Shaquill's brother O'Neal played basketball very slippery, completely leaving Vince Carter and him aside.
But Osborne is also more active, he is now responsible for grabbing rebounds, no one passes the ball he has to grab rebounds, fortunately, in the first quarter of the game, the offensive efficiency of the Western All-Star team is not high, when Kobe Bryant shot the iron, Osborne saw the opportunity and finally grabbed the basketball on Da Yao's head, and then Osborne ran all the way with the ball, and then shot directly near the center circle, Osborne's three-point shot also eliminated his own zero score.
The first quarter of the game between the two teams was in full swing, although the defensive intensity was not high, but the performance was impressive, the Western All-Stars led the Eastern All-Stars by one point at the end of the first quarter, the Western All-Stars led the Eastern All-Stars by one point at 35:34, the Western All-Stars alone Tracy McGrady got 18 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Kobe Bryant got 6 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds, Da Yao 2 points and 7 rebounds, the Eastern All-Stars LeBron James scored the most 16 points, Dwyane Wade scored 10 points, and Osborne himself only had a pitiful 5 points, Shaquille O'Neal scored a 3-pointer, and Vince Carter played a pitiful soy sauce session.
