Chapter 377: "Tragic Emperor" Chris Bosh

With a "brush", Bryant hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer with his trademark move, and the Western All-Stars were able to continue to lead the Eastern All-Stars 31-26.

At a timeout in the interval, Eastern Conference All-Star coach Spoelstra briefly commented on the team's defensive problems before giving up the right to speak.

As a show-like All-Star Game, and the players on the court are the best players in the league, so in general, except for the fourth quarter, the head coaches of both sides often just go through the motions and give more options to these players on the court.

After a brief and impassioned speech by James, the second quarter began.

The Eastern Conference Stars are Tyson Chandler, center for the Heat "Big Three" and the New York Knicks, and Kelly Irving, point guard for the Cavaliers.

Obviously, the Eastern All-Stars hope to catch up with the West, but it is still the Western Stars who take the lead in the second quarter.

Durant, as the league's scoring champion, felt hot today, he came up and hit a three-point shot, and this shot was thrown in front of James, which greatly improved the morale of the Western All-Star team and took the lead in the confrontation between the two strongest forwards in the league.

Next off the bench, Durant's former Thunder teammate and Rockets core James Harden hit a step-back jumper at the top of the free throw line, while Westbrook, another Thunder player, also dunked on the counter.

The former "Thunder Three Less" have made contributions one after another, and the Western All-Stars have gradually expanded their lead on the court.

But fortunately, Irving, the "newcomer" who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time in the East, was not timid, and scored a backhand layup after a breakthrough. He scored his first point in the All-Star Game.

Then James also scored 3 points with free throws, and the East once again narrowed the difference, but just when the Eastern All-Star team began to chase the points, there was another accident.

"Cluster" first took a strong step over Durant, but when he entered the basket of the Western All-Star team, he was surrounded by many people on the other side.

James did not choose to attack, but with a big wave of his hand, he threw the ball to the hands of the "Dragon King" Bosh who took the initiative to stand outside the three-point line in order to open up the offensive space.

"Smack", Bosh received the basketball smoothly outside the three-point line in the left bottom corner, and after a slight adjustment, he shot a three-point shot without defense.

But Bosh, who had plenty of time and space to make a move, missed. Its stance is very soft. The arc of the basketball in the air is also perfect, but when the ball flies to the basket, it "perfectly" bypasses the basket, if it is not for a little bit of the net, it is really an outright "airball".

"Wow" The fans in the audience suddenly let out a burst of exclamation. Bosh shook his head embarrassedly. But it starts with this shot. But laid the foundation for today's tragedy of Bosh.

Sure enough, a minute later, "snap". Bosh received a pass from his teammate again.

In the middle distance of the basket he is most familiar with, Bosh made a feint to shake off Aldridge, a substitute power forward in the West, and then directly stepped back and made a jumper.

This step-back jumper shook off the opponent and Bosh's sense of direction, and his shot was fine, but the direction was too bad.

Unlike that three-point shot, Bosh's shot is completely non-existent, a standard "airball"!

"Haha..."Bosh's two consecutive "three no-sticks" caused a burst of ridicule from the fans in the Toyota Center, and even the Eastern Conference All-Stars bench sitting on the sidelines let out a slight snicker.

Gao Dazhuang felt that he had to restrain his smile as a "newcomer" to the All-Star Game, but this episode unexpectedly reduced the pressure on Gao Dazhuang's heart a lot.

Bosh's teammates James and Wade on the Heat immediately gathered around Bosh to exchange something with Bosh, but in this way, Bosh's tragedy is still not over.

Immediately Bosh also made a mistake on the defensive end, and he successfully acted as a human set when defending Paul from outside the box.

Paul changed hands, and then a street ball shook Bosh completely, and with a "snap", Paul smashed the ball to the floor, and the basketball passed directly between Bosh's legs.

Wear the crotch!

Paul, who easily passed Bosh, made a small jump into the interior and made a layup.

What made Bosh want to cry was that Thunder point guard Westbrook was not far behind after seeing Paul successfully wear the crotch.

After "clustering" a cross cover, Westbrook, as a point guard, singled forward Bosh in the high post on the right side, and the ball continued to shuttle under Westbrook's crotch, and the "tall and big" Bosh couldn't keep up with Westbrook's rhythm at all.

With a "snap", Westbrook actually used a crotch piercing, and it was equally successful, he left Bosh behind him with a single step.

"Doot" was forced and there was no choice but to take a tactical foul on Westbrook from behind.

Being nakedly molested by his opponent made Bosh feel a little panicked, so Bosh desperately needed to prove himself.

In the second quarter, the game played 5 minutes and 11 seconds, and Bosh took the ball himself to signal that he wanted to single-handedly challenge the opposing power forward Aldridge.

Bosh changed hands behind his back + back singles + left and right, the action was very smooth, but unfortunately, the shot that leaned on Aldridge in the end was actually a tragic "airball".

"Wow" There was even more ridicule in the stadium, and it can only be said that Bosh was completely out of his rhythm today, and he was crotched and added with various airballs, which made Bosh's face extremely embarrassed.

"Da Zhuang, ready to play" In the midst of the noise, Gao Da Zhuang suddenly heard the voice of head coach Spoelstra.

"Toot" at this time the referee's whistle sounded, "Eastern All-Star team requests substitution"

The Eastern Conference All-Stars made three changes at once, with tall Zhuang, Garnett, and Lopez coming on to replace Wade and Bosh of the Miami Heat and Chandler of the New York Knicks.

"SHIT, what a nightmare today," Bosh, who kept muttering something, gave a high-five to the tall and strong man who had been replaced on the field.

55:45

At present, the Western Conference All-Stars continue to maintain a 10-point lead on the court.

But perhaps it was the fate of the Heat's teammates Bosh and Wade that spurred James, the league's No. 1 player.

With a "brush", James forced Durant into the interior like a bulldozer, and hit a small hook shot under the basket, and also made a foul for Durant.

However, the Western All-Stars counterattacked quickly, and soon Paul and Howard completed an "empty catch" cooperation, and Howard dunked with both hands.

Immediately after that, Paul managed to cut off the basketball from Irving's hand and stuffed the ball straight to Westbrook, who was rushing forward.

With a "Peng", the tall and strong man just caught up with Westbrook who was rushing with the ball from the side, and gave Westbrook a close weight to knock back a few steps, while Westbrook slowed down with the help of the impact. Easy layup.

59:48

The Western Conference All-Stars scored four straight points. Continue to maintain a 10-point lead.

"Run, run" James of the Eastern Conference All-Stars controls the ball at the top of the arc, waving his arms to direct his teammates to run, while his eyes are fixed on Durant, who is defending him.

But just when everyone thought James was going to burst through the middle line. "Smack". James jumped up suddenly. With both hands, he threw the ball vigorously into the tall and strong hands that were lying in ambush outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

The tall man who received James' pass suddenly bowed over, but to the surprise of defender Westbrook, the tall man did not rush forward with the ball. Instead, he pulled up directly after the bow and made a jump shot.

The tall and strong shot was as fast as Curry's, and Westbrook had no time to remedy it, only to watch the basketball fly to the basket.

With a "brush", the tall and strong hit his first three-pointer in the All-Star Game.

59:51

"Shoot beautifully" James, who slowly retreated backwards into the half, stretched out a finger and pointed at Gao Dazhuang and nodded, and Gao Dazhuang also responded with a thumbs up to James, indicating that the pass was good.

"Bang" just assisted the tall and strong James on the defensive end again, only to see him fly over from the wing, a beautiful supplement, and successfully intercepted the layup of the Western All-Star team Aldridge in the air.

After the "fast break" interception, James threw the ball forward vigorously, and several guards on both sides rushed to the basket at high speed at the same time.

However, it is clear that Tall and Strong and Westbrook are slightly faster than Owe and Paul.

"Bang" Just when Gao Dazhuang and Westbrook were fighting for the ball at the same time, Gao Dazhuang suddenly stretched out his palm and knocked the ball forward again, and the whole person suddenly leaned sideways and successfully stuck on Westbrook's forward path.

The tall man who took the lead then grabbed the basketball and prepared to go to the basket, but at this time, Westbrook took a tactical foul from behind, interrupting the Eastern Stars' counterattack.

However, it is clear that this direct confrontation of the tall and strong left a deep impression on Westbrook, and the tall and strong can constantly feel Westbrook's "dazzling" gaze when he makes free throws.

"Brush" and "brush" are tall and strong to withstand the pressure, and both penalties are hit.

59:53

The two sides then exchanged offense and defense, and the tall man not only hit a jumper near the free throw line, but also assisted Anthony, who was back on the court, to hit a three-pointer.

With 15 seconds left before halftime, the Eastern Conference All-Stars possessed the ball, which was also their last offense of the first half.

James controlled the ball at the top of the arc, his eyes looking at the time on the timer.

With a "snap", James suddenly accelerated, and although Durant had been prepared, James' strength made it impossible for him to completely block James' advance.

I saw James take a big stride, force Durant to hit the basket, and chose a very difficult pull-up layup in the face of Howard and Eldridge's blocks.

"When" it was a pity that James's strong offensive layup finally hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

But just when James forced the inside line, Gao Dazhuang also followed up the inside line from behind him, and took a big step and jumped on the reasonable collision zone line.

Just as the basketball bounced off the hoop, the tall and strong just took off into the air.

Time difference!

Although there are a number of tall players such as Howard, Aldridge, Durant, James, and Lopez under the basket, Tall and Strong is to seize such a time difference.

With a gentle pad with his hand, with a "brush" sound, the tall and strong basket hits, and the whistle scores!

"Beautiful", "Well done"...... After landing on the ground, the tall and strong were immediately surrounded by James and other Eastern players, and there were huge cheers and applause in the arena.

69:65

At halftime, the Western All-Stars continued to lead the Eastern All-Stars by a narrow four-point margin.

The league's top scorer Durant scored 19 points for the Western All-Stars in the first half, Clippers power forward Griffin also scored 12 points, another Clippers star Paul contributed 11 points, 9 assists and 3 steals, "Monster" Howard contributed 4 points and 8 rebounds, and Kobe Bryant also scored 8 points.

Only Duncan and Aldridge didn't score on the entire Western Conference All-Star team.

In the East, James, the "first man in the league", scored a team-high 16 points, Anthony of the New York Knicks scored 13 points, Wade of the Heat also scored 10 points, and only power forward Garnett did not score a point in the starters, only 3 rebounds.

The last starter of the Eastern All-Star team, Gao Da Zhuang, despite his first All-Star game, performed well, in this star-studded game, he contributed 11 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in the first half, and was the most brilliant newcomer. (To be continued......)
