Although this year's All-Star Game, both sides have been more serious since the beginning, but in the third quarter, the coaches of both sides are constantly changing the lineup, the purpose is also to allow all All-Star players to get reasonable playing time.

In the third quarter, Gao Dazhuang only played less than 4 minutes, and in these 4 minutes, Gao Dazhuang still maintained extremely high efficiency, not only making two defensive fouls for the opponent, but also grabbing 2 rebounds.

At 3:22 of the third quarter, it was Gao Da Zhuang's two free throws that gave the Eastern Conference All-Stars a 77-75 lead.

However, in the following round, Howard, the only player on the court with a talent for juggling, accidentally hit a hasty three-point shot to regain the lead of the Western All-Stars.

At 3:55 of the quarter, Gao Dazhuang was replaced by Cavaliers point guard Kelly Irving.

In the third quarter of the game, the best performance of the Eastern All-Stars was still James, although he did not score much, he firmly controlled the situation on the court, and in the face of the strong firepower of the Western All-Stars, he organized the team's counterattack well, so the scores of the two sides have been in a stalemate for most of the time.

And the Western Conference All-Stars have performed the best without being their starting point guard Chris Paul and starting small forward Kevin Durant.

And it was in the last three minutes of the third quarter that Durant received a wonderful pass from Paul, scored one after another, and opened the score in the final moments of the third quarter.

108：99

At the end of the third quarter, Durant added another 10 points in a single quarter. He has scored a game-high 29 points, while Paul has six assists in a single quarter, and his current 15 points and 15 assists are also very impressive.

LeBron James was the leader in the East, with 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, while Carmelo Anthony also scored 19 points, followed by 15 points from Tall and Strong and Wade.

The game finally reached the crucial fourth quarter, and it was really the decisive moment.

Just 30 seconds into the fourth quarter, Eastern Conference All-Star coach Spoelstra replaced Brook Lopez with Tyson Chandler.

At 1:15, Paul George was replaced with Dwyane Wade and Ruel Deng was replaced by Carmelo Anthony.

The current on-court lineup of the Eastern Conference Stars is point guard Kelly Irving, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Carmelo Anthony, and center Tyson Chandler.

At this time, the western troops also made corresponding personnel adjustments. The starting five are all on the line: point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Blake Griffin, and center Dwight Howard.

In Section IV. Both sides almost sent their strongest lineups, and although Gao Dazhuang was not sent out by the coach, he was still very involved in sitting on the bench and cheering on the players on the field.

Because he also knows that he is only a first-year "rookie", whether compared to Wade or Irving. He lacks some "experience". He respects the coach's choice. He also believes that the ten players on the field at this time are the best in the league.

"Oh" Whoever strikes is successful, the fans in the Toyota Center Arena will let out a shocking cheer, and both sides will have big stars. And there are more and more direct collisions in the race.

At 2:06 in the fourth quarter, James singled Kobe Bryant near the baseline wing.

"Peng", "Peng", "Peng" back-to-back sounds, in the face of James's strength, every time he squeezed Kobe, he was forced to take a small step back, but Kobe Bryant never lost his position from beginning to end.

Before Howard stepped forward to help defend, James turned his back and made a jumper, but Kobe Bryant also put his palm on James's face at the same time as James shot, completely blocking James' sight.

"Dang", sure enough, James missed the jumper, and Howard successfully collected the rebound.

The veteran All-Star Kobe Bryant no longer likes to steal the limelight on this occasion, but as long as he is on the court, he has an eye-catching performance, especially James's strong play just now, which makes him ignite his fighting spirit.

Bryant began to take the initiative to ask for the ball and faced Wade's defense after receiving it.

With a "cluster", Kobe Bryant near the free throw line shook and changed direction sharply, shook Wade in an instant, and cut into the inside line to make an easy layup.

114：104

With Bryant's layup, the Western Conference All-Stars have taken a 10-point lead.

Of course, the Eastern All-Star team will not rest on their laurels, especially James, who is seen in almost the same position and in the same way, forcing Durant's defense with a stride, and taking advantage of the situation is a pick-and-roll.

However, just when the basketball just left James's palm, there was a "snap", and Kobe Bryant suddenly shot out from the side and directly knocked James' layup out from the air.

Paul quickly launched a counterattack after grabbing the basketball smartly, and with a "clang", Durant received Paul's through ball and dunked in the counterattack.

116：104

Kobe's block made James and Kobe more energetic.

After the Eastern All-Stars served, James quickly found Kobe, "Peng", "Peng", "Peng" James pressed Kobe Bryant into the basket like a bulldozer.

At the moment when his foot just stepped into the paint area, James took advantage of the situation and turned around, pressed Kobe Bryant with his shoulder, hooked his right hand, and shot the ball.

However, Kobe Bryant is very experienced, and the moment James leans on his shoulder, he takes the initiative to take a small step back, and then jumps violently.

And the direct aftermath of Kobe's action was that with a "snap", James's shot was shot down again.

"Wow" The entire Toyota Center Arena was in an uproar, and the two consecutive covers made the "first man in the league" James a little unable to raise his head, and in the subsequent pursuit process, he fouled Durant in the counterattack.

"Brush", "brush", Durant hit both free throws.

At 118:104, the Western All-Stars gradually pulled away from the score.

"Toot". The Eastern Conference All-Stars were forced to request a timeout.

"We have to win this game" Back in the lounge, before coach Spoelstra could speak, James was the first to make his voice heard.

"We're going to play tough, we've lost to them for two years in a row, we have to beat them this year, I'm going to do my best to lock Kevin," James said and glanced at the crowd and stretched out his right hand.

"I'm going to keep an eye on Kobe, LeBron said it right, we represent the East, we can't keep losing" Wade, James' teammate with the Heat, stepped up and echoed. and put his hand on the back of James' hand.

"Count me in. Hit them, and today "03 Another member of the Golden Generation, Cameron Anthony, also reached out his hand.

Chandler and Irving and their bench players then gathered their hands together, but after coach Spoelstra laid out the tactics, James walked up to the coach and whispered something. During this period, James also glanced at the tall and strong.

Although nothing specifically was said by James. But the tall and strong still vaguely knew what James meant. He was also prepared.

Sure enough, at 4:05 of the fourth quarter, Irving fouled Paul while defending him. At this time, Coach Spoelstra waved his big hand, and the tall and strong returned to the court, replacing Kelly Irving.

In this way, the starting lineup of the East and West All-Star votes all appeared on the court, and the fans in the Toyota Center in Houston also gave great encouragement and support to the tall and strong who had just come on the court, and the huge cheers and applause resounded throughout the arena.

"Hey, man, we need your help," James said softly, putting his hands on his tall shoulders.

"No problem, I don't want to lose my first All-Star Game," said the tall man with a smile as he looked at James.

"Good, very good" Tall and Strong collided with James's fist 3 times in a row.

"Defensive, defensive" James immediately clapped his palms and roared loudly.

The Western Conference All-Stars attack.

Paul controlled the ball, and after making a few left and right shaky movements in a row, under the cover of Griffin, a pick-and-roll cooperation got rid of the tall and strong close defense and went straight to the basket.

At this time, Wade was very experienced, and immediately abandoned Kobe, who was defending himself, and pounced on Paul, who rushed forward with the ball.

However, when Wade's fingers just touched Paul's crop, there was a "cluster" sound, and Paul rotated 180 degrees "top", breaking through Wade's defense very quickly.

"Not good" Wade and James both secretly said that it was not good, and there should not be a single mistake against an opponent like Paul, otherwise the consequences would be absolutely fatal.

Paul, who broke through two in a row, faced an empty basket and took a jump to shoot directly.

The ball slowly rose upwards, and by this time Chandler and James of the Eastern Conference Stars were some distance away from returning to the basket, and it was clear that he was too late to stop Paul from scoring.

Seeing the ball get closer and closer to the basket, Paul showed a relaxed expression, but immediately, his expression froze.

When the basketball was about to reach its highest point, there was a "snap", and an arm reached out from Paul's ear, knocking the ball away with one palm.

He's tall and strong!

Paul already saw a tall and strong figure out of the corner of his eye, but this was not the time to sigh, because after the shot that was knocked off hit the rebound, the direction of the rebound was exactly where Paul was now.

Paul immediately jumped up and tried to make a layup on the spot, but there was one man who was quicker than him.

The tall Zhuang who had just covered Paul's shot immediately counterattacked, and with a "snap", the excellent secondary bounce ability and strength actually allowed the tall and strong to grab the rebound in front of Paul, and he also knocked Paul into a stumble.

After landing, Gao Dazhuang and Paul glanced at the referee at the same time, but the referee did not give any other instructions.

"Counterattack" Gao Dazhuang immediately took the ball and galloped towards the opponent's penalty area.

The rest of the Eastern All-Stars followed up quickly, but the Western All-Stars stepped back faster.

The tall man who dribbled to the front court looked around, as if he was looking for James, and at this time, just when Paul, who was defending him, had a slight slackness, the tall man suddenly started to accelerate, and his excellent explosiveness allowed him to break through the defense of the Western Stars directly from the middle.

The tall and strong took a stride directly past Paul and faced Howard, who was sitting under the basket defense......

"Layup? No, it's a pass" Howard smiled inwardly, because in the moment after the tall and strong entered the penalty area, Howard found that he glanced diagonally behind him out of the corner of his eye, and his hand holding the ball suddenly threw the ball backwards, and James just happened to cut in from the middle.

"Don't think" Howard immediately adjusted his pace and took a step forward, just stuck on James' breakthrough route.

"Huh?" However, the expected basketball did not appear in Howard's field of vision.

With a sound of "brush", with a burst of exclamations from the fans at the scene, the tall and strong layup easily won a ball.

120：108

Fake Fax Cast!

The tall and beautiful feints completely deceived "Warcraft" Howard, and the tall and strong who had just come on the court not only immediately contributed to the defense, but also broke the deadlock for the Eastern All-Star team offensively. (To be continued......)

PS: Today, Wiggins of the Timberwolves paid enough tuition, alas, it seems that the champion is not so easy to mix, the NBA competition is really fierce, and now it is sad to watch Kobe.
