Chapter 632
With more than two minutes left in the third quarter, the East Army still held a 10-point lead. Deron Williams then had a good run of hands inside and out, and Durant hit a last-minute three-pointer from the buzzer, but the West still trailed the East 109-118 at the end of the quarter.
The score difference between the two sides is 9 points.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Billups hit a long-range shot from beyond the three-point line, setting off a small 7-0 comeback from the Western Army. Rose followed up with a layup to try to contain, and Billups followed up with another three-point jumper.
Billups' back-to-back three-pointers made the difference between the two sides one point. The score was 119:120.
By this time, the atmosphere on the field was starting to go wrong.
This year's All-Star Game, compared with previous years, it is an indisputable fact that there are many newcomers joining, if it is O'Neal, every year the All-Star will become a lot of fun, O'Neal can make the fans happy as long as he stands on this court and does something casually.
But newcomers also have the characteristics of newcomers.
The All-Star Game is a thing, only when you participate in it more times, you will gradually understand how to play this game, and newcomers will naturally be a little "restrained". Because they don't know how to play, the newcomers can only play in the way they are familiar with, and the way they are familiar with the game is naturally the intensity of the regular season.
Therefore, at this time, when the score was close, without the presence of O'Neal, the high-intensity confrontation between the two sides was advanced.
Some fans don't like such all-stars, but some fans like all-stars who engage in confrontation, which is that turnip greens have their own love.
Anyway, today's confrontation is indeed a bit early, and it has only just started in the fourth quarter.
When Chen Jiyuan once again held the ball near the three-second zone, he instantly felt the oncoming defensive pressure, and Stoudemire did not let Chen Jiyuan take half a step, but directly pasted Chen Jiyuan. Don't let Chen Jiyuan have a good jump shot.
Chen Jiyuan also understood for the first time, so he passed the ball to James on the outside, and the ball had to be reorganized to attack.
James stood on the outside and began to speak to his teammates. There was no communication before, it was all an exhibition game with each other, but now that it is really playing, it is natural to communicate how to attack and how to defend.
James stood outside the three-point line and instructed Mirisic to go to the right, signaling that he was going to attack alone, and the West side is not the starting lineup of the three forwards.
The five men on the court in the West right now are Anthony, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Billups, and Kevin Durant.
The five men on the eastern side are Chen Jiyuan, James, Wade, Mirisic and Chris Bosh.
The eastern side is completely the world of the 03 super platinum generation. And the best performance in the west is also Anthony, it can be said that the five 03 super platinum generation on the field has made people realize that the era of this league has changed, and it is no longer the world of 96, but the world of 03. It can be said that the baton is gradually being passed on.
James singled Anthony, the two of them have been opponents in a sense since high school, there was no contradiction between the two people, but everyone said to each other that the two people were lifelong opponents, and gradually, the number of confrontations between the two people on the field became more and more, and the confrontation became more and more serious.
Anthony stared at James's movements tightly, Anthony has the physical quality to become the top defensive player in the league, but Anthony doesn't seem to be interested in the dirty work of defense, and has been criticized for one-on-one defense since entering the league, but it has improved since then, and now it is much better than before.
What's more, it is James who is attacking in front of Anthony now, and Anthony's defensive attention is very high. The defensive nature is also very high.
James slapped the ball, slapped, slapped, suddenly, James accelerated, but Anthony still kept up with James's speed, James wanted to rely on his physical strength to completely crush Anthony is not so simple, James took the ball to the place close to the basket, and threw the ball directly near the basket.
As soon as Anthony turned around, he saw a huge figure flying in the sky, this figure received a pass from James, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.
After landing, everyone saw that this figure was Chen Jiyuan.
It turned out that Chen Jiyuan successfully got rid of Stoudemire's defense with the cover of Mirisic, took the first step, and rushed into the basket, and James also discovered this for the first time and threw the ball over in an instant.
After all, they are former teammates, and they still have a tacit understanding.
Basketball is a five-person sport, or the cooperation between teammates can make the team win, not one person can win the game if he is very good, nor is it a person who can double the number of cows and a person who can break a cow. It's not just addition and subtraction.
At the All-Star Game, it looks like the Eastern All-Stars and the Western All-Stars are both star players, which must be very bullish, but if you really let this roster play against one of the 30 teams, it won't necessarily win.
Because although the players are all All-Stars, they don't cooperate with each other, so they can't play tactics in the process of the game, and even have the opposite effect.
Therefore, in the All-Star Game, it is often the teammates of a team who are put on the court to have a very good effect, and these two people can show their All-Star strength in an instant.
The five people on the court of the Eastern All-Stars are not from the same team, but James and Chen Jiyuan are former teammates, so they are still familiar with each other. However, soon, Chen Jiyuan will find that James seems to be frequent, and he is more frequent, and he will cooperate with Bosh, which makes Chen Jiyuan a little incomprehensible, if you want to say something in common, that is, both of them are super platinum generation. But Wade is like this, why is there an invisible dividing line between James and Wade?
Wade will pass the ball to Chen Jiyuan more and is willing to cooperate with Chen Jiyuan, which Chen Jiyuan can also see. Wade gave himself face today. On the other hand, James and Chen Jiyuan also have a lot of cooperation.
Chen Jiyuan slowly felt that this all-star is not so simple. This is mainly because there is a big event next year. That is, several representative figures of the 03 Super Platinum Generation are all contract expiration years, and they are still completely free people, which makes people have a lot of room for fantasy.
It won't be surprising which team suddenly has a few more superstars next season, and it's time to see what the management does.
It wasn't until later that Chen Jiyuan reacted that Wade was showing favor to himself, although the reason was that he didn't know, but he definitely hoped that he could go to the Heat. It's just that Chen Jiyuan just signed a big contract, but even if it's not a big contract, Chen Jiyuan doesn't want to go to the Heat, although Wade has been really fierce in the past two years. At this time, Wade, with a good lineup, can still win the championship, just like with O'Neal, but soon, Wade will usher in a downward period in his life.
Although it is also the 03 super platinum generation, Wade's youth is two years older than James and Bosh.
Therefore, it is normal for Wade to enter the decline period first, and another important reason for Wade's decline is that he has been playing too hard in recent years, and Wade has also worked hard for the Heat, so Heat fans have no reason not to love this guy.
Wade obviously doesn't want to end up with such a championship, Wade wants to bring more things to Miami, bring more trophies.
For that, Miami must be strengthened. Especially the inside line.
Chen Jiyuan won't know that the 03 super platinum generation, except for Mirisic, the connection between the other four representative figures is still very close.
In particular, the relationship between Wade and James is very close. But that's not what you're showing on the pitch now.
After the players on both sides began to get serious, the scoring efficiency of both sides dropped instantly. Although on the offensive end, there may be a lot of communication and coordination problems between stars and stars, but in terms of single defense, the people here are basically very good on the defensive end, and there are even several top defensive players, as long as they are serious, it is naturally impossible to score as simply as in the first three quarters of the game.
So another 6 minutes passed in the fourth quarter. But the score on the field was only ten points forward. 129:130。
The East still maintained a slight lead.
The spark of the game began to grow stronger and stronger.
In the previous time, Mirisic had a lot of physical contact with Antony in the process of getting in a position, and the final result was that the two sides were entangled together, and the referee decisively gave a whistle, which is very, very rare among harmonious All-Stars. Neither of them birded, and the other left at once.
In fact, there was no contradiction between the two people, in the final analysis, it was still a little bit extreme.
At the time of the draft, Anthony actually wanted to go to the Pistons, in that case, not only would he be guided by Brown, a famous teacher, but also a group of very good teammates, and the Pistons at that time could be said to be the strongest in the league.
The following year, the Pistons walked away the championship on the Lakers' head.
The Pistons also said that they wanted to choose Anthony at first, but later, they changed their minds and chose Mirisic, which is one of the things that the Pistons regret until now.
Later, Mirisic sank, and naturally no one paid attention to it, but now that Mirisic is breaking again, Anthony is not happy.
Anthony doesn't know why for this kind of mentality, anyway, it's just unhappy, when the Pistons met the Nuggets in the regular season, the atmosphere between the two was very wrong. Later, the two of them became more and more disagreeable to each other. There have also been verbal wars with each other on Twitter.
It's also a secret that everyone knows that the relationship between the two is not good.
So it's not a special surprise that such a situation occurred.
Neither of the two men who were quickly separated was particularly excited, and both returned to their camps. It's time to get ready for the next offense/defense.
