Although Garnett's arrogant words were aimed at Kobe, the impact was really not small, in addition to Glen Rice, who was successfully interfered with by him at the beginning, Jason Williams, who lost defense at the moment, was also within Garnett's striking range.

It's just that the current Garnett didn't notice the expression on Jason Williams' face at this time, and he was "concentrating" on the output towards Kobe.

Garnett's voice was very loud when he said that, the media in the stadium circle and the fans in the infield heard it clearly, the camera lens turned around, and the long guns and short guns were suddenly aimed at Garnett, and some good fans also began to "howl wolf" at this time.

The sound of coaxing is endless.

The atmosphere in the arena became enthusiastic, even with so many spectators, Garnett still went his own way, chasing Kobe Bryant's "lesson" when he retreated.

However, compared with before, Garnett's mouth after the goal was much cleaner:

"Boy, my defense and offense, have you learned?"

"If you learn it, defend well, don't let Michael pass by you!"

"Oh~"

"I was wrong, how could a fool like you learn? I think a guy like you can guard against Michael? I'm so stupid~"

I don't know if it's because I've been with martial arts for a long time, Garnett, who has always liked to scold his mother straight up, actually started to get angry.

It's just that although his scolding words are no longer so ugly, these words fell into Kobe's ears, which made Kobe even more angry.

"Shut up!"

"I'll show you!"

"Get out of the way, don't get in my way!"

Just when Garnett and Kobe Bryant were arguing, the East had begun to launch a counterattack, Michael Jordan quickly entered the front court with the ball, looking at Kobe Bryant, who was obviously a little angry in front of him, Jordan's face couldn't help but show a slight smile, and then taught him a lesson as a passerby:

"Hey, boy, listen."

"The angrier you are, the calmer you have to be."

"Only then will you not get carried away by anger!"

When the words fell, Jordan, who controlled the ball, suddenly changed the rhythm of the dribble, and the double change of direction in front of the body successfully induced Kobe to move to defend and quickly accelerated from Kobe's left front to rush forward.

Kobe's reaction was half a beat slower, but when he caught up, he met the physical confrontation that Jordan took the initiative to give, and the pursuit slowed down suddenly, and Jordan, who flew past Kobe, also quickly entered the basket.

Duncan, who was on the inside of the West, reacted a little faster than Garnett at this moment, and quickly rushed out of the interior line and made up for Jordan.

Although Duncan's style of play belongs to the more traditional interior type, his talent is quite explosive, which is completely different from the "bulky" and "slow" interior players that fans have in their impressions.

Duncan, who rushed to Jordan at high speed, was very calm, did not jump blindly, but just shook his position with Jordan's movements.

He is quite confident in his reflexes and explosiveness, confident that he can complete the block at the moment when Jordan reveals his projection intentions, even if he can't cover it, he can form a powerful interference.

Duncan's calmness was obviously a bit unexpected by Jordan, and after a hesitation, Jordan was also forced to stop by Duncan at one step inside the free throw line.

Duncan is not Kobe, Jordan wants to simply use his body to push Duncan away, it is very difficult.

Jordan, who stopped, was forced to close the ball, stood up, and pretended to pull out, but Duncan was also very calm, just raised his arms and did not jump.

And Jordan also used his right foot as the axis to quickly step sideways after a false lift, and after attracting Duncan's defense, Jordan turned his back and lifted the ball again.

However, Duncan still didn't jump, just adjusted his position and followed up again. Seeing that there was no gap, Jordan stepped forward to the right with his left foot again, walked sideways, grabbed the ball with his back to the basket and shook it with his left hand, seeing Duncan turn around quickly, Jordan turned around with his back again, raising the ball to shoot, but Duncan followed again.

Michael is like a spinning top, after two crazy turns, he still couldn't get a comfortable shot, he had no choice but to use some tough offensive moves, grabbed the ball frame with both hands, worked Duncan's body, and then jumped directly against Duncan's body, actually intending to be strong.

Jordan's idea is also simple, he wants to create scoring opportunities with his excellent slots, and he can also draw fouls on him under intense physical confrontation.

Jordan, who jumped into the air, staggered his front and back feet slightly, turning into a sky walker, while staying in the air, the basketball in his hand was quickly lowered after being quickly raised, and then quickly stretched out from Duncan's armpit, and with a slight flick, the ball was dialed to the basket.

Duncan's body coordination in the air is also quite terrifying, Jordan's movements did not surprise him, only to see the jumping Duncan twist slightly in the air, his left hand quickly pulled back, and sealed towards the basketball.

Duncan's bounce was outstanding and his reach was excellent, but this time on defense, Jordan took the lead, Duncan's block missed, and the basketball began to rise rapidly.

Just as the basketball was about to rub on the rebound, Garnett's figure suddenly flew out from behind Duncan, jumped up, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and directly confiscated Jordan's pull-up layup.

Grab the hat with both hands.

The moment Jordan's layup was blocked by Garnett, there were bursts of cheers in the stands, and Garnett, who landed quickly, also squeezed the basketball in his hand, roared, and then quickly passed the ball to the vacant Nick Van Exel.

"Hey, Michael, can't you see me?!"

After the ball, Garnett was very excited, beating his chest with his passionate hands and roaring at Jordan. Garnett is already fully in shape, even in the face of Jordan, the first man in the league, he dares to "speak loudly" in front of him.

On the side of the court, seeing Garnett's fierce performance, Wu Dao couldn't help but smile and applaud, his mentality is very different from when he first entered the league, he is now able to sit indifferently in the rest area, watching his teammates on the court shine with the mentality of a spectator.

Garnett's ability to assist in defense is definitely the top in history, and when he is a teammate, this feeling of martial arts is not too deep, because what he thinks about on the field is how to score, how to defend against the opposing player alone, and some of the light of his teammates, he will subconsciously ignore it.

But watching Garnett play off the court felt completely different.

It's no wonder that after Garnett left the Timberwolves for Green Kai, Green Kai, a team with defensive efficiency in the middle of the league, was able to become the first in the league. If defensive stats could also be made intuitive and easy to quantify, Garnett's place in history could be further raised.

In the middle of the court, Nick Van Exel led the West to push the counterattack, and Duncan and Garnett are the types of interior players who can play fast, and after alternating offense and defense, the two ran towards the eastern half.

Nick Van Exel originally planned to play with his old Lakers teammates to complete this round of fast breaking, but when he approached the three-point line, he suddenly found that Garnett, who had just blocked Jordan in the backcourt, was actually rushing to the basket from the wing at this moment.

The movement of the body reacted faster than Nick Van Exel's brain, and as soon as the wrist flipped, the basketball was already sent by Nick Van Exel and flew towards the basket.

Garnett glanced up at the basketball in the air, squeezed directly past the chasing Jason Williams and jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand, and poured the ball into the basket.

"Bang dang!"

A loud slam dunk rang out in the middle of the stadium, and the cheers of the fans rang out in the stands. Even in the rest area in the west, Wu Dao and others applauded.

Coach Philip looked at Garnett with a smile on his face, clapped his hands a few times, and shouted, "Well done, Kevin!" ”

"Keep it up!"

Under Garnett's activity, although there were some small contradictions in the team, the team's momentum was successfully played.

No, after Garnett scored in the air, the East called a timeout, maybe he felt that Jordan was tired, or maybe the coach of the East felt that Jordan's playing time was too long, in short, during the timeout, Jordan was substituted.

The player who replaced Jordan on the court was a standard defender, the "Godfather of Crotch Luck" - Tim Hardaway, nicknamed the Bug (not the same person as Anfernee Hardaway, nicknamed Penny).

As for the western side

After returning to the rest area, Garnett yelled at Coach Philip: "Coach, Kobe Bryant is such a player that is too unteamed. ”

"This guy is all about one-on-one with Michael."

"It's okay to think about one-on-one, the key is that this guy can't recognize himself clearly, he doesn't have that ability, you know?"

"I'll go up and give cover, this guy told me to get out!"

"Hurry up and replace this bastard, I don't want to play with someone like that!"

Garnett is a straightforward person, and Coach Philip is their own coach of the Timberwolves, at this time, Garnett, who returned to the rest area, complained to Philip about Kobe's various inappropriate behaviors, and wanted to pressure the coach to replace Kobe.

Kobe, who was targeted by Garnett, just looked at Garnett coldly, silent, like a mamba preparing for a hunt, looking unusually quiet.

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, Kevin, it's just a little misunderstanding, there's no need."

"Focus on the pitch, you've been playing well just now, keep your activity up."

"There's a lot of fans watching the All-Star Game, and even if your family isn't there, they'll be in front of the TV to watch your show."

"Don't let everyone down!"

The time spent with Garnett is not short, Philip is very clear about Garnett's character, such a smooth donkey, of course, to help him smooth the hair.

Hearing Coach Philip's words, Garnett really restrained his temperament, nodded silently, but when he looked at Kobe, he still had a nose out of breath, and seemed to snort quite disdainfully.

The contradiction between the two was temporarily suppressed.

And as the timeout passed, the players from both teams returned to the pitch.

The East made substitution adjustments, Jordan was replaced, and after Jordan was absent from the Eastern team, Kobe Bryant also broke away from the state of "one-on-one win", although he was still sharp, but at least there was some "communication" with his teammates.

It's not a verbal exchange, it's a basketball exchange.

Kobe and Garnett also seem to be on the same page with each other, and both of them have to look at each other whether they are successful in defense or offense, showing off their achievements in both defensive and defensive stanzas.

The momentum of these two people also affected the rest of the people in the west, and the whole team played very tough.

However, tough is tough, Reggie Miller and Glen Rice are long-established stars after all, and their personal ability is undoubted, under the strong suppression of the West, Reggie Miller first scored two three-pointers in a row to help the team stabilize the situation, and then faked a real pass to assist Glen Les to cut into the basket and score.

And as the rest of the players in the East gradually gained momentum, the situation quickly became deadlocked.

In this situation, the second quarter passed quickly, and the single-quarter score of the two teams also came to 32:31, and the West got a one-point lead.

In the second quarter, the pace of the game was increasing on both sides of the offense and defense, and the number of rounds was quite high, and the offensive efficiency of the players was also in line with their level.

By the third quarter, both teams in the east and west made substitutions, and on the west side, Admiral Robinson, who had been holding back for two quarters off the court, came to the court.

Mitch Richmond also got a chance to play, and at the same time, Takeshi also returned to the court, partnering him with Duncan on the inside, and Kobe Bryant at the No. 2 position.

In the East, the adjustment was not too big, except that the forward 3 position was replaced by Antoine Walker.

When Takedo and the other players returned to the stadium, the spectators in the stands burst into cheers, with some fans chanting Takemichi's name with great enthusiasm.

Before entering the court, Philip quietly grabbed Martial Dao's arm, and in Martial Dao's slightly puzzled gaze, Philip whispered:

"Leave some strength in this quarter, I'll just let you play just to keep you in shape, and I'll replace you soon."

"It's an All-Star, and if you give you too much playing time, you'll be dissatisfied."

"Of course, the game is all about winning, and you need to be on the court at critical times, so don't have too strong a presence in this section."

Listening to Philip's words, Martial Dao's face showed a look of understanding.

People are sophisticated, he knows it very well-

It's everywhere, even in the NBA.

Takemichi nodded at Philip before entering the court.

It is not easy for a player like Wu Dao to thin his presence, and now he doesn't need to play any wonderful performances, just need to get the ball and stand there, the audience will naturally cheer, and his opponents will spontaneously surround him.

"Coach Philip really gave me a problem!"
