In order to regain his presence, James decided to do something.

When the game started and the players appeared on the stage, he and Wade walked to the technical table together, and the two of them held magnesium powder together to find the camera.

After looking up to make sure that the photographer at the scene gave the shot, the two threw the magnesium powder into the air together.

This kind of operation finally won him a wave of attention before the game.

Xu Yong was communicating with Rose about the opening tactics while playing at this time, and when he heard the fans' movements and looked back at this scene, he couldn't help but smile.

Why didn't he know about James' moves before the All-Star break?

But how much does it mean?

Didn't James find out, or pretend not to know, that there were three Bulls players among the five people who started this year's All-Star?

Especially among the three, point guard Rose is also from the Bulls.

What he said to Rose last year wasn't a joke, but something very tangible.

The Eastern Conference All-Stars aren't your Heat, point guard as a backcourt porter.

And in addition, this year's Bulls have the league's first record before the All-Star break, and the head coach of the East team is Thibodeau!

My teammates and coaches are my people, so is there really any point in doing that?

The game started immediately, and the starters from both sides came on one after another.

Eastern Troops: Rose, Wade, Xu Yong, James, Yao Ming

Western Forces: Paul, Kobe, Anthony, Durant, Noah

Yao Ming put the ball back in the Eastern Half and officially kicked off this year's All-Star Game.

Rose controlled the ball to the front court, Yao Ming pulled to the low post and pretended to ask for the ball, and suddenly turned around to block Xu Yongli.

This pindown tactic was a common tactic used by the Bulls before, and it is now also the starting hand of Thibodeau's pick-and-roll tactic.

Yao Ming's timing of the ball was very good, but unfortunately it was Kobe Bryant who defended Xu Yong tonight instead of Durant or Anthony.

And Kobe Bryant followed up and gave enough confrontation, which instantly caused a commotion on the scene.

In the All-Star Game of this period, generally speaking, the last quarter is played if you really play.

But there are occasional exceptions, and as for whether it is or not, it basically depends on the first leg of the opening game.

It can be seen from Kobe's defensive actions that this year's All-Star Game is the same as previously reported by the media, and the opening will be intense.

And the intensity of the All-Star Game, that is a fan favorite.

Xu Yong also understands very well, he didn't ask Yao Ming to block and dismantle again, or pass the ball to his teammates to play a more reasonable ball, but directly signaled to pull away.

The All-Star Game is never just about dunks or three-pointers, and this kind of one-on-one hard-to-head meeting is also very enjoyable.

Sure enough, Xu Yong's action became louder, and the coaxing at the scene became louder.

The opening was so exciting, and the tickets for this All-Star Game were definitely worth it.

Xu Yong began to play with his back to the single, and Kobe Bryant tried to cut the ball several times while giving him a foot confrontation, but neither of them kept it.

Xu Yong looked for Kobe's defensive center of gravity while protecting the ball, and at the moment when he grabbed Kobe's center of gravity to the left, he directly turned right to open the distance, and jumped back to shoot.

Because of his short training time, his technique of turning and leaning back is definitely not as good as Kobe's, and too much forward swing will only increase the risk of being broken, but his advantage is his size, so he has a greater chance of seizing it.

It turned out that his judgment was very correct, although Kobe Bryant's reaction was very fast, and he reacted almost half a beat later, but it was this moment that Xu Yong had enough room to shoot in the air.

The basketball crossed Kobe's fingertips and swirled across a parabola in the air.

"Huh!"

Hollow drop bag.

A burst of cheers from fans rang out at the scene.

While this is in Los Angeles, theoretically the home of the West, the All-Star Arena is more about performance.

Xu Yong's opening ball was tough and full of ornamentation.

Looking back, the Western team also understood, and after Kobe Bryant asked Wade for the ball with his back to Wade in the right high post, Paul quickly gave the ball over, and then signaled to open up the space for singles.

Wade said it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, but after the opening first round set the tone for the match, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

He gave enough physical confrontation before Kobe Bryant received the ball, and after Kobe Bryant received the ball, he tried to pull the ball with his hands.

However, Kobe Bryant is very experienced, lifting the ball high early, and then shaking his shoulders from side to side, he suddenly turned back sharply towards the bottom line.

Wade's reaction was not slow, and he basically pounced after a split second.

That's the intensity after the All-Star break, and the opportunity is basically a moment.

And obviously, because of the size, Kobe Bryant's chances are obviously not as good as Xu Yong's just now.

Wade's hand almost sealed Kobe's face, and Bryant could only adjust the angle of his shot, and then rely on muscle memory to complete the shot.

The basketball crossed a high parabola, ended up on the rebound, bounced off and fell into the net!

The moment the ball was scored, the Staples Center boiled instantly.

Although there is no home and away score, this is in Los Angeles after all, and because of the difficulty of Kobe's goal just now, the visual impact is stronger than Xu Yong's goal just now!

On both sides, this is the opening of the soar!

On the offense of the Eastern team, Rose advanced to the front court and ignored James's request for the ball and continued to give the ball to Xu Yong.

In fact, there are so many twists and turns between real teammates, especially Ross who has a relationship with Xu Yong above his teammates, he will definitely help Xu Yong without Xu Yong opening his mouth at all.

As for James or something, he is not a king of any village.

Xu Yong continued to hold the ball, Yao Ming mentioned the high block this time, and Xu Yong took advantage of the block and demolition to shoot a sudden stop-and-go jump shot.

Kobe Bryant was half a beat slower when the ball was around the block, but he still jumped up in the air to interfere with Xu Yong.

But Xu Yong's Mai Clangan pulled out his hand too high, and such interference was obviously not enough for Xu Yong.

"Huh!"

Xu Yong started with a hot hand, and hit one after another shots in the opening game.

And in the retreat after the goal, Xu Yong took the initiative to communicate with Wade and wanted to change defenses with the other party.

Since it's an All-Star Game, it's naturally how exciting it is.

Wade agreed, and there was no reason for him to refuse such a performative request.

It's just that his decision almost didn't blow up James on the side.

It doesn't matter if he can't get the ball on the offensive end, what is the situation of this teammate also cooperating with Xu Yong?

Kobe Bryant was also more and more excited when he saw Xu Yong switch guards, and he subconsciously recalled the scene when he faced Jordan in the first All-Star Game.

Xu Yong is too similar to him at that time.

The same youthful vigor, the same fearlessness.

The two faced off head-to-head again, and Kobe Bryant chose a frontal breakthrough this time, and after leaning on Xu Yong to the basket, he adjusted his posture in the air and hit a difficult backward wipe shot.

Xu Yong has already put a lot of defensive pressure on Kobe, but Kobe's strong waist has not dropped much because of age.

The scene once again erupted in cheers and whistles from the fans.

If they could, they would like to watch this attack and defense all night!

The photographer's next shot was given to Jordan in the audience.

Jordan touched his chin and laughed.

It's really hard not to laugh out loud when you see two talented players on the field using their skills against each other on such a big stage.

The camera cuts back to the court, and James finally has the ball in his hand.

Because just now he ran directly to the passing route of Rose and Xu Yong and completed a steal on his teammates.

It's also thanks to the fact that the camera was given to Jordan just now, otherwise this scene is directly a comedian.

James was holding the ball against Durant.

Durant was originally in a state of SVIP watching the show, but he didn't expect James to hold the ball and hit himself, and of course he wouldn't let the other party win easily.

Even if he agreed, the dozens of trumpets under his hands didn't agree either.

James doesn't know what a trumpet is, and he directly uses his body to fight against the strong Durant with the ball.

Durant really couldn't carry James, and was pushed to the basket by James.

But just as James was about to make a move, Noah's help was in place.

The tone of the opening game is set, how can it be possible for you to make a layup so easily?

What's more, although he went from the Bulls to the Rockets, the previous experience of Black Eight has been engraved in the DNA, and James will wake up automatically at this time.

The two had a muscular confrontation, and Noah's long arm directly fanned James's shot out of the court!

Whistles rang out at the scene.

Noah was also very excited after the block, and he turned around and found ...... Xu Yong, came with a high-five.

Xu Yong was a little stunned and didn't react, but when he reacted, he was also happy.

Noah subconsciously regarded him as a teammate.

James's ears are buzzing, this teammate is your teammate, even if it's your teammate, the opponent is also your person?!

East Force's frontcourt ball, Wade serves a sideline ball.

Wade was consciously looking for James, he was not stupid, and knew that James was in a hurry to get the data at this time.

However, Durant was embarrassed by James just now, how could he give James an easy opportunity to cut in at this time, and he used all his strength to fight James.

There was no way, he could only pass the ball to Xu Yong, who had just borrowed Yao Ming to cover the opportunity.

Xu Yong received the ball, and a fake throw shook Kobe Bryant, who pounced, and after seeing that Kobe could still make up for the defense, he accelerated directly to the basket.

Noah saw Xu Yong rushing up, and knowing that he couldn't stop him, he directly gave up a position.

"Bang!"

Xu Yong smashed the ball into the basket with a violent tomahawk with one hand.

James: Wade, you! You guys! _(′｀」∠)_

Xu Yong: I didn't expect it, it's really all my people.

There were cheers at the scene, and Xu Yong's dunk highlighted a fierce one.

And the photographer's lens was locked to Swift on the other side of the audience.

I saw Swift sprinkle popcorn into the air, and then danced .gif spot.

This is to fulfill his wish and dance for Xu Yong on the spot.

This scene also caused another whistle at the scene.

If they only guessed that Swift and Xu Yong might have some relationship before, then Swift's move just now shows that the relationship is not ordinary.

You must know that Swift was also a Comi identity before, but Kobe Bryant has a family, Xu Yongke doesn't have it, not to mention that the two are still the same age.

However, at this moment, Xu Yong, who was on the field, smiled and pointed to the direction of the big screen when he noticed Swift's dance on the big LED screen at the scene.

This almost confirmed the fans' speculation.

Now it's okay, not only teammates, opponents, but even fans are Xu Yong's people......

Kobe Bryant's continuous strong offensive physical fitness at this time couldn't slow down, and he chose to split the ball to the weak side after breaking through with the ball.

It was Durant who received the ball, and in the face of James' defense, he broke inside after a fake shot.

But James is depressed at this moment, how can he be proud.

He's basically sticking to Durant and not giving him a chance.

It was still very difficult for Durant to break through James when he had the advantage, and he directly chose to stop and pull out when he saw this.

It wasn't a great chance and James slammed it in.

However, Xu Yong has used the experience of the World Championships to prove that it is useless to prevent Durant from being so defended.

When Durant lifts the ball, your defense is already halfway through.

"Huh!"

This was proven once again, with Durant hitting James' defense with ease.

Poor James, before he could get over the ball that was taken on the offensive end, he was shot miserably when he returned to the defensive end.

Miami's beaches are snowing in February.

6 draws.

The intensity of the game on the field from the opening to the present is very high, but the offensive efficiency on both sides is high enough under the high intensity.

And the opening scene is that the stars bite each other one-on-one.

The performances on both sides of the opening game this year really fulfilled all the fantasies fans had about the All-Star Game.

The East Army attacked the front court again, and James stopped asking for the ball at this time.

Clever he has realized that the intensity of the opening game is not conducive to his performance, but after all, this is an All-Star Game, how can he play like this all over the court.

So what he has to do now is to avoid its edge, and when the time is right, he will travel at a staggered peak.

Anyway, no matter how wonderful your goals are, it's the same as a fast-break dunk, and you get two points.

In fact, James was right, after about five minutes of high intensity in the game, the defensive intensity inevitably decreased with the rotation of personnel.

Playing the All-Star Game, most of the players are still here to relax.

At this time, both sides rotate in large areas.

On the side of the Eastern Army, except for Xu Yong and James, who remained on the court, everyone else was replaced, replaced by Rondo, Bosh and Howard.

The Western Army side was more thorough, directly up and down, except for Kobe Bryant, who went down to rest, Westbrook, Ginobili, Griffin and Gasol played.

As soon as he saw this lineup adjustment, James instantly felt his spirit come up.

Westbrook went wide on a breakaway layup, and Howard grabbed the rebound.

When he got to the front, he reached out and asked for the ball at Rondo.

But what he never expected was that Rondo, who was evaluated by him as "the most competitive and smartest player", didn't pass the ball to him!

After seeing the opportunity to pass Xu Yong to an empty catch, Rondo gave the opponent a high-five in front of James.

In fact, there is one thing that James may not have thought about, and that is that when he was still with the Cavaliers, he had a very poor relationship with the Celtics.

Especially a player with Rondo's character, James has been his own subordinate for many years, and now he is running to the Heat, and he is very disdainful of James.

Could he change his mind just because of a flattering word from James?

And originally, playing an All-Star Game wouldn't be so calculating, but James's operations before the All-Star Game disgusted him, so he chose to follow his inner thoughts.

Well, it's all a show anyway, and I'll pass it on to whoever pleases me.

James was really confused at this point, because what he did seemed to be useful, but in fact it was meaningless.

Xu Yong, on the other hand, didn't do anything, but he had already won.
