I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 80

In this way, the stars on both sides played the entire first half.

The score is 66:68.

The second half began, and according to the tradition of the All-Star Game, the two sides began a real duel.

Iverson broke through to attract double-teams and gave the ball to O'Neal.

Under the strict defense of Duncan, Jermaine O'Neal missed a shot.

Yao Ming protected the rebound.

The Western All-Stars immediately began to counterattack, and Francis quickly advanced and forced a layup against Iverson.

But McGrady caught up behind him and slapped Francis' shot.

Iverson held the ball, and there was another wave of "defensive counterattack" in the opposite direction.

Running continuously, the Western All-Star team's defense was a bit chaotic. Iverson took advantage of the chaos and rushed to the penalty area. A super-difficult big tie rod against Kobe's layup succeeded.

66: 70.

Iverson finally showed his bloodthirsty side.

The West All-Stars attack.

Kobe broke through with the ball and entered the penalty area, attracting double-teams from Big Ben and Jermaine O'Neal.

Kobe was unhurried among the crowd, and passed the ball behind his back to Duncan who followed him.

Duncan took advantage of the opportunity to dunk.

boom!
68: 70.

The Eastern All-Star team attacked, and Iverson failed to make a breakthrough for the first time, so he immediately gave the ball to McGrady.

McGrady passed Liu He in the first step very quickly, and Yao Ming, who was facing the supplementary defense, directly stopped and shot a jumper.

Swish!
68: 72.

back.

Duncan missed a low attack, Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound and made a dunk.

boom!
70:72
Hehe, in the second half, everyone began to become more accurate.

I can't fly anymore!

The Eastern Stars attack.

McGrady's direct pull-up jumper from outside the three-point line
Swish!
70: 75.

It is worthy of being the scoring leader in these two seasons. McGrady, before the injury, really had no solution to attack.

His talent is there, even if it is much higher than Kobe, defenders can't do anything about him.

Whether you can get in or not depends on how McGrady feels.

The West All-Stars attack.

Kobe shot from outside the three-point line and returned the favor.

Swish!
73: 75.

The East All-Stars attack.

Carter rushed into the restricted area, facing the no-fly zone jointly established by Duncan and Yao Ming, even the "half-human, half-god" had to kneel down.

Carter's layup missed.

At this moment, McGrady rushed into the penalty area, grabbed the rebound, and completed the dunk.

boom!
73: 77.

It's Maddie again.

Even on this star-studded All-Star stage, McGrady's light still cannot be concealed.

The West All-Stars attack.

Francis broke through the penalty area, facing the defense of Big Ben and O'Neal, he could only retreat.

Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound and tried to make a second shot, but was slapped away by Big Ben.

Dayao, who is in the second grade, is still too immature, and was educated by the peak Big Ben.

The Eastern All-Star team took advantage of the trend and made a fast break. Iverson took the lead and performed a two-handed dunk in the frontcourt.

boom!
73: 79.

The West All-Stars attack.

Yao Ming hit Ben in a low post single, and after resisting Ben, he turned around and hooked.

Swish!
75: 79.

Yao Ming responded immediately and won applause from the fans.

You have to play like this, if you dare to hit me, I must pay you back.

That's what makes it interesting.

The East All-Stars attack.

McGrady relied on O'Neal's screen to get rid of Liu He, received a pass from Iverson outside the three-point line, and pulled up again.

Swish!
75: 82.

McGrady tonight is really brave and invincible.

Before you know it, the third quarter is over.

Under the leadership of McGrady, the Eastern All-Star team gradually widened the gap.

The third quarter ends.

82: 93.

The Eastern Conference All-Stars led by 11 points.

In the fourth quarter of the decisive victory, the head coaches of both sides lined up and put on their most trusted lineup.

Western Conference All-Stars:

O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, Liu He, Kobe.

The shortest Kobe is 198cm.

The second shortest Liu He is 204cm.

The other three are all over 210cm.

Phil is really obsessed with big man lineups.

Eastern Conference All-Star lineup:

Big Ben, Jr., McGrady, Iverson, Kidd.

The east is exactly the opposite of the west, only O'Neal exceeds 210cm.

The fourth quarter begins.

The Western All-Stars attack first.The fans were surprised to find that it was not Kobe who was in charge of the ball, but Liu He.

Liu He advanced to the frontcourt.

Duncan directly raised up from the low post and set up a pick-and-roll for Liu He.

The pick-and-roll from Wake Forest.

Duncan blocked Kidd.

Liu He took the opportunity to speed up and get rid of Kidd.

The Eastern All-Stars had to switch defenses, and O'Neal focused on Liu He.

O'Neal's footsteps were fast, and Liu He didn't take advantage of it.

But Duncan easily pushed away Kidd and ran back to the basket.

Liu He threw the ball directly in front of the basket, and Duncan took advantage of the opportunity to take off and perform an alley-oop to complete the dunk.

boom!
84: 93.

After completing the dunk, Duncan smiled sweetly, looked at Liu He, and was about to touch Liu He's head.

"Defend quickly!"

Liu He yelled and ran away.

Duncan had no choice but to withdraw his hand and ran to the backcourt.

The East All-Stars attack.

Kidd gives the ball to Tracy McGrady.

It seems that they want McGrady to take advantage of Garnett.

After all, from the appearance point of view, this is a standard small fight big, McGrady has the advantage.

But they forgot that it was Garnett, the invincible eight-legged spider.

Regardless of Garnett's height, his movement speed, jumping, flexibility... are all comparable to small forwards.

"From one defense to five, from one hit to five", others are just talking, but Garnett really does it.

I saw Garnett spread his legs and spread his arms...

In an instant, McGrady felt that a wall was blocked directly in front of him, and he was tightly guarded, with no room for breakthrough at all.

After a series of tentative steps, Garnett didn't hesitate at all.

McGrady can only give up the breakthrough and directly pull the jumper.

Garnett immediately took off to block the block, and the long arm was simply unsolvable.

Even if McGrady faced Garnett's defense, he could only try his best to twist his waist and abdomen, leaning back extremely to create space for the shot, and then he could make the shot.

But the difficulty of this ball is too high.

Missed the shot.

With O'Neal and Duncan at the basket, the Eastern All-Stars don't even want to steal rebounds.

O'Neal protected the rebound and found Liu He directly.

Liu He pressed his speed and pushed forward slowly.

After all, there are three big men in the team, O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett, and running fast breaks is not the optimal solution.

Playing position, the Western All-Star team is invincible.

In the frontcourt, Duncan had to set a pick-and-roll for Liu He again.

But Kidd was prepared this time and got stuck in the position ahead of time, preventing Duncan from succeeding.

As expected of Kidd, one of the best first positions in this era, with both offense and defense.

Duncan could only retreat.

Liu He didn't panic when he was entangled by Kidd. He used his height advantage to lift the basketball high and hoist it to O'Neal inside.

O'Neill plays big, isn't that also bullying children.

Although Big Ben is extremely powerful, he can withstand O'Neill.

But I, O'Neill, don't fight with you, and directly shoot on your head, how should you deal with it?
After all, Daben's official height is 206cm, but it is obviously the height after wearing sneakers with an explosive head.

If it is barefoot, it may only be 201cm, and it may even be less than 2 meters.

Sure enough, O'Neal resisted Ben, turned around directly, and took a frontal shot.

Daben could only watch O'Neal take the shot, there was nothing he could do.

Swish!
86: 93.

The East All-Stars attack.

Iverson broke into the paint and literally disappeared among the giants.

Even if he is Iverson, under the siege of O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett, he can only end up with a block.

On that day, human beings finally remembered the fear of being dominated by giants...

The West All-Stars attack.

Liu He continued to suppress the rhythm and slowly moved forward.

When you get to the frontcourt, look for O'Neal first.

O'Neal wanted to take the big money again, and O'Neal Jr. rushed to help defend.

O'Neal passes to Duncan.

McGrady defends Duncan.

Duncan threw the ball over the basket, and Garnett had already reached it, caught the ball in the air, and dunked it with one hand.

boom!
88: 93.

What are the three highs?
Those who ride horses are called Sangao.

O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett...

This is really hoisting the inside line of the Eastern All-Star team to fight, and after the fight, they will be put in a dungeon and submerged for three days and three nights.

The East All-Stars attack.

McGrady scored a super long three-pointer to help the team stabilize the situation.

88: 96.

The West All-Stars attack.

Liu He continued to lob the ball inside.

O'Neal continued to force his opponents to pinch.

Then immediately pass the ball to Garnett.

Garnett looked for Duncan again, and Duncan easily hit the board and scored.

90: 96.

The three highs in the west.

O'Neal is the most dominant player in NBA history.

Duncan is the "recognized" number one power forward in NBA history.

Garnett is the regular season MVP of this season, which is the best player of the season.

It is only natural for the three of them to blow up their opponents.

The East All-Stars attack.

McGrady also wanted to shoot from the outside, and Kobe directly marked the whole time, making McGrady's long-range three-pointer miss.

The top three in the West protected the rebound.

Liu He continued to advance slowly.

In the front court, Liu He continued to hang the ball in.

You don't need skills at all, just throw it directly to the basket. Who can stop the top three in the West from catching the ball?
But the opponent is a star team after all, not an ordinary team.

After being repeatedly blasted inside, the Eastern All-Stars finally responded.

The three highs in the West took the ball, and the East immediately shrank its formation, enclosing the paint area tightly.

The space of the top three in the West was infinitely compressed. O'Neal's final shot was very reluctant and the shot missed.

The Eastern All-Star team directly played a wave of defensive counterattacks, and Iverson made a one-stop layup.

90: 98.

The point difference returned to 8 points.

Another Western All-Star offense.

The East still adopts the strategy of shrinking the formation to make up for the weakness of the inside.

But this time the three high players in the West were prepared, and they were no longer in a hurry. Duncan calmly avoided the opponent's press, and then threw the ball to the top of the arc.

Liu He, who had been ambushing here for a long time, caught the ball, pulled it up and shot.

Swish!
93: 98.

The formation in the east was shrinking, which gave Liu He a chance, and the outside line was as wide as a prairie.

The East All-Stars attack.

Iverson went into the paint again, and he couldn't find a chance to make a shot in the siege of the three highs, so he immediately gave the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal caught and shot.

But saw that Garnett had rushed over.

Garnett's defense ability is definitely at the ceiling level, and his speed is too fast.

O'Neal was disturbed and missed a shot.

O'Neal protected the rebound.

The West All-Stars attack.

Liu He continued to control the ball and slowly advanced.

Owning the top three in the West, there is no need to play fast breaks at all, and I will slowly grind the ground with you.

The East still adopts the strategy of shrinking the formation, and did not change the strategy because of Liu He's three-pointer.

The top three in the West struggled for a while, and Garnett, who was the best at passing the ball, passed the ball out.

Liu He catches the ball, pulls up and shoots.

Kidd kept an eye out and jumped out the moment Garnett passed the ball.

But, Kidd is considered tall in the first position, a full 193cm, but facing Liu He, who is 204cm tall and 214cm wingspan, slowing down means losing the opportunity to interfere.

Moreover, Liu He has just improved his explosive power, jumping up faster, and shooting faster.

Kidd could only watch helplessly as Liu He shot gracefully above his head.

That's right, with the [Beautiful and Beautiful] badge, even if Liu He is just an ordinary jumper, he seems to have a sense of beauty.

It's a bit like McGrady's white horse and silver gun.

Swish!
and also.

96: 98.

Liu He scored two consecutive three-pointers, directly reducing the point difference to 2 points.

Beep!
Coach Rick Carlisle called a timeout.

The next round is very important.

The Eastern All-Star team can stabilize the situation.

Once you fail to score, you may be reversed by your opponent.

After the pause comes back.

The Eastern All-Stars handed over the key ball to Iverson.

Iverson lived up to expectations, went into the paint area, caused O'Neal's foul, and then made 2 free throws.

96: 100.

The Eastern Conference still has a 4-point lead.

The West All-Stars attack.

Liu He continued to hang the ball in.

The three high schools in the west were overwhelmed for a while.

The Eastern All-Star team can only rely on the shrinking formation to limit the top three in the West.

Garnett made the pass again.

Although Liu He was unhappy, Garnett had to admit that if a shooter like Liu He was a teammate, he was indeed trustworthy, and he would hardly waste open opportunities.

However, Kidd, who is "wisdom like a demon", did not give Liu He another chance.

He didn't forget to keep an eye on Liu He even when shrinking his formation, and he would defend him at any time.

As soon as Liu He got the ball, Kidd was already in front of Liu He.

Although he is not tall enough, Kidd can rely on confrontation and small movements to harass Liu He and prevent Liu He from shooting easily.

Liu He didn't force it.

Because he saw Kobe move, relying on the little space where Kidd took a step out, Kobe cut in.

No. 8 Kobe, the team attribute is still a little worse, but the intuition of smelling the opponent's defensive flaws is too strong.

Inside the paint, the Eastern Conference All-Stars wanted to stop Kobe.

But it was blocked by Duncan and Garnett.

What is a team-type superstar, such as Duncan and Garnett.

Not only are offense and defense integrated, but they can also do screens, organize, pick and roll, support... whatever the team needs, they can do it.

Seeing this, Liu He threw the basketball directly over the basket.

Kobe jumped straight up and caught the ball in the air to complete the dunk.

boom!
98: 100.

The East All-Stars attack.

Iverson failed to continue the magic, and the throw after the breakthrough missed Garnett's interference.

back.

The West All-Stars attack.

Because Liu He and Kobe fired continuously, the Eastern team's contraction seemed a little hesitant and not decisive enough.

O'Neal seized the opportunity, directly knocked O'Neal away and completed the dunk.

boom!
100: 100.

The Western All-Stars finally tied the score.

Immediately afterwards, the West team continued to use the absolute advantage of the inside line, gradually began to establish a lead, and expanded it little by little.

The end of the game, 122:113.

The Western All-Star team won the final victory.

The East All-Star team here:

麦迪砍下全场最高的26分6篮板7助攻3抢断2盖帽。

So far, the 2004 All-Star Weekend has come to a successful conclusion.

All players and coaches are about to invest in the second half of the regular season.

That night, Liu He, as the host, took Duncan, Yao Ming, Francis, and Josh Howard to dinner.

They were caught by fans in front of the hotel.

The fans asked Liu He curiously: "Hey, Liu He, why don't you drive the Ferrari that Old Bass gave you?"

Liu He smiled and said, "I can't sit down, I can't sit down at all."

After the words fell, Yao Ming, who was 229cm, Duncan, who was 211cm, Howard, who was 201cm, and Francis, who was 191cm, jumped off the big pickup.

The fans understood in an instant.

What kind of Ferrari can't sit in such a group of 5 people.

But then I don't know which wicked reporter said nonsense: "NBA superstars would rather drive a big pickup than drive a Ferrari."

This nonsense brought Liu He a lot of trouble.
