Chapter 289: A Decisive Blow, an Explosive All-Star!

Today's All-Star Game is a superstar-level, playoff-level game.

The cost to players is considerable.

In fact, most of the All-Star players can continue to play on the court, but the coaches of both sides have to consider their physical condition.

If the All-Star Game treats these All-Stars too harshly, it will be hard to explain to the teams behind them.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the rotation to ensure that each player's physical condition is not so tired.

Every player who can make the All-Stars is a player who can be recruited and can fight when he comes.

Therefore, such a big rotation will not affect the team's strength.

However, such a big rotation is a bit of a disadvantage for the Western Conference teams.

"Yes, Kobe, Anthony, Stoudemire, Yao Ming, except Stoudemire, other players have a lot of playing time!"

"Duncan and Iverson are not playing, McGrady's physical condition is average, and Milicic is not strong enough, which makes the Western Conference's rotation a bit short!"

Both Barkley and Kenny Smith are worried about the performance of the Western Conference All-Stars in the deciding period.

On the Eastern side, there are 12 players rotating.

On the Western side, there is an 8-man rotation.

Moreover, despite the fact that Billups and Hamilton are not that famous.

These two are both ruthless characters!

Judging from the careers of these two people, facing any superstar, even a super giant, these two people have never failed.

In terms of fame, Kobe and Anthony in the Western Conference are definitely bigger.

But judging from the toughness of Kobe and Anthony in this game, it's really hard to say that their role on the court is that big!

All I can say is that Yes, with such a Western Conference All-Star team, was able to drag the Eastern Conference All-Star team to the finals. That's really impressive!

Yes, this game has been played for 34 minutes, which is the most playing time among the 10 players on the field!

Although Yes didn't dribble in this game, not even once, he spent most of the time fighting with O'Neal in the paint!

Is it more expensive to hold the ball or to fight with O'Neal?

Even people who don't understand football know that physical combat with O'Neal will definitely consume more.

He played 34 points, scored the second-highest 32 points in the Western Conference, and also grabbed 25 rebounds and 8 assists.

This data of Yes is the only reason why the West can still stay in the game!

32+25+8!

Who would have thought that the person who scored this data was an outside player!

Now the physical strength is not on the Western Conference's side, but there are only 2 minutes left in the final game, so I can grit my teeth and persevere.

What's more, even if the Western All-Stars' physical condition is not as good as that of the Eastern All-Stars, they are still far from exhausted.

Therefore, although the Eastern Conference has the advantage, the final victory is still difficult to say.

The game restarted, and the first attack in the decisive stage was launched by the East.

Billups' push with the ball is very solid.

Kobe's defense is definitely the best in the league!

There are not that many players in the NBA who can remain calm when faced with Kobe's leading defense, and Billups is definitely one of them.

Billups was a little surprised after pushing the ball to half court.

In an All-Star game, Kobe actually had that look in his eyes? !

Being stared at by the Black Mamba is not that pleasant!

As far as this game is concerned, even if the Western Conference wins, Kobe will not be able to win the MVP.

There is no need for Kobe to be like this.

But Kobe still did it!

This reminded Billups of the 2004 Finals.

Did Kobe do this for O'Neal back then? !

Billups looked at Yes, who was chasing Hamilton not far away, with a look of amazement on his face.

It's unbelievable that Black Mamba can actually tell him something!

Billups observed the situation on the court and made a very simple decision to lob the ball to Garnett.

After Garnett turned around and deceived Stoudemire, he hit a mid-range shot from close range!

126 to 124!

Rivers on the sidelines shook his fist with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with Billups' organization this time. Billups did not receive any assists.

But he very correctly discerned the biggest advantage on the court now!

This is an ability!

When James was in possession of the ball before, he didn't have such insight!

Now James' passes are more for assists.

Insights like Billups always remind Rivers of Yes.

Yes's organizational style is similar to Billups's, but more concise than Billups's.

This is a very magical thing.

A veteran who has played in the NBA for many years is learning the organizational style of a rookie?

This is obviously impossible!

"Yes is running!"

"Yes is not with me anymore?!"

O'Neal was almost moved to tears!

Yes finally left him!

Facing Yes in one game, they lost nearly 20 offensive rebounds.

This made O'Neal feel that he lost more offensive rebounds in one game than he had in his career!

He really won this game!

In the past, he had some resistance to Yes's bullying style of play, but now, O'Neal feels that he has resigned himself to his fate.

There is really no other way!

When Yes competes with him for rebounds, although it cannot be said that he loses every time.

It should be said that the chances of him and Yes grabbing rebounds are 50-50.

But even if it was 50-50, he would still suffer!

As a defender, he should grab backcourt rebounds.

And every time Yes picks up an offensive rebound, it's a huge profit!

What's more, Yes grabbed nearly 20 offensive rebounds in this game!

Yesi no longer stays with O'Neal, and it is not cost-effective to stay with O'Neal now to grab rebounds.

Now the West needs scoring, not knocking off the ball or offensive rebounds.

If you can't score, no matter how many offensive rebounds you grab, it's useless.

Judging from this game, the conversion rate of his offensive rebounds into points is not 100%, not even 80%.

What's more, he doesn't get offensive rebounds every round.

Half and half.

Therefore, combining the two probabilities, the real scoring rate of Ye Si's offensive rebounding style is only 40%.

Considering the intensity of this game, this efficiency is already good.

But the final critical moment was not enough.

"Yes got rid of Hamilton's defense, James is ready to help defend!"

"Beautiful, Yes escaped James' help and did not attack. Instead, he jumped up and passed the ball to Stoudemire!"

This is the pot passed down by the great teacher!

It’s full of the childlike fun of a beginner, but it’s also urgent and fierce!

It is indeed difficult and weird enough!

Stoudemire is very excited!

Marion on the sidelines looked envious.

"Facing Garnett's defense, Stoudemire made a mid-range shot, 126-126 tied!"

"With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game, the scores are tied again!"

"Anthony is still working hard on defense! LeBron James finally charged up!"

"James is challenging Yao Ming!"

"Yao Ming's movement is too slow!"

"128 to 126!"

"Kobe passed the ball again! Kobe passed the ball to Yes who came out to catch the ball again!"

"Beautiful jump pass, Stoudemire succeeded! 128 to 128!"

"It's a tie again!"

This rhythm is already a bit suffocating!

Even Phil Jackson in front of the TV felt the sense of urgency!

However, compared with the urgency of this game, what makes Phil Jackson even more incredible is that Kobe's passing key has been repaired!

Kobe's current assist data in the regular season are also very good. As a shooting guard, he can assist more than 5 times per game, which is a lot.

But most of Kobe's assists are not specifically for someone to feed the ball!

Since Shaq and Kobe had a falling out, Kobe hasn't hit anyone else for a long time!

At the last moment of the game, Kobe was actually playing for Yes!

Yes's selflessness and dedication can even be infected by Kobe!

"The scores between the two teams are now completely locked!"

"The Eastern Conference relies on Billups' distribution, and the stars use their personal abilities to solve problems."

"And here in the West, everything depends on Yes's organization! After Yes assisted Stoudemire for the second time, he has already received 10 assists in this game!"

32+25+10 data!

A hand-to-hand battle between all-stars could actually yield such terrifying statistics!

"The time has come to within one minute, and every round of the two teams will affect the final outcome of this game!"

"Kobe's defense was a bit tough. Billups avoided Kobe's steal and hit a mid-range jumper. Billups' hands were too hard! 130 to 128! The Eastern Conference overtook again!"

"Hamilton was completely unable to defend Yes! Yes came out to catch the ball again!"

Kobe's passing is becoming more and more timely!

75…75…75…75…75

75!

"Yes's picturesque mid-range jumper, 130-130, the West tied the score again, with 30 seconds left in the game!"

"Both sides have one final attack left!"

asphyxia!

Barkley could clearly feel that the fans at the Thomas & Mack Center were eerily quiet!

An All-Star game actually felt like Game 7 of the Finals!

It's hard to imagine that a rookie player who has only played half a season can dominate such a game!

Even he himself would find it difficult to maintain such composure in such a game!

Is Yes really a rookie who has only played half a season in the NBA? !

Incredible!

His ability to handle the ball at this critical moment is incredibly powerful!

Comparatively speaking, James is okay, but still a little behind.

Billups is handling the ball in the East.

The last attack? !

Billups took a deep breath secretly.

The fans at the scene were very quiet, the fans were suffocated, and he was also suffocated.

This game is incredibly exciting.

He, a veteran who has played in 12 finals, has a trembling liver, but Yes can still be so calm.

According to his prediction, if Nash doesn't play and Yes doesn't hold the ball, there will be no point in the Western Conference to hold the ball and handle the ball at critical moments.

But I really didn’t expect that this guy Kobe would be willing to be ‘Rondo’ for Yes in the end? !

Yes played Rondo for me for 46 minutes, so what if I played Rondo for Yes for two minutes? !

Kobe ignored Billups' puzzled look and continued to follow Billups's defense.

By forcing the ball out of Billups' hands, his defense was successful.

On the Eastern side, Billups handles the ball too steadily.

Kobe was very unhappy with being teased by Billups continuously. This time, he must force the basketball out of Billups' hands!

Is this black mamba going to shed its skin today?

So sensitive?

Isn't it just a look, why are you so fierce?

Billups was helpless. Kobe didn't want him to handle the ball. This time, Kobe's defensive position did block his dribbling route in advance.

Billups had no choice but to put the basketball in James' hands.

"The Eastern All-Star's final attack is in the hands of James!"

Looking at the basketball in his hand, James barely suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, but his hands were still shaking!

Opportunity to kill Yes!

I now hold in my hands the chance to kill Yes!

As long as this game defeats the West and Yes, everything will be reversed again this time during the All-Star Weekend!

Before this game started, James never thought that this game would turn out like this.

There was actually a chance to win in this All-Star game!

If there is no buzzer beater, even if the Eastern Conference defeats the Western Conference, he will not be able to make up for yesterday's failure in the dunk contest.

But it’s different now!

Destiny, he once again got the opportunity to control his own destiny!

Is this God's favor?

James looked at Hamilton who kept moving. Hamilton tried hard to get rid of Yes, but couldn't get rid of it!

Even if I get rid of it, I won't pass the ball!

Garnett has trapped Stoudemire behind him, but it is impossible for him to give the ball to Garnett.

Since it is not given to Garnett, it will naturally not be given to O'Neal!

Now there is only Mero in front of him!

James really didn't expect that the person he faced for the final kill was Melo!

At the same time, he did not expect that Melo's final method of defending him was to use the snake release tactic!

He and Mero hugged and wrestled for a whole game, and this was the first time that Mero released a snake on him!

"Snake tactic! Anthony used the snake tactic against James. This is the first time Anthony has used the snake tactic against James in this game!"

"James now has a lot of space to shoot three-pointers, and James hesitated!"

"No time! James moved. James didn't shoot a three-pointer from outside. James chose a one-step mid-range pull-up jumper!"

"The rhythm of the shot is wrong. This shot is too difficult!"

In the end, James did not choose to take a three-pointer, but chose a mid-range jumper with less confidence.

This choice is very bad.

It seems that the distance is close, but in fact the rhythm is completely messed up.

The moment James took the shot, Anthony turned around and grabbed the rebound.

"Anthony's rebound was great!"

"Anthony is looking for Yes!"

Yes? !

James, who woke up from the shock of the failed kill, quickly looked back.

Yes and Hamilton have already rushed through the half court like arrows!

That's too late!

No, Melo's pass doesn't work!

James rushed towards Anthony as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Anthony is also in a panic now. He can't pass such a long pass!

"Mello!"

Kobe? !

Watching Kobe throw the basketball forward hard, James turned back in despair.

Yes has thrown Hamilton away!

"Nice fake run and fake catch!"

"Yes seems to know in advance that Hamilton is going to pinch his receiving route!"

After being deceived by Yes with a fake catch, Hamilton was desperate again!

Defeated by Yes' off-the-ball movement again? !

The former god of empty running lost again? !

Defeated by Yes, Hamilton knows what it means!

At the three-point line at the top of the arc, he catches the ball, takes off, and still makes a counterattack three-point shot without dribbling!

A swipe!

The red ball goes in!

133 to 130, a sure win!

Then, there was a bang!

The Thomas & Mack Center exploded!
