Chapter 196 Crazy
“Crazy, crazy, these two guys are crazy!”

When Derrick Rose got off a Deron Williams defensive jumper with 36 seconds left in the game to raise his score to 36 in the game, the sideline commentary Kenny Smith couldn't take it anymore.

Derrick Rose made 22 of 14 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 9 of 7 free throws, 36 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Yan Hua made 24 of 16 shots, 7 of 4 free throws, 36 points, and 15 rebounds .

The last person who scored 35+ in the All-Star Game was Tracy McGrady five seasons ago. As for the last time in a game, one of the Eastern and Western All-Stars scored 35+. It will be traced back to the All-Star Game 8 years ago. In Michael Jordan's last All-Star Game, Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson both scored 35+.

And these players who scored 35+ in the All-Star Game, whether it is Tracy McGrady, or Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson, are all superstars, but now, In today's All-Star Game, two second-year rookies both scored 36 points. This kind of scene has to be shocking.

"Kevin Garnett's center of gravity is very low, and his defensive awareness and defensive positioning are very good. Compared with Chris Bosh and Dwight Howard, he looks obviously better. Yan Hua wants to use his Footwork, like Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh, is undoubtedly very difficult, but against Kevin Garnett, Yan Hua's height is also an obvious advantage."

After Derrick Rose hit a jumper and the Eastern All-Stars led by 1 point again, Rick Carlisle called a timeout very decisively. In 40 seconds, if the arrangement is proper, the Western All-Stars can still complete two offenses , and Rick Carlisle also appointed Yan Hua to complete the first offense after the timeout.

And Eastern All-Star head coach Stan Van Gundy also took advantage of the timeout to adjust the defensive strategy on the field, replacing Chris Garnett with Kevin Garnett, who had been paddling almost all night. Bosh, let him perform the defensive task against Yan Hua.

In the first few minutes of the game, Stan Van Gundy replaced Dwight Howard with Chris Bosh, even though Chris Bosh can give the team more offensively than Dwight Howard. Contribution, but on the defensive end, Chris Bosh is really unbearable, so in the last few tens of seconds, Stan Van Gundy is going to let Kevin Garnett defend Yan Hua, why Garnett?Because Kevin Garnett is old!It may be an exaggeration to say that he can't jump, but compared with jumpers like Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh, Kevin Garnett is undoubtedly much more "steady".

"It seems that only double-teaming can restrain this kid!" When Yan Hua hit a hook in front of Kevin Garnett, whom Stan Van Gundy had high hopes for, before the timeout ended, he was still fantasizing about Kevin Garnett. Stan Van Gundy, who was especially able to guard against Yan Hua, could only shake his head helplessly, and then sighed. This is the All-Star Game, and it is basically an unspoken rule to not double-team or go around when defending. In the All-Star game, he double-teamed his opponent, so Stan Van Gundy could only watch Yan Hua rampant under the basket, and had no choice but to do anything.

Although Stan Van Gundy was helpless and worried after Yan Hua hit a hook to overtake the score, but during the timeout just now, he had already made all the arrangements. Stan Van Gundy still tried his best to show a With a calm appearance, he stood firmly on the sidelines, watching Derrick Rose who was pressing time on the court.

There are 28 seconds left before the end of the game, so for the Eastern All-Stars, the best choice is to use up 24 seconds and then perform the last shot. As for the last shot, Stan Van Gundy chose Derrick Rose, who scored 36 points in the game, faced Deron Williams without double-teaming. The probability of Derrick Rose completing the offense is very high.

The closer to the critical moment, the longer the time. When Derrick Rose was standing between the top of the arc and the middle circle, slapping the basketball slowly, the Arlington Cowboys Stadium, which can accommodate 10,000+ spectators, was As if frozen, all the audience at the scene held their breath, quietly looking at Derrick Rose wearing the No. 1 jersey.

When there were only single digits left on the 24 seconds on the timer, Derrick Rose, who was slapping the basketball, quickly started to move towards the left side of his body after observing the positions of everyone on the court. He moved two steps horizontally, followed by an emergency stop and a change of direction, which directly threw Deron Williams who was defending himself out of two positions.

After getting rid of Deron Williams' defense, almost instantly, Derrick Rose completed the acceleration and rushed directly towards the paint area. After encountering the defending Yan Hua, Derrick Rose didn't pause or decelerate, and he completed a large change of direction directly in the process of advancing at high speed, getting rid of Yan Hua's supplementary defense.

"Beautiful!" When Derrick Rose got rid of Deron Williams and Yan Hua one after another, the next scene was already predictable, so when Derrick Rose got rid of Yan Hua and pulled up his body , After throwing the basketball in his hand to the direction of the basket, there was a burst of violent cheers in the Arlington Cowboys Stadium in an instant.

6.3 seconds, 116 to 115!Derrick Rose's layup helped the Eastern All-Stars to overtake the score again, and Derrick Rose scored 38 points in this game. As long as the Eastern All-Stars can win, Derrick Rose is well-deserved The star of the stars!
"Yan, after you come on the court, you will serve the sideline ball. After serving the ball, you will go directly to the basket to attract their defense. It is best to focus all their attention on you."

"Paul, after the timeout is over, you wait near the free throw line, and it's up to you to make the last shot!"

"Jason, you replace Deron, and after receiving the throw-in, look for opportunities to hand the basketball to Paul, understand?"

After Derrick Rose made a layup, Rick Carlisle called a timeout again, ready to arrange the tactics of the last shot, but when choosing the last shot, Rick Carlisle did not choose Yan Yan who performed well. Hua and Carmelo Anthony, but chose the seemingly unknown Pau Gasol.

Yan Hua performed very well today, and his singles success rate at the basket is also very high, but Yan Hua, who has already scored 38 points, is too eye-catching. In the next 6 seconds, Yan Hua Hua is definitely the focus of the Eastern All-Stars, as is Carmelo Anthony, so Rick Carlisle chose Paul Gasol, who is not so eye-catching, but has a stable shooting and a high shooting percentage, to implement this final One shot.
