Chapter 484 Talent vs Talent
That is to say, Sanchez and Wallace can play such a fierce inside card position. If it were other insiders, they had already lost in such an intense confrontation.

There were no suitable offensive opportunities inside, so Wade shifted his attention to the outside. The outside of Wade's team was obviously better than that of opponents Chris and Hudson, who could provide the team with sufficient outside firepower, so Wade passed the ball to Chris, who was already ready at a 45° angle.

Chris didn't directly shoot the open three-pointer after receiving the ball, but waited until Barrett's position.

"Right up!" One of the biggest highlights of this year's All-Star Game is the confrontation between Chris and Barrett, and the two are ready to match up as soon as they come up.

The last encounter between the two ended with the victory of the Miami Heat, but Chris played impeccably in that game, and he was not inferior to anyone in terms of statistics.

Chris adjusts the offensive rhythm with his extremely skillful dribble under the crotch.

In the NBA, you can't find any player with better ball skills than him. He was born in street basketball, and it is no problem to complete this level of dribbling.

Barrett's defensive attitude is very focused, with his arms spread out, blocking the line that Chris breaks through, while Chris uses constant changes of direction and shaking to find Barrett's loopholes on the defensive end.

"Worthy of being the best defensive lineup." Barrett's defense made Chris feel infinitely. After several twists and turns, he failed to find a suitable breakthrough opportunity, and his previous "fancy" dribbles did not work. Fortunately, Chris felt very good in the opening game. Seeing that there was no chance for a breakthrough, he simply took a step back.

"Three points?" Barrett turned to look at Chris, "I feel good today."

"To play against you, what if you don't feel good." Every time he met Barrett, Chris was fully prepared, whether it was a breakthrough or a shot, the touch was adjusted to the best state.

Just after being hit by the defense and making a three-pointer, Barrett immediately made a fast break. After receiving a long pass from James, he jumped up and abused the basket. After attacking for 4 seconds, he completed a strong counterattack.

At the beginning of the game, James will mainly help his teammates score. He received 2 assists at the beginning of the game.

In this All-Star Game, James still has certain requirements for his data. He is very eager to get a "triple-double" data in the All-Star Game and join the ranks of his predecessors. However, he has been only one step away from achieving a triple-double many times. In his first All-Star Game, he scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, only one assist away from a triple-double.

In the last time, he went crazy on the offensive end, scored 40 points and sent 16 assists, but failed to reach double digits in rebounding, because Wallace picked up a record 30 rebounds in the last All-Star Game, breaking the 27 rebounds maintained by Bob Pettit.

The difference between the All-Star Game and ordinary games is that the players on the court are all talented star players with a very high shooting rate, so the chances of rebounding are much less than in regular games. Therefore, the most difficult data to obtain in the All-Star Game is not points and assists, but rebounds. Therefore, James will help his teammates score on the offensive end at the beginning of the game, and he will focus more on rebounds on the defensive end.

After receiving a strong response from Barrett, Chris was not to be outdone. He used the pick-and-roll to break Barrett's man-to-man defense, and then showed off in front of Muller and Fox.

This goal was really wonderful. Except for James, who was involved in the perimeter by Wade, Chris passed the other players of the James team all by himself, and won the "four kills" with one pick and four.

Five minutes before the start, both teams shot 5% from the field and scored more than 100 points, setting the best start in the history of the All-Star Game.

The most amazing thing is James' data. He has already got 5 assists in 6 minutes, but because there are no rebounds, the rebound data of the two teams are all "0".

If James continues to follow this assist ratio, he will have the opportunity to break the record of 22 single-game assists created by Magic Johnson.

The first conceded goal of the game came from Fox of the James team. He was seen through by Lyles in a long shot. The latter jumped up to block his block and formed interference, which caused Fox to fail to make a shot.

The tactics of the Wade team are still very clear, hoping to find opportunities in the paint. The positions of Wallace and Sanchez gave Lyles a certain amount of space.

Sanchez shook his right index finger towards the sky after completing the blood cap. This is Mutombo's usual way of celebrating. He was called almost a foul in the regular season, but the referee of the All-Star Game still opened the net and did not break this domineering moment.

Most of the players on both sides showed their talents. James and Wade, who were only "watching" from the sidelines, were also itchy to watch, so they went into battle by themselves and ravaged the basket.

First, James, in the face of Wade's defense, was strong to the basket, and Wallace, who was pointing to supplement the defense, still controlled his balance and made a strong hit even under the pull, and got a free throw.

The other, Wade performed a stray step on the offensive end. Poor Muller once again became the background board of the "Top Ten Balls", watching Wade score the ball.

Coach Karl on the opposite side couldn't bear to see his disciples playing in such a "worry" on the field. In other words, he would have replaced Muller to rest, but Rondo didn't seem to have any plans to replace him. He wanted to play the first quarter with five players.

The defensive end was blown out. Muller wanted to use offense to save face, but the opponent really didn't give him face. Under the double-teaming of Hudson and Lyles, Muller was forced to make a mistake and the basketball was intercepted.

In the "talent and talent" game, the Wade team gradually mastered the rhythm of the game and ended the first quarter with a 55:51 lead.
