Chapter 485 Best Teammate & Best Opponent
Both sides scored more than 50 points in the first quarter at the same time, which is also a very rare score on the stage of the All-Star Game.

The scoring record of the All-Star Game is the 2017 All-Star Game. In that session, the two sides scored the highest scoring record of 192:182. Anthony Davis led the Western All-Star Team to defeat the Eastern All-Star Team with a single-game scoring record of 52 points in the All-Star Game, dedicating a wonderful battle for the audience.

Judging from the performance of the stars in the first quarter, today's All-Stars will probably break the scoring record of the 17-year All-Stars. Moreover, this All-Star Game is not a purely offensive game in the past.

In the first quarter, the players of both teams played well.

James sent 8 assists, Sanchez completed 3 blocks, Barrett's 10 points all came from dunks, Wade scored a game-high 15 points on the offensive end, Wallace picked up 7 rebounds, Chris also turned the All-Star arena into a street basketball venue, and swept the entire All-Star arena with his free kick style.

During the intermission, Rondo praised the team's performance, and the celebrities present were even more surprised by the performance of the juniors. During the short break of a few minutes, the James team adjusted the team and replaced Fox with Barrett as the main scorer.

This adjustment completely liberated Barrett's offensive firepower. At the beginning of the second quarter, Barrett relied on his outstanding personal ability to score 6 points in a row to catch up with the points.

"Barrett didn't enjoy dunking in the slam dunk contest. All his points today were dunks."

The audience was enjoying a pleasing dunk performance, and Barrett frequently bombed the opponent's rim, dunking the rim with a buzzing sound.

Of course, Chris will not allow the game to become Barrett's one-man show. On the offensive end, he and Barrett will once again form a mutual explosion. However, compared to Barrett's explosion, Chris's goals and layups are extremely gorgeous and fancy. Every goal is very difficult, and he can always send the ball into the basket in an incredible way.

"Coach Rondo is sending Barrett to the MVP position." Mu Chenfeng joked, but the fact is true. Now Barrett has surpassed Wade in personal scoring and has become the player with the highest score in the game. If he can continue to maintain this scoring momentum, according to the MVP "awarding principle" of the All-Star Game, Barrett will have a good chance to win the All-Star Game MVP for the first time in his career.

Rondo has been letting Barrett play the role of the main scorer, which is enough to explain the problem, and James has not scored in 5 minutes, but his assists have risen to double digits.

With assists in double figures, James was not in a hurry to score, he was still delivering shells for his teammates.

"His goal is not only a triple-double, but also an assist record!" Mu Chenfeng saw through James' intention at a glance. In less than half the time, his assist count has reached 11 times, successfully reaching the target, breaking the magician's 22 assist record, and it is just around the corner.

Muller made a mid-range shot from the outside, but the feel of the iron did not improve in any way, and the shot went wide again. Just when Wallace was about to easily hit the defensive rebound, James jumped up, took off the basketball that Wallace was about to get, and took it into his arms.

"What?" James' take-off height made it difficult for Wallace to be confident, and this kind of rebounding action like picking melons was an "insult" to him, the rebounding king.

"You don't want to grab any more rebounds!" James' behavior completely "irritated" Wallace. He knew how much James attached importance to triple-double data, and Wallace was the biggest "obstacle" for him to achieve a triple-double.

Since the rebound was taken away by James, all subsequent 6 rebounds were taken by Wallace, and his rebound count reached 10 times. The last time Wallace got 30 rebounds, he also got 10 rebounds in the first half. In the second half, he ruled the restricted area and grabbed 20 rebounds frantically. Today's situation seems familiar.

None of the three members of the James team robbed Wallace. Wallace, who was in a serious state, became more sensitive to rebounds, and his positioning became more effective. He often grabbed rebounds accurately under pincer situations.

Sanchez, who was evenly matched with Wallace just now, seemed to be struggling in Wallace's field.

Sanchez also has a good rebounding ability, but in the face of Wallace's absolute advantage, he does not seem to have much to do, but in terms of blocking shots and protecting the frame, Sanchez is obviously the stronger side. Although Wallace grabbed 10 rebounds, only one led to Wallace's direct goal, and the remaining 9 times forced him to pass the ball to other teammates.

"With Sanchez here, there is no need to worry about protecting the frame."

This is the confidence that Sanchez gives his teammates, and it can also allow his teammates to focus more on the outside line.

"Finally it's still a match." This time, through non-stop rotation defense, Wade switched to the position of defending Barrett.

"Heat dual-core civil war!"

The two hottest stars of the Miami Heat are facing each other on the court, and everyone is looking forward to seeing what kind of wonderful performance they will have.

Barrett's physical condition has reached the best condition, and Wade knows that if he competes against him, he has no chance of winning at all, but they are too familiar with each other, including each other's characteristics and shortcomings.

Snapped!
Wade saw the timing for Barrett to change his offensive rhythm, and swung his arm quickly. Barrett couldn't react in time, and the basketball was cut off. Wade immediately formed a fast break and advanced rapidly.

"Did you see Wade's actions?"

"no!"

"It's too fast, I can't see clearly at all!"

In a blink of an eye, Wade had advanced past the half court. Barrett quickly returned to the defense. Wade broke through the singles with the ball. Just when he tricked Muller and Sanchez's double defense and was about to attack the basket, Barrett slapped the damn basketball from behind and flew it out of the basket.

"It's not that easy to score goals!" Barrett challenged.

The heat's civil war was really hot. They all knew each other's thoughts, so they made the most extreme reactions and judgments in such a short period of time.

"These two are not only the best teammates, but also the best opponents. It is because of each other's existence that they can become better."

Wade and Barrett often have similar one-on-one matches in the team, and it is common for them to explode each other. The heads-up of the two also wins and loses each other. They continue to learn and grow in the confrontation with each other.

The shadow of each other can be vaguely seen from their bodies.
