Chapter 224 Playing cards out of common sense
Three minutes after the start of the game, Kobe took the initiative to stare at Li Hai, because the Eastern Conference had already led by 3 points.

It's just the three insiders in the West, and there will always be problems when defending.

The All-Star Li Hai helped James win the MVP last time. James also cooperated very well this time. The starting five players, except for O'Neal, are all very fast.

By the time the West realized the problem was starting to change its style of play, the gap was already there.

The lineups of both sides are not very reasonable, so no one can guard the other, and the West cannot recover the score by relying on the inside.

The starting lineup in the West, except for Kobe, doesn't feel very good. Seeing that the score gap is getting bigger and bigger, it's time for player rotation.

When it was time for the substitutes, the Western Conference had a stronger scoring ability. The efficiency of Stoudemire, Anthony and Marion was very high, and they quickly brought back the lagging score.

On the Eastern side, only Bosh and Howard can feel good on the inside, but the outside players are a little unsure.

The surprise of the performance is also more intense at this time.

In the starting lineup, not to mention Li Hai and others started to play, the three big men in the West were not very suitable for performing. At the end of halftime, the East only led by 80 points with 78:[-].

It wasn't until the All-Stars that they realized how terrifying the scoring efficiency of these All-Star players was without the system's defense. They scored some games in the halftime.

During the intermission, Li Hai also expressed his desire to keep the victory in the Eastern Conference.

Some players don't care much, thinking that he is making a big deal out of a molehill, but some players are very supportive. In the past few years, the west is strong and the east is weak. Even the All-Stars, competitive players want to earn money.

And Li Hai scored 20 points at halftime, two teammates and the coach will help him, the team can get more honors, one more is one, the coach and teammates are both present, this is obviously the best opportunity .

Among the starting players in the Eastern Conference, O'Neal is purely for fun. He is also afraid of being injured and will not play more. James will help Li Hai, so just bring an insider who can run at critical moments.

If the West ends up with a small lineup, it doesn't matter if they don't want the inside.

When he played in the second half, the atmosphere on the court was different. Kobe started to defend Li Hai strictly, "Li, I know you want to win, but I won't let you do it."

Li Hai responded with a smile: "I also know that you want to win, but I won't let you do so either."

The eyes of both of them changed, and they became more excited. For them, acting is better than having a good time.

But the All-Stars are All-Stars after all. Without the support of the defensive system, the two of them can't guard against each other, but the starting lineup still takes advantage of the Eastern Conference, which is different from what many people predicted.

In this kind of game, big men are more afraid of getting hurt, and Duncan and Yao Ming can't keep up with the rhythm at all, and they can't show their true level at all.

But driven by the two, basically everyone was fighting for real.

The West also took the lead in making adjustments, replacing a group of people with better athletic ability, and the East also replaced Howard. The young Howard was still barely able to keep up with the fast pace.

After the actual fight, there were still a lot of points, because the players on both sides were too capable, and it was impossible to double-team even if it was an All-Star, so the audience immediately saw the crazy scoring in the fierce game.

When it came time for the rotation, under the play of Anthony and Stoudemire, the West made a go-ahead for the first time in the second half of the third quarter.

However, Joe Johnson and Arenas also hit three-pointers. Although the West took the lead, it has always been only two or three points.

In the critical fourth quarter, D'Antoni couldn't bear it, and took the lead in changing to his ideal lineup, and did not follow the starting arrangement to play at the last moment.

Stoudemire, Marion, Anthony plus Ray Allen, leaving only Kobe in the starting lineup.

D'Antoni still has some regrets, as long as Nash is not injured, then the three of the Suns plus Kobe and Anthony will be his ideal lineup, and this lineup can only be used in the All-Stars. The big man wasn't very willing to show, so he just did it.

Seeing that the West took the lead in changing, the East also replaced Howard. While keeping up with the opponent's rhythm, they also wanted to improve their defense.

Larry Brown also has some regrets. This is not the ideal lineup in his mind. It would be great if the All-Stars in the East and West were combined. When he was in charge of the US team, he did not invite all the stars. He can only hope for the current team. The disciples were able to show momentum.

I have to say that the current lineup in the West is also very scary.

They don't have a traditional point guard, but Kobe's organization is also terrifying in combat effectiveness. In addition, everyone on the field has the ability to pass the ball. Their offense is also very efficient with their strong personal ability.

There are still some problems in the East. Howard is very strong, but he does not take advantage of keeping up with the rhythm of both sides on the court.

After Kobe Bryant's long pass Ray Allen hit a three-pointer in the fast break, the lead in the West has come to 6 points.

Larry Brown quickly made adjustments, replaced Wade with Howard, and completely played a small lineup.

In this way, the disadvantage of the East's height is even greater.

In the main lineup, Francis stared at McGrady, Marbury guarded Garnett, James defended Definitely, Li Hai played against Kobe, and O'Neal played against Yao Ming. Although the height disadvantage is great, the disadvantage is not so obvious. entertainment.

Now that James is playing against Stoudemire, and Le Hai is playing against Anthony, it's okay to say that the physical gap between Marbury and Kobe and Wade and Marion is still obvious, and the previous speed advantage is not so obvious now.

Without a team that has been training together for a long time, it is impossible to get up to speed at all, and it is too easy to make mistakes.

But when this group of All-Star players get together, something unexpected will always happen.

Li Hai and Wade made three steals in a row, even chasing the score back.

West also immediately called a timeout, emphasizing the problem of passing. These stars have outstanding abilities, and many passes are more imaginative. The opposite of imaginative is easy to make mistakes.

This pause also indicated that the two sides were going to fight for real. Apart from being unfamiliar, the coach had already started to arrange simple tactics, and the joyous atmosphere became serious.

"Our speed still has an advantage. We should strengthen our attack to the basket and retreat quickly. At this time, we can only get closer to victory if we grasp the rhythm."

"That's right, Amare has already fouled five times. Li, you are very careful."

"No one can threaten him in scoring in the Eastern Conference. As long as he wins, he will be the MVP. If he wins, you will have a treat."
