Basketball Dragon

Chapter 225
Every player was relatively happy during the timeout, but when they returned to the court, their expressions changed. They were all eager to win.

When he came back from the timeout to attack the first position, Kobe took out a singles posture. He is the best scoring player in the West. Without a big center, he is indeed a better choice for singles with the ball.

To be honest, Marbury's defense was still in place, but Kobe turned around and squeezed inside, then turned over and made a jump shot. His movements were extremely smooth, and he ignored the defensive hit at all.

After the hit, the Eastern Conference's offense had to face the defense. Marbury and Li Hai came up with a Knicks-style pick-and-roll. Kobe was also very careful. When Marbury released the ball to Li Hai, he immediately switched defenses. past.

Li Hai caught the ball a little bit, but Kobe was not deceived, he immediately turned his back and squeezed in forcefully, his violent style of play also attracted the attention of other western players.

How to say about the lineup in the west, the offense is indeed strong, but the defense is a little tacit, and Li Hai has already seen the positions of his teammates when he squeezed in.

He suddenly threw the ball behind his back, and the others just subconsciously cast their eyes along with the basketball, and then saw James leaping high and directly smashing the ball into the basket, and Stoudemire completely did not intervene.

When the West was attacking again, Marbury stared at Kobe even harder, and Kobe couldn't play singles all the time. He passed the ball to Stoudemire, but Stoudemire caught the ball with his back, but he couldn't move James. Tadmire sent the ball to Ray Allen on the outside, and Ray Allen made the shot one step away from the three-point line.

At the last moment of the Western Conference, Ray Allen took a fancy to his three-point ability. Ray Allen basically catches and shoots. This is his style since the All-Stars, but at this time he is reckless. Some, Francis was not out of position.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced out. Li Hai accurately judged the landing and grabbed it first.

His rebounding ability is really thanks to his training in the Knicks. Two years ago, he would not have been able to protect the ball.

The ball bounced far away, Li Hai got the ball and started running.

It was a rare sight for the five people in the east to run, because these people were so fast, especially Li Hai, Wade and James, they left all the people in the west behind in one fell swoop.

As soon as Li Hai sent the ball forward, Wade immediately started to dunk.

When it was the West's turn to attack, the ball circled around the perimeter and returned to Kobe's hands.

When Li Hai saw Kobe's eyes, he knew that Kobe was coming by himself. He had studied a lot of top players like Kobe and knew him very well.

Sure enough, Kobe called his teammates for a screen, stepped over Marbury in one step, pulled up and shot.

At this time, Li Hai appeared in front of Kobe in time, and his ability to assist defense was completely and perfectly reflected in this instant.

When Kobe made the shot, he never expected that someone would pounce on him in such a timely manner, and it was already too late to pass the ball, and that was not his style. He used his powerful ability to stay in the air to slow down the shot, avoiding Li Hai's block.

But the ball was hit by interference, and James lived up to expectations to protect the rebound.

He dribbled the ball forward directly, and handed the ball to Li Hai after reaching the frontcourt. Li Hai controlled the rhythm like James asked for a screen.

Kobe squeezed past James when he almost lost his center of gravity, but Li Hai made another change of direction, this time Kobe couldn't adjust his center of gravity either.

Stoudemire didn't go up, and it didn't go up, Li Hai directly pulled up from outside the three-point line.

With a three-pointer, the East led by 5 points, with only 2 minutes and 54 seconds left in the game.

The game entered a timeout, and the Eastern Conference made personnel adjustments again and replaced Howard.

After taking the lead in points, there is no need for them to completely pursue speed.

The West's strategy is to continue to speed up the tempo, and a 5-point advantage in tempo is nothing at all.

After re-entering the court, Kobe and Stoudemire also had a pick and roll. Kobe rushed inside to attract the defense and then split the ball to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire took a step inside and saw that Howard was standing under the basket and didn't start, so he directly shot a jumper. There was a slight pause, and James also rushed over to interfere. Stoudemire hit the iron and was robbed by Howard to the backboard.

After reaching the western half, Li Hai turned his back to get the ball in a low position.

He doesn't have a great advantage in playing Anthony in the low post, but he catches the ball in the low post more for support. After taking a step inside, he turns around and squeezes to the basket, and then a fake move shakes Anthony's center of gravity, and then throws the ball One point to the middle.

At this time, it was because there was something wrong with the unusual Knicks. Marbury and James realized this opportunity at the same time and rushed over together.

James also reacted quickly, realized the problem, and immediately dodged to the side to block Anthony's defense position, but Marbury was still a bit slow in receiving the ball, and was slapped by Stoudemire for a layup. Marion scored a dunk.

150:147, the score gap is only 3 points.

At 1 minute and 57 seconds, Kobe made another mid-range shot, 150:149, and the score became even more tangled.

The East also requested a timeout. After playing, James missed a shot, Howard grabbed the front court, and Stoudemire actually committed a six-game offense in the All-Star Game.

This has not happened for a long time, and the scene also burst into laughter, relieving some of the tense atmosphere.

But Howard, who made the free throw, didn't know whether he was nervous or too relaxed, and he missed two free throws.

In the next round, both sides missed shots, and the score entered the final minute.

McGrady came on as a substitute in the West, and he didn't intend to go inside to the end, but the rhythm of the game still dropped, which caused problems with the shooting percentage of both sides.

"Kobe holds the ball, and all the players in the West are stretched out. It seems that he is planning to let him play singles."

"Kobe accelerated directly, stopped and fell back, and made a shot... At the critical moment, his offense became simple and crisp, with unparalleled confidence, and the West overtook by 1 point."

"There is no timeout in the East. Coach Larry Brown gave the last minute to his lover."

"The players in the Eastern Conference also pulled apart, and they handed over the last-minute battle to Li Hai... Also, if the Western Conference wins, the MVP will be Kobe, and if the Eastern Conference wins, the MVP will be Li Hai."

"It made a hit... the same choice, the same pull-up jump shot, it really makes people feel excited. The so-called skillful people are bold, but that's all."

"Kobe's shot two steps away from the three-point line at the last moment...missed, and the Eastern Conference won 152:151."
