NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 346 The only hope
Others don't know, but Russell knows that he has four super skills, which can infinitely magnify his advantage in the All-Star Game.

In this game, the Eastern Conference took the lead in scoring, and Wade made a breakthrough, but Russell quickly passed Duncan in seconds, and Duncan easily hit the rebound under the basket.

His passing is so comfortable, otherwise he wouldn't be able to feed the All-Star MVP before.

This year, due to the growth of young players in the East, their strength has become stronger. The 03 Platinum Generation is indeed stronger than their predecessors.

But the West is still not weak, that is, Kobe is only a symbolic layoff because of his injury, otherwise there is Kobe who is capable of winning and fighting hard, and Russell East still can't help it.

After Kobe can't play, Russell will have to work harder.

In the Western Conference starters, Dayao and Duncan may not be very active. Kobe can't play, so only Anthony is left, and Anthony definitely wants to play.

On the bench, young people like Paul and Roy also want to play. Stoudemire always wants to show off. Ray Allen doesn't care on the surface, but actually hopes to perform well in the All-Stars.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Russell to prevent the East from making troubles. The West actually needs a controller like him. Iverson still can't do it now, but the answer is that he won't make trouble now.

Now it depends on whether the head coach of the Western Conference will be sensible. Russell actually said hello in advance. Now the situation has changed. When he wants to rest after the end of the game, he communicated with Scott again.

Hornets coach Scott is actually more talkative. Hearing that Russell is willing to take Paul to play double guards and then give the Hornets two young All-Stars more opportunities to perform, Scott fully agrees with Russell.

Anyway, if Kobe doesn't play, he wants to go up to a guard. Scott couldn't do it too obviously. Now that Russell supports him, he is definitely willing to cooperate.

Some all-star players are unwilling to perform more. Their coaches will let their players rest when they are all-star coaches, but those are definitely old players. Young players like to perform, especially Paul, who has a strong sense of victory. type.

In terms of inside, Duncan doesn't want to play that much, and Nowitzki can play. If the driver is not good, Boozer and West will definitely want to perform, as long as someone takes them.

Therefore, players who are willing to rest should rest more, and Russell who is willing to play will lead them to win.

Now the veterans in the West are all good-natured types, and the remaining group of young Russells can completely call the shots without any trouble.

When Russell was on the court, the West and the East played back and forth, but the rotation lineup of the West did not play the East this time.

In fact, it is not a question of strength, but experience. Paul is still a little tender, and Iverson is not of any nature.

But soon, Russell returned to the court, this time Ray Allen and Stoudemire are still there.

The Sun trio quickly delivered amazing performances. Ray Allen and Stoudemire kept receiving passes from Russell.

The East wants to be serious, but it's not easy to stare at Russell alone, let alone the Suns trio.

The players on the same team have a tacit understanding. At this time, there is no need for pick-and-rolls, and only a more tacit movement is needed to create opportunities.

The Eastern Conference's defense can limit some of Russell's offensive methods. It is not so easy for him to shoot without a cover, but the pass cannot be restricted, the steal cannot be restricted, and the same is true for rebounds.

Russell's quick counterattack after grabbing a rebound is basically unsolvable among the All-Stars.

So the 10-point lead in the Eastern Conference ahead is just a matter of a few minutes for the Suns trio.

After the score became indistinguishable again, the West also began to make substitutions. After all, it was only the first half, and it was impossible to use a strong lineup all the time, especially when this lineup was not the starting lineup.

It's a pity that Kobe doesn't play, otherwise Russell can relax a lot. With a little cooperation between the two, those defenses in the East will become a joke.

At the end of the first half, the Eastern Conference went ahead by 1 point.

They were quite happy, and finally saw the hope of winning, and several young players also encouraged each other.

But it is still very dangerous, Russell is too difficult to limit.

After going to the lounge, a few Eastern players rarely talked about tactics on the All-Stars.

On the west side, Russell was joking with everyone, but at the same time he said with a smile that he would continue the tradition of the west crushing the east, and he must win the game in the second half.

In the second half, Wade scored first again, and Wade's impact was really good.

In the west, Duncan and Dayao are still relatively stretched, wasting Russell's few passes, but Anthony is still good, so Russell started to feed him.

In the All-Star game, players still need to have enough motivation.

Russell also started to command during the game. He is familiar with many All-Star players, and one or two reminders can have an impact.

It was a little difficult to score in the East, until James started to play horizontally.

In the All-Star Game, Duncan and Dayao didn't pay much attention to defense. Russell was a little speechless. It's better to be a young player. Howard in the East is not so humble.

Fortunately, the situation was completely different after entering the rotation. Russell partnered with Paul, plus Ray Allen, Stoudemire and West, and they played very well.

With Russell and Paul, Ray Allen and Stoudemire scored very easily, and the West suddenly gained the lead.

But the All-Stars can't keep playing. Russell went down, and Joe Johnson and Pierce in the East chased points together, and the scores of the two teams began to close again.

At this time, the West has already begun to mix in the main substitutes, preparing for the final strongest lineup.

Anyway, the veterans here are not doing very well, and Dirk Nowitzki is the same, but Boozer also played well after he came up. He and Stoudemire are the best insiders in the West.

After replacing James and Howard in the East, they began to take advantage again.

Now they are the energetic little emperor and Warcraft, and their physical fitness is obviously stronger than others.

At this time, Nowitzki and Duncan played together, and the two finally became more energetic. Roy also performed well on the outside, and finally did not give the East an advantage in one fell swoop.

The scores of the two teams have not been opened, and it is really rare for the All-Stars to play so tensely.

When the time was almost up, Russell played again and began to control the rhythm of the game.

The West also put on the strongest scoring lineup, only Russell and Anthony are left in the starting lineup, and the other three are Paul, Ray Allen and Stoudemire.

The East happens to be the main lineup. Their situation is different. It is true that the main lineup performed well.

"Everyone follow me to attack, it's time to reap the victory." Russell said to the others as a matter of course.

With Russell here, the players in the West feel very relaxed.

The East side is ready to fight. For some of them, defeating Russell in the All-Star Game may be the only hope for this season.
