Chapter 193
"Be sure to stop him," James said.

Bosh felt his head sweating, and he wanted to, but he really couldn't do it.

In fact, James, Wade and Bosh played together very well today. If Yi Jian didn't disrupt the situation, it would be perfect.

In fact, it would be a better choice for James to switch defenses at this time, but it is a pity that James cherishes his feathers and is unwilling to take responsibility.

After all, it's okay for the All-Stars to lose, but it would feel a little wrong to be abused by Yi Jian.

Under the murmur of the East, they did not make any more arrangements against Yi Jian, but only said that they should be on guard.

As a result, not long after playing again, Yi Jian not only hit a three-pointer himself, but also assisted Billups and Durant to hit three-pointers respectively, and the lead in the West suddenly came to double digits.

At this time, the East's offense was still good. Wade scored 4 points in a row to help the East narrow the gap to single digits.

However, Yi Jian in the All-Star Game was really too strong.

He hit 2+1 next, which was almost desperate.

"Yeah, Yi Jian unknowingly scored 30+ again, ranking first in the game."

"Yi Jian didn't score in double figures in the first half, because he didn't exert his strength. Now he doesn't hide it, and directly scored the highest score."

"It must be the same in the Thunder. He feeds the ball to Durant first this season. If he does it by himself like last season, he will definitely be able to win the scoring championship again."

The time came to the last 3 minutes, and the West led by 9 points.

In the East's offense, Bosh directly held the ball for a layup, but was capped by Yi Jian.

The West directly launched a quick counterattack, Billups made a layup, and the West's lead came to double digits again.

The 10-point advantage was maintained until the last moment. At the critical moment, James missed a three-pointer, and the Eastern Conference fouled symbolically.

Nowitzki made two free throws, and the East did not continue to struggle, but went in for a performance-like dunk.

In the end, the West defeated the East 149:140, and Yi Jian won the All-Star MVP trophy for the second time with 34 points and 17 rebounds.

After the game, Yi Jian was also very happy to be awarded the All-Star MVP.

He said: "First of all, it feels like Dallas has provided us with such a great stage. I am delighted to have such a great honor."

"Thank you to everyone for passing the ball to me, thank you to my teammates, everyone fought together to win the game, and it feels really good to play with good athletes."

"Of course, I would also like to thank the fans for making me play my best game."

Durant didn't get what he wanted, and Yi Jian also comforted him.

"Kevin, try harder next time. But don't worry, anyway, the All-Star Western Conference will be monopolized by the two of us for more than ten years, and you will always win the MVP."

"Hey, why am I not in a hurry... No, of course I won't be in a hurry..."

Durant was a little incoherent for a while, "Damn, Yi, I will definitely win the All-Star MVP next time, and I will become stronger."

There was a game the next day after the Thunder All-Star Game. After sending his family away, Yi Jian returned to Oklahoma City with his teammates.

They are going to play against the Mavericks at home, and the Mavericks made a trade before.

The purpose of this deal is obvious, the Mavericks aim at the championship.

The Mavericks are dominated by Howard, who is in decline. The Wizards who are about to be completely rebuilt have traded for former All-Star Caron Butler and defensive wing DeShawn Stevenson. The weak link of the position.

In addition, they also got center Haywood, which is also a supplement to the inside.

The Mavericks really made a lot of money with this deal. It strengthened two weak links of the team, and their strength has improved a lot.

If the Wizards hadn't been completely rebuilt, the Mavericks wouldn't have been able to take advantage of this.

To be honest, a few people from the Thunder team just came back from the All-Star Weekend, and they don't know how they are doing, so they don't have much confidence in this game.

However, the Mavericks, as the All-Star host team, almost all the stars did not have a good rest, and they were a little bit unmotivated when they came to the away game.

This is the first game after the seven-man trade between the Mavericks and the Wizards, and it is also a running-in for them.

The Mavericks obviously wanted to welcome Butler, and kept giving him the ball after the start.

However, the quality of ordinary All-Stars in the East is really average.

Butler has the strength of a quasi-All-Star at most, or the one with obvious weaknesses.

His offense is strong, but the Thunder's defense is not effective at all.

Butler is used to attacking, and he will be anxious if the Wizards don't give him the ball.

But coming to a strong team, the feeling is still different.

He himself felt a little embarrassed when he missed consecutive hits.

Fortunately, the Thunder's three generals have just returned from the All-Star game, and their status is also adjusting.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were pecking at each other.

When it comes to the rotation period, the two teams are equally divided.

The substitutes played well, giving people the feeling that the two teams are very good as the western powerhouses.

It's just that the Mavericks didn't expect that Yi Jian and Durant quickly adjusted their status, and the Thunder's offense exploded in the second quarter.

The Mavericks were still feeding Butler. After seeing that the score was completely behind, they began to restore their previous tactics and let Nowitzki play the main attack.

Nowitzki is in good form today, but when he was about to show off, the team was already behind.

A wing like Butler who doesn't defend well is a scam when the offense is not good, and the Mavericks are a little underprepared.

With Yi Jian and Durant both hitting three-pointers, the Thunder's lead was close to double digits, and the Mavericks panicked.

Fortunately, the halftime whistle saved them.

However, the first half of the game has allowed the Thunder to see clearly the reality of the Mavericks.

I don't know how their strength has changed after the transaction, but before they get used to it, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.

After entering the locker room, Yi Jian stated that he would restrict Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks' offense, and that the rest of the team should continue to be stable.

The change for the Mavericks now is to change a scoring point. Their defense is still a bit problematic, and the Thunder don't care.

The main reason is that the Thunder's inside line is too strong, and the Mavericks' upgrade to the inside line has little effect.

Their strengths are not easily restricted by the Mavericks.

Nowitzki, on the other hand, had a hard time breaking out in the face of Yi Jian.

After regaining the feeling of the game in the first half, the Thunder players became excited again.

The temptation of a winning streak is still relatively large.

After the start of the second half, the Thunder at home were obviously in better shape than the opponent.

They upgraded their defensive strength, which caused problems for the Mavericks' offense.

The Mavericks hurriedly replaced Terry, but they failed to solve this problem.

The running-in of their new lineup was not smooth.
