Chapter 1096 Jokic is ambitious(2/2)
After the first quarter, the Western team temporarily led 51:48.
Entering the second quarter, the coaches from both sides started new lineup arrangements.
In the West, Coach Terry put Wang Zelin and Lillard, who were bent on fishing, on the bench and sent out a lineup of Westbrook, Harden, Hayward, Love, and Jokic.
Apart from average defensive ability, this lineup has no faults on the offensive end.
The backcourt combination of Westbrook and Harden requires offense, explosion, and organization. It can also make many people dream back to the days of the Thunder's four young players and have a wave of memories.
Hayward and Jokic are both rookie All-Stars. They both have the passion and blood of a rookie All-Star. They can't help but go all out when playing on the court, which can easily make the scene exciting.
Love did not lose weight after joining the Spurs. His dominance in the low post is probably second only to Wang Zelin, and even Cousins may not be able to surpass him.
In the Eastern Conference, Stevens sent out a lineup of Thomas, Wall, George, Davis, and Cousins.
Judging from the rationality of the lineup, the Eastern Conference's lineup is both offensive and defensive, especially the forward combination of winger George Davis. The defensive threat has reached the level of a ghost.
Although the lineups are different, the players on both sides have one thing in common, that is, these guys are not like some old fritters and still have an urgent desire to win.
Therefore, under their leadership, the game is likely to get really hot in the first three quarters.
Under such circumstances, the score exploded in the second quarter.
The Western team's offense mainly revolved around Westbrook and Jokic. Before he knew it, Westbrook had scored 16 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds.
Jokic, on the other hand, showed a surprisingly high basketball IQ, fully explaining what it means to make a fortune silently. After being given some of the ball rights with Westbrook, he turned to focus on support. After two quarters, he succeeded
A near triple-double of 18 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.
After halftime, the score of the Western team directly exceeded 100, 102:97, still maintaining the lead.
The atmosphere in the Western Conference locker room is a bit strange.
At this time, even the slowest people have realized that this year's newcomer Jokic has great ambitions!
He was about to score a triple-double of 20, 10, 10 before halftime. This guy is going for the MVP!
Combined with his performance in the first two quarters, others have already sensed Jokic's attempt to compete for MVP.
Sitting on the back seat on the left side of the locker room, feeling the strange looks from the "seniors", Jokic's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he still remained calm.
Chapter completed!
