Chapter 582 [Three-game winning streak in the east]

For two consecutive days, various evening parties made the players overwhelmed and were in a state of scattering the main players.`

When I came to the casino, most of them would want to play. They were inevitably distracted. The game almost became a decoration, which made the president David Stern a little embarrassed and misunderstood.

On the third day, the highlight of the star competition was staged, and basketball finally became the main topic.

Before the game, Western Conference stars expressed their opinions that they did not want to lose. Western Conference has lost two games in a row, and it would be too shameful to lose again, so they are ready to take serious action.

When it came to the main game, Wang Jun was also cheered up and knew that he could not play anymore. If he didn't perform well on the court, he would be disrespectful to the fans, and he was an All-Star.

In order to ensure his condition, he rested early last night to regain his energy.

Skeles is the coach of the Eastern Conference and D'Antoni in the West, which is destined to fight for the two teams.

The lineup chosen by the fans is unreasonable, but it must be done. Skeles sighed secretly that he could only let Wang Jun go to the bottom corner and wait for a sudden score, otherwise the game would be difficult to play, and the other four three-pointers would not be reliable.

Compared with the last time the star dance appeared, the way the players of this class played was much more low-key, just the host introduced and applause.

Wang Jun and Yao Ming are both very popular, and now there are many Chinese audiences. Many Chinese rich people come to travel in Las Vegas every year, and locals also welcome them to gambling.

East: Wade, Wang Jun, James, Bosh, O'Neal.

West: McGrady, Kobe, Garnett, Stadameer, Duncan.`

After Yao Ming was absent, Garnett entered the lineup as a substitute, and his popularity was still higher than Noviski.

The positional battle of Skeles arranged for Wang Jun to run to the right corner with a cover from the middle. James was responsible for controlling the ball in the middle. He could fight one-on-one or break through and pass the ball.

Wade was moving from the side, and he could hit O'Neal for a strong attack or pass Wang Jun in the bottom corner. Bosh was responsible for cover, with a flexible position, and O'Neal was in the low post.

Three big men in the West were able to defend and contract. After the opening, the Eastern Conference missed three consecutive shots. They were not accurate in shooting because they were afraid of contraction. James and Bosh were not easy to swing at the start. O'Neal also scored no points at the basket.

The West is determined to win and defend carefully at the beginning.

Garnett and Kobe scored a jump shot, Wade scored 4 points in a row for the Eastern Conference and completed a steal, contributing his first dunk in the game.

Kobe then made a signature backward jump shot. Duncan scored 4 points in a row, Sir Jr. scored a dunk, and the Western Conference led 12-4.

Wang Jun also began to wave, cooperated with James in the counterattack, and received a dunk with one hand, which won the applause of the fans. Then he ran to the right bottom corner and received a pass from Wade, making a three-pointer, scoring 5 points in a row.

After that, Wang Jun did not perform much and was replaced in 6 minutes.

The substitutes played very quickly, and they had many beautiful counterattack dunks. Their scores also began to rise sharply.

Paul's performance was eye-catching. After breaking through, he scored two close-range high throws, assisting Marion to score a comfortable all-over dunk.`

The eastern part of the festival was 31 to 39.

In the second quarter, Joe Johnson and Ray Allen, who were substitutes in the Eastern Conference, made two three-pointers, and McGrady also made three-pointers from the outside.

O'Neal started to play tricks again. After he missed the dunk, he made up his own dunk. McGrady next to him was not defended. O'Neal specially hugged McGrady's head and kissed him, as if thanking his opponent for "release".

McGrady's expression was photographed by the photographer, which became a highlight, as if she was molested.

A few minutes later, Wang Jun replaced Ray Allen and returned to the court, partnered with Lewis, Joe Johnson, and James. The Eastern Conference offense became unstoppable. He made three-pointers in a row. He failed to score, substitute center Howard also grabbed the frontcourt rebound and dunked.

Western Conference substitute center Oku's athletic ability is far from Howard. He is a little uneasy when he participated in the star game for the first time.

Eastern Xun widened the score gap to 15 points.

Commentary guest "Magic" Johnson commented: "The best three-pointers in the league are now in the East. There are many inside stars in the West and the big guys are outstanding. The three-pointers are not as good as the East. Today, only McGrady and Kobe are shooting three-pointers."

James also made a three-pointer, and his tactics targeted the lineup of three big men in the West. Skeles usually plays this game and is easy to use.

The situation in the second half became one-sided. The East no longer sent fans to play together, but the one big player led four small players, and the West players could not defend themselves at all.

After the formation is opened, Wade plays singles with the ball. If he does not double-team, he will not be able to defend against one-on-one. If Wade is double-teamed or the formation shrinks, he will immediately take the ball from the outside.

Wang Jun, Ray Allen, and Joe Johnson can all complete a fatal blow.

The Eastern Conference has been leading by more than 20 points in the third quarter, with James and Wang Jun the most active.

James staged two tomahawk dunks.

Wang Jun received the ball in the bottom corner and passed Nowitzki, who saved it, and broke into the basket with a backhand dunk, which also received applause from the fans.

He performed mostly outside the three-point line in the first two seasons, and he was able to perform dunks this year, which once again allowed people to see his progress.

Howard was energetic in the second half, grabbed multiple frontcourt rebounds, and almost all scored dunks!

He had an all-time call that caused Barkley to exclaim: "This ball is almost thrown on the rebound, but he can actually get it. His physical fitness is really terrifying."

Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Comparing with skills, Howard is probably the roughest in this star game. Compared with physical fitness, he is not inferior to James. He is one of the strongest players in the league at present."

Lei Allen didn't play much time, so he swung his way on the court, and together with Wang Jun, he guaranteed three-point firepower. When the two were on the court together, the Western defense completely collapsed.

The East has a maximum lead of 34 points. It won’t play well in the final quarter, and the West has recovered some points.

In the end, 167 to 143, the Eastern Conference won the All-Star Game for three consecutive years.

Zhang Heli smiled and commented: "Wang Jun led the Bulls to beat the entire league in the regular season, but he still beat the star game. The West has never led except for the first quarter."

Yu Jia sighed: "I don't know what to evaluate MVP this time, Wang Jun is similar to James's data."

James played for 32 minutes, made 11 of 2o shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Wang Jun also played for 32 minutes, making 11 of 17 shots, 6 of 11 of 3-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 29 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Howard was not bad, scoring a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Wang Jun is the most accurate and James is the most comprehensive. The league decided to award the MVP to James instead of the two of them being elected together. This has been done once before.

Chinese fans are a little regretful and hope that Wang Jun will win the award for the second time. Wang Jun doesn't care. I feel that the awards for the Star Tournament are not much attractive and the weight is too light.

Western fans are even more regretful and are embarrassed to say that the West is strong and the East is weak. In the past four years, the East has won three championships and has always won the star game. Where is the strong West?

The strength of the Eastern Conference is very obvious, that is, three-pointers. Every year, they rely on their performance outside the three-point line to overwhelm their opponents. Ray Allen's advantage is even more obvious after joining the Celtics.

Ray Allen made four three-pointers, Lewis three, Joe Johnson two, Arenas two, Wang Jun six and James four.

The Western Conference scored a total of 6 three-pointers, one Nowitzki, three Kobe, and two McGrady. It’s hard to pull it out, and it’s hard to break through, so it’s weird if you can win.
