Chapter 378 All-Star Game (Part 2)(2/2)

Although the Eastern Conference Stars did not perform well at the end of the second quarter, they still controlled the initiative on the court. Wu Feng did not perform well in the last two minutes of the second quarter, but espn's column reporter still chose Wu Feng as the interview target.

It was Wu Feng who revitalized the entire team's offense in the middle of the second quarter that brought the Eastern Stars back to life. And it was obvious that victory was very close to the Eastern Stars, as long as Wu Feng could perform normally.

Moreover, the Western Stars sacrifice most of their physical strength to defend the Eastern Stars, and they always play fast attacks, so their physical strength will definitely be problematic.

Therefore, for the Western Stars, a protracted battle is the most difficult. Especially because they are still on the backward side, the Western Stars, which consumed a lot of physical strength in the first half, will face a very big challenge in the second half when they are more intense, physically intensive and more frequent.

The third quarter started soon, and it was a bit surprising that the Western Conference Stars did not let Chris Paul play, which may have something to do with his intensive energy consumed in the first half.

Tony Parker, who came on the bench, took a tight defense against Wu Feng and kept drawing the ball from Wu Feng's hand.

However, with Wu Feng's ball control ability that has reached its peak, even Chris Paul cannot easily interrupt the ball from him. He always keeps two steps away from Wu Feng, which makes Wu Feng unable to have enough time to start.

Wu Feng took the ball to halftime and took about six seconds. Other players from the Eastern Star Team were surrounded by Western Star Team players.

Wu Feng was secretly surprised. Unexpectedly, after Chris Paul left the game, the defense of the Western Conference Stars made people even more troublesome.

After the third quarter, the Eastern Conference Stars suddenly felt cold on the outside. Only Wu Feng made a goal at the beginning of the game. Several other players did not seem to find the basket in the next few long shots from outside, and even had a bad phenomenon of not touching the three.

Moreover, in the second half, the Western Conference Stars played their most confident defense. Blake Griffin not only defended the inside, but also pulled out to defend the outside. It has to be said that Blake Griffin's defense range is very large.

But this also brought a problem to Greg Povich, because with a defense like Blake Griffin, it consumed a lot of energy for him.

However, Greg Povich may want to use the strict defense to catch up with the score difference first, and then change the defensive tactics.

The defense of the Western Stars made the Eastern Stars very worried. They even were defended by the Western Stars twice for 24-second offensive violations.

The outside line couldn't be opened, and the Eastern Stars team was not too persistent. Several players rushed into the penalty area without mercy. After Dwyane Wade and LeBron James succeeded one after another, the Eastern Stars team took a double-digit lead with more than seven minutes left in the third quarter, with more than seven minutes left.

After Chris Paul left the court, the Western Conference Stars were obviously in a dilemma of offense paralysis. Several main players did a great job in defense, but they had little effect on offense, and the offensive time was unreasonable. There were many things that missed scoring opportunities in vain. If Blake Griffin had not been able to succeed in playing singles at the basket in succession, the score difference would have been even bigger.

After the Western Stars coach Greg Povich called the timeout, Eric Spoelstra was very dissatisfied with the team's current offense. The team's offense in the past few minutes was very unsatisfactory. The outside line couldn't break the deadlock, and the inside line's two sneak attacks made the Western Stars' inside line more alert. It is probably not that easy to succeed again.

Wu Feng couldn't say anything about the pain in his heart. He used to think that Tony Parker's offense was good and his defense was much worse. But he didn't expect that just now, he actually threatened him. The repeated small moves made him angry. Fortunately, he could still control his emotions.

Under the defense of Western Stars players without any effort, the Eastern Stars' offense began to appear more impatient. Wu Feng's pass was still so sharp, but he could not bring much help to his teammates. He made a hurry to shoot several times in a row. The balls smashed the basket, and Zach Randolph's backcourt rebound was well controlled.

When the Eastern Stars team suffered repeated setbacks in offenses, the Western Stars team played more solidly, and Tony Parker always controlled the rhythm of the game. It doesn't matter if the fast attack is not done. He immediately went into positional battles. If the pass was not in place once, it didn't matter. The ball was passed back to the outside line. As the ball was constantly running, the Western Stars team carefully looked for opportunities to take action. Such a sports battle was originally the best way to play, but now the Eastern Stars team attacked in a mess, and the Western Stars team played with a solid and eye-catching manner.

After Chris Bosh grabbed a backcourt rebound and Wu Feng dribbled the ball through halftime, Eric Spoelstra decisively called a timeout.

In the more than four minutes after the timeout, the Eastern Stars team only made three goals and scored 8 points in a row with free throws. Although the Western Stars team did not set off a scoring craze, they also scored 11 points. The score of both sides at this time was 74:67, and the Western Stars team was only 7 points behind the Eastern Stars team.

With Chris Paul off the court, the Western Conference Stars team played away, the score difference between the Western Conference Stars team further narrowed the score difference.

To this end, Eastern Stars coach Eric Spoelstra specifically called for a timeout, criticizing the players' style of playing.

Chris Paul played with more than five minutes left in the third quarter. At this time, the four giants of the Western Conference Stars gathered.

The Eastern Conference Stars attacked, Wu Feng took the ball through the half and handed the ball to Dwyne Wade. Dwyne Wade broke through with the ball, faced Kobe's defense, and made a quick stop and jump shot. With a "clang", it was iron.

Chris Paul, who had just come on the court, grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Kobe.

"Peter" quickly led the ball through half, and his first pass target was naturally Chris Paul.

However, since the moment Chris Paul came on the court, Wu Feng has been firmly following him. At this moment, Eric Spoelstra naturally handed over the heavy responsibility of defending Chris Paul to Wu Feng, and other Eastern Star players can come forward to defend at any time.

Chris Paul broke through with the ball, attracted the players to make up for defense, and quickly handed the ball to Blake Griffin.

At this time, Blake Griffin was in an open position. However, his shot failed to hit, and Wu Feng fought for the defensive rebound.

Andre Iguodala's mid-range shot missed, and the ball rights returned to the hands of the Western Conference Stars again. Chris Paul, who still had a huge palm, grabbed the defensive rebound.

Both sides had bad mid-range shooting percentages in these two attacks. However, both sides were able to protect their respective rebounds.

The "Peter" made a sneak attack from outside the three-point line, and the Western Conference Stars finally broke the deadlock of no-scoring and narrowed the gap between the two sides to 4 points.

Eric Spoelstra immediately called for a timeout.

LeBron James' overall shooting percentage today is not high, so far, only six of fourteen shots, but his performance at the three-point line is amazing. So far, he has made four of five three-pointers.

After the timeout, LeBron James continued his previous performance and made a simple gap with Wu Feng, and made a three-pointer from the bottom line.

Tony Parker, who replaced Kobe, dribbled the ball through the half. Without too much sticking, he quickly handed the ball to Chris Paul. At this time, only Wu Feng was by his side, although not far away. There were other Eastern Star players eyeing him, but the situation was much better than the previous double-team.

A step back opened the distance between the two, Chris Paul hung high, and the ball quickly passed over Wu Feng's head, and Kevin Durant turned and jumped to make a jump shot.

…………

There are 38.2 seconds left in the third quarter, Wu Feng speeds up the pace and tries to get another offensive opportunity after the end of this offense.

Wu Feng cleverly dribbled the ball and used his super explosive power to squeeze through Chris Paul. At the same time, the ball was quickly passed and accurately handed to the bottom line LeBron James. The latter easily shot the ball, and he rarely missed such a shot.

There are 31.4 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Western Conference Stars' offense.

Chris Paul broke through with the ball, using Tony Parker's pick-and-roll, and shot in the middle distance. Unfortunately, the ball was short and hit the front of the ring, bounced back, and the rebound was snatched by Wu Feng.

Wu Feng protected the ball and slowly headed towards the Western Stars half. There were 22.9 seconds left. Wu Feng must have spent the last 22.9 seconds.

Time passed by seconds, and sweat came out from Wu Feng's forehead. But he didn't care about this. At this moment, Chris Paul was standing in front of him with great confidence and tried his best to defend the last ball.

Suddenly, Wu Feng moved because there were only the last 8 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

Wu Feng broke through with the ball and then passed it back to Dwayne Wade. After Dwayne Wade received the ball from the bottom line, he tricked the young Tony Parker into a fake move and then dribbled towards the basket.

Seeing this, Andrew Bynum immediately made up.

At this time, Paul Pierce of the Eastern Stars naturally came out.

Dwyne Wade flipped his hand and the ball had reached Paul Pierce's hand. The latter shouted loudly, then poured the ball into the basket with both hands.

Paul Pierce grabbed the frame with both hands, and the basket was shaking. The audience was shocked by his slam dunk. The last wave of the Eastern Stars' offense was too perfect, too clever, and too incredible.

With Paul Pierce successfully dunked, the third quarter ended like this.

At the end of the third quarter, the Eastern Conference Stars led the Western Conference Stars 86:77 and entered the fourth quarter by 9 points, which is the last quarter of the All-Star Weekend.

Previously, the Eastern Stars had been forced into a desperate situation by the Western Stars, and the score difference was once narrowed to 2 points. However, at the critical moment, the Eastern Stars strengthened their defense, Dwight Howard, the inside "Warcraft" Dwight Howard, LeBron James on the front line and Wu Feng on the back line, formed a strong defensive gate, defending the Western Stars' counterattack in one fell swoop.

Then, Dwyne Wade and Dwight Howard at the basket began to score, slowly widening the gap. Until the end of the third quarter, the Eastern Conference Stars finally widened the gap to 9 points.

Although it is only 9 points ahead of the opponent, it can be said that the current situation on the field is already on the side of the Eastern Stars. It is not easy for the Western Stars to start another chasing battle.

In the first three quarters, Western Stars, Chris Paul, the Western Stars, had already won a quasi-triple double, 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists, only 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and he was about to win a triple double for the first time in the All-Star Game.

On the Eastern Conference Stars, Wu Feng is also the second triple-double in the All-Star Game that is about to score his second career triple-double.

At present, he has scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. With 2 rebounds and 1 assist, he can score a triple-double.

Many fans do not doubt that Wu Feng is capable of getting 1 rebound and 2 assists in the last quarter. They believe in Wu Feng, believe that Wu Feng can score a triple-double, and believe that Wu Feng will not lose to Chris Paul of the Western Conference Stars.

Not long after, the fourth quarter began.

However, in the first half of the fourth quarter, both sides sent substitutes.

The fourth quarter game lasted almost five minutes, and both sides began to gradually change into the lineup. When Wu Feng and other main players came on the court, the Eastern Stars still controlled the nearly double-digit lead.

Under Tony Parker's urgent defense, Wu Feng slowly led the ball through the half. In just a short period of time, Tony Parker tried several sneak attacks, but failed.

Tony Parker, who has just entered the league, still has some experience in stealing, and has a good grasp of the timing of stealing. For such a player, the timing must be very cautious. Once you take action easily, the opponent will give you a chance to get rid of him easily. And he knows clearly that once he loses his position, with Wu Feng's speed of dribbling, he will not be able to keep up with his pace. (To be continued...)
