"Three-pointers, large three-pointers, large-size backward three-pointers, this is the first three-pointer shot by a player with a height of 26 meters [-] in the All-Star Game, look at how smooth his movements are, if If the height is a little smaller, I will think he is a swingman." The passionate commentary at the scene showed that the three-pointer came from the outside Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's whole process from receiving the ball to shooting was very smooth .

Although his take-off height is less than [-] centimeters, with Yao Ming's height, his release point is still very high. It's even weirder.

"Dirk Nowitzki must be very surprised on the sidelines. When did Yao Ming learn his special skills?" The camera turned to the bench where Dirk Nowitzki was. Surprised expression, but the people next to him basically have such an expression.

It is strange enough for Stephen to play back singles as soon as he comes up. Although he often uses this offensive method in the game, it is facing outside players, but now he is facing the No. [-] center in the East, Dwight Howard. Howard can Entering the All-Star starter for the first time depends on his excellent performance.

Moreover, the offensive method of post-up singles is too simple and unpretentious, and it is less entertaining than the wipeout shot. It is a bit unexpected to be used on a stage like the All-Stars, but I don't know that Stephen is playing with this idea.

And Yao Ming, although his three-pointer was his regular weapon when he was in China, but after coming to the Rockets, he basically didn’t shoot three-pointers, and he didn’t shoot once throughout the season. , and the sharpness of the shot was even more unexpected.

But the All-Star game is like this, everyone is entertaining the fans how to come, so no one thinks how weird the behavior of Stephen and Yao Ming is, the game continues, the Eastern All-Star team serves and starts to attack, seeing Stephen continue to follow Dwight Howard and Yao Ming also followed Devin Wade. Only then did the others see that the goal just now was not a separate performance, and the two of them were planning to reverse their roles to the end.

Seeing this, Jason Kidd passed the ball to Wade with a long shot. Wade, nicknamed "The Flash", started his first step so quickly that few people in the league could match it. Yao Ming came to defend him, so he was not allowed to In and out, like no defense.

But in the All-Star Game, no one really tried to defend hard. Yao Ming just raised his arms, made a gesture, and let Wade pass by him. The players also came out of the basket to help defend, just blocking Wade's way.

But Stephen didn't really come, he just pretended that he was a qualified inside player, Wade easily broke through his defense, and then scored with a backhand, adding two points for the Eastern All-Star team.

The All-Star is like this, allowing players to show themselves to their heart's content. Of course, it is very possible to be blocked or steals. You can't completely ignore defense and just attack. After Carmelo Anthony missed a shot, Stephen and Dwight Howard They all jumped up to grab the rebound. In the end, it was Stephen who poked the ball first with his sensitive reflexes. After lighting the ball up again, he jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

Not to mention, it is really not easy to grab rebounds with this guy. Howard has an advantage in height, and at the same time, Howard is not bad in jumping. The strengthened Stephen is only a little bit better than him, but It was offset by the opponent's height and wingspan advantages.

But what about this guy's bottom line? It's not too stable, or he can be pushed aside with Stephen's strength. When it comes to rebounding, bounce and height are only second, and the position and sense of rebounding are the most important. Most importantly, many floor players can grab a lot of rebounds as an example.

After grabbing the rebound, Stephen just leaned on Dwight Howard and hit the basket. Although Stephen is very powerful, he is not an inside player after all, and his body is not that wide. It was very hard to squeeze to the basket. Stephen didn't want to waste time and this is not the place to waste time, just a small hook shot at the basket.

Stephen missed the hook, but made up the ball with a second tip-up. Anyway, it was his first score in the All-Star Game, so he couldn't return empty-handed no matter what.

Regardless of whether the action is standard or not, Stephen is completely following the style of play of the inside players. Dwight Howard is very depressed. It's not that easy to deal with, but in an environment like the All-Stars, Yao Ming's characteristics are not easy to play out. I still have hope, but it's not so easy to deal with this guy.

In the All-Star Game, no one is too sticky to the ball. Basically, everyone is playing as they like. Whoever wants to play can play as he wants. Wade even wants to shoot in front of Yao Ming. He was blocked by Yao Ming as soon as he raised his hand, which made him very depressed.

Turning around, Yao Ming shot another three-pointer in front of him. He also wanted to pay Yao Ming a shot, but found that no matter how high he jumped, he couldn’t get Yao Ming’s shot. After that, he gave up this plan. Wade often Chasing and blocking the shot, but facing Yao Ming face to face, he felt how huge the difference in height between the two was.

However, Yao Ming missed a three-pointer this time. Fortunately, Stephen grabbed the rebound again and passed it to Yao Ming. Yao Ming then made another three-pointer. The ball passed through the frame and retreated At that time, the two walked side by side with high fives, but Duncan passed between the two of them as if he hadn't seen them, and separated the two of them.

Kidd used a pass behind his head and passed the ball to Chris Bosh. Bosh was about to shoot, but was blocked by Stephen with a big block, but Stephen also knew not to go too far. After Bosh grabbed the rebound, he shot again, but he didn't go up to interfere, allowing Bosh to score easily.

Iverson played an alley-oop match with Carmelo Anthony. The only surprise is that Carmelo Anthony passed the ball and Iverson dunked. This is also a rare Iverson in the All-Star Game Just like Yao Ming and Stephen, the two of them had a back-and-forth dunk.

Duncan looked at his teammates. There were five players on the court, and they all formed a pair. Only he was alone and had no one to play with him, so he had to play alone. Stephen jumped up impromptu to play an alley-oop dunk, allowing him to pick up an assist by mistake.

After Yao Ming made two of four three-pointers, he was replaced by Carlesimo. This was also discussed by the two in advance. Yao Ming did not want to play for too long. He returned to his position.

Generally, the head coach of an All-Star team has only one right to make substitutions. Some people want to play more, while others want to play less. Stephen didn't ask Carlesimo too much, but Carlesimo knew that Stephen After he had no problem with his physical strength, he was the last to replace Stephen. At this time, the first quarter of the game was about to end.

The scores of the two sides have been rising alternately, but as the game gradually attacked, the Eastern team took the lead more and more times. Slowly, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and the Eastern team finally expanded the point difference to five points. Above, seeing this, Stephen can’t understand what it means. Compared with the Western team, the Eastern team wants this All-Star Game MVP.

Stephen clearly remembered that when the All-Star Game was held in Houston last year, because McGrady was the place and a relative of his had just passed away, in order to comfort him, the Western All-Star Team wanted to help him win the All-Star Game The most valuable player, even Kobe Bryant frequently passed the ball to McGrady, but was snatched by a group of Pistons led by LeBron James.

It was like this at that time. The Eastern team started to exert their strength early. Normally, they started to fight in the fourth quarter. As a result, they started in the third quarter, and by the time the Western team wanted to exert their strength, it was already too late. , In the end this most valuable player was won by LeBron James.

As a result, this kind of unjust behavior of the Eastern team annoyed Kobe. In the All-Star Game in Las Vegas last year, Kobe scored 31 points, five rebounds, six assists and six steals in a fit of anger, beating the LeBron James, with 28 points, six assists and six rebounds, snatched the MVP from the East.

Now seeing that the Eastern team wanted to repeat the old plan and did it before the end of the first half, Stephen immediately reminded Carlesimo, and Carlesimo immediately replaced Steve Nash with Stephen. Boozer replaced Duncan, and Chris Paul replaced Carmelo Anthony.

The reason why Boozer is used instead of Duncan is because Duncan has lost the desire to express himself in the All-Star Game, and he still wants to take this opportunity to take a good rest. Since Boozer is selected for the All-Star for the first time, Much better than Duncan in terms of positivity.

Although Steve Nash has excellent assists, his personal offensive ability is not too strong, especially in the environment of the All-Stars, few people cooperate and they all attack with the ball by themselves, while Carmelo Anthony is He has played a lot of time, and his touch today is not very good.

The lineup of the Western team has changed to Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, Stephen, Brandon Roy and Chris Paul. This lineup is young and flexible, with outstanding offensive capabilities. Stephen As soon as he came on the field, he received a back pass from Chris Paul after a breakthrough, and made a shot from outside the three-point line. This was also Stephen's first three-pointer in the game.
