Legendary star

Chapter 339 A Different Result
Perhaps it was the explosion of the Eastern All-Star collective small universe, or maybe it was deliberately released to prevent the point difference between the two teams from being too large. When the third quarter ended, 83 to 91, the point difference between the two teams had been reduced to 8. point.The Eastern Conference All-Stars recovered a 13-point gap in the third quarter, which was basically the same as last year's All-Star Game. After halftime, it seemed that there was no suspense in the game, and now there are some waves.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Nelson Sr. sent an all-substitute lineup. On the Eastern All-Star side, in order to continue chasing points, Byron Scott still left Meng Xu and Jordan on the field and sent a center forward. Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Abdullah Raheem, small forward McGrady, shooting guard Jordan, point guard Meng Xu, this lineup looks much more normal than the starting lineup.

The first offense of the All-Stars in the Western Conference was dominated by the Mavericks' twin stars throughout the whole process. Nowitzki sent the baseline ball. Under the cover of Stojakovic, point guard Nash got rid of Meng Xu's press and passed In the pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot from below the free throw line, and the point difference between the two teams reached 10 points again.

"Dirk and Steve's pick-and-roll is very good. I see the shadow of Carl and John in them." When it comes to pick-and-roll, no team in this league is more skilled than the Jazz. As a symbol of the Jazz, as long as you mention the pick-and-roll, you will think of the Jazz, Malone and Stockton, but as you get older, the efficiency of the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two is getting lower and lower, and even the Jazz's record. landslide.As for the Mavericks, after the disastrous defeat in the playoffs last season, the old Nelson, who had learned from the painful experience, did not know where he got the inspiration from. Pick-and-roll tactics, not only that, the old Nelson also completely marginalized the boss of the Mavericks, Finley. Now all the tactics of the Mavericks revolve around Nowitzki and Nash, and this seems to be nothing. The technical pick-and-roll tactics allowed the Mavericks to complete the sublimation, from a second-rate team to a powerful Western Conference, putting the Spurs and Lakers behind.

After Nowitzki and Nash completed a beautiful pick-and-roll, Meng Xu, who advanced to the top of the arc with the ball, also called Jermaine O'Neal's pick-and-roll. Although facing the opposing Nash, Meng Xu had no less than ten methods Go to force him, but Meng Xu didn't push Nash simply and rudely. After all, this is the All-Star game, everyone is civilized, and you hit me with a pick-and-roll, I can't justify not paying you a pick-and-roll, no.

The moment Jermaine O'Neal stood at the top of the arc, Meng Xu started to move laterally with the ball to the right. Nash was unsurprisingly blocked by Jermaine O'Neal, and Nowitzki hadn't defended yet. , Meng Xu, who was open, did not hesitate at all, and directly made a three-pointer. This three-pointer was also Meng Xu's first three-pointer in this game.

Seeing the first offense of the two sides in the fourth quarter, they were all playing pick-and-roll tactics. Malone on the sidelines is also mixed now. Looking at Nash and Nowitzki, Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal, Malone I actually remembered myself when I was young. At that time, I and Stockton were both young and energetic like them. The two young people swore together that they must bring a championship trophy to Salt Lake City, but now I He and Stockton are both old, and the championship dream of himself and Stockton is still far away. Unknowingly, a tear slipped down Malone's face.

After Meng Xu hit a three-pointer, Nash, who returned to the offensive end, wanted to repeat the same tricks and continue to tear through the defense of the Eastern All-Stars through the pick-and-roll cooperation with Nowitzki.After the pick-and-roll was successfully completed, because Jermaine O'Neal's supplementary defense was just right, and Jordan, who was defending Payton at the same time, also began to move towards this side, Nash immediately handed the basketball to Nowitzki, wanting to let Nowitzki The misplaced singles hit Meng Xu, but what surprised Nash was that in the collision, Nowitzki was squeezed by Meng Xu and staggered. It might have been a perfectly coordinated pass, but it turned into a mistake. .Although Nowitzki is thin and thin, he is a power forward and a super insider after all. He actually failed when he competed with an outside player!

"A very beautiful alley-oop! Meng Xu assisted McGrady to complete the dunk. The point difference between the two teams is only 5 points." After Nash made a pass error, Jordan picked up the basketball with quick eyes and hands, and ran toward the frontcourt with the ball for two minutes. In the first step, Meng Xu and McGrady gave up their respective defensive targets, and launched a fast break with a tacit understanding.

"Forget it, let's wait." After the Eastern All-Stars scored 5 points in a row, Old Nelson hesitated for a long time before giving up the plan to call a timeout.After seeing Byron Scott arrange Meng Xu to play the point guard in the fourth quarter, the old Nelson sweated for his disciple Nash. Nash's organizational talent is impeccable, but Nash's flaws It is also very obvious, and it is very fatal, that is, his defense is too bad. Nash's defensive attitude is no problem, but his physical talent is too poor, and his defensive awareness is not good, which also leads to most point guards in the league. Nash couldn't even guard against him, let alone Meng Xu.

"Beautiful three-pointer, Meng's score has broken through 20 points." Just like the old Nelson worried, as the game progressed, Nash's shortcomings were gradually magnified, and the Eastern All-Stars also seemed to have seized the breakthrough. , began to attack Nash unscrupulously, and not just Meng Xu, as long as Nash rotates to defend any Eastern player, then this player will become the main attack point.

"Hey, Steve still needs to work harder." Seeing that the point difference had narrowed to two points, Old Nelson had no choice but to call a timeout, replacing Brand with Duncan and Szczerbiak. And Nash, let Payton take over the ball. After being replaced early, Nash's first All-Star tour was basically over.

"I really didn't expect this game to be played like this." After Nelson replaced Duncan, Byron Scott also made adjustments, replacing Meng Xu with Kidd, and Jordan with Ray Allen. It also entered a tug-of-war, and the point difference was always maintained within two points. At the end of the first half, the Eastern All-Stars, who were behind by 21 points, unexpectedly caught up with the score in the fourth quarter.
