In the third quarter, the two sides continued to be undefended, and the fans were fully addicted to all kinds of flying and escaping.

But as the third quarter ended, fans knew the fun was over.

It's time to fight for victory!

The war is about to break out!

On the Eastern side, Janeway put away the smile on his face, and on the Western side, Coach Brooks picked up the tactical board.

The Thunder are very strong this year and have the best record in the Western Conference. Coach Brooks has naturally become the head coach of the Western Conference All-Stars.

During the break, Coach Brooks glanced at his two beloved disciples.

Durant was isolated by other players throughout the game and had a mediocre touch. Westbrook even got the ball and did it himself.

Coach Brooks knew that he could not persuade these two disciples. He had already experienced their stubbornness.

In the NBA, coaches don't have as much say as coaches in college. It's more of a star culture here!

But Coach Brooks still wanted to tell them severely:

Wake up!

All-stars really don’t matter!

The championship stage is truly the place worth your efforts!

Coach Brooks, who knew he couldn't influence them, compromised and even matched their teammates well.

I can only help you so far!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe, Curry and Zhou Si were all put on the bench. Although the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were very angry, Zhou Si didn't care.

He even had a good time, chatting and joking with Ye Qin behind him.

If the boss is not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?

The lineup at this time is:

East: Irving, Wade, James, Anthony and Bosh.

West: Westbrook, Harden, Durant, King Notre Dame and Howard.

In the West, Coach Brooks' intention is very clear. The Thunder have gathered the three young players for you. The veteran player will act as a turret on the outside to open up space, and Howard will grab rebounds.

As for how three people divide a ball, he has no control over it.

Over in the East, Coach Spoelstra has the same idea. The Heat's Big Three are paired with Irving, who is more accurate on the outside, and Anthony, who is an offensive kaleidoscope.

How to play depends entirely on James' command.

It is impossible for players who are just improvised together to play any particularly complicated tactics. They can only play simple pick-and-rolls or players who are teammates can cooperate in a small area.

Looking at the physical fight between a group of muscle brothers on the court, Ye Qin felt that it would be good for Zhou Si to chat with him without playing.

As for winning or losing?

Stoudemire is so handsome today.

"Xiao Si, the score seems to be a bit wide, right?"

Facing Ye Qin's question, Zhou Si patiently explained.

"It's four against six on the court. It's normal to lose this point."

As soon as he finished speaking, Westbrook rushed into the East's interior line like a pack of explosives, and was hit by a chasing block from James who was on defense.

There were bursts of boos from the scene. Westbrook played too brainlessly today, either rushing or shooting, with all kinds of assists and shots!

On the court, Durant was anxious when he saw the score of 123:111.

"Hey, Russell, I'm open, watch out for sudden points!"

Westbrook glanced at Durant without saying anything, and quickly returned to defense.

He is now only 5 points behind Kobe. As long as he scores more than Kobe and leads the team to win the game, he will basically be the MVP of the All-Star Game.

Although the All-Star Game MVP has no meaning and is just a decoration, some people still care about it.

On the sidelines, Barkley was also complaining about Coach Brooks' formation.

"We understand that Coach Brooks wants his disciple to win the MVP, but can he win the game first?"

"That's right."

Kenny Smith nodded and said,

"If we continue fighting like this, we will definitely lose!

Is it harming others but not benefiting oneself?"

Coach Brooks was also a little helpless. In fact, the lineup was supposed to be evenly matched 50-50, but Westbrook suddenly became disowned for some reason.

How can Harden and Durant score without the ball?

Six minutes into the game, coach Brooks had no choice but to withdraw Westbrook, Harden and the veteran coach amid the audience's cries of "We want Kobe, we want Weeks, and we want Curry!"

Westbrook looked angry, and it seemed to him that his touch was about to come.

The basket has been bent by him into a position where he can make a shot.

The old driver looked indifferent and unfazed.

Harden is the most depressed. He can hardly touch the ball on the court. How can he show off?

Seeing Kobe, Zhou Si and Curry back on the court, Coach Brooks felt a lot more comfortable.

I have made a substitution as you requested. If we still lose the game, you can no longer blame me!

But Coach Brooks is destined to be disappointed.

The strength of the Western team will be improved once the three players are replaced, but it is not that huge, but the effect is immediate.

Without Westbrook's sudden rush, the effect is completely different after switching to the main control.

Zhou Si is still not busy scoring, directing his teammates to move, and then passing the ball.

Curry, Kobe, Durant, it feels so good to cooperate with these three top scorers today.

As long as they get a little open, their shots will almost always hit.

Zhou Si’s assist was so impressive!

In addition, Howard, who has few rebounds, is not idle either, constantly covering and picking and rolling!

When the three major scorers don't have a good chance, a pick-and-roll with Zhou Si can complete the aerial work!

Bosh couldn't even guard Hibbert, so how could he guard Howard in the pick-and-roll?

Zhou Si passed the ball very well, and the other four players also scored happily.

Anyone who has been a teammate with him will understand Zhou Si's strong support ability!

"Haha, I just said that playing on Monday can change the situation!

Westbrook is too unique."

Barkley was blustering again on the sidelines.

"Westbrook still has a long way to go to become a top point guard."

Kenny Smith shook his head and said.

Even if you want to score, you have to pay attention to your methods.

For example, Rose just now successfully defeated Curry in singles on the court and helped the team maintain the lead.

It’s not that the point guard can’t attack, it’s that he can’t lose his cool!

"Ouch!

Kobe’s negative angle fadeaway jumper!”

Director Zhang couldn't help but raise his voice.

Just now, Kobe received a pass from Zhou Si and hit a negative-angle fadeaway jumper near the right baseline against the defending James!

"When it comes to shooting from a negative angle, Kobe is the only one in history.

Most players would basically give up on this kind of ball. After all, it’s unreasonable!

But this is how Kobe should shoot!

We'll take a look at the replay later, this kind of goal is a regular weapon for Kobe!"

Over in the East, James dribbled the ball over without any support and just played it by himself. After picking and rolling with Bosh, he rushed directly to the inside and "smashed Huashan" with one hand with a strong force!

With Kobe and James leading the fierce battle with a burst of points, the score reached 143:142 with two minutes left!

The most intense moment of the All-Star Battle has arrived!
Chapter completed!
