Lin Tian knew the results of the slam dunk contest in advance and was not surprised by it.

Other players at the scene were extremely shocked, and many star players expressed pity for this.

Many people even think that there are two dunk contest champions today.

Of course, the final result cannot be changed, Zach LaVine won the dunk contest championship trophy.

The slam dunk contest is over, and today's various events have come to an end.

After Lin Tian and Kobe returned to the hotel, they went to bed early that day.

Early the next morning, the players came to the arena after breakfast.

Today is the most critical game for the All-Stars, and it is also the game that attracts the most attention. It can be called a gathering of stars.

When the players came out one by one in the tunnel, the commentators had to mention a lot of the players' titles.

Among them, Kobe Bryant, who made his final appearance, received the most enthusiastic cheers, and countless reporters focused their cameras on him.

Tonight can be said to be Kobe's home court. He is like Jordan who participated in the All-Star Game in 2003.

After the players warmed up and got together, the All-Star Game began.

The Eastern Conference starters for this All-Star Game are: Kyle Lowry, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony.

The starting lineup for the Western Conference is: Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant, Lin Tian, ​​Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard.

Since the center spot was eliminated in the All-Star starting lineup, the starting players have been three frontcourt players.

From the beginning, the players on both sides basically threw three-pointers to each other.

Whoever gets the ball gets a single.

As for defense, it is basically useless.

All previous All-Star games were meant to be fun, and few players would take them seriously, at least in the first three quarters.

Once when Kobe was holding the ball, James took the initiative to guard Kobe alone.

Facing Kobe, James clapped his hands on the floor with an excited expression, signaling for Kobe to attack.

Kobe was naturally not afraid. After making a change of direction and shaking James a little, he ended the attack with a mid-range shot!

This perfectly curved mid-range shot hit! Most of the audience stood up and applauded.

Kobe's mid-range shot also became the most serious offensive and defensive confrontation between the two sides in the first quarter.

Lin Tian has no interest in shooting three-pointers. In his opinion, shooting three-pointers makes the game unsightly.

Therefore, once he gets the ball, his chosen offensive method is often to rush inside and dunk directly.

After the first half, the West led the East by 10 points, and Lin Tian scored 30 points by himself.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. Lin Tian was also very aggressive and chose to attack when he got the ball.

At this time, the defensive intensity has increased. Players from both sides no longer throw three-pointers randomly, but start to play every ball seriously.

James is basically organizing the Eastern Conference, while the ball rights in the Western Conference are in the hands of Lin Tian.

Lin Tian also experienced the feeling of being double-teamed by James and Paul George for the first time.

The two men defended seriously, and Lin Tian could hardly break into the inside.

He no longer forced a breakthrough, but began to move the ball.

Every time Lin Tian passes the ball to Curry, Curry raises his hand and shoots, with a very high three-point shooting rate.

Paul George seems to have had some help today and has already scored six three-pointers.

As for Kobe, his touch today was very average and he missed the first few shots.

The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and there was still suspense until the last few dozen seconds of the fourth quarter.

The score at this time was exactly 150:150, and the ball was in the West.

After Curry dribbled the ball past half court, Wade came over to meet him.

Facing some oppressive defense from Wade, Curry did not stick to the ball and was quickly passed to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian looked up at the timer, and when there were 8 seconds left in the attack time, he made a mid-range shot against Paul George.

The score was rewritten to 152:150! There are 30 seconds left on the clock.

The Eastern team quickly called a timeout.

Lin Tian and the others also returned to the bench, and their head coach is Cole.

Cole arranged the team lineup for the last thirty seconds, Lin Tian, ​​Kobe, Curry, Durant and Leonard.

This lineup is actually their starting lineup, which is extremely threatening both offensively and defensively.

When they returned to the court again, the Eastern team slightly adjusted their final lineup, mainly switching to a defensive lineup.

The Eastern Conference serves and the basketball is in James' hands.

There were only 30 seconds left, which meant that he couldn't play fast break at all. He could only waste time and try to delay the time until the last second.

All the spectators held their breath and waited quietly for the passage of time.

The rapper Drake on the sidelines had already stood up and shouted: "LeBron! Come on! Beat the West!"

When there were 7 seconds left in the attack time, James suddenly waved to Paul George.

Paul George understood instantly, and he quickly ran over to play a pick-and-roll for James.

The Western Conference had no choice but to switch defenses, with Lin Tian coming to defend James.

James held the ball with one hand, and his huge shoulder slammed into Lin Tian.

Because he was too fast and the weight difference was too big, Lin Tian's body was pushed inside.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress his lower body, barely able to make James feel uncomfortable!

But James' body flexibility exceeded Lin Tian's imagination.

When he rushed to the penalty area, he suddenly stopped his hand and threw a fadeaway jumper that was not very handsome.

Lin Tian reacted, and he jumped with all his strength to block the ball!

Everyone was amazed by Lin Tian's bounce! Everyone stared at this magical scene with wide eyes.

The basketball almost missed Lin Tian's fingertips and flew towards the basket. Finally, under everyone's gaze, it circled the basket and fell into the net.

The DJ at the scene shouted excitedly: "It's a tie! 152 draws! James made a fatal fadeaway shot! The West still has 7 seconds to attack!"

When the players were preparing to serve, Cole quickly used up the last timeout.

He held the tactical board and began to lay out the tactics for the final attack with a frown on his face.

All the audience at the scene also stood up at this time, and their faces could not hide their excitement:

"Haha! It's been a long time since I've seen such an exciting All-Star Game!"

"The last All-Star game was so intense, it seems like Iverson hasn't retired yet."

"If the Western Conference fails to make the final shot, there will be overtime! That would be even better!"

"If the Western Conference wins, the MVP should be Lin! If the Eastern Conference wins, the MVP will be Paul George!"

The timeout ended quickly and the players returned to the field.

The good news for the West is that the ball can be served next to the center circle, saving them time in the half.
Chapter completed!
