After seeing Davis score, Tang Shuai turned around and slapped him, then retreated to defend.

After observing the game for a while, he could understand the situation of the game.

To put it bluntly, it is a show. In the past, the league's status roughly determined the players' right to take action on this field, such as Jordan, James, Kobe, Iverson, etc. However, in recent years, because there are fewer and fewer superstars fighting alone, everyone is All-Star, and the core of each team is no better than anyone else. So if you want to perform well, the most basic thing you need to do is to be thick-skinned.

The result of this is that they fight on their own and rush to take action. The Eastern Army fought together because they were in tune with each other and wanted to help James "do" an MVP, but the Western Army still fought on their own, and there were even many internal conflicts, which is the fundamental reason for the score on the field.

So the first thing he did after he came on the court was to gather together the Western Army's loose sand as much as possible, and then improve his favorability.

The Eastern Army is still ahead of the score, but the Western Army is very concise under the review of Tang Shuai. Although it is impossible to continue to cooperate like when he was on the team, some opportunities come out and the ball can basically be passed, and the score difference is narrowed bit by bit.

In the attack of the Western Army, Tang Shuai passed the fast attack to Davis in the lower downward attack. Horford defended the position without giving a chance. Davis turned around and saw that Tang Shuai had a chance.

It was a very similar round to the first quarter, but this time Davis did not choose to be strong, but instead hit the earth and returned to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai got an open three-pointer opportunity and then took action.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai hit his first three-pointer in this game, and it was also the first point he scored in this game.

"Tang finally scored, I thought he was going to be completely invisible in this game." Miller said in the commentary seat with emotion.

"Anthony (referring to Davis) made a good goal, and Western players played very well during this period." Kenny Smith nodded in agreement.

The person who defended Tang Shuai was Irving. When he saw Tang Shuai score, he smiled and didn't seem to care much. He turned around and went back to the bottom line to receive the serve.

The Eastern Army's offense still created opportunities for James. Irving's cross pass was quite beautiful, and James scored another 2 points in a jump shot with an open position.

Looking back, Shuai Tang called Towns out to pick-and-roll, attracting a long throw to Westbrook after defending. Westbrook made a move, but Davis grabbed the rebound and Davis turned around and threw it to Shuai Tang.

Shuai Tang faces Irving again.

"Attack one!" At this moment, Westbrook stood outside the three-point line and shouted, and also called his teammates away.

This was very unexpected, but it was reasonable. Tang Shuai was fighting too selflessly. He only took action once until now. As the saying goes, he has short hands, and this reaction is completely normal.

The others left consciously at this time and cooperated quite well.

When Tang Shuai saw this, he didn't hesitate. He swayed in one cross step, then took a big step in, one accelerated, and the other slowed down. After using the rhythm changes to make Irving lose his defensive position, he jumped up and pulled out his hand.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, a picturesque posture, two points were firmly achieved.

Although it is an All-Star Game, the stars need to save face on the court.

Irving was a little embarrassed when he didn't keep up with the rhythm, but he quickly signaled that his teammate was his fault. Judging from his eyes, he seemed to be ready to start to take serious defense.

During the attack of the Eastern Army, Wade suddenly gave Irving. Irving played a fancy dribble, and then suddenly started. He pushed the ball through the middle of Towns and Davis and passed through James's hand. James took the ball and directly scored.

After passing the ball, Irving blew in front of his mouth with his hand, which caused a stir on the scene.

After this beautiful pass, he regained a lot of face.

During the attack of the Western Army, Mr. Tang suddenly distributed it to Westbrook.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked around, Westbrook returned the ball to him.

Westbrook played with the ball many times before, and he took the ball to attract the defense of the Eastern Army. This pass created a good opportunity. Tang Shuai took the ball and hit Irving directly, and turned around and leaned back.

Irving reached out to interfere, but he didn't have much advantage when he jumped back.

"Swish!"

Tang Shuai's back hit steadily.

"A beautiful backward, Don scored again under Carey's defense. Is this a sign of turning on the scoring mode?" Barkley said excitedly in the commentary seat.

Irving's face became a little unfavorable. Although defense was not his strength, Tang Shuai scored two goals in front of him, and when he just signaled his teammates to defend seriously, he was somewhat unable to bear the face.

When it came to the offensive end, he reached out to signal his teammates to pull it away, and then directly attacked Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai's presidential defense package was not effective against this breakthrough opponent, and Irving quickly passed by him and scored a layup.

After Irving scored the goal, he went to see Tang Shuai. He wanted to pass something with his eyes, but found that Tang Shuai was already chatting with Tangs. He couldn't help but frowned, and he made sure to pay attention that the next ball must be prevented.

The Western Army made personnel adjustments at this time, and Thibodeau replaced Davis, Westbrook and Leonard with Griffin, Paul and Durant.

Seeing Paul and Griffin appear on the court, Tang Shuai looked at them, and these three former teammates met again on the All-Star field.

Durant sent the ball to Paul. Paul pushed it to the frontcourt and made a tactical gesture to Griffin and Tang Shuai. The two of them understood it and ran.

Tang Shuai cut into the basket, and Irving behind him chased him reluctantly.

When he was about to reach the basket, he flicked his finger and suddenly turned back. Irving wanted to catch up, but immediately hit a wall of people, and Griffin blocked him tightly.

Paul's pass followed, and Tang Shuai made a steadily jump shot after receiving the ball.

Although the cooperation between the three people has been around for half a year, they still have a tacit understanding.

After Tang Shuai scored, he clenched with Paul. After the two of them clenched, they smiled tacitly.

Irving was so angry that his teeth were itchy. When it was on the offensive end, he didn't bother to help James. He directly reached out to signal his teammates to pull it away, and then singled out for Shuai Tang again.

Tang Shuai tried his best to defend, but the effect was indeed average. Irving quickly passed him and made a light layup.

But just as he took action, Towns suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked it with his move.

Irving's reaction was also fast, and he forced himself to move in the air, and a pull rod avoided Towns' block.

But Towns is not a vegetarian either. Seeing that the cover was not enough, he directly pressed his body against Irving.

Irving couldn't find a suitable shooting angle, so he could only throw it up. After hitting the rebound, the basketball flew over the basket and was grabbed into his arms by Griffin on the other side.

Originally, on the All-Star stage, this kind of ball could be played, but Tang Shuai talked to Tangs in front of him not to talk nonsense, but to ask him to find opportunities to show himself. Towns, who has been a spectator for more than a quarter, does need to show his presence. For a center, there is nothing more impressive than defense.

After Griffin took the ball, he shook his hand to Paul. Paul carried the ball forward again. When he arrived at the frontcourt, a beautiful crotch passed the ball backwards and passed it to Tang Shuai who was following him.

Tang Shuai didn't hesitate for a second, and raised his hand and made another three-pointer.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, the fans at the scene were cheering.

Tang Shuai didn't score a single point in the previous shot, but after returning to the court in the second quarter, he had already made 5 of 5 shots and scored 12 points in just a few minutes, only less than Westbrook and Durant.

Thanks to his intensive scoring in this period, the Western Army has already chased the score to 68 to 71.

The head coach of the Eastern Army, namely the Pacers coach McMillan, saw that the momentum was wrong, reached out and called a timeout.

Like Thibodeau opposite, he brought the Pacers to McMillan, second in the East this season, and is also a mature and cautious coach.

McMillan still wanted to win this game. After the timeout came back, he replaced Jimmy Butler on the court, judging by the posture, he wanted to block the hole of Tang Shuai's gun.

Tang Shuai did not get much chance in the remaining games in the second quarter.

At the end of the half, his score was also frozen at 12 points, ranking behind Durant's 18 points and Westbrook's 17 points.

However, in the MVP predictions that were drawn off the court, they were not them who had the lowest odds, but James, who scored 20 points in the first half, had an odds of 1 to 1.2. With the Eastern Conference holding an 8-point lead in the first half, the predictions of these websites also seemed optimistic.

During the intermission, Tang Shuai and the others returned to the locker room.

Behind the half, the atmosphere in the locker room did not change much. Green was still adjusting the atmosphere, and Westbrook was still sitting alone in the corner.

Tang Shuai thought of the players' performance on the court in the first half, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He got up and left the locker room, asked where Duffy was, and then put on the training suit and went to find him.

The All-Star Game is not as strict as the regular season control. Tang Shuai quickly arrived at Duffy. Although the fans were inevitably "entangled" in the process, after satisfying them one by one, he still got to the side very smoothly.

"Tang, I just bought your MVP on the Sports Lottery website and bought 500,000 yuan. It depends on your performance." Tang Shuai just sat down and before he could speak, Duffy leaned over his head and said.

"..." Tang Shuai blanched at Duffy and asked curiously, "What's my odds?"

"Do you mean it's now or the opening? Or the lowest time?" Duffy said mysteriously.

After hearing what Duffy said, Tang Shuai shook his head with a wry smile.

"It was pretty good at the beginning, 1-2, but after the first quarter, it had dropped to 1-6." Duffy said with a smile.

"You bought it at that time?" Tang Shuai asked.
