When there is no huge difference in strength, and when there are sufficiently talented point guards, the gap can be easily made up.

If you want to find an Eastern team that compares with Lakeland, the top three Western teams, you really can't find one.

But after collecting the twelve strongest players from the Eastern Conference and comparing them with the Western Conference, although there is still a gap even if the opponent has even one O'Neal, it is not that big.

At this time, there were tactics discussed by two shady people in the Eastern Conference, Kidd and Liu Mang. In addition, Kidd may have the strongest ability to command his teammates on the court among all point guards in the league, and he is also the most effective point guard.

The kind that requires too much ball-handling, with old Jordan, Raheem, Iverson, and Mutombo, they played an offense that was not lost to the Western Conference from the beginning.

It is true that the defense of this lineup in the Western Conference is extremely strong. Even with the defensive black hole of Francis, and the three defensive teams of Kobe, Garnett, and Duncan, it is estimated that the defensive capabilities of the Pistons, Heat, and Spurs are not as strong as this lineup.

The attitude of the three people is also the same, and the fit is very high. Kobe is the outside gate, Duncan is the inside gate, and Garnett is invincible in defense and assistance. They are a perfect defensive trio.

But when the opponents are all All-Star players, the defensive effect will not be too obvious. It is impossible to completely defend the top stars. The so-called gate only locks the opponent's relatively ordinary players and can deal with them with all their strength.

He's just the opponent's top star.

Sometimes the high scoring during the All-Star Weekend is really not because of poor defense. Before the start of brother basketball and team basketball, the All-Star teams in most years competed, but the score was still very good, entirely because they could not defend at all!

The West relied on talent, but the East's lineup couldn't be defended. The East started a triangle offense, and the West couldn't defend it either.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 17-20, with the Eastern Conference trailing the Western Conference by 3 points.

It's time for the first official pause.

Jordan, who started off as the main attacker, was exhausted. He and Raheem scored 13 points together at the beginning. Except for Iverson who scored two points on an air cut and Mutombo who scored two points on a tip-in, the rest were all played by Jordan and Raheem.

Tom scored, especially Jordan, who scored 8 points and became the highest scoring player in the game.

It's finally time to show off. As an All-Star coach, the only chance to show off is probably to make substitutions...

Just as Coach Kruger walked to the gathered Eastern team members with the tactical board, Liu Mang gave way. Coach Kruger had just praised Liu Mang in his heart for being so sensible, and then he saw Liu Mang.

Mang took the tactical board over...

I took the tactical board over...

The tactical board is gone, and Coach Kruger is so confused...

"Okay, let me go on stage next. Jason and Jason, why do you have the same name? No matter how many there are, you all come on together. Ray, Tracy, you two come on too... Let's do this..."

Coach Kruger is so angry! Seeing Liu Mang arranging the game like that, and still talking about how to play, with such an outrageous lineup and style of play, I am really angry! But this... seems to be something he is used to!

"Hmph! Will those big-name players listen to you, a rookie?" Coach Kruger was so angry that he didn't care about Liu Mang. It was time to see how this kid had made a fool of himself.

However……

"Cool! Ace, why didn't we fight like this from the beginning? That's so cool!" McGrady said excitedly.

Even Ray Allen is very moved. Which pitcher doesn't have a heart like a wave?

Kidd, another sinister person who discussed tactics with Liu Mang, would certainly not have any objections. It was very fun, and Jason Terry was even used to it.

"Tracy, our tactic can only last two or three minutes at most, just to scare them. Then we have to change to the normal lineup."

"Haha, of course I know, but it's really fun to fight like this!"

"..."

"..."

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang acting like a coach among players, telling his teammates this and that with Kidd, and the teammates all listened carefully and expressed their agreement. It felt so unrealistic!

So unscientific!

Inexplicably, I am a little relieved. After all, this may be the best player from the university I coach, and may even be better than the top-end and talented Marbury, who seems to be much better in other aspects!

…

…

After the timeout, when the Eastern team's lineup came on the field, the scene suddenly became quiet.

What the hell is this horse riding?

When watching the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Ray Allen, Kidd, and Tracy McGrady appear on the court, everyone was no longer surprised, but horrified!

The tallest one is McGrady at 2.03 meters? The average height is more than 1.9 meters? Is this basketball in the 1940s?

Payton, Kobe, Finley, Garnett, and Duncan, who just came on the court for the Western Conference, were all shocked.

In the West, Adelman is different from Popovich and Jackson. Popovich is willing to let Duncan perform more and win the All-Star MVP. Duncan is too boring. Even Popovich wants it.

If he is more lively, Master Jackson is also willing to let O'Neal play more and win the MVP. Just like Coach Kruger, the three little boys of his own usually don't have much chance to appear in front of fans across the United States or even the world. They want to play more games like this.

He didn't try to stop them when they hit him, he just let them play. Winning or losing didn't matter to him anyway.

But Adelman would never allow Peja and Webber to consume too much physical energy in this kind of game. Peja came on the field to replace Webber when the ball was dead in the third minute, and then showed his face and was replaced after the official timeout.

Moreover, Adelman's idea is very simple, quite simple. Since the stars of these rival teams want to compete with the Eastern Conference, let them fight until they get tired!

So Kobe, Garnett, and Payton, who were hostile to Liu Mang, brought together Duncan, who was rarely taken seriously and excited, and Finley, who had a good relationship, to use defense to limit the Eastern Conference, and Adelman couldn't even test it.

Agree immediately with consideration.

But after taking the field, the two teams looked like the average height difference between the two teams separated by 60 years...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The referee looked at the technical table in confusion. The technical table said that the players on the field were correct, these were the ones on the field. The referees looked confused and blew the whistle to continue the game.

.

The Eastern team has the ball, and Liu Mang comes on to catch the ball and advance.

The rookie has really made a name for himself in Philadelphia, and the 76ers don't seem to be able to do much in the playoffs this year. After playing more than 50 games, Philadelphia fans have clearly understood the reality. Of course, "76ers championship"

"This slogan still needs to be shouted. Didn't a certain fan of the Los Angeles team, who did not want to be named, also be happy to win and celebrate by saying "I am the championship".

But there is no hatred towards stars from other teams, especially emerging stars, and the level of tolerance is very high. Philadelphia is originally a very tolerant city.

Moreover, I seem to have heard that this rookie has a bad relationship with the No. 8 player who always stays until the last one to leave in training because he doesn't want others to be better than him.

When Liu Mang received the ball and pushed forward, bursts of cheers erupted from the scene!

Kobe was so angry. This is his hometown! He scored a dunk in the first half of the quarter and was booed like a dog. That damn rookie actually got cheers when he came on the court. It was such a weird lineup!

Kobe rushed to the midline to block Liu Mang, and Liu Mang immediately passed the ball to Kidd at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Anyone who defends, no matter who he is, no matter how good the defense is, will have one characteristic, that is, after the person he is defending passes the ball, he will subconsciously look to see who is receiving the ball.

This is a natural human reaction. Liu Mang took advantage of the moment when Kobe's eyes shifted to follow the ball, and rushed past Kobe.

Not to mention, Liu Mang's straight-line sprint without interference, very few people in the NBA can catch up!

At this time, the Eastern team's four perimeters set up symmetrical positions. Terry and Ray Allen were in the two corners, and Kidd and Tracy McGrady, two passing masters, were supporting each other at two 45-degree angles, all outside the three-point line.

, the other four members of the Western Team had to be pulled out. Even Kidd, who shot 30% from three-point range, not everyone took several steps back like the Hawks, leaving the basket empty!

Liu Mang rushed into the paint from the three-point line without any hindrance, and Kidd immediately scored the ball into the paint.

Payton, who was guarding Kidd, immediately returned to the basket after Liu Mang rushed in. Kobe and Payton followed up and flanked Liu Mang.

At the same time, Ray Allen ran from the right corner to a 45-degree angle. Kidd also moved to block Finley. As soon as Ray Allen reached the open space at the 45-degree angle, Liu Mang immediately separated the ball.

All of this actually happened in just two seconds. Liu Mang cut in, Payton shrank, Kidd dropped the ball and then went for the pick-and-roll, and Ray Allen ran into the open space. They were all synchronized and quite smooth.

Ray Allen felt great receiving the ball, his rhythm was perfect, and he hit a three-pointer!

20 square meters!

Liu Mang came out excitedly and high-fived Ray Allen.

When discussing tactics before, Liu Mang himself thought it was a bit whimsical, but Kidd thought it was feasible because he was more experienced than Liu Mang.

Kidd's experience is not to underestimate his All-Star teammates, they are the strongest players of every team! Their tactical execution and finishing ability are not comparable to those of ordinary teammates.

When you have these teammates who are all All-Stars, there are only things you can't think of about tactics and nothing you can't accomplish. I'm afraid there won't be a coach who can use them!

As for the Eastern Team, Liu Mang's whims and Kidd's perfect command just happen to be able to think and use them!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Western team attacks.

Fans can expect the Eastern team's offense just now. After all, five players have three-pointers. Among them, Liu Mang and Ray Allen are three-point kings. They are only three players in the league who can average more than three three-pointers per game.

These are the two players who scored points.

What fans want to see is how this lineup defends?

Really looking forward to it!

The Eastern team created something eye-catching from the very beginning today. It started with a triangle offense and now has a weird five-small lineup.

Fans are looking forward to it!

Then……
Chapter completed!
