As the banner of Philadelphia, a competitor at the same position, and an enemy in last year's finals, Iverson would never allow Kobe to perform so heartily in Philadelphia.

At the beginning of the second half, Iverson disrupted the Western Conference's offense twice in a row, stealing layups and assists.

Iverson's attitude infected his teammates.

Jordan was the first to make a statement and hit a long shot, sounding the clarion call for the Eastern Counterattack.

Vince Carter also grabbed the long ball from the West twice in a row and assisted Hill to make consecutive long shots.

The Eastern team went on a 20-8 run in the first half of the third quarter, narrowing the score gap to 5 points in one fell swoop.

But the West started to fight back in the second half.

Garnett's one-handed alley-oop dunk from Payton was the highlight of the Western Conference in this quarter.

At that time, Payton quickly advanced after completing the steal and threw the ball high when the Eastern team was under the basket. Garnett followed up from behind and pushed the ball in with one hand, causing cheers.

But the brightest moment in the third quarter belonged to Shentong.

Six minutes into the third quarter, STO replaced Jordan.

Shortly after coming on the court, faced with Kobe Bryant's defense, Shentong completed the shot with a behind-the-back jumper guided by Jordan.

With McGrady's back-up skills and Jordan's guidance, STO's scoring technique has become more mature.

Just as Jordan pointed out, Kobe, who was not shaken away by Shentong's fake move, used all his strength to block the shot.

Under this suffocating defense, Shentong followed Jordan's pre-game instructions, raised his shooting arm, raised his release point high, avoided Kobe's block, and shot the ball.

As a result, Kobe's finger touched Shentong's arm, and the referee called a foul. At the same time, Shentong scored the ball!

The double draw in the CCTV live broadcast room immediately turned into a double draw!

Sun Zhengping said excitedly: "This goal is beautiful! Shentong scored 2+1 against Kobe. This goal is quite difficult."

Zhang Weiping was also excited, and then said: "Kobe's defense is really tight on this ball, but Shentong's jump is really high. I really used the backward movement that I used against Jordan before the game. This ball is getting more and more interesting."

ah!"

When he saw STO hit the ball and was called for a foul by the referee, Kobe clapped his hands in annoyance, shook his head and looked at the big screen.

Jordan, who was sitting on the bench, stood up and applauded Shentong's goal. He kept moving his hands and said to the people around him: "I taught him this ball. I taught him. He did it."

It’s not bad, but there’s still room for improvement.”

This is not over yet. Near the end of the third quarter, the Eastern team completed the steal. Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, followed closely by Shentong. At this time, no player from the Western team returned to defend.

Seeing this, Iverson turned his head and passed the ball backwards to Shentong.

After Shentong caught the pass, he used the inertia of running to take off, grabbed the ball with one hand, rotated 360° in the air, and completed a one-handed dunk!

This dunk immediately brought the atmosphere of the audience to a climax!

The Eastern Conference bench was in chaos. Jordan and Hill were laughing and cuddling together, and Baron Davis, who liked to show off, rolled over from his seat to the floor in excitement.

Sun Zhengping said in surprise: "Holy shit, you can jump so high."

"Ahem." Zhang Weiping quickly told the other party to pay attention to the impact of the live broadcast.

Sun Zhengping immediately regained his composure and said: "Shentong just contributed a 360° flat basket dunk. The difficulty of this dunk is quite high. I am afraid it is no worse than the dunk of Jason Richardson, who won the dunk king this year."

Zhang Weiping said: "Look, he looks like Kobe Bryant back then."

Sun Zhengping asked: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Weiping said: "When Kobe participated in the All-Star Game in 1998, he also performed a one-handed dunk with a twist in the air."

Sun Zhengping said: "Director Zhang remembers Kobe Bryant very clearly. As a Chinese player, Shentong's physical fitness is indeed top-notch. This is his 11th point in this game, which has reached double digits."

...

Just as everyone was sighing at Shentong's wonderful dunk just now, Duncan, who was sitting on the bench, complained to the referee standing nearby.

Duncan said: "Referee, the bench on the other side is rolling around. Isn't this a big deal?"

The referee turned his head and replied coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do something?"

Duncan shifted his gaze, retracted his head, and regained his dull expression...

...

At the end of the third quarter, the Western team still led the Eastern team by 10 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pierce scored two consecutive shots, and Iverson also succeeded in two consecutive offenses. The Eastern Conference went on a 12-0 run, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, and was likely to repeat last year's comeback.

At the critical moment, "Glove" Payton stood up and hit a three-pointer, once again leading the score and stabilizing the position.

After that, the two teams started a three-point battle and hit 4 consecutive three-pointers in less than 1 minute.

But it is a pity that this year's three-point king Shentong did not join this long-range shooting battle. In fact, in the fourth quarter, Byron Scott did not even give Shentong 1 minute of playing time.

At the last moment, Nash and Peja each hit three-pointers, and the Western Conference opened the score.

Although the Eastern Conference tried its best to catch up, it could no longer recover from the defeat.

135-120, the Western team had the last laugh.

Kobe Bryant undisputedly won the MVP of this All-Star Game with his dazzling performance of 31 points.

Under Byron Scott, neither Shentong nor Kidd played much playing time.

Shentong played only 15 minutes in total and scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Kidd played 19 minutes and scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

It seems that Scott still hopes that his disciples can devote more energy to the next competition.

After all, after the All-Star Game, every team has to start working hard to compete for a ticket to the playoffs!

...

Although Shentong didn't play much time, his outstanding performance still made people's eyes shine, especially the wonderful turn dunk mentioned by Zhang Weiping, which was very similar to the ball scored by Kobe Bryant in the 1998 All-Star Game.

After the game, the fans talked about it.

However, some people still questioned STO's performance in this game, and that person turned out to be Charles Barkley, who has been criticized recently.

In addition, T also broadcast the All-Star Game live.

When summing up after the game, Barkley specifically commented on STO.

"I think everyone should not be too optimistic about him. Shentong still has one of the most important weaknesses, and I have discovered it! I have observed that he has not improved since he came to the NBA. If he does not make changes, it may be affected.

In his career, his celebration after scoring a goal was too ugly!"
