Chapter 200 Famous Scene: Showing Janeway, the last moment of the game!
The first three quarters are entertainment. In the fourth quarter, if the score difference is still tight, then it will be a real fight. This is an unwritten rule of the All-Star Game.
The two head coaches of the Eastern and Western All-Stars also know this very well.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, Western Conference All-Star head coach D'Antoni sent on the Suns' trident Chen Yan and Nash Stoudemire.
D'Antoni wanted to take advantage of the Trident's tacit understanding to win the game.
On the other side, Eastern Conference All-Star head coach Flip Saunders is not a vegetarian. He sent the Pistons trio Billups, Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace onto the court with a backhand, as if no one had a three-piece suit.
.
Western Conference All-Star starters: Nash, Chen Yan, Anthony, Stoudemire, Duncan.
Seeing the starting lineups of both sides in the fourth quarter, many fans joked: What kind of All-Star game is there?
Just let the Suns and Pistons come over and have a fight!
But all joking aside, the fans are still looking forward to the fourth quarter. Everyone has seen enough performances in the first three quarters and is a little tired of the aesthetics. It's time for some real confrontation!
Just as everyone expected, both sides increased the intensity of the competition as soon as they started.
The Pistons trio directly treated the All-Star Game as a playoff game. On the offensive end, they resolutely stayed in position and played tactics. On the defensive end, they directly adopted the Pistons' defensive system. Coupled with Howard protecting the rim, the entire Western Conference was once dominated by the Pistons.
The Stars' offense was very difficult, and the Eastern All-Stars started an 8-2 spurt at the beginning of the final quarter.
Fortunately, the Western Conference All-Stars made timely adjustments and responded with a 10-0 shock wave under Nash's guidance!
In the next few minutes, the two sides alternated the lead, and the game continued to be tense.
In the last 3 minutes of the final quarter, the score between the two sides reached 121, and the All-Star Game entered a fierce stage!
At this time, the defensive intensity of both sides has reached the playoff level!
At this time, D'Antoni called a timeout and rearranged his tactics.
The Western Conference All-Star players immediately surrounded D'Antoni and acted very actively.
By this time, no player would regard this game as an exhibition match.
No one likes to be a loser, not even in the All-Star Game.
There is only one common voice in the hearts of the players: win this damn game!
After the timeout, Stoudemire hugged Chen Yan and whispered: "Chen, if you win this game, you will be tonight's MVP."
Chen Yan glanced at Xiaosi in confusion, then looked up at the statistics on the big screen, and then suddenly realized.
Unknowingly, he had scored 24 points, ranking first among the Western Conference teams in personal scoring.
Kobe Bryant is injured this year, Iverson is not feeling well, and almost no one in the West wants to compete for amvp (all-star mvp).
The same goes for Chen Yan. As he said in an interview before the game, he was just here for entertainment and treated the All-Star Game as a party.
This is not difficult to see from Chen Yan's performance in the first half, especially in the second quarter. Chen Yan only took one shot and scored 2 points, becoming the ultimate paddling monster.
In the third quarter, Chen Yan also focused on entertainment, but Paul's feeding ability was too strong, which forced Chen Yan to score 10 points in this quarter.
The current top scorer in the Eastern Conference is James with 23 points, followed by Wade with 18 points and Howard with 16 points.
After the timeout, the head coaches of both sides also made corresponding substitution adjustments.
Western Conference All-Star Team: Paul, Chen Yan, Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki and Duncan.
Western Conference All-Star offensive possessions.
Paul passed the pick-and-roll to Nowitzki, who received the ball, turned around and leaned back, all in one go!
It's a pity that this ball was a bit unlucky and it missed the basket.
Fortunately, Chen Yan arrived in time, took off and scored the ball with one hand!
123 to 121.
In the next round, the Eastern team's offense was locked up, and Billups took a hasty shot when the attack time of the round was about to reach 24 seconds.
The basketball bounced out of the frame, and King Nuo grabbed the rebound and handed it to Paul for playmaking.
In this round, Chen Yan once again transformed into a pie-eating man. After receiving a pass from Paul, he cut into the penalty area and stopped in the air to make a throw!
125 to 121.
Chen Yan scored four points in a row at the critical moment!
The next second, James and Wade's eyes met. It was time to teach this rookie a lesson!
Eastern All-Star offensive possession.
Wade held the ball high and motioned for James to come over and catch the ball.
However, there was a problem in the communication between the two. James thought Wade wanted him to make a cut, so he chose a reverse run when Wade passed the ball!
Chen Yan did not let go of the Eastern Star team's mistake. He took the ball with a quick step and quick eyes and hands!
The next second, Chen Yan was like a shooting star, holding the ball and heading towards the frontcourt!
James and Wade had no time to worry. They immediately increased their power to chase Chen Yan. They had to use actions to make up for their mistakes in the round!
The three of them ran wildly and raced on the field!
The scene was very exciting, and the fans stood up collectively!
After accelerating into the penalty area, Chen Yan ejected and took off. He only had eyes for the basket!
The moment Chen Yan took to the air, James and Wei also took off at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right.
Double ghosts open the door!
Both of them are shot-blocking masters among outside players. One on the left and one on the right can be said to have completely blocked Chen Yan's shooting angle!
Chen Yan felt the pressure from behind, so he did not dunk or layup after taking off, but instead glided elegantly and reached directly under the backboard!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan tightened his lower abdomen, pulled the lever and shot the ball from behind the backboard!
James and Wade were dumbfounded in the air. They were following Chen Yan to hit the board. But you shot from behind the backboard and asked us to hit the air?
The ball passed over the backboard and fell straight into the net!
"Whoa!"
127 to 121!
"Wowow!! Magical ending!!"
"We can see the helpless expressions of James LeBron and Dwyane. There is really no way to deal with this kind of magic ball!"
Barkley and Kenny Smith screamed!
James and Wade looked at each other in confusion. They had agreed to give Chen Yan lessons, but why did he show off when they turned around?
The cheers in the arena were loud. No one thought that Chen Yan would end the attack in this way.
To be honest, even Chen Yan himself didn't expect it.
This kind of lever pull was a sudden inspiration. He had never practiced it in training and was not very sure about it.
But what I have to say is that this ending method is really all-star!
"time-out!"
The Eastern All-Stars called a timeout, and in this minute they allowed Chen Yan to hit a 6-0 spurt by himself.
After the timeout, the Eastern team fine-tuned the lineup. Head coach Flip Saunders replaced Wade and replaced him with Joe Johnson. They needed outside shooters more than Wade's scalpel-like breakthrough at this time.
When the Eastern Conference team was at its most critical, James stepped forward, but the way he helped the team was not by scoring, but by passing the ball.
After consecutive breakthrough points, James assisted Billups and Joe Johnson to score three-pointers from the outside.
127 to 127, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
The next two rounds of attacks by the East and West troops ended in blacksmithing.
In the last 33 seconds, the Eastern All-Stars had the ball.
Holding the ball and consuming the attack until the last 2 seconds, James once again chose to pass the ball!
Joe Johnson took the blame... No, he hit the ball from mid-range and long range!
129 to 127, the Eastern All-Stars achieved a last-minute lead!
The Eagle King once again proved that he has a big heart!
At this time, with 8.9 seconds left before the end of the game, the Western Conference All-Stars requested a timeout.
The fans at the New Orleans Center couldn't contain their excitement. Tonight they saw both a performance and a real game, and now they might even see a game-winner.
