One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-Two. No Rest Tonight

"Do you think you have a chance to go down and rest? If you don't fight for more than thirty minutes tonight, you will have a chance to rest!"

In the eyes of Kobe looking at ordinary people, Sun Ce had just put on his training clothes, and Popovich just called his name: "Noah, you continue to go up and organize the offense; Kobe, you are responsible for containment and shooting, and the opponent will definitely focus on it next." To guard against your mid-range and long-range shots, you need to make cuts; Zach, be prepared to respond to singles and defend the basket; James, be prepared to set the ball, and when you cooperate with Noah, you can just cooperate with Stephen..."

After arranging the four rotation players, Popovich thought for a while and realized that he still needed to do something to hide himself from others, and he also wanted to win!

Popovich said: "Tim, you go and defend with Noah, Zach guards the basket, and Tim and Lord rotate in the mid-range to cover and expand the defense."

Sun Ce also realized at this time that this human spirit was not going to let him rest!

I waited until he put on his training clothes before calling his name!

Sun Ce wanted to high-five Curry on the court, but Curry turned his head...

"Why is this elementary school boy so arrogant again? Two of my four assists were given to him, right?"

…

After the timeout, Sun Ce, who scored 2 points, 4 assists and 1 steal, and Kobe, who scored 11 points and 2 assists, led three teammates who took turns to play.

The Eastern team is obviously different. There is a large-scale rotation. Evans, Wade, Luol Deng, Bosh, and Noah are on the court, five up and five down.

However, in the All-Star Game, no one is a bad player, and the Eastern Team is still strong!

But relatively speaking, compared to Kobe and Sun Ce, who have been working together for half a quarter and have trained together many times in the West, and compared to the cooperation between Sun Ce and Randolph, Bosh and Wade have a tacit understanding of offense in the East. Better, the defensive cooperation between Luol Deng and Noah is better.

And because Wade has to hold the ball, Evans can't have much effect.

Of course, the Eastern team played well due to its strength.

But the Western team, Kobe, Randolph, and Harden, led by Sun Ce, played very well on the offensive end. The key is, Sun Ce + Duncan's mid-range defense change, assist defense, and supplementary defense are so strong!

It vaguely showed the expected defensive cooperation between Duncan and Garnett.

At the 11th minute of the first quarter, the Western team led 38 to 33 by 5 points!

Popovich wants to win;

Spoelstra wants to win too!

Seeing that Sun Ce had 7 assists in a single quarter, Kobe Bryant had 20 points in a single quarter, and the Western Conference was still leading, James couldn't sit still, he wanted to compete with these two!

Also unable to sit still is Ross!

Spoelstra was happy to replace Rose, but at James' strong request, Spoelstra could only replace James with him.

In the last minute, the Western team was composed of Irving, Westbrook, Sun Ce, Aldridge, and Randolph.

The Eastern team sent a combination of Rose, Wade, James, Bosh, and Garnett.

As soon as James Bosh came up, coupled with Rose, who has great cutting skills, and Garnett, who has shooting ability, the Eastern team scored two goals in the last minute, a three-pointer from Bosh and a cut-in dunk from Garnett. It was a very good game. pretty.

However, the Western team pulled away by another point!

The defense of the Eastern team's lineup is also excellent. James, Bosh, and Garnett can switch defenses inside without limit, and they can also expand outside. Rose and Wade have strong defensive pressure and excellent pursuit ability. Sun Ce failed to stop him in this minute. The offense was well organized, but he got two assists alive!

Irving took over twice and scored all three points!

44 to 38, the Western team leads by 6 points entering the second quarter!

Irving was originally only substituted to show his face, but he seized the opportunity. He knew that in his rookie year, he was in the Western Conference. If Paul, Parker, and Anthony had not withdrawn from the All-Star, he really had no chance to enter the All-Star. There was no chance to perform even after entering.

However, he seized this little opportunity and made a pass shot by Sun Ce. On the stage of the All-Star Weekend, no one paid attention to this second-year lottery team point guard. At this time, Irving himself grabbed the spotlight!

With Irving scoring 6 points, Sun Ce having 5 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists in the first quarter, and Kobe Bryant scoring 20 points in a single quarter, the Western team temporarily gained the upper hand!

…

In the second quarter, Popovich finally let Sun Ce and Kobe rest at the same time.

It doesn't really matter for them to rest. There are more people in the east, so there are more of them!

Westbrook, Harden, and Curry's three guards appeared at the same time, coupled with Griffin and Nowitzki, the offensive firepower was still fierce.

In this game, Sun Ce rested peacefully when it was time to rest. Although he was not too tired in the first quarter, Sun Ce still wanted to rest and distribute his energy well.

His teammates were so good. When he and Duncan were cooperating on defense, it felt like they had a mountain at their backs. As long as the defense needed to be covered within a reasonable range, Duncan could fill in the loopholes and score 17-13.

In such a game, winning at the beginning does not count as winning. You have to win in the end, and you have to find a way to bring out the abilities of these powerful teammates.

Each of these temporary teammates is a big boss of the party, worthy of trust and cooperation.

Just as Sun Ce expected, Westbrook soon felt comfortable working with Curry and Harden. Coupled with Griffin's offensive rebound impact and Nowitzki's containment, the Western team's offensive firepower is still fierce. .

In the East, facing the West team, the offense was more fierce and quickly overtook the score, but after Curry and Harden each scored two three-pointers, the West team took the lead again, up to 12 points.

But the East was also strong enough to catch up again.

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, when the combination of Sun Ce, Kobe, Curry, Randolph, and Duncan came on the court again, the West team led by 4 points 79 to 75.

The timeout was about to end, and Kobe said to Sun Ce: "Hey, be prepared to play the whole second half."

What! Can't you call him by name?

Sun Ce felt that Kobe always targeted him, and felt that this snake player was difficult to get along with!

However, Sun Ce felt that what Kobe said should not be wrong. The score was so tense, Popovich would definitely let him and Kobe play more.

Seeing James and Rose on the opposite side also appear on the court again, he felt the desire to win of the two on the opposite side. Compared with the desire for victory, Sun Ce was not inferior to the opposite side!

The game continued. Sun Ce, with a strong desire to win, made good use of his current teammates and organized the offense. He let Randolph play one-on-one when it was time to do so, and let Duncan assist when it was time to do so. On the defensive end, with Duncan behind him, Sun Ce could provide assist at will. Duncan didn't care whether he was the one getting the stats or the one filling the gaps when defending. When the two teammates on the outside didn't defend very well, the two of them plus Randolph under the basket held up the defense!
