Chapter 1137 1136. Perfect Cooperation of All Stars!

The referee was stunned and didn't blow the whistle. The Eastern team had no choice but to start the game!

Nash received the ball and pushed forward to the front court.

Generally speaking, the All-Star Game is played for fun at the beginning. If the score difference is not big, the two teams will play well. If the score difference is big, they will just not play.

Even when Liu Mang and Kobe competed for the All-Star MVP in those two years, they played for fun at the beginning.

But it was different today. The fans saw that the two teams ran very methodically!

Nash pushed forward to the front court and came to the right side of the top arc. Iverson defended him.

Garnett went to the left baseline and took James away. Duncan went to the right side and stood at a 45-degree angle. McGrady followed behind him. When Yao Ming ran to the right side of the three-second zone, Duncan helped Yao Ming block Kwame Brown. Yao Ming immediately quickened his pace. Among the players over 2.16 meters in NBA history, Yao Ming is the fastest one!

Nash made a beautiful lob to Yao Ming who was cutting in the air. McGrady immediately pulled it back to block the ball. Liu Mang also let go of Kobe and double-teamed Yao Ming.

Yao Ming and Kobe had a good understanding. After receiving the ball, they faced Liu Mang and McGrady who were blocking the basket. They threw the ball from behind. Kobe, who was on the left side of the free throw line, received the ball and showed his perfect basic skills in the open mid-range. He made a mid-range jump shot!

The Western team took the lead!

Liu Mang and McGrady looked at each other and saw one word in each other's eyes: fucked!

This 2.26-meter-tall guy looked too scary! I was afraid of blocking him with two people!

The fans were surprised at the first ball. Both teams did a very good job in offense and defense, but... the Eastern team was too inferior in height and weight!

Even the strongest James and Kwame Brown were a little worse than the players they were facing.

If you can't defend, you can rely on offense!

McGrady picked up the ball and passed it to Liu Mang. The Eastern team ran to the frontcourt. After Liu Mang pushed forward to the frontcourt, he saw that it was Kobe who was defending him, Yao Ming was defending Kwame Brown under the basket, Nash followed Iverson, Garnett and Duncan followed James and McGrady...

Liu Mang blew a whistle, and the other three outside players of the Eastern team waved to request.

Kobe did not rush to steal the ball, nor did he rush to press forward. He was always ready to guard against Liu Mang's breakthrough. As for Liu Mang's shooting, he could shoot or not. Yao Ming in the interior defended Kwame Brown too easily. Kwame Brown couldn't even hit him.

What Kobe had to do was to double-team Liu Mang with Garnett when he broke through, and block Liu Mang's shooting as soon as possible. Liu Mang dribbled the ball, and Kobe was not afraid as long as he picked it up.

Just as Kobe was staring at Liu Mang's movements, Liu Mang turned to the left and dribbled with his left hand. He protected the ball with his shoulder and began to point at the three outside players with his right hand, muttering: "1.2.3, whoever is called will receive the ball and play one-on-one..."

What the hell is this!

Kobe was so confused by Liu Mang's voice that everyone else couldn't help but look at him to see what he was doing.

Suddenly, Liu Mang threw the ball towards the basket with his left hand!

What does this mean?

No one in the Western team understood.

Garnett immediately thought of something and turned around quickly, but James was gone!

Yao Ming under the basket felt Kwame Brown, who was squeezing towards the basket, pull back, and suddenly understood something. He ran out of the three-second zone, but James had already rushed into the basket, jumped high, and pressed the ball into the frame on the left side of the basket!

This...

It's too despicable!

It's also distracting!

What kind of game is this?

Liu Mang high-fived James, who ran out with a smile. They didn't need to retreat too fast, as the West was very slow.

This kind of clever play was actually only effective once, and it would be ineffective if used again.

However, it only took one time to be cool.

James felt that he had crushed his opponent in terms of IQ!

James received a pass from Liu Mang in last year's All-Star Game. He had never received such a comfortable pass. He was very excited in this All-Star Game, and now he felt that feeling again.

The five players of the Western team felt like idiots!

Beat them to death!

The three inside players of the Western team ran to the frontcourt. Garnett and Duncan looked at each other. Garnett ran to the baseline to take James away to open up space. Duncan proudly went to the low post to carry Kwame Brown, showing a rare joy. Yao Ming went to the right corner one step in to take McGrady away to open up space. Kobe continued to go to the left at a 45-degree angle and took Liu Mang away.

After Nash arrived at the frontcourt, Iverson quickly blocked him and tried to use the impact to pressure Nash.

Facing Iverson's blockade, Nash protected the ball and waved for a pick-and-roll. Duncan pulled out from the basket to block Iverson, and Nash broke through from the right!

Kwame Brown quickly switched to Nash. At this time, Duncan pushed Iverson away and came one step outside the free throw line. Nash passed the ball to Duncan and turned to cut to the basket.

At the same time, Yao Ming and Garnett ran out from the baseline on both sides and ran to the 45-degree angle on both sides to help Kobe and Nash block the defenders!

Liu Mang rushed to the basket before Garnett blocked him. Duncan really passed the ball to Nash at this time.

Just when Liu Mang rushed up to block Nash, Nash did not catch the ball, but hit the ball with the back of his hand. Liu Mang felt something was wrong and quickly ran out of the baseline.

"Bang..."

Liu Mang turned his head and saw Kobe falling from the air, and the basket was still creaking!

Seeing Kobe proudly looking up, looking at people with his nose and turning back, Liu Mang was so angry!

This guy wants to dunk on him!

The Western team played really well together!

Liu Mang picked up the ball and passed it to Iverson. When he ran to the front court, he glanced at Popovich on the sidelines. The Western team's deformed lineup actually played well together!

This old man with gray hair is really good!

Iverson advanced to the front court and faced Nash's defense. He didn't come by himself. He knew that he was not the protagonist today. Last year, Liu Mang and McGrady helped him win the MVP. This time, he had to give Liu Mang face and gave the ball to McGrady.

McGrady faced Duncan's defense and moved sideways to the left, came to the top arc, and accelerated the breakthrough!

Even at his peak, Duncan's footsteps were difficult to keep up with McGrady. It was possible to suppress McGrady with explosive power and speed, but now Duncan's "peak has passed" and he couldn't keep up!

The Eastern team advanced very quickly, and the Western team had not yet fully formed their formation. Garnett and Duncan came towards McGrady together. Fortunately, Garnett was fast and blocked McGrady at the free throw line with Duncan.

McGrady passed the ball to the back, Liu Mang followed up to the right side of the top arc to receive the ball, and after receiving the ball, Liu Mang took a big step to the left. Kobe wanted to steal the ball, but was shaken off. Garnett and Duncan did not have enough tacit understanding, and rushed towards Liu Mang together. Liu Mang passed the ball back to McGrady, and McGrady rushed to the basket and made a layup to score two points.

Yao Ming had only two options, one was to make up for it, but there was a very high possibility that McGrady, who received the ball and cut in, would avoid the layup... Very high! It was impossible to stop it, and there was also the possibility that Kwame Brown would catch the ball and dunk it, so Yao Ming simply stood under the basket. McGrady's layup was a little farther away and might not go in.

Since it went in, it went in. The game had just begun. Yao Ming picked up the ball and passed it to Nash.

The Eastern team has good mobility and many outside players. Even James and Iverson have a 37% three-point shooting rate this season. Although James's average of 1.4 three-pointers and Iverson's average of 1.5 three-pointers per game are not many, they can shoot and they are fast.

The Western team is not bad either. Although there are three inside players over 2.1 meters tall, they all have mid-range shooting, and Duncan, who is the "worst" in mid-range shooting, has a top mid-range shooting ability of 90, and the tactical coordination is very good!

This time, it was Garnett who scored. After a period of running and passing in the West, Kobe passed the ball to Garnett, and Garnett cut in and made a layup!

The two teams really took the game seriously as a regular season, even a playoff, or even a higher-level game!

And they are all All-Star players, and they play tactics slowly and well!

All-Stars are not role players who can't do the work of role players. On the contrary, because of their strength, as long as they are willing, they usually do many times better than role players of the same type. It's just that they are often the tactical core of their respective teams, and they don't need to do so much.

But today's game was full of stars, and the tactics were so beautiful!

The West team scored 6 points in a row at the beginning, and Liu Mang immediately called a timeout!
