Chapter 247 Halftime End

When the All-Stars of both sides start to enter the competitive state, the game will look better.

"Run! Run!" Jordan wanted to speed up the game, making it harder for the Western Conference's two power forwards.

"Slow down, press the tempo!" Kobe didn't want to run and play, the lineup was too cumbersome, and the two forwards were both power forwards, although they had good athletic ability. It's just too bulky for freaks like Hill and Pippen.

Slow on one side and fast on the other.

Kobe pursued success rate and offense at the basket, while Jordan wanted to run the West to death.

Due to the incompatibility between Kobe and Marlon Kemp, he can only cooperate with Dameng and Richmond more.

This undoubtedly wasted the team's height advantage. Kemp and Malone played more blue-collar roles on the court, which made them a little uncomfortable.

The offensive and defensive line composed of Jordan, Penny, Pippen, and Hill began to gradually exert their strength.

Every player has his own ability to handle the ball, every player can attack, every player has top-level defense.

The West was bombarded by such a combination and fell into a disadvantage.

These players played very well as a whole, and Kobe in the West couldn't integrate the team, and the efficiency of singles was very low.

When the two sides began to let substitutes play, the score has widened the gap.

West 18:26 East.

The two sides began to switch substitute players.

"Coach, let me play for a while." Kobe was not reconciled.

"Okay, remember you only have 25 minutes to play."

The western lineup is adjusted to guard Kobe Bryant, John Stockton, forward Clyde Drexler, Eddie Jones, and center Kevin Garnett.

The East is adjusted to guard Tim Hardaway, Joe Dumars, forward Glenn Rice, Vin Baker, and center Dikambe Mutombo.

"John, will you play well?" Kobe smiled threateningly.

"Boy, although I am very upset that you stole my starter, I will always play seriously on the court!" In terms of professionalism, Stockton is definitely a role model for the NBA.

"Okay guys, what did they do to us just now? Pay them back now!"

Finally put on a small lineup! Still a small lineup with top passers!

This set of lineup is the most suitable for Kobe to play. You don't need to suppress yourself and play offensive and defensive positions patiently.

The rotation pause time, the camera turned, and switched to the interview screen of the Big Dipper Chamberlain on the sidelines.

The 61-year-old Chamberlain is a bit of a vicissitudes, with a gray beard drooping on his face, and he is not very energetic. But his strong body seems to still be able to see the basketball emperor back then.

It was Sager who interviewed Chamberlain, and today he was wearing a red patterned suit.

"Wilter! Long time no see! It's nice to see old friends."

"Long time no see Saige."

"what's up?"

"Old man, looking at these young people, I really miss the years of fighting on the basketball court."

"This group of 'young people' is indeed very good. Who do you prefer?"

"Michael has unparalleled dominance, and Olajuwon is close to my 80% strength. But my favorite is Kobe."

"Oh? Why Kobe?"

"He is most like me, he will be the Wilt of this era." Chamberlain smiled.

"The two sides rotated on the bench! Surprisingly, Kobe continued to appear on the court!"

"Seg interviewed Chamberlain just now, and Wilt said that Kobe resembles him the most. Why does he think Kobe resembles him?"

"Desire to win? Domineering style of play? Exaggerated statistics? Or the mentality that dares to fight the team on his own shoulders?"

"Chamberlain didn't say it, and we don't know."

"The game continues!"

Stockton advanced with the ball, and Kobe began to run without the ball.

"This kid, even if he is an All-Star, he has to show off." Pippen was not surprised on the sidelines.

"His desire to perform is really strong, or his desire to win is very strong." Ewing was deeply touched.

"However, the victory will still belong to me in the end!" Jordan raised his chin. Last year, he won the regular season best player MVP, all-star best player AMVP, and finals best player FMVP in his arms, completing an exaggeration The Grand Slam, this year he also wants to continue to pursue this achievement.

Kobe's opponent was Dumars. This veteran was here to play around with the All-Stars. He didn't even warm up. He chased Kobe for two laps symbolically, and then started walking.

"Whoosh!" Stockton's pass across an arc, just fell into the hands of Bryant ran out of space.

Three-point shot!

hit!

"Kobe's hands are hot, and Joe Dumars' defensive attitude is average."

"Kobe combined with Stockton is equivalent to Nash + Kobe who strengthened the board. The offensive lethality of this system is very strong."

"Tim Hardaway and Joe Dumars have poor defensive desires, making Kobe play like a duck to water!"

"Glen Rice stood up! Shooting from inside and outside! Continuous hits and shots!"

"Vin Baker singles Kevin Garnett!"

"Garnett hat! Slap Wen Baker to the ground!"

"Kobe pushes the ball! Garnett keeps up!"

"Two high school rookies! They were also selected as All-Stars! The future of the league! They participated in this offense and defense at the same time!"

"Kobe throws the ball high!"

"Hit the board!"

"Karnett dunks with both hands!"

"The hot draft of high school students in the past few years is justified. I believe that the draft picks of high school students will be greatly improved soon."

"The camera is on Lamar Odom, the No. 1 high school in the United States! He is clapping hard!"

"There are rumors that Lamar will get a top three pick this year!"

"Besides Duncan, Lamar is my favorite in this rookie class."

Kobe finally tied the score at the end of the first quarter.

35 West: 35 East.

Glenn Rice's outburst made the scene out of control for a while, but fortunately Kobe and Eddie Jones took turns to put pressure on him, which greatly reduced Glenn Rice's shooting opportunities.

"Huh~" Kobe gasped.

In the first quarter, he scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

"Take a good rest."

At the beginning of the second quarter, some All-Stars who hadn't played yet, such as Detlef Schrempf, Tom Gugliotta, Kristen Laettner, and Chris Webber took turns to appear.

After Kobe and Jordan left the field, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides began to drop sharply.

After Kobe went off the court, Glen Rice became another point of explosion.

As Glen Rice, who ranked fourth on the scoring list this season, he averaged 26.8 points per game. He hit 2.6 three-pointers with a 47% three-point shooting rate, and once he found the touch, his offense was difficult to stop.

Then the starting players and substitutes of both sides played alternately and interspersed with each other.

Every star has brought out the best in himself.

The first half is over.

West 63: East 67.

Rice had 14 points.

Kobe had 13 points.

Hardaway 11 points.

Olajuwon 10 points.

Jordan 7 points.
