The inter-section break is over and the fourth quarter begins.
The lineup sent by the Eastern All-Star Team is: Rose, Wade, James, Bosh, and Howard.
The lineup sent by the Western Conference All-Star Team is: Nash, Anthony, Durant, Sun Yi, Stoudemire.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eastern All-Stars took the lead.
Rose dribbled to the top of the key and noticed that the Western Conference All-Stars had increased their defensive intensity.
"Are you starting to get serious?"
Not wanting to aggravate the injury, Rose immediately passed the ball and ran to the side to continue paddling.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Wade received the pass and immediately took the first step, easily passing Anthony and then broke straight into the penalty area.
Seeing this, Sun Yi and Stoudemire quickly rushed back to the basket to defend.
Seeing this situation, Wade did not force a breakthrough and chose to give the ball away.
In the mid-range area on the right side, Bosh received the pass and saw that no one was guarding him. He adjusted and jumped to shoot.
At this moment, Sun Yi rushed back quickly and stretched out his arms to interfere.
"Why did this guy come back so fast?!"
Bosh was shocked when he saw this scene, which caused some deformation of his shooting movements.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Stoudemire grabbed the defensive rebound, found Nash immediately, and passed the ball.
Nash received the pass and immediately rushed forward to launch a defensive counterattack.
At the same time, Sun Yi, Durant and others quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.
The Eastern All-Stars retreated very quickly, each returning to their own defensive areas, without allowing the Western All-Stars to initiate a fast break.
Falling into a positional battle, Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll.
After blocking the pass, Stoudemire was intercepted by Bosh who came to help defend and failed to break into the penalty area.
Seeing this, Nash immediately passed the ball to the unguarded Sun Yi.
Sun Yi received the pass, made a fake shot to shake off James who came forward to cover, and then accelerated towards the basket.
"Sun's attack was too bold and a bit unwise." Kenny Smith commented, shaking his head.
"I think Sun must have a purpose for doing this. He relies on his golf intelligence to play." Barkley supported Sun Yi without hesitation.
In the penalty area, Sun Yi rose into the air, and after physically confronting Howard who came to defend him in the air, he stuffed the ball from Howard's waist into the basket.
Under the basket, Stoudemire, who was preparing to grab the rebound, subconsciously received the pass.
Nash often passes this kind of ball, and he has developed a conditioned reflex.
After receiving the pass, Stoudemire picked up the green onions and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Good shot! I'm right, Sun won't play mindlessly." Barkley said proudly.
Kenny Smith was a little embarrassed and did not make any response.
Back on the court, the Eastern Conference All-Stars attacked. Wade broke through with the ball and rushed to the basket. He flew for a layup but was interfered by Stoudemire and failed to score the ball.
Since Howard has no shooting ability, he can only be a deterrent by staying near the penalty area.
Therefore, the penalty area is very crowded, making it very difficult for the Eastern All-Stars to break through and score.
Under the basket, Sun Yi quickly rushed back, jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound. After landing, he immediately passed the ball forward.
Durant, who was on a fast break, received the pass, took three steps outside the three-point line, rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
After the goal was scored, the Western Conference All-Stars overtook the score!
At the critical moment, James stood up. He used a tank-like breakthrough to knock Durant away, and hit a mid-range emergency stop jumper to stabilize the situation on the court.
Looking back, Durant was not to be outdone. He hit a pull-up jumper against James' defense and responded with a goal.
Ball possession transition, Eastern All-Star offense.
Rose dribbled the ball across half court, passed it immediately, ran to the side and continued paddling.
In the free throw line area, James received the pass and singled out Durant.
At the same time, Wade, who was standing in the right corner, suddenly started, broke away from Anthony's defense as quickly as possible, and cut along the baseline towards the basket.
James quickly threw the ball to the basket with quick eyes and hands.
Wade rushed to the basket, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.
The Western Conference All-Stars served quickly. After receiving the ball, Nash started to push forward at the fastest speed and launched a run and gun.
Sun Yi didn't care so much and ran towards the basket desperately.
Seeing this, Nash hit the ground and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Sun Yi, who was running fast, received the pass, rushed to the basket, and was about to take off for a dunk. He was hugged by James who rushed over, causing a foul and winning two free throws.
Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans in the audience, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, took the basketball from the referee, and made two free throws steadily.
During the next game, the two sides fought hard to separate each other, taking the lead alternately.
About 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, the head coaches of both teams made substitutions.
The Eastern All-Stars replaced Rose and replaced him with Joe Johnson.
The Western Conference All-Stars replaced Nash, Sun Yi and Stoudemire and replaced Billups, Nowitzki and Gasol.
At critical moments, George Karl believes more in Billups, who has defensive ability, and intends to help Anthony win the MVP. Flounder can help Melo to exert his strongest strength on the court.
After substitutions and adjustments, the Eastern Conference All-Stars attack.
Wade quickly dribbled the ball forward and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense, preparing to attack the strong point inside.
Howard quickly came to the penalty area, squeezed Gasol away to occupy a favorable position, and then reached for the ball.
After Gasol lost his position, he could only defend forward.
Wade had quick eyesight and quick hands to flip the ball into the basket.
Howard received the pass, rose directly from the ground, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
The Eastern All-Stars once again overtook the score.
It was the Western All-Stars' turn to attack. Billups dribbled to the top of the arc and passed the ball to Anthony for a single.
Anthony received the pass, made a triple threat action, and took a tentative step.
James did not step forward to defend closely. He was always watching Anthony's knees and prepared to prevent breakthroughs.
Melo didn't try any more, released the ball and started quickly, breaking through to the right.
James reacted immediately and moved sideways to provide physical confrontation.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze away from James, Anthony suddenly stopped, stepped back to distance himself, and hit a mid-range jumper.
Looking back, James hit a ball in the same way, but unfortunately he missed.
Under the basket, Howard occupied a favorable position, jumped up hard, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked into the frame.
Immediately afterwards, Anthony repeated his old tricks and beat James but failed to score.
The Eastern All-Star team protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.
Wade took the lead and rushed into the penalty area, took a European step to avoid Durant's defense, rushed to the basket and scored a backhand layup.
In the next few rounds, Anthony and Durant took turns playing singles, with very poor shooting percentages and failed to narrow the point difference.
The Eastern All-Stars took this opportunity to rely on their strengths inside, frequently rushing to the basket to cause damage, and getting free throws to further widen the point difference.
When the game entered the final three minutes, the Eastern All-Stars led by 8 points.
Western All-Star head coach George Karl immediately requested substitutions and replaced Sun Yi and Duncan.
Duncan was not very willing at first. After all, he was old and could only play basketball for health and did not want to work overtime.
But Deng Dadai couldn't resist George Karl's tough words and had no choice but to go into battle again.
After substitution adjustments, the Western Conference All-Stars attacked.
Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, observed the position of his teammates, and prepared to deal the cards.
Originally, he wanted to pass the ball to Anthony for a single, but he saw Sun Yi running forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.
Flounder could only cooperate with the pick-and-roll with tears in his eyes. After bypassing the screen, he broke through into the penalty area while observing the position of his teammates.
At the same time, after Sun Yi finished the screen, he immediately cut towards the basket.
Seeing that Anthony had no chance, Billups could only pass the ball to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi received the pass and rushed into the penalty area. He was double-teamed by Bosh and Howard and passed the ball to the basket through the gap.
Duncan received the pass and hit the ball with an unpretentious rebound, recovering 2 points.
It was the Eastern All-Star team's turn to attack. Howard attacked the inside and was taught a lesson by the experienced Duncan.
Sun Yi rushed back to grab the defensive rebound. After landing, he quickly turned around and advanced toward the frontcourt.
James, Wade and others quickly pursued the defense, trying to catch Sun Yi.
On the other side, Sun Yi, who was dribbling quickly, rushed into the three-point line and broke through to the basket. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Banana Boat Brothers chasing behind him.
"It's not that easy to cover me."
After Sun Yi made up his mind, he jumped up hard and made a layup gesture.
James and Wade jumped up immediately, stretching their arms to shoot the basketball.
Sun Yi, who was flying in the air, took the ball back, played a trick on the two James and Wei brothers, and immediately passed the ball out.
Nowitzki, who followed up from the right, received the pass and hit a mid-range jumper, scoring 2 points.
Looking back, James forced his way to the basket, but was blocked by Sun Yi and Duncan and failed to score.
Nowitzki grabbed the rebound and passed it to Billups to advance.
After receiving the ball, Flounder took a dribble and immediately passed the ball forward.
Anthony, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket, and in order to save energy, he flew for a layup.
In the next few rounds, both sides scored points, and the game was extremely tense.
The fans in the audience were excited to see such a passionate game.
When there were about 60 seconds left in the game, the score was 141 to 139, and the Eastern All-Stars led by 2 points.
Wade dribbled to the top of the arc, pressed for time, and then made a tactical gesture.
Bosh quickly ran forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
With the help of the screen, Wade broke away from Billups' defense and rushed into the three-point line.
Near the free throw line, he quickly made a forward change of direction to pass Nowitzki, who was changing defense, and rushed towards the basket.
Seeing this situation, Duncan immediately rushed back to the basket to help defend.
Wade rushed to the basket, jumped into the air, pulled the lever to avoid Duncan's interference, and scored a backhand layup.
Sun Yi rushed back quickly, picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline and served the ball.
Billups quickly advanced toward the frontcourt and launched a fast break.
He came outside the three-point line and saw that there was no good opportunity to take a shot, so he passed the ball.
Anthony, who was running, received the pass and took advantage of the Eastern All-Star team's defense not being formed to make a jump shot.
James, who was retreating on defense, saw this situation and immediately rushed to interfere.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Just when everyone felt sorry, a figure wearing No. 9 jersey jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound.
After landing, Sun Yi saw James and others surrounding him and immediately passed the ball out.
Billups, who was unguarded outside the three-point line, received the pass, was absolutely big-hearted, and took the shot calmly.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
143:142!
At this time, there were 22 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Eastern All-Stars requested a timeout.
The fans at the scene were extremely excited. They did not expect that this year's All-Star Game would go to the last minute and there might be a buzzer beater.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
The Eastern All-Star team replaced Howard and replaced him with Horford to prevent the "Huo Huo tactic".
After the timeout, Horford came to the sideline to serve.
Sun Yi and others followed their defenders closely and did not give them a chance to catch the ball easily.
Seeing that time was running out and a serving violation was about to occur, Horford felt a little anxious.
At this moment, Horford saw James coming out and became his life-saving straw, and immediately passed the ball.
What he didn't expect was that Sun Yi suddenly rushed out from James, touched the basketball first, and rushed towards the frontcourt.
The players of the Eastern All-Star Team reacted and quickly returned to the defense to catch up.
"Oh my god! The Eastern All-Stars made a fatal passing error. Sun completed the steal and rushed towards the opponent's basket." Kenny Smith explained in surprise.
On the court, Sun Yi quickly rushed to the basket and scored a layup.
143:144!
The Eastern All-Stars had no timeouts available and quickly served the ball.
Wade received the ball and advanced quickly, but was interfered by Billups, slowed down, dribbled steadily to outside the three-point line, and then passed the ball to James.
"The Evil God"
James immediately started after receiving the pass, using a tank-style breakthrough to charge towards the basket.
Sun Yi quickly moved sideways to block the ball and stayed in front of James.
James didn't stop, and immediately took three big steps, carried Sun Yi to the basket with difficulty, jumped sideways to avoid Sun Yi's defense, and threw the ball towards the basket.
At this moment, Duncan, who came back quickly, slapped the basketball from behind James and knocked it out of the baseline.
At this time, there were about 3 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Eastern All-Stars had the ball.
Bosh came to the baseline to serve and passed it to Wade who was running quickly.
The Flash received the pass and had no time to adjust. He jumped up directly and threw the ball with his body flowing in the air. The difficulty level was very high.
"when!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Sun Yi grabbed the defensive rebound and hugged it tightly.
After a while, a harsh buzzer sounded throughout the arena, signaling the end of the All-Star Game.
In the end, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars 144-143 and won the final victory.
