The last section is coming.
The head coaches of both teams have arranged their respective lineups. Zhao Feiyang, who had scored 27 points in this game, temporarily sat on the team bench to rest. James Harden, who only scored 14 points in this game, was replaced again.
Before walking onto the court, Elizabeth shouted to Harden again. Unwilling to give up, she still tried to activate Harden's "jealousy" mode.
However, Harden had figured it out after experiencing several battles. He only responded coldly to Elizabeth's words.
"Elizabeth! I'm not Tom and Jerry from Tom and Jerry... whatever you want to do, you can just find someone to do it with!"
"Basketball is my favorite thing, and I won't do stupid things for it..."
After Harden finished speaking, he walked onto the court without looking back.
Elizabeth was also stupid at this time!
"Damn it! What happened to him?"
"Is there something wrong with my charm? Why does he have this attitude now?"
It's a pity that no one paid attention.
The Western Conference All-Stars serve again.
This time Stephen Curry advanced with the ball, and Harden came up from the wing to cover after halftime. Originally, he didn't want to catch the ball, but Curry failed to break through the two zones and simply passed the ball back to Harden.
Harden only got the basketball while standing on the three-point line. Ben Simmons, who flew up to interfere with him, stretched out his hand. Harden subconsciously jumped up and threw the ball in response to Simmons' interference.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer was scored.
Harden, who lost his balance during the jump and fell, also fell to the ground.
However, his shot won applause from the audience. Even Simmons, who was guarding him, took the initiative to reach out and pull him up from the ground.
"Can we get in here?"
Harden himself was a little confused.
I just subconsciously threw it away, but I didn’t expect it to actually come in! He had taken so many serious shots before, but he never had such a hit rate!
The Eastern All-Stars serve.
Kyrie Irving advanced with the ball, and after halftime he rushed inside with a single. After being interfered with, the ball was passed to the wing, and Antetokounmpo Giannis successfully got the ball.
Antetokounmpo took a feint shot, avoided LeBron who was interfering with him, and then rushed all the way to the basket. Even if Paul George came up to defend at this time, Antetokounmpo used his wingspan advantage to throw the ball into the basket in advance.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
The game goes on.
In the next few minutes, the performance of the Eastern and Western All-Star teams was extremely stable, and both sides were doing everything possible to help their teams score.
However, at 5 minutes and 16 seconds into the game, Harden, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly came into his own. Starting from a breakthrough, his touch inexplicably became hot.
Western Conference All-Star offense.
The ball passed half court and Curry missed a layup during the fast break. The rebound was picked off by Kevin Durant. Durant gave the ball to Harden. When Harden was playing alone, Irving went to defend.
The two faced each other, and Harden first feinted to test Irving's footsteps, then suddenly dribbled and swayed, and when Irving shifted his center of gravity, he suddenly shot a step-back three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The basketball goes directly into the net.
The whole audience exclaimed.
Even Zhao Feiyang, who was sitting on the team bench watching the game, was shocked by Harden's performance.
"Holy crap! It's okay! If Harden had played so seriously earlier, wouldn't he have made as many mistakes as before?"
The game continues on the court.
The Eastern All-Star team failed to counterattack, and Antetokounmpo was intercepted by LeBron. The ball was taken away, and the West once again gave the ball to Harden.
Harden held the ball across half court and deliberately slowed down when he was approaching the three-point line. Bradley Beal, who came up to guard him, just stretched out his hand, and Harden made a "Bowing to Buddha" movement. Bradley jumped up without thinking, but Harden easily swayed him to break through the defense.
The whole audience exclaimed.
Harden also took advantage of the situation and rushed into the two zones. This time he ended the battle with a dunk.
boom.
Harden jumped high and made a one-handed dunk, slamming the ball into the basket. The ball went in, and Harden also increased his score to 27 points.
No one expected that Harden, who did not look outstanding in the first half, would become more and more courageous at this time, and his scoring also became the second among the Western Conference All-Stars, except for the first LeBron James. Except for his 2 points more, no one else can score better than Harden.
There was not much time left. With 3 minutes and 13 seconds left in the game, the head coach of the Eastern All-Star Team, Mike Budenholzer, called a timeout.
Both sides took a break.
The score was 134 to 140. The Eastern All-Star team, which was originally leading, was now 6 points behind. Most of this was due to Harden's outstanding performance.
It seems that the situation in the east is not optimistic!
"Zhao, it's your turn!"
Budenholzer seems to like Zhao Feiyang quite a lot and chose to replace him at this time. At the same time, he also continued to let his disciple Antetokounmpo stay on the court.
In order to cooperate with Zhao Feiyang, coach Budenholzer specially replaced Zach LaVine to assist him.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and both sides returned to the field.
The Western Conference All-Stars serve again.
This time after the ball passed half court, Harden continued to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he was not as timid as before when he encountered Zhao Feiyang's interference. Instead, he raised the basketball and shot decisively.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer was scored again.
This time Zhao Feiyang pounced on him. He thought his defense was very good, but he still couldn't block Harden's shot.
This really surprised Zhao Feiyang again!
After the shot was scored, Harden also took the initiative to go up and give Zhao Feiyang a high-five, "Zhao, I'm sorry for what happened before... But from now on, I will fight you openly... ..."
Zhao Feiyang is not a stingy person. When faced with Harden's apology, he accepted Harden's apology calmly, "Okay! I also look forward to having a player like you as my opponent..."
The Eastern All-Stars serve.
LaVine held the ball through half the court. After encountering interference, he gave the ball to Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang also dribbled the ball to beat Harden one-on-one.
The two faced each other, and Harden suddenly took the ball away from Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang did not rush to shake him away, but blocked him with one side of his body, and then dribbled into the basket with one hand.
Antetokounmpo Giannis also blocked the defensive player who was trying to make up the position on the wing at this time. Taking this opportunity, Zhao Feiyang almost rushed to the basket with Harden. He did not give Harden a chance to step forward and block the shot. He held it with one hand. Throw the ball toward the backboard early when the ball is under the basket.
Snapped.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Zhao Feiyang's goal didn't look explosive, but he still won applause from many fans for using his experience to beat Harden in singles!
The Eastern All-Star team also quickly got into shape again because of his offense!
The fierce battle between the two sides at the last moment finally began.
