At the same time, on the Eastern side, Spoelstra waved his hand and replaced Stoudemire with Ray Allen to continue to increase outside firepower.
The game restarts.
After Rose passed half court with the ball, he handed the ball to James and began to move without the ball.
At the same time, Ray Allen was also speeding up, shuttling through various positions on the court.
However, Curry always followed him, never leaving.
Seeing that there was no particularly good passing opportunity, James decided to attack on his own.
The person guarding him was Adu.
Just like Wade wants to challenge Kobe, Durant also intends to challenge James at the last moment!
Xiaoshuai's body shape naturally does not give him an advantage.
With his lanky body, he is destined to be unable to compete with James in terms of strength and tonnage.
But Durant also has his own advantages.
His explosive power is good, coupled with the stride advantage brought by his slender lower limbs, Adu can basically keep up with James' pace.
If the position selection is reasonable, Durant has the ability to block James' shot!
Of course, these are all just words on paper.
This season, James is generally considered to have reached the pinnacle of combining physical and technical skills.
Looking at Durant who was concentrating on him, LeBron looked calm and looked past the former, observing the overall defensive layout of the Western Team.
After planning the offensive route, James took action!
There are no false moves, no sudden stops or starts.
LeBron's method of breaking Durant's defense is extremely simple - sudden!
Yes, he directly ignored Xiaoshuai's defense, crushed him like a tank, and accelerated to pass him from the right!
It is worth mentioning that James still chose the side without Yao Ming this time.
So naturally, the person standing in front of LeBron at this time is our Melo brother.
Anthony showed no fear.
Looking at James who was charging at him at full speed, he had firm eyes, raised his hands high, and took off with all his strength...
"bang!"
With Anthony behind him, James once again staged a dominating show and completed a one-handed dunk!
179:177, the score difference returned to one round.
After James dunked the ball, Durant and Anthony were a little frustrated.
Both of these two have a lot of connections with LeBron.
For them, becoming James' background is definitely the worst-case scenario.
"Can you let me take the next ball?"
"I'll take the next ball."
Xiaoshuai and Brother Gua said at the same time.
This made Curry, who had just received the serve from Yao Ming, a little embarrassed.
The two stars in front of him have more seniority than him.
They wanted the ball, and Curry had no objection.
But the key is... to whom?
Curry turned to look at the two big brothers in the Rockets - Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
Dayao smiled and said: "It's the last two minutes, I think it's better to give it to Tracy."
Without waiting for Guadu and Guadu to respond, Curry flicked his wrist and passed the ball to McGrady.
T-mac smiled slightly, nodded noncommittally, and then started to push forward.
This time it was Durant and Anthony's turn to be embarrassed.
The situation between the two is just like that of Curry just now. No matter how much he feels in his heart, he cannot compete with a big brother like Tracy McGrady and can only devote himself to the offense silently.
McGrady dribbled to the top of the key.
Defending him is the Flash-Wade.
T-Mac and Kobe have been good brothers for many years.
Although Wade did not mean to hurt anyone, McGrady was naturally unhappy when he saw Kobe being hurt repeatedly.
Now that The Flash is right in front of him, T-Mac immediately decides to teach the former some lessons!
McGrady slowly moved to a 45° angle to the right, then lowered his center of gravity and began to dribble with his hips to mobilize Wade's center of gravity.
Seeing that the time was right, t-mac dribbled the ball with his right hand, causing the ball to bounce high and float in the left hand.
The next moment, he mobilized all the functions of his body - from his eyes, to the shaking of his shoulders, to the fake movements of his hands...
McGrady completed an almost perfect left-hand crossover!
Wade staggered, his center of gravity shifted sharply, and he stumbled back two steps.
McGrady didn't let anyone take advantage of him, accelerating directly towards the basket...
His speed was so fast that Wade, the Flash, had no time to adjust his focus to make up for the defense.
Fortunately, Howard still exists in the penalty area of the Eastern Team!
As soon as Warcraft saw Wade being passed over, he immediately turned around and moved in the direction of McGrady.
At this moment, a big hand suddenly stopped in front of him.
Howard didn't notice and continued to move forward.
Then, he bumped into Yao Ming.
Of course, such collisions are too common in the paint, and Howard's first reaction is to use his hands to push away the opponent in front of him.
Normally, when Warcraft pulls like this, the opponent's inside line will make room for him.
But Yao Ming's tonnage does not favor him at all.
Howard made his first effort...
Dayao didn't move at all!
Only then did Howard react. Seeing that McGrady was about to reach the basket, he didn't care whether he would foul or not, and pushed Yao Ming with all his strength...
Unsuccessful.
Dayao is still as stable as Mount Tai!
At this time, t-mac had already taken off...
"bang!"
A two-handed tomahawk dunk that shocked everyone, igniting the entire audience!
When the CCTV host saw this, he suddenly became very poetic and said excitedly:
"I can draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf!"
"The way McGrady was in the air just now was like a fully drawn bow, giving people a bursting beauty!"
It wasn't over yet. When the fans cheered like a roaring tsunami, the referee also whistled for a blocking foul on Howard.
Two points scored, plus a penalty!
Dayao went to the free throw line to help the Western team add another point.
182:117, the Western team leads by five points!
There is about one minute left in the game at this time.
The head coach of the Eastern Team, Spoelstra, urgently called a timeout.
............
"We will serve in the frontcourt later and must score two points as soon as possible."
"If you can do it, quickly return to the backcourt to defend. Next... LeBron, will you defend Tracy?"
Spoelstra looked at James and said.
"Okay, leave it to me."
James agreed immediately.
Obviously, the little emperor is very confident in his defensive ability!
This season, he has been tasked with defending the opponent's "arrow" many times when the Heat and their opponents are in a tense situation.
"If the attack fails, we will quickly organize a counterattack in the frontcourt."
"When necessary, foul tactics can be adopted!"
Si Bo continued to arrange.
"But...the five on the opposite side are all ridiculously accurate in their free throws!"
"Curry, Yao Ming, Durant, Anthony, these are all players who shoot 90% of their free throws..."
Ross said solemnly.
"Yes, from the data point of view, our best mistake is McGrady. He only reached 80% free throw shooting in one season in his career."
Sibo said helplessly.
"Okay, then just trust the data."
"But more importantly, we must improve our offense first! Please help me with pick-and-rolls later!"
