James dribbled the ball skillfully while making physical contact with the Black Mamba who was guarding him.
Come on!
As soon as he made contact, James knew that the Black Mamba was not defending with a playful mentality.
After understanding, he changed hands and pushed to the basket. Kobe stretched out his hand to interfere, but James directly threw the ball in the air, trying to pass the ball to a teammate.
Alley-oop?
Yes, it’s an alley-oop!
Wade came out of nowhere and caught the ball for a dunk.
Janeway is connected!
A famous beautiful scenery in the league appeared in the sky above Houston tonight.
2:2.
Well done!
Wade grinned and waved his hand towards James.

"I didn't expect the Eastern Team to respond in the same way. It will be interesting to see what happens next!" Ke Fan said.
"Now the king has not scored a single point. I hope he won't play like Yao did back then. He was too passive!" Director Zhang, who has remained unchanged for thousands of years, was worried.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Director Zhang. With the king's temperament, I believe he will not miss this rare performance moment."
Ke Fan knows very well what Director Zhang is worried about?
It's just that I feel that Wang Zelin is very likely to be like the fledgling Yao Ming. Although he played as an All-Star, his time and performance on the court were not even as good as a substitute player.
It may be related to the fact that center players are not very popular in the All-Star Game, which is mostly a performance game, but the bigger factor is that Yao Ming is too reserved.
Players with introverted personalities are the least suitable to participate in an entertainment-oriented event like the All-Star Game.
Later, there was even a saying that "Yao Ming is not suitable for All-Stars!"
Facts have proved that Director Zhang’s worries are not unreasonable!
Paul came to the whole court and ignored Wang Zelin who was open inside. After passing Wade, he pulled one out from mid-range and hit the ball.

"Chris's fighting spirit is very strong today!" Kenny Smith laughed.
Last year, Paul showed little desire in the All-Star Game. He mainly assisted his teammates, scoring 8 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal.
It is worth mentioning that all 8 of Paul's points came in the second half.
This year, Paul started the game by attacking first, showing a high desire to attack.
"Maybe he wants to compete for AMVP." Barkley shrugged.
"I'm sorry!"
Wang Zelin, who made another roundabout run, shook his head helplessly.
It's not that he doesn't want to play, he wishes he could play more, but he is a rookie after all and doesn't have much say on the court.
Not to mention that the person in charge is the captain of the Clippers, who has a poor relationship with his own team.
When the first official timeout came, Wang Zelin failed to score any of his shots, and the only two points he got were earned by self-deduction.
Fortunately, in the All-Star Game, everyone's defense was average and they shot quite frequently, allowing him to get 3 rebounds.
2 points and 3 rebounds, this is the data Wang Zelin got in about half a quarter.
Depend on!
Wang Zelin, who looked depressed, returned to his chair. As soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered.
The All-Star Game in the 2012-13 season ended with the victory of the Western Conference. The MVP was won by Paul who made 10 of 7 shots, 5 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, and a total of 20 points, 15 assists and 4 steals.
He finally understood why Paul had such a strong desire to perform. He made 3 of 4 shots in the first half and scored 6 points, 2 assists and 1 steal.
"Oh, King's performance is pretty good. In less than half a quarter, his data has already surpassed Yao's data in his first All-Star Game." Ke Fan said with a smile.
"Let's see... 2 points and 3 rebounds, it really surpasses Dayao's 2 points and 2 rebounds in 17 minutes that year." Zhang guided.
In fact, the two of them had already seen the situation on the field.
Paul, the point guard of the Western Conference, seemed not to like Wang Zelin. The latter was left open at the basket many times without passing the ball. For a point guard of Paul's level, it goes without saying how wide his passing vision is.
They don't pass this kind of opportunity, and they even say they don't want to give assists. It really shouldn't be the case.
But only a few can be seen, which does not prevent Ke Fan and Director Zhang from praising Wang Zelin.
In the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans, this is Wang Zelin's first appearance in the All-Star Weekend. As long as the final performance can be better than Yao's first time, it is worthy of praise.
Now, Wang Zelin has completed his goal before the time of this section is over.
After the timeout, both teams replaced their substitute lineups.
As an all-star, everyone must have fun.
…
The two sides went back and forth, and after another half quarter, Gua hit a mid-range shot using his familiar triple-threat test step, and the first quarter ended.
The Eastern team trailed the Western team by 5 points at 26:31.
In the Eastern Conference, James scored 4 points and 2 assists, Anthony scored 5 points, Wade scored 2 points... basically all players on the team scored.
In the West, Paul scored a game-high 6 points and 3 assists, Durant scored 5 points, Kobe Bryant scored 2 points, and Wang Zelin scored 2 points...
At the beginning of the second quarter, after playing for 5 minutes, Wang Zelin had to admit that no matter where he goes, qualifications are indeed there.
As a newcomer, not only does he have less playing time, but he also does not get the recognition of the veteran players.
In the rookie game, Wang Zelin was the absolute protagonist. In the main game, he became a supporting role among the supporting roles, and Sima Wei did not give him much playing time.
At the end of the third quarter, Wang Zelin played a total of 15 minutes and scored a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds on 5 of 7 shooting. He simply made it clear to Sima Wei that he was not going to play again.
joke.
Almost all of Wang Zelin's shot opportunities on the court were his own tip-ins or second attacks after grabbing rebounds. It is tantamount to dreaming to expect his teammates to pass the ball.
Until now, the situation on the field has been very clear.
Carmelo Anthony in the Eastern Conference has shown his desire for the All-Star MVP. Considering that among the four Banana Boat brothers, James and Wade are the ones who are the most shy of Agua who has been in the field for many years.
The only heavyweight honor in his career, the regular season scoring title, was only won at the end of this season.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Previously, the highest honors in Agua's career were the All-NBA Third Team and the All-Star.
Even Paul, the youngest of the four brothers, has far more honors than Agua.
Therefore, James and Wade are willing to help Anthony.
After three quarters, Anthony has scored a team-high 17 points and 7 rebounds.
It's even clearer in the West. Kobe had 15 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds, Paul had 16 points, 11 assists and 3 steals, and Durant had 22 points and 4 rebounds. All three of them are pursuing the All-Star MVP.
In this case, Sima Wei was probably the happiest.
This can be seen from the fact that he only allowed his own All-Star players Tim Duncan and Tony Parker to play for less than ten minutes.
This is another reason why Wang Zelin chose not to play in the fourth quarter.
He doesn't want to waste his energy reserves during the All-Star weekend.
Kobe, Paul, Durant, and Howard played the most minutes on the Western Conference team, nearly 30 minutes each. Simavici's purpose was to wear down his opponents' energy during the All-Star Weekend.
He did it openly, but he couldn't stand it. He was willing to fight while the other was willing to suffer.
This is what Kobe and others did.
…
In the end, Wang Zelin only appeared for 15 minutes in his first All-Star game, scoring an economical double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.
At the end of the game, the Western team narrowly defeated the Eastern team 143:138.
Eastern Conference: Anthony 26 points and 12 rebounds, Wade 21 points and 7 assists, James 19 points and 5 assists, George 17 points, Irving 15 points...
West: Durant had 30 points and 6 rebounds, Paul had 22 points, 14 assists and 5 steals, Kobe had 19 points, Terry had 16 points, Harden had 15 points, Westbrook had 14 points...
After the game, Paul was awarded the All-Star Game MVP with his performance of 22 points, 14 assists and 5 steals.
The Banana Boat Brothers' All-Star MVP battle ended with Paul's victory.
