Back for the second half.
On the Eastern Conference offensive, Wade once again charged into the paint with little defensive pressure, finishing the attack with a stylish back dunk.
The team still wasn't playing seriously.
Judging from this... they'll probably put on a serious showdown in the final quarter.
"boom!"
Stoudemire responded with a thunderous dunk.
He roared excitedly, "Three-pointers? I don't know how to do that! I only know how to dunk!!!"
"Shh!"
Kobe also hit a signature fadeaway jumper, then smiled and said, "We can't be so fixated on three-pointers, otherwise... we'll really be led astray by Su Yan and dragged into a ditch."
Nash delivered a no-look behind-the-back pass, setting up his well-coordinated teammate Stoudemire for another powerful two-handed dunk.
"Good!"
Nash gave Stoudemire a thumbs-up and confidently added with a smile, "Besides his three-pointers, his exquisite passing is also a pleasure to watch."
Yes.
After the second half in the Western Conference, they stopped focusing on three-pointers.
"boom!"
The connection between James and Wade, with LeBron's almost head-to-basket tomahawk alley-oop, sent the arena into a frenzy.
"Snapped!"
James and Wade high-fived in celebration.
LeBron laughed and said, "Three-pointers are Su Yan's domain. He can shine on his own."
The sky is my domain.
"And I!!!"
Howard followed suit with a tomahawk alley-oop, a powerful and heavy dunk that made the rim groan and the basketball hoop shake.
"Just watching? That won't do!"
With a hum, Rose dashed to the basket like lightning and unleashed a powerful "C-shaped" dunk that slammed into the rim.
The essential.
Dunk without hanging off the rim.
This made his super-powerful dunk even more aesthetically pleasing.
"Wooow~ It's here! The 'Windy City Rose' dunks without hanging off the rim, as violent as ever."
"Hey, hey."
Why do I have this long-lost feeling?!
"Yeah, I don't know when it started, but Derrick Rose's dunks without hanging from the rim have become so rare."
"Injured? Can't dunk."
"It's not that we don't dunk anymore, but rather that there are fewer high-energy, off-the-rim dunks, and we're leaning more towards normal dunks."
"Oh, this...this is good, it reduces wear and tear on the knees and body, and protects you."
"..."
The fans were whispering among themselves.
Su Yan saw Rose dunk again without hitting the rim, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
It seems the reminder failed.
That doesn't matter.
You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.
There's nothing I can do if someone insists on courting disaster.
Su Yan was too lazy to care and wouldn't say it a second time.
However… after Rose's powerful off-the-rim dunk, he returned to the court and stood in front of Su Yan, smiling:
"Su Yan, I listened carefully to your reminder last time and have been playing with protection ever since."
Tonight is the All-Star Game.
On special nights, it's okay to indulge a little.
"Oh."
Su Yan nodded lightly, "You don't need to emphasize this to me. Just do it your way."
He said he didn't care, but he was actually very happy that Rose listened.
Well, since no one is shooting three-pointers...
Su Yan was too lazy to vote.
He cut in from the left corner, pushed off the ground, grabbed the ball, and launched himself up with a powerful windmill dunk that slammed into the basket.
Duncan was right under the basket.
He was stunned by what he saw, and even swung his arms around in place, making a gesture, and did a standing windmill.
then.
The third section is a vibrant display of talent.
From starters to substitutes, all the All-Stars showcased their unique skills, bringing out their own distinctive offensive strategies.
It was so wonderful.
This is why fans are so excited for the All-Star Weekend.
Just watching so many stars, even superstars, playing together is exciting enough.
They can even score in fancy ways, making the game even more exciting.
Because they didn't focus on three-pointers, the Western All-Stars started to close the gap in the third quarter, trying to reduce the deficit as much as possible.
That final battle is what makes it exciting.
The three-quarter battle ended.
[Eastern All-Stars 117:113 Western All-Stars]
A four-point difference.
The score difference is well within an acceptable range and is satisfactory to the fans, which means... the two teams will go all out in the final quarter.
First, it was a matchup between the substitute All-Stars.
Even if they're substitutes, they're still All-Stars, and... everyone's ready to play seriously.
The intensity suddenly increased.
Efficiency may decrease, but the level of excitement will only increase.
Rotate every 4 minutes.
The two teams' All-Star reserves were evenly matched, showcasing various crossover dribbles, difficult shots over defense, and even... a powerful dunk over someone.
"boom!"
The electrifying match made the stadium even more electrifying.
The stadium, packed with over 10 people, was about to reach its climax!
"Beep!"
The point difference remained at 4 points, with 8 minutes remaining. Phil Jackson called a timeout.
Both teams' starting lineups have returned.
The final battle... is about to begin.
Western Conference Finals lineup: Nash, Kobe, Anthony, Stoudemire, and Duncan.
Eastern Conference Finals lineup: Rose, Wade, Su Yan, LeBron, and Howard.
It seems that the Eastern group, consisting of first-year student Su Yan and second-year student Ross, is somewhat weaker.
Actually.
Everyone knows just how terrifying the fighting power of the Eastern Conference All-Stars with Su Yan is.
Nash pushed the ball over, and while slowly dribbling, he executed a rhythmic "Hardaway crossover" in front of his body, shaking off Rose and rushing in on the right wing.
Draw LeBron's help defense.
Without slowing down, he charged in, seemingly about to attack, but actually made a behind-the-back pass to Stoudemire who was cutting in.
"Kick!"
He grabbed the ball and launched himself up, gliding through the air before unleashing a powerful one-handed dunk that made the basketball hoop sway slightly.
Real weapons and live ammunition.
When All-Stars execute plays that tear apart defenses and then unleash devastating scoring, the entertainment value skyrockets.
"nice shot!"
"so cool!"
The fans were immediately excited.
Switch to offense.
LeBron pushed the ball over and saw Su Yan drawing the attention of Stoudemire and Anthony on the perimeter. Without hesitation, he strode in.
"And I!"
Duncan stepped forward and stared at LeBron.
A forceful charge?
No need.
When teammates are strong enough, passing the ball is something LeBron is very happy to do when his own opportunities aren't great.
A high throw.
The basketball flew over Duncan's head, and then... on the other side, Howard leaped up and caught it with both hands.
slammmmmmdunk!
"They're all getting serious now!"
Kobe smiled slightly, "This is more interesting, but... I won't lose in a tough battle."
"Bang bang bang!"
Kobe approached Wade in the low post on the right side, repeatedly backing down him with a series of shoulder fakes to fool Wade.
One left and one right.
A turnaround fadeaway jump shot.
"Shh!"
It hit the ball as Wade's delayed arm reached out to block it...
The stadium erupted in cheers.
Your backbend had no wine, yet I was drunk as a dog.
Kobe's fadeaway jump shot is incredibly entertaining.
Offensive and defensive transition.
Su Yan was positioned at the right arc, facing Anthony's close and serious defense, with Stoudemire watching him intently from behind.
Stoudemire's eyes narrowed. "If you're playing seriously, then... three-pointers are prohibited!!!"
