Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 392 Intricate Relationships

"Brother, relax!"

Soon it was rotation time, and both sides had no intention of letting the main players play more and replaced each other with substitutes.

After all, there are fans watching the substitutes here.

George said something to Qi Tian and then walked onto the playing field.

"George! George!"

When George came on the stage, the fans' cheers immediately became louder.

Then Irving also appeared on the stage, which caused another round of cheers.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a show."

Qi Tian was sitting on a chair, bored, when Chandler next to him spoke.

Although he entered the substitute lineup, as a pure blue-collar player, his order of appearance was naturally behind many others. Fortunately, he had already known about it and comforted Qi Tianlai.

"Everyone has a tacit understanding."

"What tacit understanding?"

Qi Tian was a little curious and suddenly realized after listening to Chandler's answer.

The All-Star Game is essentially a weekend. Even if it is the main game, it may not allow everyone to give their best to make the fans happy.

Under this premise, everyone on the stage has a tacit understanding and will not let the game be easily extended, let alone let the entire game turn into garbage time.

"The real game will start in the fourth quarter, or even in the second half of the fourth quarter."

After Chandler finished explaining to Qi Tian out of boredom, he finally got the coach's signal and was ready to go on stage.

"Hey, fans want to see the stars, so let them see the stars. Isn't this the essence of the All-Stars?"

Qi Tian stood up, handed towels to Anthony and others who were leaving the field, and waited quietly for the game to continue.

In the first quarter of the game, the West led its opponent by 5 points with a score of 31-26.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Aldridge and Harden, who came off the bench, became the highlights. Ade continuously blocked shots for Noah, and Harden scored 5 points in a row, opening the point difference to 10 points.

George strengthened his defense and led the team to score consecutively, catching up with only 1 point.

"It's time!"

Spoelstra requested a substitution and replaced the outside starter.

"More moves later!"

Wade reminded Qi Tian and went to the backcourt to catch the ball.

"Walk!"

Wade just brought the ball to the front court and threw the basketball out. James ran in at the right time, jumped high to catch the basketball, and dunked heavily into the basket.

"bang!!!!"

The DJ's shouts immediately triggered cheers from the fans, who cheered for the Heat's iconic James connection.

The West was not to be outdone. Howard rushed to the basket, jumped up to receive Paul's pass, and easily completed the basket.

"45-46."

"Wonderful message!!"

The Western Conference has two dunkers in Griffin and Howard, and they are not losing to their opponents at all.

Howard took a deep look at Paul and turned back to his own half.

Gee, it would be great if the Lakers had such a point guard.

Unfortunately, Nash suffered too many injuries.

Although his eyes flashed very quickly, he was still seen clearly by Kobe who was sitting in the audience.

Kobe was furious at the time.

Ever since Howard came to the Lakers, Kobe has always disliked him.

A professional player who muddles along during training, an inside man who doesn't like pick-and-rolls and just wants the ball in low-posts, and a big man who always thinks about being funny, no matter what aspect, he reminds Kobe of his former partner.

But almost 10 years have passed since the break with O'Neal, and Kobe also reflected on his past self. He thought about communicating with Howard calmly, but who would have thought that the man would still say with a smile:

"I thought I came to the Lakers to be the boss!"

How can this not make Kobe hate Howard?

"*uc*!"

Kobe threw the towel in his hand to his feet, turned his head and looked to the other side.

Qi Tian ran quickly and got rid of Harden. Thinking about Wade's words, he rushed directly to the basket.

"You run pretty fast!"

Wade smiled slightly and threw the ball.

The two teams already had a tacit understanding, so the Western players turned to look in the direction of the basket, ready to admire it.

Qi Tian jumped up and caught the basketball. At this time, there was no one in front of him, so he could use it.

He took the ball with both arms in the air, swung it in a full circle clockwise, and dunked the basketball into the basket!

"It's time to buy!!"

Qi Tian's usual performance is somewhat polite. The fans did not expect that Qi Tian would deliver such an alley-oop dunk that was both beautiful and powerful, and they immediately screamed.

“So handsome!”

George took the lead, waving the towel in his hand, and celebrated with all the fans in the audience for a dunk that could definitely enter the top five.

“I’m my slut?!”

Hu Yingzhe was stunned in front of the TV, and shouted out a barrage of words, which immediately attracted the attention of Father Hu next to him.

"Why do you say bad words at such a young age?"

Hu Yingzhe didn't hear his voice at all. He waited for the TV to play back Qitian's dunk in time and shouted again:

“I’m a bully pen!!”

The atmosphere at the Toyota Center was already ignited, and the Western team also started to perform. Griffin and Howard scored consecutive dunks with assists from Paul, and Durant also sent a breakthrough dunk.

The Eastern Conference also ignited the enthusiasm of the fans with Wade's breakthrough dunk. At the end of the half, the Eastern Conference trailed its opponent by 4 points 65-69.

"Kevin is unstoppable!"

Durant scored 19 points in the half and 12 points in the second quarter, sending Durant fans into a frenzy.

Griffin and Westbrook also scored 12 points and 8 points respectively. Paul Kobe concentrated on assists, sending 9 and 7 assists respectively;

The Eastern side was led by Wade who scored 12 points, James and Anthony each scored 10 points, and Qi Tian scored 7 points.

Aldridge, Duncan and Garnett stood on the court and only grabbed rebounds and defended inside, but did not score any points.

"This is quite a seedling."

Duncan looked at Aldridge with admiration and was very satisfied.

There are not many people like Ade in the league right now.

The second half of the game started quickly. This time, the Eastern Conference took the lead. James Wade scored 12 points from the Eastern Conference and took the lead in one fell swoop.

"It's so strong."

As they were also rivals in the Eastern Conference, Qi Tian naturally paid special attention to James Wade and the three of them. Watching James Wade's offensive performance, he was filled with fear.

If they face each other again in the playoffs, how can the Pacers limit their opponents?

Regardless of Qi Tian's thoughts, Paul looked at his teammates and immediately had an idea. He assisted Howard to score consecutively, helping the West to cling to the score.

"Beware of point guards!"

Coach Spoelstra shouted anxiously from the audience.

Wade immediately chased after his good brother. Paul had no chance and could only pass to Howard outside the three-point line, preparing to run back and catch the ball.

But the Eastern Conference was well prepared and delayed Paul continuously without giving him a chance.

"Isn't this my chance?"

Howard rolled his eyes and took a long three-point shot directly outside the three-point line.

"What?"

Noah, standing under the basket, stared wide-eyed as he watched the basketball fly out.

"Whoosh!"

"89-91."

The West overtook the score!
