Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1035: It’s ruined, but it can’t be done (Part 2)

"Phew~ It's time to call it a day." After the first official timeout, Zuo Li and Rose were replaced by D'Antoni and sat on the bench. Zuo Li spread himself flat while wiping his sweat.

The next step is his own audience time. He has already discussed it with the German coach, and then he will just come up for a minute or two in each quarter.

Looking at the data, 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 6 minutes makes sense. It will not be a problem for Gou Yigou to score 20 points next, so the media can't find anything wrong.

"Let's see how Lao Zhan fights next."

Zuo Li looked at the big screen and thought happily. This feeling was very relaxing, unprecedented. He finally understood why some people didn't like being the boss. It was too stressful.

At this time, the Western Conference also made substitution adjustments. Although they lost by 10 points, they still replaced the inside players with Ade and Gasol, a pair of players who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time.

The external lines have not changed, and they will probably be adjusted again in a few minutes.

After Zuo Li and Rose left, the Eastern Conference replaced Howard and Curry, and the Heat trio formed the current lineup.

Curry felt good when he came up and hit a shot directly from beyond the three-point line.

These 5 points also put Kobe only 2 points away from Jordan's record.

Zuo Li still clocked in this quarter, scoring 6 points in 2 minutes. When he came on the court, the Eastern Conference was fastest in chasing points, but when he left, the Western Conference came back again.

That's right, so far, most of the points in the Eastern Conference tonight have been concentrated on Zuo Li and Lao Zhan. There are even people outside betting on who will score more points, Zuo Li or James.

Before Zuo Li could finish his thoughts here, an accident happened again over there.

At this time, the atmosphere was still very harmonious. Everyone was talking and laughing, and all kinds of sexy tricks were happening in an endless stream. Zuo Li was very happy to watch while drinking Gatorade.

And they are all all-stars. How good is the Eastern region?

Ahem, it’s no news that the All-Stars in the Western Conference are generally more valuable than those in the Eastern Conference during this period. In the Western Conference, Duncan and the like can’t even make the All-Stars.

But the fans don't care. It's too frustrating to lose like this, and it's not enjoyable.

Sure enough, he hit a three-pointer on Joe Johnson in isolation, and then actively pressed for steals and fast breaks.

A scream.

"ah!!!"

Zuo Li, who was on the bench, heard it.

However, the Heat's four-man team did not continue to widen the gap. Instead, due to several mistakes by Anthony, the Western Conference seized the opportunity and beat them 8-0.

However, the fans at the scene were obviously very dissatisfied. They were beaten by the Western Conference in front of their own homes. This was okay!

"This foul was a bit harsh. It made Kobe's nose bleed," Barkley said.

The referee stopped the game urgently, and Kobe returned to the sidelines to do some simple processing.

"It's broken." Zuo Li threw down the popcorn and stood up to look at the basket. Kobe held his nose and blood started to flow down instantly.

And this goal also allowed the West to officially tie the East.

This point difference basically declares that the Eastern Conference is on the losing end. Unless there is a miracle in the last quarter, they will not be able to catch up.

110-90, at the end of the third quarter, the point difference has widened to 20 points.

Over there, Kobe also made a breakthrough dunk, scoring his 8th point.

Zuo Li came on the court in the last two minutes of the quarter and made a three-pointer. The rest of the time, Zuo Li sat on the bench to cheer on his teammates.

So before the fourth quarter even started, there were already boos.

But the East was obviously stunned, because the West suddenly changed, the defense strengthened, and the East made mistakes one after another. At the end of the half, the West led 79-68 by 11 points.

Curry also kept Zuo Li's advice in mind. If he doesn't want to lose zero, he still has to be more proactive.

Westbrook was quite comfortable, dunking three-pointers, grabbing the frame, and interacting with the referee.

D'Antoni is also interesting enough. If the Heat want to play, they will have to wait for time.

With 45 seconds left in this quarter, Kobe turned around and passed Wade, preparing for a civilian hit. Wade, who had been passed, followed up from behind and pounced on Kobe with both hands covering his head and face.

The turning point came in the last minute or so of the first quarter. At this time, Westbrook had just come on as a substitute for Paul, and formed the second half of the Thunder with Adu, plus Nash, Kobe and Love, a small lineup.

In the Eastern Conference, there are four members of the Heat, plus one Joe Johnson.

"It's not necessary..." Zuo Li ate the popcorn brought by Curry, looking like a crowd. Anthony had 3 irons and 2 mistakes in a row. His emotions were really boiling, but this was an All-Star, this kind of foul.

That's a bit too much.

Especially the West, which was originally loose, seemed to have woken up early after these two consecutive fouls.

His goal tonight is also very simple. Before this game, he was still 18 points away from tying Jordan's All-Star scoring record, so he just prepared to score 20 points.

The shouting became louder and louder, and Zuo Li looked confused.

"Come on, you can get off work early." Zuo Li picked up his training clothes and prepared to put them on.

Curry's shoulder was bruised when he came off the bench. He finally realized the power of the combination of Kobe and Paul.

The Western Conference is not in a hurry. The first time is still long, and the second exhibition game is just an away game. At worst, if the score difference is too big, it will be over if they lose, so they just get off work early.

In the third quarter, James played 18 minutes in the first half and scored 20 points. He continued to lead the team in chasing points. Even Howard stopped joking and began to focus on pick-and-rolls for Lao Zhan.

However, the Western Conference has completely opened up. The two Thunder giants Westbrook and Durant teamed up to score 20 points in a short period of time. Then Kobe and Paul began to strangle the Eastern backcourt.

Sure enough, Curry didn't touch the ball in the next round. Wade directly dribbled the ball and started a pick-and-roll with James. James went inside and dunked to score the 12th point of the night.

The first quarter passed like this, 50-40, and the West trailed by 10 points.

In the second quarter, Kobe still stayed on the court with cotton stuffed in his nose. Everyone knew he wouldn't let it go.

Some fans even started shouting Zuo Li's name, because at this time many fans discovered that in addition to playing 6 minutes in the first quarter, Zuo Li only played 4 minutes in the second and third quarters combined!

But at this time, everyone could feel that the atmosphere on the court had changed.

"Wade was too anxious. This ball was unnecessary." Facing his two old teammates, O'Neal still told the truth.

However, in the second quarter, it only took 3 minutes for these ten points to disappear.

At 2 minutes and 12 seconds of the second quarter, Kobe broke through and completed two fouls plus one. At the free throw line, Kobe surpassed Jordan and became the All-Star scoring leader with 263 points.

After this back and forth, the Eastern Conference led by 15 points and the situation was great.

Fortunately, it's Westbrook. This guy has a straight heart. At most, he will attack you on the spot and he won't hold a grudge. If it were someone else...

However, just when Westbrook stole another steal and was about to complete a dunk, Anthony, who was a little anxious, pulled Westbrook down with a rough foul.

But at this time, Kobe's mind was not only on breaking records, what he wanted to do was win, and at the same time, compete with Wade.

What's going on, don't hurt me, I'm going to mess it up...

But the fans' ideas must still be respected. D'Antoni glanced at Zuo Li helplessly...

Zuo Li: "..."

Okay, it failed.
