The Fifth Point Guard

As the flag of Philadelphia, coupled with competitors in the same position, or the enemy of last year's finals, Iverson will never allow Kobe to perform so heartily in Philadelphia.

At the beginning of the second half, Iverson disrupted the West's offense twice in a row, stealing layups and assists.

Iverson's attitude infected his teammates.

Jordan took the lead in making a statement and made a long shot, which sounded the horn of the eastern counterattack.

Vince Carter also grabbed the long pass from the West twice in a row, assisting Hill to make consecutive long shots.

The Eastern team played a 20-8 climax in the first half of the third quarter, narrowing the score gap to 5 points in one fell swoop.

But the West began to fight back in the second half.

Garnett received Payton's one-handed alley-oop dunk, which is the shining point in the western part of this section.

At that time, Payton quickly advanced after completing the steal and threw the ball high when the Eastern team was under the basket. Garnett followed up and pushed the ball in with one hand, which caused cheers.

But the brightest moment in the third quarter belongs to Shentong.

At 6 minutes into the third quarter, Shen Tong replaced Jordan.

Shortly after playing, facing Kobe's defense, Shen used Jordan to point his back to make a fadeaway jumper to complete the shot.

With McGrady's back-and-back skill book and Jordan's guidance, Shentong's scoring technique has become more mature.

As Jordan pointed out, Kobe, who was not shaken by Shentong's fake action, tried his best to block the shot.

Under this suffocating defense, Shen Tong followed Jordan's pre-match guidance, raised his shooting arm, raised his release point high, avoided Kobe's block, and shot the ball.

As a result, Kobe's finger touched Shentong's arm, and the referee whistled for a foul. At the same time, Shentong scored the ball!

The double flat in the live room on CCTV immediately turned into double shock!

Sun Zhengping said excitedly: "This shot is beautiful! Shentong scored 2+1 against Kobe. This shot is quite difficult."

Zhang Weiping was also excited, and then said: "Kobe's defense is really tight, but Shen Tong's jump is really high, and the backward move he used against Jordan before the game was really used. This ball is getting more and more interesting. what!"

When he saw Shentong hit the ball and was called a foul by the referee, Kobe clapped his hands angrily, shook his head and looked at the big screen.

Jordan, who was sitting on the bench, stood up and applauded Shen Tong's goal. He kept making movements with his hands and said to the people around him: "I taught him this ball. I taught him. He did it." It’s not bad, but there’s still room for improvement.”

This is not over. At the end of the third quarter, the Eastern team completed the steal. Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, followed by Shentong. At this time, no player from the Western team returned to defense.

Seeing this, Iverson looked back at the moon with one move, and passed the ball back to Shentong.

After catching the pass, Shentong took off with the inertia of running, grabbed the ball with one hand, rotated 360° in the air, and completed a one-handed dunk!

This dunk immediately brought the atmosphere of the audience to a climax!

The bench in the Eastern Conference was in chaos. Jordan and Hill laughed and snuggled together, and Baron Davis, who liked to play tricks, rolled directly from his seat to the floor in excitement.

Sun Zhengping said in pleasant surprise: "Damn it, jumping so fucking high."

"Ahem." Zhang Weiping quickly signaled the other party to pay attention to the impact of the live broadcast.

Sun Zhengping immediately regained his composure, and said, "Shentong just contributed a 360-degree dunk with a flat basket. The difficulty of this dunk is quite high. I'm afraid it's no worse than Jason Richardson's dunk, who won the dunk title this year."

Zhang Weiping said, "Look, he looks like Kobe from that year."

Sun Zhengping said: "How to say?"

Zhang Weiping said: "When Kobe Bryant participated in the All-Star Game in 1998, he also staged a one-handed dunk in the air during the game."

Sun Zhengping said: "Director Zhang remembers Kobe very clearly. As a Chinese player, Shen Tong's physical fitness is indeed top-notch. This is his 11th point in this game, which has already reached double digits."

Just as everyone lamented Shen Tong's wonderful dunk just now, Duncan, who was sitting on the bench, complained to the referee standing nearby.

Duncan said: "Referee, the bench on the opposite side is rolling, isn't this a T?"

The referee turned his head and replied indifferently: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Duncan shifted his gaze, retracted his head, and resumed his blank expression.

At the end of the third quarter, the Western team still leads the Eastern team by 10 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pierce scored two consecutive shots and Iverson also succeeded in two consecutive offenses. The East played a 12-0 climax and overtook the score in one fell swoop. There is a great tendency to repeat last year's comeback.

At the critical moment, "Glove" Payton stepped forward, hit a three-pointer, overtook the score again, and stabilized his position.

After that, the two teams launched a three-point battle, and hit 4 consecutive three-pointers in less than 1 minute.

But it is a pity that this year's three-pointer Wang Shentong did not join the long-range shooting battle. In fact, in the fourth quarter, Byron Scott did not even give Shentong another 1 minute of playing time.

At the last moment, Nash and Peja each hit a three-pointer, and the West opened the score.

Although the East tried its best to catch up, it could not recover the defeat.

135-120, the West had the last laugh.

Kobe Bryant won the undisputed MVP of this All-Star Game by scoring 31 points.

Under Byron Scott, Shen Tong and Kidd didn't get much playing time.

Shentong played only 15 minutes in total, scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Kidd played 19 minutes and scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

It seems that Scott still hopes that his disciples can devote more energy to the next game.

After all, after the All-Star Game, every team has to start working hard to compete for a ticket to the playoffs!

Although Shen Tong didn't play much time, his outstanding performance still made people's eyes shine, especially the wonderful turning dunk mentioned by Zhang Weiping's director, which was very similar to the one Kobe dunked in the 1998 All-Star Game. The fans talked about it after the game.

However, some people still questioned Shentong's performance in this game, and that person turned out to be Charles Barkley, who has been playing the game recently.

In addition to CCTV, TNT also made a live broadcast of the All-Star Game.

When summing up after the game, Barkley specifically commented on Shentong.

"I think everyone should not be too optimistic about him. Shentong still has one of the most serious weaknesses. I have discovered it! I have observed that he has not improved since he entered the NBA from the NCAA. So it affects his career, that is, the celebration after scoring is too ugly!"

Kenny Smith, who was startled by Barkley's initial words, lifted the chair Barkley was sitting on after hearing the last sentence.
