I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 193 All-Star Game (3)

Eastern dugout.

Blatter: "The fourth quarter is about to start, you have dedicated a wonderful game, and then maybe you will slowly become tense!"

James wiped his sweat and stood up shaking his head, looking very excited. This is the beginning of a leader mobilizing everyone's emotions.

"Guys! We are going to make the game more competitive. Even if it is an exhibition game, I believe you are not willing to lose to the Western stars who have played against each other countless times. Let them see that we are stronger!"

James' words directly set the tone for the Eastern Stars' fourth quarter play.

But Kobe, the leader in the West, didn't care about these things at all, and others couldn't do anything for him, and the stupid Westbrook didn't stand up.

Needless to say, this group of people have played countless games, and they received a signal from James' defensive attitude on the first ball at the beginning.

The final moments of this year's All-Star Game came a little too quickly.

Both teams switched to their starting lineups, in order to show respect to players who received high votes.

Kobe held the ball, James lowered his center of gravity, and patted the ground hard with both hands.

Kobe instantly understood what James meant, and this was his way of showing respect for himself.

All the audience whistled and cheered, Kobe could only play the ball by himself.

But unfortunately, although the ball ended in the middle distance that Kobe is best at, he didn't make it.

Jiang Mu also started to get serious, mobilizing the offense on the field according to the normal organization.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, many things were clearly seen, and the importance of the defensive ability of the stars was reflected.

Although the two sides started to defend seriously, the hit rate was still very high.

After personnel adjustments between the two sides, Kobe Bryant asked to leave the field, and James Harden was replaced.

In the West, Anthony and Wade had no intention of playing more, and replaced Chris Bosh and Lowry of the host team.

West: Curry, Westbrook, Durant, Leonard, Harden.

Western Conference rotation: Chris Paul, Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Cousins.

East: Jiang Mu, Lowry, James, Paul George, Bosh.

Eastern rotation: DeRozan, Butler.

If there is no accident, the two sides will basically finish the game with the players on the field at this time in the fourth quarter.

The game in the fourth quarter was played for victory and defeat from the beginning, so reasonable distribution of ball rights and reasonable tactics took the lead.

In the east, Jiang Mu was pushed to the position of shooting guard, and it happened that he could also try the shooting guard's style of play after the position was extended.

The opportunity to play with the best teammates on the planet is also very rare.

Jiang Mu has become completely serious.

Although Lowry played as a point guard, Lowry didn't have the ball much, because Jiang Mu and James were both organizational, and their breakthrough level was obviously much stronger.

However, Jiang Mu also obviously felt that James held the ball for a long time, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to temporarily change his style of play, focusing on off the ball, ensuring that there was only one person on the court as the main point of holding the ball.

James is very pleased with Jiang Mu's transformation, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Off the court, Eastern Conference coach Blatter couldn't help nodding secretly: China Jiang's golf quotient is really high!If you get him to the Cavaliers to play shooting guard no!Let Kyrie (Owen) score, Jiang's organization is better!Then the Cavaliers have already booked the championship!

Responsible for defending Jiang Mu is Curry, who is also good at playing off the ball.

The Eastern Stars attacked, and James ate Leonard alone.

Jiang Mu saw that James' ball should not be easy to play, so he quickly started to move.

Sure enough, James didn't break into the inside but was still entangled by Leonard's death, but James, who had an outstanding overall situation, instantly found Jiang Mu who ran out of position, and passed the ball to Jiang Mu in the bottom corner without looking at anyone.

Jiang Mu hit a three-pointer!

157:160, the East chased another three-pointer.

James took the initiative to high five Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu: It's not my fault. The time to attack is running out and I can only shoot.

Of course, no one would blame Jiang Mu, after all, the ball was played very reasonably.

In the west, Durant entered the penalty area and passed it to the thick-browed brother Davis, who dunked and scored.

157: 162.

Jiang Mu knew that the players in the West had an advantage in height, and the interior was stronger, but at the same time, everyone could shoot three-pointers.

In the East, apart from himself, it seems that only Paul George's three-pointers are more reliable.

Judging from these three rounds, the West obviously wants to consciously play inside, thereby forcing the East to shrink. Curry and Durant on the outside are both three-point killers.

In desperation, the Eastern side can only rely on Bosh and James to guard the inside. Bosh's defense is average, and he suffers very badly when facing the thick eyebrow brother and the newly replaced Cousins.

James has great strength and good defense, but his height has become a flaw.

In desperation, the East had no choice but to send Drummond, who had no offensive ability in comparison with this lineup, for 3 minutes.

Jiang Mu found the opportunity to shrink quickly, and cooperated with James to steal Cousins ​​who was holding the ball inside, and then went straight to the frontcourt.

Facing Curry's defense, Jiang Mu leaped high and dunked directly.

Then Westbrook missed a mid-range shot, and James made another dunk against Curry in a fast break.

Curry's defense is actually not bad, but the defensive fast break can only be defended by Curry who is closest to the backcourt. The physical advantages of Jiang Mu and James immediately became obvious.

Cole replaced Curry, Chris Paul needs to go on the court to do a good job of organizing the battle, and at the same time cut off the fast break rhythm of the East in advance.

第四节第8分13秒，场上比分来到165:166，东部只落后1分了。

The game has officially entered the most anxious stage.

Few of the players are willing to face failure, and everyone's competitive spirit is fully aroused.

Jiang Mu's pure speed is more dominant, and he used his height to single-handedly catch Paul, but was stabbed by Paul's tricks. Fortunately, George has quick eyesight and quick hands to regain control of the ball.

But there was not much time to attack, and George broke through and stopped and fell back.

Good luck!

At 167:166, the East finally took a long-lost lead.

But then Westbrook directly received a free throw and launched a fast break. Under the physical confrontation, Jiang Mu did not stand firm, and Jiang Mu, who was already a little sideways, took advantage of the moment Westbrook received the ball to destroy the ball out of bounds.

Jiang Mu's single-defense defender ability was once again shown to everyone at this time.

At this time, it is difficult for the players on both sides who are best at breaking through to directly break into the inside line. The two teams, who obviously play small ball, directly use the ball to find the most suitable teammate for shooting.

After switching defenses, Chris Paul played big and hit a three-pointer against Bosh.

167:169, Paul stood up again at the critical moment.

"You organize it!"

James, who broke through the troubled situation, knew Jiang Mu's organizational ability. Jiang Mu, who showed James' great ability in the game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks, once again became a key figure in the Eastern All-Star team's backcourt.
