Chapter 211 Popovich vs Pat Riley
Popovich has stood up and told Nash to play slowly and take advantage of the inside.

As the players get serious, so does the coach.

There is no way, the opening game is 13:4, if there is no adjustment, the game will be spent.

Losing the All-Star game is nothing, but if it was slaughtered, then Popovich would not be able to hold his face.

Popovich's shouts also excited the fans.

Don't look at the West's lagging behind, but when they really fight together, their inside line is invincible.

Yao Ming + Duncan + Garnett, a desperate top three.

Nash's tactical execution is naturally top-notch. He steadily advanced to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan played against Carter and had an obvious advantage.

Duncan didn't make any fancy moves, and just turned around and squeezed past Carter.

This is pure body crushing.

After getting rid of Carter, Duncan rushed in with the ball.

But at this moment, Li Lei rushed over from the flank.

O'Neal guarded the basket, and Carter chased after him.

Three-sided attack!

Without giving Duncan any room to shoot, Duncan chose to quickly pass the ball to Garnett.

Just as Garnett got the ball, McGrady has already thrown it.

Garnett lowered his weight and sat down to dig in, but Li Lei's defense came again.

Garnett barely shot, or not.

Bang!

Yao Ming caught O'Neal, grabbed the offensive rebound, tricked O'Neal with a fake move, and released the basket.

Snapped!
A figure descended from the sky and slapped Yao Ming's shot.

Maddie!

His bloody big hat!
O'Neal got the ball, went straight to the fast break, rushed to the frontcourt in a few strides, and made a wonderful pass to Carter for an alley-oop dunk.

boom!
15: 4.

O'Neal is having fun, organizing fast breaks by himself, which he rarely played during the Lakers period.

When old fans saw this scene, they couldn't help thinking of O'Neal and Jordan's bullfight. New fans probably didn't know how flexible O'Neal was during the Magic period, and his ball-handling skills were comparable to point guards.

Seeing that the point difference reached double digits, the fans of the Eastern team were overjoyed, and the fans of the Western team were uncomfortable.

The three combinations of Yao Ming + Duncan + Garnett sound invincible, but in fact they are very ineffective.

Just these three big men, plus an O'Neal squeezed under the basket, there is still room for shots?

On the other hand, the East team, although they suffer from the inside, but through a group of strikers who quickly switched defenses, they did not suffer at all.

So basketball is not simply 1+1=2.

1+1 may be greater than 2 or less than 2.

Drip!

Popovich immediately called a timeout.

Yao Ming, Nash off, Marion, Ginobili on.

The lineup of the West team became:
Duncan, Garnett, Marion, Kobe, Ginobili.

This adjustment easily solved the problem of crowding at the basket and brought the Spurs duo together.

What?You said that Popovich used the public for personal gain?

Pat Riley didn't let Li Lei take the ball all the time, it's all a virtue.

If you have the ability, you can lead the team to win the leader position, and your coach can also coach the All-Star team.

If you have no skills, you can only watch other people's coaches for personal gain.

The game continues.

Ginobili served as the point guard of the Western team and directly lobbed the ball to Garnett.

Garnett is now facing Carter.

That's right, it's Carter again!
Duncan bullied him, and Garnett bullied him too.

Just as Garnett sank his weight, Li Lei rushed over again.

Garnett: "..."

You fucking, spare me.

I beg you.

So far in the game, Garnett has not scored 1 point.

Thinking about it, Garnett gave the ball away immediately.

Marion, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, received the ball and shot directly.

Swish!
Marion, who just debuted, hit a three-pointer for the Western team.

15: 7.

Eastern troops attack.

The ball is still in Li Lei's hands.

Defending him is Marion, the top defensive gate on the perimeter.

Li Lei tried, but failed to break through, and called O'Neill to come out for a pick-and-roll.

"Leo's pick-and-roll is the Heat's ace tactic, and no team has ever been able to defend it!"

Zhang Weiping, the commentator, instantly became excited.

O'Neal and Li Lei have a pick and roll, and they are as strong as Marion, and they can't squeeze or get around O'Neal's giant body.

The West can only choose to switch defenses.

Duncan switched to Li Lei.

When Li Lei saw Duncan, he accelerated without hesitation, and turned around to get rid of Duncan.

Duncan's defense is very strong, but his characteristic is the ability to protect the frame at the basket, and his defense is average.

After getting rid of Duncan, Li Lei accelerated for the second time and directly hit the unguarded basket.

Snapped!
At this moment, Garnett came and slapped Li Lei's shot.

Yao Ming went off the court, O'Neal went out to pick and roll, and the basket was extremely empty, which activated Garnett's defense ability.

Li Lei is a defense monster, and Garnett is a large defense monster.

"Roar!"

After landing, Garnett yelled at Li Lei: "Don't even think about scoring in front of me, don't even think about it! I'll freeze you!"

At the beginning of the game, Li Lei singled out Garnett consecutively, and then continued to help defend Garnett, which was quite targeted.

Not to mention that Jianet's personality is not good, even if he has a good temper, he will probably become popular.

Li Lei could understand Garnett's mood, so he smiled at Garnett.

Garnett: "..."

This time, Garnett's fire became even bigger.

Western troops attack.

Garnett continued to show his low-post ability, and the turnaround jumper after shaking his shoulders was unsolvable.

Carter's single defense, not to mention restrictions, can't give interference.

But just as Garnett "sat down", Li Lei came again.

"You TM..."

When I am a nightclub, come whenever I want?
Li Lei smiled at Garnett.

Garnett: "..."

Then he passed the ball again.

Marion catches the ball and McGrady pounces on him.

Marion passes to Kobe, and Wade makes up the defense.

Kobe stood up directly against Wade, and didn't treat the second-year Wade as a human being.

Swish!
With that, 15:9.

Wade's face was full of helplessness, if he grows 5cm taller...

After Popovich's substitutions, the West team played a wave of 5:0 offensive waves.

Drip!

Pat Riley immediately called a timeout.

Exit Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Wade, and enter Jr. O'Neal, Hill, and Iverson.

The lineups for both sides are:

East: O'Neal, Jr., Li Lei, Hill, Iverson.

West: Duncan, Garnett, Marion, Kobe, Ginobili.

Eastern troops attack.

Li Lei took the initiative to pass the ball to Iverson.

Cheers and whistles sounded instantly in the Pepsi Center arena.

Iverson vs Ginobili, consecutive butterflies pierced the flowers, and Iverson broke through from the right.

Yes, the whole world knows that Iverson will break through from the right, but he just can't prevent it.

Ginobili was wiped clean in an instant.

Marion rushed to defend.

Iverson made a wonderful pass on Li Lei.

Li Lei took the ball, and Garnett had already rushed over.

This guy is really eyeing Li Lei.

Li Lei didn't care, so he handed over to O'Neal.

Kobe defended Jermaine O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal pulled up and shot.

The height gap between the two is too big. Although Kobe fought hard, it didn't work.

Swish!
17: 9.

The East team has reopened.

Western troops attack.

Ginobili continues to lob to Garnett.

Garnett vs Jermaine O'Neal.

Li Lei didn't go to help defend this time, and watched the show silently.

With O'Neal's tonnage and running and jumping ability... Garnett chiseled twice and retreated from the paint to the three-point line.

And chisel and retreat.

Garnett's last shot was also a bang.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and went straight to Iverson.

Iverson and Li Lei made a two-line fast break.

Kobe desperately retreated to defend, defending one and defending two in the frontcourt.

Iverson against Kobe, a wonderful behind the pass.

Li Lei was about to take the ball, but Kobe had already rushed forward.

This defense!
It's Kobe!
Even in the All-Star Game, Kobe would play very seriously.

The fans chose you to enter the All-Star Game to watch you play. Kobe did not disappoint the fans.

He said long ago: Some fans may have to save a long time to go to a live game, so he can't let the fans down.

As long as he is on the stage for 1 minute, he will fight for 1 minute.

This attitude is also one of the reasons why Comey is crazy.

Li Lei didn't have a chance to make a call, but he didn't panic, and took advantage of his height to throw the ball over the basket.

Iverson flew into the sky, caught the ball in the air, and dunked directly!

boom!
19: 9!

Everything except height.

It's hard for you to imagine that the alley-oop dunk is the official 183cm, Iverson who is 177cm by visual inspection.

Li Lei remembered another sentence.

"You have to be thankful that Iverson is only 183cm. If he is 190cm, it will be everyone's nightmare!"

"Oh! Mai! Karma!"

The on-site commentary exploded immediately, and the roar seemed to destroy the microphone.

"Oh oh oh!"

The fans at the scene also jumped up, this game is too good to watch!

The game was really played from the beginning, with Popovich and Riley constantly lining up.

The players on both sides also cooperated in various ways, showing their talents to the fullest.
