Chapter 214 The deal is reached
The LeBron team used the primitive tactic of breaking the ball to chase points crazily, leaving Cole to sit on the sidelines and think hard, but after several rounds, they still couldn't solve the strategy.

The reason is that except for Durant and Green who can lock Harden and DeRozan, Thompson and Curry cannot block Tianyang and Lowry through single defense, and LeBron even breaks through and scores a layup by himself if he is not careful. .

After Curry and Thompson's shooting percentages dropped, Cole took the initiative to change his lineup and sent Westbrook and Gasol to play in the traditional lineup. Using the two pick-and-roll cooperation to score 6 points in a row and regain the lead.

Stevens then followed up and replaced Walker and Millsap to deal with it. After a few rounds, the two teams tied again.

The game then entered a stalemate. The two coaches fought frantically, experimented with 12 All-Star players, and sent out various lineups that could not be tested at ordinary times, which made the fans watching the game hooked.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the game entered the final official timeout.

The two teams tied 147-147.

TNT commentary.

O'Neal squinted his eyes slightly, with a dignified expression, "High-intensity defense coupled with high scoring can be regarded as one of the highest-level games in the NBA in the past 20 years. I am lucky to be able to witness every minute of this game with my own eyes."

Barkley sat upright, "I suggest that the league award the championship trophy to the winner of this game. It's so exciting. It's definitely more exciting than this year's finals."

Kenny nodded in agreement, "As of now, Westbrook has 39 points, Tianyang and Davis both have 45 points, and all three of them are expected to win the AMVP. The last 3 minutes of the game are destined to be recorded in NBA history."

During the chat between the three, the official timeout ended and the two teams continued.

Stevens re-appointed the full starting lineup, but Cole did not continue to use the Warriors 4-man team, but sent Westbrook, Butler, Leonard, Durant, and Giannis.

Obviously, Cole intends to use 4 strikers with super high defensive level to completely lock up the LeBron team.

The Curry team attacked first, and Westbrook caught the ball in the backcourt and quickly led it to the frontcourt.

Rushing beyond the three-point line and beckoning directly, Durant and Leonard went to the top of the arc to do high double blocks.

With the help of cover, Westbrook activated the berserk mode and rushed into the inside against LeBron.

Davis immediately moved laterally to intercept, one in front and one behind, forming a double-team with LeBron.

Giannis clapped his hands in the low position on the left side and asked for the ball. Westbrook may not see it or may not pass it, and continued to force a layup.

Davis and LeBron both took off, but Westbrook pulled the bar in the air, avoiding the two to block and score a layup.

LeBron exited the baseline and looked to the left, but the basketball was passed to the right, and Irving caught the ball quickly.

Butler chased after him, Leonard outflanked from the left, and Durant blocked in front.

Owen rushed to the right wing, hurriedly stopped to pass the ball, and if he hesitated even a little bit, he would be double-teamed by the three.

Tianyang received the ball at the top of the arc, but hadn't stood still yet. Leonard had already moved back to defend. Durant also stood outside the paint ahead of time, as if he was ready to intercept and break through for a layup at any time.

Tianyang pulled the ball back and waited for LeBron to run up to block Leonard before rushing to the free throw line to make a jump shot.

Hit, the two teams tied again.

Durant serves from the bottom line, Westbrook catches the ball and slowly brings it forward, goes to the top of the arc, and double blocks again at a high position.

LeBron came out to defend early, but Westbrook pulled the ball in the opposite direction, breaking through from the left and entering the inside.

This time, Giannis stopped Davis and the basket was wide open.

Westbrook started in three steps, gliding dunks, and there were 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

Davis served from the baseline, Irving received the ball and planned to rush forward quickly, but after Cole made a gesture from the sidelines, Westbrook suddenly turned around and pressed for it, and the attack was very fierce, not afraid of fouls at all.

At the last moment, the referee will not blow it easily. Irving is a little uncomfortable and wants to pass the ball, but almost everyone else is defended around the front, so he can only bite the bullet and continue to lead the frontcourt.

Fortunately, Tianyang ran back and bypassed Westbrook in front of him to cover, and Owen seized the opportunity to cross the half court.

Just beyond the three-point line, Butler caught up again, Irving slowed down with the ball, and signaled the audience to open.

The final moment was singled out, and the fans liked it so much, they stood up and applauded and cheered.

I thought, Irving dribbled the ball for 10 seconds, and finally made a pass inside.

Davis received the ball from the low post on the left and singled Giannis with his back.

In terms of height, Davis is a little shorter, but in terms of weight, Davis crushes Giannis at 114KG at 95KG.

Davis also understands this. He doesn't play any fancy moves, and makes continuous strong headers, crushing all the way to the basket.

Turned around for a layup, shot in the last 4 seconds, and scored 2 points.

Easy side Curry's team attacked, Westbrook followed suit and scored another 2 points.

Turning around, LeBron's team attacked, Irving dribbled the ball across half court, and passed it to Tianyang at the top of the arc.

Tianyang and DeRozan cooperated in the pick-and-roll on the right wing, got rid of Butler and easily broke into the inside, and made a mid-range shot.

The two teams tied at 1 in the last minute.

Westbrook scored 45 points, Tianyang scored 49 points, and Davis scored 47 points. The ownership of AMVP is still pending.

The Curry team attacked, and Westbrook dribbled the ball across the half, still using the high double block.

It's just three things, LeBron and DeRozan came out early, forcing Westbrook to pass the ball.

But Westbrook doesn't pass the ball, and others don't grab the ball. It seems that he is determined to help Westbrook to get the AMVP.

The two sides stalemate until the last 2 seconds of the offensive time, and Westbrook defended against DeRozan on the right wing.

Three-point shot, hit!38 seconds to the end of the game.

LeBron's team attacked, Irving dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, made a pick-and-roll with LeBron, rushed to the basket and made an emergency stop to score the ball. Davis on the right received the ball and turned forward, dunking with his left hand.

156 to 155, Team LeBron is 1 point behind.

In the last 25 seconds, Westbrook dribbled the ball across half court, gave up the high double block, and spent time holding the ball at the top of the arc.

Irving stepped forward to press, and Westbrook showed off his dribbling skills.

In the last 8 seconds, Owen had no choice but to foul.

Amidst the MVP chants from the audience, Westbrook stood at the free throw line.

First free throw!
Second free throw!
Davis jumped high and grabbed the ball in his arms, and Stevens called a timeout.

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, LeBron stood on the left sideline, and everyone else went to the left half.

The referee whistled, Tianyang, DeRozan, and Irving had no ball to cover, and Davis slipped to the basket.

LeBron passes the ball and Davis catches it for a dunk.

157 to 157 tied!With only the last 5 seconds left, Cole called a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Giannis served from the sideline, and the same three covered Westbrook, and everything went according to Cole's plan.

But as soon as Westbrook got the ball, LeBron burst out from the crowd and made a steal and passed directly to Tianyang.

Suddenly, the audience was dumbfounded, and the players on both sides reacted in a daze for half a second.

The Curry team double-teamed Tianyang with four players, leaving only one Giannis to chase and defend Davis who had already run to the basket.

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball! Pass the ball!" 2 fans shouted frantically.

But Tianyang first changed direction in front of his body and shook Durant away, then immediately turned around and dribbled the ball to get rid of Butler, then took a big stride and moved away from Leonard and Westbrook. Just three steps past the center line, he shot a super long three-pointer .

As soon as the basketball was released, the final whistle sounded, and all eyes were fixed on the basketball flying in the air.

"Shua!", hollow into the net, the audience was silent for a second, and various voices rang out like a tsunami.

In the end, Team LeBron defeated Team Curry 160-157, and Tianyang won the AMVP with a record-breaking 52 points!

……

On the night of the end of the National Star weekend, the first transaction occurred.

The Lakers sent Louis Williams to the Rockets for Corey Brewer and a future first-round pick.

Subsequently, WOJ broke the news that the Lakers' first-round pick from the Rockets will be used to trade Cousins.
