The basketball gods favored Curry.
35-29!
The head-to-head confrontation between Irving and Curry continues.There are 4 minutes and 26 seconds left in the first quarter.
Paul Millsap is a player in the 2006 class. He was ranked No.17 in the second round. The low-ranking pick affected this miniature power forward with a height of 203 cm and a weight of 113 kg. Be a star.
The outside world's evaluation failed to stop Paul Millsap's progress, and now this second-round player has already entered the All-Star lineup.However, due to Tyronn Lue's tactics, he did not get a chance to perform.
Irving is the No. [-] pick. Even if he plays poorly, countless fans and experts will think that he has a bright future, and his style of play is gorgeous enough. On the stage of the All-Stars, he has become the most shining star in the East.
Curry tried to stick to the defense and blocked Irving's breakthrough route.
Irving couldn't use the cover, dribbled the ball continuously, opened up a small space, and made strong shots against Curry's defense.
Among the active players, the only one who can compete with Curry in three-point ability is team guard Klay Thompson.
Owen is still halfway behind.
The basketball hit the front of the basket, rebounded quickly, wanted to break free, and flew into the air freely.
Paul Millsap caught the rebound of the basketball, blocked it with his right hand, and made a one-handed dunk!
35-31!
LaMarcus Aldridge scrambled for the rebound and almost became the background board for Paul Millsap's dunk. He quickly avoided Paul Millsap who was celebrating enthusiastically, and stepped out of the baseline to serve.
Curry dribbled the ball across half court at a slow speed, changed direction continuously at the top of the arc, and threw the basketball quickly against Irving's defense.
clang!
Strike it!
Paul Millsap scrambled for the defensive rebound, didn't hand it to Irving, and dribbled the ball across half court alone.
Russell Westbrook is one of the Thunder's twin stars. He has always been considered weaker than fellow team star Kevin Durant by the outside world. In addition, he was suppressed by Curry, who turned out to be in the same position, and has never been recognized.
Paul Millsap had the ball, and it was quickly in the hands of James Harden.
James Harden used to be teammates with Kevin Durant and Westbrook in the Thunder. In the 12 Finals, he fought against the Heat led by the Big Three.Not caring about personal data, the quarterback long passed to Westbrook, who was going down the frontcourt.
Westbrook is often ridiculed as a turtle. He is a point guard with exceptional physical fitness. He fully activated the right side of the frontcourt and contributed a ground-breaking tomahawk dunk!
37-31!
Tyronn Lu looked at the countdown and realized that the official timeout was coming, so he simply called out the timeout and took the initiative to make adjustments.
Steve Kerr called Xu Tian to his side and asked him if he wanted to play in the last few minutes of the first quarter.
After all, Xu Tian was still a rookie, full of desire for the All-Star stage, so naturally he would not refuse Steve Kerr's proposal.
After the timeout ended, Xu Tian and the substitute players played together.
The East team Isaiah Thomas replaced Irving and ended the confrontation with Curry.
Paul Millsap made a baseline serve to Celtics star Isaiah Thomas.
Thomas Jr. quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, faced Xu Tian's defense at the top of the arc, and bent over to dribble with a smile for singles.
Paul Millsap evaded the West player's view, slid down without the ball, right hand pointing skyward.
Isaiah Thomas took the hint and putt the ball with his left hand, making an empty catch with Paul Millsap.
Paul Millsap catches the ball with his right hand in the air and dunks with a straight arm!
37-33!
LaMarcus Aldridge hadn't won the ball yet, so he communicated with Xu Tian before serving, expressing his desire to play singles.
Xu Tian didn't respond to him.
LaMarcus Aldridge sent the ball, with uncertainty, running slowly toward the frontcourt.
Xu Tian moved laterally, attracting the defensive attention of the two Eastern teams, hitting the ground and passing the ball to the basket.
LaMarcus Aldridge leans on Pau Gasol, hits high, turns and fades away for a jumper.
Pau Gasol wasn't physically fit enough to contribute to the block and watch the basketball fall into the net.
39-33!
Isaiah Thomas was unable to cross the siege of Xu Tian, and Pau Gasol decisively scored the free throw line.
Kobe and Pau Gasol were teammates in the Lakers, and they reached the finals three times in 08-10 and won two consecutive championships.The friendship between the two is deep, far beyond that of ordinary teammates. Seeing Pau Gasol hold the ball, he encouraged him to shoot.
Pau Gasol heard Kobe's voice, an elegant smile appeared on his face, and he made a mid-range shot decisively.
LaMarcus Aldridge didn't expect that Pau Gasol would really shoot, and the defense was not timely enough to cause interference.
Spaniard Pau Gasol still has magical powers!
39-35!
Apart from his ball sense, Xu Tian's talent is his excellent basketball IQ.His natural leadership made him quickly make a pass judgment.
LaMarcus Aldridge caught the pass and posted up Pau Gasol in charge of the defense.
The star flavor and excitement of this group of matchups are far less than the duel between Irving and Curry, but it represents another essence of basketball, that is, plain and simple.
LaMarcus Aldridge turned again and made a fadeaway jumper.
The basketball arc is extremely high, hollow into the net!
41-35!
Pau Gasol likes classical music very much, has a kind of elegance in his bones, and is not jealous of LaMarcus Aldridge's strong response, and the two jokingly spray trash talk to each other.
The Air Canada Center Arena gradually returned to calm.
Isaiah Thomas crosses the ball to backcourt partner Kyle Lowry.
Xu Tian predicted the passing route, easily got the basketball, and charged forward.
The two backcourt players of the East team spread their pace and tried their best to chase and defend, but they only saw Xu Tian's taillights from a distance.
The drowsy fans in the Air Canada Center Arena got a boost from the windmill dunk and immediately regained their enthusiasm.
Tyronn Lu looked at Xu Tian, who opened his arms to accept the cheers from the fans, and suddenly thought of the figure throwing chalk in the Quicken Loans Center, and subconsciously called out "LeBron".
James knew that he was about to appear again, handed the towel to Irving, got up and walked to the sidelines.
Isaiah Thomas was short and was once again covered by Xu Tian, who took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to Kyle Lowry.
The small steel cannon Lowry has a solid body, forced a breakthrough against Westbrook, hit the ground near the free throw line, and gave it to Paul Millsap who slipped to the baseline.
Paul Millsap dodged Pau Gasol's defense, pulled up from the basket, and dunked with a straight arm with his right hand.
43-37!
LaMarcus Aldridge served to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball and counterattacked quickly, forcing Kyle Lowry, who was unable to retreat in time, to foul.
There was a dead ball on the court, and James made his debut again.
