Chapter 226: At the All-Star Game, we still have to turn the tide?

More than 6 minutes into the first quarter, the coach replaced all the starting lineups.

This is the unspoken rule of the All-Star Game, which is to give substitute stars a certain amount of playing time.

Wang Yan only scored 2 points because he only took one shot.

He did have 3 assists though.

This means that Wang Yan did not exert much effort, but tried to let his teammates take more shots.

The score at this time was 18:12, with the Western All-Stars leading by 6 points.

James scored 5 points and made 2 assists, showing all his technical advantages.

Curry scored 3 points, Kobe scored 8 points, and Durant scored 2 points.

If the Western Conference All-Stars win today, then James and Kobe will both be the best candidates for MVP.

However, with Wang Yan around, most media and fans will bet on the Eastern Conference to win.

The odds offered by the bookmakers also show that the Eastern Conference has a smaller chance of winning.

After the first quarter, the Eastern Conference All-Stars were already 15 points behind.

The head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars is Spoelstra of the Heat, and he doesn't want to surrender in the first half.

So, at the beginning of the second quarter, he replaced Wang Yan.

Logically speaking, the lineup should still be on the bench during this period.

But there is no way, there is still a difference in the overall strength of stars from the East and the West.

If it weren't for Wang Yan, the West could easily beat the East.

Wang Yan led four substitutes, Hibbert, Paul George, DeRozan, and John Wall, to face the Western Conference substitutes.

The Western Conference's bench lineup is bearded Harden, Howard, Paul, Aldridge, and Nowitzki.

The second quarter began with the Eastern team attacking.

As soon as Wang Yan crossed half court, he moved sideways to a 45-degree angle, facing Aldridge, and threw a three-pointer!
The score behind is now quite large, and Wang Yan must use three-pointers to close the gap.

Swish!
It's too horrific!
Aldridge didn't let the game go. He knew that Wang Yan came up early to catch up.

So he was defending seriously just now.

But Wang Yan's lateral movement and attack were so fast that he found the opportunity to attack in the blink of an eye.

After scoring the goal, Aldridge smiled and shook his head, looking helpless.

The score difference narrowed to 12 points.

You have to be able to attack and defend, otherwise it will be useless.

The West's bench lineup attacks.

Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, wanting to make an alley-oop with Howard.

In the Clippers, Paul, Jordan Jr. and Griffin formed an alley-oop team, and the Clippers were called the City in the Sky.

This is the style of play that Paul is best at.

Not to mention Howard, who is known as the Beast.

He has amazing physical fitness and is a master in aerial relays.

Aldridge held off Wang Yan, Howard got rid of Hibbert, soared into the air, and prepared for an explosive alley-oop!

Paul has excellent passing skills and immediately threw the ball over.

Just when Howard was about to catch the ball, a figure suddenly appeared, snap!
He actually caught the ball before the Warcraft caught it!
Although Howard is a little weaker than his peak in 08, his jumping ability is still among the best in the league.

Who can get the ball out of his hands while it's in the air?

When Howard landed, he saw clearly that the person who snatched the ball from him was actually Wang Yan!

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Aldridge, thinking: What's wrong with you? Shouldn't you have stopped Wang Yan?

Ade spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

He had clearly held off Wang Yan just now, but Wang Yan was too agile. Despite his tall stature, he was like a loach and ran back, shaking Ade off.

In fact, among the inside players, Ade is considered to be quite fast, but in front of Wang Yan, he was played around like a wooden stake.

After Wang Yan grabbed the ball, without even a moment's pause, he made a long, accurate pass to Paul George.

Pao Jiao felt it was really comfortable to play basketball with Wang Yan.

Swish! Pickle George took the ball and started quickly, crossing half court.

Although Harden quickly returned to defense, Paul George was in good shape and passed Harden with a change of direction.

boom!
Flying dunk!

Get two more points!

The point difference returned to 10 points.

This time it was the turn of Western Conference head coach Mark Jackson to panic.

Although the Western Conference is still leading, Mark knows that Wang Yan is very powerful.

Wang Yan can not only score points himself, but he also supports the entire team on the defensive end, and his leadership ability is also top-notch.

Such a player is terrible!
Mark Jackson wanted to call a timeout, but there was less than a minute left in the game.

The All-Star Game needs to be entertaining, not intermittent.

So Mark had to hold it in for the time being and yelled twice on the sidelines.

The West All-Stars attack.

This time Harden held the ball and advanced.

As teammates of the Rockets, Howard and Harden have quite a lot of little tactics between them.

Harden made a signature dribble, passed Paul George and made his way into the penalty area.

Howard should have taken off, then Harden passed the ball and Howard dunked.

But Howard was traumatized by Wang Yan's destruction just now, so he didn't even try to intervene.

Seeing that Howard was not cooperating, Harden had to pass the ball to Aldridge.

As a shooting power forward, Ade plays in a traditional style. He likes to back up and make turnaround jump shots, which makes him unique in the league.

Wang Yan was pushing Ade from behind, and Ade shook his shoulders and made a fake move.

The moment he felt that Wang Yan had been deceived, he immediately turned around and made a jump shot!

With his height and shooting point, no one can defend him.

Whether he can get in or not depends on his own feel.

But today Wang Yan made him know what aerial interception is!

bass!
Wang Yan jumped back, but his right hand had already reached in front of Ade.

Snapped!
Wang Yan poked the ball with his finger.

Ade was shocked and waved his hands in the air a few times.

But Wang Yan had already passed the ball to his teammate Hibbert behind him.

Hibbert took the ball and passed it to John Wall.

Wall's speed is the fastest in the league, and only the Flash Wade at his peak can compare with him.

Whoosh!
Hibbert passed the ball to Wall, who ran across half court alone and made another slam dunk!
Neither Paul nor Harden are guards known for their speed, so they couldn't catch up at all and could only watch Wall score easily.

The score difference returned to single digits, 8 points!
Head coach Mark Jackson couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout immediately.

There was no way around it without a timeout. As soon as Wang Yan came on, the Western All-Stars team's offense became a problem.

Wang Yan and his teammates high-fived each other and bumped chests, looking very happy.

The All-Star Game is a feast for fans, and happiness should come first.

Wang Yan is not only the strongest player in the league, but also the best in stirring up the emotions of fans.

During the timeout, Wang Yan stood on the sidelines and actually took over the staff's work.

He threw some souvenirs, such as towels, T-shirts and other small gifts into the audience.

The fans at the scene shouted Wang Yan's name and jumped up and down with excitement.

After the timeout, the Western All-Stars replaced Paul and Griffin with Durant and Curry.

This is to increase projection.

We must score!

Fans are excited again because Curry and Durant are the two rising superstars in the Western Conference this season, and their popularity has surpassed James and Kobe.
