Chapter 1527 The All-Star Single-Game Assist Record Is Born

"Impressive third quarter. These 12 minutes are probably the most exciting I have seen in recent years. God, it ended so quickly!" Barkley made an exaggerated move to describe this quarter. What a great game.

"I have to say, you are right Charles. Compared with James' personal show in the first half, the West really joined the competition in the third quarter. They played more seriously and the scene was more exciting. Ji Feng's reverse dunk I am deeply impressed by the pull-up. I can guarantee that this is definitely an action that can only be seen in the All-Stars. And Dirk is as efficient as ever. If it is said that at the end of the first half, the MVP has been put into James' pocket, now he is at least Need to take half of it," Smith said.

Indeed, the third quarter belonged to the forward combination of Ji Feng and Dirk. The two cooperated very well and the effect was surprisingly good.

Dirk scored 12 points in the three quarters and already scored 28 points in the third quarter. Ji Feng was even more amazing, with 14 points in the three quarters but as many as 21 assists.

The 21 assists are just one step away from Magic Johnson's record of 22 assists in the 1984 All-Star Game.

If people could ignore Ji Feng in the first half, Ji Feng is undoubtedly the one who gets the most attention now.

Of course, James scored 8 points in a single quarter, 36 points in the third quarter is still a high score, and 8 assists are eye-catching enough, but as long as the Western Conference wins, these are meaningless.

If you bite too hard in the fourth quarter of the All-Star Game, fans will see these stars really fight.

Coincidentally, this was the case this time. In the third quarter, the Western Conference recovered an 11-point deficit. After three quarters, the two sides tied at 92-100. The Western Conference was only 8 points behind. So at this moment, everyone knew that the real difference was The game is coming.

On the Eastern Conference bench, Howard's face was sinking. He was the most frustrated person today.

James and Wade had the most fun playing in the East, and everyone else was also happy, because they were all here to fight, especially Pierce, Garnett and Rondo, the three Green Army tigers, outside the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The river they released is the water they released, so they are naturally happy and free, just let Lao Zhan fight for it, there is nothing wrong with winning by lying down.

But not Howard!

I still remember that at the beginning of the game, he was just as angry and positive as James, but as he continued to play, he became a jerk. So far, he has scored 4 points and 7 rebounds. Standard statistics, which is embarrassing. ah.

Of course, it's not his fault. This is also a common problem for all inside players. When your outside players don't pass the ball to you, you can only practice turning back.

What's more important is that the head coach of the Eastern Conference is Van Gundy. Originally, Van Gundy didn't want Howard to play for one more second. After all, in his opinion, 100 All-Stars are not as important as a championship. If it weren't for Howard's strong request, he would be Howard certainly won't be around for a long time.

It happened that he couldn't get the ball, so Van Gundy just stepped aside and simply benched Howard for a long time in the third quarter.

This made Howard even more angry!

Van Gundy glanced at Howard with a headache. To be honest, Howard has the ability, but his temperament is too immature. He has to say it a few times before he understands that the All-Stars are just here to play, and it is not that important. Before the game, he specifically found Howard. We had a detailed discussion and told him to minimize his playing time and recuperate for the playoffs.

However, Howard just didn't listen. Sometimes he really wanted to open his brain and put his own brain in!

But he can't...

In the last quarter, Van Gundy weighed it carefully and still had no choice to play Howard immediately!

No matter, just criticize, the playoffs are important anyway!

Van Gundy didn't expect that his decision would not only make Howard even more angry, but also make the situation on the court tilt toward the West!

West, Kidd, Nash, Anthony, Duncan, Stoudemire.

East, Wade, Rose, James, Bosh, Garnett.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the defensive intensity of both sides suddenly increased.

However, the Western team played better. The reason is simple. Just inside, Duncan and Stoudemire had the advantage.

Are Bosh and Garnett good?

Of course, they are both the best No. 4 positions in the league today, but they are the least suitable to partner with the inside.

There is no other reason than the incompatible styles. Neither of them can stand in the paint. Although Garnett is a first-class defender, he is at the 4th position. If you let him play at the 5th position, it is nondescript. The same is true for Bosh. .

Therefore, the inside line of these two partners became a loophole at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Kidd and Nash, two mature figures, almost came up to understand where the loopholes in the Eastern Conference's defense were.

On the first goal, Nash sent the ball to Stoudemire's arms, and a Suns iconic dunk continued to widen the point difference.

Here James assisted Wade to score a goal, and Kidd assisted Duncan for a half-shot basket to trick Bosh.

The Eastern team was obviously unable to beat them. Bosh and Garnett were bullied by Duncan and Stoudemire. Although Rose and Wade could break out, they couldn't shoot. However, Duncan and Stoudemire were very capable of protecting the frame, and Anthony was able to contain them. James makes it difficult for them to break in. They can't score, and they can't make a shot. They can only rely on James' hard work in isolation.

The backcourt organization ability of the Western Conference is too strong. Kidd and Nash are still very good at shooting. If one person organizes and the other acts as a turret, the game will not be too enjoyable.

Soon, the difference was only 2 points in 3 minutes!

Van Gundy quickly called a timeout. Although he didn't want to use Howard, he still wanted to win, otherwise James could kill him with his eyes.

Howard comes on, Garnett stays on the court, James, Wade plus Joe Johnson return as starters.

The Western Conference was so cool that they only replaced Anthony with Ji Feng.

"Let me go, these three bosses in the Western Conference are all top-notch assist players." Director Zhang couldn't help but said.

Ji Feng + Nash + Kidd, this is a bit of a dream combination.

What is even more dreamy is not only the combination, but also the cooperation. Ji Feng Nash and Kidd went on a fast break. Ji Feng experienced the feeling of being fed a piece of pie, catching the ball and dunking to tie the score at 112-112.

The two sides finally returned to the same starting line.

Next door, James received an assist from Wade and scored the ball with a stable jumper.

But then Ji Feng assisted Kidd to score a 3-pointer!

The West is overtaking!

More importantly, Ji Feng tied Johnson's single-game assist record!

"With 22 assists, after 26 years, the magician from Asia has tied the single-game assist record in the All-Star Game! One more time away, he will write new history!" The on-site director gave Ji Feng a close-up shot.

Ji Feng did not let this moment wait for too long. One minute later, the Eastern Conference once again took the lead by 2 points. Ji Feng moved spiritually into the paint and passed the ball hand to hand in front of Howard. Although Stoudemire was not as explosive as before after being injured, this time There is no reason why the ball that is fed into the mouth cannot be inserted!

Bang!

"23! The All-Star single-game assist record was born!"
