74, injured(1/3)
Since the emperor has spoken, the head coach must listen.
The biggest skill as a head coach is to have a good relationship with the team's stars. To put it bluntly, it means being a good person!
Who knows whether he will coach James in the future?
An insignificant game, why offend the emperor?
Thibodeau wasn't angry either. He replaced Howard and Wade according to James' wishes and replaced them with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.
James, Ray Allen, Pierce, Joe Johnson, Bosh!
Three shooters, one Bosh who can shoot and take the blame!
Is that enough this time?
These are already the best shooting players on the Eastern Team!
If you ask me to look for the shooter again, I can't find him!
If that doesn't work, go to the Western Conference. They have the best shooters in the league, but you can only be the second in command...
This time James's expression softened a little.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Eastern team has changed players, but the Western team's lineup remains unchanged.
Popovich sat calmly on the sidelines, his meaning was obvious:
James is unhappy?
What does it have to do with me?
Since you have done well, let’s continue!
I want to see how strong Curry is in leading a team!
What will be the result of a confrontation with the Eastern Conference All-Stars?
Let me see what excuses James has if he loses this time!
…
After replacing two shooters, the Eastern team did have space on the court, and James' breakthrough was now useful.
We have four shooters to open up the space. You don’t dare to flank me now, do you?
Who would have thought that the Warriors' defensive approach has not changed much!
Kirilenko was guarding James alone, standing one step inside the three-point line and reaching out to cover James' shot. Lopez stood near the penalty area, ready to help defend at any time.
The Warriors have such a tacit understanding that they no longer need a coach’s reminder to deal with James.
Kirilenko's defense is not impenetrable, and it is not easy for James to break through easily.
Even when shooting, with Kirilenko's height, wingspan and reaction speed, James is not too easy!
But James wasn't afraid, he dribbled the ball quickly from his hip, and then changed direction and rushed in.
Kirilenko has rich defensive experience and is not slow. He stood in front of James one step ahead.
James dribbled the ball with his right hand, and pushed forward with his left hand protecting the ball. Kirilenko stumbled back.
The emperor's power is not something to be boasted about!
The humanoid tank is talking about James.
James is indeed good at dribbling and has very good skills, but he still can't compare with small guards.
But James' breakthrough is very good, why?
One of the main reasons is strength!
With great power and the Overlord Step, who can defend it?
I can't beat you in terms of speed, and I can't get away with technology, so why can't I just push you away?
Who gave us the gift of divine power?
If you have the ability, don’t fail!
Kirilenko is indeed weaker than James in terms of strength. The most important thing is that he is retreating and it is impossible to move if James pushes him.
Kirilenko tilted his body and lost his center of gravity. James rushed in without any hesitation.
Another person might hesitate: Will the referee call an offensive foul?
Not with James!
Why?
Because James never fouls!
We will also complain if there is a foul!
Needless to say, this is the All-Star Game. Referees generally do not blow their whistles. Even if it is the regular season or the playoffs, few referees would dare to blow the whistle if the first person in the league does so!
When James rushed to the penalty area, there was only Lopez in front of him.
Lopez was originally near the penalty area. When he saw James rushing in, he immediately stood in front of James.
Although he gave up his defender Bosh, Lopez didn't care.
The first key point in a game with James is not to let James score!
Not even assists!
If James passes the ball, his teammates will make up for it!
Lopez is very confident in this!
James also knew this, so he didn't pass the ball, but wanted to score himself.
James jumped up with a lunge, trying to get a dunk.
Lopez jumped up and stood in front of James.
If you want to dunk, you can just fly over me!
I'm not a little potato!
With a height of 2.16 meters and straight arms, no matter how high he jumps, no matter how good James bounces, it will be difficult for him to dunk in front of Lopez!
But James is not stupid, and he didn't really want to dunk.
You are tall, but your bounce is not as good as mine!
I'll take action when you fall!
If I can't dunk, I can always lay up!
Lopez is indeed much worse than James in terms of jumping.
Lopez fell to the ground, but James was still in the air!
As soon as Lopez fell, James used the strength of his waist and abdomen to pause in the air, then pulled the basketball back and turned it into an underhand layup.
Unexpectedly, Prince rushed over from the side at this moment, jumped up high and stretched out his palm to slap the basketball out of James' hand!
The essence of blocking is that someone in front blocks and someone behind blocks!
Front top and back cover!
With a center like Lopez blocking the front and shot-blocking masters like Prince and Kirilenko waiting behind, it will be very easy!
The basketball flew directly into the audience!
The entire audience burst into cheers!
Nice cover!
It’s James who covers it!
The Warriors work together so perfectly!
James hit the ground and ran to the referee immediately: "He hit! I was fouled! Are you blind? Blow the whistle!"
The referee shrugged and said: "I saw clearly, Prince didn't hit your hand!"
"He hit it!" James shouted: "Who am I? See who I am? How could I be blocked! You are blind!"
The referee was unmoved and blew his whistle to signal the game to continue.
Seeing that the referee ignored him, James had no choice but to return to the court.
It's still the Eastern team's ball rights.
There are 7 seconds left on the attack time.
James caught the ball and rushed to the basket again.
But this time James learned a lesson and passed the ball as soon as Lopez came to defend.
As soon as Bosh caught the ball, Lowry rushed over!
