By the end of the first half, the two sides had a 77-drawn draw, which means that this All-Star Game was another high-scoring game. In the last All-Star Game, it scored a high score of more than 150. Stephen scored 17 points, four rebounds and four assists in the first half, as well as a block and two steals. The scoring assists and steals were both first or tied for first place in the game.

During the intermission, Stephen met Kung Fu movie star Li Lianjie from mainland China. In fact, he came to New Orleans yesterday. After the dunk contest, the league held a "China Night" reception, but at that time Stephen had already made excuses and did not attend.

During the break, the league held a variety of events, but no one among the players put their attention on it. In the second half of the second quarter, both sides were already angry and were eager to compete in the second half.

"Let the young people play for a while in the second half. I will only play for two or three minutes symbolically. Leave more opportunities to them." Before Caresimo said anything, Duncan has taken the initiative to play to develop his style, hoping to reduce his playing time.

Indeed, the All-Star Game is no longer attractive to him, and his playing style is not suitable for performing on such a stage. He also saw the scene just now. He must have played very fiercely from the beginning of the second half, but he wanted to take advantage of the All-Star Game to have a good rest. It would be better to give up the opportunity and let those players who want to perform more on the court.

"Well, I want to rest more, so let the young people play more." Steve Nash also stood up and carried forward his style. He did not pay much attention to the All-Star Game. After all, after winning the most valuable player in the regular season, he had nothing to pursue for his personal achievements. What he needs most now is the proof of the team's performance. He was blocked from the finals for a long time. Not only did the fans and management gradually lose patience, but he himself also lost patience.

Moreover, in the position of point guard, there is Allen Iverson in front and Chris Paul behind. He does not have many opportunities, and his ability cannot be played out on this occasion, so Nash took the initiative to give in and give time to those who need it more. Although Iverson didn't say it, he made up his mind and took the initiative to leave the court and rest the day before.

They can say this, but others can't say this. One is because of qualifications and age. Secondly, no one is willing to give up this opportunity. Seeing that no one is willing to give up the opportunity, Stephen clapped his hands and stood up, and said to everyone: "Okay, no matter who goes up and down, we must play well. We must win this game and not let the guys in the East succeed."

"Is that so? You want to get the most valuable player." Carmelo Anthony said coldly below, his face full of sneering expressions. If others jumped out and said this, he wouldn't be so angry. Like Stephen, it was only the third season after entering the league. Just jumped out to be a leader, is he despised himself as if nothing had happened?

In the Western Conference All-Star team, except Chris Paul or Brandon Roy, everyone else is older than Stephen. There is no reason to jump out and say this, but Stephen stood up like this, because in the current Western Conference All-Star team, he does not think anyone is much better than himself.

And in this case, Yao Ming, Nowitzki, and Boozer would not say that unless the few who don’t want to play, there are only Stephen, Anthony, and Stedemeier who will take the lead. In the past, this role was O’Neal. After O’Neal left, Kobe took over this role. However, Kobe was not here in this All-Star Game, and the Western Conference All-Star team lacked someone who could take the initiative to stand up.

Iverson has this qualification, but he does not have the mood. Among the other people, Stedemier has Steve Nash here, so it is impossible for him to stand up as the boss. Although Anthony himself does not have this idea, he is a little dissatisfied with Stephen's presence.

In his opinion, if Stephen has this qualification, he will be even more qualified. Although Stephen's performance this season can be called "the first person in the league", a player who has entered the All-Star for the first time and has just gotten rid of his rookie status does not have the qualification to be a leader.

The snake cannot do without a head, and the same is true for a team. Even if some teams do not have obvious bosses or hidden bosses, whether a team can unite and strive forward has a lot to do with whether there is a qualified locker room boss. On the court, a role that can drive everyone is also needed.

He can be low-key, he can be unspeakable, but he must work hard and be tough enough, and not give up his desire for victory when he is in adversity. Even a temporary team like the All-Star team needs such a role unless everyone doesn't care about victory, and just go up to Xiuxiu and feel satisfied.

But who doesn't want to win? Unless it's a person who really doesn't have a sense of honor, but this kind of person can't be among the All-Stars. Anthony doesn't have the courage and confidence to stand up, but when he saw Stephen stand up, he was a little dissatisfied. For this kind of person, Stephen said to him without hesitation: "Is that right? If you don't want to take it, you can't go on the court. If you want it, you have to win to win. If you want it, play hard. This is not the Denver Nuggets. Everything depends on your ability, do you know?"

"As long as some people don't keep dominating the ball, there's no problem." How could Anthony show weakness at this moment? Besides, he doesn't think Stephen is much better than him. Although Stephen's average score is far higher than him, in his opinion, that's why Stephen has unlimited shots. If he were to himself, he wouldn't be much worse than him.

But what he didn't notice was that even at this time, he just thought he was no less worse than Stephen, and would never think about how much better than Stephen. This was a huge improvement.

"No problem, let Allen take possession." Stephen didn't care about this, nor did he think about getting this most valuable player. Among all the most valuable players, this should be the least technical. He just doesn't want to fail, doesn't want the Eastern Conference All-Star team to get it, and he doesn't want to see LeBron James get this honor again.

"I can't play for a long time, and I'm not in good health. I want to rest more in the second half." Seeing Stephen getting involved, Allen Iverson didn't plan to play more, and when he encountered such a thing, he was even more reluctant to get involved. If he handed over the ball to himself, no matter what he did, it would arouse doubts from others, especially when he and Carmelo Anthony were still teammates, so he directly expressed his attitude.

"Then Chris Paul is here. As the host, it is worth helping him win this award. When evaluating, it is not just about who scores more points, and there is no problem with more assists." Stephen didn't even look at it, and directly pointed out the candidates.

Chris Paul has nothing to do with both of them, so naturally he won't worry about who he will favor. Although Stephen is a player of the same year as Chris Paul, he has never heard of any relationship between them. Stephen snatched the best rookie whom he could win.

No matter who the most valuable player is, it is not just about scoring, but about who makes greater contributions. This contribution can be scores, assists or rebounds and other data. At the same time, as the only representative of the host team, Chris Paul should help him win this award.

Anthony is not easy to say anything about this, although he also wants to get this most valuable player. In the competition with LeBron James, he is already lagging behind more and more, so he also attaches great importance to this tiny bargaining chip.

Others had no objection to this decision. There was only one Most Valuable Player. Most people never thought about this award. It would be good to show their faces in the All-Star Game. Seeing the players made the decision, Caresimo stood up with a smile.

Caresimo saw Stephen's actions and later handling, and was pleased. Faced with Anthony's doubts, Stephen did not choose to fight directly, but further eased the situation, which in his opinion was a very wise decision.

It was indeed a bit sudden for Stephen to jump out first. Although only Anthony stood up and questioned it, it did not mean that no one else had the same idea as Anthony. It was just that different personalities, status, and relationships were different, and the choices made by each person were different.

In this team, Stephen has old teammates like Duncan, teammates of the national team, and support from his own coach. He is indeed a little stronger in terms of interpersonal scope than others, but no one stands up to oppose him again, which does not mean that he is willing to cooperate with him on the court. Instead of waiting for them to come on the court and then disagree, it is better to break this problem now.

Sure enough, it was decided that each person would compete for this award based on his strength and to try his best to help Chris Paul win this award, or it was not completely conflicting. Although there was only one award, Chris Paul needed to get assists, and what others wanted was score. Whoever the final selection result was depends on God's will.

But in this way, at least everyone has a goal, that is, to try their best to win the competition, and then talk about other issues. Chris Paul did not say this award because of Stephen, but he would work harder to win it.

Calesimo still decided that the starters would still play in the second half, but he would soon replace Duncan and Iverson, but Stephen said that he wanted to play later and could let Brandon Roy play for him first. He still trusted Roy's ability.

I was really unlucky today. I accidentally lost my glasses. I had no glasses at once. I don’t know how to write. I had myopia of more than 500 degrees and had no glasses at once. I had to lie on the monitor to write. I was so tired that I burst into tears. Chapter 2 Updates, if I can persist, I will have it. If I can’t persist, I will go to rest. I will wear glasses tomorrow.

Please collect and red tickets to comfort.
