The substitutes of the two teams played for the last time in the early stage of the fourth quarter. Players who have not scored yet have to take advantage of this period to get two points. The last seven or eight minutes will be a battle between the main players of the two teams. If they don’t score, they will have no chance.

"Don't send me on the stage!" Emperor Wu murmured in his heart.

In the fourth quarter, if Van Gundy didn't change him to the first stage, he would definitely plan to let him play the last seven or eight minutes, otherwise he would be the same as in the first half and could only play the last two or three minutes, which would be a lot worse.

Van Gundy thought about it and soon decided to replace the three Celtics giants in the early stage of the final quarter. In his mind, Rondo's offense is not as good as Emperor Wu, and his support may not be stronger than Emperor Wu. Moreover, the Knicks point guard who is good at fast attack rhythm is more suitable for games like All-Stars, so it would be more appropriate to use Emperor Wu at the critical stage.

When Emperor Wu saw Rondo playing, he felt secretly happy. Now he knew that he would definitely be able to play the last half of the quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Eastern Conference lineup: Rondo, Wade, Pierce, Garnett, David Lee.

At the end of the quarter, Billups made a long shot from outside the three-point line for the first attack, launching a 7-0 counterattack from the Western Conference.

Rondo made a breakthrough layup to try to curb the Western Conference's offensive, but Billups made another three-point jump shot. Although Wade made a mid-range jump shot, the Western Conference still overtook the score with 122:120.

The rhythm of the game in the fourth quarter has indeed changed. The stalemate of the score has made the atmosphere of confrontation on the field become more and more intense. Billups has a star-shot and hits a three-pointer again. Wade then made a foul free throw to help the Eastern Conference not get rid of the score by his opponent.

At the 9th minute and 10th second, Zach Randolph of the Western Army finally opened the pot, and he saw David Lee turn around and hit it.

Randolph has already played in the regular season. Turning around, David Lee wanted to exchange it, but Rondo did not refute his face and passed the ball into the inside. However, neither David Lee nor Rondo expected that Duncan actually defended and covered David Lee's turn of the basket with one palm.

Parker received the basketball and scored a counterattack, and the Western Army led the Eastern Army by 5 points.

Van Gundy did not give New York center face and replaced him half a minute later, and Horford replaced David Lee on the court.

When Emperor Wu saw David Lee, who was emotionally lost, he patted him on the shoulder. He knew it was embarrassing to be replaced like this. However, this also reminded him that the last quarter could not be played as casually as the first three quarters, otherwise he would have been replaced like David Lee, and the media would not know how to mock him after the game.

Two minutes later, Van Gundy finally let Wu get up to warm up, with a score of 130:128. The three giants of the Celtics played the role. The three players from the same team were able to perform some complex tactics, but the West did not have this innate condition. If it weren't for Billups and Durant's touch, the Eastern Army had already surpassed the score.

A dead ball soon appeared on the court, and Van Gundy replaced Wu Huang and James in one breath. The lineup on the court became: Rondo, Wu Huang, James, Garnett, and Horford.

Emperor Wu was pushed to the position of shooting guard. This change of formation was unexpected, including Emperor Wu himself, but after looking at Kidd and Williams on the opposite side, it was easy to understand such a change of formation. Everyone has a double point guard lineup, and Emperor Wu theoretically would not suffer any losses.

After the game started again, Williams decisively played against Wu Huang with the ball, causing the latter to commit a defensive foul. The fat man seemed to want to use his advantage in tonnage to bully Wu Huang Huang.

Wu Huang naturally didn't fight with this fat man head-on. He gave the opponent a space to break through, and planned to use Garnett's excellent assisted defense to defend. Having said that, he had long wanted to cooperate with such an inside line with outstanding moving range and good assisted defense. In this way, he could be lazy and use his excellent coordinated defense ability to perform. But he did not expect that Garnett did not want to make up for the trouble in such a game. Williams scored twice in a row, and the score difference was widened to 6 points.

"Damn, I won't replace me too, right?" Wu Huang was shocked. Garnett didn't make up for his defense, and in the eyes of fans, he was asked by Williams. This kind of defense is as deceiving as Nash!

Van Gundy did frown off the court, but instead of replacing Wu Huang, he ordered Howard to prepare for a warm-up.

The fans may not be able to see it, but he can see that since Garnett doesn't want to exert force in such a game, he can just change it.

Wu Huang was exposed on the defensive end and also got a scoring opportunity on the offensive end. Rondo liked passing the ball more than him. After seeing Wu Huang running out of the gap like Lei Allen, he immediately passed the ball. Wu Huang took the ball and shot quickly and hit a three-pointer. Not only did he also get his 18th point.

One minute later, the Eastern Army replaced Garnett with Howard, and Horford was moved to the power forward position.

The Eastern Team's lineup looks more reasonable, and Wade's strength is unquestionable. As the core of the team, he is now stronger than Wu Huang. But in this lineup where anyone can be the core, Wu Huang's shooting ability is more suitable for the second position than Wade, which is also related to the opponent's double-point guard lineup. Besides, James' shooting is already enough, and with a three-pointer Wade, who is even more shy of three-pointers, the Eastern Team's offensive ability outside the three-point line is a bit unavailable.

It may be unfair to say this. James' three-pointers have been improving. In these two seasons, everyone can no longer say that his three-pointers are not accurate, at least they are the middle level of the league. Of course, they cannot be compared with sharpshooters like Wu Huang and Nash, but comparing them is unfair.

Emperor Wu quickly got a chance to get his phone out again, but this time Kidd changed his defense in time and did not give him another chance to take action at a free space.

The defensive consciousness of the old monster Kidd was not said that when Wu met Kidd in the regular season, he could clearly feel that the opponent did not put all his strength to defend. Such veterans rarely fought hard in the regular season, but when Kidd was occasionally serious, they could immediately make Wu feel uncomfortable. For example, this time, the old monster made a judgment in advance, stood in front of Wu, and did not give him the opportunity to shoot at an open position.

Wu Huang passed the ball, and Kidd and the Western Conference players were relieved. In this game, Wu Huang's three-pointer was 3 of 4 shots, which was as perverted as yesterday's three-point match. When Kidd remembered the terrifying performance of Wu Huang's 29 points yesterday, he dared not not defend his three-pointer seriously.

James received the pass without any hesitation and went directly outside the three-point line. The basketball was so fast that it hit the basket hard and bounced into the goal net!

A burst of cheers broke out in the Cowboys Stadium, and James' popularity was much higher in the stadium than Emperor Wu. At least no one booed him after he scored a goal.

After a brief stalemate between the two teams, the game quickly entered the last five minutes, and the coaches on both sides replaced their strongest lineups.

Eastern Conference lineup: Wu Huang, Wade, James, Bosh, Howard.

Western team: Billups, Deron, Anthony, Nowitzki, Stadmeier.

At this moment, Emperor Wu felt that the two defenders of the Western Conference were very annoying. No matter which one was stronger than him, he was at least two levels, which made him very passive on the defensive end, especially when defending alone, he had to help him with defense.

Fortunately, Bosh and Howard's footsteps were very good, and Wu Huang's position was cunning. Although in the eyes of fans, he was always broken through by his opponents, Billups and Williams did not have a good chance of making phones after the breakthrough. They had to pass Howard or Bosh's assisted defense.

This task is too difficult. Even if they can break through the assisted defense of inside players again, Wu Huang will come back from behind. Considering his long arms and height, the chance of being blocked is very high.

On the other hand, the attack of the Eastern Army was reopened after the three men came on the field. But it was not entirely due to the three men. It is also one of the important reasons why Emperor Wu no longer secretly throws the blame at the three men.

After entering the last five minutes of this game, Wu Huang no longer insisted on fighting with the three. The victory or defeat of the game is the key now. He is not allowed to do these small moves, otherwise no one of them will want to get the mvp if they lose the ball.

At the 4th minute and 40th second, Wu Huang made a wonderful pass from the ground, Boshcake beat Nowitzki to complete 2+1, Wade then stole Xiao Si, passed James back, and the gorilla made a heavy slap in both hands, and the Eastern Army's leading score quickly reached 5 points. It seemed that he was sure to win.

Billups of the Western Army stood up at this time, and Emperor Wu kept taking a big step back to prevent the opponent from breaking through. However, he didn't expect that Billups raised his hand and shot one step away from the three-point line, and the basketball was hollowed into the net.

"Damn. Why do I feel like I have become a soft persimmon?" Wu Huang was given a goal, and in the last quarter he was already almost ten minutes by Billups and Delon. The Western Army seemed to regard him as a black hole on the defensive end and as a soft persimmon for the Eastern Army.

This is of course. Although he has scored a lot of assists and scored a lot, compared to Wade, James and the other two inside players, Wu Huang is obviously the best point among the five players in the Eastern Conference. It would be strange if the Eastern Conference didn't insist on hitting him.

Billups had just scored a goal, and Deron came to bully Wu Huang again. These two men were purely using their physical advantages to play hard, while the rest of the Western Conference were responsible for opening the defense. If Howard and Bosh came to supplement Wu Huang's defense again, Nowitzki and Xiao Si would miss out. The two men's shooting range was not close, and once there was an open shot, it would be enough to shoot to death.

This time, Bosh was to help Wu Huang assist in defense. Nowitzki received a pass from the little fat man and made a jump shot from a low post. The Eastern Team equalized the score with this goal.

Seeing that Van Gundy saw that it was not good, he quickly called a timeout and re-arranged the defense from the outside.

He did not replace Emperor Wu, and Rondo was not a point guard with excellent confrontational ability. Van Gundy chose to trust Emperor Wu at this time.

When Emperor Wu saw the Eastern Army shouting a timeout, he was shocked. He also knew that he had become the opponent's breakthrough and was worried that he would be replaced. It would be a waste of time to play the whole game.

"Fortunately, the coach didn't replace me, but how do you defend these two fat guys?" Wu Huang felt distressed. Van Gundy had no good idea. This is not like the game in their respective teams. There is no team in the NBA that can attack with five players, so they can selectively let go of a player with poor offense and use double-teaming tactics to help one side attack strong and defend weak.

But in the All-Star Game, basically everyone is the core of the team, and everyone can attack with the ball. No matter which of the five Western teams is released, it will be enough to cause fatal consequences. Therefore, in this kind of game, everyone is single-defense, and at most inside players help the outside to help defend, but it is easy to give the opponent a chance to miss an open shot. Nowitzki's shooting just now is an example.

The Western Army did not change Nash to the field at the critical stage, and I think he was worried that he would become a breakthrough for the Eastern Army.

After the game started again, Wu Huang didn't know how to defend. Billups and Deron were not like Westbrook or Ross. The three-pointers of these two were very accurate. His special step to take a big step to defend was useless to these two people. Once he retreated, the others took action directly.

This kind of opponent is what Emperor Wu hates the most at this stage. If he weighs about 190 pounds, although his strength is still not as strong as these two, at least he will not be able to withstand it at all. Using the bonus of long arms and footsteps, at least he will not be as passive as he is now.

In the last 2 minutes and 01 seconds, Billups once again broke into Wu Huang, and pushed the latter's throw, and the basketball hit the rebound and bounced into the basket accurately.

The referee not only made a penalty for the goal, but also called Wu Huang for a defensive foul, two plus one.

Many fans at the scene laughed out loud. Emperor Wu was bullied in the fourth quarter. In the last five minutes, the Western Army launched almost every attack from him.

The score was 145:140, Bilups made a free throw, and the Western Conference led by 5 points.

"Calm down, the coach hasn't replaced me now because I still have a role on the offensive end. If my offense is affected by the defensive end, I will definitely be replaced." Wu Huang reminded himself to stay calm. He knew that he had not lost all the time. He had already scored 18 points and 18 assists, and was about to 20+20. This is why he can still stay on the court.

When the Eastern Conference attacked, neither James nor Wade received the serve. Now is not the time to take the lead. Emperor Wu understood this truth, and others also understood that victory is the most important thing now.

Billups defends Wu Huang. The key is not young anymore. His straight-line acceleration and explosive power have also had seven or eight successes at his peak, but his footwork flexibility is much worse than in previous seasons. This is most obvious on the defensive end. Wu Huang has been using emergency stops and directional changes to break through continuously, using his young knees and ankles to bully his opponents, and also broke through to the inside one-on-one.

Nowitzki and Xiaos' defense are much worse than the inside line in the East. Wu Huang can pass the ball or assist his teammates at this moment. He chose to score himself. His embarrassment on the defensive end needs to be offset by a wonderful goal. He chose to dunk this ball. Before Nowitzki and Xiaos returned to the basket, Wu Huang swung his arm and made a big windmill slam dunk, and let out a vent!

The Cowboys Arena heard a relatively obvious applause for the first time. He had a wonderful performance before, with only seven or eight thousand female fans and a few male fans cheering. Now, there are finally tens of thousands of people applauding him.

The audience on the scene could also see that Wu Huang was still not confused in such an unfavorable situation. With the booing of the audience, he could still get data close to 20+20. Few people in the entire league can do this. This mentality alone is worthy of admiration.

After the landing, Emperor Wu slapped his teammates to celebrate with his high fives. He may not be able to defend against his opponent now, but he can make up for all the mistakes he made on the offensive end. This is what he is going to do now.

The Eastern Conference players also dispelled some dissatisfaction with him because of this goal.

If Wu Huang did not contribute on the offensive end but kept dragging his legs on the defensive end, even if Van Gundy did not replace him, these players would have any objections to him. (To be continued.)
