Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

The Eastern All-Star team made substitution adjustments, replacing Pierce and Joe Johnson and replacing them with James and Wade.

The Western Conference All-Star team has not made any substitution adjustments and is still the same five players.

George Karl doesn't want to challenge the fans' intelligence.

If the expected results are not achieved after replacing Anthony and others, then he will have no way to end the game.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, George Karl did not make any substitution adjustments.

Back from the timeout, the Eastern Conference All-Stars attack.

Wade broke through with the ball and saw Durant's long arms always covering him. He passed the ball without attacking.

James received the pass and saw Sun Yi let him go. Without any hesitation, he jumped up and shot.

Sun Yi did not defend with all his strength, but only extended his arms to interfere.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!

After scoring the goal, James saw Sun Yi making a fast break and had no time to celebrate, so he immediately turned around and chased after him.

Duncan picked up the basketball on the ground, stepped out of the baseline, and served the ball.

After receiving the ball, Nash quickly dribbled forward and passed the ball after halftime.

Outside the right three-point line, Sun Yi received the pass and saw James stepping forward to defend. He had no good chance and waited for his teammates to run into the penalty area and take position.

On the other side, Duncan followed up from the left and quickly cut into the penalty area.

Sun Yi had quick eyes and quick hands and passed the ball accurately.

Deng Dadai received the pass comfortably, immediately took three steps, layup and scored the ball.

In the following games, the Eastern All-Stars relied on the personal abilities of Wade and James to score points and maintain a slim lead.

The Western Conference All-Stars relied on Nash and Sun Yi to attack in series, play teamwork, score frequently, and further narrow the point difference.

Just like that, the first half of the game ended. The score on the big screen was 74 to 70. The Eastern All-Stars led by 4 points entering the second half.

After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game officially began.

Eastern All-Star team lineup: Wade, James, Joe Johnson, Bosh, Howard.

Garnett was trying his best to make the playoffs for the team and did not continue to play. He stayed on the bench to recuperate his energy.

Western Conference All-Star lineup: Nash, Anthony, Sun Yi, Nowitzki, Stoudemire.

Duncan also considered the team and did not continue to play, while Nowitzki did not shirk. After all, this is his home court.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Western Conference All-Stars took the lead.

Nash dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, observed the position of his teammates, and prepared to deal the cards.

Sun Yi quickly ran to the low post area on the right side, leaning on Joe Johnson and reaching for the ball.

Upon seeing this, Lao Na immediately passed the ball over.

Sun Yi received the pass, shook his shoulders from side to side, and then turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Joe Johnson did not defend with all his strength and did not cause any interference to Sun Yi's shooting.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

74:72!

On the Western Conference All-Star bench, Kobe smiled and clapped his hands.

"This kid has learned well in secret and is ready to become a teacher." Naoji muttered jokingly.

In the commentary box, Barkley saw the scene on the court and joked: "If it weren't for the wrong number, I would have thought it was Kobe playing on the court."

On the court, Wade broke through and scored, assisting Bosh to hit a mid-range jumper.

Looking back, Nowitzki returned the goal and the Golden Rooster hit an independent jump shot.

Both sides scored frequently, and the scores kept rising.

After about 5 minutes of the third quarter, the head coaches of both teams made substitutions.

The Eastern All-Star team replaced Joe Johnson and Howard and replaced Rondo and Horford.

The Western Conference All-Stars replaced Nash, Sun Yi and Stoudemire and replaced Billups, Durant and Pau Gasol.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, George Karl once again helped his disciples brush up their data.

After substitutions and adjustments, the Eastern Conference All-Stars attack.

Rondo dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, waved to the inside, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

Horford quickly ran forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.

With the help of the screen, Rondo got rid of Billups' defense and broke into the three-point line.

Gasol quickly changed defense and delayed Rondo's breakthrough.

On the other side, Horford quickly went down after blocking, received Rondo's pass, rushed into the penalty area, saw Nowitzki rushing back to the basket, and passed the ball.

The unguarded Bosh received the pass and hit a mid-range jumper.

It was the Western Conference All-Star team's turn to attack. Billups dribbled to the top of the arc, took advantage of Rondo's inattention, and shot a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, James tried to hit the ball in return, but missed.

The Western Conference All-Stars protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

Anthony received the pass from Flounder, rushed into the penalty area, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

After the goal was scored, the Western Conference All-Stars evened the point difference.

In the next game, the two sides fought hard to separate each other, taking the lead alternately, and no one took advantage.

Just like that, at the end of the third quarter, the score on the big screen was 116 to 114, with the Eastern All-Stars leading by 2 points.

The score difference is not big and both sides have a chance to win.

The East and West All-Star Team's play ends here, and the two teams will fight with live ammunition in the fourth quarter.
Chapter completed!
