Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 324
"It's so fun, so cool!" Paul George said.

"Other dunks were good, very exciting, but obviously my dunk was liked by more fans. I am so happy. I rehearsed with my teammates. They are trustworthy and gave me great confidence to play."

Both Timberwolves have achieved something, especially Paul George, who had the MVP of the rookie game before, so they wanted to treat them, and Zhang Sixin followed the players to play for a while before going to the hotel.

On the third day of the All-Star Weekend, he will also appear, but the head coach of the All-Star Game is only a supporting role.

On the day of the All-Star Game, Zhang Sixin came much earlier than before, and he chatted casually with some players participating in the game.

In fact, in terms of lineup, the West has no decisive advantage in recent years.

The East may have a weaker bench lineup, but the home lineup can be said to be stronger than the West.

Rose, Wade, James, Anthony and Howard can be said to be a top match.

But in the West, Kobe and Durant are the real top scorers, but DeRozan, Love and Milicic feel that the offense is almost meaningless. Looking at the All-Star game of personal ability, the tactical value of Love is nothing.

However, there are players such as Paul, Westbrook, Griffin, Nowitzki on the bench in the West, and it feels very reliable.

Kobe, Durant, and Westbrook have always been typical examples of All-Stars working hard. They have won the Eastern Conference in history. Now that Zhang Sixin has brought the plug-in, the Western Conference must be more stable.

However, Curry did not come, and it was difficult for the other three Timberwolves to compete for the All-Star MVP, which is still a little regrettable.

Before the game, Zhang Sixin chatted with several All-Star activists and told them, "Let's win in the All-Star together."

As for those who are not active, let them play casually without affecting the overall situation.

After officially going to the locker room, Zhang Sixin smiled and said to everyone: "Our theme today is fluency."

"Score smoothly without wasting any time. We want to show the players how far the All-Star players can go offensively."

In the All-Star game, Zhang Sixin naturally couldn't come up with the Timberwolves' good tactics.

Because it is impossible for the All-Stars to cooperate in the pick-and-roll, Zhang Sixin chose to play fast.

After getting the rebound, counterattack quickly, pass the ball to the point where there is no defense, and quickly score points.

When there is no such opportunity, the players use their personal advantages to create opportunities. For many All-Star players, this kind of thing couldn't be easier.

The NBA is a competitive game where the offensive side has the upper hand. Regardless of the strength of the players on both sides, it will always be easier to get opportunities when attacking.

What Zhang Sixin did was to make the team's tactical execution better, so that he could play offensive basketball with fewer mistakes and faster, which is what he called smooth.

Very simple and practical tactics, easy to understand, Love can also properly use his long pass skills.

DeRozan can dunk quickly, which means that Milicic will not adapt to the rhythm, but it is difficult for Howard to keep up with others in the All-Stars. Milicic should not be depressed. It is the key for him to be selected. He has changed his destiny. As for how many caps he can come, it depends on the individual.

The head coach of the East is Spoelstra, and the brothers are competing on the All-Star stage again. Some media have paid attention to this, but both of them are relatively low-key.

After all, for the All-Stars, the main thing is to look at the players.

Of course, everyone will also give some small talk to their players appropriately. Like Spoelstra, James and Wade are already strong stars in the Eastern Conference, so they just praise them directly.

This is the normal mentality of the head coach. For example, Popovich is a minority in allowing his players to rest more in the All-Stars. It is probably because the Spurs players are not very suitable for the All-Stars.

Zhang Sixin's tricks can also be used in the All-Stars, so he is very relaxed.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe took the lead in scoring on behalf of the West.

Next, the West still scored, because the East started a little bit and didn't keep up, and it was Howard's inside dunk before opening.

Zhang Sixin watched the West completely suppress the East on the court, and had nothing to do, so he went to Spoelstra's side to chat and show off.

"Eric, we are sure to win, but you lost because of your hard work in coming to the All-Star Game." He joked.

"Go to hell." Spoelstra couldn't help but raised his middle finger contemptuously.

Love performed well this time, probably due to his experience. He has rebounds, assists, and points.

DeRozan also seized some scoring opportunities, only Milicic was a little helpless.

When Milicic hit a goal and blocked another shot, Zhang Sixin let him go down to rest.

In the first half, Zhang Sixin cut up everyone's playing time so that familiar teammates could play together.

Paul and Griffin came up to play all kinds of alley-oops, and then Westbrook and Durant desperately scored points together. They are better than the East in terms of scene and scoring.

However, a veteran like Nowitzki and an insider like Gasol still can't play.

In the second half, players who can't play well may play less time.

Zhang Sixin wants to win and has a wonderful game, because it is not difficult.

"Beautiful, young people in the west are really full of energy."

"Griffin's dunk is amazing, he should go to the dunk contest."

"Kobe is still so good, the boss has the hope of becoming the player with the most All-Star points in the history of the league."

"Durant doesn't give Kobe a lot of face, but he's really good offensively."

"The offense in the West is so smooth. Even if the All-Star defense is not tight, their efficiency is too high."

Under the devastating offensive of the west, the east quickly fell behind to double digits.

In the East, James and Wade performed fairly well, while the host, Howard, only scored 4 points in the entire first half.

Therefore, the big man inside is still at a disadvantage. You must know that Howard is not as introverted as Dayao.

The Western Conference scored more than 90 points in the first half, breaking the All-Star record.

During the intermission, Zhang Sixin said to the players very satisfied: "Our opponent is not the Eastern Conference. We are much stronger than them. We just need to present a wonderful basketball feast to the fans."

However, they lost 20+ in the first half, and the All-Stars in the East were also dull.

In the third quarter, they strengthened their defense, represented by James and Wade, and the East showed off.

The East actually still has strength, but the shooting was not so accurate in the first half.

In the third quarter, James hit consecutive three-pointers and began to be chased by the Eastern Conference.

Defensively, Wade even bleeds Kobe's nose.

But Kobe didn't care. He liked fierce confrontation. Not long after he was injured, he broke Jordan's All-Star scoring record, and he was very energetic.
