As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

Zhou Ze smiled and patted McGrady on the shoulder. He said confidently and firmly, "Relax, man. No one can take your MVP away with me here!"

Maddie smiled and nodded, but soon realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this statement.

Just when McGrady was about to complain to Zhou Ze, "You entered the NBA in 05 and are a rookie this year, but I entered the NBA in 97."

Why do you sound so daddy when you talk?

The Eastern Conference All-Stars threw the ball inbounds, and after James received it, Zhou Ze, who was defending him, chose to retreat inside the three-point line.

Without exaggeration or understatement, when faced with an open position, James in the Cavaliers 1.0 era also dared to shoot, but in the "quasi-critical moment", James believed more in his own breakthrough.

The moment of life and death!

Regular time!

James dares to shoot, and the number of buzzer-beaters he has made is the best proof.

But in some "quasi-critical moments", James, who was not forced into a desperate situation, did not believe in his shooting.

Faced with the psychological warfare, Zhou Ze gave James a step, and the latter chose to force a breakthrough with an accelerated breakthrough, "bang!" As a defender, Zhou Ze could not take the initiative to exert force. When James' shoulder hit his chest, Zhou Ze stepped back slightly. When Zhou Ze reacted and was about to stick to him again, James had already rushed out.

"Ding!" James missed his layup due to interference from Tim Duncan's rim protection. Duncan, who was under the basket, stretched out his arms and grabbed the backboard with one hand.

Such an abnormal arm span and terrifying static talent made Zhou Ze very envious.

The Western Conference All-Stars launched a fast break, and McGrady, eager to score, chose to use his explosiveness and speed to force his way through Hamilton, who was defending him mismatched. Teammate Zhou Ze saw McGrady's enchanting calves.

No wonder McHale haters often joke about the "NBA Most Beautiful Calf Award."

McGrady passed Richardson, but not cleanly. Ben Wallace came over to assist and stole the ball. McGrady took the ball and forced a layup without passing it to Kevin Garnett. As a result, he missed the shot again.

Rasheed Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Eastern Conference All-Stars made another fast break. James once again demonstrated his historical fast break ability. Facing Kevin Garnett who returned to the basket in time, James got rid of Zhou Ze's entanglement, accelerated suddenly and rushed to the basket. After receiving the ball, he jumped up, held the ball with one hand, raised his hands to the sky, and put the ball into the basket across Garnett who raised his hands under the basket.

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

Defensive foul!

and-one!

James made the free throw!

115 to 115, with 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game, the two sides were tied.

At this moment, many Rockets fans at the scene couldn't help but hold their heads in their hands.

They really didn't expect that the Western Conference, which was leading by 21 points in the first half, was about to be overturned by the Eastern Conference All-Stars led by James.

"Give me the ball later." At this moment, Kobe, who had only taken 7 shots tonight, stood up.

Maddie nodded, seemingly without any objection.

McGrady's outside shooting was indeed poor tonight.

After McGrady dribbled the ball across half court, he passed it to Kobe outside the three-point line. Facing the defense of the masked man Hamilton, Kobe leaned over and started with a three-threat probing step. After noticing Ben Wallace who wanted to come over to assist in defense, Kobe made a sideways hesitation step. Hamilton immediately moved sideways, and Kobe took advantage of the situation and dived to pass him.

Ben Wallace showed strong assisting defense ability, rushing out from the side, Kobe in the air did a pull-up, changed hands and made a layup, and the basketball hit the backboard.

115 is better than 117!

Kobe's key shot allowed the Western Conference to regain the lead.

...

...

[118 to 117], with 58 seconds left in the game, Chauncey Billups faked a shot and passed the ball to Hamilton who was outside the three-point line with the help of a single screen. Although Kobe squeezed through the screen and rushed towards him in time, Richardson raised his arc and hit a three-pointer off the backboard.

[118 to 120], with 32 seconds left, McGrady assisted Zhou Ze to hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner against James' defense.

James looked helpless and spread his hands.

This ball was clearly blocked on Zhou Ze's face and the defense was perfect, but he still scored.

Such terrifying top-shooting ability left James helpless.

At the same time, McGrady, who assisted Zhou Ze in hitting a three-pointer, celebrated with Zhou Ze by chest-bumping, but was knocked to the ground. Kobe quickly helped McGrady up, smiled, patted his head, and said, "Dude, don't forget what I told you before the game!!!"

McGrady rubbed his chest and then remembered Kobe's instructions before the game, that he must not celebrate with Zhou Ze by bumping his chest. At the same time, McGrady subconsciously looked at Zhou Ze's compatriot Yao Ming on the bench.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's easier to get along with the gentle Yao Ming. Oh, I don't know how Kobe usually gets along with this rookie..."

120-120. With 19 seconds remaining, James, who had been slapped with a three-pointer by Zhou Ze on the previous possession, once again displayed his formidable penetration ability. After dribbling past Zhou Ze's first defense, he faced Duncan's second. Although his shot missed, the referee blew the whistle. Duncan, stunned, held his head in his hands, unable to understand why he had just committed a foul. Immediately afterwards, James made both free throws.

It was quite difficult to limit James in the 1.0 period. As the first line of defense, Zhou Ze, who could act as a "buffer wall" for James, was, after all, a No. 4 player and his lateral mobility was not as good as a No. 3 player. Although he could weaken James's impact, it was difficult to really hold him down.

What's more, the referee's call this time was a bit biased towards the Eastern Conference All-Star team.

There is suspicion of forced suspense.

...

...

There are only 8 seconds left in the game.

The Western Conference All-Stars first requested a timeout and passed the ball from the sideline. Garnett swung the ball with his long arm and passed it to McGrady who was cutting inside, but unfortunately he was stopped by James halfway.

Unable to break through James' defense, McGrady took a few steps back and pulled him to the three-point line with only 5 seconds left.

This attack must use up the time. Even if it fails, it will not give the Eastern Conference a chance to win.

McGrady dribbled the ball between his legs outside the three-point line with 4 seconds left.

3 seconds!

2 seconds!

McGrady suddenly made a powerful shot, took a step sideways, shot up with his legs, and took a three-pointer. James jumped up to block it.

This moment seems to overlap with the previous life.

McGrady's three-pointer was short.

air-ball!

Given McGrady's ability, it is absolutely impossible for him to miss all three shots.

James hit McGrady's arm, but the amplitude and force were not great. It was a critical moment of the game and there was no particularly obvious foul, so the referee did not need to call a foul.

Just when everyone thought the game was going to overtime, a man wearing a purple and gold jersey with the number 0 under the basket, under the bite of the two Wallaces, jumped on one foot. When he jumped into the air, his body was tilted, and his not-so-soft fingers deflected McGrady's three-point shot.

Almost at the same time, the red light on the timer came on.

The whistle for the end of the game also sounded.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The fans at the scene also stood up and looked at the field in surprise.

"Want to play overtime?"

"Maybe!"

"Zhou Ze's tip-in seemed to have exceeded the time limit!"

"No, it doesn't seem to me to be more than that!"

The fans who were watching the game at the scene and on TV all started talking about it.

Although the referee did not add the 2 points for Zhou Ze's tip-in, he watched the video replay on the sidelines.

On the court, McGrady was breathing heavily, and a nervous look was revealed in his hazy eyes.

"Don't worry, man. My tip-in just now definitely didn't exceed the time limit." Zhou Ze once again patted McGrady's shoulder like an older brother.

...

...

The scene just now was being replayed in slow motion on the screen above the stadium.

With 0.9 seconds left, Zhou Ze had already jumped up.

With 0.6 seconds left, Zhou Ze's ring finger and middle finger on his right hand touched the basketball.

With 0.1 seconds left, the basketball completely separated from Zhou Ze's fingers.

in other words...

The final blow is effective.

The scoreboard also added Zhou Ze's 2 points.

120 is better than 122!

McGrady missed three shots at the critical moment (James was suspected of fouling), but Zhou Ze turned the tide, suddenly jumped out from the crowd and completed a wonderful tip-in to win the game.
