The Pope of Basketball Community

Stars are chosen by fans, no matter what lineup makes sense. The purpose of the All-Stars is to entertain fans and earn enough attention. After all, the NBA is a professional league that bases everything on reality.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the league even revised the All-Star rules in 2012, eliminating the center position, and there were no big men left. But in the future, the selection of the best team will not eliminate the center position, which is no longer a performance. It depends on popularity but also on strength.

When Hill and Duncan faced off, they had no choice but to accept bad luck.

During the Eastern Conference's offense, Iverson went to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Mourning. He lowered his body to the basket, easily passed O'Neal, and got rid of Kidd.

How fast could Iverson be at his peak? Someone commented that when he went on a fast break, he was in the camera one second and ran out the next! O'Neal has always been annoyed by his type of defenders. Big men are difficult to defend when they are misplaced.

Attracting Duncan to cover up, Iverson threw the ball into the air. Hill took off from the left and dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 4.

Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe. If he kept passing it to Duncan, he might continue to score goals, but the fans were not there to watch Duncan hit the boards. Can that thing be called an All-Star Game? Many team practice games are better than this.

Kobe was facing off against Tracy McGrady, and no one came up to cover him. They were probably afraid that he would say, "Put away your damn pick-and-roll. I'm going to duel with my friend."

These two are really good friends.

In Yang Rui's previous life, before 2003, Kobe often invited Tracy McGrady to train with him in Los Angeles. Perhaps because both of them were high school players, there was an inseparable connection between them. During the All-Star Game in Houston, Kobe created opportunities for McGrady throughout the game, but he only scored 8 points.

Later, Kobe revealed that he had trained with Tracy McGrady in Germany when he was 20 years old. He also said rather unkindly that he defeated Tracy McGrady in a one-on-one match at that time, and was then scoffed and ridiculed by Tracy McGrady.

The incident in Germany further proves their relationship! Because of Kobe's character, he needs to maintain a good image in public and never mention that others were beaten by him at a certain moment. ?

Anyone who can mention it like this must be at the level of best friends, just like ordinary people will calmly ridicule their best friends as idiots and fools in public, but they will remain polite to people they don't know well. ?

It's not a good idea to single out friends who know everything about you in an all-star game. Kobe couldn't break through with the ball in front of the frame, so he leaned against McGrady with his back, and his 50-degree turn jumper from the right side missed due to interference.

Mourning grabbed the rebound and passed it to Iverson, who quickly broke in.

The change of direction passed Kidd, attracting Garnett to cover up, and the ball was thrown into the sky again.

The person who flew up this time was Carter, who caught the ball and scored with a right-hand dunk. 4 to 4.

The fans applauded enthusiastically. They couldn't get enough of Carter's dunk. It was the most anticipated scene tonight.

The West attacked and the ball was passed to "Shark" O'Neal. When he turned around in the middle, Mourning cut the ball off with a palm and passed it to McGrady nearby. McGrady made a long pass to Carter, leaving the frontcourt empty.

Carter made a solo fast break in the middle, took off one step from the free throw line, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 6 to 4.

Countless fans on the sidelines held their heads and leaned back together. Many held their scoreboards high and collectively gave 10 points.

Zhang Lili shouted: "Carter obviously didn't enjoy dunking yesterday. Although the ball passed the line with his feet, he dunked with both hands and he had already left the surface of the earth!"

Sun Zhengping lamented: "The talent is so terrifying, he plays the ball completely on the fly."

When the Western Conference attacked, O'Neal asked for the ball again. This time he pushed Mourning away with his butt, turned around and went into the basket, dunking with both hands and scoring! 6 to 6.

The two sides were going back and forth, and no one could guard the other. The West had too much advantage in attacking the penalty area. Once the shot failed, the East would counterattack quickly. It was difficult for the big men in the West to follow, and the speed in every position was slightly slower.

During the Eastern Conference's offense, Iverson broke through and passed the ball to Carter. The latter broke through Garnett and forced a layup but missed due to interference. O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

The West attacked with no chance from the outside. After several passes, Kidd passed the ball to Garnett, who broke through with the ball. Carter saw the opportunity and stole the ball, knocking the ball out of the baseline.

At this time, Yang Rui made a substitution that surprised everyone!

McGrady rested and was replaced by veteran Reggie Miller.

Zhang Lili asked curiously: "It's only been 2 minutes since the game and there was a substitution. Is McGrady injured? It doesn't look like it. He is normal."

Sun Zhengping analyzed: "Perhaps Yang Rui wants to protect his team's players and let McGrady play symbolically for a while, leaving his strength in the regular season. But wouldn't this be good?"

McGrady didn't think it was strange and even clapped hands with Miller because Yang Rui wanted to win and had talked to him before the game. He needed to stagger the playing time with Iverson and Carter.

The Eastern Conference lineup also has problems. It lacks organizers. The Bucks' Cassel had 18.6 points and 9 assists and was unable to be selected as an All-Star. Ray Allen and Robinson were selected. Without Cassell taking control, the Bucks wouldn't have been able to play as well as they did this season.

As a result, almost all the stars in the Eastern Conference are swingmen. Only Iverson, a small man, mainly played shooting guard in the 76ers. Iverson is willing to organize passes, and someone on the bench must also organize the ball.

When O'Neal, McGrady, and Miller play together, the ball will definitely move well. McGrady is resting now and will come up to attack later. With teammates willing to cooperate on the court, it will be easier to produce good data.

Reggie Miller came on the field and gained a stable three-point shooting point. Before, only Carter was good at shooting three-pointers.

Yang Rui started eating snacks, drinking drinks, and watching the show as usual on the sidelines. At 7 minutes, the official timeout was made, and the two sides made substitutions. The score difference was very close.

Yang Rui called the players together and emphasized the new tactics.

"The counterattack was changed to a positional battle. Ray Allen and Eddie Jones ran on both sides to catch and shoot. Jermaine O'Neal and Brad Miller pulled out and screened without the ball on both sides along the three-point line. Tracy McGrady holds the ball in the middle and can play in isolation or distribute the ball to both sides. If your opponent has a small guy guarding you, you have to shoot resolutely."

Reggie Miller was replaced after playing 5 minutes, and Glenn Robinson and Mutombo continued to be on the bench.

At this time, anyone who knows football can see that Yang Rui wants to win and arranges tactics reasonably. David Stern saw something deeper on the sidelines and smiled.

Good guy, you are so smart, you can actually think of what I am thinking.

Stern represents the will of the alliance. What does he want? Of course, it is to support those stars with personality and ability and make money!

Iverson is praised because he has personality and is a civilian idol, and countless low-level fans like him; Hill is praised because he is a gentleman and very gentleman on the court; Kobe is praised because he is best at imitating Jordan, and his likeness is simply magical.

There are two people in the East that Stern dislikes very much, and that is Reggie Miller and Glenn Robinson.

Stern doesn't think Yang Rui's hiring is a coincidence. It's more like the league doesn't want to praise him, so he reduced the playing time of these two people.

Mutombo is on the bench because his offense is too poor and he is famous for his defense. What the All-Star Game needs is smooth offense, not someone who defends seriously and wags his finger after blocking shots.

Yang Rui not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully!
