much as 19 points.
As a result, in the second half, Carlisle on the Eastern team put on the MM combination of Billups, Anthony and the Detroit Three Tigers.
The Eastern team started to pick up the intensity, but the Western team didn’t get used to it, and the score was caught up little by little.
At the critical moment, Sun Hao stood up. He hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, plus a fast break layup after a steal. He went on to lead the score 8-0!
The Eastern team was beaten and could only call a timeout.
After Carlisle called a timeout, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
No matter how good the tactics are, there is nothing you can do if you encounter an unreasonable opponent.
“It’s not that he can’t win the MVP, he just has no idea.”
This performance also made “Magic” Johnson in the commentary box directly sigh.
“81 points is not 40 points. It’s not something you can get by taking as many shots as you want.”
Kenny Smith on the sidelines has adapted very well to his new role as “Sun Chui”.
After the timeout, the Eastern team had the last chance of the game.
The ball is in McGrady’s hands.
McGrady made 15 of 26 shots tonight and scored 36 points, which is not only the highest in the Eastern Conference but also the highest in the game.
It makes sense for him to handle the final ball.
Of course, more importantly, it also fits the tone of tonight.
As long as he can make this shot, he will definitely deserve the MVP.
If he fails to make a shot and the East loses, the MVP will be given to James, who scores the most points on the West team.
For the Western Team, Johnson adhered to the entertainment nature of the All-Star Game and did not double-team, but only defended one-on-one.
It was James who defended McGrady.
This kind of counterpoint seems very exciting.
McGrady pressed down to the last 6 seconds, turned around and faced James and launched the last attack of the game.
He quickly broke through and pulled back, and James didn’t get caught easily.
The score difference at this time made it clear that McGrady could only shoot three-pointers.
McGrady didn’t move James away, so he could only choose to take a step forward, and then retreat to the left for a three-pointer.
His posture is elegant and full of beauty, especially the last thrust that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
But this shot was blocked by James and he could only take it nearly one meter away from the three-point line, which was quite difficult for a pull-up shot.
Moreover, James showed his talent and struggled to save, causing interference.
Shortly after the ball was released, the red light on the sidelines lit up.
This is a shot that determines the outcome of the game and the final MVP.
The fans’ eyes were all on the spinning basketball.
It’s rare for an All-Star Game to reach this kind of situation.
Even Sun Hao was staring at the ball in the air.
The backspin of the ball is beautiful, and McGrady’s pull-up is textbook.
But there was always a feeling in his
