"I'd love to give it a try, Bruce, it's a really great idea!"

Embiid immediately agreed.

Embiid is a tease, he dared to recruit James and Qin Yang in his rookie season, and wanted the two to be junior brothers, this kind of courage is really not something ordinary people can give.

But it also speaks volumes about Embi's strength.

If you were to replace someone else, you simply don't have the courage to do so. Only with strength can there be courage.

After Embiid, Anthony Davis also spoke out in support: "It's a good idea, I think being big is an advantage, not a disadvantage, and I'm going to show the little guys what we're capable of in this game." ”

Both of them spoke, and the others were even more unrestricted.

However, Qin Yang also simply arranged his tactics.

The biggest problem with the five big men on the court is the team's defense on the outside, which is an absolute flaw because the big man faces the small man on the outside, which is a natural misalignment.

The little guy on the opposite side will definitely be able to break through to the layup.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to assist in the defense of the inside line.

The second is rebounding, there are so many big men, rebounding is the most important thing, even if the defense is a little worse, but as long as the advantage of rebounding is great, you can still win.

Therefore, the movement speed of the inside line must be fast, and the defense of the outside line must also be paid attention to.

The Qinyang team's starters had been confirmed before the start of the game.

Qin Yang, Paul George, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid. THE AVERAGE HEIGHT OF THIS STARTER IS OVER 211CM.

Looking at the history of the NBA, there is no one of the highest rosters.

The All-Star Game hasn't changed much from last year.

The Rookie Challenge is still the U.S. team and the international team, and it's still as simple and straightforward as ever, and the U.S. team has been abused again.

Although many media believe that the U.S. team has better rookie talent and more superstars in the future, it is undeniable that the international team has an absolute advantage in the game between the U.S. team and the international team. This advantage is not due to the age of the international team, but the tactical coordination of the team.

The rookies of the U.S. team, except for individual players, are all lonely.

Getting the ball is a singles, nothing else at all.

Expressing yourself is the most important thing, and everything else can be said later.

In contrast, the players of the international team are different, most of them are very good at passing, good at shooting, because this is important in team tactics.

The Rookie Challenge was followed by a three-point contest and a slam dunk contest.

This year's three-point contest was as boring as ever.

Since Curry and Klay Thompson won the championship, the two have not participated in the three-point contest, but some rookies and new superstars still participate, such as Lillard and others.

In this three-point contest, it was Lillard who won.

In the finals, Lillard faced tremendous pressure and hit five balls on the premise that he had to hit five of his last six shots to win the championship.

The scene was boiling.

After the game, the news media also praised Lillard for having a big heart and an excellent three-point shot, almost praising Lillard.

However...... In the playoffs of previous seasons, Lillard simply had no limits to his teammates.

The low efficiency value is outrageous.

Even if the defense is not brilliant enough, it is not good on the offensive end, and in the face of strong protection, you can't play your own offense, and you can't lead the team to win.

Compared to the playoffs, Lillard is not as good as McCollum.

Slam Dunk Contest.

The Mavericks competed in two pairs, McGee and Mitchell.

The league began to praise Mitchell and treat him as the next Kobe, plus Mitchell received a lot of attention on the Mavericks, and there were many fans who supported him.

It's a pity that the final champion is still Zach Lavin.

Zach LaVine's bounce was so good that several dunks were close to a perfect score, beating the other players, and there was no suspense about winning.

After winning the slam dunk contest, Zach LaVine said that he would also quit the dunk contest after winning three slam dunk contest titles.

This forced pretending almost caught up with Qin Yang.

Skills Challenge, in which Mitchell also participated.

Mitchell has received many invitations from the league this year, and has been in situations for more time than most superstars, and it is too obvious that the league wants to praise Mitchell.

Even the Lakers' manager, Magic Johnson, did not hesitate to praise in an interview:

"Why not? We need the next Kobe, Mitchell has the potential to be a superstar, and we're willing to bring him to Los Angeles if he wants to. ”

But in fact, the Lakers are only willing to pay garbage contracts and second-round picks for Mitchell.

This kind of attitude is simply a dog.

The Mavericks want the Lakers' power forward Kuzma, but the Lakers obviously don't want to let go, in terms of future potential, Kuzma may be a good power forward, but compared to Mitchell, it's far behind, so this deal for the Lakers is not a loss.

But the Lakers are still reluctant to do it.

Obviously, there is a clear discrepancy between what is said and what is done.

After the rest of the games, the All-Star Game of the season finally ushered in the most important game, the All-Star Game.

And this game is very much in the spotlight.

In the pre-game interview, Qin Yang stood in front of his teammates and behaved very relaxed:

"Working with these teammates, I actually feel very relaxed, because I'm finally not the tallest one on the outside, and I don't have to worry about me holding others back."

"I think it's going to be a great game and I'm looking forward to it."

On the other side, James is also full of confidence:

"Of course, it's up to us to win, because we have a lot of energy, and if we can run, we can win. We've got tactics in place, and we're ready to go. ”

In the pre-match warm-up, TNT experts sent a triumvirate lineup to comment.

Kenny Smith pulled out a report and said:

"According to the pre-game survey, more than 70% of fans think that James' team will create a miracle and win this All-Star Game, what do you think?"

"Impossible!"

Charles Barkley and O'Neill said directly.

O'Neill smiled and puffed his stomach: "Dude, do you know who I regret most not working with after I retired?" ”

"Bruce Qin!"

O'Neal said solemnly: "I have worked with Kobe, James, Wade, Nash and others, but in all the cooperation, I don't feel very satisfied, this feeling is difficult to experience, simply put, playing with Bruce, it will become extraordinarily simple." ”

"yes, I think so too."

Charles Barkley agreed: "If Bruce was in our day, there was no doubt that he would have been a strengthened version of Magic Johnson, maybe the championship would have been without Jordan." ”
