Reggie Miller was particularly envious of Zhang Hao's body shape.

From a theoretical point of view, you can learn anything, but it’s just a matter of whether you can learn well. Practice Mutombola three points, at least Mutombo can learn the movements.

But height cannot be achieved.

The All-Stars in the Eastern Conference were also surprised by Zhang Hao's free performance. Anthony Hardaway was in this regard, but he was fine, while Grant Hill felt incredible about Zhang Hao's performance without any stage fright. He could not be as relaxed as Zhang Hao.

What was more experienced players was surprised by Zhang Hao's adaptability - this rookie is getting better and better with the Lakers. It is not just that the Lakers got Doug Christie around its trade, which made the Magician come back. The key is that the rookie himself uses his teammates who are good at passing the ball!

The perfect champion puzzle!

The old superstar who is determined to win the championship in the Eastern Army is extremely jealous of Zhang Hao!

But now, it is not the time to seduce rookies to cooperate after the contract expires in 1998. Jordan is almost so angry that he is so angry that he is so angry that he concentrates on playing first.

Seeing that Jordan was so irrefutable that he could not refute, the Zen master finally woke up.

The only pure point guard in the Eastern Conference All-Star point guard is Trier Brandon, a 180-centimeter-high short point guard. Fortunately, there are many forwards in the organization, and there are no fast point guards on the opponent, so it is not impossible to play. Jordan was so angry that his teammates were very angry today. He probably couldn't stop his determination to play...

After thinking for a while, the Zen master began to do the personnel: "Michael, go to the control guard, don't guard against that rookie, waste your energy, Alonzo, come on, Trier and Reggie, you are responsible for following the opponent's forward guard, Scott, you go to guard against that rookie..."

After arranging the rotation, the Zen master took the tactical board and started drawing...

A group of all-stars, the Zen master feels that coaching the All-Star Game is just a pleasure!

But when Pippen heard this defensive arrangement, he was shocked - that rookie, I am not good at defense... No, Jordan's physical strength is physical strength, but not my physical strength?

...

The Western Force sent a combination of Stockton, Richmond, Zhang Hao, Malone and Olajuwon.

Originally, Del Harris thought of Zhang Hao, a rookie. Although he was the ticket king, he definitely had no chance to perform. He would replace him after a while, so as not to waste his energy on the court and might be bullied by the old stars... No, he couldn't stand this rookie and didn't want him to perform in the All-Star Game.

But I didn't expect that its versatile characteristics can also perform so well in the All-Star Game. Although it is an All-Star Game, if you have the chance to win, it will naturally be the best if you win.

No one likes to lose in the game.

Also, the Lakers can free up more than 10 million US dollars of huge salary space after the end of this season, allowing Zhang Hao to continue playing, and use the versatile characteristics shown by Zhang Hao to attract the attention of All-Stars. It is also good.

On the other hand, the Eastern Force sent a combination of Jordan, Reggie Miller, Glenn Rice, Pippen and Morning.

The mood of the head coach of the Eastern Army was completely different from that of the head coach of the Western Army. The Zen master wanted to curse at that time - what did the silver fox on the opposite side think? He actually replaced the Shuangsha and Zhang Hao together?

The Zen Master did not expect the opponent to rotate like this. The players may not everyone pay attention to the grudge between Ma Long and Zhang Hao. However, as the head coach of a top-level team, he lost to the Lakers once before. The Zen Master did not want to lose the second time, so before playing against the Lakers, the Zen Master spent time paying attention to the Lakers team that had defeated them once, and learned about the festival between Zhang Hao and Ma Long.

His rotation is based on the adjustments that Zhang Hao and Ma Long will not appear together.

"I hope these two people are fighting in the game..."

After the timeout, Olajuwon made both free throws, and the score was 19 to 14, with the Western Conference leading by 5 points.

Eastern troops attack.

Although Zen Master Duan was full of anxiety on the defensive, their lineup was shown at that time.

Except for Mourning, the other four Eastern Conference players have excellent passes. Reggie Miller and Glen Rice have both averaged 3+ assists per game this season, Jordan averaged 4+ assists per game, and Pippen averaged 6+ assists per game. Although Jordan and Reggie Miller dislike each other, when the game comes, the two cooperate very well and know each other too well.

Under Pippen's main control, Reggie Miller received the ball from the sideline, passed the ball with a long pass on the weak side, and Jordan easily made a mid-range jump shot from the bottom line after Mooning's pick-and-roll without the ball!

Zhang Hao's backup defense was a beat slower, and Jordan's pace was very good.

In just one round, Zhang Hao could see that compared with the starting lineup, although the current lineup of the Eastern Army has weakened its strong attack points, the team cooperation can be perfect.

Stockton, who was blocked by Mourning just now, could indeed block Jordan if he went around and Zhang cooperated with him to attack Jordan, but Reggie Miller would have a simpler pass to the basket and Mourning would cut into the ball and eat the cake.

Mooning is not as good as O'Neal when playing singles, but Mooning is much better than O'Neal after pick-and-roll.

The offense and defense were changed, and the Eastern Army quickly retreated and defended, which was so fast, because the Western Army's frontcourt trio had a very fast player.

Ma Long, who took back the basket, picked up the ball and was about to serve, but he heard a plain tone: "Mr. Ma Long, take out all your pick-and-roll strengths, and we will cooperate well."

Stockton, who was about to receive the serve, wanted to play a good match for the two, but Malone immediately choked: "I need you to tell me this kind of thing?"

Stockton was stunned...that was he agreed? Zhang Hao got the response and ran to the frontcourt quickly.

Jordan was waiting for Stockton to advance, and watching Malone running over after serving the ball... he felt his scalp numb.

What kind of magic tricks do he and Glen Rice use to prevent the double evil spirits? Pippen has always done a good job in defending Malone, but what magic tricks do Reggie Miller and Glen Rice need to use to prevent Zhang Hao?

But beyond Jordan's expectations, after Stockton advanced to the frontcourt, the pick-and-roll executor he looked for was not Malone, but Olajuwon!

After the pick-and-roll, Olajuwon cut in under Jordan's defense. Mooning did a good job of switching to defend from the outside. Stockton did a good job of speed and prediction. When Olajuwon was about to cut into the basket, Stockton took the ball first. Zhang Hao, who cut from the left, received the ball, and Pippen followed closely behind. Glenn Les closed the ball into the basket in advance, defending Zhang Hao directly hit the basket and passed the ball to Olajuwon. Zhang Hao passed the ball at a high position, and Malone received the ball from the left side of the free throw line and made a mid-range shot.

With two passes and an open spot, Stockton showed his overall control ability that was not inferior to the Magician!

When each of his teammates can be a pitcher, have no ball ability, and have a pick-and-roll double tower, Stockton's performance is definitely not inferior to the Magic who opened the game.

When the Zen master saw this scene, he really wanted to call a pause immediately - that rookie and Ma Long were really fighting and cooperating! What about the promised fight with each other?

Many players in the Eastern Army are in the same mood.

On the Western Conference, seeing that Zhang Hao had no hesitation and found that Ma Long had the chance to pass the ball immediately, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhang Hao and Ma Long had personal conflicts, when they were teammates playing together, they passed the decisively, and did not say that they had to destroy the other person's assist and shot the decisively, so the teammates were relieved.

Nowadays, the players are already serious about the All-Star Game. After the start of the round when Zhang Hao and Jordan fought one-on-one, the emotions of others were aroused.

Everyone wants to win!

Superstars with strong competitive spirit, under the infection of Zhang Hao and Jordan, have really begun to attack and defend with all their strength!

In the next few minutes of the first quarter, the Western Army continued to take the initiative, which was related to Del Harris' unexpected rotation. Not to mention Zen Master, Ma Long and Zhang Hao actually didn't expect Del Harris to replace them together.

The reason for Del Harris to rotate like this is very simple - if you want to win, I believe in the competitive spirit of Zhang Hao and Ma Long, and he believes that the two are very suitable as teammates.

When the first quarter was over, the Western Conference led by 9 points 41-32 and entered the second quarter.

During this period, the Eastern Army made personnel adjustments, but not on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Trier Brandon, who had better passes, replaced Glenn Rice, who had poor performance in passing tonight. If Glen Rice had not made 1 of 4 shots, the Eastern Army would not have fallen behind so much.

The key is that the Western Army's offensive performance in the first quarter was really explosive. In the stage where the Magician was present, the Western Army scored less than 19 points in less than half of the quarter, and in the stage where Stockton was present, the Western Army scored 22 points in a little more than half of the quarter, which was simply explosive!

"If we don't mention the intensity, we have a great disadvantage in offense. The opponent's substitute lineup is stronger than our substitute lineup. We need to increase the intensity and let both sides start fighting for the main force as soon as possible, so we still have a chance..."

The Zen master decisively determined the next rotation and tactical strategies.

...

Back at the bench and sat down, Zhang Hao received a notice from Del Harris, and he would not be on the second quarter at the beginning.

Have a great time playing!

In the second half of the first quarter, he scored a score of only one high jump shot, and one of the two free throws that was fouled by the opponent in a counterattack and scored 3 points. However, in the second half of the first quarter, with the attacks between Stockton and Olajuwon, he was the transfer point, got 3 assists in half the quarter, 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

I had a good experience with the best organizational offensive ability of the Magician and Stockton at this age. Zhang Hao felt that such performance was enjoyment!

Enjoy the game and win the game, this is what Zhang Hao feels most happy now.

During the suspension, the two teams made adjustments and the suspension ended. When Zhang Hao looked at the opposite lineup, he felt something was wrong...

The Western Conference sent Payton, Kidd, Richmond, Barkley and David Robinson's lineup.

In the rotation stage, let all players play.

In the east, Trier Brandon, Jordan, Pippen, Morning, O'Neal were sent...

What is this lineup going to do?

Pippen and Jordan are not resting?

Moreover, Zhang Hao was particularly serious when he saw O'Neal's expression!

What he didn't know was that before he got on the court, the Zen master said to O'Neal: "Will our Eastern Conference lose as badly as last season's finals?"

After the second quarter started, the intensity of the game was completely different!

When being directed, follow the core instructions, whether it is the Magician, Stockton or Kidd, just do as you want. When there is no arrangement, try to use your running awareness and analyze your teammates and opponents' ability to move, find opportunities to catch the ball or try your best to open up space for your teammates, and you won't slack off because of the opportunity but fail to catch the ball in the next round.

For off-ball pitchers, it is normal for them to think they have a chance but cannot receive the ball due to objective factors.

In addition to this simple style of play on the offensive end, there is another point - find an opportunity to fight back!

Zhang Hao played for 5 minutes in the second quarter, and a counterattack dunk helped the Western Army greatly improve morale. After the official timeout in the third quarter, the cut-in and dunks also had the same effect.

But overall, in the two middle quarters, he had little impact on the overall situation and did not play much time. He played 4 minutes in the second quarter and 5 minutes in the third quarter.

After playing in the first three quarters, he scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block after playing 21 minutes. With 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter, he only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the middle two quarters.

But he was not dissatisfied. Instead, he was excited because of his teammates and opponents in such a high-level game that was played in such an all-star game!

Teammates and opponents are all too powerful!

The Eastern Conference relied on O'Neal's 6-8 shot in a single quarter and 4 of 6 free throws to score 16 points. At the end of the half, he overtook the Western Conference with two points 76-74, and scored 44-33 in a single quarter.

This is Zhang Hao's dunk that made the Western Conference's morale burst into 8-3, otherwise the gap would be even bigger after the half.

In the third quarter, the Eastern Conference started with a 11-0 wave, but before the official timeout, it relied on the super powerful pick-and-roll combination of the double evil spirits + David Robinson, coupled with the precise shooting of Ritchmond and Drexler, and responded with a 15-5 wave. After Zhang Hao came on the court, he used the speed advantage of Zhang Hao and David Robinson. When the three quarters were finished, the Western Conference, which was once 13 points behind, chased the gap to 1 point.

After the third quarter, the Western Army fell behind the Eastern Army by 111-112 and entered the break.

The TV commentator, who was originally complaining about the defensive adjustments in the first quarter of the Zen Master, had to admire the Zen Master's vision at this time.

Except for the time when the Western Army had to let every All-Star play for a few minutes in the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Zen Master mainly played defense and used O'Neal to force the chisel. The Zen Master was strengthening the offense during other periods. It seemed brainless, but in fact, the Eastern Army was getting better and better. By the end of the third quarter, the key to the starting point from being unfavorable to taking the initiative!

Although the Western Conference scored the gap to only 1 point, after the start of the fourth quarter, Jordan and O'Neal took turns to exert force, especially O'Neal, which was extremely strong. Olajuwon and David Robinson were both in a single defense. The Eastern Conference mid-range pitchers were Jordan and Grant Hill, and the three-point pitcher was Terry Brandon. The Western Conference did not dare to double-team easily, and O'Neal could no longer stop him in the interior!
