As expected, the other party replaced O'Neal in panic.

As Zhang Hao's impression, when O'Neal was cut, he was often confused first, then irritable, and then accepted his fate... and then, after a calm mind, the free throws were generally not bad at the critical moment.

To use this move, you have to seize the opportunity. Generally, you are down from O'Neal's score, and then you are forced to foul instead of actively fouling, the number of times you have reached the free throw stage, otherwise the effect will not be too good, at least the effect in the playoffs will not be particularly obvious.

After a suspension, the Western troops attacked.

After Zhang Hao came to the front court, he continued to do what he should and could do.

It’s not that O’Neal was replaced, and their Western troops had an advantage in the remaining 7 minutes, but O’Neal went down. With both teams in the offensive end in the line, their Western troops had the ability to be evenly matched with the Eastern troops.

Stockton is equipped with two inside players who can pick-and-roll, shoot, and cut into, a mid-range pitcher, and an all-round pitcher who can assist and control... Such teammates are quite strong.

The opponent's center has changed from O'Neal, who has a small forward athletic ability to get a small forward with his legs like two weights tied. The Western Army's impact efficiency has become higher, and the offense is very good.

The Eastern Army replaced Pippen as the core of the organization, Jordan as the first scoring point, and the other players' playing style was also very strong after the Zen master's long offensive adjustment.

The point is that the players are generally very familiar with each other. Even if they are not teammates, they have been very familiar with each other for so many years. In addition, they have strong strength. If they are willing to cooperate on their own initiative, they will be very skilled in cooperating in the final quarter.

At this stage, Zhang Hao relies entirely on his teammates in scoring, and he should try his best to provide his teammates with medium and long distance restraints, occasionally receiving second passes. Indeed, in terms of strength, there is a clear gap between him and the weakest among the other nine players on the field.

This is his personal perception of himself in the current competition, but in the eyes of others, he is already very outstanding!

If you don't take the ball, you can make a shot if you have the chance, and you can also help you occasionally. You can just switch to the center on the defensive end... As for the fact that you can't defend, David Robinson and Ewing both exploded each other. The players of the two teams were originally strong, and they could limit each other after the sky, so Zhang Hao's defense is not so outstanding.

The game was full of hand-to-hand combat. Under such a confrontation, it was quite surprising that Zhang Hao was able to maintain a good accuracy when shooting in an open position.

It is said that the competition that is too fierce will be ugly, but it also depends on who is playing the game.

When the superstars of the two teams find opportunities to throw the ball in a high confrontation, would such a difficult goal not look good?

Both teams have tried their best to play, and they have fought hard to play. Who cares whether it is the All-Star Game or not, they don’t want to lose to the opponent.

The score continued to be anxious, and it was 10 minutes and 58 seconds. By replacing Olajuwon, who was on the field, received a straight pass from Zhang Hao, who passed the top arc, the gyro turned round throw shot. 146 to 144, the Western Conference took a two-point lead!

This pass was Zhang Hao's most beautiful offensive choice in the final quarter, except for the foul on O'Neal. The Eastern Army blocked Malone on the left side of the three-second zone and Stockton on the middle distance on the right. Ewing also expanded to the position where the left side line on the three-second zone approached the free throw line in one step to avoid Malone forcibly cutting in.

Zhang Hao passed a straight pass from the crack to Olajuwon. Although Ewing took it back in time, Olajuwon already had room to make moves!

The offense and defense are transformed, and the Western Army concentrates on defense!

This time, the defense was done very well in the first 20 seconds, but at 11 minutes and 40 seconds, Reggie Miller, who replaced Wen Baker, received a three-pointer from Jordan's second pass without hesitation, and hit the hollow!

147 to 146, the Eastern Army overtook 1 point!

Del Harris called a timeout! The game was 11 minutes and 41 seconds, with 19 seconds left!

At the last moment, Malone, who had switched to Reggie Miller, punched his thigh with annoyance. He could almost intercept Jordan's pass, but he was slower and did not choose to press Reggie Miller directly, which became his biggest mistake on the defensive end!

10 of 22 shots, Jordan's data, who played for 37 minutes, increased to 28 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, a triple-double!

Although O'Neal scored 35 points and Reggie Miller scored 5 three-pointers and scored a total of 21 points, Jordan's performance was obviously the best in the East.

As long as the Eastern Conference wins, Jordan will surely win this year's All-Star MVP! This will also be Jordan's second All-Star MVP.

"I didn't expect that this dead child was so lucky, he didn't make a fool of himself, and he beat him well..."

Originally, it was just letting Zhang Hao go up and experience the fourth quarter of this game, but unexpectedly, Zhang Hao made 2 of 3 shots after O'Neal went down, and also gave two assists. Finally, the ball was passed to Olajuwon, which almost became the winning goal.

25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao's performance tonight could not be better, far exceeding expectations.

For Del Harris, it is of course a pleasure to win, but to this point, if they lose because of Reggie Miller's three-pointer at a critical moment, there is nothing they can do about the Western Conference.

But it is difficult for Western players to accept!

After fighting all the game, I played until now, and the last time I had such a good defense, I was definitely defeated by Reggie Miller.

At this time, no one thought about the fact that "win or lose in the All-Star Game is not important". For players participating in the All-Star Game, if they play casually at the beginning, the score difference is very big, and it doesn't matter if they win or lose, but now they are already competing for face, and it is purely a matter of winning or losing in the game.

Del Harris calmly arranged the tactics of the last attack after entering the timeout.

At this time, everyone discovered something strange...

As the game was played, it turned into a nine-player rotation. The Western Conference played time later on the Magicians, Stockton, Drexler, Richmond, Barkley, Malone, Olajuwon, David Robinson and Zhang Hao.

Their Western troops are very strong, but the Eastern troops are also very strong in the rotation of 9 people. Moreover, when O'Neal was on the court, they fought harder to catch up points and consumed a lot of money.

Now everyone can see fatigue... Before the last defense, everyone can see that the speed, bounce height, reaction ability and other aspects have declined compared to before.

In terms of energy, you can also see fatigue.

However, during this arrangement, there was a person who seemed particularly special...

This person is Zhang Hao!

Compared with the frustration and unwillingness of others after being shot into a key three-pointer by Reggie Miller, and compared with the frustrated Ma Long who made a mistake in the key defensive choice, Zhang Hao was full of fighting spirit.

This is not a surprise to his teammates. Everyone was not surprised by Zhang Hao's high fighting spirit.

The key is that after Zhang Hao wiped off the sweat, he was radiant and energetic... He couldn't tell that he had played for 30 minutes in such a high confrontation and needed full attention!

...

The Western Force sent Stockton, Drexler, Zhang Hao, Malone and Olajuwon.

There is no change before the suspension, mainly tactical adjustments.

The Eastern Force sent a combination of Terry Brandon, Jordan, Pippen, Mourning and O'Neal.

When it was the final defense, the Eastern Army sent out double towers to protect the middle and close range.

The Zen master's adjustment is very targeted. The Western Conference offensive and O'Neal's free throw problem is not a problem. The Western Conference did not shoot long distances in the last two minutes. Mainly, the two substitutes Payton and Kidd on the Western Conference back were both players at the refusal to shoot. Richmond's shooting tonight was awkward and did not score at all his super shooting level of 2.8 three-point shooting average this season.

Stockton didn't make a three-pointer tonight, so blocking the middle and close range and blocking Drexler's three-pointer is the best defensive choice.

Defense does not mean that you need to defend every point of the opponent. It is impossible. Making a choice based on the actual situation is the best defensive strategy.

After the timeout, the Western Team serves in the middle line.

Del Harris did not set up the tactics to let Zhang Hao play singles.

However, the Western Army's strategy of a center squatting at the basket and a center ready to make up for the attack at close range made Stockton unable to play pick-and-roll!

Stockton did not hesitate for too long and signaled Olajuwon and Malone to pull away, asking Zhang Hao to find a place to catch the ball.

When Zhang Hao came on the court, he had already analyzed that this point might be the best opportunity.

While Stockton was hesitating, Zhang Hao had already made a decisive choice, and wanted to find Pippen to change his defense and find a position to hit the back.

However, when Zhang Hao came to the middle distance of the bottom line on the left, Jordan was still behind him!

Jordan expected Zhang Hao to bully his eldest brother Pippen!

Stockton's pass was delivered in time, and Zhang Hao received the ball from the left bottom line against Jordan.

The fans on the scene watched Zhang Hao catch the ball and play singles at Jordan at the last moment, and cheered fiercely again!

The tickets tonight are worth it! You can actually see such an All-Star Game that is full of strength, as well as a singles at critical moments, which is simply too worth it!

This is the case again. Seeing that it is this defender again, Zhang Hao really wants to ask - Hao Ou's oil?

However, when he saw that it was Jordan, Zhang Hao felt even more restless!

He elbowed his side to block Jordan's outstretched hand, grabbed the ball with his other hand, and reached out toward Jordan.

While looking for an opportunity, Malone took the initiative to come up and blocked Jordan...

Good opportunity! But at this time, Zhang Hao's mind twitched and said, "Carl, put away your pick-and-roll, I'm going to fight Jordan alone!"

Ma Long was stunned and walked away silently... At this moment, what Ma Long appeared was not anger, but a little bit of admiration for Zhang Hao's courage.

Really gone!

Zhang Hao really wants to say that his buddy is just shaking cleverly!

Jordan was also stunned, and his anger arose, and the confrontation became even more ruthless!

Seeing that there were 4 seconds left in the attack, and there was no time to hesitate anymore, Zhang Hao turned right and half a step, completely facing the basket, leaning up towards Jordan... Then, he turned left suddenly, and while turning around, he raised his arm and collided with Jordan...

If it was half a quarter before the game, Zhang Hao might have been stuck, but now, his physical strength has temporarily recovered to his best condition. After playing in such a game for 37 minutes, Jordan's physical strength has dropped and his reaction ability has dropped a little. Jordan's movement of squeezing up to get stuck was a little slower, and was stuck by Zhang Hao's iron elbow!

Zhang Hao successfully turned around, pushed the racket forward with his right hand, grabbed the bounced ball, and jumped!

There were only a few seconds left in the countdown of the game. After Zhang Hao jumped up, he couldn't control Mo Ning who was rushing up. He shot a mid-range shot from within the free throw line...Mo Ning jumped high and tried to block it, but Zhang Hao's bounce was not vegetarian. He temporarily recovered to full value, and the ball he threw flew over Mo Ning's fingertips...

At this time, the fans at the scene held their breath. When the ball was falling, the final whistle had already sounded...

In the last attack, Zhang Hao, who triggered the "kill" of the Golden Medal, felt like a hot state. He seized favorable conditions and made a complete shooting move. His shot was very positive and his strength was just right!

"Swish"

Accompanied by the final whistle, Zhang Hao made a buzzer-beating mid-range shot!

The referee decisively indicated that the goal was valid, 148 to 147, and the Western Conference reversed the game at the last moment and completed the final kill!

It burns directly!

The moment the ball fell into the basket, the cheers at the scene reached a boiling point!

At this time, the large screen on the scene immediately switched to the expressions of the players on the court. Zhang Hao was still calm after making the final shot. Ma Long shook his head and clapped his hands. Stockton was stunned, and Olajuwon looked like he was a ghost...

In fact, Stockton asked Zhang Hao to play singles because he thought that Zhang Hao could split the basket and let Zhang Hao take Mo Ning away and Olajuwon could play singles with O'Neal.

But Zhang Hao really went to singles and scored!
To be continued...
