Chapter 171 171. Continue to cultivate tacit understanding!
Curry turned back to defense with a trace of expectation and regret.
When it was the Eastern Conference's turn to attack, Irving wanted to prove himself too much. He didn't let go of the ball and wanted to organize the offense or score by himself.
But the defense in the West is impenetrable, and Popovich's defense is not a joke. In the East, except for James who tried his best to pick and roll Irving, everyone else has a playful mentality.
The western side counterattacked continuously, widening the point difference to 12 to 0 in two or three!
Again!
Owen missed a three-pointer against Liu Ren from the outside!
Liu Ren has obvious advantages in height and speed. Irving can only make a three-pointer with a big step back, without even touching the basket, and Thackeray easily picks up the rebound.
West strikes back!
Liu Ren quickly got off, Owen and James struggled to catch up.
After receiving a long pass from Kobe in the front court, Liu Ren was overtaken by James. Liu Ren saw Curry running over and prepared to pass the ball.
Irving immediately went to the top of the three-point line to block Liu Ren's pass. After so many rounds, Curry has already made two three-pointers.
Liu Ren saw that Irving blocked the passing route and planned not to pass, but Fuzhi threw the ball beyond the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the basket, and Curry also ran there tacitly.
As soon as the ball was passed beyond the 45-degree three-point line, Curry just ran to the position to receive the ball and made a three-pointer!
Again!
15 is better than 0!
In just three minutes and 17 seconds, the West beat the East 15-0!
James quickly called a timeout, this rhythm is wrong!The competitive attitudes of the two sides are not at the same level at all!
Liu Ren and Curry got off to a hot start!
刘仁6分3助攻1篮板，库里9分，两人合力打了对方一个15比0！
In the east, there is no data except Irving's 5 for 0!
"Haha, Stephen, your three-pointer is too good. I always think mine is strong enough. I think you may be better than me in this one!" Liu Ren rarely praised his opponent on his strengths.
Curry also smiled meaningfully and said: "It's you who pass the ball well. You always send the ball to me in the most comfortable position. Others don't dare to pass the ball like this. Don't they all say it's off the basket? Is it easier to score the closer the basket?"
Thinking about it, Liu Ren is really like this. Except for Green, who is not afraid of getting into trouble, who should have passed this kind of ball to Curry a lot in the Warriors, who else would dare?
Curry later became the king of three-pointers. To a large extent, Green's bold passes were in it, allowing Curry to continuously shoot three-pointers when others had the opportunity to directly attack the basket, and shot three-pointers. Only by advancing, did Curry become famous among the waves.
"Oh, it seems that I let Kupchak take Green away, poor Curry, I hope you can find another passer..." Liu Ren suddenly felt a little sorry for Curry.
However, Green's pass is really bold and smart enough, and Liu Ren and his partner also have a tacit understanding.
So Liu Ren is at most praying for Curry in his heart, as for sending Green back to the Warriors?no way!
The Western All-Star coach Popovich looked at Liu Ren, then at Curry, and then at Liu Ren, his eyes dangling back and forth between Liu Ren and Curry.
Popovich has a feeling that the two seem to have an unexpected tacit understanding!Doesn't seem like a good sign!
Then Popovich smiled, thinking he was just worrying.
"Even if Liu and Curry have the opportunity to partner, it will be three years later. It can't affect us now, and maybe it will affect the Warriors. In this case, why not let the two of them continue to cultivate a tacit understanding?" Consciously showing an evil smile.
Sure enough, then Popovich added some roles to Curry on the offensive end, allowing Curry to follow Liu Ren's ball-holding position and run out of a suitable gap.
Popovich has a reasonable reason for this adjustment: "Liu, you have to grab the MVP's best points and assists. It's easy for you to score [-] or [-] points in this kind of game. If you can get more assists at the same time, we won you. The chances of winning the MVP will be even greater!"
Even Kobe, who was very worried about Popovich, didn't think it was wrong for this reason, and it seemed very reasonable.
In the East, James began to mobilize the enthusiasm of other people, and after taking away the head coach's tactical board in the regular season, playoffs, and finals, he also did it in the All-Star Game. Vogel was about to take over the assistant coach's tactical board Take the tactical board away.
After receiving the reply from the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference that they were willing to cooperate, James began to arrange offensive tactics according to the lineup on the field. As for the defense, there was really no way. With a guy as big as Thackeray inside, there must be someone squatting inside. It's still the white squatting kind.
After returning from the timeout, Irving found that he played a lot better!Finally, I can show my offensive ability!
As long as his teammates are willing to cooperate, Irving's offensive end is still very strong. His teammates' running positions will open up the inside defense.
But Popovich is not only good at defense, he is not afraid of anyone in offense!
As far as the old man's core lineup of the Spurs is concerned, he can play the sixth-ranked offense in the league. Only the Lakers, Rockets, Thunder, Timberwolves, and Clippers average more points per game than the Spurs.
With such a good card in hand, and D'Antoni's proven offensive play, Popovich can play casually against the dismal defense in the East!
Due to Popovich's deliberate arrangement, the protagonists on the field became Liu Ren + Curry VS Irving.
Liu Ren's inside impact and outside shooting were fully utilized by Popovich. After a wave of scoring to attract the Eastern defense, he began to play for Curry.
Curry's shots are really accurate, [-]% of the balls passed to him by Liu Ren are scored, and Liu Ren dares to pass the ball when Curry is defending against him. He doesn't know why he thinks that Curry should score in that position!
And Curry himself didn't know why he felt that he could score after receiving Liu Ren's ball even when there was a defender, and then he made a shot, but he still scored!
Difficult to beat with two fists and four hands is talking about Irving's current situation. Popovich, an old monster, is rarely involved in the All-Star Game, controlling the situation on the court, and changing the rhythm of the game into that of Liu Ren and Curry. Let's deal with Owen together.
Although James has the ability of a first-class coach, he is still a player after all, and he can't fight Popovich, an old monster.
It's normal for the All-Stars to have a large point difference. After more than two minutes into the fourth quarter, the West has already led the East by more than 149 points 104 to 40. The overall situation is set!
Irving, who scored 44 points and 9 assists in three quarters, watched Liu Ren and Curry high-five dumbly. His plan for most of the season was crushed by the two.
