Chapter 449: The first quarter ended
The East was trailing by 2 points, but it was nothing to worry about.
The second quarter.
It was still a duel between the bench All-Stars.
Kidd's dazzling, trick-like passes allowed McGrady, Pierce, Da Yao, and others to score repeatedly and with ease.
"Clang!"
"Swish!"
Da Yao had been practicing his 3-pointers during his free time recently; in regular season games, he was never given the tactics to shoot them, nor did he dare to.
But this was the All-Star stage.
Da Yao let loose and played.
Making one out of two shots surprised many fans; it was as if they had opened a new world, seeing a different side of Da Yao.
The White Horse and Silver Spear, Tracy.
McGrady's pull-up jumper was as elegant and free-spirited as ever, and paired with those sleepy, charming eyes, it maximized the spectacle.
On the West side.
The league's two top shooters, Ray Allen and Peja, took advantage of the loose defense to fire off consecutive 3-pointers from the perimeter.
A barrage of threes.
Nowitzki was not to be outdone, joining in to sink a 3-pointer as well.
It made it rain 3-pointers in the arena.
Even with the bench players, the All-Star stage was brilliant, filled with exciting offensive exchanges that set the fans' hearts racing.
After a 5-minute rotation.
Both sides' starters returned.
The excitement continued.
"The Big Shark" O'Neal started acting up as soon as he got on; although his weight was uncontrollable and constantly increasing, it hadn't reached an extreme level yet.
Once the real game started.
He remained the "giant under the basket," the most dominant center in the league, still without equal.
At this moment, he could still jump.
A connection from the "OK" duo: Kobe drove and dished, O'Neal leaped up, and it was an alley-oop with a violent slam.
This was just one highlight.
It wasn't the main point.
The point was, after O'Neal landed from the alley-oop and was running excitedly to the front court, he bumped into Su Yan, and then...
He took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Su Yan and kissed him on the face.
Su Yan:???
Damn!
What are you doing!
I'm not clean anymore!!!
In the very next possession, the hyperactive O'Neal sought out Su Yan again, grinning and constantly thinking about how to pull another stunt.
