"Fast and efficient! The Clippers star coped with ease, the small card was in good shape, and George performed well, and he could see the All-Star style in 10 minutes"
On February 19, Beijing time, the NBA All-Star Game swept by, and the Eastern All-Stars defeated the Western All-Stars by an astonishing margin of 211-186, and the MVP crown fell to Lillard, whose 39 points became the focus of the game. However, the Western star lineup failed to show the competitiveness it should have, and the entire game was comprehensively suppressed by the East, which made fans feel regretful, but the two teams on the three-point line became a beautiful scenery.
Among the Western stars, James only played 13 minutes in the first half due to an ankle injury, scoring 8 points on 4-of-10 shooting, and for the Lakers' consideration of the second half of the season, he chose to rest early, which is eye-catching. At the same time, the Clippers' twin stars Leonard and George also performed calmly in the whole game, only playing 10 minutes, dealing with it easily, and it seemed that they did not even sweat at all, which really brought a surprise to the fans.
Prior to that, Leonard had suffered some injuries, but fortunately, that didn't affect his form at the All-Star Game. He hit a three-pointer as soon as he got on the court, but the next three-point shot didn't hit the mark, which made him a little embarrassed on the court, but he quickly retired from the break. In the whole game, Leonard was 2-of-4, 1-of-3 three-pointers, contributed 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, although there was one foul, but the overall performance was acceptable, while the entire team only had two fouls, and the other was Jokic's.
In contrast, George showed an efficient side throughout the game, playing limited minutes but being comfortable on the field. He scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, 2-of-4 three-pointers, and made the team's only free throw. In addition, George also has two assists, one of which is to help Lao Zhan fly, which can be described as amazing. However, he had a somewhat embarrassing scene when he was heads-up under the basket, and when he was about to turn over and dunk when no one was guarded, there was a rare three-not-touch.
Although Kawhi Leonard and George paddled at the All-Star Game, it was good news for the Clippers, who had little to no physical wear and tear in the game and could focus more on the upcoming regular season. This season, Leonard and George have had a pretty high attendance rate, and the two have played together for a record number of Clippers careers, and the team has maintained a good record, currently sitting in third place in the West with a 36-17 record.
Overall, the wonderful performance of this All-Star Game and some special shots have brought a lot of surprises and topics to the fans. Although the pinnacle matchup between the East and West did not present a white-hot competition, the individual performances of the stars became the focus, and the easy appearance of the Clippers duo brought joy to the fans. As the regular season continues, it is believed that the bits and pieces of this All-Star Game will become one of the topics of conversation among fans. Looking forward to more exciting NBA games, let's witness the birth of history together!
