Possession went back to the Western Conference.
Stephen Curry brought the ball across half court and passed to Butler once he reached the top of the key.
Butler caught it and found Booker.
After a simple handoff, Devin Booker pulled up and fired another three.
Clang!!
Another miss!!
The "Sun God" seemed a little off his game tonight. Well, it was nighttime, after all~~
Adebayo secured the rebound and got it to Tatum.
Tutu pushed the ball upcourt, then chose to pass to Chen Xi after crossing half court, too.
Chen Xi looked utterly bewildered as he caught the ball.
"Seriously, guys? What are you all doing? Take your own shots! Why do you keep giving it to me? I'm just here to slack off..."
After a brief pause, Chen snapped out of it. Left with little choice, he decided to do it himself. He might as well give something back to the fans~~
He put the ball on the floor, accelerated into the paint, then gathered it and took his steps.
Pushing off one foot, he soared into the air, glided a short distance, then slipped the ball into the basket with a light, beautiful double-clutch finger roll.
An easy two points.
The score reached 17–9.
The Eastern Conference was still piling up points quickly.
The Western Conference, meanwhile, had briefly stalled thanks to Booker's consecutive misses from beyond the arc.
They needed to score.
Back at the other end, they launched another attack.
Curry found LeBron with a pass.
James then faced Durant with the ball.
To absolutely no one's surprise...
James called for a pick-and-roll, to absolutely no one's surprise.
He waved Gobert up for an on-ball screen, then accelerated into the paint.
During the drive, he pulled off a no-look pass, sending the ball to Butler
