Chapter 84: Trade.
The players from both sides quickly intervened to separate the two, and Han Sen was subbed out by Joe Johnson after accumulating two fouls.
This All-Star game sealed the rivalry between the two.
Although Han Sen was a starter and played impressively at the beginning, he ultimately received only 14 minutes of playing time—the least among the starters.
For an Asian player to make a name in the NBA, they often face more obstacles.
But he made the most of his limited time, scoring 9 points on 4-for-6 shooting, with 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 2 steals.
Under Wade's leadership, the East narrowly edged out the West with a score of 141 to 139.
In terms of stats, Anthony led the West with 27 points and 10 rebounds on 13-for-22 shooting, while Nowitzki put up 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting.
For the East, LeBron scored 22 points, with 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals. Wade scored 28 points with 6 rebounds, 11 assists, and 5 steals, and Bosh contributed 23 points with 10 rebounds and 2 steals.
Wade earned the MVP title, marking his first All-Star MVP award.
As Wade gave his heartfelt acceptance speech, Han Sen joined the applause with the others.
In 2006, Wade had won a championship, but his skills and experience were not fully refined. However, winning the scoring title last season and showing such dominance in this year's All-Star Game marked his true peak.
