The team members came in time to separate the two, and Hansen was also benched after committing two fouls, replaced by Joe Johnson.
This All-Star game had officially started their rivalry.
Although he was a starter and performed exceptionally well at the beginning, Hansen ultimately only played for 14 minutes, the least among the starters.
As an Asian, making a name for oneself in the NBA requires overcoming greater challenges than usual.
Fortunately, in his limited time, he performed brilliantly, scoring 9 points from 6 shots, including 4 makes, and he also had 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 2 steals.
In the end, under Wade's leadership, The East narrowly defeated The West 141 to 139.
Statistically for The West, Anthony scored the highest with 27 points and 10 rebounds from 22 shots and 13 makes, while Nowitzki contributed 22 points from 15 shots and 8 makes.
