On February 18th, the All-Star Weekend of '05 was upon us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Three-point and slam dunk contests are often not the game of veterans, but of young players. Many young players are unknown in the team, but when they reach the All-Star stage, they become blockbusters, and after gaining more attention, they also earn themselves more playing time, and then grow into stars. The three-point king of the year belongs to Quentin of the Suns. Richardson, who also proved that the Suns deserve to be the league's leading scorer. And the dunk king belongs to the Hawks' rookie Josh. Smith, the young player didn't get many appearances early in the season due to overlapping positions with Walker, but he also won the favor of the head coach after winning the dunk title. He's playing with confidence and he's getting better and better. In the first game after the All-Star break, he faced the King's interior Webb Miller twin towers and scored 19 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, and became famous.

The All-Star Game is of little value to the sport of basketball, but it is a great monument to basketball history. Especially this year, the Eastern lineup has changed a lot, and many new faces have appeared, such as sophomore newcomer James Wang and his own idol, the big name Iverson, who appeared in the backcourt; The forwards are Carter and Hill, this is the first time in 4 years that Hill Sr. has been selected as an All-Star, and it is also the last All-Star trip of his career; The center is O'Neal, the big shark who switched to the Heat in the new season, and he is also a newcomer in the East. In the West, Maddy was shot as an All-Star starter despite his poor form, but he was sidelined by injury and replaced by Nash, along with Kobe, Garnett, Duncan and Yao Ming. Because the Suns lead the league with a very good record, in addition to Nash, Marion and Stoudemire have also been selected as All-Stars for the first time in their careers. The other Western subs were Ginobili, Nowitzki, Lewis, Ray. Aaron and Billups.

The game was lackluster, with the East holding the lead from midway through the third quarter and stretching to double digits in the fourth. Although Bryant hit consecutive three-pointers and assisted his teammates at critical moments, everyone in the East was helpless, and finally the East won by 10 points. Iverson scored 15 points and 10 assists to win MVP. Yao Ming also adapted to the rhythm of the All-Star, repeatedly made balls for his teammates, contributed 11+8+5, and his performance was better than O'Neal, who was good at juggling treasures.

Yuanfei has been trying to talk to Maddie face-to-face during this time, but Maddie always deduces that he needs to rest while recuperating from his injury. The two have not been able to see each other for a long time, and the relationship has become more and more estranged, and the relationship has gradually become suspicious.

On the last day of the All-Star break, Maddie took the initiative to call Tang Shuai and said that he had recovered better and was able to play. But for the next back-to-back matches, he could only play one.

Tang Shuai is very well-bred and doesn't mind. He said he respected Maddie's personal opinion and let him choose one.

On Feb. 22, the Rockets host the Seattle SuperSonics. Two superstar quarterbacks collide to thunder. Aaron's victory came to an end. Allen scored 29 points, while Maddy scored just 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting. Although Yao Ming cut 30+9 to blow up the supersonic inside, the supersonic still took away the victory with a thrilling 97:95.

The next day, the Rockets played the Spurs, and Maddie rested again. The Rockets once again fielded a two-tower lineup, but this time they lost to the GGD combination, and the trio scored 70 points together, and finally lost to the Holy City by 15 points.

On February 27, Wang Yuanfei withstood the pressure and insisted that the team take a turn. The Rockets, who lacked Yao Ming, lost to the Jazz by 7 points at home, and suffered three consecutive defeats after the All-Star break.

This wave of consecutive defeats made the whole team uneasy, but Tang Shuai was calmer. He also took out the example of the Rocket's two consecutive championships that year for comparison, after the Rockets won the championship in 94, they fell to sixth in the West in 95 or successfully defended their title. Now that the Rockets are still in fifth place in the West, there is no need to be overly pessimistic.

And the dissatisfaction between the players gradually breeded, and Yuan Fei was a little aware but understood. It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to lose and not to improve. If the same mistakes are made continuously, it will make the players lose confidence.

The rocket's unstable state has indeed continued. On March 1, Maddy returned to the Bulls, and the Rockets won by 30 points. The next day, Maddy rested back-to-back again, and the Rockets lost by 3 points to the weak Wizards.

The instability finally angered some of the young and energetic players, and Jefferson took Reed and Parker to find Yuanfei.

"Jason, it's so inconsistent for the team right now. We have some opinions that are not to vomit unpleasantly. Jefferson got straight to the point.

'I know the team has had a lot of problems lately and I'm also having a lot of headaches. I'm glad you're willing to share your views with me. Yuan Fei replied politely.

"First of all, this tactic can't always be the same. Every game is different, and everyone is very uncomfortable. Reed complained that he started and came off the bench every game and was Maddie's first victim of stop-and-go.

"Also, we have a lot of respect for the privileged players in the team, but we want the team to treat us more fairly." Parker also expressed displeasure.

"There are more ugly words, I don't know if I should say them." Jefferson looked resentful.

"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Yuanfei also wants to understand the inner dynamics of the players from the heart.

"We're all from playing and we're not less aware of injuries. The injury of a certain player is really suspicious. Usually, back injuries require long-term recuperation. But this repeated injury, repeated good, is really strange. There were even times when I cut thirty or forty points on the first day, and the next day I said that I couldn't move while lying down, which was really abnormal. Jefferson didn't name names, but it was clear who he was talking about.

Yuan Fei pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I have considered all the situations you said. I've wanted to talk to Tracy for a long time, but I haven't been able to get a chance for months. Now you can trust me and say this to me, and I am very grateful. I will definitely solve this problem as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Seeing that the faces of the three of them softened, Yuan Fei changed his words: "But the trade deadline has passed, and we must fight in the current situation this season." I know there are many difficulties, but we will never give up because of them. I hope you are mentally prepared to fight with everyone. There are some issues that may need to wait until the summer to solve. ”

The faces of the three of them became a little ugly again, and they didn't relax again until they heard "wait until summer to solve it". Yuan Fei said very smartly, he only said to solve it, and he did not insist on selling Maddie. The contradictions between the players, he is not very clear. He will not take the initiative to get involved in the conflict, but from the perspective of the team as a whole, he will try to deal with the problem fairly.

"We don't have a lot of issues with Tracy either. If he can adjust himself and lead everyone to win like he did last year, we are very welcome to him. "It's still Parker who is smarter, and the closing words are beautiful.

"Don't worry, I won't mention the names of any of you. My conversation with Tracy was just a conversation between a team manager and a star in the house, and nothing to do with anyone else on the team. Yuan Fei barely squeezed out a smile and sent the three of them out of the office.

"I really can't solve it." He sighed as he closed the door.

This time we have to have a showdown with Maddie! (To be continued.) )
