NBA All-Star Weekend starts on February 23 and ends on February 27, which is a full five days, and for the vast majority of players in the league, these five days are a time to rest and relax.

Of course, this refers to the vast majority of players, not all of them.

The All-Star players had no easy time in the past five days.

Participating in autograph sessions, conducting community charity activities, and participating in All-Star events are all messy and exhausting.

But I'm afraid there is no player in the entire league who would not want to participate in All-Star Weekend, because it is a symbol of strength and status.

Entertainment events such as rookie challenges, dunk contests, and three-point contests are the best stages for little-known players to show their faces, and the All-Star Game is the highest-profile event that only 24 players can participate in in the league.

There are nearly 450 professional players in the entire NBA league, but only 24 can participate in the All-Star Game, which is self-evident.

This season, the Wizards have two players selected for the All-Star Game, Curry and George.

Curry relied on his explosive performance in February to beat Rose, Jeremy Lin, and Wade in the All-Star vote to become the player with the most votes among Eastern defenders, followed by Rose, who was third and Wade fourth.

And George didn't stand out in the forward vote.

There's no way around it, and the forward position in the East is too exaggerated.

LeBron. James, Cameron. Anthony's two top stars lead the way, well ahead of all other players in the forward position.

George is averaging 19 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.5 steals per game so far this season, and although he is already very good, he is still a little less flashy after all, and his votes in the All-Star vote are similar to those of Paul Pearce, Danny Granger and others.

Although he didn't make the selection, George's outstanding play on both ends of the floor earned him a spot on the All-Star bench.

Except for Curry and George, there are no other players on the Wizards team who have been selected for the All-Star Game.

Caron. Butler, Antoine. Jamison could have been an All-Star three years ago, but at his age, his stats are no longer adequate.

And Thompson and Leonard, Jimmy. Butler and others will be proper All-Stars in the future, but they are far from it now.

Thompson and Leonard, although not selected for the All-Star Game, participated in the All-Star Rookie Challenge as first-year rookies.

In addition, Wang Xiao, as the coach with the best record in the East, naturally became the head coach of the Eastern All-Star team again.

According to the rules, the same coach is not allowed to become an All-Star head coach twice in a row, and the last time he served as an All-Star head coach was in the 09-10 season, and although the Wizards led the league in the 10-11 season, Wang Xiao was not able to become an All-Star head coach again because of the rules.

It's 2012, and after a year, Wang Xiao is back in the position of All-Star head coach.

To be honest, Wang Xiao has no interest in the position of All-Star head coach.

The all-star is the stage for the players, and it has nothing to do with the coach, there will be no tactics on the field at all, that is, the stars take turns to show their skills and show their personal charm.

If he can, even if Wang Xiao wants to directly give up the position of head coach to the coaches of other teams, he can also take the opportunity to rest for a few days.

But this year things are a little different...... He needed to support his disciples.

In addition to Curry and George, Wang Xiao actually has another disciple who has also been selected as an Eastern All-Star, and that is Jeremy Lin.

Lost to Curry and Rose in the vote, but with Jeremy Lin's strength and 20+10 data, there is no problem in being selected as an All-Star bench.

To tell the truth, Wang Xiao didn't expect Jeremy Lin to lose to Curry and Rose in the vote, in his impression, Chinese players are completely open in terms of All-Star voting, like Da Yao has repeatedly squeezed O'Neal to the bench, who was still in the prime at the time.

However, Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American after all, and he can't be compared with Da Yao in terms of appeal.

Jeremy Lin's situation is actually somewhat awkward.

Chinese Americans are unpopular at home, despised as banana people, and are also not valued in the United States, and the fan base of Jeremy Lin in the United States is completely unmatched with Curry Ros.

Despite the help of the majority of fans in China, Jeremy Lin's votes still failed to surpass the other two.

It's just that he didn't become an All-Star starter, this thing is a public vote, and Wang Xiao can't help it, but he doesn't want his disciples to be bullied during the All-Star Weekend!

In fact, during last year's All-Star Weekend, Jeremy Lin participated in the All-Star Game.

As the second yellow person selected for the All-Star Game after Da Yao, Jeremy Lin's participation in the All-Star Game is of great significance.

However, at the All-Star Game, Jeremy Lin didn't have much of a chance to perform.

He played less than five minutes and basically didn't touch the ball on the field.

At that time, Wang Xiao was a little angry.

Oh yes! This is blatant bullying!

Jeremy Lin is a point guard! A point guard can't catch the ball? Are you kidding? It's clear that other people don't want to pass the ball to him.

None of the players who played with Jeremy Lin were willing to take the initiative to hand the ball to Jeremy Lin, forcing Jeremy Lin to be embarrassed and helpless on the court, so he could only stand on the outside and play soy sauce.

This is actually normal, all foreign players have such a situation, even Da Yao is no exception.

Da Yao has participated in a total of 6 All-Star games in his career, all of which were played as starters, but as a starter, Da Yao's average playing time is only 16.7 minutes.

Not only Da Yao, but stars like Nowitzki, Nash, Gasol and other stars have suffered the same thing.

After all, NBA All-Star Weekend is held in the United States, and there is no reason for you to stink as a foreigner.

But the truth is this, Wang Xiao is still very unhappy.

With whom? Play this set? If you have the ability, let's see who can get past whom!

As a result, Wang Xiao became the head coach of the 12-year All-Star East without any rejection.

As a head coach, even though he is just a mascot-like head coach, he has a lot of power, at least on the field, he can decide who plays on the field and who sits on the bench off the court.

"Coach, what are you looking at?"

On the plane to Orlando, the host of All-Star Weekend, Curry looked at Wang Xiao who was staring at the laptop and sneered, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I don't have a good memory." Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "Some people who are not very famous are easy to forget after a long time......

"Inexplicable."

Curry didn't know why, but when he looked at Wang Xiao's computer screen, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
