Chapter 427: Another year of all-stars
Shrink the season, and everything comes faster.
For example, the All-Star Game, it seems that the All-Star Game is coming soon, even if you don't play much in the game.
Also, after all, everything is in a hurry this year, and in order to successfully complete the All-Star Game in February, it is really a hurry to rush and wait for one day to be used as two days.
This year's All-Star was held in Orlando, well, if Howard hadn't gone, this year would have been his home stadium.
The Magic have the lowest record this year, but they can hold the All-Star Game, which is also drunk.
But there is no way, this year's magic mainly blames themselves for not being angry, Bynum is addicted to washing, cutting and blowing, and wants to be an Internet celebrity and wants to go crazy. Artest fished for three days and dried nets for two days, paddling on the field, and did not have the work ethic of a player at all.
In addition, the Magic's starting five last year was only Nielsen, and although he got his wish to become the boss, he was powerless to change the team's current situation.
That's normal, because at Nielsen's level, there's no way to lead a team to the playoffs.
This year's All-Star voting is a bit interesting, if according to the original history, Howard, as the host, will be the vote king this year, but he is now going to the Lakers in advance, with Kobe Bryant, Howard's vote will definitely not be higher than Kobe.
As the host of the Magic, it is likely that no one will be able to enter the All-Star this year, Bynum does have fans and strength, but the problem is that Bynum's current fans, basically most of them are masters who like to wash, cut and blow like him, and have nothing to do with basketball, and whether people will help him vote is still a question.
On the 76ers' side, Han Miao and Yao Ming are stable, now it depends on who of the two of them can become the ticket king, James was killed in the finals because he formed a big three last year, to be honest, the current vitality has not recovered, that is to say, he will not think about it this year, but there should be no problem in grabbing a starter.
There is also a stable person in the East is Rose, who is not injured Rose with the Bulls to dominate the top three in the East, plus Rose played very domineering in the playoffs last year, and now the status of Rose in the East is also very high.
Looking at it this way, the remaining position in the East should be Anthony, as the current boss of the Knicks, it is not a problem for Anthony to win a starter.
So if nothing else, the starters in the East this year are Rose, Han Miao, Anthony, James and Yao Ming.
Well, these five people were also starters last year,
However, Yao Ming and Anthony were still in the west at that time.
As for the bench in the East, the competition is fierce, not to mention Wade and Bosh, Deron Williams of the Nets, Joe Johnson of the Hawks, the old Big Three of the Celtics, and George of the Pacers and Hayward of the 76ers! It's a lot of competition, okay?
The East is fierce, and the West is the same, Paul and Kobe Bryant's status is definitely unshakable, and the backcourt starters in the West are definitely these two people, and there were rumors that they would merge in the summer, but they were ruthlessly stifled by the league, but the All-Star Game is the desire of the fans, and no one can stop it.
The small forward in the West is also stable, and after Anthony leaves, Durant currently has no opponent in the small forward position in the West, and he is the only one.
The big forward is a little more intense, and the four of them are about the same, Aldridge, Love, and Griffin, and who can start in the end depends on luck.
On the center, Howard deserves it, although there is no particularly good chemistry between the Lakers and Kobe this year, but Howard's personal ability is still very powerful, the Lakers' record just did not meet the expectations of fans, in fact, it is also very good in the entire West, and the fourth place is also in the upper circle, right?
The Western bench backcourt is very strong, Nash, Westbrook, Parker, Conley, etc., plus the last three who fell from the power forward and a center Marc Gasol, to be honest, the West is not easy to make into the All-Star.
If it weren't for the fact that Duncan and Ginobili couldn't be selected due to injury, the competition in the west would be even more intense!
Another thing that makes All-Stars different this year is the Rookie Challenge, which this year in Orlando will take place in a completely different format than in the past. In fact, as early as January this year, there were rumors that this year's Rookie Challenge would be restructured. Now that the rumors have turned into facts, this time the Rookie Challenge in Orlando will feature a mix of first- and second-year students.
"Mixed teams? That's interesting! ”
"Mixed teams? It's funny, isn't it? ”
When the first- and second-year rookies heard the news, they gave different feelings, and for the first-year rookies, they suddenly felt that they were really lucky.
Let's take a look at the sophomore rookies, Han Miao and Griffin, who shared the "best rookie" last year and averaged 20+10 per game, last year's champion Lang Wall, Paul George, who bravely stood up and carried the team's banner after Granger's injury, Gordon Hayward, the all-round warrior of the 76ers, and Cousins, the potential center of the Kings...... These are all masters with hard power, okay!
Look at this year's rookies, except for the champion Lang Irving, who is playing well, everyone else is struggling, especially for this year's rookie leader Leonard, who is currently recovering from an injury in the Spurs!
If you start the first grade and play the second grade, it is estimated that this year's second-year rookie will be able to beat the first-year rookie into autism.
Fortunately, the rules were changed, otherwise what would you play?
I heard that this year's rookie game, Barkley and O'Neal will each join a team and serve as coaches, and then they will be in charge of selecting people, and now everyone hopes that they don't meet a coach who has bad luck, otherwise it will be the end of the calf.
"Han, do you think I'll be an All-Star this year?"
Hayward looked at the current vote and sighed, he didn't vote high enough and was teetering on the brink of danger.
"Calm Gordon, the rookie game will definitely have you."
Han Miao hooked his neck, Hayward was choked enough in the race, Pierce and Joe Johnson couldn't squeeze any of them, and it was estimated that there would be no drama this year.
But it's okay to play the rookie game for two years in a row, and if you don't look at last year's champion Wall, he's just treated the same as Hayward now.
Rookies like Han Miao and Griffin who play in the main game in a row, well, this kind of people have a good life and can't be envied.
Stevens also paid attention to the All-Star, and his main concern was whether he had a chance to be an All-Star coach, but after looking at the results, he was not very hopeful.
The first place in the East is currently the Heat, even if the Heat have lost to the 76ers, they have won 3 more games than the 76ers, in this case, it should not be possible to recover this gap before the All-Star.
But he thought about it, there is no benefit to being an all-star head coach, it is not easy to manage a group of big stars and stars, and he can't take a vacation, so it is better to accompany his daughter at home!
Thinking about it like this, the coach suddenly felt that the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the world was so beautiful......
