In this year's All-Star Game, Sun Yue in the east, Yi Jianlian and Durant in the west unexpectedly entered the starter.

As a result, the already scarce All-Star spot has become even more scarce.

These three are recognized as having the strength to make it to the All-Star without an All-Star.

As a direct consequence, three players with All-Star strength will not be able to make the All-Star ranks.

Players with All-Star strength can't make it to All-Stars, which of course causes controversy!

On February 2, the league announced the final results of the 2008 All-Star Game, and the starting center on the Eastern side was Howard, the starting forwards were Garnett and James, and the starting guards were Arenas and Sun Yue.

The seven players off the bench are Iverson of the Pistons, Wade of the Heat, Ray Allen and Pierce of the Boston Celtics, Bosh of the Raptors, O'Neal of the Cavaliers, and Antoine Jamison of the Wizards.

Hawks Joe Johnson, who averaged 22+5+5 per game this season, was undrafted, Michael Reed, who averaged 25 points per game this season, was undrafted, and Joe Johnson and Michael Reid were not selected, but the two were not regulars in the NBA All-Stars, but the Pistons' Rashid Wallace was also undrafted.

Rasheed Wallace has been doing well with the Pistons this season.

If it weren't for Sun Yue occupying a starting position, Rasheed Wallace would definitely be on the All-Star bench.

Because of Sun Yue, Rashid Wallace missed out on the All-Star, which annoyed Pistons fans, but because Rashid Wallace's coffee position was not very sufficient, the impact on the league was actually not that big.

It was the West that really made the 2008 All-Star Game as hurricane-like.

The Western All-Stars started with center Yao Ming, forwards Yi Jianlian and Durant, and guards were Yes and Roy.

The All-Star bench lineup in the West is Nash, Smalls, Marion of the Suns, Maddy of the Rockets, Anthony of the Denver Nuggets, and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and Duncan of the Spurs.

After the All-Star lineup in the West came out, the public opinion of the entire NBA seemed to be crazy!

It's really not crazy, there are too many unsuccessful stars, superstars!

The 12 All-Stars in the West, the Suns and Rockets, two god-like teams this season, have both occupied three spots.

Supersound, the third in the west, occupies two positions.

The remaining 4 places are divided between the other 12 teams.

Now Yi Jianlian occupies another position, which means that the remaining 3 positions are divided by 11 teams.

Kobe, Duncan and Anthony, these three occupy the three only positions with almost no suspense.

So this season's Western All-Star losers include the Mavericks' new regular season MVP Nowitzki, the Grizzlies' former dunk king Carter, and the point guard who can average 20+10 per game this season, the league's new superstar Chris Paul, etc., as for the unselected star players, there are even more countless star players.

In the West, there are more than 20 All-Star players who can average 20+ points per game in the season!

This season, in addition to the league's scoring champion Durant was selected as an All-Star, the league's other individual kings, rebounding kings, block kings, assist kings, and steal kings all failed to be selected for the All-Star Game!

And all these kings are from the West!

Of course, the reason why this all-star lineup in the West has caused so much controversy is not just because there are a few superstars and stars who have not been selected.

Rather, only seven teams in the entire West have players who have made it to the All-Star List.

The 12 spots came from seven teams, and the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the host, did not make it to the tournament.

You know, before this list was announced, many people speculated that Chris Paul would definitely be an All-Star.

Chris Paul is now the league's assist and steal leader, and now averages 22 points, 12 assists and 2.9 steals per game.

Under his leadership, the Thunder now have a good regular season record and sit in eighth place in the West.

With such a result, not to mention squeezing Kobe Duncan and Anthony Medina down, and squeezing one of Xiaosi and Marion down, right?

However, it is clear that judging from the bench lineup announced by the league, the Suns' current record as the first in league history in the same period has a very big impact on the voting of the All-Star bench lineup.

As the most powerful team in history that is now being hyped, this team has not made a single player into the All-Star starters, which is very abnormal.

Since the starters can't get in, let's go on the bench.

The Suns have three players in this year's All-Star who came off the bench, which is a kind of compensation for the Suns!

At a time when the media and public opinion across the United States are hyping the Western All-Star lineup, thinking that Paul should replace Smalls, Carter should replace Marion, or Nowitzki can replace Smalls, etc., many professionals who participated in this vote did not feel any problems on their faces.

What does it mean to replace Xiao Si and Marion?

Even if Kobe, Duncan and Anthony are replaced, Smalls and Marion or Maddie are as stable as dogs.

If only one or two players make it to the All-Star level on such an all-time team, that's a crime!

What's more, Xiao Si averaged 24 points + 9 rebounds + 2 blocks per game, and Marion averaged 20 points + 10 rebounds + 2 steals + 2 blocks per game.

What are these two who are not as good as those who lost the draft?

Is it popular?

Popularity has never been a criterion for selecting a substitute.

Popularity is the criterion for selecting the starting lineup.

There are criteria for voters who vote.

But these voters are unlikely to come out and explain the controversy.

They're NBA head coaches, and there's no guarantee that they won't be able to coach the players they've picked out in the future.

In the NBA, the players are the ones who are in charge!

Even if they have thousands of reasons, they can only watch the controversy scatter now.

Now the entire NBA media and fans are embroiled in a controversy over who deserves to be an NBA All-Star.

The madness of confrontation and scolding is simply staggering.

However, this does not seem to have anything to do with the Seattle SuperSonics.

It's not that it doesn't matter, I don't know how long Durant has been scolded for entering the All-Star starter.

Now Durant himself doesn't care anymore.

And the other players, Rondo, Milicic and others are still sorry not to be on the All-Star bench list.

But looking at the bunch of names in the media, those names are really powerful.

These people have all been defeated, and even if they are so confident that they are arrogant, it is difficult for them to feel that they can replace these people.

Of course, being depressed is still somewhat depressing.

After the away game against the Suns on February 1, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to Seattle overnight.

After a series of previous devilish schedules, the Seattle SuperSonics can now finally get a little respite and rest.

The Seattle SuperSonics' recent devil's schedule isn't just about these three games against the Rockets and Suns.

Before these three games, the Seattle SuperSonics were against the Lakers, Spurs, Cavaliers, Hawks and a bunch of other big western powerhouses.

After wrapping up this rather devilish schedule, the Seattle SuperSonics now have a 39-8 record and sit in third place in the West.

It widened the gap with the Suns and Rockets, and at the same time narrowed the distance between the Lakers, Spurs, and Nuggets.

The Lakers, Spurs, and Nuggets now have a 35-11 record.

The battle for third and sixth place in the West has now entered a white-hot phase for these three teams.

The battle for third and sixth in the West?

Is it wrong?

These are two completely opposite rankings, okay?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with that.

For the Spurs, Lakers and Nuggets, their most desired spot right now is third in the West.

As long as they get the third place in the West and squeeze the current third place in the West to the sixth place in the West, then for these three teams, it seems that the first round is the first round like a guarantee.

It's really strange to say.

Neither the Spurs nor the Lakers Nuggets have a very good record against the SuperSonics.

But all three teams feel they can easily beat the SuperSonics in the playoffs.

However, it will not be so easy to squeeze the Seattle SuperSonics into sixth place.

The three-team win gap with the Seattle SuperSonics is now three-and-a-half games.

With almost 36 games left in the regular season, 36 games and a three-and-a-half-game win, there is a chance.

If you analyze it from the data, of course, there is a great opportunity.

It's just that, after last season's spectacle of three teams competing for fifth place in the West, how could they possibly be as optimistic as the data analysis.

You know, last season the SuperSonics were also one of the weakest teams in history.

The four teams competing for fifth place in the West last season were also the SuperSonics, Lakers, Spurs and Nuggets.

Last season's Western Conference battle for the top five was won by the Spurs.

But did the Spurs have a three-and-a-half-game advantage over the SuperSonics in the end?

Not to mention three and a half games, not even one and a half games!

The Spurs, Lakers, and Nuggets are indeed both above the Seattle SuperSonics.

But Yes's ability to lead the team is really rebellious in the regular season!

Now everyone generally accepts that the main reason why Yes's ability to lead the team is so strong is that Yes's comprehensiveness and perfection can be used to implement targeted playing styles and changes to opponents in each game of the regular season according to the differences of each opponent.

In the entire NBA, no team has such a regular targeted tactic in the regular season, and Yes and the SuperSonics, who play targeted tactics in every game, are indeed superior.

Even if the strength of supersonic speed is very weak, it can achieve quite a rebellious record under the drive of Yes.

After accepting Yes's results, the Spurs, Lakers and Nuggets are quite pessimistic.

Prior to the Seattle SuperSonics' three-game losing streak, the three teams had been preparing for the sixth.

After the third is occupied by the supersonic, the sixth is, of course, the best position.

The fourth and fifth have to fight each other, and it's going to be quite a tough fight.

And the sixth can hit the third supersonic, which is a pretty perfect position.

If finishing sixth in the West this season is just a matter of constant losing, those three teams are certainly starting to lose by now.

Unfortunately, the competition for the Western Conference playoffs this season is too fierce.

The Grizzlies, seventh in the West, now have a record of 33 wins and 13 losses, and they are not so far away from the Spurs, Lakers and Nuggets who are fourth, fifth and sixth in the West.

As long as the Lakers, Nuggets and Spurs really lose without any scruples, maybe they don't finish sixth in the West, and it is very likely that one of the three teams will be squeezed into seventh in the West.

And the seventh-place opponent in the West will be the god-like Rockets or the Suns this season!

This is definitely the worst-case scenario.

Even for these three teams, it is much more difficult to fight for the sixth than for the three.

Fighting for three requires constant wins, and nothing else needs to be considered.

And the battle for six is the victory or defeat is completely my fate, not my God.

If there is really hope of competing for the third, the Lakers, Spurs and Nuggets will certainly not compete for the sixth.

It's just that they really didn't have a chance before.

Now after three consecutive losses for the SuperSonics, they see such an opportunity.

So now all three teams are waiting for the SuperSonics' next record in the period before the All-Star break.

As long as the SuperSonics and their record continue to close before the All-Star, then these three teams will go all out to compete with the SuperSonics in the sprint after the All-Star.

If this period of time before the All-Star break, the Seattle SuperSonics and their record have not been closer, or even pulled away.

Then even if they are no longer willing to fight for six, they can only fight for six in the end.

This year's Western Conference regular season is really much more complicated than last season.

For many teams in the West right now, this season's regular season is really a desperate regular season.

Because of the Seattle SuperSonic's three-game losing streak, the SuperSonics have now been targeted by the Lakers, Spurs and Nuggets.

These three teams are waiting for the SuperSonics to drag the SuperSonics into the tie-break this season, just like the Spurs were dragged into the tie-break last season.

As for the ideas of teams like the Lakers, Spurs and Nuggets, the SuperSonics certainly know.

Both YES and the SuperSonics know that the Seattle SuperSonics really can't afford to lose anymore.

Losing again would really be the same as last season's Spurs.

On February 2, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics hosted the New York Knicks, who are now the second-to-last in the East.

It was a battle to stop the bleeding after three consecutive losses by the Seattle SuperSonics.

To the boos of the supersonic fans in the stadium, Nate Robinson and the New York Knicks were buried by the SuperSonics at Key Arena.

85-126, the New York Knicks lost by 41 points away from home!

And Nate Robinson was still flown by Yes once in this game.

In the NBA, a player being played like this by another player will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction and sympathy.

But if this person is Nate Robinson, many people think that Yes could actually be a little more murderous.

Once you understand the feud between Nate Robinson and Yes and the Garfield Five, no one will think that Nate Robinson is innocent.

Nate Robinson has been named the most hated athlete in the nation by ESPN and TNT, as well as ABC and CBS for two years in a row.

Look at the score on the big screen of the scene.

Listening to the crowd at the scene after the game, the Seattle fans were still abusing him like a carnival.

Nate Robinson was really scared...... He knew it wasn't the end.

Born to be strong, he once again had a deep regret and despair.

He could have easily been assisted by Yes to become Durant, to be the scoring champion, to be the assist king, to become an All-Star, to become a superstar......

But all of this was ruined by his greed and forcible ......
