Chapter 776: 2016 NBA All-Star Bench List (Fourth Update!) )
'We've got a lot to sum up but it's just one game, we have a 50 per cent chance of winning and losing and I'm hoping to play them again in the finals and we'll be fully ready.'
Despite the loss, James was in a good state of mind after the game.
After all, although there are many off-court factors and a lot of attention, this game is just a regular season game in the end.
Just like winning the Warriors, winning is a good thing to boost morale, but losing is actually just losing.
And from the words, you can also hear James's dissatisfaction with losing the game, if the two sides play seven games, he is still confident that he will lead the team to win.
"Before today's game, WOJ broke the news that the Heat's 2011 draft abandonment of Don had something to do with you, is that true?"
The troublesome fox sports reporter asked.
When he asked, the reporters in the audience were agitated.
James raised an eyebrow and glanced at the reporter, as if he was going to kill the other party.
"Next question."
He didn't give a positive answer, and chose to ignore it.
Such a reaction caused an even greater uproar in the audience.
In fact, there is already an answer to this question when it is asked, and James does not deny it by default.
It's really a good show to watch this time.
In another room, the Pelicans are also holding a press conference.
Tang Tian played an eye-catching role tonight and became the object of questions from a group of media.
In addition to the daily blowing, there are also reporters who ask the same question.
"What do you think of the news that LeBron agreed with the Heat to drop your draft in the 2011 draft?"
"That's not a bad thing."
Tang Tianyi's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
"If I go to the Heat, I can't come to the Pelicans, I can't come to the Pelicans, I can't play like I did tonight and win the game, so now look at what happened and that's not a bad thing."
His next words drew laughter from the reporters in the audience.
Tang Tian obviously cares, but there is nothing wrong with saying this, for Pelican fans, they really have to be glad that the Heat did not choose Tang Tian in the first place.
The Pelican War is over, but the topic between James and Tang Tian is not.
Even as the season progresses, they will only keep mentioned.
Or really, as James said, wait for the two teams to have a chance to meet in the Finals to determine the winner, and then it will be over.
But before that, the old feud between Tang Tian and James, after two years of silence, re-entered the attention of fans and the media.
After the Pelicans and Cavaliers game, the league also announced the East and West bench rosters for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game.
The list is also on the radar of fans, especially in the West, where competition has been brutal after a slew of stars traveled west last summer.
The All-Star bench is selected by the league's coaches, and record is a big factor they consider.
January is approaching, and the league is more than halfway through the schedule, and by this time the pattern of East and West has already taken shape.
In the East, the Cavaliers are in first place with 34 wins and 9 losses.
The Knicks are second with 29 wins and 15 losses.
The Heat are third with 25 wins and 18 losses.
The Raptors are also 25-18, but are fourth in place due to their head-to-head record.
The Hornets are 23-20 and ranked fifth.
Although bloodied twice by the Pelicans, this was Walker's best season with the Hornets.
The Pacers are sixth with a 22-21 record.
The Hawks have a seventh-best record of 21-22.
Last season's No. 1 team basketball team basketball seems to be unable to escape this peak decline.
The Celtics are eighth with 20 wins and 22 losses.
The final bench for the Eastern Conference is: Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love (Cavaliers), Dwight Howard (Knicks), DeMard Rozan (Toronto Raptors), Kemba Walker (Hornets), Paul Millsap (Atlanta Hawks), John Wall (Washington Wizards).
The most noteworthy on this list is Kemba Walker, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career.
Of course, the East also has a lot to lose this year, and the Heat's Hassan Whiteside, who averaged 13.5 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game this season.
There are also Horford of the Hawks, Russell of the Nets, Drummond of the Pistons, etc.
However, this is the NBA All-Star Game, and there are only 12 spots in total, and it is inevitable that the pearl will be lost.
However, Whiteside was a little emotional after the defeat, and he posted a status post on social media.
"It's weird, I get very confused at times, are All-Stars selected based on data? Or according to the record? ”
It's no surprise that Whiteside had this reaction, and he admitted that the West was very competitive when he was with the Pelicans.
But in the East, his stats stand out among centers, and the Heat have a good record, but he didn't make the All-Star selection.
Whiteside's rhetoric was aggressive, but he didn't need to be that excited, because there were so many more missing points on the western side than in the east.
In the West, the Pelicans have a 41-4 record that leads the league.
The Warriors have a second-place record of 39-5.
As the record shows, both the Pelicans and the Warriors have been quite perverted this year.
The Spurs have a third-place record of 35 wins and 10 losses.
The Rockets have a fourth-place record of 34-11.
The Thunder have a third-win 12-3 record.
The Trail Blazers have a sixth-best record of 31-14.
The Mavericks have a seventh-best record of 27-18.
The Grizzlies have an eighth-record record of 26-19.
The Clippers have a 25-20 record that ranks ninth.
The Jazz have a 10th record of 22-22.
The western side is ten into eight, and the rest of the teams have a dismal record that can't be watched.
The final bench in the West is: Anthony Davis (Pelicans), Klay Thompson (Warriors), LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs), James Harden, Chris Paul (Rockets), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Blake Griffin (Clippers).
This year, the competition in the West has never been more brutal, and none of the teams like the Trail Blazers, Mavericks, and Grizzlies who squeezed into the top eight have been selected.
Whiteside was upset with himself, but the Heat Wade was in.
And there are really a lot of missing pearls, Jokic of the Pelicans, Green of the Warriors, Duncan of the Spurs, Cousins of the Rockets, Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Jimmy Butler of the Mavericks, Nowitzki, Embiid, Harris, Gasol Jr. of the Grizzlies, Jordan Jr. of the Clippers, and Hayward of the Jazz.
This set of unselected lineups alone is not weaker than the substitute list in the East.
Especially Lillard, the eternal jewel, who is much more aggrieved than Whiteside.
However, instead of posting on social media like Whiteside, he is holding back his energy to prove himself in the next matches. Fupin Chinese
