And Yi Jianlian is not wrong at all, in the next few games, the New York team won all the way, winning 10 consecutive wins, which is also the first time they have reached double digits in the new season.

After a 10-game winning streak, the starting lineup for the 2012 All-Star Weekend was announced.

Yi Jianlian became the king of votes.

He also officially became the second player after Vince Scott to win the All-Star ticket for more than two consecutive years.

The final All-Star lineup in the East is point guard Derrick Rose, scoring guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Yi Jianlian, and center Howard;

The final All-Star lineup in the West is point guard Chris Paul, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Kevin Durant, forward Griffin, and center Bynum;

Bynum's selection in the final starting lineup is a first time, and a sign that at least there is no longer a representative of the center position in the West!

It was also a signal, although many people didn't notice it at the time.

But it's really a signal: the traditional center forward is about to officially retire from the era.

If I really want to say it, Bynum actually has the potential to carry the flag, but his free self has harmed himself!

……

New York's final game before All-Star Weekend was an away game against Cleveland.

A year later, I came back to the depressed city and looked out the window from the team bus, and the blow to the city from LeBron James' departure was still there.

Of course, the impact of such a superstar and the departure of players who can influence the entire league must be far-reaching for a small city!

The effects of this sudden departure are not something that can be dissipated in a year or two.

But it is undeniable that this influence is now slowly disappearing, especially when he came to the Quickloan Arena and looked at the audience at this stadium, Yi Jianlian knew that the city was completing their reconstruction.

The excitement of Cleveland fans is not without reason!

They drafted Duke University's Kyrie Irving this year, and the ball-handling guard in the league was already known as a superstar in the nation before he even entered the league!

And after the Cavaliers selected him, they were also excited.

Kyrie Irving's current performance is really good, as of the start of this game, this guy is averaging 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, firmly occupying the first place on the best rookie list.

Such a personal performance is almost close to LeBron James back then!

And this kind of performance also makes Cavaliers fans no longer care about the record, they just hope that Kyrie Irving can continue to play strongly!

Anyway, LeBron James didn't lead the team to the playoffs in the new season, so they don't demand too much.

The game was soon underway.

Because of the difference in strength between the two teams, the two teams quickly widened the gap, and at halftime, the New York team led by 12 points.

Judging from the situation of the New York team after so many long games, the half-time difference is more than double digits, and they generally don't need to use much force to win it!

However, the atmosphere of the fans at the scene was not gloomy because the game was 12 points behind, but the Cleveland fans were very excited, because Kyrie Irving still played well in the first half of this game, and all kinds of dribbling played the Knicks' No. 1 position, and they cheered one after another.

At halftime, Kyrie Irving had nine points and four assists, and if nothing else, he could still average today.

He's still doing consistently, and that's enough!

Finally, the competition is officially over.

Kyrie Irving's performance also lived up to the expectations of Cleveland fans, with a total of 18 points and seven assists, and the entire crowd cheered the future Cleveland owner off the court as he left.

Yi Jianlian only played 3 quarters in this game and easily scored 30 points.

Because of the long time in the last game, D'Antoni simply did not let him play again in the fourth quarter. He watched the ball off the field for 12 minutes.

……

After playing this game, Yi Jianlian and the New York team players did not go back to New York together, but flew to Orlando alone, and the next thing was the All-Star Weekend, and this year's All-Star Weekend was held in Orlando!

It is said that Yi Jianlian grabbed Howard another ticket king, and Orlando fans finally waited for another All-Star weekend that belonged to them, and they also worked very hard to get Howarddella tickets, but as a result, the ticket king was still Yi Jianlian, no different from two years ago.

The only difference may be that these Orlando fans are not noisy or noisy, and accept this fact very resignedly.

The first day of the All-Star Game is the Masters Game and the Rookie Challenge.

As always, the Celebrity Contest invited many well-known celebrities outside the circle, and in the end, Bieber, who sang "Baby", won the MVP of the final Celebrity Competition.

The Rookie Challenge that followed was the first overhaul of the All-Star Game, and this time instead of first-year students challenging second-year students, it was a mix of two rookies and a messy battle.

What is the use of such a reform, it is definitely impossible to see it just by one game!

This will take time.

However, from what Yi Jianlian knows, this has not changed anything, because the rookie game is a big limitation, even last year's Griffin, after watching his dunks too much, his influence is decreasing.

The rookie game is really not so easy to reform!

However, the second day of the challenge attracted a lot of attention.

Yi Jianlian did not participate in a challenge this time, he could have added a skill challenge, so that he could have become the first player in NBA history to win all three major events, but he finally declined the league's invitation, after all, he knew that next year's All-Star will be the home of the New York team, and it will be more meaningful for him to participate again when the time comes, so that the fans of the home team can witness that moment.

Because of this, he sat on the sidelines with great ease, watching the players on the field compete for the title of the three major challenge tournaments.

In the end, Tony Parker won the Skills Challenge.

It is worth mentioning that Deron Williams participated in the Skills Challenge again after leaving Salt Lake City, falling out with his mentor, and his popularity declined greatly, perhaps for this reason, he participated in the Skills Challenge again after many years, but in the shooting part that he was better at in the past, this time he failed to shoot and unfortunately lost.

The winner of the three-point shooting contest was Kevin Love.

It's a staggering result, because Kevin Love didn't have a three-pointer before, but he practiced a three-point shot in just a few years.

He even won the three-point shooting contest!

This is also the first time in many years that an inside player has won the championship.
