At the end of the halfway of the shrinking season, the Eastern Heat is dominant, the Western Clippers, Spurs, and Thunder are three-legged, and as for the Lakers, who were once kings, they are hovering in the fourth and fifth!

The first half of the schedule can be said to be tight! The league arranges a particularly dense schedule for this star game. Every year Star Weekend generates a lot of financial benefits, and Stern doesn't want to miss out on the opportunity to make money.

This year's All-Star Game voting has been simplified, not to mention the shortened voting time due to the shutdown, and the number of All-Star votes has also dropped a lot! The only thing that has not diminished is the sponsorship of manufacturers and Chinese fans.

Huang Yu became the All-Star Western Ticket King, with a total of more than 1.7 million votes, while the Eastern Ticket King was Howard with more than 1.6 million votes.

Other balloon stars Kobe Bryant and Rose are all more than 1.5 million, and James's popularity has declined slightly after forming the Big Three, with less than 1.5 million.

The 2012 All-Star was held in Orlando, and Howard was obviously a little disappointed that he almost became the ticket king, but now that he is in tension with the Magic, he has no heart and no lungs and will not make enemies everywhere! And the Clippers, which he had always looked down on, are now a good choice.

There is a backcourt composed of Paul and Huang Yu on the outside, if he sits on the inside, it is a proper Big Three model, and they still have chips to change themselves, Griffin believes that the magic uniform team can't stand such a temptation!

Soon the league announced the East and West starters and bench lists.

The Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard won the Eastern Conference with 1,600,390 votes and became the starting center of the Eastern Conference All-Star, and the second most voted in the Eastern Conference was Chicago Bulls star Rose (1.514.723 votes), Rose, Wade, James and Anthony each occupied the other spots on the Eastern Conference All-Star starting list.

All five players started the last All-Star Game (with Anthony playing for the Western Conference All-Stars at the time). The Eastern Conference All-Star bench is Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Bosh, and first-time All-Star Iguodala, Lore Deng and Roy Hibbert.

The most voted in the Western Conference was the Los Angeles Clippers' Yellow Rain (1,720,516), followed by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, who received 1.5 million votes (1,555,479) this year and started 14 Western Conference All-Star games in 2012.

Kobe, Paul, and Duran were the starters in the West, and Andrew Bynum was also selected as the starting list for the first time. The Western Conference All-Star bench is Nash, Westbrook, Parker, Kevin Love, Nowitzki, and first-time All-Star Aldridge and Gasol Jr.

And the Eastern Conference All-Star head coach is Spoelstra of the Heat! In the West, it's Thunder coach Stoke Brooks!

The 2012 Rookie Challenge will feature a mix of first- and second-year players, with TNT TV commentators Charles Barkley and "Big Shark" O'Neal serving as general managers of both teams, and they will each select nine players from the shortlist through the draft on February 16 local time.

In addition, the head coach of both teams will be the head assistant coach of the coaching staff of the Eastern and Western All-Star Game, and Barkley and O'Neal's colleagues on TNT TV, Mike Flatrow and Steve Cole, will also join the coaching staff of both teams. The specifics are that Fratro helps Ross Barkley's team and Kerr helps O'Neal's team. There is also the night of the draft on February 16, local time, "Magic" Johnson will be the host, and Kenny Smith will be the honorary chairman.

The sparrow is small, but the internal organs are very complete! This model is simply the configuration of the draft, except that they are members of the rookie competition!

----------

The shark told everyone in the world with a short video after the end of last season that this ferocious shark was retired and no longer playing! However, his signing with TNT soon broke, and he himself admitted that he would continue to entertain the NBA players elsewhere.

Of course, Big McGee was the first victim, allowing a center forward with decent potential to be completed by O'Neal as an off-line player.

Although the league sent an invitation letter hoping that Huang Yu would participate in the three-point contest! Huang Yu hesitated for a moment and didn't refuse, the head coach of this year's All-Star West Force is the Thunder, although Huang Yu is the ticket king, he still won't play too much, how to say that the coach of the Thunder also has to take care of his own people! So Huang Yu doesn't plan to play much time in the All-Star this year, if it weren't for his own ticket king, Huang Yu wouldn't be able to cheat and get hurt.

So wouldn't it be nice to say that the three-point contest champion completed an alternative three-in-a-row championship! Who let Huang Yu do something in 10 years and deliberately missed the three-point shot! As for the invitation to the skill and slam dunk contest, Huang Yu ignored it, tired or not!

This year's All-Star Huang Yu's idea is one, mix! If you can't play, you won't play, if the thunder comes out of the moth, then Huang Yu won't play directly like last year! At that time, it was the Thunder who was unlucky and unlucky, not himself, and he didn't feel guilty at all about pitting Westbrook Huang Yu, anyway, until Huang Yu crossed, he didn't win the championship in the Thunder, and after acquiring the Clippers next year, ask him if he is interested in coming over and joining forces!

----------

The star weekend will be held at the new Amway Center in Orlando, so the Clippers went directly to Orlando after the game ended on the 23rd, and others had to come to the event on vacation, but fortunately, Abby asked for permission from the Hornacek couple to go to Orlando with Huang Yu! So the top hotels of the alliance are rough! Huang Yu made a direct call to Hilton and booked a luxury business suite! As for the presidential suite, Huang Yu won't spend that kind of unjust money, and Abby won't allow it!

Huang Yu and Abby watched the revised rookie game with great interest, although they were not very familiar with O'Neal, but when the team was behind, O'Neal directly picked up a rookie's clothes and threw them to Huang Yu and let him play! But Huang Yu didn't have a bird, he directly threw his clothes back, and raised his two feet, and a pair of black and white sneakers directly shocked O'Neal's eyes.

O'Neill's eyes turned red when he saw these shoes, of course he knew that these shoes were his last shoes in Magic, Shaqnosis produced by Reebok! (Most of the domestic calls it annual rings) this pair of shoes can be found to be so well preserved, it is very rare, and the pair at O'Neal's house may not be as neat as this pair, after all, the pair at home was worn by O'Neal against Jordan back then, and there must be a place of wear.

But soon O'Neill reacted, now is not the time to sensationalize, and gave Huang Yu a thumbs up, which means that you have a good eye for collecting these shoes, and even O'Neill reached out to wipe the dust that didn't exist.

Barkley started the game with a wave of 8-0. Wall and Irving led the way, sending out all sorts of wonderful passes, and teammates continued to dunk, and soon extended the advantage to 53-39. At the end of the quarter, the Shaq team entered the state, Morris dunked back to color, and Kerr and Walker scored baskets one after another, once narrowing the gap to 4 points. However, Irving exploded, hitting three three-pointers in one minute, and he hit four three-pointers in the final 2:30 of the quarter to score 18 points at halftime and lead the team 77-65.

Jeremy Lin reappeared in the second half, and nearly three minutes later, he received a pass from Rubio and quickly cut to the basket and made a backhand layup, which was his first and only score. Barkley led the game. After Shaq tied the score at 89-100, Brooks and Favors scored back-to-back baskets, while Hayward dunked, and Brooks hit a three-pointer to take an 18-point advantage at 109-91. The game entered the decisive stage, and the Shaq team began to be more serious, hitting frequent three-point shots, but could only narrow the gap to 11 points, and finally failed to turn the tables.

Kyrie Irving had 34 points and nine assists and made 8 of 8 three-pointers. Paul George had 23 points, DeMarcus Cousins had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Evan Turner had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists and John Wall had 17 points.

In the end, Barkley defeated O'Neal 146-133, and Irving, the Clippers' top pick, was elected MVP.

----------

In the skills challenge on the second day, Huang Yu wore sportswear and Abby stood for Westbrook first, and the shoes were still the same pair of annual rings! But it's a pity that Westbrook made consecutive mistakes and missed the championship.

Rajon Rondo came in for the injured Joe Johnson and made his first appearance in the preliminaries, and he went relatively well, completing the task in 32.8 seconds. Immediately after his debut, Kyrie Irving, didn't go well, his first pass was unsuccessful, and it took 42.2 seconds to escape the fate.

Deron Williams was the preliminaries, and all the moves were one-time passes, taking just 28.8 seconds. Russell Westbrook hit the ground twice to make a successful pass, and finally it took 33.8 seconds, knowing that Westbrook was out of play, Huang Yu stood up and applauded him, but Kevin Durant on the side gave him a standing ovation, and the two immediately looked at each other, which made the media beat wildly! The next day it made headlines.

Tony Parker also had a pass in 29.2 seconds. John Wall didn't go well, and when he had no hope of qualifying, he wanted to finish with a dunk, but the basketball was out of his hands, and it took more time to pick it up and dunk again.

Rondo had a rough run in the final, with four land-hitting passes taking him a final time of 34.6 seconds. Parker was much smoother, only using one more pass to the ground, with a final time of 32.8 seconds.

Williams, who won the 2008 championship, was hilarious, and he had a smooth first half, but when it came to the shooting he was good at, he had problems with three consecutive shots, and only succeeded in the fourth time, and finally finished with a time of 41.4 seconds, unfortunately missing out on the championship, and Parker finally won the championship with a modest result.

Just after the skills competition, Huang Yu returned to his seat and took out a new pair of sneakers directly from under the seat! A pair of sneakers that resemble annual rings appear in everyone's eyes, but the classic color of annual rings is black and white, and Huang Yu's pair is a pure black background color, a pair of gold patterns, and a pair of silver patterns, the shape is very similar to the TMAC-3 that Adi gave Maddie back then, but that pair of shoes is Maddie's deliberate way of mixing and matching, and the shape of Huang Yu's shoes is like two electric drill bits!

However, when Huang Yu was warming up with a shot, many people found that after Huang Yu jumped, his feet were like two black whirlwinds holding up Huang Yu.
