Chapter 245: Eastern Appearance
The fourth player is Ye Feng, who has 18.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks so far this season, and is the most questioned All-Star in the East.
However, because there was already a precedent for Yao Ming last year, it was not so shocking.
What's more, Ye Feng's performance in the same period is far better than Yao Ming's, and there are still many highlight moments.
0.5 seconds lore piston.
He scored 14 points in overtime, setting an NBA overtime personal scoring record.
The fastest player in the league to make 100 three-pointers.
Won the championship with a perfect score in the three-point contest.
The fifth appearance was Ben Wallace from the Pistons.
With 9.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.0 blocks per game, Big Ben has no doubt that his scoring ability is the worst of all All-Stars.
But when it comes to defensive ability, he's one of the strongest.
Even if you look at the entire history of the NBA, Big Ben's defensive ability can be ranked first.
Besides, Yao sharks compete in the west, but there is no one in the east who can handle it.
Mutombo is old, Mourning is plagued by kidney disease, and there is no one to compete with Big Ben.
......
After that, it was the Western Conference All-Star appearance.
The first to appear was Nowitzki from the Mavericks.
With 21.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks this season, Nuo Tianwang has begun to show his superstar temperament.
While most coaches don't like the big man who floats outside to shoot, Nuo Tianwang is sticking to his own path, one that no superstar has ever walked.
Of course, his popularity is still not good, the cheers are not loud, but the boos are not small.
Who called the Mavericks a rival of the Lakers, Lakers fans would naturally boo him.
The second to appear is Sem Cassel from the Timberwolves, and the veteran should have made it to the All-Star in terms of strength, but it has never materialized.
He is 33 years old this year, and he has finally achieved his dream of being an All-Star.
This season, Kassel has 21.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.2 steals, and is a strong assistant to the Wolves.
The third is Brad Miller, an inside lineman from the Kings.
Miller was greeted with boos as well, after all, the Kings are also one of the Lakers' tough opponents.
Brad Miller is averaging 15.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season, making him one of the league's most versatile interior players.
Hand-to-hand combat under the basket, grabbing rebounds, outside organization, and shooting three-pointers, Miller is a good player, worthy of being the person who follows the legendary center Divac.
The fourth to appear was Miller's teammate Peja, who naturally booed.
Peja averaged 25.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season, ranking third on the scoring list and in the limelight.
But anyone who knows Peja knows that he's a regular-season player who can go haywires in the playoffs, which is deadly.
The fifth player is Ray Allen from the SuperSonics, who is averaging 22.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game so far this season.
There is no doubt about Ray Allen's strength, otherwise he would not have been selected as an All-Star by the coach for many years in a row.
As for popularity, never made it to an All-Star starter, and that says it all.
The sixth to appear was Andrei Kirilenko of the Jazz.
The Russian averaged 16.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 3.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.8 assists per game this season and was also selected as an All-Star for the first time.
The 23-year-old has a bright future ahead of him and is seen as the most promising player to reach a five-double after Olajuwon.
The seventh and last place on the bench is naturally the "Big Shark" O'Neal.
This is the Lakers, O'Neal's turf.
Although Yao Ming snatched the starter, in terms of popularity, O'Neill did not lose to anyone at all.
He played better than everyone before.
Averaging 20.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game this season, the Sharks seem to be getting a little old.
But he can ramp up the basket at any home court in the NBA whenever he wants, and no one can stop him.
After coming off the bench, he started the game.
The first to appear was "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett.
He averaged 24.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, and the team was 37-15.
The second to appear is "Stone Buddha" and "Great Basic Skills" Tim Duncan.
With 23.1 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 1.0 steals and 2.7 blocks, Duncan's stats are a little worse than Garnett's, but no one will doubt his strength.
A guy who goes to the draft, and all the teams are rotten for him.
The Cardinals lost him and directly fired the Celtics coach.
The rookie is the peak, the peak is also the peak, and the person who is also the peak in the last years.
The third to appear is Yao Ming from the Rockets.
The boos that greeted Yao Ming were loud, O'Neal's main opponent, how could the Los Angeles fans give him a good look.
With an average of 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 blocks per game so far this season, Yao Ming's data is still far from other superstars, but who told him to bring his own oriental magic.
The fourth is Francis, Yao Ming's teammate.
Boss Fu was too strong at his peak to be unstoppable, and with Yao Ming's blessing, it is logical for him to start as an All-Star.
The fifth person, before he appeared, the audience erupted in huge cheers.
That's right, Kobe Bryant is here.
Some people may say that the Lakers are still O'Neal's Lakers, but only compared to popularity, Kobe Bryant easily crushed O'Neal.
This season, he averaged 21.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, which is not gorgeous, after all, Malone and Payton shared a lot of the ball with him.
So far, all 24 All-Stars have appeared.
After a series of interactions, the game is about to begin.
The five starters in the West wear red jerseys: Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Francis, what needs to be said about the strength of this lineup?
The five starters in the East wore blue jerseys: Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., Carter, Iverson, and Ye Feng.
The eastern troops are also very good, but they are much worse than the western ones.
Judging by their height alone, the eastern troops lagged far behind the west.
The "three highs" in the west can blow up any interior combination in the east.
The inner line in the east is a shortage of major generals, and only O'Neill Jr. has a height of 210 cm in the first lineup, and the other four are all "dwarfs".
Big Ben and Yao Ming walked to the final logo, and the other 8 people stood in their respective positions, and the game officially began.
Honk~
In the end, Yao Ming outperformed Big Ben in the jump ball and won the right to attack for the Western Army.
Francis dribbled forward, and the red No. 3 held the ball and did not dare to push too hard, after all, the team had three highs.
Garnett is okay and has a fast running speed, but Yao Ming and Duncan are both positional players, and their running speed is worrying.
Defending Francis is Iverson, although the physical gap is too big, but it is still a little smaller than defending Kobe.
Francis is already one size smaller than Kobe, but he is still far larger than Iverson.
It's just an All-Star game, and most of them are performances, so you don't have to defend too tightly.
Iverson let go of the distance and let Francis play.
