This season the East has basically been a triwizard tournament, at least for the first third of the season. However, the 76ers have fallen to the third place in the East, and there is even a possibility that they will be overtaken by the fourth-place Pacers.

The reason why they have not been able to continue their strong dominance in previous seasons is mainly due to the fact that the main players have suffered more or less injuries, and the only main player who still maintains full attendance is Reid. Although Reed did not renew his contract with the 76ers early, his professionalism is still commendable, and his average of 23.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game is also impressive.

It's a pity that he can't save the 76ers alone, and injuries are a big problem for any team, whether it's a minor injury or a serious injury that can cost a player a season, the head coach will have a big headache. To bring the 76ers, who have players injured from time to time, to the top three in the East, it can be seen that O'Brien still has two brushes.

But none of this has anything to do with the Pistons, who have shown great strength since the beginning of the season and are firmly in first place in the East. And now the Pistons' game can obviously be divided into two distinct parts, as long as Brown sends a substitute, it is an aggressive, fast-paced offense, but if it is the main force, it is a positional battle that is too safe to be safe. The huge difference in style gave their opponents a headache every time, and it was difficult to react in a timely manner during the match.

The Pistons' stellar performance continued until the All-Star voting began, and their record of being first in the East helped them win quite a few votes. Of course, the most important thing is that they play better in the game, which also attracts a lot of neutral fans. On top of that, the Pistons' record would essentially ensure that Brown is the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star.

Brown is actually not very interested in this errand, he has been the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star when he was with the 76ers a few years ago, and next year's All-Star can be said to be almost all old faces except for the rookies who have only joined in the past few seasons, and there is nothing new in coaching, so his focus is still on how many people are selected by the Pistons.

Last season, the Pistons had a good record, but it was only Big Ben who ended up being selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star, which is a bit strange. It stands to reason that Hamilton, who once made a name for himself next to Jordan, is more likely to be an All-Star than him, but the Pistons are the only ones who wear the All-Star jersey in the East, which makes Brown feel more or less unhappy.

However, this time the first-round voting of the All-Star gave him a boost of spirits, and the Pistons' starting five all entered the top 10 at their respective positions, and Prince, a tall, and thin man who has always been reticent, also ranked sixth at the Eastern Conference forward position. Of course, the one with the most votes is Big Ben, who is temporarily ranked first in the All-Star center position in the East, but this is also related to the lack of excellent interior players in the East, and in the West, the competition for this position is the fiercest, at least one of them.

After getting a little excited about the results of the All-Star Voting, the Pistons refocused on the upcoming regular season, for whom the championship was much more interesting than the All-Star Championship. The two rookies who were only drafted this year are interested in the All-Star Stars, but they will need some time to hone in before they can make it to the main game.

It's not that other Eastern Conference teams haven't coveted the No. 1 position in the East, but their overall strength is still a bit far behind the Pistons, and several teams that are capable have suffered more or less from injuries. However, because of Chang Wei's existence, the Pistons players can basically maintain full attendance, and even if they are not full attendance, they only take a game or two off because of minor problems, which has no impact on the team, on the contrary, it can further create chemistry in the team. In fact, for Brown, as long as there are no major players who have to miss a dozen or twenty games, the season is still in his control.

Chang Wei doesn't pay much attention to the votes of the Pistons players, judging from the current record and style of the Pistons, it is normal for multiple people to be selected as All-Stars, and in the previous life, the Pistons also tried to be selected as All-Stars, although they are all substitutes and in the 05-06 season, but the current Pistons are obviously stronger than in the previous life, and it is normal to have multiple people selected as All-Stars in advance.

Sure enough, the Pistons still achieved the feat of four being selected as All-Stars this time, and the only one who was not selected was Prince, which is not surprising, Prince is mainly on the outside of the Pistons lineup, and there are not many highlights in the data except for steals, it is normal that he is not favored by fans, and he himself does not care very much about whether he can be selected as an All-Star.

Brown's favorite thing is Prince's calm mood, as a defender, Prince basically does not inspire his teammates on the court, even if he disrupts the opponent's offense, he will only silently devote himself to the next defense. He's low-key but ubiquitous on the court, which is exactly what Brown is looking for in his players, so Prince can squeeze out the more experienced Simmons and become an integral part of the team.

Of course, with the star flavor of the Pistons players, it is basically difficult to become an All-Star starter, except for Big Ben, the other three are selected for the Eastern All-Star bench. In addition, Wade and Dior were also selected for the Rookie Challenge without any suspense, and as a sophomore, Prince was also selected for the Rookie Challenge, but he was only on the sophomore team.

The selection of the four All-Stars quickly caused an uproar across the United States, but when they saw the Pistons' record, they all kept their mouths shut. The Pistons deserve to be selected as an All-Star with the strength of a player, but not being a starter also means that they lack star flavor, and the All-Star is also a feast for fans, and fans want to see a wonderful offense, the more tricks, the better, and this is what the Pistons lack the most. Big Ben became the starting center is an exception, first, there is still no good center in the East, and second, everyone likes to watch him fan out the opponent's shots, so most people are still full of destruction in their hearts, and it is logical to select Big Ben as an All-Star starter for two consecutive years.

Brown is very happy that the selection of four players under his command means that he has the weapon to chase points in the last moments of the All-Star break, and he doesn't care whether he cares about it or not, for the old coach, the victory of any game is to be fought for with all his might, and the Pistons quartet undoubtedly gave a new insurance to the victory of this game.
