Chapter 719 [Magical Four Loses, I Don't Want to Participate]

With 16 fewer regular-season games in the NBA shutdown, All-Star Weekend was not canceled at the new Amway Center in Orlando.

Magic center Dwight Howard was crowned the vote king with 1.6 million votes.

This is too weird, because the Magic's current record is only eighth in the East, and Howard's underwear is about to lose when he leads the team, just because he often plays weak teams and cuts double 20 data, which is the most popular star in the NBA?

Obviously, the league has swiped Howard's ticket, and everyone knows that he will part ways with the Magic team after this season, and a star vote king can increase his trade value, leave something for the Magic, and create more influence.

Stern is worried that Howard will not play well after leaving the Magic, so he will blow a cowhide first, and then he can continue to attract fans no matter where the league's No. 1 center goes.

The season is not over yet, and many media outlets have begun to predict where Howard will go, and this celebrity weekend, stars who are interested in teaming up with him will definitely take the opportunity to show goodwill and solicit.

The only person who doesn't take Howard to heart is Yang Rui, who doesn't think Howard is much better than the Clippers' current center Tyson Chandler.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Howard left the Magic to join the Lakers in 2012, which involved a total of four parties, which is a unique "magical four-lose" transaction in NBA history, which can be recorded in history.

In the previous season, the Lakers were third in the Western Conference and semifinals in the Western Conference. Got Howard, Dujon and Clark.

The Nuggets were sixth in the West and in the first round in the West and got Iguodala.

The Magic were sixth in the East Division, the first round in the Eastern Conference, and got a bunch of role players.

The 76ers were eighth in the East, and the Black Eight Bulls advanced to the second round and got Bynum and Richardson.

At that time, it was generally seen that the Magic were the biggest losers, and the other three teams had gains, especially the Lakers.

As a result, a year later, the situation changed, and the group of players involved in the trade fell like a curse.

Howard couldn't adapt to the Lakers' style of play, and only entered the playoffs at the last moment, was swept out by the Spurs, Howard fell out with Kobe Bryant, and joined the Rockets on a free basis, and the Lakers have since been reduced to a fish belly.

The Nuggets finished third in the West in the regular season and looked pretty good, but they were won by the Warriors in the first round, which directly led to George Karl's resignation, Iguodala's departure, and the Nuggets have since joined the fish belly army.

After the Magic lost Howard, they never made the playoffs until Yang Rui was reborn, and they have always been a strong contender for the top pick, and what they can't compete for is the 76ers who got the "wash, blow and cut little shark" in the trade.

The bloody transaction was like four people playing mahjong, there were losses and wins, but they suddenly encountered the public security to catch the gambling, and all the gambling funds were confiscated, not to mention, and they were detained together for 15 days.

The other four starters in the East are Deron Williams (Nets), Wade, James (Cavaliers), Carmelo Anthony (Knicks).

After Deron joined the Nets, he came and went from time to time and played better than when he was with the Bobcats. And he was smoothed out by the Bobcat, and he was not as arrogant as Yang Rui in his previous life, and dared to argue with the coach.

Seven substitutes: Yao Ming (Nets), Andre Iguodala (76ers), Pierce (Celtics), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Bosh (Cavaliers), Derrick Rose (Bulls), Vince Carter (Raptors).

Yao Ming played only 28.4 minutes, and the statistics declined, but the number of votes was only slightly inferior to Howard's loss of starters.

Carter's return to the All-Star has become the emotional responsibility of this weekend. His stats weren't pretty, averaging just 15.8 points, 5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 46.1 percent from the field, 39.6 percent from three-point range and 81.3 percent from the free throw line.

He was selected because of his loyalty, plus he brought two championships to the Raptors.

Before you know it, Carter is a veteran, he has no shortage of championships, no shortage of personal honors, and has become a symbol of Toronto. His loyalty has won the affection of the fans and the admiration of the coaches. He is also one of the players who has shot the most three-pointers in NBA history, much better than Yang Rui in his previous life.

Because he had everything, Carter's idea was simple, he wanted to start from scratch in Canada.

The Eastern Conference coach is Frank Vogel of the Pacers, and according to the rules, coach Adelman can't be re-elected last season.

The starting five in the West: Paul, Griffin (Clippers), Westbrook, Durant (Thunder), Marc Gasol (Mavericks).

Sub seven: Tony Parker (Spurs), Stephen Curry (Clippers), Pau Gasol (Lakers), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Al Jefferson (Timberwolves), Gallinari (Nuggets), Mike Conley (Warriors).

The Western lineup is quite bizarre, there is no orthodox scoring guard, and the swingman position is weakened to the extreme, except for the point guard is the interior. Gallinari, the titular small forward, is also 208cm tall.

If last season's stats were played, Gay would have a chance to be selected as an All-Star, but unfortunately Yang Rui lowered the pace of the Clippers and gave Parsons a lot of playing time, and Gay's stats were reduced to an average of 13 points per game.

The Western Conference was almost an international joke, with Bryant and Paul being the top two guards in the pick, and Timberwolves point guard Rubio in third place.

Fortunately, the league rules are that in the event of Kobe's absence due to injury, President David Stern designated someone to be selected as an All-Star instead of watching the vote to make the popular third selection.

Rubio just landed in the NBA this year, averaging 10.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

He shot just 35.7 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range, which is a statistic that the opponent can shoot from two meters away, and if Curry has Rubio's defensive treatment, he can average 40 points per game.

No one pressed the defense, Rubio could pass the ball calmly, and although there were many assists, there was nothing wrong with saying that it was brushed. He didn't have the ability to decide the game at all, and he even sat on the sidelines as a spectator at the critical moment of chasing points, watching Barria and Ridno play.

Rubio was therefore nicknamed "Lu Yizhong" by Chinese fans, not only did he shoot inaccurately, but he could hit the iron with an empty basket, this is not a joke, in January, he made a single fast-break layup after a steal, and he deviated without interference, which was simply an outside line Sakuragi, and was selected as one of the five embarrassments of TNT.

It's not easy for the guards to find a shot worse than Rubio, only Rondo and him are half a pound, and Rondo breaks through sharply and can score layups, so the overall shooting rate is much higher than Rubio's, and compared to him, it is "Long Guangzhong......

Many fans hoped that the league would make an exception for Jeremy Lin to participate in the All-Star Game, but he broke out too late and was not eligible for the election at all, and the league let him participate in the rookie game as a way to attract fans.

The addition of Jeremy Lin even changed the rookie game, with O'Neal and Barkley competing this year to form Barkley and O'Neal, with first- and second-year students separated and each team with 10 players instead of the previous nine.

The Clippers' Blake Griffin, Farid, and Parsons were invited to the rookie game.

In addition to participating in the All-Star Game, Curry will also participate in the three-point contest on the second day. He was selected for the first time, and he was very excited, starting to practice his three-point shooting a week early, and he also took more shots during the game, like warming up for the three-point contest.

Griffin no longer participates in the dunk contest, not because he doesn't want to defend his title, but because he intends to hide it, and last season his dunk moves were not too difficult, and the victory over McGee caused quite a bit of controversy.

The Clippers had the best record in the league, and Yang Rui was the head coach of the Western Army.

Others regard the Star Game as glory, but Yang Rui doesn't want to participate at all, and is ready to call Stern to ask for two days off...... 1910
