Liu Ren felt that coming to Portland in winter was really a bit of a sin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unlike the pure cold because of the heavy snowfall, and the warm climate of Los Angeles, Liu Ren just got off the plane and walked to the place where he got his luggage, and he already felt the cold rising from the soles of his feet.

"Isn't the airport air-conditioned here? It's cold! I'm still cold after wearing so many clothes. Liu Ren put the luggage on his back, walked to the parking lot, muttered depressedly, he felt that his toes were frozen, before getting off the plane, the team's staff told him to wear more, and he complied, but it seemed that it was useless to wear so thick, and the cold air seemed to be able to penetrate his clothes.

"If you turn on the air conditioner, it will be colder when you leave the airport for a while, and the people here know this better." Nick Young is an old man and has been here a lot, but he can't tell why.

"The air here is very humid, it belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate, after the temperature comes down in winter, the feeling of dampness and cold can't be stopped no matter how much clothes you wear, let's move quickly, just go to the hotel room, they have heating here." Xueba's debut, unlike Nick Young's kind of ignorance and ignorance, Kobe Bryant is simply an encyclopedia, and geography knowledge comes out of his mouth.

"Oh......" Liu Ren and Nick Yang looked at Kobe Bryant, who had the halo of a school bully on their heads, and thought to themselves, didn't this thing drop out of high school after graduation? How do you understand so much.

Liu Ren thought that he didn't know how many years he had been reading, and now he didn't seem to be able to recall anything, and the only thing he could do was writing and the ninety-nine multiplication table.

In short, following Xueba's meat, the two hurriedly followed Kobe's footsteps, stepped on the bus that the team had rented a long time ago, and rushed to the best hotel in Portland, the Hilton Hotel.

Sure enough, as Kobe Bryant said, when he entered the heated hall, the whole world was bright in an instant.

After receiving their room cards, Liu Ren took off his coat and gave it to the bellman, followed the waiter, walked to the elevator, and went to his room.

Liu Ren felt that heating was so important for the first time, he didn't feel how important heating was when he was in Los Angeles before, his physique can go out with underwear and a coat in Los Angeles, and the air conditioning at home is for a few girls, after all, the temperature difference between day and night in Los Angeles in winter is still relatively large.

Enjoying the heating, Liu Ren was reluctant to go out, and stayed in the hotel to play games or call Chick and Lori, and then went to bed early.

After all night, the Lakers players gathered early the next morning to see who on the team would be selected as this year's All-Star.

Most of the league's teams have finished their games before the All-Star break, leaving only the Lakers and Trail Blazers, Timberwolves and Knicks to play today, and some of the league's work is underway.

The first is the All-Star bench roster voted on by video conference for all coaches in the league.

There is still a little excitement in the hearts of the young players! The Lakers have such a good record, and it really can't be justified not to give a few more All-Star spots.

The NBA officially announced the All-Star Game coaches voted for, and the All-Star bench was officially released, and the Western All-Star bench lineup was led by Rockets scoring guard Harden, and the other two were Clippers guard Paul, Warriors' Thompson, Lakers center Hassan Whiteside, Spurs center Duncan, and Pelicans forward Terrick Evans, and Trail Blazers power forward Aldridge.

Since Duncan was "sidelined due to injury", Westbrook was selected in his place, and as for Kobe's injury, the president of the NBA needed to personally designate a player to fill it.

Although it was expected that only Whiteside would be guaranteed to be selected as an All-Star, the Lakers' young players were still a little disappointed when Whiteside was really the only one to be selected for the All-Star bench.

The most disappointing is Green, one of the Lakers' three most amazing young people last year, Liu Ren and Whiteside both entered the All-Star, just one short of him.

"It's okay, you will definitely be an All-Star in the future, if you don't make it this time, you won't make it, our conquest league has just begun." Liu Ren comforted.

"yes, I was an All-Star starter last year, and this year it has nothing to do with me." Thackeray also comforted.

"You go away." Green gave Thackeray a blank look, and he was really envious that Thackeray could actually be an All-Star starter.

However, Green quickly relented, after all, he was the master who had not had the opportunity to play and had been insisting on training, and he was surprised after carefully looking at the All-Star bench list: "I didn't expect Evans to be an All-Star!" The Pelicans could really be our opponent to be reckoned with in the future, but Lillard's absence as an All-Star was a surprise. ”

Paul, Lillard, Harden, and Thompson are undoubtedly All-Stars in the eyes of the Lakers, and the coach is absolutely blind if he doesn't choose, and Evans, most people's impression of him is that he is a rookie that is at his peak, driving high and going low.

"Evans has had a good two years! It's not a surprise to be an All-Star, he and Anthony Davis duo are too good, but their teammates aren't very good. "Gasol, an old man, is still very concerned about the young people of the alliance.

"Evans is really good when he gets to the Pelicans, and he is too difficult to defend when he has the ball." Liu Ren has no problem with Evans making it to the All-Star.

Many fans don't pay much attention to Evans, after all, the Pelicans' brightest star is always Anthony Davis, so many fans are surprised that Evans is an All-Star like their sister.

However, Evans entered the All-Star as a forward, and I don't know how the league is divided.

And, the most important thing is that Lillard didn't make it to the All-Star!

"Lillard didn't go in, not to mention I haven't noticed it, his presence is too low, it can't be that the coach forgot about him when he was drafting, right?" Ravan had a big brainstorm.

If you think about it, it's really possible! Without Green mentioning it, they can't remember that Lillard didn't make the All-Star list.

The backcourt players on the three All-Star benches in the East are Irving of the Cavaliers, Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan and Heat guard Dwyane Wade.

"Wade is an All-Star, and it seems that the coaches are quite nostalgic." Liu Ren is more sympathetic to Wade's experience, and there is no one with management like the Heat.

"Wade's data for leading the team alone this year is okay, plus feelings, it's normal to be an All-Star, but it's not as good as before."

The other four All-Star benches in the East are Bulls small forward Jimmy Butler, Raptors center Nunas Valanciunas, Hawks forward Paul Millsap, and Pistons forward Andre Drummond.

"That Drummond is an All-Star, there is really no one on the interior in the East, and our Drummond is much better than him." Whiteside was disdainful.

Lakers players know that Whiteside is not convinced by being second on the rebounding list, but the Lakers adhere to the principle of fitness first, and his playing time is suppressed to less than 30 minutes.

And no one can guarantee that the increase in playing time will skyrocket, because after only 28 minutes of play, Whiteside can fight for every second he is on the court, and if it is really close to 40 minutes of playing time like Drummond, the efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced.

Gasol smiled: "No way, there are only a few players in the East who have All-Star strength, and it is already very good to have a person like Drummond who can be selected, unlike the West, where there are a lot of All-Star players who have All-Star strength but have All-Star strength." ”

Green also smiled helplessly: "Durant, Westbrook, David Lee, Cousins, Leonard, Parker, Lawson, Ellis, Nowitzki, Randolph, Thompson, these people in the West who are not All-Star can form another All-Star team." ”

"I still make sense that these people didn't make it to the All-Star list, Durant, David Lee, Cousins, a few of them were injured, they didn't play much, and the coach wouldn't pick them. Lillard and Leonard didn't make it to the All-Star level, I think it's crazy, the West is really deep. Liu Ren sighed that although he didn't like Lillard's arrogant appearance, he still recognized the Trail Blazers' league-leading interior and exterior combination in terms of strength.

The official MVP rankings, player power rankings and the like are all a strong support for Lillard and Leonard, the official power ranking Leonard is 12th, and Lillard is 8th, both of which are proper superstars.

But now that the list is out, it's a sure thing.
