The third quarter was beaten into garbage time, and as soon as 24 hours passed, in the face of another team, the third quarter was completed and clocked out of work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Dong's performance is like an occasional fluctuating lake, slightly undulating, but overall, it is still stable, he has a body, a technique, and a brain, the way of survival that Nocioni gave him, he removes its dross, takes its essence, and constantly enriches his abilities.

The Orlando media spared no effort to declare Li Dong the best rookie, which upset the Los Angeles media, and the two media engaged in a social war of words.

At this time, Li Dong listened to Joe Thomas, opened his own Twitter, and underwent real-name verification. Today, with the progress of intelligence, Li Dong has only opened his own Twitter until now, and he also belongs to a type of character who is more backward and perceived. But this did not affect the love of fans and fans at all, and in just one day, the number of his fans began to skyrocket, exceeding 10,000.

Li Dong gave the account to Joe Thomas to manage, in fact, many NBA stars have put accounts like Twitter to agents to manage, and only a small part of the news fans see is really sent by the stars themselves.

In mid-January, Frye returned from injury after a month off.

Now, Skyles had a headache. Before Frye was injured, he was the main No. 4 position of the Magic, and he played well. But now that the team has put Gordon in the starting lineup, when using Aaron Gordon as the main power forward, he also has a good record, and Gordon is better than Frye in limiting the opponent's scoring, and on paper, it seems to be more effective than when Frye was a power forward.

This was really difficult, and Skeles could only talk to Frye, using words like his body had just recovered and looking for feelings from the substitute to appease Frye.

Frye is also very helpless, he knows how much the magic has changed during his rest period, as a qualified basketball player, he understands Skyles' arrangement, but there will always be a little bit of unhappiness in his heart, after all, it is a starter, a starter who gets the audience to stand up and cheer when he plays!

The Magic's roster depth has become thicker, and their record has steadily improved.

And at this time, the league's eyes are drawn to the upcoming All-Star. The results of the second round of voting came out, Li Dong still ranked first in the Eastern Guards, followed by Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Lowry, and according to this trend, the leading stars of the All-Star host country are likely not to be able to enter the All-Star starter!

"That's an insult to the All-Star." The Toronto media was blunt, and like the Los Angeles media, they bombarded Li Dong, "He's playing great, their team's record is good, but he's still just a rookie after all." And whether it is scoring or assisting, he is a big cut behind Kelly. I think the fans who voted should sensibly look at the last game between the two teams, that will tell the whole story. ”

Li Dong's Twitter is now a scene of ice and fire, half of the fans are fully supportive, and half of the fans are black and black.

"Fortunately, Li Dong doesn't play Twitter." Joe Thomas wiped his sweat and silently blocked his hacked ID......

Another ten days or so passed, and the All-Stars announced the results of the third round of voting.

After the results came out, Toronto fans were really disappointed, and Kelly Lowry, known as the "Wizards' hope for recovery", still failed to surpass Wade at the last moment, and unfortunately missed the All-Star starter. Li Dong, on the other hand, lightly occupies one of the positions in the backfield of the East and looks effortless.

"A turtle who didn't even use Twitter before actually snatched the starting ......" This is all the voices of all the players in the NBA, in vain they used to interact with fans, all kinds of cute canvassing or something.

No wonder Wall said sourly in an interview, "There are too many fans in China." ”

Similarly, Yao Ming was named to the All-Star Game as a result, even though he was injured in December. Expressively, it is difficult to convince other NBA players.

East: Dwyane Wade, Li Dong, LeBron James, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony.

West: Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard.

Among them, the Thunder and Shuangshao all entered the All-Star starters, which can be said to be the first in the history of the NBA.

The Cavaliers, who have the first record in the East, and the Warriors, who have the first record in the West, are the only stars selected as All-Star starters, which has caused criticism from the media.

It is worth mentioning that Oladipo ranked fifth in the vote for Eastern defenders, only behind Wade by 50,000 votes, and even surpassed popular rising star DeMar DeRozan.

The All-Star is not just a half-way exhibition game, it's also a commercial pitch for the NBA. The stars who can be selected for the main game, in a sense, have a large part of the fan base, and they expose themselves, increase their popularity, and increase their commercial value through the All-Star Weekend.

For the stars of the small ball market, how to not be forgotten in this big dye vat, All-Star is undoubtedly a good choice.

……

In the last three games of January, the Magic made a three-game trip.

Away against the Raptors, away against the Grizzlies, away against the Pistons.

Li Dong came to Toronto for the first time, and in such a cold weather in January, he also caught up with a fluttering heavy snowfall, which directly covered the entire Toronto with snow.

"The Raptors are not having a good time!" Li Dong has some sympathy for the Raptors' players.

Jennings also nodded frequently, "Yes, this place is really too cold, and it's remote." He exhaled into his hand, and puffed out of white smoke, "If I were to be asked, I would definitely not want to play here, or Orlando......

When the bus entered the city, it encountered icy roads and the speed was very slow.

"DeMar DeRozan is the core of what the Raptors are developing right now, and he's improved a lot." When Li Dong closed his eyes, he recalled the tactical instructions made by Skyles on the plane before, and occasionally thought about the tactical positioning by himself, and enjoyed it.

"Good health, accurate mid-range shooting, good free throws, but not very good long-range shooting ability."

DeRozan, who was born in 89, and Li Dong have very different styles, Li Dong is very strong in breaking through, but relies more on various jump shots to solve the offense, while DeRozan prefers to play air cut tactics, and his ability to make fouls is the strongest in the Raptors team now, like Bagyani and the like, who may not have made a few fouls in a game.

As a result, the Raptors became the second place in the East after the Cavaliers, and went straight to the playoff spot.

The local Chinese in Toronto are not afraid of the cold and have come to cheer for Li Dong. There is a crazy female fan, and even wrote explicit words such as "willing to give birth to a monkey for Li Dong" on the sign he was holding, which shows the lethality of the handsome Li Dong in this aspect of female fans.

Li Dong was a little touched and a little funny, the fans are always so cute and innocent.

He scored a quasi-triple-double of 34 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists to the cheers of 30% of the fans, contributing a landmark victory.

Subsequently, Li Dong made a big fuss in Memphis, contributing 31 points and scoring 30+ points again.

In the last week of January, he averaged 30.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, beating James, Stoudemire and others, who were also nominated for the Weekly Awards.

It can be regarded as making the complaining Youyoukou stop for a while.

But the good times didn't last long, and in the last game against the Magic in January, Li Dong was cursed with the best award and lost his touch in Detroit, losing all 4 shots in the first quarter and hanging a zero egg.

In stark contrast to his sluggish performance is the hot form of Drummond, who is simply an unstoppable monster, constantly grabbing frontcourt rebounds, constantly completing dunks or causing Magic interior kills, and it only took half time to get a double-double of 16+11.

Fortunately, Oladipo and others felt hot, and the Magic outside firepower point was always able to continue, so that the score was never completely opened.

In the second half, Skels instructed the Magic players to foul Drummond to the free throw line.

This move was immediately booed by Detroit fans, and Watson rarely played once, so he used it all to foul, and desperately hammered his small fist at Drummond, while still looking at the referee, thinking why didn't the referee blow the foul?

Drummond smiled helplessly, and once again even sent a baseline ball and didn't enter the field, but Watson still followed with him, and gently found Drummond outside the field, and the foul action was very gentle, like stroking the face of a lover, and gently touched Drummond.

The referee is also hard work, and he doesn't know that the Nth foul is blown.

The Magic's offensive rhythm was immediately shattered, and Drummond didn't even shoot 40% of his free throws, worse than Jordan Jr., and sometimes, he missed consecutive free throws. The more they are cut, the more nervous and helpless the players become, and the more they can't find the crosshairs.

The effect is remarkable, the Magic gradually pulled the score difference back, and Li Dong hit consecutive outside jumpers, looking like the slender Magic No. 1 back then.

Stan Van Gundy scolded Skyls for being shameless, but there was no way to do it, this tactic was invented by the old Nelson to deal with the invincible shark.

In fact, Drummond in this period, the free throw shooting rate is really not low, although the posture is very stiff, but he can have a shooting rate of almost 4 percent, and he can also contribute 16.2 points, 14.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks every night, which is a well-deserved NBA rebounding king.

But no matter how much you hang, when the free throws are not smart and you encounter shark slashing tactics, you can still only stare dryly......
