The 2009 All-Star Weekend will be held in Phoenix, where more than 200 countries and territories will broadcast the game live.

The NBA has already announced the voting results for the 2009 All-Star Game.

Hayes was selected as the vote king. He received the most 3501274 votes of any player, becoming the first player in history to receive more than 3 million votes, and broke the record of more than 500,000.

While Hayes was as ugly as ever, and even the dunk was easy, fans around the world wanted to see him score a triple-double in the All-Star Game.

It was Hayes' third All-Star selection and second time as the starting power forward for the Eastern Conference Stars. In fact, this season's offense is more on the outside, probably in order not to let his position overlap with LeBron James, the NBA official still puts Hayes in the interior player position, and the height of 198cm is also a major feature of Hayes.

The starting lineup for the 2009 All-Star Game East and West is as follows.

East: Center Yao Ming (Hawks), power forward Chuck Hayes (Bobcats), small forward LeBron James (Cavaliers), shooting guard Joe Johnson (Hawks), point guard Allen Iverson (Pistons).

Manager: Mike D'Antoni (Bobcats).

West: Center Tim Duncan (Spurs), power forward Kevin Garnett (Timberwolves), small forward Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets), shooting guard Kobe Bryant (Lakers), point guard Chris Paul (Hornets).

Head coach: Phil Jackson (Lakers).

The East and West All-Star bench lineup was voted by the league's head coaches, and the league's 30 head coaches selected 7 players from each of the East and West, including 2 guards, 2 forwards, and 1 center, and the remaining 2 positions were not bound by position.

According to the rules, the head coach cannot select a player from his own team, and if such a player is unable to play due to unforeseen circumstances, NBA commissioner David Stern has the right to personally appoint a replacement.

Eastern Conference bench: Chris Bosh (Raptors), Kevin Durant (Bobcats), Paul Pierce (Celtics), Danny Granger (Pacers), Devin Wade (Heat), Dwight Howard (Magic), Devin Harris (Nets).

Western Conference Bench Lineup: Shaquille O'Neal, Amare Stoudamire (Suns), Pau Gasol (Lakers), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Gilbert Arenas (Nuggets), Tony Parker (Spurs), Brandon Roy (Trail Blazers).

Every year, there are people who are injured and can't play in the All-Star Game, and after the roster is announced, others have the opportunity to be selected off the bench.

Eastern Conference power forward Chris Bosh sprained his right knee, and although he had previously said he didn't want to miss the All-Star Game, the team doctor asked him to recuperate for a while. David Stern handpicked Elton Brand of the 76ers to replace Bosh. Brand is averaging 17.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game this season. It's not an eye-catching statistic, but there is a lack of good interior players in the East, and if Brand is not selected, the only interior player with beautiful stats will be Kevin Love. There's no way Stern can make a player from the league's bottom team an All-Star, let alone a rookie. Another big forward with good stats is Josh Smith of the Hawks, who already have two players selected, no more than third in the East, and Stern does not plan to let the Hawks' third player enter the All-Star Game. As a result, Brand was lucky to be selected.

No players in the West were injured, and another group of stars with luxurious stats missed the All-Star Game. For example, Steve Nash of the Suns, David Lee of the Rockets, David West of the Hornets, Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams of the Jazz, and many more...... The most powerful and unpopular person in the NBA All-Star Game is probably Deron Williams. Since joining the league in the 2005-06 season, the Fat Boy has been firmly in the position of the Jazz's main point guard in his rookie season, and has steadily improved every year, averaging a double-double per game in the 2007-08 season and this season. However, the talented, physical, capable, and conscious guard was not voted for in the All-Star Game selection. Of course, with Williams in the West, Nash is still old and strong, and Paul is hot, and Salt Lake City fans have always been conservative and reluctant to vote online, but what do NBA coaches who have bench voting think can actually ignore a guard who averages a double-double per game.

The Phoenix All-Star Rookie Challenge roster has also been finalized.

All 18 players who participated in the Rookie Challenge were voted for by assistant coaches across the league. Interestingly, this rookie challenge will have two active players as coaches: Chuck Hayes and Magic center Dwight Howard. Among them, Howard will be involved in coaching the second-year star team, while Hayes will be the rookie (first-year) star team coach.

Durant was the busiest man of the All-Star weekend, and in addition to being selected to the All-Star Game, he will also represent the second-year star team in the Rookie Challenge. The next day, he was also invited to participate in the three-point contest.

Landry of the Bobcats was also named to the second-year star team. In addition, the second-year star team is Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford, Warriors forward Yi Jianlian, Thunder forward Jeff Green, Celtics guard Mike Conley, Hawks guard Rodney Starkey, as well as Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola and Raptors guard Aaron Brooks.

In terms of rookie stars, their roster is even more terrifying, in addition to Clippers forward Michael Beasley, the 2008 No. 1 pick, and Heat guard Ross, it also includes Trail Blazers guard 2008 rookie Oj Mayo, Bobcats center Brook Lopez, Rockets center 2007 No. 1 pick Greg Oden, Pistons guard Rudy Fernandez, Bulls guard Russell Westbrook, Wizards guard Eric Gordon, and Knicks power forward Kevin Love.

The players of the rookie star team have already put up beautiful statistics in the regular season, and the roster is stronger than the sophomore team, especially the interior has an absolute advantage, and the outside world is optimistic that they can beat the sophomore.

For this game, LeBron James will be a live commentator on TNT TV. With James's eloquence, if he hadn't played basketball well, he might not have had the opportunity to be on the commentary bench in his life, but his current fame, as long as he sat there, he could cause fans to scream.

Hayes also had a number of activities, the most prominent of which was that he sang an NBA theme song during his All-Star appearance. When O'Neal returned to the All-Star Game, he would use a break dance to play, and Hayes could also give the Eastern All-Star a boost.

The day before All-Star Weekend began, the group flew together to Phoenix. Durant was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time and grinned like a toad all day.

Durant loves Charlotte to death, and compared to last season's unused life on the bench, the Bobcats are like heaven.

Brook Lopez and Landry are very calm, after all, they are just participating in the rookie challenge, which is not much fun.

Hayes is not very interested in the All-Star Game, this month is already Gao Tongxuan's due date, the child may be born at any time, compared to the All-Star Game, this time, he wants to be at home with his girlfriend. His family in Houston will also go to Charlotte to accompany Gao Tongxuan, the family is very lively, if the child is born at this time, he is far away in Phoenix to play the All-Star Game, there will definitely be some regrets.

On the plane, several teammates chatted all the time. Durant smiled, "Brooke, are you going to help me this time?" If I break through the line, don't be so strict. I also want to get the second highest score, and it's unlikely that I will break the record of 101 points, but let me pass the 50 points, right? ”

"No, this time the first year is very strong, and I still want to win. Aside from you and Carl, there are no strongmen in the second year, and the second year is probably dangerous. Ha ha. Lopez laughed. Although he is a first-year rookie, he is older than Durant, and he doesn't have to speak so politely.

"The first grade can't win the second grade, and this time will be no different." Landry interjected in the back row: "I'm going into this fight, I'm ready to play." Chuck, do you think first graders will win? ”

This rookie team is very strong, but it is always a little bit worse than the sophomore in terms of experience. Many of the sophomores didn't play in the regular season, not because of their lack of strength, but because of their respective teams' tactics, and both sides had a chance to win.

"It's hard to say, after all, you have an extra year of competition experience. But if they can play seriously and don't put performance first, I think the first-year win will be greater, but the rookies must be very excited to participate in the All-Star Game for the first time, and if they are allowed to create opportunities for their teammates, I am afraid it will be difficult, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to show themselves. Hayes said.

"Chuck, can you make me the heart of the offense? You're a coach, so you still have that right, right? Lopez asked.

"Of course you can, the person who defends you should be Al Horford, this guy is not weak, he can also get a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds this season, if you can beat him one-on-one, I think you can also be selected as an All-Star in the future, you can try it alone." Hayes smiled.

"I'm a little taller than him, so it shouldn't be hard to beat him." Lopez said as he geared up and began to think about how to take out Horford.

Hayes pulled himself together. Play well, behave better, and let the child see his father's heroic appearance in the future.

This time in the All-Star Game, Hayes is aiming for MVP. Look at the strength of the western stars are stronger. Bryant only played for a few minutes last season because of a finger injury, and everyone else was out of energy. Bryant is healthy this season, with a big advantage on the inside of the West, star-studded, and not even a strongman like Boozer.

In the east, because of Bosh's injury, there is only Yao Ming alone in the interior height. Howard is also too short for the West and the point guard position, with Allen Iverson and Devin Harris being the point guards in the East. Iverson is old, Harris is too tender, and if D'Antoni asks for a run-and-run, maybe the two don't play as well as Rondo.

In this game, the eastern lineup has shortcomings on the inside and outside, and the game is very difficult to play. According to the original historical development, it was also a big victory in the West, and O'Neal and Kobe Bryant won the MVP together. But Hayes didn't want to lose, and neither did the All-Star Game.
