After beating the Rockets, the Celtics played Orlando Magic in Game 3. The www.biquge.info faced with a strong inside group composed of Bismarck Biyombo, Sergi Ibaka, Nikolausevic, Aaron Gordon, and Jeff Green, and the Celtics with Al Horford, Amir Johnson, Taylor Zeller, Kelly Olynyk, Jonas Jerebko, Ben Bentil and others were not afraid at all!

Ye Hai reduced the number of times he broke through to the basket in this game, and used the more stable step-back jumper from the recent 1v1 training with Pierce to score continuously! Under the guidance of Pierce, Ye Hai's backward jumper not only added the move of backhitting and then leaning back, but also the crosshairs of the back-to-back jumper have been further improved!

Under the outside firepower of Yahi, Paul, Jack Crowder, Blanton Rush, and Marcus Smart, the outside line of the Magic team is dwarfed, and only one Alfred Payton can barely make a threat, but under the special greeting of Paul and Smart, he only scored 10 points and 4 assists, and his performance is far from the average level of the season.

After this game, the Celtics surpassed the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James in the East with a record advantage of winning 1 more game, and once again stood at the top of the Eastern Conference and the league's record!

No one thought that when the game went on for a month and a half, it would be Boston standing at the top of the league. The Celtics traded Paul 1-for-3 for this deal, and even many basketball commentators and analysts are not optimistic, and those who are optimistic about this deal only think that the Celtics can barely reach the top four in the East, and none of them thought that the Celtics would actually reach the top of the league in one fell swoop!

Celtic have become a group of dark horses this season! They didn't disappoint their supporters either, continuing the hot momentum into the All-Star break! The trio of Horford, Ye Hai, and Paul is also considered by all the media to be a veritable Big Three! Ye Hai, who has just entered the NBA this season, not only won honors, but also won the respect of everyone in the NBA on behalf of China!

Not only Ye Hai, Che Yicheng, Xu Zhibin, and Liu Hao also play a pivotal role in their respective teams! As the season progressed, Cha Yicheng played more and more smoothly in the Knicks, especially his basketball IQ, and he was comfortable with the control of the triangle offense, which benefited the Knicks who had been unable to understand the intentions of the Zen master and could not give full play to the power of the triangle offense, Anthony also began to gradually wake up, gave up the ball, shared the ball with the team, and began to sacrifice personal data in exchange for more wins for the team. The two of them have become Anthony's right-hand men! The trio worked together to lead the Knicks to surpass the Hawks with a good lineup and sprint to the third place in the East!

In the cold Minnesota, Xu Zhibin has made himself, the "Chinese wolf king", sit in the position of the "wolf king" of the Timberwolves! As of the All-Star break, Xu Zhibin's statistics are an astonishing 15.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks! Far surpassed Kevin Garnett's 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in his rookie season! Xu Zhibin was called the pearl of the second-round rookie by the Minnesota media! The rugged appearance and vigorous style of play made Xu Zhibin completely conquer his teammates and fans, and the wolf howl of "Ahhhh

Under the rule of the old coach Popovich, after entering the NBA, he only had an accurate three-point shot as a killer weapon, but Liu Hao, who was lower than the average level of the league in all other aspects, has greatly improved his comprehensive strength, not only the strength of the three-point shot is sharper, but also other aspects have been practiced almost to the average level of the league, which also benefits from Liu Hao's own strong enterprising spirit! Under Popovich, Liu Hao replaced Danny Green as the outside fixed-point battery in the starting lineup, although there are not many balls, but through the cooperation with Gasol, Aldridge, Leonard, Parker and other players, not only improved their running skills, but also added a lot of valuable experience! Although he averaged only 7.8 points per game, Liu Hao's three-point shooting rate was an astonishing 58%! Ranked No. 1 in the league! Close behind on this list are the Warriors' Splash Brothers, 54% Klay Thompson and 49% Stephen Curry!

Before the All-Star Game, Ye Hai's Boston Celtics were still ranked first in the East, Che Yicheng's New York Knicks were temporarily third in the East, Xu Zhibin's Minnesota Timberwolves were ranked eighth in the West, and Liu Hao's Spurs were ranked second in the West!

With excellent performance and super popularity, the Celtics' Horford, Ye Hai, and Paul were all selected for the Eastern All-Star team, and Ye Hai will also represent the first year in the Rookie Challenge, and most importantly, Ye Hai received an invitation from the NBA organizing committee on the dunk contest, and after the persuasion of Paul and Gerald Green, Ye Hai decided to accept the invitation to participate in this year's slam dunk contest, so that Ye Hai will participate in the rookie game, slam dunk contest and all-star game in the entire All-Star Game!

In addition to these three for the Celtics, Brandon Rush will also participate in the three-point contest, although Rush's three-point shooting this season is not as accurate as the summer league and preseason, but it still has a good shooting rate of 45%!

Che Yicheng, Xu Zhibin, and Liu Hao were also invited to participate in the rookie competition, and four Chinese rookies appeared in the rookie arena at the same time, which is absolutely unprecedented! And Ye Hai's participation in the slam dunk contest and Liu Hao's participation in the three-point contest also attracted the attention of fans all over China!

Not only that, this year's Los Angeles All-Star Game also attracted stars such as O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, and Pierce who had just retired! It is reported that they will be the referees of this slam dunk competition.

On February 18, 2018, the NBA All-Star Game kicked off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles! From the 18th to the 20th, a three-day NBA League Gala will be held here, and the first day will be a Rookie Challenge!
