Compared to the East, the Western star starters are more controversial, Nash, Kobe, Maddy, Duncan, Yao Ming.

With two players from the Rockets, who finished fourth from the bottom in the West, making the starters, there is nothing in the world to stop Chinese fans from voting.

Western subs: Ray Allen, Elton? Brand, Garnett, Paul? Gasol, Sean? Marion, Nowitzki, Tony? Parker.

Among them, Brand, Gasol, and Parker are all selected for the first time. The team has a good record, the players are strong, and although they have not received many fan votes and are not popular, the coach will not ignore them.

The All-Star Game rule is that coaches cannot be re-elected, so the second-best Mavericks coach Avery ? Johnson serves as coach of the West.

There are also many star "missing pearls" in the West, and the Denver Nuggets, as the Northwest Division champion, Anthony had 26.5 points, 5 rebounds and 2.6 assists, but he was not selected.

Maybe it's because Anthony refused to play in his rookie season, carrying Du Pins and other events that affected his image, not many fans voted for him, and the coach couldn't remember him.

Mavericks Jason? Terry is also a forgotten star, averaging 17.4 points and 4 assists per game seems average, but he shoots very well from the field, 47% overall, and a whopping 41.1% from three-point range, making him the team's most trusted shooting spot.

The Mavericks currently have the second-best record in the West, behind the Spurs, and Terry has a lot to offer. But in the end, only Nowitzki was selected for the Mavericks, and he was still a substitute.

And the Lakers' Lamar? Odom, averaging 15 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.

The Lakers can't do without Kobe, and the Lakers also lost to the weak team in the two games that Odom suspended, and his role in withdrawing the interior line is very critical, and he can still respond to it in a high position after blocking and dismantling. He's like a big point guard who makes basketball work, and the team's best assists are the best proof of that.

Same as in the Heat. Because of the lack of star temperament, Odom was once again ignored.

This time, Wang Jun was very busy, and in addition to the star competition, he also had to participate in the next day's activities. The league sent out an invitation to the long-distance pitch competition, and he agreed.

Hughes didn't allow him to excuse himself and called, "You've pushed off twice in a row." If you don't go, the league will think that you look down on the long-range shooting contest and look down on All-Star Weekend. Do you want to snooze in the stands when you're not at the event? There's no one to talk to you this time. ”

Abby would be there but in charge of interviews, and her status on ESPN was further enhanced, and knowing two superstars was what made her so important.

Therefore, she must stay in the press area and cannot accompany Wang Jun to chat on the sidelines.

Theron, on the other hand, will stay in Chicago and will not be on site. With Gina as her company, she is not lonely.

Wang's opponents are Ray Allen, Nowitzki, John Terry, defending champion Quentin Richardson and Arenas. Except for the latter two, the others all have a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%, and the competition is very fierce.

At the same time, James once again missed the slam dunk contest, disappointing the fans.

James' attention is always not fully focused on the court, thinking too much.

Most of the participants in the slam dunk contest are stunned young people who have just entered the league for a short time, and spring people who are eager to increase their popularity through the dunk contest. Now he has a 31+7+7 stat. To become the league's hottest star, it seems that you don't need to package yourself with a slam dunk contest.

Other than that. James was too competitive to lose. As long as it is not to ensure victory, he will not participate, and commercial interests will not allow him to fail, otherwise the media will have a negative impact once it is promoted.

That night, Wang Jun flew to Houston, accompanied by Lore Deng, David Lee, and Nocioni. They're going to compete in the Rookie Challenge. Du Hong, a rookie who performed well last season, played a short time this year, and his statistics dropped too much to be selected.

David Lee averaged 12.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game and could compete for the Rookie of the Year award. In a good mood, I found Wang Jun chatting on the road, and the other two were quieter.

Just because something won't break doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Wang Jun could feel that his teammates had some opinions about him now.

He took the most shots in the whole team, stealing all the limelight, which is a great thrill for ambitious young players.

Head coach Skells did not show dissatisfaction with Wang Jun and gave him the maximum space to play. This makes it impossible for others to grab the ball, and if you shoot too much, it's fine, but if you don't score, you will be scolded by the coach.

"Why don't you pass it on to Wang Jun?"

"Pass it to Wang Jun, let him open the suction bag first, and the others will open the opportunity to wait, how many times will I say it?"

"Defend! All you have to do is defend hard! ”

I often hear coaches say this, which is a torment for young players, Wang Jun is a newcomer, and what he has snatched away is the position that originally belonged to them.

Now, Wang Jun can completely understand why O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are so incompatible. Luoer Deng, Hinrich and others are far worse than Kobe, and they still have mustard in their hearts, how can Kobe be willing to be a little brother all the time?

Wang Jun is different from O'Neill, he is very young, and he is at his peak. Unless a super genius comes to grab the ball with him, he can't take it away. And if the Bulls can have another genius, he will definitely win the championship easily.

After staying in the hotel for a night's rest, the next morning, Yao Ming called Wang Jun to visit the door, along with the official of the Basketball Association, Xie Rong, who met once last year.

Xie Rong's hair is more than the last time they met, but at a glance he can tell that he is wearing a wig, and his smile is like a waiter who goes to a restaurant to finish a meal and wait for a tip.

Wang Jun shook his hand.

After a few words of greeting, Xie Rong expressed his intention. "Wang Jun, it's almost March, I'll discuss how you will meet with the national team in the summer, the current record of the Bulls, it will definitely end late in the season."

"Thank you, I think so." Of course, the playoffs end as late as possible, Wang Jun smiled: "Just do it as it is convenient, when is the World Championships?" ”

"From August 19th to September 3rd, you don't have to rest for long before you have to report to the training camp, which is in China, starting in July, warming up in August to play the Stankovic Cup, and then the World Championships." Xie Rong said.

"Okay, I'm fine."

Although there is no holiday, while he is young, Wang Jun wants to do more.

Xie Rong looked at Yao Ming again and said with a smile: "I believe in your strength, and it will depend on the two of you to break through at that time, and strive to reach the top four." ”

The men's best result at the World Championships was eighth in the United States in 1994, and it has never reached the Final Four or won a medal, so this is a good opportunity.

Wang Jun shook his head, not liking Xie Rong's goal. "The goal of reaching the semi-finals is too low, and I want to win the championship. I partner with Brother Yao, one inside and one outside, maybe not as good as the peak OK combination, and I will definitely be dominant in the world championship. The American Dream Team doesn't necessarily go to the best stars, we have a chance. ”

Xie Rong was stunned, Yao Ming smiled embarrassedly, they didn't think about this, the Chinese men's basketball team seemed to be quite far away from winning the championship.

Wang Jun's idea is very simple, as long as he participates in the competition, his goal is to compete for the championship, and in the end, he dares to speak if he can't do it.

The last time he saw Wang Jun, Xie Rong felt that he was too young and had no way to hide his mouth. Now that Wang Jun's strength has improved again and he has become a superstar, his mind has begun to change.

Maybe Wang Jun can really lead the team to amazing results, he has arrogant capital.
