The 2013 NBA All-Star Weekend was held at the Toyota Center in Houston, and the city hosted the same All-Star Weekend seven years ago.

On January 18, the famous media T-N-T officially announced the starting lineup for the 2013 All-Star Game.

West: Chris Paul (Clippers), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Kevin Durant (Thunder), Blake Griffin (Clippers), Dwight Howard (Lakers).

East: Dwyane Wade (Heat), Tang Wenlong (76ers), LeBron James (Heat), Carmelo Anthony (Knicks), Mark Gasol (76ers).

The Lakers did not finish in the top eight, but two stars were selected for the starting lineup, and as soon as the results came out, Los Angeles naturally became the target of criticism from the outside world. Forget about the Thunder, Durant was selected into the starting lineup, and with such a fierce record of the Spurs, Duncan's votes in the Western frontcourt are not as good as those of his juniors.

When the results of the third round of voting were announced, the biggest suspense in the Western All-Star lineup was whether Jeremy Lin could become a dark horse, when Jeremy Lin beat Paul with 600,000 votes and less than 50,000 votes, he was very likely to enter the Western All-Star starting lineup. However, when the final results were announced, Jeremy Lin still failed to be selected, and Paul, who had a stronger team record and personal strength, was finally selected for the All-Star starting lineup with 930,000 votes over Jeremy Lin's 880,000 votes, and Paul had about 45,000 more votes than Jeremy Lin.

Not being in the starting lineup is a good thing for Jeremy Lin, judging from his data and the Rockets' record, if he enters the starting lineup, he will definitely be sprayed with no skin. For Jeremy Lin, who is still struggling to survive, once he becomes an All-Star starter, what does this make Harden, the current leader and core of the Rockets, think?

At the end of January, the NBA announced the All-Star bench.

On the West side, Harden, Duncan, Aldridge, Parker, Randolph, David Lee and Russell Westbrook were selected. On the eastern side, Rondo was injured and could not play, and unfortunately did not make the All-Star selection. Owen, Iguodala, Paul George, Chris Bosh, Tyson Chandler, Roel Deng, Joaquin Noah, Brooke Lopez were selected.

Counting, the most regrettable is the Warriors' Curry, who averaged 23+7 data per game, but was collectively ignored by the head coaches.

Why ignore it?

Because conceptually speaking, coaching is still the traditional way of thinking, and the reason why the Warriors can rank seventh in the West, David Lee's average of 18.7 points and 12 rebounds per game is obviously more like the core and leader of the team.

In February, all eyes were on the upcoming All-Star Game, where the 76ers defeated the Heat and Celtics, and lost the focus game against the Thunder in Oklahoma City. Then at home, defeating the former Hornets who had just changed their name to the Pelicans, Tang Wenlong scored 46 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists in a super triple-double, and the Pelicans were wiped out.

By the time of All-Star Weekend, the 76ers had a 41-10 record, which was the most in the league and the only team to have 40 wins.

Tang Wenlong averaged 31.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, ranking first in the league in points per game, and ranking in the top ten in the league in assists and steals per game.

His selection was well deserved, and he gradually became an iconic figure in the league. In the all-star promotional video made by the league, Tang Wenlong's shooting and dunking scenes were edited back and forth, and Philadelphia fans were delighted to see their hometown usher in a super scorer of this level.

is not only a scorer, Tang Wenlong is gradually becoming more and more comprehensive, and his passing is becoming sharper and sharper, he can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, known as the peak swingman.

On Feb. 15, the league went on a truce and entered All-Star Weekend.

At this time, Tang Wenlong's family gathered at the door, and on a sunny afternoon, they were ready to leave for Houston, the largest city in the southern United States.

"So is everyone ready?" Tang Wenlong turned his head and looked, Ping Ping helped Fang Chuxia drag the luggage out, Xuanxuan was carrying a simple small bag, he himself was a backpack, and then there was his assistant and hired bodyguard.

"Ready, sir!" Ping Ping gave a military salute and put the cap on his back coolly.

Tang Wenlong glanced at him up and down, this kid has been exercising in the past few months, his body has become a lot stronger, and his height is also approaching him, listening to Coach Jim, Ping Ping has made a lot of progress, although he can't play the main force, but by the time he is a sophomore, he should be able to sit firmly in the starter, and at that time, I believe it will be more able to attract the attention of scouts.

Tang Wenlong said with a smile: "This time I went to Houston to relax, and when I came back, you will directly face the Crazy March Tournament, you play well, and I will go to see you on the spot when the time comes." ”

"Ah, really, then I'll have to behave well." Ping Ping smiled, if Tang Wenlong came to watch the game on the spot, it would be a face-saving thing.

Houston's All-Star Committee has arranged for the All-Stars of each team to stay in star-rated hotels, in addition, the All-Star players who go to Houston will be received by special staff, equipped with All-Star sports cars, and top-level luxury cars, so that every All-Star player feels that they are not here to play, but to vacation.

Houston fans want Harden to win the All-Star MVP, but Harden's status is not enough, and such an honor of sufficient weight has attracted the covetion of many superstars in the East and West.

Anthony made an appointment with Eastern superstars such as Tang Wenlong, Wade, and James in advance, and several people went to a local nightclub in Houston to have a good time.

Although the competition on the field is very strong, there is basically a lot of personal friendship off the field. The relationship between Tang Wenlong and James and Wade is very delicate, on the one hand, Tang Wenlong is the biggest enemy on the road to winning the championship for the Heat, on the other hand, he always sympathizes with such a strong and righteous opponent.

After a few people met to enter the nightclub, they didn't expect to meet acquaintances in the west.

"James? I didn't expect you to be there. Tang Wenlong laughed, and met Harden who was hooking the necks of two beautiful girls, his bearded eyes were rounded, he didn't expect to meet such a group of people.

"James, we have come all the way, why should you do your best to be a landlord?" Wade stepped forward to high-five and hugged Harden, and the two formed a lot of emotions at the Summer Olympics.

"That's it, you're a local tyrant who has signed a big contract." James and Harden were talking, their eyes unconsciously looked at the two girls beside Harden, ********, with big breasts and fat buttocks, they are simply the best stunners.

Tang Wenlong's eyes were not on Harden, and when he looked behind Harden, it was actually Howard, the center of the Lakers, and these two people actually got together?

And the point is, no Kobe? (To be continued.) )
