"The Biggest Winner" Boston Globe, Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Times, Houston Times, Washington Post and many other media have used such a word to describe this year's All-Star Game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, if the fans in Los Angeles see such a situation, it proves that they have succeeded, and they have been promoting it for half a year, but who knows, halfway to kill a Cheng Biting Jin, in the slam dunk contest, Zhang Kong a dunk that is impossible for humans to complete, and a dunk that is almost impossible for humans to complete, took away the championship trophy of the slam dunk contest that originally belonged to Griffin.
Then he used 7 three-pointers in the game, plus 21 assists, to forcibly push the Western Stars into the abyss.
Although Zhang Kong said that he did not break the 22 assists held by Magic Johnson in a single game, he was only ranked below him.
The honor that originally belonged to Los Angeles was forcibly snatched away by Zhang Kong, and he didn't give Los Angeles fans any face at all.
Zhang Kong is like those bandits, after coming to Los Angeles, he forcibly robbed what originally belonged to Los Angeles, and then patted his ass and left, the people of Los Angeles can only dare to be angry about this, who is called Zhang Kong is too powerful!
The players in Los Angeles were not given any chance at all, and Zhang Kong's strong combat power and overwhelming all-round dominance displayed in the All-Star Game also let all the fans see who is in charge of the current league!
Of course, it is David Stern who really calls the shots, but David Stern doesn't mind joining forces with Zhang Kong, for example, now he has given Zhang Kong a lot of benefits, just like some politicians or wealthy businessmen's drinking parties, Zhang Kong can not participate.
In the NBA, the drinking parties of these politicians and players are at the same level as the NBA Care Action, but there is no newspaper, if you dare not participate in such a party, you will wait to be punished! Ray Allen was fined for not attending.
And Zhang Kong doesn't like such an occasion, so he doesn't go to participate, but David Stern turns a blind eye and lets Zhang Kong pass, this is David Stern's show of favor to Zhang Kong now, as long as Zhang Kong can maintain his strong performance, then everything is easy to say, Zhang Kong is an athlete, he wants to be famous, not by scandals and marijuana smoking, but by ball skills.
Of course, the former has been mentioned by others more times than the latter for a period of time, but in the long run, it is obviously better to focus on ball skills, holding their three major trophies, Zhang Kong and others took Dan Gilbert's charter plane and flew to Cleveland, although this All-Star Game is not too tiring, but they also need to prepare well.
Because they still have to play the Rockets at home on the 23rd, there is only one day off in between, and they have to cherish it.
And Zhang Kong is resting, but the entire league can be said to be extremely shaken, and the trade deadline will be in two days.
No matter what the team is, they all hope to strengthen their roster before the trade deadline, each team has its own ideas, such as the Suns, their idea is to rebuild, although they still have playoff hope, but this hope is very slim, and the Rockets are estimated to have begun to enter the tide of rebuilding.
And the Thunder need interior defenders, and the Cavaliers, in fact, also need interior players, but they don't really need interior players, which is contradictory, because now the Cavaliers' offensive system, one of his weakest links is their rebounding, if the shooting percentage can be kept high, then it's okay to say that rebounding is weaker.
However, if their shooting percentage is not high, the protection of rebounding will be very important, and there are really no strong rebounders in the Cavaliers, in fact, Vallejo, Milicic, Jamison are good at grabbing rebounds.
But there is one point, except for Milicic, everyone else is too short, these are all problems, JJ Hickson has good talent, but his ability needs to be improved, always ineffective, the current Cavaliers offense is mainly fast.
If you introduce a big inside to protect the rebound, it is difficult to adapt to such a speed, and if you don't introduce a big inside to protect the rebound, the team's rebounding has always been unguaranteed, so now the Cavaliers are in a dilemma, they want to protect the rebound, but also want to play fast, but this is easy to talk about! The Cavaliers currently have the second-to-last rebounds in the league...... The penultimate is the Trail Blazers who don't have a center at all, and there is no way, there is no one who is not injured by the Trail Blazers' center, and although Aldridge has always been in the position of center, he has always claimed that he has always been a power forward.
This dilemma was placed in front of the Cavaliers, but it didn't seem like the Cavaliers were in a hurry.
Zhang Kong went to Los Angeles and took home three trophies, and after a day of rest, he faced the Rockets at home.
Originally, the Cavaliers played rockets, which many Chinese fans liked to watch very much, but without Yao Ming, this rating will still have a certain impact, but with the current name of Zhang Kong, this rating will definitely not be too low.
The Rockets have also recently begun to prepare for a rebuild, and with their current lineup, to be honest, the combat effectiveness is really scummy.
It's all about the feel, Martin, Scola, Lowry, Brooks, these guys all rely on the feel to eat.
Today's starting lineup of the Rockets, the center is Chuck Hayes, because of Yao Ming's injury, so the league's second-shortest starting center has secured the team's No. 5 position this season, why is it the second shortest in the league?
Because Zhang Kong also played a cameo role as a center when he was in the Kings, he was still a starter, and Zhang Kong was shorter than him at that time.
The power forward is Luis Scott, no bounce, no speed, no body, no defense, but the offense and footwork can be regarded as the strongest presence in the league, this is Luis Scott, but the South American player is really not very popular.
Small forward Sean Battier, there have been rumors from the Rockets hierarchy that they want to trade Battier, but it has not been confirmed.
The point guard is Kevin Martin, Zhang Kong's former teammate, born to only attack, not defend, facing the Cavaliers today, he may be the only bright spot for the Rockets, the point guard is Kyle Lowry, since Boo began to lose his temper, Lowry's main position is getting more and more stable, and now he has successfully squeezed out Boo and become the starting point guard of the Rockets.
But this little fat man is destined to be unlucky today, who told him to face Zhang Kong? Zhang Kong is a well-known villain in the alliance! As soon as the game began, as just said, Zhang Kong stretched out his claws to Lowry.
The strong point hits the weak point, this is definitely to be played, Zhang Kong plays Los Angeles, height, arm span, speed, and body are all dominant.
Breaking, shooting, layups, passing, Lowry has no way to limit Zhang Kong at all, he can only watch himself being ravaged by Zhang Kong.
Martin in the second position was a little depressed by Parker's defense, but this kid's cheating foul and catch-and-shoot level are still quite strong, after all, his score is not fake, although he can't shoot the ball at the critical moment...... When it came to jumping the ball, Milicic managed to get on his feet, because he was now the tallest man on the field.
easily slapped the basketball into Zhang Kong's hands, and then the Cavaliers began to form a fast attack, Lowry also knew that he had no good effect on Zhang Kong alone, and he was ready to fight at the critical moment, he rushed out directly, wanting to grab Zhang Kong's ball.
But is Zhang Kong's ball so easy to grab? Zhang Kong simply dribbled behind his back and passed the opponent directly.
Then entered the hinterland of the Rockets, the Rockets' current defense is really not good, and was so suddenly sudden, except for Battier and the consciousness of coming over to help the defense, the others have no awareness of the defense at all, and a simple pass by Zhang Kong broke through the opponent's defense, and after handing it over to Maddie, Maddie, who knows the Rockets' lineup style of play, cut in from the bottom line, a simple pull-bar dunk, and used it casually, looking at Maddy's dunk, Adelman's face was a little not good-looking.
Last year's Maddie couldn't even play in the Rockets, and this year's Maddie almost made it to the All-Star.
It's nothing short of a satire on the Rockets, on Adelman, and the better Maddie plays, the colder Adelman's face gets.
Because the idea of refrigerating Maddie came out of him, and in his team, there is no need for disobedient superstars.
But looking at it now, in fact, Maddie still heard about it very much, at least in the Cavaliers, he heard it very much, because the Cavaliers' style of play is too suitable for these superstars, they can play how they want, and no one has to limit him at all.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers led the Rockets by 8 points at 36-28, and in the second quarter of the game, the Rockets also went crazy, constantly attacking, and completely gave up defense, looking at Adelman's offensive tactics, Zhang Kong and Byron Scott next to him shook their heads, the Rockets were completely self-defeating, in the second quarter, the Rockets scored 33 points, while the Cavaliers scored as many as 38 points, at the end of the half, the Cavaliers led the Rockets 74-61 by as many as 13 points, the third quarter of the game, In fact, it has been announced that the game is over, in the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers once again hit a high score of 33 points, although the Rockets also scored 30 points, but it is impossible for them to stop and limit the Cavaliers at this time, there are still four minutes and 21 seconds left in the final quarter, and the gap in the score has been opened to as many as 19 points, and the Cavaliers replaced the main lineup to let the Rockets chase the points.
In the end, the Cavaliers won the Rockets 126-114 to complete their 12-game winning streak, and just as they were about to celebrate the victory, another news came that the trade curtain in the league officially opened......
