Chapter 746 [Seal in the Whale Pond]

The 2010 All-Star Weekend was held in Dallas, the second time Dallas hosted the All-Star Game at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

David Stern made a big move, and this All-Star Game will do everything well.

Built by billionaire Jerry Jones at a cost of $1.2 billion and just completed in 2009, the Cowboy Stadium has 10 entrances, is fully equipped with the latest and most modern technology available today, has the world's largest large-screen TV, can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators, is home to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, and is the largest stadium in the National Football League (NFL).

A few months ago, Dallas and the NBA league had created the atmosphere to make the game the most attended All-Star game in history.

"It's a huge basketball party." Mavericks owner Cuban proudly said in an interview, "We said we were going to have the biggest basketball party, and it was going to be something that people have never seen before, and it turned out that we were able to do it all." ”

The alliance's plan is a "crowd tactic", which has several times more people than Wang Jun's charity match in the summer. Union officials believe it will be a milestone, a world record.

It's a pity that before the game started, it was already questioned by fans on the Internet. A lot of people think that the NBA is doing it to make money, not to let fans see the best games.

The reason is simple, in a stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people, can the spectators in the back row see the performance of the players in the stadium? It's not easy to take a few pictures of the players.

Most people can only watch the biggest TV screen in the stadium, and what is it like to go to Dallas and pay for a ticket to watch TV?

In addition, what are the chances of 100,000 people going to a carnival to find a football star for an autograph, or to meet a star at a party in a nightclub? From the perspective of fans, this matter is to make money and make it difficult to chase stars!

It's like putting a seal in the pool of the whale show, which is countless times smaller, and no matter how fierce this seal is, even if it can join the commando, this pool is too big for it.

Stern was complacent, feeling that this time he had made a lot of money, and the influence of the star game could reach a historical peak, and he didn't think about it from the perspective of fans at all.

He also approached Vice President Adam Shaw to contact Wang Jun and invite him to attend All-Star Weekend.

After the end of this season, Wang Jun is a completely free man, there is no reason not to come back, let Wang Jun show his face, give an interview to reveal his thoughts, and he can build momentum for the star game.

At the same time, the league also wants to support local stars, as long as the strength of local players is similar to Wang Jun, Stern will find a way to make this person more influential than Wang Jun.

While wooing Wang Jun and preventing suppression, Stern made preparations with both hands.

He most hopes that Wang Jun will make a comeback in a weak team, which will not only attract fans, but also not become the best player.

What he fears most is Wang Jun's joining the Clippers, the Los Angeles Market, and Yao Ming and the champion Griffin. Fortunately, the Clippers don't have salary space right now, and Byron Davis' bad contract can't be traded, otherwise it would be in trouble.

Wang Jun joining the Clippers will definitely steal the limelight from Kobe, and the league's plan to support the Lakers in the past two years will be affected, and Stern hopes to see the Lakers win three consecutive championships.

The star game players were all selected, and James became the league's vote king, with only more than 2.5 million votes, which is incomparable with Wang Jun's record of more than 3 million votes.

The king of votes in the West is Kobe, who has 100,000 fewer votes than James. Due to an injury to his right index finger, he will miss the All-Star Game, and many fans are disappointed.

The most embarrassing thing is that there are no stars to choose from in the East, some fans don't know who to vote for, people with good records have bad data, and people with data are out of the playoffs.

Iverson became the starter again, playing only three games in the new season before being cut by the Grizzlies before returning to the 76ers, averaging 14 points and four assists per game while shooting 41.7 percent from the field.

He has never changed himself and has tenaciously walked his own path. However, Iverson, who is past his prime, obviously could not satisfy the coaching staff, and the core position on the field was completely taken away, and the previous maverick was seen as nonsense.

Now, the league is more efficient than Iverson by pulling out a starting point guard, and the honor of starting the All-Star Game is completely inconsistent with his strength.

Iverson has super self-esteem and refused to attend the All-Star under the pretext of accompanying his sick daughter, he can play for the 76ers, and of course he can play in the All-Star Game, but he just doesn't want to be selected in this way.

The Eagles' Joe Johnson came off the bench to become the starter, and the "Eagles" were a floor stream with not many fans at all.

Wade, Joe Johnson, James, Garnett, and Howard's Eastern starters can still be seen, and the bench is a complete tragedy.

The Heat Rose had 16.8 points and 6.8 assists, and couldn't shoot three-pointers, and the Heat are now considering sending him away, and he has a poor match with Wade.

The other backup point guard turned out to be the Celtics' Rajon Rondo, whose 13.7 points and 9.8 assists seemed good, so he could top out Mo Williams.

But Rondo's 21.3 percent open three-point shooting and 62.1 percent free throw shooting are nothing short of blinding, and he scores almost entirely on breakaway layups and shots from around the box.

This season alone, in the absence of defense, Rondo has repeatedly shot "three no-sticks" in the left and right positions on the periphery, and he is really drunk to be selected as an All-Star.

Compared to Rondo, Lowry, who had 14.6 points and 6.6 assists, looked good on the field, but he barely received votes.

The other substitutes are Bosh, Vince Carter, David Lee, Gerard Wallace, Pierce.

The Bulls won on defense, and within the playoffs, David Lee had an outstanding 15.3 points and 10.1 rebounds, and was selected. The original second-in-command Lewis's stats have dropped to 14.8 points and 5.4 rebounds, which seems to be high salary and low energy.

There are no All-Stars in the East, and after the Bucks Reed is injured, it will be difficult to find stars with good statistics. Hamilton and Randolph have a good stat, and the team's record is at the bottom.

Because of injuries, there are a lot of new faces in the Western roster, and the player stats are not particularly pretty.

Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Duncan, Nash, Xiao Si and others were successfully shortlisted.

Mavericks' Kidd was selected in place of Kobe Bryant, averaging 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 9.1 rebounds per game.

Before Kobe Bryant and Iverson, there were already two players who withdrew from the All-Star due to injury, namely Chris Paul of the Hornets and Brandon Roy of the Trail Blazers. The duo were replaced by the Nuggets' Chauncey Billups and the Thunder's Aldridge.

This season, Thunder duo Durant and Aldridge became All-Stars, which was a highlight. Many pundits predict that the Thunder will be the biggest dark horse in the playoffs, and they have excellent players at all positions and good bench strength.

The Bulls management was the most depressed, and the young players began to emerge, but their pick Oden did not have the slightest star appearance, and he suffered a fracture of the left patella after 23 games, averaging 12.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

The man who injured Oden turned out to be Rockets guard Brooks, one of the worst players in the league. The difference in size between the two is huge, like an Alto crashing into an SUV, and as a result, the big car was smashed and the small car was unharmed.

There are all kinds of signs that this star game may make money, and the reputation is definitely not good.
