Chapter 580 [Star-Studded 2007]

It wasn't until the end of the month that the Bulls lost again, 108-110 to the Clippers.

In this game, the Clippers players were in great shape, and Brand bullied Lewis in the first quarter.

LEWIS CAN OPEN UP SPACE WELL WHEN PLAYING POWER FORWARD, AND HE ALSO HAS WEAKNESSES, AND IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO DEFEND THE TOUGH NO. 4 POSITION, AND BRAND, WHO IS 203CM TALL BUT GOOD AT PLAYING BACK, BELONGS TO THIS CATEGORY.

Brand finished with 28 points and 11 rebounds.

Clippers bench power forward Tim Thomas scored 18 points and floated outside to shoot, which is also the type that Webb and David Lee hate, and they are not good at guarding out.

The other two benches also performed well, with Margeti scoring 15 points and Livingston having 14 points, three rebounds and three assists.

Margeti was too strong for Barnes and Lore Deng to be restrained by one-on-one defense.

One thing drops one thing, the Clippers bench burst the Bulls' bench bandits, and the starter withstood the Bulls' counterattack, Wang Jun missed the killer ball in the last 2.4 seconds, and missed the three-point shot under the interference of Quinton Rose.

Rose, who joined the NBA in 2004 without drafting, averaged only 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, but he was a key outside defender for the Clippers, moving very fast and tenacious.

The loss didn't stop Wang Jun from winning the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the third month in a row, and the Bulls' record beat that of other teams.

James was nominated, and he was second, and Yue Yue was suppressed, and he was depressed.

The Cavaliers' record has improved since Bibby's arrival and is now second in the East, behind the Bulls.

According to the new playoff ranking rules, although in the same district as the Bulls, the Cavaliers can also finish second in the East instead of fourth, which is the only good news for the Cavaliers, they don't have to fight for fifth place, and they can meet the Bulls later.

February 9th. The Bulls suffered another home loss, 121-123 to the Warriors, who were outside the Western Conference playoffs.

It was an upset, and the two sides played out in extra time, with Wang Jun's last-ditch attack attracting the defenders and then splitting the ball, and Hinrich missed the comeback with almost no interference.

The Warriors rose after the trade. The newcomer Jackson has 24 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and he is like the boss of the team.

Harrington had 24 points, nine rebounds and two assists. Byron Davis, Monta Aires, and substitute Petrus also played well.

Ellis was a second-round rookie in 2005, averaging 16.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.7 assists per game this season, shooting 47.5% from the field.

Davis, who is in charge of defending Wang Jun, is the strongest point guard, with a height of 191CM and a weight of 95 kg, and can withstand Wang Jun alone. Just interfering with the shooting handicap.

In the counterattack, Davis Wang Jun was also uncomfortable, and the impact was too strong.

Wang Jun shot 13-of-27, 5-of-10 from three-point range and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line to finish with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

He had a high shooting percentage and the best stats in the game, but after the game, a group of people said that he didn't dare to take responsibility at the last moment and passed the pot to his teammates.

Hinrich made 1-of-6 three-pointers in this game. Jones was 1-of-3 for 3, and Lore Deng didn't dare to shoot a three-pointer. If these guys had been on the outside, or if Lewis had been there, they wouldn't have been able to play overtime at all.

After defeating the Suns, Bobcats, and Raptors, the Bulls had a terrifying 50-4 record in the first half.

Lewis opted to make a comeback before the All-Star break, using this entertaining game as a warm-up. Named an All-Star for the second time in his career, Lewis thinks he can use it as a bargaining chip when signing a contract. Raise your value.

Lewis made the decision when he was recovering from an injury, and if the team won the championship this season, he would jump out of his contract and try to sign a bigger five-year contract.

With the championship ring in hand, he has no regrets in the future. Money must not be made less. Waiting another year will turn against him, and whether the Bulls renew his contract or not, his goal of getting a high salary can be achieved.

Lewis thinks the Bulls can win the championship, and there are too many strongmen on the team.

On the 17th-19th, the 2007 Star Weekend will be held in Las Vegas, and the All-Star Game roster has been announced.

This All-Star Game was star-studded, and many players took video canvassing in order to become All-Stars. Wang Jun did not canvass for votes, nor did he become the king of votes.

LeBron James came from behind to become the All-Star vote leader with 2516049 votes, the second-highest number of votes in NBA All-Star voting history, behind last year's Wang Jun.

The reduction in scoring has left fans with a hint of dissatisfaction. There are many people on the Internet who have left messages saying that they want to see Wang Jun's rampant individual offense, not the Bulls' passionless team basketball.

The Bulls do lack passion, dunks are relatively rare, and the players are all shot-oriented, even if David Lee won the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest, he is now almost on the floor.

Skells often told David Lee not to jump around, and the coach's style can influence all players, whether offensive or defensive.

Skyles will play in the All-Star Game as the head coach of the East Force this time.

Eastern star starters: O'Neal, Wade (Heat), James (Cavaliers), Bosh (Raptors), Wang Jun (Bulls).

Subs: Arenas (Wizards), Dwight Howard (Magic), Billups (Pistons), Kidd (Nets), Pierce (Celtics), Jermaine O'Neal (Pacers), Rashard Lewis (Bulls).

With Kidd and Pierce absent due to injury, the Hawks' Joe Johnson and Celtics' Ray Allen were selected off the bench.

The popularity of this thing really can't be explained, the Heat are only sixth in the East, barely making the playoffs, and the win rate is just halfway, and the two are still the starters. Fans want to see O'Neal get weird at Star Weekend.

The Bulls are the home team of Chinese fans, and with Chinese fans voting, Lewis still failed to surpass the "Dragon King" Bosh in the vote.

Maybe it's because Lewis has just arrived with the Bulls and hasn't been fully accepted by Chinese fans, or maybe people like him who make cameos as power forwards aren't as popular as orthodox insiders. More of a reason is that Lewis is too low-key and is often overlooked by fans.

Before the stars in the East, Malo Royle 12+10, Ben Wallace 8+12 can be selected as All-Stars, and now a group of players who have played super stats are blocked out of the Star Game.

Hamilton, who averaged nearly 20+4+4 per game, was defeated again, and he has not yet been selected for the All-Star Game under the pressure of the two 2003 stars in the second place in the East.

Wizards two big men Jamison 20.1 points and 8.1 rebounds, Butler 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists, both lost to the All-Star selection.

The Pacers' Artest lost with 18.1 points and 5.8 rebounds, he was the second leader of the Pacers, his style was biased towards defense, and he also publicly stated that he didn't want to play as an All-Star, so he was ignored by fans and coaches.

The Bucks' Michael Reed is averaging 26.7 points per game this season and shooting well from the field, but he was still undrafted because of the team's poor record.

The most surprising thing was the loss of Vince Carter, who still averaged 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, but his popularity dropped to freezing point.

Fans were tired of Carter's dunk and didn't throw him into the starting lineup. Coaches also feel that Carter's stats, while pretty, don't help the team win that much, and the Nets are now recognized as the core of Kidd.

This was very exciting for Carter, who felt like he was abandoned by the fans. Leaving the Raptors didn't get what they wanted, just a change of place and struggled.

It is normal that he failed to replace Kidd and was selected as an All-Star, Joe Johnson averaged 25 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was better than Carter's, and Joe Johnson was still the new "Eagle King", and the role was more obvious.
