The list of NBA All-Star head coaches was confirmed, Jerry West and Adelman defeated the Wizards' D'Antoni and the Spurs' Popovich respectively, while the Boston Celtics head coach Zhuang Fei, who was originally the first in the league and the first in the East, was disqualified because he had coached the NBA All-Star last year, and finally let Jerry West, who was second in the East, be replaced.

Although Jerry West and his Grizzlies are second in the East, this team's record is no worse than Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics, the current Boston Celtics record is 40-7, ranking first in the league, and followed by the Vancouver Grizzlies, this team's current record is 39-7, just one less game than the Boston Celtics, the two teams are exactly the same number of defeats, and the third in the league is the Wizards in the third in the East and the Kings in the first in the West, The two teams currently have a 41-8 record, which is not much different from the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies, while the Spurs, who are second in the West, are now 39-9, a little worse than these four teams, but the gap is extremely limited.

It can be said that the current five teams seem to be evenly matched at present, and I am afraid that such a ranking will be maintained for a long time in the future, because in addition to these five teams, the Timberwolves and Mavericks, who are the third and fourth in the West closest to them, now have a record of 33 wins and 15 losses, and it can be said that they have all been thrown off by these teams.

The head coach of the NBA All-Star is selected based on his record. It's a hugely fair thing to do, for the NBA. Going to an All-Star as head coach is a way for the league's best coaches to finish in the first half of the season, and for many basketball head coaches, it's nearly impossible to meet an All-Star team in their careers. And on the all-star stage, this impossibility is completely there.

It's just that the league's selection of head coaches is to completely abandon commercial factors and look at results, but for NBA players, if they want to be All-Stars, they no longer only look at results.

At the same time as the league announced the head coaches of the East and West, the league's vice president Stewart also announced the ten starters of this year's Atlanta All-Stars, and when the list of these ten starters came out, it caused an uproar, especially when the Western Conference All-Star starters were released.

This year's NBA All-Star ticket king is still Carter. The Grizzlies' star is now the league's most popular No. 1 star with 2.3 million votes this year, and this player is also the only player to have more than 2 million votes this year, so the swingman naturally occupies the forward position of the Eastern All-Star without suspense, and the league has still put him in the small forward position when the swingman position was set up since Jordan's return. In fact, after Artest came, the small forward has been more in the position of scoring guard, he was a guard when he was an All-Star in the West, but this year because of Artest's ban on the player who has not played small forward for a long time has been in the small forward position for most of this season.

Among the five starters in the East, in addition to Carter, an overwhelming figure, Yao Ming and Maddy were re-elected this year, although Maddie's reputation in the league is not Carter, Garnett or Duncan O'Fat level, and even lower than Iverson, but the competition for the position of forward in the East is not too fierce plus the arrival of Zhuang Fei and Yao Ming in the last two seasons has stabilized his position, of course. One of the most important reasons is that after the long-term injury of Magic boss Grant Hill, there is basically no forward in the East who can compete with him for the remaining forward position, so if there is no surprise, the new boss of the Boston Celtics may always retain this position in the future.

In addition to Yao Ming and Maddy, the last two positions in the East are the 76ers' star Iverson and the Wizards' Michael Jordan, the two lead the backcourt position, and the East has little competition in the forward position In stark contrast to the East is definitely fierce competition on the guard line, in addition to the Great God and Iverson, such as Nets boss Kidd, the point guard has played MVP-level statistics this season. There is also the Wizards' core point guard Nash, the former Finals MVP who was selected as an All-Star starter in the West, plus some powerful and idol stars such as the Pistons' Starker House and the Bucks' Gary Payton, it is very difficult to pick two people out of these people, but in terms of the performance of Jordan and Iverson this season, there is not much doubt that the two occupy the starting position, after all, Jordan is now the second in the MVP list, and Iverson is the first in the scoring list, At most, Iverson's team's record is a big flaw, but in the face of absolute statistics and popularity, such flaws are negligible. It's fair to say that the All-Stars in the East look fairly fair, after all, two of the five starters are from the first place in the East. There is one from the second and third in the east, respectively.

It's just that compared with the East, the All-Star starters in the West are too controversial, this year, in addition to Wang Zhizhi who continues to press the league's No. 1 center Ao Fat, the other four positions of the Timberwolves' Garnett and Pierce occupy two again, and the remaining two are divided by Kobe and Duncan, if a few seasons ago, when the Timberwolves and Lakers were constantly 70 wins, there was no problem with such an All-Star starting lineup, and no one would ask too many questions at that time.

But this year, the Timberwolves still continue to be weak after the departure of Coach Z, in terms of record, this team is now only tied with the Mavericks, compared to the first king in the West and the Spurs is too far away, if the Spurs in the second place in the West and Duncan is a representative, then as the first king in the West is only left with tragedy, this team actually set a record that not a single player did not appear in the All-Star starting lineup, In the history of the NBA All-Star, I am afraid that there is rarely such a thing as a first-place record in the division without a player appearing in the All-Star starter.

Suffice it to say when this list comes out. Basically, the media in the United States has been blown up again, in fact, after the results of the All-Star voting come out every year, it is the climax of the media. In fact, most of the rules for all-star voting are known, this is an election that only looks at popularity, not data, and results. But even so, basically every year someone comes forward to point fingers at the result, or constantly accuses the league of being irresponsible and should change the rules, which has almost become a fixed situation.

Only this time, the voices were extremely loud. After all, this year's King is really weird, and when the United States set off this round of crusade against the NBA League, Yao Ming of the Boston Celtics and Wang Zhizhi of the Timberwolves naturally became the focus of the topic again, and these two people have been brought out by these media to talk about things again. Especially the Timberwolves' starting center, Wang Zhizhi. In this tide, the center's strength to beat Ao Fat in his rookie period has become the focus of everyone's hype at this time, and under this public opinion offensive, it is very likely that David Stern will be forced to revise the All-Star rules and then re-elect.

In fact, after the results of the All-Star starters every year come out, it is certainly not only the media of the league that will be agitated, but also for many league stars, such as the backup guard Arenas of the Boston Celtics.

Arenas is one of the fastest rising players in the league this year, and even one of them can be removed, and this player has been ranked in the top three guards in the All-Star voting for many times this year, behind Jordan and Iverson, and it can be said that the number of votes between Arenas and Iverson has never exceeded 10,000 votes until the first round of voting announcement, the second round announcement, or even until the final round announcement. In addition to Jordan on the guard line this year, Iverson, Arenas and Kidd, and Payton and Nash have extremely narrow vote gaps, and in this case, these five guards definitely have a chance to get on the last train.

For veteran players like Kidd and Payton, the All-Star may be declining, but the loss of such glory from a young player like Arenas when he is already within reach will certainly cause him to have a huge emotional turmoil.

In fact, Arenas's psychological fluctuations are very obvious on the court.

When the Boston Celtics took on the Pacers on Feb. 1, the most trusted player on the Boston Celtics' second team was lost in the constant sound of iron.

The Boston Celtics had been here more than a week ago, and they were beaten by the Pacers, and Zhuang Fei was ready to take revenge in this game, which was a must-win game for the Boston Celtics. Especially when the Grizzlies didn't lose, the Boston Celtics can't afford to lose anyway, otherwise they will definitely lose their first place in the league.

Just like the last game, the two teams played very anxiously in this game, in this kind of inseparable game, the requirements for the team's bench lineup are extremely large, it can be said that the leader of the team's second team at this time needs to stand up to break the situation, but what makes Zhuang Fei extremely helpless is that today's leader is completely lost, not only did not open the situation for the Boston Celtics, but almost opened the situation for the Pacers, If it weren't for the fact that the Pacers' overall strength was not as good as the Boston Celtics, then this game could really go a different way.

The result of the game was a 101-93 win over the Pacers by the Boston Celtics, and in the fourth quarter of the game, Zhuang Fei put the guard on the cold bench on 2-of-12 shooting in the first three quarters, something that had never happened since Arenas entered the Celtics. This can be regarded as a warning from Zhuang Fei to the defender.

For a player with a lot of self-esteem like Arenas, there are some things that can't be said explicitly, so you need to be extremely careful when dealing with players like this.

Now Arenas is in a bad mood because of the All-Star thing, and it can be said that with the current situation in the East, if he can't get into the All-Star starting as a starter, it is almost impossible to break through the net from players like Kidd and Nash and Stackhouse or Payton off the bench, and in this case, it can be said that the guard has basically lost the opportunity to enter the All-Star. Arenas doesn't think he has the luck of James Posey last season, just happened to have an injury to Kidd and Payton hasn't been traded to the East, which is the main reason for Arenas's psychological turmoil, and the gains and losses are too serious.

Of course, Zhuang Fei's status is very high in Arenas's heart, it can be said that as long as Zhuang Fei orders this guard to be absolutely obedient, this extremely obvious warning to Zhuang Fei is naturally the same, so this guard is also ready to come out of the loss, but when the Boston Celtics faced the Hornets away on February 3 two days later, the very tragic Boston Celtics bench guard was on the bench again in the fourth quarter. In this away game against the Hornets, the guard still only shot 2-of-11 in the first three quarters, and the style of play was more impatient than the previous game, and the effect of forcing too many attacks was not good, and the Boston Celtics defeated the Hornets 98-90 on the road after losing the team's second-strongest outside firepower.

When Zhuang Fei returned to the Boston Celtics from New Orleans with the Boston Celtics, the league announced the All-Star bench lineup, and in this bench lineup, there was a very unexpected name, the Boston Celtics backup guard, the player Arenas who has risen the most this season, is impressively listed.

In addition to Arenas, the Boston Celtics O'Neal Jr. continued to be selected on the bench, so this season the Boston Celtics still have four All-Star players, but it is a pity that James Posey, who was selected as an All-Star last season, was not selected again this season, and everyone is watching Arenas' growth this year, and the biggest price paid for Arenas's growth is probably the All-Star last season, This player's points and assists have dropped seriously since the rise of Arenas, and this season's stats have become 11.5 points, 4.5 assists and 4 rebounds per game, which is naturally impossible to break through in the highly competitive Eastern defenders.

Arenas returned to Boston to receive the good news, while Zhuang Fei returned to Boston to receive another, more important news.

"Someone is preparing to buy the Boston Celtics"

In the office of the chairman of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei looked at Danny Angie in front of him in surprise and asked silently. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
