Chapter 304: Comparison
The 2010 NBA All-Stars finally came to an end on Valentine's Day, and the Western Army narrowly defeated the Eastern All-Star Team by two points, so it was only natural that the All-Star MVP honor would be selected among the Western All-Stars. Zheng Ke not only got a triple-double, but also scored a game-high 27 points.
This is bad news for Nowitzki, who has scored 24 points but still has the advantage of the home court, but according to the previous judging rules, the MVP is likely to miss him.
In anticipation, Stern announced the 2010 All-Star MVP in Dallas.

"To be honest, this result was a bit of a surprise to me. The victory of our Western Army is the result of the team's hard work, Dirk and Cameron have performed very well, I think this trophy not only belongs to me, but also belongs to all the Western stars, to the friends of Dallas, and to the fans who love us! ”
When Zheng Ke said this, the audience really bought it, and some of the dissatisfaction in his heart just now was suddenly swept away, and Zheng Ke was greeted with the warmest applause and cheers.
Zheng Ke had a smile on his face. is quite proud in his heart, this kind of pleasing words to the fans he will not lose two pieces of meat, which can show his modesty. Being able to get praise from others is a lot of things.
After the game, sports newspapers all over the world published the news that Zheng Ke led the Western All-Star to win the All-Star Game, adding another heat to the end of the All-Star Game.
Spain's "World Sports Newspaper" said that this NBA All-Star is a rare success in the NBA in recent years, although Iverson, Kobe. Some veteran stars such as O'Neal have been unable to play due to injury or form, but have been able to bring in a large number of young players. This makes this All-Star Game a little bit dynamic. The data shows that the ratings of this year's All-Star Game surpassed the previous ones.
The British "Times" said that the NBA All-Star Weekend slam dunk contest had a far-reaching impact, and Zheng Ke's four dunks were all completed at one time. It's so difficult. The beauty of the action is simply the buckle of the century. He shattered the previous perception that Asian athletes were physically weak, and he was like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
China's Basketball Herald newspaper published an article about Zheng Ke's all-star journey, citing the prominent title of "Zheng Ke - The Overlord of Western Chu Seen in a Thousand Years". Zheng Ke is 2.03 meters tall, and he is basically nine feet long when he was in Qin and Han, and as people get to know Zheng Ke more and more, Zheng Keli is amazing. So in terms of figure, Zheng Ke is very much like the overlord of Western Chu more than 2,000 years ago. Maybe he returned to ancient times and was also an all-star journey of a famous warrior Zheng Ke, who won the All-Star MVP, just like the Western Chu overlord who broke the kettle and shocked the Chu State and became famous among the princes of all walks of life
Zheng Ke liked this article in the "Basketball Herald" very much, and described him as the overlord of Western Chu who was able to pull mountains and rivers, which made him secretly happy in his heart. On the Chinese Internet, fans have further increased their attention to Zheng Ke, and they are eager to pay attention, understand Zheng Ke's family tree, and know who Zheng Ke is. For this reason, Zheng Ke's grandfather was visited by reporters. It's a pity that there are many omissions in the genealogy, which are only shown to the ancestors in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no one before.
There are various versions of Zheng Ke's ancestors circulating on the Internet, and all the famous generals, strong men, and strong martial arts people in history have compared them, Xiang Yu? Lu Bu? Li Yuanba? High pet? Zheng Ke watched with tears and smiles as the fans looked for a matching celebrity for him, and felt that the Chinese fans were so loving.
Even in places like Africa, Latin America, Zheng Ke's name has been greatly publicized, and people talk about Zheng Ke, oh, he is a Chinese, an NBA basketball superstar
After the All-Star break, the Timberwolves' schedule became dense.
On the 16th, the Timberwolves challenged the Pistons away, and on the 17th, they faced the Wizards back-to-back. Before he recovered from his two road trips, he had to return to his home court on the 19th to meet the challenge of the Bulls led by Rose. For a while, the Timberwolves players who had just returned from an All-Star weekend vacation were bitter. At the same time, there were several new injuries in the team: Iverson had pain in his left little finger and needed to rest for a week; Lowry strained his thigh in training and needed to recuperate for two to three weeks; Pekovic contracted a cold and rested for one game
The increase in injuries has affected the Timberwolves' ability to a certain extent, and Whitman is fortunate that the main players have fewer injuries, and he has begun to pay attention to the physical examination and maintenance of all players.
In the new edition of the league's power list, the Lakers are still in first place, the Cavaliers are second, and the Timberwolves are third. After that, there is a succession of Western teams, Mavericks, Suns, Trail Blazers, Rockets, etc., and the Magic, who are second in the East, have dropped one place to the eighth position, and the overall gap between East and West is somewhat obvious.
After the All-Star Game, Zheng Ke fell from the top spot in the regular season MVP list, and James surpassed Zheng Ke to take the first place. Kobe Bryant is still the third in the millennium, and the Thunder's Durant made the MVP list for the first time, ranking 8th.
It's true to say that the West is highly competitive, as the Hornets' record plummeted after Paul's injury, dropping out of the top eight after the All-Star second week. In the third week, the Hornets lost all four games and fell to 11th place, getting farther and farther away from the top eight in the West.
In addition to Paul, the Nuggets and Jazz are also teams with extremely fast declining records. The combination of Jefferson and Anthony hit a bottleneck, and the paper-like defense allowed the Nuggets to score 110 points while giving their opponents 120 points. The Jazz team broke out into serious civil strife, and the contradictions between De Xiaopang and Sloan became increasingly acute, and the road ahead of the Jazz team became even more confused.
These are all manifestations of the aftermath of the All-Star break, including frequent upsets in the league, a decline in overall player numbers, and back-to-back losses for many teams.
However, the old and stalwart Spurs, after the struggles of the early part of the season, have a tendency to rise to the end of the All-Star team, and although they are currently only in 8th place in the West, they are already winning their fifth consecutive road victory. They have a mediocre record, but are considered by experts to be the least likely team to fall out of the playoffs.
After the trade deadline and the end of the player's contract extension date, the transfer market is completely closed, leaving only sporadic short-term contracts to be signed, and the NBA enters the end of the regular season.
At this time, the NCAA Collegiate League, which is about to enter the "March Madness", has attracted the attention of basketball fans across the United States.
At the same time, NBA teams send a large number of scouts into the NCAA. "March Madness" is the best stage to test these basketball seedlings, and the scouts will use their own connections, observations and statistics to get the most detailed information about each player, and send it to the team's general manager. For some small teams, the draft is basically their only chance to turn around, and what they hope is to find another figure like James, Zheng Ke, and Durant, and from then on, they will make a lot of money.
In his spare time from the game, Zheng Ke basically saw other players of the Timberwolves discussing NCAA matters, they all came from college, and they all had their own alma maters.
For example, Love often proclaims his love for his alma mater in the locker room: "I support the University of California, Los Angeles, and our school team is still okay this year." Not to mention the top four, the level of the top eight is still there. How about buying lottery tickets with me? ”
The players' minds are drawn to the NCAA, and the fans' eyes are drawn to the NCAA, which makes the NBA move forward at a rapid pace in a situation where no one else cares much (to be continued......
