Chapter 101: Selected for the All-Star Game
"The Warriors have won 35 in a row, setting a new all-time winning streak in the league!"
"The regular season starts with 35 wins and 1 loss! Can getting the best start in league history break the Bulls' 72-10 record? ”
"Impeccable team! Can the Warriors successfully defend their title and lift the O'Brien Cup again? ”
In the last game, the Warriors officially broke the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, and the major media that have already swiped the screen have once again filled the screen with Warriors-related reports!
The debate about whether the Warriors can break the longest winning streak in history has ended with the Warriors' loss, but whether they can break the 72-10 record set by Joe and the Bulls has immediately become the focus of heated discussions.
In the week after the end of the winning streak, the Warriors won three of the four games, and the record came to 38-2, and the overall situation is optimistic, except for the situation when facing the San Antonio Spurs, the battle situation was anxious, and it was difficult to distinguish the difference, and finally lost because of a little less luck, the rest of the games The Warriors won by a large score, and the three-quarter check-in has become the norm.
The Warriors' winning streak has come to an end, but the team is as strong as ever.
……
On January 18, 2016, the NBA's official All-Star voting channel was officially closed, and the official voting results were announced three days later.
Western defender Kobe Bryant. Bryant had no suspense to become the All-Star vote king.
Curry and James finished second and third, respectively.
According to the vote. The starting points of both teams in the east and west have been confirmed.
In the East, the five All-Star starters are Kyle of the Raptors. Lowry, Heat's Dwayne. Wade, Cavaliers LeBron. James, Paul George of the Pacers and Carmelo Anthony of the Knicks.
The starting five in the West are Stephen of the Warriors. Curry, Russell of the Thunder. Westbrook, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. Bryant, Kevin Durant of the Thunder and Kowhi Leonard of the Spurs.
Although Wang Feng did well in the first round of voting, there was a huge gap between him and the others in terms of popularity, so he had no choice but to lose.
If the All-Star vote counts the votes of Chinese fans, Wang Feng is estimated to be able to surpass the vast majority of people with a crushing momentum, and it is not difficult to even win the vote king in one fell swoop, but it is a pity that this is an NBA All-Star not CBA.
There is no way for Wang Feng to be selected for the All-Star starting lineup, but this does not mean that Wang Feng does not have the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game.
The NBA All-Stars have seven bench players each, in addition to the five All-Star starters in the East and West.
The All-Star bench is selected differently from the starters in that it is voted on by the head coaches of the league's 30 teams, based on the player's performance so far in the regular season.
Wang Feng still maintains an average of 20+ points per game, and his efficiency value is among the best in the league. The defensive end also contributes a lot to the team.
The Warriors can get such a proud record now, and the Curry Thompson splash brothers play well is of course the main reason, but Wang Feng also has a pivotal contribution in it, and there is no problem with this sentence!
Therefore, it is highly likely that Wang Feng will be selected as an All-Star substitute.
Moreover, in addition to the All-Star Game, Wang Feng has confirmed to participate in two other All-Star activities, namely the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Three-Point Contest.
Wang Feng, who was a first-year rookie last season, was still in the stage of not being able to play at all, and his average data per game was extremely pitiful, so he was naturally not eligible to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.
However, it was less than a season. Wang Feng has evolved into a main player who is good both offensively and defensively.
Looking at the entire first- and second-year rookies, there are very few players who perform better than Wang Feng, so his selection for the Rookie Challenge is also an inevitable result.
As for the three-point competition, Wang Feng signed up for it himself.
The three-point contest is different from the All-Star Game, it is just an entertainment performance project, the gold content is not high, but it is also a rare opportunity to show your face, especially this year, the Warriors Splash Brothers are all participating, if Wang Feng becomes three players, three of the four players are from the Warriors, which can definitely attract a lot of attention.
After all, the majority of melon-eating viewers also want to know who is better at three-point shots among the Warriors' "three musketeers".
Wang Feng didn't know if his 92 three-pointer and purple corner three-point shooter badge could beat Curry and Thompson in the three-point contest, but he had to give it a try.
If you win blood, you won't lose money, if you win Curry and Thompson by luck, it's enough for Wang Feng to blow for a long time!
Wang Feng, who had the idea of being able to have more exposure, received another good news at the end of January.
On January 29, the NBA officially announced the 2016 All-Star Game, the substitute list of the East and West, and Wang Feng's name was impressively listed!
Chinese fans celebrate together!
Since Da Yao played in the All-Star Game as a starter in the 08-09 season, no Chinese player has been selected as an NBA All-Star, although Wang Feng was only selected as a substitute, but this is also the first time in 7 years that a Chinese player has been selected for the All-Star Game!
However, Wang Feng, who was successfully selected for the All-Star Game, was overjoyed but found a problem, that is, he did not see Drummond in the All-Star bench list in the West. Green's name.
According to the original historical process, the three players selected by the Warriors as All-Stars this season should be Curry, Thompson and Green, because these three players are the core founders of the Warriors' supernatural record.
But the arrival of Wang Feng has changed a lot of things, his outside defense and co-defense ability have greatly enhanced the defensive intensity of the Warriors, which has reduced Green's importance in the Warriors' defensive system.
It's not just on the defensive end, it's also on the offensive end.
In the original Warriors team, Green mainly played the position of point forward, and many times the ball was in his hands, so in the 15-16 season, Green was at the peak of his career in terms of shots, points and assists, averaging 14 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.
But now the Warriors, due to Wang Feng, the offensive tactical system has also changed significantly, especially this season, after Wang Feng's mid-range offensive ability was developed, Kerr increased Wang Feng's shots, these balls were not deducted from Curry and Thompson, but originally belonged to other role players, including Harrison, who had been traded away. Barnes...... and Green's.
Because of this, Curry and Thompson's personal data have not been greatly affected by the rise of Wang Feng, who has been able to continue to provide 20+ points during the nearly half of the regular season.
But before Green knew it, the data had been affected.
Green's average data this season is 10.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals, which is naturally a big improvement from the 14-15 season, but compared with Green in the same period in another time and space, it is obviously inferior.
