Chapter 240: All-Star Weekend is here
The Lakers' rookie performances and the team's good record have earned them a lot of praise, especially Ingram, who quickly regained his form after a poor start to the season and is getting better and better.
Ingram kept a low profile in an interview and publicly expressed his gratitude to Wang.
"To be honest, at the beginning of the new season, due to the change of position, I felt very uncomfortable, and even frustrated for a while, it was Wang Feng who stood up, not only publicly supported me in front of the media, but also helped me a lot in daily training and competitions, I am very grateful to Wang Feng, he is an excellent teammate, but also an example of my learning and hard work."
The relationship between Wang Feng and Ingram has obviously eased after the previous media interview, and Ingram began to take the initiative to communicate with Wang Feng, and even faintly expressed his previous apologies for his bad attitude.
In this regard, Ingram is much more knowledgeable about current affairs than Green, who had a poor relationship with the Warriors and Cavaliers before Wang Feng, and Irving.
Of course, this is also related to the different status at that time.
When Wang Feng was in the Warriors, he was just a player who slowly climbed up from the bottom, he was not famous, and his strength was very single.
Irving's situation is similar, as the Cavaliers' selected champion, Irving has played for the Cavaliers for many years, even if James returns to the Cavaliers, he is also a proper No. 2 man, and is recognized as the new king of the Cavaliers after James ages.
Ingram is different, although you are the second pick in the first round, but Ingram's status in the team last season was obviously not high, half of the time was off the bench, and the average data per game was only 9 points and 4 rebounds.
Although the Lakers regard it as a potential star in the future to cultivate, the most important thing in the league is a potential rookie, a player who can really play outstanding statistics and has enough strength to gain a foothold in the NBA.
Ingram is obviously not among them, so he himself does not have the capital to compete with Wang Feng, Wang Feng can take the initiative to release goodwill, Ingram will definitely borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and hurry up to have a good relationship with Wang Feng, the boss of the team, otherwise maybe what awaits him one day is the news of being traded out of the team.
……
It's fast forward to February, and the most anticipated event of the month of February is the All-Star Weekend on February 17.
Since the time entered February, the league officials have been announcing the progress of the All-Star team.
The alternate lineups for the All-Star Game were decided at the end of January, followed by the selection of players by the captains of both teams.
As the king of votes, James got the opportunity to choose first, and Wang Feng had to choose after James chose in each round.
James' first player to pick was Kevin. Durant, and Wang Feng's first choice is also Warriors player Stephen. Curry.
Then the second choice for James was former teammate Carrey. Owen, Wang Feng chose Anthony. Davis.
After some competition and games, the players of both teams were all determined.
In the end, James' roster was: starting five: Irving, Harden, Durant, James and Embiid, and the bench included George, Beal, Aldridge and other stars.
The starting five of Wang's roster are Curry, DeRozan, Wang Feng, Antetokounmpo and Anthony. Davis, with Thompson, Lillard, Butler, Towns and others on the bench.
From the perspective of the lineup, it is difficult to determine which of the two sides is stronger or weaker, but Wang Feng, Curry and Thompson, the reunion of the golden outside combination of the Warriors' two consecutive championships, although only two years have passed, still make many Warriors fans can't help but chant Ye Qinghui, and James and Durant's first All-Star partnership is also highly anticipated.
All in all, the matchup between these two All-Star teams is quite interesting and has attracted the attention of many fans.
……
Once the LeBron and Kings All-Star Game teammates have been decided, the players will be announced for the individual events such as the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest.
Like the previous revelations, Wang Feng's name is really on the list of the three singles events!
What's more, judging from the list of players participating in the three competitions, Wang Feng is really likely to win all the championships in the three events.
First of all, the Skills Challenge, the last year's Wall, Thomas Jr. and other favorites did not choose to participate, and the defenders who participated were Luis. Williams, Jamal. Murray, Donovan. Mitchell is a young player who is not well known.
The inside team is filled with Markkanen, Horford, Embiid and Drummond.
Judging from the list of participants, whether it is dribbling ability, speed or three-point shooting, Wang Feng is obviously the one most likely to win the championship.
And the three-point contest, although there is a gram in the list of entrants. Thompson, the nail household, and the likes of Bill, Paul, etc. George, Eric. Gordon and other top scorers, but Wang Feng, who has won the championship two years in a row, has absolute dominance in this event.
As for the slam dunk contest, although Wang Feng made a big joke in the first round last season and was eliminated in the first round, but this year, from the beginning of the regular season, Wang Feng has continued to show strong dunks on the court, which greatly satisfied the viewing experience of Lakers fans.
What's more, the strength of the players in this slam dunk contest is really not very good.
LaVine and Gordon, who played a wonderful matchup in the slam dunk contest two years ago, did not participate, and the favorite to win the championship was Donovan of the Jazz. Mitchell, in addition to Mitchell and Wang Feng, the other two players are Dennis. Smith and Victor. Oladipo.
All in all, the most beautiful dunk in the regular season is undoubtedly Wang Feng.
Many fans were happy to see this list, especially the fans of Huaguo, who were quite entertaining and funny. "There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are kings, I didn't expect that one day, Wang Feng will also have the opportunity to become the king of dunks!"
On Feb. 15, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 119-111 on the road, officially ending their final game before the All-Star weekend.
On February 17, All-Star Weekend officially began.
"Hey Wang, how does it feel to be participating in All-Star Weekend for the first time as an All-Star West ticket king?"
Kobe, who attended the All-Star Weekend, met Wang Feng outside the arena and immediately asked with a smile.
"It feels good."
Wang Feng said with a smile.
As the organizer of this All-Star Weekend, Wang Feng, who is fighting locally, is the host, and a large number of exposures and reports have flocked to the spotlight, which is really good, and this is also a feeling that can only be experienced in a big ball city like the Los Angeles Lakers.
