336 After All-Star Weekend
Cheeks: I definitely don't want Yao Ming and Iverson to play for a while, I just want to win!
Line-up on the field:
Westward:
Duncan, Nowitzki, Li Lei, Kobe, Nash.
Eastern:
Yao Ming, O'Neal Jr., Carter, Iverson, Billups.
Eastern Stars attack.
Billups dribbled steadily across the half-court and forced Nash to burst in.
Li Lei assisted in defense as soon as possible and blocked Billups.
Billups walked out, but suddenly a ground-hitting pass was handed to Carter, who cut away from the ball.
Carter burst out and clasped his hands heavily.
Bang!
。
Of the 10 players on the field, Billups should be the smallest in the line.
But none of the other 9 people dared to underestimate him.
A few days ago, the NBA officially launched a poll on who would be the point guard you would most like to coach.
More than two-thirds of the 30 managers chose Billups.
Who wouldn't love a point guard who can score, is good at defense, can control the tempo, is physically strong and tall, has strong key ball ability, is also very low-key, and doesn't steal the ball?
Compare that to Nash on the other side.
Billups doesn't have a strong presence, but he can keep the Eastern Stars in order.
Western Stars offense.
Bryant received a pass from Duncan and hit a three-point shot.
Swish!
。
Eastern Stars attack.
Considering that Nash couldn't carry Billups, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to change defenses.
But Billups was smart enough to give the ball to Iverson right away.
Just staring at you "unguarded" to fight.
Under Billups' combing, the Eastern Stars stared at Nash's bullying, chasing points little by little.
Avery Johnson saw that the situation was not good and made another substitution.
In this way, the head coaches on both sides kept making moves and fighting non-stop.
At half-time,.
The Western Stars still have a slight edge.
After all, looking at the list, the Western Stars are also slightly stronger.
On the Eastern side, Joe Johnson, Caron Butler, and Dwight Howard were all All-Stars for the first time, and the coffee spots were slightly lower.
On the western side, there is only one Oku, and the others are all-star old men with strong strength.
In the end, the Western Stars also won the All-Star Game.
Bryant had 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, the highest score for the Western Stars, and lifted the MVP of the All-Star Game.
Li Lei had 17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, the second highest score in the West.
Nowitzki's 15 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block was the third-highest in the West.
On the Eastern side, James had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, which was the highest score in the game, but unfortunately the East lost, and he missed the MVP.
Yao Ming, with the help of Iverson, also got 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
And so it was All-Star Weekend.
The second half of the regular season of the 2006-2007 season also began.
Back in Memphis, old man Jerry West and coach Rick Carlisle took the whole team for a meeting.
Discuss the Grizzlies' goals for the second half.
With the Grizzlies in their current state, they are well off the playoffs.
However, there are too many strong teams in the West, and if you are not careful, you will encounter the Mavericks, Spurs, and Suns in the first round, so you must plan in advance.
Let's look back at the current ranking of the West.
First place, Dallas Mavericks.
Second place, Phoenix Suns.
Third place, Utah Jazz.
Fourth place, San Antonio Spurs.
No. 5, Memphis Grizzlies.
Sixth place, Los Angeles Lakers.
No. 7, Denver Nuggets.
No. 8, Golden State Warriors.
This season, the league changed its rules, no longer having small divisions, listing seeded teams, and grouping them completely according to their regular season records.
What are the Grizzlies going to do under the new playoff grouping rules?
First of all, the Grizzlies' first small goal will definitely be to avoid the Mavericks, Spurs, Suns.
Secondly, it is almost impossible for the Grizzlies to catch up with the Mavericks and Suns with their current record, and there is some hope for catching up with the Jazz and Spurs.
Then, the Grizzlies' next best plan is to rush to the third, so that they can play the sixth team, the Lakers or the Nuggets, preferably the Nuggets.
This is more difficult, the competition in the west is too fierce, and the third is not so easy to rush.
The second best option is to try to meet the Jazz in the first round if you can't finish in the top four.
After all, of the four teams in the top half, the Jazz are the weakest.
But this one is very difficult to control.
So after a long day of research, the Grizzlies found themselves having a hard time having the position they wanted in the brutal West.
The only thing you can do is to try to play as well as possible, and you must not fall to seventh or eighth, otherwise it will be too difficult to meet the Mavericks and Suns in the first round.
So for every next game, the Grizzlies had to do their best.
However, the Grizzlies were so unlucky, and their first opponent after All-Star Weekend was the Seattle SuperSonics.
The SuperSonics have not had a good record this season, with only losses so far.
But on the contrary, the supersonic team broke out this time.
Ray Allen, the big man, shot 4 of 5 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws, and efficiently scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.
The second-in-command Rashad Lewis was 3-of-7 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, and his efficiency was equally amazing, with 34 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
In addition, Lucredno had 15 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists and 5 steals.
Chris well Cox rebounded, 1 assist and 1 steal.
Nick Collison rebounded, 1 steal and 3 blocks.
The SuperSonics team's starting five Tigers broke out at the same time, which was like a hanging, and the three of them won two doubles.
In the end, the Grizzlies were defeated in the first game after the All-Star Weekend.
In the second game, the Grizzlies met the Warriors who broke out in full swing.
In the absence of "The Bearded" Byron Davis, they just broke out.
"Wusheng" Stephen Jackson 26 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.
Al Harrington had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block.
Monta Aires had 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
Biedrins rebounded, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Jason Richardson rebounded, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
In addition, the Warriors shot 50% of the team's three-point shots.
In the end, the Warriors scored 129 points and beat the Grizzlies.
In this way, the Grizzlies still wanted to rush forward, but as soon as they came up, they led 2 consecutive defeats, and they were about to fall.
At this time, Li Lei knew what he should do.
Their next opponent is the Trail Blazers, known as the "Portland Prison".
Don't look at this Trail Blazers team in a rebuilding period, but they have also had a negative record so far, which is not bad in the Wild West.
