On February 7, the results of the all-star voting were released.

Mo Wen once again broke the record he set last year.

3.3 million.

However, this year, there are a lot fewer doubts about him, and even many unconvinced American media only feel that Mo Wen has too many votes, and they have not stood up to question Mo Wen's identity as the vote king.

Last season's FMVP gave Mo Wen his first hard honor.

Phenomenal data - 23 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game, occupying the first place in the assist list and steal list at the same time, if nothing else, Mo Wen's assist and steal king this season will not have much difficulty.

Smooth and beautiful style of play, this is needless to say, you let the 2023 old Zhan Tou and turtle turtles such muscle sticks plus 20 years of age, they can also play picturesque iron.

There is also the Heat's almost invincible record this season, only losing 3 games in the halfway, this feat has only been done by the Bulls who won 72 games before, and losing the game, Mo Wen is also the most consistent one in the Heat team.

If last year was the year when Mowen's fans in China skyrocketed, then the region with the largest increase in Mowen's fans this year has become the United States.

Mo Wen is not as gorgeous as Kobe Bryant and Iverson who are casually 30+ and 40+ when they explode slightly, nor is he wild like Nash who takes the whole team to test the quality of the court floor, he is like a never-ending oil extractor, providing fuel for the burning of the heat day and night.

As it turns out, it doesn't have to be a particularly exaggerated rendition to attract fans, and light singing and dancing can also be crazy.

Alliance (Stern) & Nike: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

The second most voted is still Da Yao, with 2.8 million votes, and he has also opened a gap of one level compared to other NBA players.

Ao Fat's data has dropped a lot this year, and no one regards him as the boss of the Heat anymore, and his votes are still one Howard + Bosh behind Da Yao.

Wade is a pity, he and Iverson have a difference of 30,000 votes, and many Chinese fans also voted for him as the "three masters", but there is a scoring champion with an average of 33 points per game in front of him, and fans in the United States still support Iverson with ribbon dancing.

The All-Star bench was voted on by the coaches of each team two days later, and the All-Star lineup was also decided-

Eastern starters: Mo Wen, Iverson, James, Carter, O'Neal;

Subs: Billups, Hamilton, Rashid, Big Ben, Bosh, Arenas, Wade;

Western starters: Nash, Kobe, Maddy, Duncan, Yao Ming;

Subs: Marion, Nowitzki, Garnett, Parker, sister-in-law, Brand, Ray Allen;

Milicic's stats are okay, but the team's record has slipped too much from last season and is not valued by the coaches.

"Captain" Brand played his most representative season this year, averaging 24 points and 10 rebounds per game, and the most important thing is that he also led the Clippers to the top six in the West, and his sister-in-law is not bad, leading the Grizzlies to seventh in the West without a star guard partner.

Needless to say, Stern helped him "recover" the vote data a little more normal, China's popularity of the NBA is still on the rise, and he doesn't want to pour cold water on it, Dazhi's super high votes were directly interrupted by him in a cold way.

There is basically nothing unconvincing in this year's selection of people in the west, and the "melon" data is good, but after bringing the crown of [58], the performance without explosion can't wash away his reputation at all.

In the East, there are more unlucky guys, and there are 2 top 10 scorers who have not been selected - Pierce and Reed.

When they led the team alone, their results were very average, and the coaches didn't think they were anything great, but judging from the results of leading the team alone, the melons actually overpowered Pierce.

If Arenas hadn't averaged 30 points per game and ranked third in the league's scoring list, he really wouldn't have been able to move, and there was a good chance that he wouldn't have been able to make it.

Sanders, who was previously confirmed to be the head coach of the Eastern Conference team, mobilized his connections and crammed all four of the Pistons' starters into the All-Star list.

The main reason is that the Pistons are also fighting this year, after switching to offensive basketball, the Pistons' defense has not been lost, and the record has gone further, and the coaches of other teams are also happy to see the Heat being pressed in the All-Star.

Both Pierce and Reed feel that they have been treated unfairly, but it is not them who shout the loudest, but Atay in New York.

"It's not because some shit is harming the team, labor and management should also be All-Star!"

"Defend! Defend! Defend! I don't know why when everyone is talking about offense, there are still people talking about these old things, I did all the defense that should be done, but I didn't see him pull out the slightest offensive thing, and who did he defend at the end? He guarded ourselves! ”

"To be able to play this kind of performance under him, I feel like I deserve an All-Star!"

In just half a season, Artest had enough of Larry Brown's "right basketball".

He thought that he, the "son of Brooklyn," had returned to New York to be a city hero and a savior.

But who would have thought that Larry Brown only fancied his ability on the defensive end, and was not at all interested in his talent on the offensive end, and he was more blue-collar under Larry Brown than under Carlisle.

In the original time and space, Marbury had a quarrel with Larry Brown, and this time it was Artey's turn to take the lead.

One thing to say, Artest is not that unreasonable person, but to be reasonable, you have to be reasonable first, the truth on the court is to win, Larry Brown did not lead them to win, so a lot of unreasonable things that Larry Brown did in New York became unreasonable things.

Listen to the applause!

After Larry Brown's success playing blue-collar basketball with the Pistons, he brought his success to New York.

His idea is very good, this group of people with gold-collar and white-collar salaries don't want them to be worthy of their own salaries, as long as they can play the role of blue-collar workers.

But he forgot a workplace truth: if the leader has been in office for a long time, he will not do the following work.

Whether it is execution or tactical literacy, the Knicks in front of him can't be compared to the Pistons who were trained by Carlisle.

Larry Brown didn't do it either, but he tried 30 starters and couldn't find one to his liking.

On the contrary, the team was made by him, and there was no star at all. It's okay that Atai is so hard-hitting, and the data is only slightly shrinking.

The original core Marbury, his stats shrunk directly from last year's All-Star level to a normal starting level, and this year he didn't even get an All-Star nomination.

And the heartbreaking thing is that the Heat and Pistons, which occupy the top two in the East this year, from players to coaches, the combined salaries of everyone on the two teams are not as high as the Knicks.

The Heat have 3 All-Stars and the Pistons have 4 All-Stars.

If Artey doesn't join, Stern will have to worry, think about Dolan forming the most expensive lineup, paying the most taxes, and being beaten the hardest, looking back, the only connection between the entire team and the All-Star is that the team has a bunch of former All-Star players, and New York fans don't have a local star to vote for.

Up to now, the Heat and Pistons together have not lost as many goals as the Knicks have lost in a month, and the Knicks are now on the same echelon as the Raptors, and they are all on the way to the top spot.

Losing isn't a terrible thing for the Knicks.

The scary thing is that they have to keep watching Larry Brown stubbornly lead the team to lose.

It's not that Dolan and Thomas were demoted by Larry Brown, it's mainly that Larry Brown signed a big contract with them with an annual salary of 10 million - he is 3 years and 30 million.

This is less than in the original time and space, because Isaiah Thomas had the idea of recruiting Mo Wen, so he shortened Larry Brown's contract years, and the historical Larry Brown's guaranteed contract with an annual salary of 10 million yuan was signed for 5 years......

Oh yes, there's a ghost story, don't look at the Knicks playing so badly, their first-round pick for next season was also given to the Bulls at the beginning of the season in the trade of Eddie Curry (300 pounds) and Sweetney (308 pounds), the "thousand pound brothers~".

And this draft pick is still not guaranteed!

……

"Tut-tut, do you say that you guys, what do you say, that old guy also took you to win the championship, so ruthless, 30 points, an ordinary regular season, 30 points difference, you don't leave him with any affection, he is in such a difficult situation, you are so ruthless, let's do what we want to do with him... No, how can he raise his head in New York in the future? ”

Holding the phone, Mo Wen said with a painful "angry reprimand".

"No way, that's how the schedule is arranged, you can't envy it."

On the other end of the phone, Billups said smugly.

In last night's game between the Pistons and the Knicks, the Pistons easily slaughtered the Knicks by 30 points at 121:91, and Billups made a big effort, rarely unlocking the offensive seal and scoring 30 points under Marbury's defense.

"You've only been 'enjoying' for a year and you've been enjoying the beaches of Miami, do you know how the brothers came here last year, if you were replaced by Coach Sanders last year, do you think you can pass the test so easily, go to the horse!"

Seeing the Pistons' offensive power this year, even Big Ben, who admires Larry Brown the most and hates Sanders the most, doesn't think their loss last year is purely a matter of the quality of their players.

Billups, who has always had a conflict with Larry Brown, took over the stick of Mo Wen, and fired at Larry Brown when he had nothing to do.

Larry Brown initially fired back and retorted, but as the Knicks' record collapsed like his prostate, he also feigned dumbness.

"If you change to Sanders, the championship will be the same as the Heat, don't think too much, just lie to your brother, don't lie to yourself." Mo Wen teased with a smile.

"Cut, you kid, don't think that the whole super team is invincible. Don't forget how you got your first ring! Billups tapped the screen of his phone as if he were knocking on Mo Wen's head.

"emm, two FMVPs, five All-Stars, tell me, how did I get my first ring?" Mo Wen said with a change of concept.

Looking back, the '04 Pistons were also All-Star teams.

The Pistons' players in the championship year were basically mature players, and there was not a single recruit in the core lineup, and they also "grew" quickly into FMVP in the second year.

Billups choked for a moment.

Although the Pistons four-person All-Star this year has an element of Sanders' connections, they ask themselves that they definitely deserve this honor.

Therefore, although Mo Wen is sophistry, there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with logic.

In the final analysis, there is no grassroots fairy tale, and the truly poor person can never be known to others about his poverty.

"Don't talk about us, I checked the schedule, you will go to New York the day after tomorrow, we were beaten so hard, is this time going to make a big news?"

"Huh? Don't spread rumors, it's the same as how much I hold a grudge, am I the one who holds a grudge? Mo Wen pursed his lips.

"Isn't it?"

"If that's what you say, let's talk about the two punches you owe me..."

Doodoooooo –

Listening to the electronic tone on the phone, Mo Wen raised his eyebrows.

He has long stopped taking Larry Brown in his eyes, and after the East Final last year, Larry Brown had no chance to turn over in front of Mo Wen.

Of course, Mo Wen didn't mind continuing to step on it.

After all, it's Madison Gardens.

By the way, it's time to remind Shaq to practice free throws...... Wait, no, it's time to remind Shaq to take a rotation!

Under another night sky.

In a nightclub in New York, Artest opened his military backpack in high spirits, and showed Marbury his preparations for the upcoming big war one by one.

Bell Bell –

"See, no, this, the steel-toed shoes that my uncle wore when he was logging, the two-ton wood smashed into the ground without deformation."

Bang bang –

"This, professional off-road motorcycle knee pads, someone has verified, 120 miles flew out, the skull was smoothed, and the knee was still intact."

Whew—

"And this one is even more exciting, I trust the precious props I found from Hollywood, the 1:1 restoration of medieval plate armor, wearing him, the sand eagle has to be shot three times to break it, except for the weight, there are no other shortcomings."

Marbury, who was next to him, looked at Artest numbly as a child showing off his equipment.

Just tell me the truth, are you going to attack the White House or bomb the Polygon?

Isn't it just a no-brainer?

And he didn't believe it—

With his height, he can still hit him in the face while kneeling Mo Wen?

Why do you have to fight and kill, just for your salary of more than 6 million, just for winning or losing a game?

The few people who clashed with Mo Wen last season have either been traded or bought out, leaving him with the team alone.

He has forgotten his past grievances in alcoholism again and again, and now in the face of media interviews, he can already say that his relationship with Mo Wen is very good without blushing and heartbeat.

The alliance is just a business, so why take it too seriously?

Looking at Atai, who was obsessed with fighting with Mo Wen Void, he sighed.

Motionfor the bartender on the other side to continue serving.

……

In the final game before the All-Star weekend, the Heat flew to New York.

There weren't many reporters on board, because few people cared about a game whose outcome was already sealed.

Even if Fat announced a recurrence of his leg and toe injury before the last game and needed to rest until the All-Star level, no one thinks that the Knicks, who are at the bottom of the offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, can cause much trouble for the Heat.

None of the New York media, which has always been ambitious, took the initiative to stand up and express their optimism that the Knicks could win this game.

The same goes for the media, including the media run by the boss Dolan.

The difference in strength between the two sides may not be a matter of letting one or two starters, but of giving up starters.

Of course, there are also people who have the idea of winning the game.

In addition to Atay, it is Larry Brown, who has been fighting with Atay recently.

Larry Brown, who has successfully cashed in half his life's reputation, should not have any extravagant hopes for his reputation.

But Larry Brown always felt like he could save again.

The Heat confidently rested O'Neal, which is great news for him.

Don't look at the Knicks, there is also a "little shark" with full tonnage, but this fat fish is more than a little worse than the genuine fat shark of Ao Fat.

The dominance of a super center is not just about their size and athleticism.

Technology is also something that cannot be overlooked.

For example, the typical Yuebanhu who relied on talent to eat later also had a delicate low-post finishing technique.

In Larry Brown's eyes, the most difficult thing is to set up a strategy to defend Fat.

The rest, although it is not simple, is not so much that it will be solved for half a day, and the result is only one no solution.

In order to motivate the players to work harder, he also deliberately arranged the retirement ceremony of Houston on the day of the game.

He intends to burn out Houston's last fame with the Knicks and inspire another player.

For this game, Larry can be said to have given everything he had, and he treated it as a tie-break in the finals, although he had not played a tie-break in this time and space.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after Houston's touching and heartfelt regretful retirement speech, his last jersey was "inexplicably" sent to Mo Wen.

Larry Brown, who understood what was happening, almost didn't faint on the spot.

He was set aside by Isaiah Thomas.

Obviously, Isaiah Thomas also wants to learn to use the tricks of the previous Pacers to have something to do with Mo Wen.

He was still thinking about boosting morale, and the mood and momentum brewing at this time were all fulfilled.

Larry Brown really can't figure it out, the Pacers play this way because they have salary space, and what about the Knicks? Half of the people who have been laid off can't see the top of the salary cap, what kind of excitement is there to make around?!

Thomas: Don't ask, ask is the next big chess piece (focus on participation)!

Artest watched Mo Wen take Houston's jersey, and it was ten thousand unhappy.

The second time, the "inheritance" that should have belonged to him was once again taken away by Mo Wen.

There is one more reason to win the game!

The new home is still adapting, and I still have no inspiration after watching the game in the middle, and I am uncomfortable, from last night's card to now, I am uncomfortable......
