The Heat signed Reggie. Evans is here to reinforce the Heat's weakest rebounding problem.

The Heat's rebounding problem this season is too serious, especially when Wang Chao grabbed 25 rebounds in one game during the Christmas War, and single-handedly blew up the entire interior line of the Heat, which really caused Miami to have a serious psychological shadow.

Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the team's rebounding protection, and the Heat are also a bit eager to use Reggie. Evans' rough defense to limit the idea of Wang Chao's play.

It's not just the Heat who are making reinforcements.

The Spurs followed suit.

Due to Wang Chao, the Spurs are now missing two high-quality outside shooters in the lineup, Leonard and Belinelli, which has affected the team's outside scoring ability. Green and other players, but they still need to strengthen the outside line, especially the forward position.

They opted to send a first-round pick and two role players to get forward Gerrard from the Suns. Green.

Gerrard. Green is 2.03 meters tall, playing as a small forward, was drafted by the Celtics with the 18th pick in the first round in 05, and has been wandering among the league's teams before, after joining the Suns this season, he has shown good personal strength, and is currently averaging 15.8 points per game for the Suns, including a three-point shooting rate of 40%.

Spurs get Gerrard. Green, the firepower on the outside has been greatly improved, although the player's defense is very average, but the firepower on the offensive end, especially outside the three-point line, is exactly what the Spurs team with the twin towers of Duncan and Howard currently need.

The Heat and Spurs, the two favorite teams to win the championship, have reinforcements, and the Pacers, who are currently the first team in the East, are certainly not far behind.

General Manager Larry. Bird waved his hand and put the team's boss, who has been injured by Paul. George completely replaced Danny. Green was sent to the Philadelphia 76ers and traded for the 76ers' forward Evan Brown. Turner.

2010's Eye Show Evan. Turner is averaging 17.4 points and 6 rebounds per game this season, and joining the Pacers is bound to be a strong reinforcement to help the Pacers go one step further.

Trades for these teams have captured the vast majority of the league's attention, and as the trades are underway and announced, All-Star Weekend is approaching.

The East and West All-Star starters were also confirmed with the final voting results.

On the Western side, Wang Chao was elected the vote king with an absolute advantage, and also served as the starting forward in the West as the All-Star Game, along with Durant and Griffin in the forward position, and Curry and Harden in the guard position.

The starting five All-Star players in the East are James, Paul. George, Cameron. Anthony, Wade and Owen.

Compared with the previous All-Star, there are a number of new faces in the starting list of this All-Star, including Curry and Harden in the West, George and Irving in the East, which also represents the aging of a group of well-known stars and the rise of new players.

To Wang Chao's surprise, Leonard was actually selected as an All-Star in the West as an All-Star substitute.

You must know that the West is strong and the East is weak, and the West is significantly better than the East in terms of both the strength of the team and the number of stars.

Just like this season, contenders for the Western Conference All-Star bench list include Chris. Paul, Bushy Brother, Davis, Damian. Lillard, Howard, Duncan, Tony. Parker, Nowitzki, Aldridge and Cousins are among the stars.

Leonard's stats have gradually improved this season to average 17.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which is the second-highest scoring player in the Rockets, but compared to the leading stars of these respective teams, both in popularity and statistical performance.

In Wang Chao's impression, Leonard's first All-Star selection should be two years later, in the 15-16 season.

At that time, Leonard had already won the FMVP of the Finals, and averaged 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the new season, becoming the mainstay of the Spurs, so he directly participated in the All-Star Weekend in the 15-16 season as an All-Star starter, starting his road to superstardom.

And now, although Leonard is destined to only play a Pippen-like role next to Wang Chao, he was selected as an All-Star two years early.

Leonard can be selected as an All-Star, there are two main reasons, the first is the Rockets' current record of the first in the league, although the Rockets' current record is not as exaggerated as last season's 72 wins, but after all, it is the first in the league, and only one player is selected as an All-Star.

The second is that Leonard's actual role in the game is not fully reflected in the statistics, and Leonard's defense is the most commendable compared to the scoring statistics on the offensive end.

Leonard's defensive efficiency this season is quite high, and he can rank in the top five in the league, of course, the first place is Wang Chao on the same team as him.

According to statistics, any player who defends Leonard, whether a superstar or a role player, will have a significant drop in shooting percentage and offensive efficiency, even including LeBron. James, Kevin. Durant, Cameron. Super scorers like Anthony are no exception.

Leonard certainly can't completely kill these top scorers at the forward position, but it's a rare thing to be able to slightly reduce the offensive efficiency of these superstars.

Based on the above circumstances, Leonard will finally be selected as a Western Conference All-Star substitute, and the player he replaced is Dirk. Nowitzki.

There is no doubt about the strength and performance of the King this season, even at the age of 36, Nowitzki can still contribute 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists steadily, and his teammates, that is, Harden, who was selected as an All-Star starter this year and averaged 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, led the Dallas Mavericks together, and the current team record can rank fifth in the West and the sixth-ranked Warriors.

——

The 2014 All-Star Weekend will be held in New Orleans from February 15 to February 17.

There's really nothing to say about the process of All-Star Weekend, after all, it's the same every year, although the league often undergoes some restructuring, but with little effect, the All-Star Game against the star players is slightly better, and the ratings of events like the Rookie Challenge and the Three-Point Contest Slam Dunk Contest are declining almost every year.

It is worth mentioning that only the three-point contest is the Rockets' bench player Belinelli defeated a number of competitors, including Curry of the Warriors and Irving of the Cavaliers, to be elected the champion of the 2014 three-point contest.

As for the slam dunk contest, it was as lackluster as ever.

After the league's restructuring slam dunk contest, it has become a form of east-west confrontation, with three players from each side to dunk and win, and finally the fans vote for the slam dunk king among the three players on the winning side.

Under such rules, the game does increase the interaction with the fans, but the East-West versus dunk system leads to a game with no suspense and competitive tension at all, the whole dunk process is very boring, and none of the six participating players have good enough dunk moves.

Fortunately, the fans who were disappointed in the slam dunk contest watched a wonderful and extremely fierce East-West All-Star battle on the last day of the All-Star.

Although Wang Chao wants to paddle and play soy sauce in the All-Star Game, with his current popularity and coffee position, it is difficult to be invisible even if he wants to.

During the entire All-Star Game, Wang Chao played about 26 minutes, and his shots were all outside the three-point line, mostly focusing on ultra-long-distance three-point shooting, and the shooting rate was surprisingly high, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists on 7-of-11 shooting.

On the contrary, Durant, who is also a teammate with him, seemed to be on the same page as Wang Chao in the game, shooting crazy outside the three-point line, and the result was 6 of 17 shots, with a three-point shooting rate of only 35%, compared with Wang Chao, who was barely close to the three-point line one meter away, the gap is obvious.

However, a large number of shots still allowed Durant to gain a lot in terms of personal data, scoring 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, and was the highest scoring player in the Western All-Star and even the whole game.

Originally, if he won the game with this score, Durant would be elected this year's All-Star MVP, but in the fourth quarter of the game, the Eastern All-Stars set off a counterattack under the leadership of Irving and Anthony, and a wave of 12:0 attack wave directly reversed the score, and on the Western All-Star side, Durant and Harden missed consecutive shots outside the three-point line, as for Wang Chao, he always played soy sauce and did not have the idea of turning the tide, and as a result, the Western All-Stars led the whole game, As a result, in the final moments of the fourth quarter, it was reversed by the Eastern All-Star and lost the game.

Durant also failed to win the All-Star MVP, and this award was given to Carry, who had the best performance in the East, with 31 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists. Irving.

Looking at Irving, who lifted the All-Star MVP trophy high, Durant was a little unhappy again.

He glanced at Wang Chao with some displeasure, although he didn't say anything, but he was indignant in his heart.

"Damn, this thing actually plays me!"

Durant knows very well how strong Wang Chao is, and at the last moment, if Wang Chao makes a move, he will definitely be able to help the Western All-Stars stabilize the situation and win the game.

But Wang Chao didn't do that, like an eighty-year-old man walking slowly on the court, and when he received a basketball, he would immediately pass the ball out, and he didn't have the idea of attacking with the ball himself.

Durant didn't think that Wang Chao was trying to save energy and physical strength, but only felt that the other party was targeting him, and in order to prevent him from winning the All-Star MVP, he deliberately lost the game.

"Wang Chao, you wait, this year's scoring champion, I won't let you take it away again no matter what!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Durant and other teammates hugged and saluted one by one, but deliberately omitted Wang Chao.

Wang Chao hadn't noticed this yet, he was still thinking about the cool thing of touching fish, but suddenly, the system's long-lost prompt sounded.

"Ding - Triggers a random task."
