Chapter 126: The Emperor's Western Tour, the Strongest Center! (10,600 words, kneeling for subscriptions, monthly passes!) )

On this day, sitting in the office, the knight boss Gilbert has been thinking about a question:

That is, is James really as bad as people say he is?

This question seems to have been publicly discussed, but in fact, when the Cavaliers who really decided to trade James, they were ready to put James on the table, and they couldn't just look at the outside world's evaluation of James.

Because historically, we have been blinded by public opinion for a while, and as a result, after the transaction, there are fewer transactions that make the active trading party annoyed?

Far from it, let's take the Bulls management who has completely blacked out Wang Shuo.

Isn't the case of Tyson Chandler and Jamal Crawford enough for Cavaliers management to learn a lesson?

James's shortcomings, which have been criticized by the outside world all the time, need not be repeated.

Without the packaging of capital, he stands in front of the world without the "emperor's new clothes", even a hardcore Zhan Mi like Wang Shuo must admit that there are so many shortcomings of young Zhan.

Whether it is his basic skills, or his tactical literacy, and the way he plays, there are big flaws.

In particular, the young Zhan's ability to break out as soon as he encounters the top interior line has led to his long-term inability to lead the knights to break through from the east.

As a result, the only breakthrough was successful, and he was shaved by the Spurs.

And in the Finals of the 06/07 season, James shot only 35.6% from the field and 20% from three-point range, and averaged only 22 points, 6.8 assists and 7.0 rebounds per game for the Cavaliers, all of which were well below his playoff average that year.

But despite these shortcomings, you have to admit that James also has a lot of strengths.

For example, he is currently only 21 years old.

For example, his physical gift is visible to the naked eye as long as you're not blind.

James's age and talent determine that he is indeed a good piece of jade at this moment.

Historically, James' ability to average the Cavaliers with a "30+" per game while eating a lot of resources in the 05/06 season proves that he is not as good as people say.

In addition, the 05/06 season in the same period of history was also a major turning point in James' career.

Because it was after that season that the Cavaliers management, who identified James as Cleveland's "Son of Destiny", began to further increase their support for James.

And gradually transformed into a Cavaliers, where the whole team served only James.

It can be said that in this life, James's life in the past two and a half years has not been satisfactory, and Wang Shuo, James Mi, does have to bear the main responsibility.

Because if it weren't for everyone thinking that Wang Shuo, the "God of Coaches", was preparing to create a dynasty in Phoenix, how could the eastern part of this period be so difficult to fight?

Moreover, as the Knicks led by Wang Shuo gradually showed their championship appearance, the Eastern giants, who had previously invested a lot of money to strengthen them, had no choice but to continue to raise.

Because you can't let everyone choose to give up, causing all the previous costs to be wasted, right?

The hell mode in the east decided that the Cavaliers and James, who were not ready, could not play well with James's talent alone as Wang Shuo remembered.

In addition, after firing Mike Malone, the Cavaliers management indirectly offended the coaches of the "Wang Shuo Department".

Without the defensive system created by Mike Brown, under the leadership of a ghost like Byron Scott, it would have been okay for the Cavaliers to have a poor record......

However, fate quietly played a joke on them.

That is, with the acquisition of Marvin Williams in the 2005 draft, the Cavaliers management will inevitably lean some resources towards Williams.

After all, James at this time is not the man who can let the team overdraft the future for him.

Without opening his eyes, Williams' talent determined that no matter how the Cavaliers positioned him, it was impossible for the Cavaliers to focus all their resources on James.

And then......

It is the "81 tragedy" that is the root of all evil.

This tragedy, while almost destroying all the confidence and enthusiasm of Clevelands, also made James's reputation completely low.

In an attempt to salvage the situation, the Cavaliers management then rushed to exchange Webb from the king.

As a result, the Cavaliers not only failed to start bottoming out as they expected, but also because of Webb's joining, a strong "anti-James force" began to form within the Cavaliers.

Originally, Williams, who was euphemistic, decisively chose to throw the pot to James with his teammates and coaches for the sake of his future for the sake of his future.

But even so, James' talent determines that he can still get a certain voice within this Cavaliers team.

Can......

The so-called internal and external troubles have been proven countless times in history, and often these two brothers will appear together.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

As a result of this life, Spoelstra opened a new door in Phoenix......

And the direct result of this chain reaction is that Wade, who is in the same class as James, is now fighting indiscriminately with the script of the starting point Shuangwen actor.

Affected by the tactical change, Anthony, who already has a high degree of technical completion, also benefited from this, and played better personal data through the "magic ball play".

In addition, the rookies of the 03 golden generation have exploded one after another this year because of various coincidences.

James, the "top pick", will naturally suffer a "crisis of confidence" both internally and externally.

Now, it's time to make a decision, Daniel Gilbert.

It is to leave this young "human background board essence".

Or do you want to continue the search for Cleveland's true destiny?

On February 3, 2006, Wang Shuo had just led the Knicks to defeat the visiting Trail Blazers in the basketball mecca.

That night, he saw the news that the Cavaliers had made a trade with the Clippers.

Under the deal, the Cavaliers will send Zajunas Ilgoskas and LeBron James, Elton Brand, Sam Kassel, Catino Mobley from the Clippers, and the Clippers' 2007 and 2009 first-round picks (unprotected).

In this deal, although the salaries of the two teams are not equal, because the Cavaliers pardoned Chris Webber before the deal was completed, the Cavaliers' salary space can be eaten into the contracts of Brandon, Cassel and Mobley after the trade goes big and James.

Ha?

You say the knights after pardoning Webb......

Isn't that the same as giving King Gooden, Vallejo and their 2006 first-round picks?

Yes.

But there is no way.

Because compared to Williams, whose future is promising, Webb's performance since coming to Cleveland has made the Cavaliers management understand how stupid their previous trade with the Kings was.

Coupled with the fear that Webber would continue to stay on the team to teach bad children, the Cavaliers management could only amnesty Webb with tears.

In the NBA, this kind of unjust operation is not uncommon, especially when it happens to the Cavaliers management, which makes even more sense.

The knight was ready to do it all over again.

Judging from the data, Brand can average "24+10" star forwards per game this season.

And as the top pick in 1999, Brand is also in his current year.

As for Cassel, although he is a little older, he can still contribute 12.8 points and 5.4 assists per game this season, which will be a good addition to the Cavaliers' weak guard line.

And Mobley, nicknamed "Old Cat", is currently a good pitcher on the market, averaging 14.8 points per game this season and a career three-point shooting rate of nearly 38%.

Of course, in order to compensate James for his talent, the Clippers also traded their two first-round picks from 2007 and 2009 to the Cavaliers without protection in this deal.

This transaction, without opening any eyes in the sky, is absolutely undeceiving, fair and just.

Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor admires James and feels the kid resembles him in many ways.

For example, Baylor was famous for his all-rounder.

In Baylor's view, James is also very comprehensive.

In addition, in the dark, Lord Baylor always felt that James was very close to him in some temperament.

However......

That is, Wang Shuo doesn't know what Lord Belle thinks, otherwise he will definitely tell Lord Baylor, why are you two close?

In history, Baylor and James, an eight-time overall runner-up, a six-time overall runner-up, and even their career highest single-game score is 61 points!

After this deal is completed, in Wang Shuo's view, it will be a win-win-win deal for both the Cavaliers, the Clippers and James.

The Cavaliers acquired some of their immediate power and acquired two future first-round picks from the Clippers.

As for the Clippers, who want as long as there is traffic, whether good or bad, they not only cleared up salary space through this deal, but they also successfully obtained James's own traffic.

Ha?

Where do you say James is getting the traffic now?

No, isn't it traffic to be scolded?

Isn't black powder not powder?

As for James, in the case of leaving Cleveland without making a decision, he is destined to have a relationship with Los Angeles, and he can even start "school district room basketball" in advance.

Although the Clippers have a "100 million" gap with the Lakers in Los Angeles.

But you're saying that the home of the Clippers is not the Staples Center, and whether the Clippers are a team in Los Angeles?

And, leaving aside the Clippers' current roster......

If James only wants data, then he will definitely be able to brush up on Excel in this Clippers.

In addition, on the Clippers, James was even able to play "bro basketball" with Chris Carman.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Carman had said in public more than once that he was a die-hard fan of James.

Therefore, on the Clippers, James has no worries that Carman, the big brother, will backstab himself.

"Brother basketball" and "school district room basketball" are in place in one step.

Moreover, there is no need to carry the black pot brought by "Decision One", "Decision Two" and "Decision Three", which those black fans "forcibly" deducted to themselves.

At this moment, even a hardcore jam like Wang Shuo couldn't help but sigh that James had taken at least 20 years less detours in this life!

No doubt.

Although the deal was not an earthquake in February 2006, it was definitely a ...... that will go down in history

- "Great deal"!

Pack your bags and start your journey again.

In Los Angeles, the City of Angels, James is about to embark on a new journey in his career.

On the 4th, the Knicks were on the road, just in time for their third loss of the season.

Due to back-to-back games, Wang Shuo once again "intelligently rotated" Yao Ming and Duncan in this game with the Wizards.

But in this game, the reason why the Knicks lost to the Wizards on the road......

Mainly because of the two "rebels" of Arenas and Gasol, they played a near-perfect game in the MCI center.

On the sidelines, touching his bulging little belly, looking at Arenas who hit one after another ultra-long three-pointers for the Wizards on the court, at this moment, Wang Shuo always felt that he was very similar to Dong Zhuo who was stabbed by Lu Bu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This season, Arenas has been in hot form.

Not long ago, this guy just led the Wizards to knock out the Lakers on the road.

In that game, he not only scored 60 points in front of Staples in front of Kobe, but after the game, he also bowed to the home fans and thanked him.

In this game, Arenas, who was still hot, shot 14 of 24 from the field, including 9 of 14 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws, totaling 43 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists for the Wizards.

In addition, Gasol also scored 29 points and added 16 rebounds in this game for a luxurious double-double.

In the end, with the last possession left by Wang Shuo to the Wizards, the excellent play of the twin stars Gasol and Arenas, the Wizards became the third team to beat the Knicks this night.

The final score was 107-114.

On the 6th and 7th, the Knicks played another round of back-to-backs.

The opponents are the 76ers and the Raptors.

Wang Shuo's other "rebel" Hamilton played average on the night of the 6th.

But in the race, he successfully ran and vomited the always conscientious old Finley.

Through three-pointers and frantic transition offense, the 76ers maintained the lead in the final quarter under Nash's leadership.

But in the final quarter, as the Knicks gave the 76ers a wave of intensity, the 76ers, who missed 11 consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line, lost their previous good situation.

TNT TV, when commenting on the game, Barkley said speechlessly: "Isn't it possible that the 76ers won't have any other way to attack than three points?"

David Lee has been doing well this season, so why are they so obsessed with three-point shooting? ”

On the evening of the 6th, the finishing score of the two teams was 121-110.

If the 76ers at home were not so obsessed with three-point shooting in the final quarter, the final outcome of this game would indeed be unpredictable.

On the 7th, the Knicks returned to their home court, Madison Square Garden, to face the Raptors.

In this game, Wang Shuo did not take turns to rest Yao Ming and Duncan.

Because the old New York fans of the Star-Spangled Banner bought tickets to enter the stadium just to see the "meme combination".

Led by "Dragon King" Paul, the Raptors are currently ranked eighth in the East as of February 7 and are likely to be the Knicks' opponent in the first round of the playoffs this year.

But in this game, neither I cannon nor Bosh could find the feeling of the game.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, no matter what stage of his career, Bosh was very afraid of Duncan.

Even in the later years of his career, Duncan once played a crushing game like "24-0" against Bosh.

And "I cannon" was repeatedly beaten by Rondo in the low back in this game.

Last summer, Rondo, who practiced a low-post back-to-back singles with Grover, became "Lang Center" in this game, and he scored a total of 12 points for the team in this game, all in the three-second zone.

On the 9th, the Knicks defeated the Bulls with a score of 108-94 at the Union Center.

At the same time, on the 9th, the NBA officially announced the starting list of the East and West Star teams of the Houston Star Weekend.

Yao Ming won the All-Star vote with 6.75 million votes this year.

The Houston Stars started the East and West Stars over the weekend as follows:

Eastern Stars: Yao Ming, Duncan, Hill, Wade, Nash.

Western Stars: Howard, Smalls, Anthony, Kobe, Iverson.

Although statistically, the elder Hill has only averaged 13.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game due to the team's tactical adjustments this year, but in the vote for the Eastern forward position, he still beat Garnett, Pierce and Bosh.

As for the West, Howard has also become the starting center for the Western Stars this year due to the lack of star players at the Western center position.

Later on the 9th, the substitute list of this year's Eastern and Western Star Teams was also announced:

Eastern Stars subs: Garnett, Bosh, Pierce, O'Neal, Gasol, Arenas, Ray Allen.

Western Stars subs: Nowitzki, Kidd, Marion, Tyson Chandler, Milicic, Parker, Kirilenko.

This year, the head coaches in charge of the East-West Stars are Wang Shuo and Steve Cole.

In January, I don't know if it was because of Kobe's outrageous performance of 65 points in the third quarter, or Stan Van Gundy's CPU was overloaded again, and the Mavericks have been overtaken by the Suns in the record rankings and slipped to second place in the West.

In addition, thanks to the Grizzlies' outstanding performance this year, Milicic was also selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career.

The boxing champion who switched to the Mavericks is averaging 12.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game this season, and is currently recognized as the best center player in the West except for Howard.

Since this year's Star Weekend was held in Houston, Yao Ming also found Wang Shuo on a rare day, hoping that Wang Shuo could help him win an All-Star Game MVP.

Hearing this, after taking a look at the starting lineup of the Western Stars, Wang Shuo smiled: "No problem, before the start of the Star Weekend, I will give you plenty of rest time, so that you have enough physical fitness to compete for the MVP of this year's All-Star Game." ”

Before the star weekend, the Knicks have three games to play.

Wang Shuo took a break from Yao Ming in the two games on the 11th and 16th respectively on the grounds of "sore arms" and "sore hips".

In this regard, because he was worried that Yao Ming would miss the All-Star weekend due to injury, Stern did not issue fines to Wang Shuo and the Knicks this time.

On the 16th, after easily beating the Bucks at home, the Knicks continued to lead the league with a record of 48 wins and 3 losses.

On the 17th, Wang Shuo and his entourage officially arrived in Houston.

After participating in a series of activities according to the alliance's arrangement, Wang Shuo watched this year's rookie challenge in the hotel that night, while talking about hundreds of millions of cooperation projects with the "widow sister".

Although in terms of strength, the rookie team in the East with David Lee, Granger, and Paul was more favored before the game, but in the game, Deron Williams was the opponent who blew up my cannon.

Under the leadership of De Xiaopang, the Western Rookie Team successfully caused an upset, and DeLong also won the MVP of this year's NBA Rookie Challenge with 27 points and 10 assists.

After the game, DeLong said in an interview that it was the cooperation of everyone on the court that made him the MVP of this year's Rookie Challenge.

But in Wang Shuo's opinion......

On this night, the person DeLong should be most grateful to is me.

Because of the post-game Western Rookie team's celebration banquet, if Paul doesn't come, who will dare to go to the table?

On the evening of the 18th, the NBA's individual events continued at the Toyota Center.

The Clippers' new captain, LeBron James, has the same memory as Wang remembers signing up for this year's Skills Challenge.

James' team hopes to show people just how "good" James' skills really are by participating in the Skills Challenge.

Then, this gang of traitors successfully made James Wade's background board.

Compared to the history of this year's Skills Challenge, which will also be lost to Wade......

This year's defeat, given that the historical background has changed drastically, is destined to have a different effect.

On this night, both the commentators in China and the United States, as well as the fans on the scene and in front of the TV, further deepened the stereotype that James was born to play a supporting role for Wade.

In the three-point contest that followed, the three-point contest with Duncan, Nowitzki, Yao Ming, and Gasol finally won the championship in one fell swoop.

But people are clearly more concerned than the game itself, and there are now more and more big men in the league who shoot threes.

With the development and change of modern basketball, compared with the traditional interior line, today's NBA interior players are obviously no longer satisfied with dominating the three-second zone.

Some argue that such a change is an evasion, a manifestation of the fact that the inner line of the alliance is becoming weaker and weaker today.

For example, O'Neal and Big Ben, in an interview, the two guys said that there are fewer and fewer tough guys in the league today.

Then, the New York media released a video of Yao Ming and Duncan taking turns blasting the two brothers in the game, and commented: "Yes, Shaq and Ben are the two soft eggs in today's league!" ”

In this regard, O'Neill and Big Ben are very angry.

But they couldn't find an angle to refute the New York media.

Because in the past two years, they have indeed been hammered by Yao Ming very badly in the competition.

In fact, for the sport of basketball, with the progress of the times and the innovation of tactics, it is not only the interior players who need to have better projection skills.

It's about players in every position, who need to have more solid dribbling, passing, and shooting skills.

On the basketball court, does not practicing shooting well mean that you are tough?

What is the essence of the sport of basketball?

Maybe its tactics are developing, maybe the players will get better and better in the future.

But no matter what era it is, the fundamentals are the key to determining whether a player can move to the next level.

Of course, the New York media's evaluation of O'Neill and Big Ben was similarly overblown.

After all, O'Neill and Big Ben are both players with unique skills.

However, who made these two accidentally injure the adorable Tyrannosaurus Rex in the minds of New York fans?

In addition, the championship of the slam dunk contest on the evening of the 18th was won by Nate Robinson, who is only "175" cm tall.

However, Robinson was able to win this year's slam dunk contest.

Chunchun is only because he takes advantage of his height.

Because in terms of the excitement of the dunk alone, Iguodala is the obvious winner of this year's slam dunk contest.

Toyota Center, compared with the previous unique three-point contest, many fans feel that this year's slam dunk contest is boring.

On the morning of the 19th, Wang Shuo, who had a good night's sleep in the company of the humanoid pillow, participated in the NBA official event at noon that day, and gave the players a rough explanation of the game tactics of tonight's star game when the Eastern Star team practiced together in the afternoon.

In this Eastern Star team, due to the relationship between Spoelstra and D'Antoni, Wade and Nash can be counted as Wang Shuo's own people.

As for Gasol and Arenas, the two "rebels", no matter how "rebellious" they meet on the court, they have to be obedient when they play under Wang Shuo.

And the Green Army's new Big Three and Ray Allen obviously want to paddle more on the Star Weekend.

In addition, O'Neal intends to have a good relationship with Yao Ming, so after listening to Wang Shuo's tactics explained in the afternoon, everyone has no opinions, and they are willing to help Yao Ming become the MVP of this year's Houston Star Weekend.

On the evening of the 19th, the Star Weekend officially kicked off.

During the appearance ceremony, the members of the East and West Star Team each prepared an awkward dance.

But without James's opening awkward dance of the All-Star Game, Wang Shuo obviously felt a little less flavorful.

At this moment, Wang Shuo also hopes that James can lead the Clippers to play well next season, at least to brush up on his personal data.

Otherwise, it's 2006......

03 In the golden generation, the top five rookies, but only the noble champion has not participated in the All-Star Game.

How do you think this can make Wang Shuo, the hardcore Jammy, hold his head up?

In the center of the field, after the jump ball, the Western Stars who are fighting at home attack first.

Due to the changing trajectory of history, this year's Western Stars want to help Kobe Bryant win the MVP of the All-Star Game.

That's because before the game, Arroyo Harris, the mother-in-law of "Lone Star" Maddy, had just passed away due to illness, and Kobe Bryant hoped to use this year's All-Star Game MVP to motivate his friends not to give up on basketball.

On the court, after Wade burst into the restricted area under Wade's defense, Kobe's layup was blocked by Yao Ming, who did not speak martial arts.

The young Kobe Bryant never expected that someone would show a serious attitude towards the game at the beginning of the star weekend.

Coming back, the Eastern Stars attacked, and after following the triangle offense, Yao Ming singled Howard in the low post.

Howard doesn't have much to do with Yao Ming in this position.

When Yao Ming turned left and right successively, Howard was successfully deceived by Yao Ming.

Then, with Yao Ming scoring the ball with a "murderous" Shanghai dance step, on the sidelines, Olajuwon and Ewing began to hug each other and cry again.

At the scene in Houston, the Sky City fans who saw this scene were also very uncomfortable, and they shouted "Dwight, Dwight", hoping that this "Warcraft" could find a place in front of Yao Ming!

The Western Stars attacked, and Bryant saw this and hoisted the ball into Howard's hand.

After all, on the big stage of the star weekend, Kobe, who has never been disappointed, cannot sweep the excitement of the home fans at such a time.

In the low post, Howard leaned on Yao Ming after winning the ball, and after squeezing Yao Ming with his muscles, he also used the "dream dance steps" taught to him by "Big Dream" in a similar way.

On the spot, if it weren't for the fact that it was an All-Star Game, the referees would have blown Howard for walking at the first time.

But even if the referees gave Howard enough face, next, Howard still had so many hundred million points when he shot.

Under Yao Ming's interference, Howard, who was overpowered, directly hooked the basketball to Wang Shuo, who was chatting with Arenas on the bench at the time.

And at the moment of getting the ball, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Wang Shuo also shot the ball from the bench into the net with a schoolboy-style shot after shooting the basketball twice!

At the Toyota Center, the fans who saw this scene immediately cheered and applauded Wang Shuo.

CCTV, Director Zhang smiled: "Hey, why don't Wang Shuore go down and fight?" ”

On the side, Yu Jia echoed: "Eh, don't say it, if the league really allows it, maybe the fans really want to see Wang Shuo play on the court." ”

Tell the truth.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, at his peak, he was also a folk master who was called "Southwest Curry" by fans in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Ha?

You say that as the head of Jammy, why is Wang Shuo more like Stephen Curry when playing basketball?

Belch......

Is it possible that, on the field, to say that you play like James often means that you only play with your body?

On the court, Wang Shuo's off-court three-pointer successfully shared the pressure on Howard.

When retreating, Howard also deliberately gave Wang Shuo a thumbs up.

Eastern Stars serve sideline balls.

After Nash dribbled past half court, Yao Ming, Duncan, and Wade played the triangle.

Wang Shuo felt that such a play was a bit of a waste of Nash's organizational ability, and was ready to replace Ray Allen and Arenas to partner Yao Ming after a while.

Although he had to help Yao Ming brush up on the data in this game, Wang Shuo also had to take care of the other players in the team and the emotions of the fans.

Bang, boom!

Under the basket, after squeezing away Howard, Yao Mingqiang scored again.

This time, the same solid inside footsteps can be said to be extremely sad to see Olajuwon and Ewing.

You say that our apprentice, why doesn't he have any offensive talent at all?

In this quarter of the game, Houston and Olajuwon and Ewing were soon played into autistic mode by Yao Ming.

Again, that's the same sentence.

There is no harm without contrast.

In fact, this season, Howard has gradually won the hearts and minds of local Houston fans.

Because this kid's defense is really outrageous.

But this night, against the backdrop of Yao Ming, Howard is destined to only be Yao Ming's background board.

On the court, after playing a few more rounds, looking at Yao Ming, who had already scored 8 points in the first quarter, Wang Shuo decisively replaced Hill and Nash with Ray Allen and Arenas.

"Steve, take a good rest, and I'll switch to a fast-break lineup in the second quarter to play to your strengths." When Nash left the game, Wang Shuo patted Nash on the shoulder and said.

Hearing this, Nash smiled slightly, and returned to the bench with a happy face.

In this game, in addition to Yao Ming's singles in the low post, the sensible Wade also fed Yao Ming on the court many times after breaking through.

"Hook" plans to arrange for Wade to travel to China this summer to promote his new sneakers, so on the court, Wade is also deliberately trying to curry favor with Chinese fans.

So either say, people Wade in Madison Square Garden won't be renamed?

In the second half of the first quarter, Kerr took a lap around the Western Stars bench and replaced Nowitzki to carry Yao Ming.

One might ask.

Aren't there still Chandler and Milicic on the Western Stars bench?

Why didn't Cole use them?

First of all, because the relationship at Phoenix didn't get along well last year, Kerr didn't plan to give Chandler too much playing time tonight.

Secondly, Milicic has been transformed into a modern power forward in the Grizzlies, and this guy has proven that he can't carry Yao Ming in the game against the Knicks.

However, even if Cole was replaced by Chandler, it would be useless.

Because Chandler is also afraid of opposing Yao Ming.

In the first quarter of the game, after playing 8 minutes for the Eastern Stars, Yao Ming, who shot 8 of 9, returned to the bench with 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

Wang Shuo replaced O'Neal in the second half of the quarter, using him and Garnett to partner on the inside, and replaced Wade with Pierce.

After O'Neal came on the court in this quarter, he deliberately played a treasure, and after grabbing the rebound, he directly passed the ball to Wang Shuo on the sidelines.

Wang Shuo did not refuse O'Neal's kindness, and after taking off his coat and dribbling forward to the logo area, the elementary school logo scored three points again!

Although this three-point shot will definitely not be counted in the score of the two teams tonight, at the moment when Wang Shuo scored, O'Neal rushed to him at the first time and lifted him up.

This three-point shot once again detonated the whole game, and many fans felt that the tickets they bought at a high price tonight were earned back because of Wang Shuo's two three-pointers.

And CCTV, when Wang Shuo took off his coat and was about to dribble to the frontcourt, Yu Jia also explained very cooperatively: "What? Wang Shuo, the head coach of the Eastern Stars, is warming up! ”

On the court, the score of the two teams was 45-37 in the first quarter of the night.

In the second quarter of the game, Wang Shuo changed the lineup to Gasol, Garnett, Wade, Ray Allen, and Nash.

This lineup has a strong impact, and there is also Ray Allen on the periphery to provide fire support.

In this quarter, the Eastern Stars frequently played wonderful fast attacks on the court.

Nash had seven assists in the first seven minutes of the second quarter.

On the other hand, on the side of the Western Stars, Kerr, whose CPU has been burned, relies more on the singles of Kobe, Anthony and others on the court.

In this quarter of the game, the Eastern Stars quickly opened up the difference between the two teams.

And Yao Ming, who traveled at a staggered time in the second half, also reminded Chandler, who finally got the chance to play, the memory that was already dead.

At halftime, it was 94-77.

In the first half, Yao Ming shot 13 of 16 and 2 of 2 free throws, totaling 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks for the Eastern Stars.

Due to the average defensive intensity of the All-Star Game, after getting plenty of opportunities to perform, if it weren't for Wang Shuo to take care of the emotions of other players, Yao Ming's scoring performance tonight would have been even more terrifying.

After halftime, in the third quarter of the game, Yao Ming also shot a few three-pointers from the outside.

Wang Shuo's section allowed Yao Ming to fill a full section.

And Yao Ming also lived up to expectations with an outstanding performance of 6 of 9 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored another 19 points and 4 rebounds for the Eastern Stars in a single quarter.

In the final quarter, by increasing the defensive intensity, the Western Stars recovered some points in the first half of the final quarter.

Wang Shuo only replaced Yao Ming in the last four minutes of the quarter.

And after getting plenty of rest, Yao Ming also used his performance in the last 4 minutes to score 8 points for the Eastern Stars to seal the victory for the Eastern Stars in one fell swoop.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 168 to 154.

In the whole game, Yao Ming, who scored a total of 55 points and 14 rebounds for the Eastern Stars, not only broke the single-game scoring record of the All-Star Game in one fell swoop, but also deservedly won the MVP of this year's All-Star Game.

After the game, more and more people began to think that as long as Yao Ming can lead the Knicks to win a championship, he will be the best center in NBA history.

After two years of incessant brainwashing by the New York media, Yao Ming's strength has been recognized by the world.

And Stern, who watched the whole All-Star Game on the spot, felt that Wang Shuo's star-making ability was really terrifying at this moment.

Because just as far as Yao Ming's 55 points in this game are concerned, even Yao Ming himself, he won't feel that he is very good.

Just like Wang Shuo's previous life, Anthony Davis wouldn't have used the 52 he cut in Star Weekend to show off everywhere.

But when Yao Ming is paired with the publicity of New York, in the absence of a championship, Yao Ming's reputation in the circle of center at the moment ......

It can only be described as sad when the "big dream" is heard, and Chamberlain is in tears.

After the main game of the star weekend, on the 21st, in the game between the Knicks and the Heat, Wang Shuo took turns to rest Yao Ming and Duncan.

Some people may ask, Wang Shuo is so rested, isn't he worried that Yao Ming and Duncan will have too many games to rest this season, which will affect them to compete for major awards?

Of course worried.

But for Yao Ming and Duncan, who both have regular season MVPs at the moment, these two brothers obviously want to win the championship in addition to the next dungeon.

Last season, after getting the DPOY, in addition to Duncan, who has completed the "Grand Slam" in the national team competition, he only wants to prove himself with a ring now.

Last season, Yao Ming, who won the scoring title, the rebounding champion, and the regular season MVP, also hopes to lead the Knicks to taste the championship again after a 33-year absence.

On the 21st, the Knicks, who lacked the "emoji combination", finally lost 103-115 after four quarters of hard fighting with the Heat, and suffered the team's fourth defeat of the season.

But in late February, the Knicks' other rivals weren't as lucky as the Heat.

After defeating the Pistons, 76ers, Pacers and Wizards, the Knicks continued to lead the league with a 52-4 record after the February game.

And, more and more people are beginning to believe that this Knicks will set a new NBA all-time best this season!

For Jordan, who has been staring at the Knicks' record this season, now, he can only pray that the Celtics, who have not played against the Knicks this season, can snipe the Knicks.

On March 1, the NBA officially announced the list of winners of the major awards in February.

Wade and Iverson were named the Eastern and Western Player of the Month for February, respectively.

Granger and Deron were named the Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month in February, respectively.

On the 2nd, the Knicks visited the North Shore Garden Arena to challenge the Celtics, who are currently ranked fourth in the East.

After trading Maddie for Carter, the Celtics managed to run a 14-game winning streak under Rivers' leadership from late January to the start of this game.

The reason they currently sit fourth in the East is simply because the Knicks, who are in the Atlantic Division with them, occupy a top-three spot in the East.

Therefore, according to the NBA ranking rules at this time, even if they have surpassed the Pistons in terms of record, they can only rank fourth in the East.

This game was in the spotlight before the game.

After being traded to the Celtics, Carter shot 44.1% from three-point range in games played for the Celtics, basically from the outside.

As Wang Shuo had previously expected, Carter is a better fit for the Celtics than Maddie.

In addition, after Angie brought in Kevin Eastman as Rivers' head assistant coach, with the help of Eastman, the former head of basketball skill development for the "hook", Rivers also successfully activated Tony Allen, who was previously unused under O'Brien.

And don't say it, for this Celtics team that has just experienced a losing season, Rivers' chicken soup for the soul really works!

On the night of the 2nd, the Celtics team was full of fighting spirit, and everyone was confident that they would pick off the league's hegemon Knicks in this game!

On the field, with the end of the warm-up, the big screen on the scene immediately gave the starting list of the two teams tonight.

Knicks: Yao Ming, Duncan, Hill, Finley, Rondo.

Celtics: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Carter, Payton.

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the Knicks have the ball.
