In the first quarter of the game, Wang Shuo just replaced Curry with Klay, and Klay, who came off the bench, hit four three-pointers on the court one after another.

On the court, Klay's excellent play not only provided Jefferson with a comfortable offensive environment on the inside, but also, under Paul's conduction, Leonard also got a lot of opportunities to cut off the ball.

The 76ers' rim-guarding ability isn't great, with Thompson and David Lee averaging just 0.4 and 0.7 blocks per game in their careers...... Based on this cap data, who is the front line who will not catch this 76ers and eat dumplings fiercely?

In addition, after the Hornets took the initiative to change the lineup, it was much more difficult for the 76ers to score through the singles of Holiday and Harden.

At this time, Harden is far from the peak of his individual ball-handling offense, and in the game, whether it is against Leonard or Klay, he can't take too much advantage.

Moreover, Harden's foul-making was nowhere near as good as usual on this night.

Because in the prestigious home stadium of the No. 1 Devils in the East, how much do the referees have to think about it to dare to favor the away team in terms of penalties?

At the end of the first quarter, the scoreboard was 25-37.

At home, the Hornets managed to build a double-digit lead under Paul's leadership.

Paul, who played the full first quarter, combined with two points, eight assists and three rebounds for the Hornets.

During internode breaks...... Because the Hornets almost broke the 76ers without Curry playing much in the first quarter, many Kuhei on the Internet were frantically typing on the keyboard, claiming that Curry was brought to a height that did not belong to him because his teammates were too strong.

In fact, in terms of the understanding of basketball alone, there is no problem with the understanding of this group of Kuhei.

Because as a team sport, even Michael Jordan needs a strong team to help him hold on until the moment he turns on the switch on the court.

At no time in the NBA is it possible for such and such a player to lead a group of CBA teammates to win the championship.

The depth of this Hornets lineup determines ......

All players, including Curry, are destined to become puzzle pieces for Wang Shuo to lead the team to the championship.

In the second quarter of the game, the Hornets were led by Curry, and the other four players on the court were Speight, Kirilenko, Butler, and Middleton.

The 76ers, on the other hand, are led by Crawford and Jeremy Lin, and the other three players on the court are Henry Simms, Patrick Patterson and Hollis Thompson.

As one of the best teams in the NBA this season, D'Antoni is confident that he can build an advantage for the 76ers with a second team against the vast majority of teams in the league.

However, in the face of this Wasp......

Facing Wang Shuo, who dares to use the MVP of the new regular season as a "super sixth man", ......

At this moment, D'Antoni only had a stomach full of grievances.

The 76ers, who have been precipitating in recent years, have finally relied on the family wealth they have saved for several years in exchange for the scenery of the new season.

Comparable to the Hornets on the opposite side tonight......

D'Antoni immediately felt what it meant to be shabby!

Fortunately, in the second quarter of the game, Crawford and Jeremy Lin both won the god card and worked together to support the situation on the court for the 76ers.

But the good times didn't last long......

On the court, after finding the feel of half the quarter, in the second half of the second quarter, Curry, who suddenly attacked on the court, immediately plunged into D'Antoni's chest as cruelly and ruthlessly as a dagger.

In the center of the spectrum, Curry, who hit his first three-pointer of the game with 5:35 left in the second quarter, hit his first three-pointer of the game around the pile with a cover, and then hit a difficult drifting three-pointer near the baseline in the next offensive round.

In the game, Holiday who was responsible for defending Curry at the time was stupid.

Because near the already narrow bottom line......

How could he have imagined that Curry would be able to pull out a shot in front of him in such a way after receiving the ball?

And the worst part is......

This is just the beginning of Curry's "day" in the second half of the second quarter.

On the court, at the end of 3 minutes and 08 seconds left in the second quarter, I saw Curry, who received a pass from Leonard, hit again at a position where he was still two meters away from the three-point line!

At this moment, Leonard, who inexplicably added an assist statistic, also showed an expression of disbelief.

Obviously.

It wasn't an attack that was planned by the Hornets.

But in Wang Shuo's basketball philosophy, in his manual for Curry, this kind of offense has become Curry's signature in recent years.

Immediately afterward, the 76ers, who were intimidated by Curry's presence on the outside, had to expand their defensive area in the following games.

Seeing this, Curry immediately adjusted his attack mode.

On the court, his arms grew thicker and thicker, and he made three consecutive offensive rounds to get the six free throws that Harden envied.

Staggered travel has been proven to be effective in improving a player's offensive efficiency on the field.

Curry, who didn't play much in the first quarter tonight, became more and more energetic in the second half of the second quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, after hitting a mid-range shot and a buzzer-beating three-pointer for the Hornets, Curry, who completely ignited the atmosphere in the center of the spectrum, not only scored 20 points in a single quarter for the seventh time this season......

And, on the scoreboard, the Hornets' lead was also extended to 21 points by Curry's critical hit.

At halftime, it was 54-75.

At halftime, D'Antoni said with a depressed face in an interview with the live host: "After Chris's return, this Hornets have definitely become stronger.

In my opinion, they have talented players at every position, and I think they are likely to be the most perfect team in NBA history. ”

D'Antoni is not wrong at all.

This wasp is the most outstanding one even in the eyes of Wang Shuo, who has coached many galactic battleships.

Especially on the premise that the captain of this Hornet is Curry.

It is true that even the Curry in Wang Shuo's memory has shortcomings here and there.

But you can't deny that Curry is a player with similar cornerstone attributes to Duncan.

In the 20/21 season, when the team was plagued by injuries, did you ever hear Curry, who failed to bring the Warriors to the playoffs in one season, complain about his teammates afterwards and force the team's management to bring in superstars and change the head coach in the summer?

Wang Shuo knows very well how much public pressure Curry is facing after the 20/21 season, and he also knows what kind of difficult situation the Warriors faced at that time.

However, as Iverson once said.

In this alliance, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

In fact, it only took one year for Curry to win his fourth NBA championship in the 21/22 season, leading the Warriors whose main framework has remained largely unchanged.

That's Stephen Curry.

On a case-by-case basis, he wasn't the best player in the NBA's second decade.

But in terms of overall quality, he is definitely the most suitable player in Wang Shuo's eyes to play the captain of the galaxy battleship Wasp for a long time.

Especially in his lifetime, after three years of internship with Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles.

In the third quarter of the game, Curry and Paul, who continued to take the stage together, proved it with their actions......

Maybe they're not the best solution for the Hornets backcourt against this 76ers.

But with Paul and Curry both finding their groove in the game, how should the 76ers face the historic backcourt pair of the Hornets on the defensive end?

Paul, who has just returned from injury, has been brushing up on assists this time.

In the second half of the game, Curry not only added several assists to Paul that were completely unreasonable, but Leonard and Garnett also frequently made a number of opportunities for Paul to show off the ball on the court.

In the center of the spectrum, I played all the passes that didn't look at people, the ground passes, and the crotch passes in this game.

On the court, the Hornets played more and more smoothly in the third quarter, while the 76ers completely collapsed in the third quarter.

In both past and present lives, D'Antoni's team has one striking trait in that his team has an incalculable ceiling......

His team's performance in the game is often beyond your imagination.

This time, Harden was dumb, David Lee was invisible, and the 76ers, who couldn't open the offense, couldn't save Crawford even if he drew the god card.

In the end, 97-131, the Hornets welcomed our cannon back from injury with a 34-point victory at home.

In the game, Paul, who played 24 minutes for the Hornets, totaled six points, 19 assists and five rebounds.

Undoubtedly.

Its efficiency of almost one assist a minute, even if Johnson and Stockton come, they have to be called the god of point guard!

In Wang Shuo's view, the only fly in the ointment is......

Because Jordan successfully plugged the loopholes in the rules of the NBA that year, even if Paul played all the games of the Hornets in the future, he would not be able to become the assist king this season due to lack of attendance.

On the bright side, though......

I dropped the chain in the matter of the assist king, so I can't say that I won't drop the chain in the playoffs this year?

Don't look at Wang Shuo, who usually can't help but complain about Paul whenever he has the opportunity, but in fact, no one knows better than Wang Shuo the importance of Paul to this wasp.

After the game, in an interview, Wang Shuo praised Paul's performance: "He didn't act like a player tonight who has been away from the NBA for three months.

He's full of energy on the pitch and I hope he can maintain that energy and play his leadership role on the pitch. ”

As for the praise from Wang Shuo, Paul also said with great emotional intelligence: "I can devote myself to the court immediately after returning from injury, just because my head coach is the person who knows me in the world."

I love playing under him and in my opinion, it's a lifetime honor to play for the king. ”

Paul, who had the option to jump out of his contract and sign a new contract with the Hornets this summer, has no plans to wait any longer.

Although he waits until next season to complete his final year contract with the Hornets, Paul can then get more salary through "bird rights".

But in order to prove his loyalty to Wang Shuo, Paul doesn't mind wronging himself in his next contract with the Hornets.

And, as president of the players' union, Paul knows very well that the NBA's salary space will definitely increase in the future.

Therefore, in Paul's view, it is better to give up the sesame seeds in front of him for the sake of the watermelon in the future, rather than lose the sesame seeds in front of him.

So, or Stern, who is about to retire after the Weekend of Stars, has been worried that Wang Shuo will play for a certain team for a long time?

Because in terms of Wang Shuo's appeal......

As long as he wants, there are stars in this league who are willing to take a pay cut to vote.

On the 10th, the NBA officially announced the East and West starters and substitutes for this year's New Orleans All-Star Weekend.

Eastern starters: Yao Ming, Griffin, Anthony, Wade, Curry.

Western starters: Jr. Plus, Love, Durant, Kobe, Lillard. (Rose retired due to injury and was replaced by Lillard)

Due to attendance, Paul was not qualified for All-Star Weekend this year.

But for Wade, who has been a star starting guard in the East for a long time, he is not happy at all.

Because the signs are already indicating......

His good brother Paul's popularity in the NBA has already quietly surpassed him.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, because his height was only "183" cm, Paul, whose height was closer to that of ordinary people, has always had a very high popularity at the peak of his career.

After all, compared to a superman like Wade......

Ordinary people are obviously more able to find a sense of substitution in Paul.

And as Paul's good brother, Wade naturally won't be jealous of Paul.

But as soon as the thought of having to play off the bench with James on Star Weekend, Wade felt uncomfortable.

No!

I was also the same person as Kobe Bryant back then!

Why, why should I play on the bench at Star Weekend with a player who hasn't even touched the floor of a division final?

No way.

In this life, the pattern of strong East and weak West has indeed affected the difficulty of the East and West being shortlisted for All-Star Weekend in a sense.

For example, this year's Lefour and Lillard, who are the beneficiaries of the "strong east and weak west" pattern.

Wang Shuo remembers that Lillard complained more than once about the fierce competition for guards in the West during this period.

However, in the second year of his career, he managed to make the All-Star starter......

But Lillard wasn't happy either.

Because on the Internet, the vast majority of fans think......

If it weren't for Rose's injury and the transfer of Lillard to the East, he probably wouldn't even have to play off the bench this year.

In addition to the East and West Advance List, this year's East and West Alternate List is as follows:

Eastern Conference bench seven: Pau Gasol, Duncan, George, Leonard, Westbrook, James, Harden.

Western Conference Bench Seven: Davis, Nowitzki, DeRozan, Parker, Ellis, Irving, Milicic.

In this life, the "Happy Beast", which happened to miss the All-Star Weekend due to injury for many years, has completely become a tragedy this year.

Due to the breakdown of contract renewal negotiations with his parent club Houston XX, coupled with the decline in form caused by repeated injuries in recent years, he has not only completely lost the support of Space City fans after averaging only 13.8 points and 10.5 rebounds per game for Space City this season......

And in the eyes of the world, he no longer deserves to be called a super center.

Now, let's not talk about a single exchange for James......

It is unclear whether "Happy Beast" will be able to get a big contract from another team this summer that will satisfy him.

In addition, after the release of the East and West star team lineup, the NBA official also confirmed the head coach of this year's star weekend "Speed Star" and "Power Star" for a while.

This year, Vogel will be the head coach of the Speed Stars.

The head coach of the "Power Star" team will be Wang Shuo.

On the morning of the 11th, through live TV, Wang Shuo and Vogel respectively completed their pre-game selection.

The Speed Stars 12-man roster is as follows: Yao Ming, Xiao Jia, Kobe, Anthony, Lillard, Pau Gasol, Nowitzki, Duncan, DeRozan, Harden, Irving, James.

The Power Stars 12 roster is as follows: Love, Griffin, Durant, Wade, Curry, Davis, Leonard, Westbrook, Parker, Ellis, George, Milicic.

When choosing their own candidates, Wang Shuo and Vogel are obviously teaming up this year.

But since it's All-Star Weekend......

Then it is not alive at this time......

And when?
