On February 18, the Los Angeles All-Star Weekend officially kicked off.

Most of the Bulls teams participated in All-Star Weekend this year, mainly for the Rookie Challenge, of course.

It's worth mentioning that this year's Rookie Challenge was a bit exciting.

The first-year team starts with Wall, Eric Bledsoe, Derrick Favors, Griffin, and Cousins.

The 209 and 10 champions are combined, and the second-grade team is naturally very difficult to top.

In the end, Wall relied on the exaggerated data of 12 points and 22 assists to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

By the next day, the Bulls' rookies were still gone.

In the skills challenge, of course, there was a big joke that Paul couldn't score a basket, but Curry, who was the defending skills king, played tricks in the preliminary round, made mistakes in the back pass, wasted a lot of time, and finally failed to reach the finals.

And in the finals, Wei Shao, who took the least time in the preliminary round, may be a little nervous, first shooting twice in a row, and then passing the ball three times, which is undoubtedly giving up the king of skill to Rose.

A little mention of Ross, who is now the king's new leader.

However, under the influence of the Bulls' three consecutive championships and Doon's three consecutive FMVPs, Rose was not the No. 1 pick in '08, but slipped to the second pick.

The No. 1 pick in '08 was Beasley, who abused Durant from childhood to adulthood.

This is actually quite normal. It's like Kwame Brown was able to become the top pick, which was somewhat influenced by O'Neal's second consecutive FMVP.

Even Yao Ming became the champion show, more or less with the light of O'Neill's triple FMVP.

Looking back at the previous years, Doon led the Bulls to dominate the entire NBA, and more and more teams noticed the influence of super forwards on the court.

is as strong as the four quarterbacks, and they can't get close to Jordan's level, at most, Kobe Bryant has a bit of Jordan's appearance at the technical level.

But judging from the results of the finals, Kobe Bryant's strength was not bad, and his teammates were not bad, but he was still defeated by Doon one after another.

Comparing the super guard with the super small forward, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion - the current version of the answer is the super forward!

And at this point in time in '08, Beasley's appearance really made the eyes of many NBA team general managers shine.

He was explosive in high school, and he didn't play badly in college, and just looking at his physical talent and offensive skills, Beasley did have a top-notch level.

Looking at Beasley's draft report, Beasley scored a high score of 103 points in the rating column alone.

Although trailing Ross by 104 points, Beasley scored lower in two areas of leadership and mental attributes.

Just like Wiggins's draft report score is only 99 points, the key is that leadership and mental attributes are dragging its feet.

If you just look at physical talent, even if you can't become a superstar, you still have no problem being a defensive giant.

However, most of the top picks have failed to meet the expectations of fans since entering the NBA, either due to injuries or mental problems.

Now Ross, who has more excellent mental attributes, has already played out, while Beasley is still getting by, relying on his talent to make a living.

Having said that, in this year's three-point contest, Durant and Curry competed on the same stage.

One thing to say, Durant performed a little better than Jordan, scoring 6 points, which is 1 point higher than Jordan.

Curry scored 20 points in the first round, but he was still nervous in the finals, and he lost his rhythm from the first shot, and finally only scored 16 points.

James Jones, the Heat's sharpshooter and second-round pick of the 03 Platinums generation, defeated Ray Allen and Curry to lift the three-point title.

In the slam dunk contest, the Bulls sent Ibaka, but lost to Griffin to a sponsor, and in the end nothing came to fruition.

Considering that Doon had already won the All-Star MVP last year, this also means that this year, the Bulls and the gang are all here to join in the fun.

Time is in a blink of an eye to the evening of the 21st, and the All-Star Game is about to start.

Staples Center, away locker room.

"Brother, long time no see, now I need your help."

As soon as Doon walked in the door, Wade greeted him and got straight to the point, wanting Doon to help him so that he could win this year's All-Star MVP.

Hearing this, Doon smiled slightly, first gave Wade a simple hug, then patted him on the shoulder, and promised, "I will do my best to help you." ”

The Heat and the Bulls are one win away, and Doane naturally won't be unaware of the situation on the Heat team.

With the Big Three configuration and a group of veterans who want to win championship rings, it stands to reason that such a team should have soared into the sky.

You must know that the Bulls' record at the beginning of the season was not good, and it was only in the last two months that they continued to catch up.

The Heat can be caught up by the Bulls, which also means that there is a lot of internal friction in the team, and Wade, the big leader of the team, cannot fully control the team.

Because of this, Wade needs an All-Star MVP to rebuild his prestige within the Heat team, twist the Heat up and down, and attack the second championship of his career.

As an opponent, Doon originally didn't want to help with this, but when he thought of James on the Heat team, he was relieved.

"KG, how are you doing?" After Doon promised Wade, he took the initiative to find the veteran Garnett.

The Celtics don't have the internal friction of the Heat, but because Pierce and Garnett have suffered injuries one after another, the team's record is not as good as the Bulls.

Garnett also returned from injury some time ago.

As teammates who fought side by side with the Bulls dynasty, Doon naturally had to care.

And after a season and a half, Garnett has been relieved that the Bulls traded him.

After a few words, Garnett began to use an exaggerated and joking tone, saying that the Bulls are too strong this season, and Doane is doing too well, and when the All-Star Weekend is over, everyone here will target the Bulls together.

Doon doesn't have a problem with that, and he hasn't been chasing regular season results much this season.

However, if we can secure the top two records in the East, and then brush up on a gorgeous statistic, it will help Doon regain the regular season MVP.

So far this season, Doon has averaged 27.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, which is still sacrificing some ball possession in order to develop rookies.

If Curry, Evans, and Ibaka can't solve the rookie wall problem as soon as possible, then there is a month or two left for Doane to think more about personal honors.

"Guys, it's time to play!" Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra informed the players that the All-Star Game was about to begin.

The Heat's No. 1 record in the East this season also gave Coach Spo the opportunity to coach an All-Star team for the first time.

However, after the All-Star Game officially began, Spo learned the style of a Zen master and did not give instructions to the Eastern All-Stars.

At most, when making personnel adjustments, consider letting the Heat triumvirate play more time on the court.

It is also because of Spo's help that Wade got more balls and scoring opportunities in this All-Star Game.

As early as the first three quarters, Wade scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and all the data that should be brushed has been brushed.

In the fourth quarter, the All-Stars of the East and West played a real game, and Doon kept his promise to do everything in his power to help Wade win the game as he had originally promised in the locker room.

Doon had already won the All-Star MVP last year, and even if he scored 30 points in the fourth quarter, he probably wouldn't have ruined Wade's plan to be an All-Star MVP.

So under Doon's sudden strength, the Western All-Star team was also a little confused, why did Doon work so hard and why did he play so fiercely?

It was also because Doon scored an 8-point advantage in the first half of the fourth quarter, and Wade tried to take over the game in the second half of the quarter, not only to increase the scoring statistics in an orderly manner, but also to win the game.

131-127, the Eastern Conference All-Stars won the All-Star Game by four points.

In the end, Wade also got his wish and won the second All-Star MVP of his career.

Although the honor of All-Star MVP is not as good as that of regular season MVP, if All-Star MVP is added to Finals MVP, it can say something.

Although Wade does not have a regular season MVP, two All-Star MVPs are not bad, not to mention a Finals MVP in hand, against a non-champion star, he must be able to toughen up.

In the eyes of outside fans, the Heat is indeed Wade's team, Wade led the Heat to the first record in the East and won the All-Star MVP, which is indeed not trivial.

And in the Heat team, from the management to the water cooler administrator, they basically recognize Wade's strength and leadership temperament.

James' plan to use the second consecutive regular season MVP to have more say in the Heat team is a bit difficult to implement.

However, perhaps it was James who was making a silent revolt.

Originally, James and Wade's scoring data were about the same, both around 25 points, and the Heat were nominally a big three, but in fact they were a bit like the state of the Lakers dynasty OK combination.

But after All-Star Weekend, James' points per game average began to slowly decline.

At the same time, the Heat's overall loss of points has also increased.

The Heat have video lessons, and Spo is not Vogel, who will take the initiative to stop video lessons.

In addition, who is not effective defensively, just looking at the data can also reflect some problems.

However, that is, the Heat is a championship team, and it is also the top two teams in the East, so there is no conflict in the Heat team.

And in early March, the Bulls finally seized the opportunity, won one regular season game after another, overtook the Heat in terms of record, and became the No. 1 team in the East.

The Bulls also relied on their excellent record, the fierce whole team, even the staff who wiped the floor, and the hot girls of the cheerleading team, looked a lot better.

The rookies of the Bulls have also gradually completed their transformation, training harder when they are not playing, and when they are on the court, they are playing more focused and mature.

However, this makes Doon not know whether to brush the stats or ensure the record.

Doon still has a chance to continue to be a scoring champion, but it is more beneficial to keep the record in competition for the regular season MVP.

Fortunately, Doon's competitors are also caught in such a dilemma.

In order to ensure that the Thunder made the playoffs, Durant did not choose to score like crazy in the first three quarters, but saved his physical strength and stayed in the fourth quarter to contribute at a critical moment.

Anthony teamed up with Xiao Si and made the playoffs in the East is not a big problem, but it is also necessary to consider Xiao Si's feelings, and he can't play crazy singles alone with the ball.

By the time the time came to the beginning of April, Doon almost locked up the scoring title in advance with an average of 27.8 points per game.

However, in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, Doon still picked a few lotto teams and brushed a few high scores of thirty or forty points, increasing the average score to more than 28 points per game.

By the time the regular season officially ended, Doon lived up to expectations and won the honor of scoring champion again.

In terms of record, the Bulls have a 58-24 record and retain the first place in the East.

The Heat are 57-25 and second in the East.

In the West, the Spurs didn't make much of a difference in the summer, but they unexpectedly finished with a 61-21 record.

On the contrary, the defending champion Lakers did not stay strong, only 57 wins.

Of course, the Lakers are the defending champions and are targeted by teams across the league, and with the same record, the gold content must be higher. (End of chapter)
