Chapter 589 [Take Action with All Your Heart, the Best in 3 Years]
The annual celebrity weekend is here, and it’s more entertaining in the casino city of Las Vegas.
The starting five in the Western Conference: Iverson, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, and Yao Ming.
Substitutes Nash, Marion, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Anthony, Parker, Boozer.
A big deal happened in the mid-term. Due to conflicts with the management and coaching staff, as well as the team's poor record at the beginning of the season, Iverson took the initiative to request a transfer from the 76ers. In the end, the "answer" came to the Denver Nuggets, and the 76ers received Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two 2007 first-round picks.
Iverson, Richard Hamilton and Carmelo Anthony formed the "Golden Three Shots". All three have dreadlocks, like to wear headbands, long arm guards that are both cool and protective, and are good at shooting.
The nickname is very domineering, but the Nuggets have not become better, and the ball rights are difficult to distribute. Hamilton can play without the ball, the other two need the ball, and the data of the three stars have dropped.
When the playoffs come, everyone will find that their combination cannot be called golden. At most, it is a three-shot surprise.
There are many leftover stars in the Western Conference. Baron Davis is out due to injury, the Grizzlies are lagging behind, Gasol is also excluded, the Clippers are eighth in the Western Conference, and Kaman cannot be selected with a double-double.
Yang Rui could not stay out of the situation this time and became the head coach of the Western Team.
The starting five in the Eastern Conference: Wade, McGrady, James, Bosh, O'Neal.
Substitute Arenas, Mo Williams, Vince Carter, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Richard Jefferson, Dwight Howard.
The Bulls' luck has run out, with Brand missing due to injury, and the team only ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference.
The Magic have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and are also a dark horse. In Yang Rui's previous life, Jefferson, who had never been selected for the All-Star Game, became the beneficiary.
This time the Lakers players were relatively relaxed. Only the "drug combination", Kapono, and Ellis participated in the All-Star Weekend. The two rookies did not get many playing opportunities because the team's lineup was too strong, and their data was not enough to participate in the rookie game.
There were highlights in the rookie game. In the end, the sophomore won 155-114, setting the highest score in the rookie challenge.
David Lee made 14 of 14 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 30 points and 11 rebounds. He won the rookie game MVP with a 100% shooting rate. His performance was shocking.
David Lee joined the Jazz like a fish in water. He played as a substitute in two positions, averaging 12.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 29 minutes per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60%. If it weren't for his similar style to Boozer, David Lee's statistics would be even better. He is perfect for playing pick-and-roll.
On the second day of the challenge, Kapono won the three-point contest. He played limited minutes in the regular season, but his three-point shooting rate was too high to qualify for the game. He scored 24 points in the final and easily won the three-point title.
Gerald Green of the Celtics became the dunk king with his super jumping ability and stable performance.
In the star game, the Western Conference easily defeated the Eastern Conference 155-130. Kobe Bryant became the MVP with 34 points. The two sides jointly contributed many wonderful goals, which made the fans excited.
However, it was a failed celebrity weekend that ended in tragedy.
After the game, violence broke out in Las Vegas. Four people suffered gunshot wounds, three were in critical condition, and police arrested a total of 362 people. If this happens, it will be difficult for Las Vegas to own an NBA team in the future.
The regular season continues, and no more big trades happen.
Yang Rui maintained the rotation of the lineup. Only Kobe and Rasheed played more time and guaranteed data.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming reached his peak this season, averaging 25 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game, but the price was serious injuries, a fractured knee, and he only played 48 games in total.
Before the injury, Yao Ming averaged 26.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.3 blocks per game. Yang Rui would rather let Yao Ming's statistics deteriorate, but also ensure his health. He played in the World Championships last summer,
Yang Rui has no confidence in his physical strength.
Yao Ming, who only played 28 minutes and left the low post, averaged 17.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 50.6% from the field and 36.3% from the three-point range, without even a minor injury.
Yang Rui's arrangement also made Kobe feel very happy and he could take shots as much as he wanted.
However, Yao Ming's reduced ball rights have caused dissatisfaction among many Chinese fans. Kobe's statistics can compete for the scoring title, but the team's winning rate has dropped. Many fans also say that Kobe is too independent. The conflict between Kobe's ball rights and that of Rasheed Wallace and Diaw are the two who want to improve their statistics.
Diaw failed to perform as brilliantly as the Suns in the Lakers and did not get an early contract extension. His goal is to get at least a full mid-level job, so he must perform.
In the locker room, Kobe began to look down on Diaw, but after Diaw came on the court, he had to play as he should. Yang Rui could only try to stagger the playing time of the two.
In the end, the Lakers won 67 wins and 15 losses, winning the league's best record for three consecutive years. The advantage was not big, followed by the second-ranked Mavericks with 65 wins. After that came the Spurs, Jazz, Suns, Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Clippers.
The regular season ranking rules have been modified this season. The division champion must get the home field advantage in the first round, but the top four rankings are based on record. This is obviously more reasonable and prevents strong teams from encountering each other in the first round.
After the lineup was upgraded, the Hornets still failed to make the playoffs due to injuries and ended up ranked ninth.
Marksman Stojakovic only played 13 games before being reimbursed for the season, which was a setback for the Hornets. Peja has always played as a small forward since his debut. Although he has height, his weight and strength are not suitable for power forward and center. As a player who mainly shoots and rarely breaks through, he is really unlucky to be seriously injured.
In addition, in the second half of the season, China's "public enemy" Mason was elbowed on the bridge of the nose and was reimbursed for the season, leaving the Hornets' small forward position unavailable.
Paul also played only 64 games, and West had an even worse 52 games.
10-15 are the Kings, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, SuperSonics, and Warriors.
Hornacek only had 22 wins in his first season coaching the Warriors, but he allowed Murphy and Francis to produce good numbers. He listened to Yang Rui's suggestion and immediately put it aside, preparing to trade the two of them out in the summer based on data.
Hornacek convinced the management in advance that the coaching position was not in danger and that he would try to select a high-ranking rookie in 2007. The Warriors' goal is to grab Oden. Even if Oden is not selected, Durant is not bad.
The Eastern Cavaliers won first place with 53 wins. Since the Lakers cannot have a regular season MVP player for three consecutive years, LeBron James, who scored 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.6 steals, is likely to be elected as the regular season MVP.
His competitor is Nowitzki, ranked second in the Western Conference, with a better record than the Cavaliers, and his statistics are not bad either.
No matter who is elected, history will be different from Yang Rui's previous life. Because Nowitzki has already won the MVP once before, winning again will be the second time. His historical status will be higher than Yang Rui's previous life, if he can win a championship.
However, the Mavericks are still in danger in the first round. The Warriors did not make the playoffs and they have to face the Grizzlies where Baron Davis is. Davis led the team in Yang Rui's previous black eight miracle, and he was the Mavericks' sufferer.
The clamor for James to win the award is very high. He is only 22 years old this year. If he wins the award, he will set a record and become the youngest regular season MVP winner in the NBA.
Prior to this, the "youngest MVP" belonged to "Bone Crusher" Wes Unseld, the guy who later failed as a manager with the Wizards. In the 1968-69 season, Unseld was elected MVP at the age of 23 years and 9 days.
The unlucky person is Rudy Gay, who averaged only 7.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game this season. His numbers have never been so low in his previous life. His position overlaps with James, and he will be in tragedy.
