Chapter 719 [The Magic 4 Loses and Doesn’t Want to Participate]

The NBA's suspension reduced 16 regular season games, and the All-Star Weekend was not canceled and will be held at the new Amway Center in Orlando.

Magic center Dwight Howard topped the vote with 1.6 million votes.

This is so weird, because the Magic's current record is only eighth in the Eastern Conference, and Howard almost lost his pants when he led the team to lose. Just because he often scored double-20 statistics against weak teams, is he the most popular star in the NBA?

Obviously, the league has given Howard votes. Everyone knows that he will part ways with the Magic after this season. A star vote champion can increase his transaction value, leave something for the Magic, and have greater influence.

Stern is worried that Howard will not be able to perform well after leaving the Magic, so he will start by bragging. No matter where the league's number one center goes, he can continue to attract fans.

This season hasn't even finished yet, and many media have already begun to predict Howard's whereabouts. During this All-Star Weekend, stars who are interested in joining forces with him will definitely take the opportunity to express goodwill and recruit.

The only person who doesn't take Howard seriously is Yang Rui. He doesn't think Howard is much better than the Clippers' current center Tyson Chandler. No matter how advanced the statistics are, he is still a blue-collar player and has no tactical effect.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Howard left the Magic to join the Lakers in 2012, which involved all four parties. It was the only "magic four-loss" transaction in NBA history and can be recorded in the annals of history.

In the previous season, the Lakers were third in the Western Conference and in the Western Conference semifinals. Got Howard, Duhon and Clark.

The Nuggets were sixth in the Western Conference and got Iguodala in the first round of the Western Conference.

The Magic were sixth in the Eastern Conference, in the first round of the Eastern Conference, and got a bunch of role players.

The 76ers were eighth in the Eastern Conference. Black eight defeated the Bulls and advanced to the second round, acquiring Bynum and Richardson.

At that time in the summer, it was generally believed that the Magic were the biggest losers, and the other three teams had gains, especially the Lakers were the biggest winners.

As a result, the situation changed suddenly a year later, and each of the players involved in the transaction fell like a curse.

Howard couldn't adapt to the Lakers' style of play. He entered the playoffs at the last moment and was swept out by the Spurs. Howard and Kobe had a falling out and joined the Rockets for free. The Lakers have since been reduced to nothing.

The Nuggets were third in the Western Conference during the regular season and looked pretty good. However, they were defeated by the Warriors in the first round, which directly led to the dismissal of George Karl and the departure of Iguodala. The Nuggets have since joined the weak team.

After the Magic lost Howard, they never made it to the playoffs until Yang Rui was reborn. They have always been a strong contender for the No. 1 pick. But what they couldn't compete with was the 76ers who acquired the "wash-blow-cut baby shark" in the trade. .

That bloody deal was like four people playing mahjong. There were losses and losses, but suddenly they were caught by the police and all their gambling funds were confiscated. They were also detained together for 15 days.

The other four starters in the Eastern Conference are Deron Williams (Nets), Wade, James (Cavaliers), and Carmelo Anthony (Knicks).

After Deron joined the Nets, things turned around and he played better than he did with the Bobcats. Moreover, his temperament was tempered by the Bobcats, and he was not as arrogant as Yang Rui in his previous life, daring to challenge the coach.

Seven substitutes: Yao Ming (Nets), Iguodala (76ers), Pierce (Celtics), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Bosh (Cavaliers), Derrick Rose (Bulls), Vince Carter (Raptors).

Yao Ming played only 4 minutes, and his data dropped, but his votes were only slightly lower than Howard's and he lost the starting lineup.

Carter returned to the All-Star Game and became the emotional bearer of this weekend. His statistics are not very good, averaging only 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 1% from the field, 6% from the three-point range, and 3% from the free throw line.

The reason why he was selected was his loyalty and the fact that he had brought two championships to the Raptors.

Before you know it, Carter is a veteran. He has no shortage of championships and personal honors, and has become a symbol of Toronto. His loyalty won him the love of his fans and the admiration of his coaches. He is also one of the players who shoots the most three-pointers in NBA history, and he is much better than Yang Rui in his previous life.

Because there is everything,

Carter's idea is very simple, he just wants to stay in Canada.

The coach of the Eastern Conference is Frank Vogel of the Pacers. According to the rules, coach Adelman cannot be re-elected last season.

The starting five in the Western Conference: Paul, Griffin (Clippers), Westbrook, Durant (Thunder), Marc Gasol (Mavericks).

Seven substitutes: Tony Parker (Spurs), Stephen Curry (Clippers), Pau Gasol (Lakers), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Al Jefferson (Timberwolves), Galina Leigh (Nuggets), Mike Conley (Warriors).

The lineup in the Western Conference is quite strange. There is no orthodox shooting guard. The swingman position is extremely weak. Apart from the point guard, he is also an inside player. Gallinari, a nominal small forward, is also 208cm tall.

If the data from last season were played, Gay would have a chance to be selected as an All-Star. Unfortunately, Yang Rui slowed down the Clippers' game rhythm and gave Parsons a lot of playing time. Gay's data dropped to 13 points per game.

The selection of the Western Conference almost caused an international joke. Kobe and Paul were the top two guards in the selection, and the third place was Timberwolves point guard Rubio.

Fortunately, the league rules are that when Kobe is absent due to injury, president David Stern appoints a substitute to be selected as an All-Star, instead of relying on voting to select the third most popular player.

Rubio just landed in the NBA this year, averaging 6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals per game. The data seems good, but in fact he has a bit of a problem on the offensive end.

His field goal percentage is only 7% and his three-point shooting percentage is 34%. This is the data obtained when the opponent shoots casually from two meters away. If Curry has Rubio's defensive treatment, he can average 40 points per game.

No one is pressing the defense, and Rubio can pass the ball calmly. Although he has many assists, it is not a problem to brush up. He has no ability to decide the game at all. At the critical moment of chasing points, he even sat on the sidelines as a spectator, watching the performance of Barea and Ridnour.

Because of this, Rubio was nicknamed "Lu Yizhong" by Chinese fans. Not only was his shooting inaccurate, but he was also likely to miss the mark when he layup in the air. This is no joke. In January, he made a fast break layup alone after a steal, without any interference. On the top side, he is simply Sakuragi from the outside, and was selected into the top five tnt embarrassments.

It’s hard to find a guard who shoots worse than Rubio. Only Rondo is even equal to him. Rondo has a sharp breakthrough and can score layups, so his overall shooting percentage is much higher than Rubio. The comparison is "Longguangzhong"...

Many fans hoped that the league would make an exception and allow Jeremy Lin to participate in the All-Star Game, but he broke out too late and was not eligible to participate at all. The league allowed him to participate in the rookie game to attract fans.

The joining of Jeremy Lin has even changed the situation of the rookie game. This year, O'Neal and Barkley will pick the game to form the Barkley team and the O'Neal team. The first-year students and the second-year students are separated, and each team has 10 people instead of Previous 9 people.

Clippers Blake Griffin, Faried, and Parsons were invited to participate in the rookie game.

In addition to participating in the All-Star game, Curry will also participate in the three-point contest on the second day. It was his first time being selected, so he was very excited. He started practicing three-point shooting a week in advance, and he also took more shots during the game, just like warming up for the three-point contest.

Griffin no longer participates in the dunk contest, not because he does not want to defend the title, but because he intends to hide his clumsiness. Last season, his dunk was not too difficult, and his victory over McGee caused quite a bit of controversy.

The Clippers have the best record in the league, and Yang Rui is the head coach of the Western Conference team.

Others regard the All-Star Game as an honor, but Yang Rui doesn't want to participate at all and plans to call Stern to ask for two days off... 1971
