Chapter 871 [Standing in the Limelight and Being Treated Like a God]
The 2016 All-Star Weekend was held in Toronto, Canada. This was the first time the All-Star Game was held in a city outside the United States. Moreover, the 2015-16 season marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Raptors. They have obtained the right to host the All-Star Game, which is perfect for celebrating this historic moment.
As the coach who led the Raptors to the top, Yang Rui is extremely popular. Online fans began to welcome him a week in advance.
The starting five in the Western Conference: Curry, Westbrook, Kobe, Leonard, Durant.
It is worth mentioning that Harden was not selected as the starter. His popularity was surprisingly low, receiving only 430,000 votes in total.
Harden's average data per game is 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, but fans don't think he is very strong, because this year he has activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he is constantly missing people on the court. He has been selected into the top five TNT embarrassments many times, and he is the embarrassment of the season. A strong contender for the king.
Judging from Harden's strength and speed, he has the potential to become a defensive leader, but his defensive attitude has been criticized. This year, even his teammates and coaches can't stand his sloppiness on the defensive end.
McHale is about to be fired because of the team's poor defense, and the management is also preparing to trade Howard. He and Harden don't cooperate at all.
Harden's character has been questioned by many parties. Last summer, Khloe Kardashian dated Harden and also had contact with Odom. This love triangle became a joke among fans.
Then, the stimulated Odom overdosed on drugs in a nightclub and almost died from multiple organ failure. The entire NBA was worried about him. For three days, Odom was in an unconscious coma and was basically put under medical treatment. He received a death notice, but miraculously survived.
Now, Harden and Kardashian are still disconnected, and the outside world is speculating that he is going to die.
Seven substitutes in the Western Conference: Harden, Anthony Davis, Pau Gasol, Draymond Green, Irving, Chris Paul, Aldridge.
Draymond was selected to the All-Star for the first time in his career. His statistics were average, but he excelled in all aspects. He averaged 31.3 minutes per game, scored 10.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks. He shot 49% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range. .
Eastern Conference starters: Kyle Lowry, Klay Thompson, James, Anthony, Paul George.
After the selection of the center position was cancelled, there was no starting inside line in the East and West. Fans hope that the game will be more enjoyable.
Substitutes: Wade, Wall, DeRozan, Millsap, Jimmy Butler, Andre Drummond, Rudy Gay (Celtics)
Gay joined the Celtics for 80 million in five years in the summer, which was worth every penny. He averaged 20.7 points, 6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 35.5 minutes per game, shooting 46.3% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range. He has become the core of the team.
This is the third time in Gay's career that he has been selected as an All-Star. He has money, championships and honors, and is doing much better than Yang Rui in his previous life.
Griffin missed the All-Star Game due to injury, and he has suffered from various injuries frequently this season. In the Christmas game, he tore his quadriceps tendon in a breakthrough and took a month off. Just a few days after his return, he injured his ankle again.
Now when it comes to Griffin, Clippers fans say that Yang Rui had the foresight to send him away. He has gone from one of the most powerful forwards in the league to one of the most overrated stars.
Yang Rui arrived in Toronto one day early and visited his parents with Nina Dobrev. They still live in Toronto and are accustomed to the environment here. They only occasionally go to Los Angeles to stay for a few days to see their children.
Nina gave birth to a son to Yang Rui, named Lucas. It is said that the name originated from Greece and means "light", and the child's Chinese name is Yang Guang.
Yang Rui liked the name very much, so he didn't name him Leon to add another person to the zombie-fighting team. Now when mentioning Lyon, everyone will think of Jenson Ackles' bow legs...
On the first match day, the Rookie Challenge pitted the United States Team against the World Team. The United States defeated the International Team 157-154.
Zach LaVine of the Clippers stole the show.
He won the MVP with 30 points and 7 rebounds, and performed many wonderful dunks.
The next day, the most attractive player was LaVine again. In the dunk contest, he won the final championship with three difficult free-throw line dunks.
LaVine became the sixth player in NBA history to win at least two slam dunk titles, and the fourth player in NBA history to win back-to-back dunk titles after Jordan, Jason Richardson and Nate Robinson. The dunk king.
Although Aaron Gordon lost, he still had a wonderful performance. He sat in the air, his butt flew over the mascot's head, his legs were together and contracted, he flipped the ball under his legs, and then succeeded in a reverse dunk. This action is first-class in terms of difficulty and viewing pleasure. It has never appeared in the history of dunks and is jaw-dropping.
LaVine, who can complete a hand-to-hand dunk one step before the free throw line, is already the limit of his elegant flow.
Gordon is the pinnacle of the strength department. He has enough jumping ability to participate in high jump competitions, and he is also very creative.
After Silva came on stage, the star game became a pure performance, never a real fight, and the scores were getting higher year by year. The Western team defeated the Eastern team 196-173. The two teams' total half-time points, total points scored in the game, and the two teams' respective total points all set new records in the history of the All-Star Game.
Westbrook scored 31 points, 5 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals, and won the MVP for the second consecutive year.
The trade deadline came soon after the All-Star Game. There were no big deals happening, and there were not many teams aiming to compete for the championship.
The Thunder sent DJ Augustin, Steve Novak and two second-round picks to get Randy Foye from the Denver Nuggets, with the goal of finding immediate combat power to challenge the Clippers in the playoffs.
The Cavaliers sent Varejao and a 2018 first-round pick to get Channing Frye, an inside man who can shoot three-pointers.
In order to exchange for immediate combat power that satisfies the emperor, the Cavaliers management tried their best. Anyway, they have given away many first-round picks, so one more doesn't hurt. Frye paired with TT Thompson is much better than Varejao paired with Thompson. Otherwise, if the inside line cannot be pulled out, it will be difficult for James to break through.
From a sentimental point of view, it was a bit sad that Varejao was sent away. He was with the Cavaliers as soon as he entered the league and never thought about leaving. But this is the NBA, a business.
The Clippers made no substitutions and continued to stay strong in the second half.
Curry's condition has declined slightly. He wants to average 5 three-pointers per game, so he has to shoot a lot of three-pointers every game. There are traces to follow, and it will be easier for opponents to defend.
It doesn't matter if Curry can't shoot accurately. The Clippers are super strong inside. Not only Gasol has always been outstanding, but Whiteside has also begun to steadily contribute double-doubles with amazing efficiency.
Whiteside averaged only 22.8 minutes per game, scoring 11.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks, and shot 62.8% from the field.
He scared himself. Once he scored 15+17 and said in an interview: "Oh my god, I'm so good?"
If he was so good last year, he would have signed a bigger contract. Since he always comes off the bench, it is difficult for the opponent's substitute center to guard him, and the offense cannot get past him, which makes him appear to be extremely powerful.
Online, fans praise Yang Rui for being good at employing people, because Bai Bian was only a second-round pick when he first entered the league. After two years as a fringe player in the NBA, he couldn't survive and could only go to China to play in the secondary leagues, even in the CBA. Look down on him. Now that Baibian has been reborn, many fans firmly believe that Yang Rui has once again turned stone into gold.
The Chinese Basketball Association has been paying attention to the Clippers games, and the leaders have finally made up their minds. They are planning to send a few young players to the United States for training next year. They can no longer stay on the fringes of CBA teams. They will not be able to enter the NBA. They can be cultivated into stars and then return to the CBA. It’s also good to play ball.
In China, many basketball fans have begun to regard Yang Rui as a god.
