Chapter 175 174. Want to Be an All-Star Starter?
Chapter 175 174. Want to be an All-Star starter?
The young man's body is great, coupled with the addition of the enemy in the same class, Jason Terry and the Clippers played back-to-back at home the next day and continued to wreak havoc on the opponent's perimeter.
The Clippers are ranked ninth in the West, and the top five winning percentages in the Wild West. After playing for a week in January, all five teams have a winning percentage of over 70%. The extent of this, but what this brings is that except for the top eight, or even the top five teams in the Western Conference, the record is really not good.
In the Wild West, the wild ones are the few championship teams, and the ones behind will be mixed up. It is far from being as terrifying as James will rule the Eastern Conference Finals for seven consecutive years in the future.
The eighth Jazz has a winning percentage of just over 50%, and the ninth Clippers have 15 wins and 17 losses, less than 50%.
Although it seems that the Clippers are more talented than the Eagles, they have no choice but to fail to achieve a record.
Elton Brand, Lamar Odom, Corey Maggette, three young core lineups with All-Star potential and even superstar potential are not calling at all, and even all three of them can play power forward Yes, although Maggette is only 1.98 meters, he plays as a forward, and his positions overlap so much that they cannot overlap any more.
By the way, there is also Quentin Richardson, this is not the slam dunk king Richardson, he is far from the dunk king, he is the three-point maniac who later ran and bombed the Suns, the one who dared to score 3% in 2004 A guy who shoots 8 three-pointers per game at fifteen.
I also want to mention talent, and Olowokandi, the No. 1 pick in 1998, was injured and did not play in this game, otherwise the inside line still has a certain height deterrent. Very powerful, but only the three-hit combo, with an average of 11+9 per game. If it was a rookie year, he would not be able to go anywhere, but he was born in 1975. He is already 26 years old and almost 27 years old. This is already the peak.
In addition, the Clippers also have Darius Myers, who is also a big and small forward swingman. If the Kings after 2008 are a guard collection team, the current Clippers are a large and small forward swingman collection team. The draft picks are too confusing, and a bunch of draft picks piled up for four or five years and couldn't make it into the playoffs.
Coach Kruger watched the field helplessly go from power forward to center, and then the center came up to play the backup center to play the shooting guard, and then played Quentin Richardson to play the point guard Odom is full of envy for Clippers coach Bill Fitch.
Then today Jason Terry went berserk, Liu Mang and Raheem tried their best to play for him, the Jets countered and shot a three-pointer, the Jets opened the singles from the outside, and everyone helped the pick-and-roll to shoot with the ball , or a jet...
A team that doesn't even have a clear style of play, and can get 14 wins thanks to a pile of talented weak teams, is playing against a top-two team with a mature defensive system and an increasingly stable style of play, even if this division The top two are in the East, and they are only theoretical, and they are not something a 14-win team can compete with.
The strength of the Clippers is the interior, but the Eagles are a strong interior defense team. They just restrained the Clippers. The Clippers' own tallest center was injured again. Three or four power forwards scrambled for positions. Uncomfortable playing.
In the end, Jason Terry took 29 crazy shots, hit 14 goals, and scored 33 points. In three quarters, he led the team to play a defensive counterattack and beat the Clippers. 97 to 75, 18 points difference, the Eagles In the second game of the back-to-back without bloodshed, they easily defeated the Clippers and won two consecutive victories.
With 22 wins and 10 losses, the Eagles' record continues to improve steadily!
...
...
As the season continued, the situation in the league became more and more clear.
The "big three" in the East are full of strength. The Nets rank first with 23 wins and 8 losses, the Pistons rank second with 22 wins and 9 losses, the Eagles rank fourth with 22 wins and 10 losses, and the Celtics rank third. Don’t panic, the 76ers and the Raptors are still far away from the first place in the division, and the Magic are sadly ranked fifth. I didn’t expect the Eagles to sit so firmly in the first place in the division this year, let alone last season The Pistons, who have only 32 wins, actually ran to second place.
The situation in the Eastern Conference is quite stable, except for the possible changes in the first, second, fourth, and third positions, and the Pacers behind began to hate everything.
The competition for the top five in the West is very fierce. The Kings and the Lakers are competing for the first place in the division, that is, they are competing for the first place in the West. The Spurs and the Mavericks are competing for the third and fourth positions. Garnett is caught in this group. The champion team was trembling, and dropped to fifth by accident, which was really impossible.
678 is much more stable. The Trail Blazers, Supersonics, and Jazz each have a gap of two wins from sixth to eighth. It is very difficult to overtake.
The best player of December came out, just divided the best of the month in the East and West. Although the Spurs' record in December was not the best in the West, the gap between the top five in the West was not that big, and Duncan averaged 31 points, 15 rebounds and 4 times per game in December. The brutal data of assists and blocks of 3.1 won the best of the month in the Western Conference and firmly ranked first in the MVP rankings.
The best of the month in the East was won by Ben Wallace. Ben Wallace averaged 9 points, 14 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game in December. It can only be said that there are really no particularly dominant players in the East. The gap between the powerful teams in the East and West It's really not that big, and the nominees include Jason Kidd, the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November, Pierce of the Celtics, and Tracy McGrady of the Magic.
...
The Eagles were dissatisfied with not even being nominated for the best of the month. Anyway, they are almost at the second place in the Eastern Conference. The first place is not hopeless, and there is Raheem, who averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds per game. How can he not even be nominated No, but the Celtics are nominated?
However, the best of the week in the first week of the new year fell to Raheem, who averaged 28 points and 13 rebounds in 3 games last week. After winning the All-Rookie team, the first league-level honor, this sad baby, was almost scrapped in the years of the Vancouver Grizzlies.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies moved to Memphis. Many fans there don't even know Raheem. Otherwise, if they boo Raheem, Raheem will probably kill the Grizzlies next time they see them.
"Sherif, don't be so unambitious, you're going to be an All-Star this year!" Liu Mang said contemptuously, today is the day to go to Indiana, the first game of the three-game trip, the league announced the first week of January. Best, and last month's Best of the Month, Raheem, who only won the Best of the Week for one week, smiled like something.
And Liu Mang's words were not casual contempt, but the Hawks would have relied on Raheem to get fourth in the Eastern Conference this season, and Raheem was selected as an All-Star substitute by the coach for the only time in his career.
If the All-Star starting may be due to popularity, not all players selected are All-Star level or not all-Star level players, then the All-Star substitutes are selected by the coach based on their strength.
"It's not so easy. When I was in the Grizzlies, I had better statistics than this year. I had almost 5 assists, but I still didn't make it to the All-Star." Rahim gave Liu Mang a white look, "And I'm not like you With such good luck, in such a poor draft year, it is possible to win the best rookie."
Speaking of the fact that Liu Mang is the best rookie favorite, the other two cores of the Eagles' core group of young people are really envious and jealous. The draft years they are in are all draft years, and the competitors are more than one. Powerful, they were still immature at the time and could only sit in the corner and watch the big guys compete.
"Luck is also a part of strength! For those of you who can't get the best rookie, let me show you this year!" Liu Mang said with shameless complacency.
"Young master, I think your skin is itchy!" Jason Terry and Raheem, who had been jealous for a long time, looked at each other, and began to abuse the rookie again!
"Squeeze...you guys are child abuse! I'm underage..."
"Fuck off! You Chinese are 18 years old! Think we haven't studied world history!"
I saw Raheem get the best of the week today, and Liu Mang surpassed Pau Gasol and Jason Trina in the latest best rookie list by scoring 20+ points in the last few games Call an envy.
Liu Mang, who has averaged 16.2 points per game, is not far from Pau Gasol, who averaged 17.8 points per game. His record is crushing. The Grizzlies are almost at the bottom of the Western Conference, which means that the Warriors are at the bottom. Otherwise, the Grizzlies The team is the vice squad leader of the west.
Although the best rookie list has nothing to do with the final vote, if it occupies this list for a long time, it will definitely have a great impression on the voting media and experts, and the record is also an important factor in determining the award!
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, the flight attendant will come to warn you again in a while." Muhammad stopped.
After arguing for a while, the three of them returned to their seats honestly and sat down.
"I am also sure that Sharif can make the All-Star. He is the best player on our team. The data and our record are so good. He will definitely make it!" Jason Terry said when There is no jealousy, it is not a position at all, envy is envy, "Do you think I have a chance to be an All-Star?"
Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry's expectant eyes, and really didn't want to say that according to my buddy's experience in his previous life, you have never been associated with an All-Star in your life...
But Liu Mang thought about it in a blink of an eye, it seems that the memory of his previous life is not his own!
In the original time and space, Rahim didn't have the fighting spirit now, didn't he!
So why Jason Terry can't be an All-Star? And when it comes to next season, I will work hard to enter the domestic market, train hard in the summer and get more rewards in the next games of this season, and with better statistics next season, it is not impossible to be an All-Star...
After thinking about it, Liu Mang made a note: "Jason, I think our record definitely has an All-Star substitute spot, but Sharif has a higher chance."
Hearing this, Jason Terry let out a sigh of regret.
As for who has the best brains, Jason Terry is hard to say elsewhere, but for the Eagles, he believes that Liu Mang is the one with the best brains and a stomach full of bad water.
"But..." Liu Mang deliberately lengthened the ending.
"But?" Jason Terry looked at Liu Mang eagerly as if he saw hope.
"Want to know?" Liu Mang started teasing again, starting to tease Jason Terry.
"It's itchy again!" Jason Terry gave a look, and Raheem, who had already abused the rookie and felt refreshed, and Muhammad, who had just stopped talking, began to abuse the rookie together...
"Dead Top! Dead Top! I say!"
Liu Mang saw that the collar of the coat he bought with Dinah yesterday was deformed, and he wanted to cry without tears. It cost more than 500 US dollars! In my previous life, this was a luxury.
Still don't seek abuse by yourself.
Liu Mang said: "If Sharif is an All-Star substitute, then Jason you have no chance, but what if Sharif is an All-Star starter? Then Jason you have a chance to be on top!"
What is enlightenment, and what is clearing the clouds to see the fog!
No one thought of going in this direction before, but this seems to be the case!
The Eastern Conference can now be called an All-Star frontcourt player. There are really few. It is true that the six All-Star frontcourts may not be all together!
Carter is the only popular frontcourt star in the East!
Just look at the Eastern Conference All-Star starters last season. Last year, the Eastern Conference All-Star starting center was selected by Mourning, but Mourning was reimbursed early. It was Antonio Davis who was selected by the league when there was really no one. of.
The two All-Star forwards in the Eastern Conference are Carter and Grant Hill, and then Grant Hill is also reimbursed. Grant Hill continues to be reimbursed this year, and he was reimbursed before the season, so he was not included in the shortlist!
Now the top two forwards in the Eastern Conference vote, one is Carter, who is far ahead of the entire league, this is unshakable, the hottest star at the beginning of the century.
Who is the second? Madman Sprewell! Sprewell only got 17,000 votes on the first day, and came in second!
Except for Carter, none of the eastern forwards is really regarded as an All-Star by the fans, so one vote is for Carter, and one vote is for the power forward of his team. Ever since, in the big city of New York, Sprewell has the highest level. Lost the advantage, temporarily ranked second!
The third is Antoine Walker with 13,000 votes. The Celtics are in Boston. Boston is also one of the few big cities in the United States, and it also has the advantage of having more fans.
It doesn't seem that difficult for Raheem to enter the All-Star starter!
"Ace, you are so smart! If Sharif can start, the chances of me coming off the bench will be great!" Jason Terry seemed to have seen the picture of Raheem entering the All-Star starting lineup and being selected by the coach as a substitute.
At this time, Raheem, who is the protagonist of the topic, has no confidence: "That is also difficult, I only have more than 3,000 votes, about one-tenth of Ace's votes, I have not been very popular, you know. "
Well, Jason Terry's surprise was poured down by a pot of cold water, and it hurt my heart!
yes!
No matter how bleak the competition for the second All-Star forward in the Eastern Conference is, it seems that their own team is not a popular team, and Raheem is not a popular player, so it is still very difficult!
It was time for Liu Mang to show his true skills, and he smiled a little treacherously: "So, now is the time for us to help Rahim get votes!"
Seeing Liu Mang's smile, Rahim felt that something was wrong, as if there was something wrong with the smile, but he couldn't see what the problem was.
However, the All-Stars are starting! Who doesn't want it! Rahim didn't care too much, and quickly asked: "Why? Although Ace is very popular, you also have many enemies. If you canvass for me, those fans of the team you offended must vote for others. .”
Raheem is telling the truth, but Liu Mang thinks why he is so upset!
How dare you say that, Young Master, Liu Mang decided to maximize the power of Rahim's canvassing!
How did a player named Hayward become so popular in the future? Liu Mang is going to use it on Rahim!
Looking at Liu Mang's increasingly treacherous smile, Rahim felt like he was about to board a thief ship!
Huh! Why is it necessary? Can't refuse? It seems that I can't bear to refuse!
