Pick Westbrook

Chapter 149 Three All-Stars!
Jordan Carver was taken aback. She naturally knew that standing in front of her was the famous Kardashian family in Los Angeles. On the first day she came to Los Angeles, she directly found the agency founded by Kristen Marie Holden. But it was rejected by the other party.

"Li, I actually don't need it."

"All right."

Li Lai interrupted Jordan Carver and said sternly: "I won't let you be as willful as last time and leave independently. This time, you have to listen to me no matter what you say."

Li Lai paused, remembering that Jordan Carver, who worked so hard on the Skid Row block, was going to interview for an entertainment company. He said seriously: "I didn't want you to enter the entertainment industry, but since you insist, Then I will stand behind you and support you without hesitation."

In fact, Li Lai specially planned this food broadcast for Jordan Carver, because she has no resources and no backstage. possible.

So what dream does the little girl want to pursue in Los Angeles? There are so many beautiful dreams in the world.

Eating and broadcasting is also the most convenient and fastest way that Li Lai can want to improve Jordan Carver's reputation.

Jordan Carver was stunned aside. This was the second time she met such a domineering Li Lai. The last time was after Milwaukee saved her from a group of bastards. Jordan Carver remembered that Li Lai bullied her three years ago. I just feel warm in my heart.

She naturally heard clearly what Li Lai and the Kardashian family were talking about about eating and broadcasting. According to Li Lai's plan and statement, it might really cause a craze in the United States.

A few hours later, Li Lai and Christine-Marie-Horton reached a cooperation agreement and revealed some details of eating and broadcasting in advance.

For example, the introduction of sponsors, the endorsement of advertisements, the sale of food after eating and broadcasting, and a series of cooperation directions with food companies.

Christine-Marie Horton was shocked when she heard it, and she was even more grateful that she and Li Lai had reached such an agreement, because the other party had studied the system of eating and broadcasting too thoroughly, especially the news brought about by eating and broadcasting. A series of business cooperation sounds like a fantasy.

Christine-Marie-Horton can be sure that if Li Lai's plan is really followed, the economic benefits that this food and television industry will bring her will be massive.

Kendou said innocently from the side: "A few days ago, those eventful media just listed that my mother's current worth is 2000 million yuan, and the second sister's worth is up to 3500 million yuan, so our net worth will increase after this broadcast. how many?"

After renting an apartment in downtown Los Angeles for Jordan Carver, Li Lai got up and prepared to leave.

Jordan Carver hugged him from behind and said, "Are you leaving tonight?"

Li Lai nodded and said, "There will be a game against the Clippers tomorrow night. The players have already arrived at the hotel where they are staying. I must rush over to meet them immediately."

Jordan Carver frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy, and felt even more aggrieved when he saw the large sum of money Li Lai left on the table.

It was like this last time in Milwaukee, and it is also like this this time. This is not the crotch kid Li Lai she knew at all.

"You can't just leave like this after helping me, even if you stay here tonight, didn't you stay like this when you helped me before?"

Li Lai knew that Jordan Carver was talking about the stinky hooligan who played all night after he rescued her three years ago, but at this time he was different from the crotch kid back then.

He said seriously: "I help you because I want to help you, not because I want to stay here and sleep with you. You will definitely become a big star in the future, so I help you now, maybe it will be you in the future help me."

Looking at the back of Li Laiwei, Jordan Carver bit his lip and said stubbornly: "I want to sleep with you, not because you helped me, can't you see it?"

"So I will become a big star, Li, and I will let you marry me then."

The Bucks challenged the Clippers away.

Before the game started, Kenny Smith happily said with the detailed data in his hand: "Big mouth, have you read the recent All-Star voting?"

Barkley grinned and said, "It's still up for grabs? There is no doubt that Kobe is the champion in the Western Conference and James is the champion in the Eastern Conference. It depends on luck."

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "No, no, it's true in the past, but you forgot that last year's All-Star vote was snatched away by Warcraft Howard?"

"This year, like last year, there have also been some changes."

Barkley came to his senses, snatched the data from Kenny Smith's hand and took a curious look, and then said in shock: "Westbrook is the current All-Star voter?!"

Kenny Smith nodded arrogantly.

So far, Westbrook has become the temporary All-Star vote leader with 20 votes, James is second with 19 votes, and Kobe is third.

Although the gap between the votes of the three is not very large, judging from Westbrook's current fierce vote rise, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the latter two to surpass him in the votes.

In other words, Westbrook will be successfully selected to the All-Star starting lineup in the second season of his career and successfully elected as the vote leader.

This is an amazing honor.

细数整个NBA历史上，也只有19岁169天便成为了全明星首发的科比，其次便是20岁52天的詹姆斯和20岁173天魔术师约翰逊能做到这一步。

Now, Westbrook will be the fourth on this list, and he is very likely to become a superstar capable of influencing the entire league like the previous three predecessors.

"Not only Westbrook, but also Yi Jianlian and Iverson. If there is no accident, they are also very likely to become the starters and substitutes of the All-Stars. "

"In other words, the Bucks will have three players successfully selected for the All-Star Game."

A team of three All-Stars!
The last time this was done was in the 2006 Pistons, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, and Ben Wallace, four of whom were selected at the same time. All-Star!

"It's very similar to the Pistons that year. The Bucks are also a team of all soldiers, but the former is defensive and the latter is offensive."

Of course Barkley knows that the success of the three Bucks in the All-Star team is largely due to the help of Chinese fans, especially Iverson. team, so many fans voted for him.

It is enough to explain all this that Iverson can become the fourth place in the Eastern Conference vote even though he is now playing as a substitute.

"But no matter how you say it, Yao Ming is the favorite player of Chinese fans. Even Kobe is ashamed of himself in this regard, but Yao Ming did not become the All-Star vote leader, but Westbrook."

"This can only show that the sophomore's style of play in the Bucks is too powerful and good-looking, and there are too many fans who like him. This can be seen from the sneakers that he has been selling crazy in the United States during this period."

Kenny Smith then pointed out the primaries of other All-Star games from the data table.

Curry was invited by the league to enter the three-point contest, in addition to Paul Pierce, Danilo Gallinari, Channing Frye, Chauncey Billups, and Daequan Cook this game.

This list is almost all famous three-point shooters in the league. Daquan Cook was the champion of last year's three-point contest. Only Curry is a rookie player who is a little immature this season.

But immature is immature, and no one in this three-point contest dares to underestimate him. After all, this season Curry shot 44% of his three-pointers under the Bucks' offensive system, and he made [-]% of his three-pointers. Far ahead of everyone in the league in terms of numbers.

"As long as Curry does not get injured this season, it is almost certain that he will break Ray Allen's record for the number of three-pointers made in a single season. Everyone is very optimistic about this three-pointer who suddenly appeared. Biggest favorite in the big game."

Kenny Smith suddenly laughed and said: "We have been paying attention to the players, but don't forget about the head coach of the All-Star Game."

"Historically, the head coach of the Eastern and Western All-Star Games has been the head coach of the team with the best record in the East and West! The Bucks have the best record in the league this season."

In other words, Li Lai will have a great chance of being selected as the head coach of the All-Star Game. For this rookie head coach who has only coached the NBA for two years, this is a great honor.

Of course, there is still a week before the start of the All-Star Weekend, and there may be some changes in this week, but the Bucks are currently far ahead of the Cavaliers with 3 wins and the Lakers with 4 wins. It is really difficult for the head coaches of the two teams to complete the transcendence.

Barkley said: "Although Li Lai is just a rookie coach, his coaching ability on the court is not weaker than those first-class coaches in the league. Perhaps there is still a gap between him and top coaches like Popovich and Phil Jackson. , but definitely not too much.”

"The Bucks played an offense that made the entire league tremble under his coach."

on the field.

Li Lai didn't care about the All-Star coaching. At most, what he cared about was whether Westbrook and Curry could win awards in the All-Star Game. He clearly remembered their task of becoming gods.

Staples Arena.

Game start.

Bucks regular lineup.

Clippers starting lineup: point guard Baron Davis, shooting guard Eric Gordon, small forward Raschel Butler, power forward Drew Gooden and center Chris Kaman.

Tyronn Lue couldn't help but said: "With Baron Davis, Gordon, and Kaman, the Clippers also have the bottom record in the league, which is completely unreasonable."

Li Lai is well aware of the strength of Baron Davis, the first generation of beards. He is a defender who is definitely underestimated.

In the Black Eight Warriors, Baron Davis alone disrupted the defense of the Mavericks team until now. His statistics are also good this season, averaging 16 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game. The shooting percentage is a bit appalling at 26%.

Compared with his teammate Eric Gordon, Baron Davis's shooting percentage is indeed not enough.

“戈登的场均数据是17分3篮板3助攻，卡曼是19分10篮板2助攻。”

"It is reasonable to say that with these three people, even if the Clippers are a little bit hanging in the playoffs in the Western Conference, it will not be the bottom of the Western Conference. It can only be said that since Griffin was reimbursed for the season the day before the start of the regular season, the Clippers have changed. With the goal of the team, this season is completely headed towards failure."

on the field.

As soon as Westbrook came up, he successfully broke through Baron Davis one-on-one solo, and then went straight to the basket and scored with a tomahawk.

After seeing the goal, Li Lai shook his head.

Although he has asked Iverson to guide Westbrook's breakthrough, the opponent still has not reached the dexterity of the pixie on the court. It can only be said that Westbrook is really not suitable for Iverson's breakthrough skills.

So now Westbrook's breakthrough on the court is still based on extreme speed and extremely strong physical confrontation during the breakthrough process to knock away opponents and score.

But Westbrook is a guard after all. He can hit the guards in the same position, but is it possible to hit the inside players?Even if it can be later?
This is why some talented forward players can still break through the basket and dunk the center opponent when they are old, but it is very difficult for guard players who play completely by their bodies to attack when they are old.

Li Lai is very worried that if Westbrook fails to master the breakthrough skills like Iverson, his deterrence on the court will be greatly weakened in the second half of his career or after he suffers a major injury.

"We can only ask Sauway to guide Westbrook in the future. After all, his breakthrough skills are the most suitable."

Clippers offense.

Before the game, Marshall had already reminded Westbrook that when defending Baron Davis, he could take a step back, because the opponent's three-pointers had never been accurate.

Westbrook is finally here to let opponents feel the defense he encountered early last season. This defensive strategy of stepping back is really insulting to a guard.

This kind of defensive strategy makes Baron Davis very uncomfortable. At the age of 31, he has lost the breakthrough explosive power of his youth, and this kind of defense will make it even more difficult for him to move forward.

In the past few years, Baron Davis has been trying to transform into a point guard, so his assist data has soared during this period, and may even exceed the average of 9 assists per game.

Kaman rushed forward to play a pick-and-roll for Baron Davis, which also relieved the opponent's urgent need and found a breakthrough space.

Yi Jianlian chose to substitute for defense. His flexible footwork can quickly keep up with Baron Davis, and his height can greatly limit the opponent's shooting rate.

Kenny Smith, who has been following Yi Jianlian, nodded with satisfaction at this time and said: "Since last season, we can clearly see the progress and changes of Yi Jianlian on the defensive end."

"I heard that in order to increase his defensive ability, Yi Jianlian deliberately gained weight during the off-season. Judging from his defensive performance this season, he has indeed improved a lot."

Barkley agreed and said: "In the past, Yi Jianlian's defense was definitely not up to the average level of the league. This is why the former coach K criticized him."

"Originally, when Li Lai decided to let Yi Jianlian play the center position, all the commentators and commentators were not optimistic, because of Yi Jianlian's defensive problems."

"But looking at it now, Yi Jianlian's defense has been on par with the league's average defensive level, especially in terms of big defense and small defense. He is even better than most centers in the league."

The improvement of Yi Jianlian's ability is also a point that Barkley feels extremely scary about the Bucks team, because Artest's shadow is obviously in Yi Jianlian's defensive actions.

In other words, although Artest is a player of the Bucks, he is also like a defensive coach who greatly improves the defensive ability of his teammates. It is no wonder that everyone in the Bucks regards him as a team Well-deserved leader.

As for the Bucks' outside offense, Barkley even dared to pat his chest to guarantee that without Reggie Miller, the Bucks' outside shooting level would not have reached such a level.

The more Barkley thought about it, the more he couldn't help but sighed and said: "This is a team that has been on the right path. I really want to see their performance in the playoffs."

Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Half of the regular season is over, and the playoffs are not far away. Let's not worry too much."

The first quarter is over.

The Bucks beat the Clippers in a single quarter.

40: 26.

Fighting against the current Bucks, if they can't limit their offensive performance or keep up with their offensive firepower, then getting hit in the first quarter is simply too common.

Clippers coach.

Their head coach, Mike Dunleavy, looked very ugly.

"Even if the Clippers' task this season is to play badly, but losing so many points in the first quarter, does it seem that I am too incompetent as the head coach?"

　Overtime, one more.

　　Only make it up on Monday.
