NBA: I have 3, no D, and I can't dribble

Fans at home and abroad are talking a lot on major sports website forums, especially the hundreds of millions of Chinese fans. They are all looking forward to Lin Fei putting aside his team and health style in the second half of the regular season and pursuing more personal honors. , thereby creating a new NBA historical record.

"To be honest, although Fei Ge's points per game have dropped a lot this season, his personal efficiency is not bad at all, and his high-end statistics and win shares are even higher than last season!"

"Last season Fei Ge took over the whole team, mainly because the Knicks' overall strength was not strong enough and stable enough. In many cases, he had to step up and take more shots, otherwise it would be difficult to win!"

"But this season is completely different. The Knicks' starting five and bench lineup are very reasonable. Fei Ge also gave more performance opportunities to his teammates. This is the key reason why the Knicks have such a high record! "

"Lin Fei's average playing time this season is only 32 minutes, and he averages only 14.6 shots per game. In comparison, James's average playing time is 41 minutes, and he averages 22 shots per game, which is more than Fei Ge. With nearly 7 more shots, the average score per game is only less than 1 point higher than Fei Ge! "

"Compared with efficiency, everyone is a younger brother in front of Lin Fei. Even the top inside beasts in NBA history, Zhang Bolun or Sky Hook, are still far behind Lin Fei in terms of true shooting percentage!"

"The Knicks' current record is 43 wins and 3 losses, and they have the highest winning percentage in history during the same period. As long as the main players of the team stay healthy, they have a chance to surpass the historical record of 73 wins set by the Dallas Mavericks last year!"

"The Mavericks just broke the Chicago Bulls' 72-win record last year, and this year they have to let us Knicks surpass it again. Haha, it's really frustrating!"

"Breaking records in the regular season is a good thing, but don't be like the Mavericks who failed in the playoffs last year!"

"If Lin Fei really leads the Knicks to break the 73-win record this season and wins the championship in the playoffs, it will truly be the strongest single-season performance in NBA history!"

"Feige's performance last season can be said to be the strongest individual single-season performance in NBA history, and this season, it is the strongest single-season performance led by Feige!"

"It doesn't matter whether we can win the scoring and assist titles at the same time. The most important thing is that the Knicks can stay united and healthy and eventually successfully compete for the championship!"

For Lin Fei, who has been the team's shooting guard most of the time, but was able to rank in the top two in the season's personal assists list, this has made the faces of many top point guards currently in the league lose their luster.

As Steve Nash ranks first in the assists list, he is also the assist leader for many single seasons. Even though he is low-key, he naturally does not want to be surpassed by Lin Fei in the end. Therefore, in the subsequent games of the Phoenix Suns, Nash obviously Increased the proportion of personal organization and assists.

Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz, Jason Kidd of the Mavericks, and Rajon Rondo of the Hornets are naturally no exception.

This makes the assists king honor in the 07-08 season less competitive than the scoring title.

In addition to scoring, assists and steals, Lin Fei averaged 1.9 blocks per game. He also ranked 7th in the season blocks list and was the only defender less than two meters tall among the top ten in the block list.

While Lin Fei has been ranked first in the regular season MVP list for a long time, Lin Fei has also been ranked first in the defensive player of the season (DPOY) list for many weeks, together with Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Marcus Canby and others form direct competition.

The popularity and influence from many aspects naturally made Lin Fei feel no pressure in this year's All-Star voting. Once again, with more than 1000 million votes, he was elected to the 2008 New Orleans All-Star Game without any doubt. The vote king.

At the beginning of February, the NBA All-Star starting and bench lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences were all announced amidst the expectations of fans.

Because last year's offseason was the NBA's most turbulent offseason since the new century. Various earthquake-level transactions occurred frequently, and big-name players changed teams one after another.

Therefore, this year's All-Star lineup has also undergone huge changes compared to last year.

The Eastern Conference’s All-Star starting five are:
Point Guard (PG): Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards),

Shooting Guard (SG): Lin Fei (New York Knicks),

Small Forward (SF): Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics),

Power forward (PF): Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors),

Center (C): Dwight Howard.

With LeBron James joining the West, the overall starlight in the East can be said to be even dimmer. Paul Pierce only received more than 70 votes for the small forward position, but he still beat Caron Butler and others. Was elected as the starting small forward.

It is worth mentioning that Arenas, who is in hot form this season, has averaged 30+ points per game and led the Washington Wizards to surpass the Heat and become second in the Eastern Conference.

In terms of individual votes, Arenas also relied on his extremely high popularity of 197 million All-Star votes, beating Dwyane Wade's 195 million votes, and entered the starting backcourt of the Eastern Conference with Lin Fei by a slight advantage. .

Wade's votes were second only to Lin Fei and Arenas in the Eastern Conference, but he still could only be squeezed into the bench.

Although Wade is relatively healthy overall this season, due to his personal playing style, there are still some minor injuries that slightly affect his condition, making it difficult to perform at his peak.

In addition, "Shark" Shaquille O'Neal's trade rumors have been flying everywhere, which has also affected the Heat's team status to a certain extent.

Dwight Howard ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference vote list with 189 million All-Star votes. His personal status and popularity have improved rapidly this season, and he has seemingly replaced O'Neal as the league's new center front. .

The Orlando Magic's record has always been ranked among the top four in the Eastern Conference, and their overall strength should not be underestimated.

The seven All-Star players on the bench in the Eastern Conference are:
Dwyane Wade (Heat), Stephon Marbury (Knicks), Eddie Curry (Knicks), Zach Randolph (Knicks), Antawn Jamison (Wizards) , Joe Johnson (Hawks), Ron Artest (Knicks).

What makes Knicks fans excited is that all the Knicks' starting five were selected as All-Stars in this session. Among them, Lin Fei started and the other four came on the bench.

As New York is the largest city in the world, and the Knicks' record this season is so abnormal, the starting five are naturally exposed, not to mention everyone's personal data and offensive and defensive performance, they can indeed withstand scrutiny.

Needless to say, Lin Fei, Marbury averaged 20 points and 9.3 assists per game, Eddie Curry averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds, Zach Randolph 17 points and 9.7 rebounds, and Ron Artest 15 points and 8 rebounds. The statistics are a bit worse, but on the defensive end he has 2.3 steals and 2.0 blocks.

On the season DPOY list, Artest and Lin Fei have always been ranked in the top five.

What's more, it is precisely because of Artest's joining this season that the Knicks' overall strength has made a qualitative leap. Both offense and defense have reached the top of the league.
Therefore, in the minds of fans, Artest's value to the Knicks is naturally not only reflected in statistics.

David Lee and Ariza, who were originally substitutes for the Knicks, received more votes from New York fans than Antawn Jamison and Joe Johnson.

But the league can't let the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference become the dominant force of the Knicks. Therefore, allowing all the starting five to be selected as All-Stars is the greatest tolerance. The Knicks' starting five were selected to the All-Stars together, which is an unprecedented first time in NBA history. The Knicks are also aiming for a new record in team history and the NBA league with the best winning rate in history.

"Oh my god, all five of the Knicks' starting five were selected as All-Stars. Isn't this amazing?"

"The Knicks are really getting too much attention this season, and their overall state is very hot. I feel like they really have hope of breaking the Mavericks' 73 wins last season!"

"With a record of 43 wins and 3 losses, the highest winning percentage in the same period in history, and an average margin of victory over opponents of 25+ per game, this year's Knicks are really abnormal!"

"As the saying goes, it is precisely because of Lin Fei's huge popularity that teammates like the Knicks can receive greater attention. Of course, everyone has played very well and deserves recognition!"

"What I didn't expect the most is that Sun Yue got more votes than Ah Lian. It feels incredible!"

"Haha, Sun Yue got more votes than Ah Lian, not because he and Lin Fei were both in the Knicks. Otherwise, how could he be as popular as Ah Lian!"

"I feel sorry for the Arab League. I haven't been able to perform well in the Bucks in the new season. There have been ups and downs and I don't know if there will be a chance to break out in the future!"

Compared with the weak competition in the East, the Western Conference can be described as a battle of gods. The competition for an All-Star spot is even more intense than last season.

The final starting five in the Western Conference are:
Point Guard (PG): Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns),

Shooting Guard (SG): Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers),

Small Forward (SF): Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets),

Power forward (PF): Kevin Garnett (Minnesota Timberwolves),

Center (C): Dayao (Los Angeles Lakers).

What surprised fans was that Carmelo Anthony actually squeezed out LeBron James and became one of the starting forwards in the Western Conference, partnering with the "Wolf King".

Although James' personal performance in the SuperSonics this season is very strong and he has always dominated the scoring position, the team's record has hovered outside the Western Conference playoffs and is currently only ranked 11th.

The gap in record has significantly reduced James' popularity and attention. His average score of 31.2 points per game is also considered by more fans to be an obvious suspicion of scoring points.

After entering the league as a favorite in 03, James failed to be selected for the All-Stars in his rookie season. In the following three years, James entered the All-Stars as a starter in the Eastern Conference in 05, 06 and 07.

But now that he has come to the Western Conference, James has not even gotten a starting spot in the face of fierce competition. This cannot help but make more fans start to question his personal leadership ability and future ceiling.

After sending away Allen Iverson to acquire Chauncey Billups this season, the Denver Nuggets' team strength has indeed improved significantly.

Carmelo Anthony's averages of 28 points and 6.7 rebounds per game are equally impressive. Coupled with the Nuggets' current top-six record in the Western Conference, it makes sense for Anthony to squeeze James out of the Western Conference starting lineup.

However, what devastated the Jamies the most was still behind.

After several fierce battles, the seven All-Star substitutes for the Western Conference were also announced:
Amar'e Stoudemire (Suns),

Tim Duncan (Spurs),

Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks),

Ray Allen (Timberwolves),

Kevin Durant (Hornets),

Deron Williams (Jazz),

Chauncey Billups (Nuggets).

When the Western Conference's substitute list came out, the James fans became completely frantic. There was no little emperor in the starting lineup, and there were no substitutes?

"What's going on? I'm not selected as an All-Star in the Western Conference? Is there any mistake? He is now the top scorer!"

"What does the SuperSonics lineup CBA have to do with my little emperor? His personal data is already impressive enough, right? Forget it if he is not selected as a starter, what the hell is this?"

"Kevin Durant of the Hornets was actually selected as a Western Conference All-Star reserve? Is he still a rookie?"

"The league is definitely targeting my emperor. He played so well in the SuperSonics, but he just doesn't have a powerful helper. When the SuperSonics trade for the All-Stars, the team will definitely soar!"

"It's funny, there is no James in the All-Stars, so there is no need to watch this All-Stars anymore!"

Not only did James fail to be selected as the Western Conference All-Star substitute, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Tony Parker, Gerald Wallace, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Boozer and other outstanding players Players also dropped out of the rankings.
If any of these people were placed in the Eastern Conference, they would definitely be selected as All-Star substitutes in the Eastern Conference, but if they were in the Western Conference, they would be destined to experience such shameful competition.

It is worthy of recognition that Chauncey Billups was selected to the Western Conference All-Stars together with Anthony in his first season with the Nuggets. Although he was a substitute, he was able to defeat Parker and Anthony at the point guard in such fierce competition. It is already very difficult for Kidd and others.

Facts have proved that the arrival of Billups has indeed given the Nuggets a completely new look, and the team has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Western Conference playoffs.

Kevin Durant was selected as an All-Star substitute in the Western Conference during his rookie season, which also caused huge buzz.

The Hornets' current excellent record plays a key factor. Of course, Durant played significantly better in the middle of the season than at the beginning of the season, averaging close to 22 points per game, becoming the team's scoring leader.

Being selected as an All-Star in his rookie season is an honor that Lin Fei, Kobe Bryant, Iverson, James and Wade have never had.
In the past 30 years of NBA history, before Durant, only five people were selected to the All-Stars in their rookie seasons. They are:
Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Grant Hill, Tim Duncan and Dayao. (End of chapter)
