Chapter 316 Selected for the All-Star Game for the first time
Xie Kai, who had received much attention, failed to be selected as the starter in the Western Conference of this year's Los Angeles All-Star Game. He lost to New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul by a gap of 5000 votes, and missed the starting partner Kobe Bryant. .

In this way, the starting list of the East and West for this All-Star Game is: East - Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Amare Stoudemire, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose; West -- Yao Ming, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul.

According to the regulations of the NBA, once a player selected to the All-Star lineup is unable to participate due to injury or other reasons, he will be "handpicked" by NBA President Stern as a replacement.At present, the most likely candidate to replace Yao Ming is Lakers center Andrew Bynum, who currently ranks second in the Western Conference center vote list.

Among the top 10 starting players selected this time, Rose, who was selected for the first time, became the first Bulls player to be selected to the All-Star starting lineup after "Flying" Jordan; Stoudemire was the first Knicks player to be selected to the All-Star Game starting lineup in the past 20 years Durant was selected to the starting lineup of the All-Star Game for the first time in his career.

Xie Kai regretted not being selected for the Western Conference starting list, and many of his fans complained about him.Some fans even went to the official website of the Hornets to leave messages to slander Paul and said some bad things about Paul.

In this regard, Xie Kai also specifically appealed to the fans in the commentary interview: "CP (Chris Paul) is well-deserved to be the starter, and his strength is beyond doubt. It means that I have no hope of being selected for this All-Star Game. Please continue to support me, but I also hope that everyone can respect CP, he is a great player!"

A week later, the head coaches of each of the 15 teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences will vote to select seven substitutes for their respective league's All-Star teams.At present, the coach of the western star team has been determined to be Gregg Popovich, the Spurs coach with the best record in the league, while the coach of the eastern star team may not be selected until February 7th. The Heat coach is most likely to be elected.

The current Xie Kai is still very hopeful to be selected for the bench lineup of this All-Star Game. Among the guards in the West, his competitors are mainly Deron Williams of the Jazz, Westbrook, the old friend of the Thunder, and the Spurs. The Demon Sword Ginobili.

In addition to the fact that Xie Kai is at a disadvantage in the team record, in terms of personal performance, statistics or popularity, he is not at a disadvantage compared with these three.Not to mention that because Yao Ming is unable to play, he will be the only Chinese face who may appear in this All-Star Game.

Xie Kai himself has a very good mentality. He is very confident that even if he cannot rely on the votes of the fans, he can still be selected to play in this All-Star Game as a substitute player.Of course, he hopes to be selected in his heart. After all, this is a dream of his own, and he has never been selected for the All-Star Game before.

But his mother, Chen Guixiang, was not in a good mood. This time the All-Star Game was held at the Staples in Los Angeles. She bought a lot of tickets early on and sent a group of relatives and friends to go to the scene to cheer for her son, but now her son was defeated. If the starting lineup is not included, it is very likely that he will not have the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game, which would be too embarrassing.

The 2011 NBA All-Star Game will be held on February 2 at the Staples Center, the home stadium of the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers.This is the 21th All-Star Game in NBA history.

On January 1, the Grizzlies lost to the Brooklyn Nets in an away game and missed their 27-game winning streak.

On January 1, the last opponent of the Grizzlies' four-game streak in the East was the Philadelphia 29ers in the Atlantic Division.Xie Kai performed well in this game. He scored 4 points, 76 rebounds and 39 assists, helping the team beat the opponent in an away game and ended the Eastern Conference road trip.

On the second day, the Grizzlies returned home and easily defeated the visiting Washington Wizards, ushering in a two-game winning streak.Another special significance of this game is that the home team's record has come to 2 wins and 24 losses, reaching 24% for the first time.

In this way, all the games of the Grizzlies in January are over, and they finally increased their winning percentage to 1%, which also gave them more confidence in competing for playoff tickets.

On February 2, the Grizzlies played at home against the Eastern powerhouse Orlando Magic.With Xie Kai and Conley contributing 1 points, the home team narrowly beat their opponents and ushered in a 55-game winning streak.

After winning this game, the Grizzlies' winning percentage exceeded 50%!This makes their fans more confident. Everyone firmly believes that this Grizzlies team can make the playoffs, and it is this season!

On February 2, the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves in an away game and ushered in a long-lost 3-game winning streak.

On February 2th, the NBA officially announced the East and West All-Star bench lineup, and the full lineup of the All-Star team was fully revealed. The All-Star bench lineup in the East is: Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett Teddy, Al Horford, Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce.

West's All-Star bench lineup: Xie Kai, Russell Westbrook, Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Deron Williams, Pau Gasol I and Kevin Love (selected by President David Stern to replace Yao Ming, who was injured and unable to play).

This is the first time in Xie Kai's NBA career that he was selected for the All-Star Game.Although it is a substitute lineup, it can actually better reflect his strength.Because the NBA All-Star starting lineup is voted by fans, and the bench lineup is voted by coaches.The former relies on popularity, while the latter relies on strength.

As a result, Xie Kai became the only player of the Memphis Grizzlies to be selected for this All-Star Game.

After the news was announced, the Grizzlies official website and Twitter account immediately announced the result, and mischievously @ the Sacramento Kings Twitter.

The Kings did not have any players selected for the All-Star Game. The No. 5 pick Cousins ​​and last year's No. 4 pick Evans were selected for the Rookie Challenge.

The news of Xie Kai's selection spread like wildfire, and soon the whole world knew about it.In the Internet world, the speed of information dissemination is really staggering.

The happiest person is not Xie Kai, but his mother Chen Guixiang.After the news was announced, she put on a red cheongsam, looking very festive. February 2th is the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, and her approach has the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Kai's fans finally have no regrets. They helped him to hit the rankings and solicit votes before, but in the end they fell so short. Everyone felt it was a pity.Now that the idol has been selected based on his strength, everyone is relieved.
