Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 713 The Arrival of All Stars

In fact, as early as James Harden's performance, the Thunder fans' complaints about the Thunder management have not stopped:
"How about it, do you still think James is not worth the 6 million?"

"Damn guy, you should know that no matter which James it is, you shouldn't underestimate it!"

"This is the scene I've been looking forward to seeing, and I've been saying James Harden shouldn't be given up!"

It's just that the Thunder team's management is also very smart. After James Harden played the first-line performance, they also obediently kept their mouths shut about the deal.

Do they regret it?
They must regret it.

But there is no regret in this world to eat, so just don't talk about it!
……

The time has come to the month, and the Knicks won another wave of 10 consecutive victories during this period. After Yi Jianlian came to this team, it is not known whether it is the seventh or eighth time. The Knicks won two The streak of digits is up.

This also made Barkley joked: "Three years ago, the New York Knicks' 10-game losing streak was as easy as drinking water, and three years later, the New York Knicks' 10-game winning streak was as easy as drinking water!"

This made fans of many teams feel aggrieved. One was a Bucks fan, because Yi Jianlian won his first championship with the Bucks before going to the New York Knicks. After Yi Jianlian left, the entire lineup has been dismantled, but if the lineup at that time is really needed, then the Bucks will definitely be able to maintain the momentum of the championship in the past few years. Shili has never won consecutive championships!
Last summer, after Yi Jianlian led the New York Knicks to complete consecutive championships, he almost killed these guys. They should have been the protagonists of the carnival!

But for the Bucks fans, they are not without new hope. Herb sold the Bucks, and now he accepts a big consortium.

The factors that made Yi Jianlian leave at the beginning have disappeared. From the perspective of the Bucks fans, it is not hopeless that they will welcome Yi Jianlian back. Of course, the specific operation depends on the management of the Bucks, but in their view Come, at least more hopeful than the past few years.

Moreover, in the most recent game between the Bucks and the New York Knicks, when Yi Jianlian mentioned the Bucks again, he was not as silent as before, but said a few words rarely, although he only said briefly A few words, but in the eyes of the Bucks fans, this is a signal, a signal that they may be able to welcome Yi Jianlian back.

There is also a group of uncomfortable fans who are fans of the Lakers. The Lakers formed F4 this summer. They were originally high-spirited and aimed at the championship, but as a result, the championship now seems hopeless. Not only is the championship hopeless, There are even some difficulties for them to hit the playoffs.

It's hard to imagine that a team with Howard, Nash, Kobe, and Gasol can't even make the playoffs!

Really answered that sentence?
"Together is a lump of flying, and scattered is a sky full of stars"?
In short, watching the New York Knicks win one after another this year, the fans of the Lakers are very unwilling. It is also a big gamble. Why is the gap so big?
……

Yi Jianlian's popularity is recognized in this league, and now the whole of New York is canvassing for him, which makes him the top voter in the first, second, third and even final stages without any suspense.

Yi Jianlian's final number of votes was 478 million. Although he did not break the previous record, this number of votes was also among the top three all-time All-Star vote kings, second only to the two historical records broken by Yi Jianlian himself.

It is also the All-Star voting record this time that made Yi Jianlian win the top three voters with the most votes in the NBA All-Star Weekend. Although this is inseparable from the increasingly developed Internet in this era, it is also a symbol of Yi Jianlian's popularity. !
The All-Star starting lineups of the Eastern and Western Conferences were also announced. Harden was not selected in the Eastern Conference. The All-Star players still lack a little background.

After all, although Derrick Rose soared into the sky in 10 years, he had been settled for two years before, and it was through these two years of growth that he achieved his soaring sky.

Although James Harden has also played for the Thunder for three years, but for him, it is the first year to become the core, and in those three years, it is called "Thunder Three", but James Harden's limelight is not as good as those two guys, which also makes his own popularity not accumulate much.

Of course, the more important reason is that James Harden's overall style of play is not gorgeous, especially compared with the All-Star backcourt in the East, it is a bit worse.

However, from another perspective, James Harden's style of play is undoubtedly smarter, and he is also more durable.

In the west, Chris Paul and Kobe have secured their starting positions.

After leaving New Orleans, Chris Paul's popularity is really nothing to worry about.

Kevin Durant was also selected as the All-Star starter again, which also made the first player in the history of the Thunder team to enter the All-Star starter consecutively.

The center of the West was taken away by Howard, and this guy's popularity became even higher after he came to Los Angeles. Although the team's record is not good, there is no problem for him to be selected as the All-Star starter.

The All-Star starting center position in the East was taken by Kevin Garnett.

Of course, the reason why Garnett was given the starter is also very simple. Garnett's current state has declined sharply. It is certain that he will decline further this summer. The last All-Star trip of his career.

For this reason, he was placed at the center position, and with Howard's departure, he also successfully got this position.

It is also worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian also took the initiative to participate in this All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge!

Yi Jianlian, who has won the three-pointer and slam dunk champion, was asked by many fans to participate in the skills competition last year, but at that time he wanted to save this opportunity for the New York All-Star Game. After all, if he wins the championship , then there is no need for him to participate in the same event again.

Just in case, he put this opportunity this year.

If he can't win the championship this year, it's a big deal for him to participate again next year!
It is also because Yi Jianlian participated in this event that this challenge, which is not as popular as the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, has become very topical!
