Chapter 143 2007 All-Star

The current general manager of the Grizzlies is the logo man Jerry West, so he accepted the deal of Davis and Gasol, and it seems that he is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han.

Spurs coach Popovich publicly stated: "This is an unprecedented robbery. The Lakers got a top center at almost no cost. I don't understand why the Grizzlies are doing this. They are destroying themselves. .”

Of course, Popovich was also fined by the league for his remarks.

The Lakers fans are happy, the annoying beard finally got out, and they brought a trustworthy helper to Kobe, their dislike of the beard instantly turned into love, and some even sent a farewell to David Slogan.

The league went through the deal quickly, and if nothing else, Pau Gasol was Kobe's man when the All-Star break began.

On February 2th, the 17 All-Star Weekend officially arrived. The city where the All-Star Game will be held this year is the famous Las Vegas.

LeBron James was elected as this year's All-Star vote leader with 251 million votes, followed by Yao Ming with 250 million votes, only a little less than James.

Hehe, you would be naive if you really believed it.

Although this year the league did not engage in any obvious manipulation of votes like last year, the fact that Yao Ming did not get as many votes as James did was due to the fact that the league played tricks—they restricted the number of votes from China.

No matter how well Yao Ming played in the paint and how dominant he was, he was only a Chinese player after all, and the Americans were naturally more willing to support their LeBron.

O'Neal overwhelmed Dwight Howard with 160 million votes and became the starting center for the Eastern All-Stars. However, his current strength has really dropped a lot, and he can only be regarded as a quasi-All-Star player.

Carter lost to Arenas by a narrow margin of 3000 votes, and lost his position as the starting guard of the Eastern All-Stars. Since 02, Carter's popularity has declined rapidly. The omnipotent half-human half-god back then is just average now. All-Star player.

After McGrady joined the Pistons, his popularity also dropped a lot. This year he got 150 million votes and became another starting forward in the Eastern Conference All-Star.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Zhizhi was selected as an All-Star for the first time this year. His votes are not very high, but in the Cavaliers, his role is very obvious. With his fairly good defense and stable three-point shooting ability, he is now James. One of the best helpers around him, the data of 15.2+6.7 per game does not fully reflect his role on the court.He can also play center in the paint, and his nimble feet and range to the three-point line make him equally difficult to defend.

Even James has expressed his praise for Wang Zhizhi many times in interviews with the media, saying that he has brought a more flexible and changeable style of play to the team-in fact, James still focuses on breakthroughs. A player with a system, as his strength grows, the lower limit of the team will actually become higher and higher, but the players who are really suitable to partner with him are those players who can open up space and have excellent shooting ability.

So the most suitable tactic for James is actually one star and four shots.

In addition to Yao Ming in the West, Garnett's popularity has recovered, suppressing Duncan, and ranking first in the West forward.

Late popularity is less than Kobe, as the starting point guard in the West.

The most affected is Iverson. He joined the Nuggets from the 76ers, but failed to cooperate well with Anthony. The Nuggets' record is still not improving, and they can only hover on the edge of the playoffs.

Although he has tried to make changes, he will pass the ball more and reduce his shots when Anthony is on the court, but there are still a lot of media and fans criticizing his inefficiency-the most often drawn comparison is late, But this really wronged Iverson.

Simply comparing scoring efficiency, even the inside players with the highest shooting percentage can't compare with Late. After all, someone late has opened the lock, and his three-point shooting rate has remained above 50% for a long time. Is that comparable to ordinary people?

Maybe it's because Las Vegas is so attractive. This year's rookie competition was lackluster. It seems that these rookies got lost in this city of desire and gambled their sights.

In the Skills Challenge on the second day, Wade successfully defended his title easily. He only used 25.3 seconds, setting a new record.

Late did not participate in the three-point contest, but the league invited him, but Late felt that he was too bullying and there would be no suspense in the game, so he chose to refuse.

Heat player Kapono was the first to play in the final and scored 24 points, which put great pressure on Nowitzki. The old driver played abnormally in the final and only scored 9 points!
In the end, Kapono won the championship of this three-point contest by virtue of his super-level performance.

But everyone doesn't think he can be compared with late. The crazy three-point performance of late last year is still talked about by fans.

The slam dunk contest, which is the highlight, also seems quite boring this year.

Although the judging panel is star-studded, a lineup of judges like Jordan, Carter, and Kobe, if it was at its peak, it would probably be an impressive slam dunk fight.

In the end, the Celtics rookie Gerald Green, who was dubbed "McGrady II" by the Chinese media, won this year's slam dunk champion. It is worth mentioning that Gerald Green has only nine fingers, and the second knuckle of his right ring finger The above part was amputated - because when I was a child, I used my mother's ring to touch the upper edge of the door by relying on my jumping ability, but was stuck by a nail and tore the tendon of my finger. His father immediately decided to give it to him. Amputate fingers.

Robinson, last year's defending champion, also reached the finals this year, but his first dunk experienced some twists and turns. He tried twice to hit the board and then failed to catch the basket. He grabbed the basket with his left hand and dunked with his right hand. Although he was successful, he only scored a low score of 39 points.

Robinson's second dunk repeated the scene in last year's dunk contest. He tried to hit the ball on the board, then turned around and dunked 360 degrees after catching the ball, but within the stipulated 2 minutes, his 8 attempts were unsuccessful.The on-site host made an exception and gave Robinson a chance to try again. In the end, the defending champion succeeded in the 10th attempt, but only scored 41 points, with a total score of 80 points.

This year the league doesn't plan to praise Robinson anymore, so his true strength is just like that.

He won the slam dunk championship in the first year, it was all because of the gimmick of height, and the league was touting him behind it.

On the other hand, Green's second dunk went quite smoothly. He placed a large box under the basket, and then dunked the ball into the basket with a big windmill dunk after a leap. In terms of sex, they are all top-notch. The judges finally stopped being stingy this time, and Qi Qi scored a perfect score of 10. This is the only time that this slam dunk contest has a perfect score of 50—but in fact, in terms of creativity, Green This action is really nothing new, it's just that this year's level is too low, and it's just a big one out of a dwarf.

The other two players in the dunk contest were Dwight Howard and Tyrus Thomas, both of whom were eliminated early in the first round for lack of creativity in dunking.

On February 2, the All-Star Game finally officially arrived.

Because it was held in Las Vegas, today's All-Stars can be said to be star-studded. Latin singer Christina sang passionately, sexy singer Blaketon also staged a wonderful performance, and a group of beautiful dancers led by Aguilera.

But this year's All-Star game appearance is not as brilliant and funny as last year's Houston. O'Neal seems to have exhausted his funny talent and couldn't come up with any good funny methods.

As the first All-Star arena in history that is not home to the NBA, the facilities in the Thomas & Mark Center arena are so shabby, the lights are extremely dim, but there is no historical accumulation of the Madison Square Arena; the sound of the ball hitting the basket is incomparable Harsh, as if bringing people back to the familiar school playground.

This is a very bad All-Star experience, David Stern's first cooperation with Las Vegas, Las Vegas, obviously failed.

But for players, they have no choice.

Before playing, Kobe and the bully Stoudemire also expressed their desire to win this AMVP.

According to the default rules, we usually try our best to cooperate with the stars of the home team to win the AMVP, but this year's Las Vegas All-Stars, everyone is a guest. More supporters too.

Although Kobe ignored the lateness when he played against the Warriors not long ago, he seemed to have forgotten this, and clearly asked late for his assistance.

It's really hard to refuse to be late-he and Kobe won the AMVP together last year, and the cooperation between the two was actually quite pleasant.

Fortunately, Nash was very understanding and didn't make it difficult for him to be late, but made a gentleman's appointment with Kobe-everyone according to their ability!
Stoudemire is in a hurry now. He was injured for a whole year last year. Although he recovered very well this year, he averaged 25.8+8.6 per game in the first half of the season. Both won two championships and one finals FMVP.

In that session, Stoudemire was the best rookie, and if he didn't win the honor, he would almost lose sight of Yao Ming's car ass.

After a hilarious and uninteresting opening show, the game quickly began.

Late as the starting point guard, late this year originally did not want to participate in the All-Stars, and planned to pretend to be injured in the game on the 15th.

But Tian Ying was very curious about Las Vegas, and under her soft and hard thinking, the late arrival finally came.

He had little interest in AMVP honors, late and not planning to attack himself after Yao's jump-ball win in the opening game.

But the defensive intensity in the All-Star Game is really not at the same level as the usual game.

Seeing that there was no one within three meters of me when I arrived late, I couldn't help but feel a little itchy at that time, so I came to a halftime warm-up.

"Shh!"

Amidst the exclamations of uninformed Las Vegas fans, the late arrival gave the Western Conference All-Stars a head start.
