The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 197 All-Star Voting Starts

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kyle sat on the bench, watching his teammates fighting on the field, silent.The Raptors trailed by 67 points 91:24.No matter how Sam adjusted during the period, it didn't have much effect. However, Phil Jackson, who returned to the Lakers this year, was still there and didn't respond at all.

Kyle played quite depressed. He only scored 10 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds. He shot an astonishing 16 of 4 from the field and 4 of 0 from the three-point line. Blocked, unable to pull out space and create opportunities for teammates.Kobe was biting him like a poisonous snake. Kyle kept changing ways and positions to break through, but the effect was not great.He paid the price for his singular offensive approach.

The Raptors lost their backbone at once. Without Kyle's feed, they seemed very unaccustomed to scoring goals, and their mentality gradually became impetuous, which led to even lower efficiency. Then there was a vicious circle, and the defensive end gradually lost. The score is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no confidence.

certainly!In addition to Kyle's responsibility, Bosh also can't get rid of the responsibility. He was defended by Brown uncomfortable, and he didn't stand up to break the deadlock for the team. 15 points and 6 rebounds, it doesn't look bad, but the shooting rate of 18 of 6 shots is really bleak.

In contrast to the Lakers, their lineup seems weak, but Kobe activated everyone.In the three quarters, 31 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds were really amazing. He made 20 of 11 shots and was very efficient. He even made 6 of 4 three-pointers.On the offensive end, Peterson and Joey were blown away, and on the defensive end, Kyle was slaughtered. This is strength and momentum.

As long as Kobe is on the court, the rest of the Lakers will be full of confidence, subtly injecting faith into their teammates, they can win, they will definitely win!There is indeed a saying that the mentality in the game affects the feel.For example, at the beginning of the third quarter, when the Raptors were only 15 points behind, Kyle scored 4 points in a row and sent 2 assists at the same time. Once pulled to single digits, the Lakers' offense began to break down. At this time, Kobe stood up, scored two three-pointers in a row, and scored 5 points in a row.

In the end, Kyle and Bosh failed to withstand the pressure. Maybe back-to-back was really tired, maybe Goddess of Luck was not favored, they made consecutive shots again, and the Lakers pulled the point difference to 20 points. In the end, Kyle had to sit down. Get back on the bench, watch your teammates perform, and get ready for the final battle.

It turned out that nothing happened to him!The substitutes were unable to close the point difference. Bosh went up first, which was embarrassing and contributed two strikes. On the contrary, Kobe's touch was still hot, and then there was no more, and Kyle didn't have to.The Raptors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 85:111 at home, and the fans at the scene returned disappointed.

Barkley fed Kyle poisonous milk before the game. Although the prediction was wrong, he was still happy.look!Kobe scored 40 points again, contributed a good scoring feast, and led the team to ravage the Raptors led by the hot Kyle Lowry. The grade is more than a little higher than Kyle, regardless of popularity or strength.

In addition to Kyle and Bosh, the Raptors scored in double figures, Peterson had 11 points, Calderon had 12 points, and everyone else was in single digits.Odom of the Lakers had 20 points, Parker had 10 points, Cook had 10 points as a substitute, and the others were also in single digits.

Although the Raptors lost miserably, it was just an ordinary game in the long regular season without much disturbance.If there is, it is that Kobe's success in defending Kyle has given inspiration to other teams in the league. It turns out that the way to end Kyle is so simple and rude, and they already have a plan in their hearts!
At this point, the difficult schedule of the Raptors has come to an end, and they will usher in a three-day small holiday.During the period, the Houston All-Star voting was officially launched. The Raptors had four finalists, namely center Jamal, forward Bosh and Peterson, and guard Kyle.

The All-Star Game was originally an annual star exhibition game, with a confrontation between eastern and western stars, and finally evolved into the All-Star Weekend.Includes Skills Competition, Slam Dunk Contest, Three Point Contest, Rookie Challenge and of course!The All-Star Game is the most gorgeous carnival feast.The competition features 24 professional basketball players elected by fans and coaches.The Eastern Conference and the Western Conference each have 12 players, of which 5 starters are decided by fans' votes, and 7 substitutes are selected by the head coaches of each team to form the Eastern and Western teams for confrontation.

This is definitely a benefit for the fans. When the time comes, the stars will gather together and feast their eyes.For the league, the annual All-Star game is a real cash machine, and the income from sponsorship, advertising, broadcasting, etc. makes other leagues jealous.For the players, this is an opportunity to show their faces. Basketball fans all over the world are watching this weekend. It is an honor, especially for the players selected for the main game.

Only truly capable players will wear the All-Star hat on their heads, that is, players participating in the main game. This is how the title of star comes from.They are the star players of the team, or players who perform well, and can have the title of All-Star, which is a level higher than ordinary players. You must know that only 24 people are selected each year, and the number of places is really limited.

At the same time, it is also an expression of popularity, because the starting lineup is selected by the fans, of course!It is also an affirmation of strength, the coach's eyes are definitely not blind.Every great player must be an All-Star regular.To participate in the All-Star Game, besides the hard target of data, the record is also very important, eh!Popularity does my part and ranks first.

certainly!Players of every level have their All-Star Weekend for players of every level, rookies have a rookie challenge, those with solid basic skills can participate in skill competitions, those with excellent three-point ability can shoot*shoot*, and those who can walk in the air reach Anyone can participate in the slam dunk contest, and the title of slam dunk king is also quite valuable. Jordan got the reputation of "flying man" by taking off and dunking from the free throw line.What about nothing?You can go to spend a little holiday after being sour!
The media also set their sights on the All-Star Conference and started fancy predictions.

"ESPN" first gave their predictions. The starting lineup in the Western Conference is defender Steve Nash. The Suns sit firmly in the second place in the Western Conference. He is the point guard. very popular.The shooting guard should be Kobe, which is basically not in dispute. With his handsome face, picturesque movements, and violent performance, it is indeed possible to draw conclusions.The small forward is McGrady. As the host, he is a two-time scoring champion. He is very popular. Although he is injured now and the team's record is poor, this does not prevent people from loving the elegant and talented player on this court.There are two power forward candidates, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. "ESPN" chose the former because the Spurs' record is a few blocks away from the Timberwolves. Fans still have to respect the boss of the Western Conference.The center is Yao Ming, which is almost 100%. The Chinese fans are so enthusiastic.

In terms of substitutes, what matters is the record, and the one who leaves a deep impression on the coach has an advantage. Judging from the current rankings of the Western Conference teams, Tony Parker of the Spurs should be shortlisted. As the boss of the Western Conference, Duncan alone seems too Shabby.Nowitzki also reserved a seat, the actual record of the Mavericks, the actual ranking in the West is only second to the Spurs.Paul Gasol and Elton Brandon should also be recognized. The Grizzlies and Clippers are in the playoffs. Garnett is very popular and strong. Anthony will definitely be selected, so there is still a place , Ray Allen and Sean Marion, each has its own advantages.As for the others, I can only apologize!
The starting forecast for the Western Conference, guard Allen Iverson, is almost undisputed, and his popularity is too great.Guard Dwyane Wade, who is also very popular, or Arenas, choose one of the two.Small forward LeBron James basically has no surprises, power forward Chris Bosh has a chance, and Jermaine O'Neal is also competitive.Center O'Neal, this is also for sure.

On the bench, Arenas and Wade remain one.Chauncey Billups is also sure to be shortlisted, Vince Carter and Kidd also have a chance, Ben Wallace belongs to the coach's favorite object, Bosh and O'Neal are also one of the remaining ones.

There is still one spot, Kyle, Jamison, Hamilton, Jefferson, Reid, Pierce and others compete, each with its own advantages.First of all, Kyle is ranked first. The data and team record have attracted much attention to him, but his unstable performance has also caused people to debate endlessly. Generally speaking, he has the greatest chance.Jamison's statistics are not bad, and the team's record is also very good, but compared to Kyle, it is not so dazzling, especially the statistics.Hamilton, as the scoring leader of the Eastern Conference Pistons, also has a great opportunity.Jefferson's statistics in the Nets are also very good, and it is not surprising that he was selected as an All-Star.Reid's scoring performance is indeed unforgettable, but the Bucks are not in the playoffs, so...Pierce's problem is more obvious. The team's record is seriously hindered, but his data is the best among the substitutes, and only Kyle can wrestle with him.

In any case, the record of the Raptors is here. One finalist is a must, and two finalists are also normal.The reason why Bosh has a better chance than Kyle is because of the need for position. There are too many outstanding guards in the East, and Kyle's advantage is gone.Iverson's popularity allowed him to occupy a pit. Arenas, Wade and Billups are basically must-haves, so Kyle was embarrassed.

The other two Raptors finalists, Peterson and Jamal, are mostly soy sauce ingredients, and they are simply made up by the league.
