I'm really good at shooting.

"Oh yes, I met Mike."

After talking about the fans' stories, Nash said another thing.

Sun Hao didn't react at first.

After Nash said it, he realized that Mike was referring to D'Antoni.

His previous premonition came true, and Nash really got on the line with D'Antoni in advance.

The meeting of two people can be described in four words: it is too late to meet each other!

D'Antoni has a set of bombardment tactics in mind, and he is stuck in Portland and cannot use them. Nash feels that his strength has not been able to perform as he should.

Although it is impossible for Nash to decide whether D'Antoni will come to the Warriors, D'Antoni still shared his tactical system with Nash.

Moreover, because of the fan, Nash and Mullin communicated more in private.

After Nash shared that system with Mullin, the "left hand of God," a member of the "TMC" bombardment team in Warriors history, was ecstatic.

He went directly to head coach Eric Musselman and quickly tried to apply the tactics to actual combat.

Although D'Antoni was not coaching himself, the result of the experiment is that the Warriors' record has recovered and is on the right track.

It sounds kind of miraculous, but it happened to him.

"Chris told me Mike was coming to Oakland as an assistant coach soon."

Nash couldn't hide his excitement at the end.

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing after listening.

All this looks like a chain reaction.

Perhaps the moment that Nash fan appeared in Dallas, it was destined that Nash would meet D'Antoni on the same team later in his career.

The only difference is whether it's in Oakland or Phoenix.

This may be fate.

Chapter 273 Adidas.SH95

The weather in Dallas in January continued to turn cold, but the fans were enthusiastic.

Because at this time, the league announced the results of the first round of voting for the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, and the names of Mavericks players appeared frequently.

On the west side, Sun Hao's first-round ticket was Wang Sanlianzhuang.

For the first time in his career, Nowitzki surpassed Duncan and Garnett in the votes and ranked as the top forward in the Western Conference.

But in the east, the person who rules the roost is unexpected.

Jordan at 40!

Well, Jordan's votes are very close to Sun Hao's.

This is obviously not just because of personal strength.

Jordan's previous "last dance" remarks were intended to revive the morale of the Wizards, but it also made fans frantically vote for him in the All-Star Game.

Because, at Jordan's current age, the possibility of returning after retirement is zero.

In other words, this is Jordan's "last dance" season, and it is also Jordan's "last dance" in the All-Star Game!

Of course, this has a lot to do with Jordan's sentence last year, "The reason for my comeback is because of my bet with Sun Hao".

That sentence was the best solicitation at the time, and Sun Hao finally got 251 million votes, breaking Jordan's record of 250 million All-Star votes.

But in the same way, that sentence also won the favor of a large number of Chinese fans for Jordan.

As a result, after Jordan announced the "Last Dance" this year, Chinese fans also voted frantically for him.

When it comes to gratitude, Chinese fans are second to none.

Jordan, unknowingly helped himself.

After Jordan was Yao Ming, and then McGrady.

Maddie: Meow meow?

Jordan's vivid example is in front of us. After Stern has decided not to adjust the proportion of Chinese fans' votes, the influence of Chinese fans on the All-Star Game votes has become unparalleled.

With Tracy McGrady playing such a crazy season and still only ranked third in the Eastern Conference, these All-Star players seem to have only two options.

Option [-]: Continue to resist the current voting rules as before, although this has proved useless in the past two years;

Choice [-]: Find a way to please Chinese fans.

The January games continue, as does All-Star voting.

At this time, two small things happened in the alliance.

First, Trail Blazers assistant coach Mike D'Antoni ran to the Warriors.

This matter was not too surprising. D'Antoni was only a member of the coaching staff in the Trail Blazers, and became the first assistant coach in the Warriors.

This is considered a promotion and salary increase in disguise.

The problem is... this happened in the middle of the season!

Another message conveyed here is that the former powerful and notorious "Portland Prison" of the Trail Blazers has begun to fall apart from the players to the coaching staff.

The second thing is about the All-Star voting.

In fact, reporters and fans also realized that under the circumstances that the league has no intention of changing the voting rules, showing favor to Chinese fans has become a must.

"Do you think Yao is the best center in the East?"

But when the reporter threw this question to Carter, who is likely to be squeezed out of the All-Star starter due to his poor performance due to injury, "UFO" answered decisively.

"Do not."

Historically, in the same year, Carter was complained by fans and the media wirelessly because he refused to take the initiative to let Jordan start.

In fact, in this year in history, if he took the initiative to start and was accepted by Jordan, it would be a good story and the best inheritance.

But Carter refused decisively.

I have to say that Carter didn't do very well in the subject of [Emotional Intelligence].

The reporter also threw the same question to McGrady.

McGrady's accomplishments in this course are much better than Carter's.

"Yes, he is so tall but has so much flexibility. It's unbelievable. I partnered with him two years ago when I participated in the Adidas China tour. He is very, very good."

Look, this is called [emotional intelligence].

In fact, although McGrady in history has a gentle personality, his emotional intelligence has always been high.

This is also the year in history. McGrady was the first to stand up and say that he would give up the starting position to Jordan. You must know that his explosive performance this year made him one of the top four shooting guards and became a veritable "Jordan successor."

Another thing is that many NBA superstars have said that they want to play in the CBA after retirement, but in the end only McGrady actually went, which also won him a lot of popularity and financial benefits.

Then, when the results of the second round of NBA voting came out, McGrady's votes directly left Carter by a large margin.

When the results of the third round of voting came out, Carter could barely see McGrady's taillights.

Cousin, this time I finally crushed my cousin in all directions.

Then, the cousin panicked.

After the game against the Wizards, Carter... changed his tune!

"Yao is a very good big man, he seems to be able to do everything, scoring, rebounding, assists, defense, he is one of the best big men."

The reporter didn't even ask Yao Ming's question, and Carter raised it himself.

This... really smells good?

But this approach is really Carter.

In history, Carter refused to let him start, but when he waited for the main game, he forced Jordan to start again.

However, it was too late.

After the final results of the All-Star voting came out, Carter finally lost the starting lineup.

East: Iverson, McGrady, Jordan, O'Neal, Yao Ming.

Originally, with Carter's popularity, even if he didn't have as many votes as Jordan, he wouldn't lose to O'Neal.

But just like in history, even if he gave up the starting lineup, he was always complained by fans because he refused to take the initiative to give up. He said that Yao Ming, Chinese fans would rather give the ticket to O'Neal than him.

West: Sun Hao, Kobe, Nowitzki, Duncan, O'Neal.

This time Popovich was happy, because the person who was squeezed out was finally not Duncan.

But I really don't blame the Chinese fans for this. Although Duncan is low-key, the Spurs are now much stronger than the Timberwolves.

And Garnett's 58 name, unless it is inherited, otherwise it is too deep to jump out of it!

Garnett: ...

After the All-Star starting list is determined, the next thing that attracts attention is the substitute list and the individual competitions.

Sun Hao once again received an invitation to the league's individual event, but this time in addition to the three-point contest, he even received an invitation to the slam dunk contest!

This... are you sure it's not a mistake?

Or, did he underestimate his dunk ability?In fact, he has grown into a super dunker unconsciously? !

Well, he himself didn't believe it when he said it.

However, it is understandable why the league does this.

The slam dunk contests in the past few years have been too lacking in highlights. Last year was even called the worst slam dunk contest in history by fans.

Stern, certainly does not want such a thing to continue.

Therefore, in the case of being unable to persuade the super dunk general to participate, I can only try to make some gimmicks.

This is the part he is good at.

Sun Hao said he would think about it.

When the time came to the end of January, the league announced the list of all-star substitutes and individual events.

Sun Hao's name did not appear in the individual competition list.

This is also expected. If you can't win the championship, participating is obviously playing a supporting role for others. This kind of thing is not his style.

Sun Hao did not appear in the individual event, and the fans felt that they could skip this day's game again.

However, the All-Star bench list still attracts attention.

East: Kidd, Francis, Carter, Pierce, Jamal Mashburn, Antoine Walker, Ben Wallace;

Anyway, the league's head coaches gave Carter face and didn't let him miss the All-Star Game.

West: Payton, Marbury, Nash, Bodi Loga, Marion, Chris Webber, Garnett.

Nash was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career!

Although it is still too early to make a conclusion, at least judging from the results of this season, it may not be a good thing for Nash to leave the Mavericks.

还有值得一提的是马里昂，这时候的他场均已经能攻送出21.2分9.5板2.4助攻2.3抢断1.2盖帽的数据。

Before Nash went to Phoenix in history, he was already very strong.

……

The Mavericks encountered a wave of injuries before entering February, and the team's record has fluctuated.

However, this is very common during the season. Before the All-Star Game, their record was fixed at 39 wins and 9 losses, and their record was still at the top of the league.

As a result, Nelson Sr. became the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Game for two consecutive years.

Old Nelson's face was flushed, nothing else was important, the important thing was to continue to suppress Popovich.

And this time the Mavericks have three selected, as well as his former lover Nash.

If he chatted with Popovich for a few words, he would definitely be able to kill his opponent in seconds.

For example: "Congratulations, Duncan finally started this time."
