Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

In terms of statistics, Dayao crushed Howard even more.

In the 15 games between the two, Dayao averaged 23.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.

And Howard averaged only a poor 12.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game.

You know, so far, Howard has averaged 18.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game in his career!

In other words, Howard's stats against Dayao are far lower than his career average stats!

Dayao's performance can really use the old saying:

Eat, sleep, and fight World of Warcraft!

With Dayao's full output, the Nuggets' inside line was directly sieved.

In this game, Dayao scored 32 points, got 16 rebounds, and also sent 10 assists.

Got a large triple-double of 30+15+10!

The domestic media directly put such a slogan on the headlines:

"'Yang Li' Happy New Year, 'Dayao' dominates the world!"

This homophonic stalk is terrible, but it also fully reflects the status of Yang Li and Dayao in the hearts of domestic fans.

Throughout January, the Clippers played a total of 16 games.

Including 5 days and 4 matches at the beginning of the month and three back-to-backs, it can be called a devil's schedule.

But under such a difficult schedule, the Clippers still won a wave of 16 consecutive victories.

Relying on this wave of winning streak, the Clippers also officially announced to the world:

The invincible Los Angeles Clippers are back!

This month also happens to be a critical period for All-Star voting.

On January 1, as the Clippers defeated the Washington Wizards back-to-back again, the third round of All-Star voting also ended.

For a while, the Los Angeles Clippers, who had won 19 consecutive victories, were in the limelight.

The team has 5 players selected for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game!

Two of them were selected as starters:

The starting center of the Western Conference All-Star is Dayao, who averaged 25.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 blocks per game.

Curry averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

Of course, just looking at the data, it seems that Curry should not be selected as the All-Star starter.

But I can't stand Curry's popularity!

With a baby face and a weak body in the eyes of laymen, he was able to win the MVP in the NBA where there are so many people, and won two NBA championships.

This strong sense of contrast made Curry attract countless fans.

More importantly, Curry's good tutor has made his image of a good baby deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The NBA at this time is not yet a hook league. It is only natural to push a guy who is capable, humble, and at the same time represents the image of the middle class as the face of the league.

As a result of the voting, Curry naturally won the All-Star box office and was successfully selected for the 2013 NBA All-Star starting lineup.

In addition to Dayao and Curry, one of the other three players who entered the NBA All-Star starting lineup does not need too much introduction, and that is Kobe Bryant.

As the current face player of the NBA, Kobe's votes are only less than 2 votes less than Curry.

The Clippers lineup, Harden, Pickle and Ginobili, were also successfully selected for the 2013 NBA All-Star West bench.
