NBA bench saves national team

West bench lineup: Chris Paul, Pau Gasol, Blake Griffin, Nowitzki, Deron Williams, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan.

Due to Yao Ming's injury, he was unable to participate in this All-Star Game.

So there is a vacancy.

And this spot will be selected between Kevin Love and the Thunder's Russell Westbrook.

In the end, NBA President David Stern gave the spot to Westbrook.

Therefore, Westbrook will replace Yao Ming to participate in this All-Star Game.

After the news was announced, it quickly caused an uproar across the United States.

Compared with last season, Westbrook's performance this season has declined in all statistics, and his shooting percentage is a career low.

On the other hand, Love has averaged 20.2 points, 15.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, which is a proper All-Star level data.

Westbrook has only averaged 18.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game this season.

If you have to say it, Westbrook's performance is more balanced, and the statistics of assists and steals are better than Love.

But the positions of the two are different, and there is no way to compare them in this way.

If it is compared to the efficiency value, then Westbrook has won, because the Thunder currently have a terrifying record of 40 wins and 0 losses.

As the third leader of the team, the usage rate is also very high, and the efficiency value is of course higher than that of Love, who has always led the team to lose.

The local media in Minnesota cried out for Love, claiming that this was Stern's show of favor to Qin Feng.

Because Westbrook is Qin Feng's teammate, Westbrook was selected into the NBA All-Star team.

Faced with such remarks, NBA officials did not make any response.

David Stern also ignored it directly, and didn't even bother to argue.

Because there is no need to justify.

The All-Star Game is an entertainment game, what is the most important?

Attention!

flow!

There is no doubt that Love has no attention at all in the remote Minnesota Timberwolves!

Not to mention Love, even the Timberwolves have no sense of presence in the NBA. How can the audience pay attention to the NBA through Love?

But Westbrook is just the opposite.

In the league's most watched team like the Thunder, and now the team has won 40 consecutive victories, he is Qin Feng's teammate, and his performance on the court is also very topical.

I believe that most fans want to see the Thunder's three minorities fit together in the All-Star Game.

Therefore, choosing Westbrook to enter the All-Star will undoubtedly greatly increase the focus and attention of the game.

As the president of the NBA, David Stern will naturally choose Westbrook.

Of course, Westbrook's replacement for Yao Ming will not appear in the starting lineup. This is decided by the head coach of the Western Conference.

Then, there is the Eastern All-Star bench lineup, namely: Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, Kevin Garnett, Al Horford, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo.

Two more days passed.

The nba officially announced the candidates for the head coaches of the East and West.

The head coach of the Western Conference is Brooks of the Thunder.

The head coach of the Eastern Conference is Doc Rivers of the Celtics.

no doubt.

Several powerful teams in the league became the winners of this All-Star Game.

Counting the Celtics coaches and the Big Four, a total of five players were selected for the All-Star Game.

For the Thunder team, the Thunder's three juniors and head coach Brooks, a total of four were selected for the All-Star Game.

All the Big Three of the Heat were selected as All-Stars.

The Lakers are the double-star combination of Kobe and Pau Gasol, two of whom were selected.

There is also the Spurs, who were also selected by two people.

Only one player from each of the remaining teams was selected as an All-Star, and some teams even had no players selected as an All-Star.

After Brooks was elected as the head coach of the Western Conference, he immediately announced that Tim Duncan would replace Yao Ming as the starting center for the Western Conference.

Finally, the nba officially announced the lineup of the rookie game and the list of players participating in the individual events.

Regrettably, Qin Feng did not choose to continue to participate in the rookie competition (because he retired for one year, it is actually the second season of his career), nor did he participate in the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest.

According to the reports of many reporters, it is said that the NBA officials specially sent someone to invite Qin Feng to participate in the individual competition.

However, he was ruthlessly rejected by Qin Feng.

Everyone knows that if Qin Feng participates in the individual event, he will definitely be able to reproduce the miraculous performance of his rookie season, making the individual event a classic of this year's All-Stars, and there will be many things to watch, and it will also attract more viewers.

But everyone also knows that Qin Feng no longer needs to prove something by participating in these events, and if Qin Feng participates, there will be no suspense in the individual events.

In the end, Qin Feng still didn't participate.

This has caused many media and basketball experts in the industry to call out that the individual events of this All-Star Game will be tied with last season's All-Star individual events, becoming the most boring and least interesting individual events in NBA history... .

......

While the NBA has successively announced All-Star related news, the regular season is also continuing.

The Thunder continued to pass all the way, bringing their winning streak to 43 games!

The All-Star break is less than two weeks away.

The Thunder still have six games to play in the All-Star break, if the winning streak continues.

Then the Thunder will extend their winning streak to a very scary number of games.

Now the whole world is discussing how many games the Thunder will extend their winning streak, and the heat is even more than the upcoming All-Star Weekend.

Now, the entire league recognizes that the Thunder is the most powerful team in NBA history, and there are no more voices of opposition.

Even Rodman, who was ignorant at the time, obediently shut his mouth now.

After all, even the Bulls with a super record of 72 wins and 10 losses did not achieve such a great winning streak

Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned.

The Thunder surpassed the Bulls' record of 72 wins and 10 losses at the end of the season, which is already a certainty.

Of course, this is when all the members of the Thunder team are healthy. If the main players are injured in the next half of the season, it will be difficult to say.

After all, injuries are more severe than tigers. For a team that is determined to compete for the championship, the injury of the main force may even lose the championship!

......

The Goose City Thunder training audience.

Qin Feng is leading the team to sweat profusely in training.

The mobile phone on the sidelines suddenly rang.

"Okay! Let's rest for half an hour."

Coach Brooks stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly, giving Qin Feng time to answer the phone.

Qin Feng picked up the phone.

"Mr. Qin Feng, hello, we are the staff of CCTV's "Moving China" program team."

The familiar Huaxia language came over the phone.

"Hello."

Qin Feng responded briefly, with some doubts.

I don't know what this program group is doing when they call themselves.
