Legend of Tomorrow

Before the All-Star Game in February, the Lakers had only lost two games. The second game was an upset 101-105 loss to the Clippers in the same city.

The Clippers are currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference, and their strength has improved significantly compared to last season, all thanks to the Bulls' assist.

Olavokandi and Brand teamed up inside and performed surprisingly well. Forward Piakowsky hit 5 three-pointers while strong swingman Corey Maggette also scored 16 points.

The Clippers' bench is led by Lamar Odom. This versatile warrior has a shooting range beyond the three-point line. He is good at organizing passes and can drive teammates to attack. Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles are not fuel-efficient lamps. These three can be called bench gangsters.

Guo Xu didn't know that he had triggered a big butterfly effect. The reason was that the results of each team last season changed and the league's schedule for this season was different.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Odom had been unlucky this season. First, he was suspended for 8 games by the league for smoking marijuana, and then suffered a serious injury that ended the season. He only played 29 games, averaging 13.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

Now, due to schedule changes, Odom was able to play away games on the days when he was supposed to be caught smoking marijuana at home, thus escaping a bullet. Moreover, he has not been reimbursed for serious injuries, averaging 14.4 points, 6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and he is playing well.

Coincidentally, Trail Blazers veteran Chris Dudley, who was supposed to seriously injure Odom, injured Antoine Walker in the game against the Celtics, and Walker was reimbursed for the season.

Guo Xu's memory is not that good, and it is impossible to know the details of all the players' careers. If he remembered, he would find that metaphysics is real. Dudley was possessed by Ranbir during those few days, and running into him would definitely have no good consequences.

The funny thing is that Walker suffered a hip injury and was diagnosed with a torn hip labrum, which was serious enough to require arthroscopic surgery on his left hip.

The Celtics management went crazy. Why did you get such a big butt for nothing? So careless? !

Unlike Barkley, Walker's butt is used for dancing, not for hitting people. Unless the opponent is soft inside and easy to bully, he will not run to the low post to attack with his back. Even if he plays in the low post, he will just turn around. Jump shot, similar to China's Liu Yudong.

It's also possible that Walker's injury was because his butt was too big and the pressure on his joints was great when he ran.

Walker's injury triggered a series of chain reactions, and the Celtics' record quickly fell out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

some people,

When he is on the court, people feel very powerful, but when he is absent, people will know whether this piece of shit is useless. The team's record will not get worse, but will actually get better. This kind of player is called a cancer.

There is also a kind of person who makes others feel that they are nothing special or even terrible when they are present. But once he took a truce, people realized that they couldn't do it without him, and the tactics couldn't be worked out. Walker is this kind of player.

Don't underestimate the fat man who pulls out to shoot three-pointers. Opponents dare not let Walker go, but his shot selection is a bit poor and his shooting rate is not high. Without Walker, the Celtics' only pick-and-roll tactic can no longer be used, and only one-on-ones are left.

Then the coach discovered that Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, and Jamal Crawford had overlapping positions.

At this time, Crawford was not a suppressor. He was eager for the ball and took the initiative to challenge Guo Xu during the Star Weekend last year. In his two-year NCAA career, Joe Johnson averaged 15 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Mainly attack with the ball.

The worst thing is that the Celtics don't have a point guard. When Kenny Anderson was here, they still had someone to connect the team's offense. The current starter Tony Delk is a point guard at 185cm tall and averages 2 assists per game...

ESPN compared the Celtics with the Lakers as negative teaching materials, comprehensively analyzed each position of the two teams, and demonstrated the importance of chemical reactions between players in NBA games. If there is no coordination between the players, no matter how much potential they have, they will not be realized.

In the end, experts concluded that the Big Three of the Lakers have made each other successful, while many teams in the league that seem to have good lineups have players holding each other back, so they cannot achieve results.

At the same time, experts also highly praised Zen Master Phil Jackson, believing that he is an absolute master in building a team around core players and handling relationships between players, No. 1 in the NBA.

After the All-Star voting ended, the Big Three of the Lakers took over the top three most popular players in the Western Conference, with all three receiving more than one million votes.

O'Neal ranked first with 1.37 million votes, Guo Xu was second with 1.3 million votes, and Kobe was third with 1.21 million votes. The other two starters were Garnett and Duncan, both of whom failed to break one million.

Most of the Western Conference substitutes are newcomers. Nash, Szczerbiak, Stojakovic, Brand, and Nowitzki are all selected for the first time. Payton and Webb are All-Star regulars.

It is worth mentioning that Guo Xu caused the butterfly effect again. In the star voting, Rockets point guard Francis originally had less than 500,000 votes to be elected as the Western Conference Star starter. Now he fell to third place without even a substitute. Can mix in.

The Rockets' record is very poor. Most coaches think Francis is a cancer and is not qualified to be selected for the All-Stars. No matter how good his statistics are, it is useless because he destroys the team's offense.

Only Vince Carter had more than one million votes in the Eastern Conference, and he became the top vote-getter with 1.47 million votes. Everyone wanted to see Carter perform a dunk. Carter's popularity has been unrivaled in recent years, but unfortunately he had to miss the All-Star Game due to injury.

This season can be said to be a turning point in Carter's life. He was eager to prove himself and played with injuries. As a result, the injuries were added to the injuries. He had to undergo a kneecap surgery known as the genius killer and was reimbursed for this season.

Jordan received 985,000 votes and was the most popular among Eastern Conference defenders. However, his comeback was obviously a mess. Being a starter was entirely based on face, and his votes were far inferior to those of the Lakers' perimeter combination.

Iverson was even worse. He was elected as the starter in the Eastern Conference with 770,000 votes. Compared with last season, his popularity dropped significantly.

Not long ago, the media also revealed that Iverson's bodyguard beat someone up in a nightclub. As a result, Iverson was sued and paid US$260,000. Many people know that the bodyguards around Iverson are actually a group of gangsters he met when he was young. With such friends, it is not known who protects whom.

The Eastern Conference is so miserable that they can hardly find 12 stars. They are injured and useless. Under these conditions, the Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal and the 76ers' 36-year-old veteran Mutombo became the starters.

The 76ers are only ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, with two players starting, which shows the extent of the star shortage.

The Nets' Jason Kidd has strength, but he relied on substitute Carter to become the starter. He only received 440,000 votes. After being traded to the Eastern Conference, his popularity almost disappeared.

Except for Tracy McGrady, the seven substitutes in the Eastern Conference are a group of players with average records and not much fame.

The Hornets' Baron Davis only received 120,000 votes, Ray Allen 360,000, Pierce 250,000, and Hawks insider Raheem, who had a poor record, were all selected as All-Star substitutes and did not participate in the star voting. Mourning, who returned from kidney disease, also The substitute was selected.

The most embarrassing thing is that Bucks point guard Sam Cassell, who played 20+4+6, was still not selected. Maybe the coach thought he was too ugly.

This All-Star Game has not yet been played, and everyone knows that the Western Conference will win.
