Legend of Tomorrow

The Western Stars have seven substitutes: Roy, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol, Aldridge, Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, and Westbrook.

The Gasol brothers have become a highlight. Both are inside stars who can play both inside and outside. They can both make mid-range shots and coordinate offenses.

Gasol was selected to the All-Star for the first time in his career. He worked very hard during the contract year and wanted to win a big contract.

Many teams are eyeing Gasol. Almost all the big men selected by the Suns will get big contracts after their four-year rookie period. The Suns wanted to renew Gasol's contract in advance but were rejected. As expected, he has produced better statistics this season.

Gasol averaged 29.2 minutes per game, scored 14.1 points, 7 rebounds and 3.6 assists, and shot 54.4% from the field. He always faces a relatively loose defense. When the opponent does not have a human shield for the blue-collar team, he is very determined to cut through and attack the basket.

Guo Xu was the main organizer, and his teammates got more opportunities to perform. Gasol was very grateful to his elder brother for his support and said good things about Guo Xu as soon as he arrived at the press conference. This is not deliberate flattery, but gratitude from the heart.

Gasol was not favored at all when he was drafted. He did not expect that he would be where he is today.

In fact, among the Suns players, the one whose destiny was most changed was Jeremy Lin. He won a championship with the Suns. He could occasionally play but had no ball rights. Without becoming Linsanity in New York, he wouldn't even be eligible to play in the Rookie Challenge.

Of course, even if Jeremy Lin goes to New York now, he still won't have the ball and is more likely to be waived. The Knicks on Earth 1 have not encountered any injuries and are the healthiest team except for the Suns.

Jeremy Lin is very happy to be able to get a basic salary in the Suns. He also has a nice bachelor apartment to live in. Little did he know that he could achieve higher achievements in the NBA by sleeping on the sofa for a while, although the breakout period was short-lived.

There aren't many All-Stars in the West this year, and many players are injured.

The Lakers' Zen Master Phil Jackson retired early this season, and the reason involved the internal struggle of the Buss family. Jim Buss and Jenny Buss were divided into two factions, and the siblings fought endlessly.

The Lakers did not have the two championships in 2009 and 2010, and the Zen Master has already stepped down from the altar. The Lakers hired Byron Scott as head coach, which is crazy. Scott is obviously a loser.

After the coaching change, the Lakers' luck took a turn for the worse and they became the most unlucky team.

Bogut only played 10 games before being retired.

While fighting for a rebound, he stepped on the foot of Timberwolves center Robin Lopez, causing a severe ankle sprain and requiring minimally invasive surgery on his left ankle.

Then Scott used small ball tactics and asked Bosh to play the starting center. Bosh was terrible in confrontation. After playing two games as a center, he sprained his knee in a scramble and was retired for the season.

The Lakers' record is 10th in the Western Conference. They can't make the playoffs, and their performance is not thorough enough.

Scott's tactic is to hand the ball over to the stars on the team, and whether the game is good or bad depends on the star's personal ability. The effect of inviting a random fan to be a coach is almost the same as asking him to be a coach. Anyway, he is just a spectator at a close distance from the sidelines.

The starting five in the Eastern Conference: Derrick Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire, Howard.

Stoudemire learned to play healthy basketball in the Suns and maintained good condition. He averaged 23.5 points per game and shot 50% from the field. He was the Knicks' first scoring point.

The Knicks now have one more win than the Cavaliers and are ranked first in the Eastern Conference. The team has outstanding stars both inside and outside.

Joakim Noah has become a key figure, his defense is getting better and better, and he can also coordinate the offense. He averaged 11.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 steal, and 1.5 blocks per game, and shot 50.6% from the field. He was also selected as an All-Star.

Last season's rookie Gordon Hayward has also started to make an impact and is an excellent backup.

The more embarrassing player for the Knicks is Tyreke Evans. He plays a shooting guard with poor three-point shooting ability and average off-ball offensive ability. Felton performs much better than him when controlling the ball in pick-and-roll situations. He has no speed advantage. If he plays as a point forward, his height of 196cm is too short.

After playing 6 games in the new season, Evans became the sixth man. What the Knicks want to do most now is to trade Evans out and replace him with an orthodox No. 2 who can defend and catch and shoot three-pointers.

The Cavaliers' record has declined mainly due to the decline of Mo Williams and Boozer, both of whom no longer have star power. Boozer has a huge contract and is really a defensive black hole, with a floor flow that moves slower and slower.

The Cavaliers want to trade Boozer, but they can't send him away. Big-name stars are unwilling to join the Cavaliers. If they want to trade, they can only exchange for inside players of the level of McGee and Nene. They wanted to trade Randolph to the Grizzlies, but they refused. They felt that the Black Bear was better than Boozer. In fact, the two were on the same level.

Seven substitutes in the Eastern Conference: Deron Williams, David Lee, Paul George, Iguodala, Joakim Noah, Rajon Rondo, Tyson Chandler.

Garnett was injured and missed the All-Star Game. Chandler received the fewest votes among players selected to the All-Star Game in NBA history, with only 61,123 votes, ranking fifth among Eastern Conference centers.

However, Chandler's defensive ability was recognized, and the Celtics chose to sign Chandler after giving up Perkins. Ainge thought Chandler was better, and the Thunder gave Perkins a contract, and the two teams poached each other. In terms of player ability, the Thunder must have lost.

After adding Chandler, the Green Army has risen again and is currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference, one place higher than the Heat who injured Danny Granger.

George, who started his career with the Bucks, was selected to the All-Star for the first time, which is a huge change. He averaged 37 minutes per game, scored 17.5 points, 7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 steals, shot 44% from the field, 36.4% from three-point range, and averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game.

He's almost a lock for the Most Improved Player award and has seriously changed history. He and Brandon Jennings achieved the sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference, allowing the Bucks to rise early. If the game continues like this, it will be impossible for the Bucks to select Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo in 2013.

At the same time, Roy Hibbert can get a lot of ball rights in the Pacers, and he will not fall out with George over grabbing women. Hibbert currently has no outside stars to attract defenses, his personal ability to hold the ball in a one-on-one is not good, and he has no shooting range when playing pick-and-rolls. He has become Gao Yuanyuan ahead of schedule.

On February 24, Guo Xu flew to the East with many teammates to participate in the Orlando Star Weekend.

In addition to the three All-Stars, Thompson and Thomas will also participate in the rookie game. Thompson and Guo Xu will also participate in the three-point contest together.

Guo Xu is very familiar with this city. He once performed a time loop in Orlando on Earth 2, and played extremely crazy with O'Neal, who played for the Magic.

O'Neal came to Star Weekend, too, and he had a job.

This year's All-Star Rookie Challenge will be historic. It will adopt a different format from the past. It will no longer be divided between first and second graders, but a mixed battle. The two major commentators, Barkley and O'Neal, will serve as managers of the two teams to select players, each selecting 10 players for the game.

After checking into the hotel, Guo Xu went out to play and accepted an exclusive interview with reporter Audrey Jones, who is an acquaintance.

When asked about his thoughts on participating in the All-Star Game for the 11th time in a row and becoming the vote winner for the 10th time in a row, Guo Xu was not very excited.

I actually want to participate in competitions in other sports, and I want to participate in the Olympics. I am very good in fencing, taekwondo, and archery, but I don't know how to participate. I feel very troubled when I think about it.

Sounds like you're getting a little bored with basketball games.

It sounds arrogant to say that, but it's true.
