The Pope of Basketball Community

In January, the Clippers lost three more games, missed the opportunity to set a new record, and players also suffered injuries.

During the game against the Raptors, Jokic accidentally strained his left hip in the third quarter and was unable to stand on his own, which shocked everyone. Fortunately, his X-ray test was negative and it was not that serious.

Jokic missed two weeks as a result, and David West missed 9 games due to a left thumb injury. The Clippers' internal strength declined.

Whiteside became the starting center as he wished, but it turns out that he is really inferior to Jokic. Although his athletic ability is strong, his tactical role is limited and he lacks changes after the pick-and-roll. When he catches the ball, he directly attacks the basket. His passing consciousness is not up to standard, and the opponent has traces to follow, so they just need to block his cutting route.

The Clippers' poor movement of the ball inside will also affect the performance of outside players. They lost two games during this period.

Whiteside's style is very similar to Jordan's. The advantage is that he has a longer range than Jordan. Of course, with his current ability, he also deserves a high salary. In his previous life, the Heat paid him 98 million for four years without losing money.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Jordan was negotiating with the Clippers to renew his contract, and he would not sign unless he received the maximum salary. If Jordan breaks out of his contract in 2018 and signs a maximum salary, he can get up to US$207 million in five years.

On the eve of Yang Rui's rebirth, the Clippers couldn't make the playoffs because they were worried about renewing Jordan's contract. It seemed a bit stupid to sign it, and the losses would be huge if he didn't sign it. For example, it would be difficult for Clippers fans to see Jordan again in the future. Without free throws, it would be much less fun.

In short, the salary increase of players in the league is ridiculous. Now Whiteside's annual salary of tens of millions is just a bargain.

In February, the Clippers star won every game before the game.

Yang Rui was trapped in a family war and had a bit of a lapse in work. The three girlfriends have all finished filming and are on vacation. Yang Rui must always stand up and be the peacemaker, and then the three of them always take out their anger on him.

At this time, the role of first assistant coach Luke Walton became apparent. He took on more and more work. In addition to arranging training, he often reminded Yang Rui to make substitutions and call timeouts during games.

Yang Rui is a coach who can accept other people's opinions, and in his previous life, Walton showed his ability with the Warriors in the 15-16 season.

At the time, Warriors coach Steve Kerr underwent two back surgeries in the summer of 2015 and developed spinal fluid leakage. Walton replaced Cole as interim head coach. Under Walton's command, the Warriors started with a record of 29 wins and 1 loss.

After the season, the Lakers offered Walton a contract and hired him to be their head coach.

Now that Yang Rui has always been healthy, Walton doesn't have many opportunities to perform, so it's too late to start.

Star Weekend is held in New Orleans again, for the second time in four years.

Charlotte, the original venue, was disqualified because North Carolina passed a bill against the LGBT community (i.e., gay, bisexual, transgender community) in March last year and refused to protect the rights of these groups. This caused great controversy and was boycotted.

If before 2010, these were just a minority group, it would certainly not matter if North Carolina passed the bill. After 2010, can a state refuse to protect the majority group in the United States without being boycotted?

When the bill was first passed, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stood up to express the league's position and attitude. If North Carolina did not amend the gay discrimination law they approved, the league would consider canceling Charlotte's decision to host the All-Star Game. qualifications.

Hornets owner Michael Jordan also issued a similar statement, stating that the team opposes all forms of discrimination, but it has no effect or substantive effect.

Then Boss Joe cried because the team had previously invested $33.5 million in improving Time Warner Arena, but it was all in vain.

The final results of the All-Star voting are out. This year's vote leader was James. His fans' final votes exceeded 1.8 million. James also ranked first in media votes and player votes.

This year the league revised the voting rules, and the popularity of the stars has increased incredibly. In terms of fan votes, the top three in the Eastern and Western Conferences all received almost the same votes. Many people online questioned the vote.

James has not won a championship, and he went to the Mavericks to form a team. He is criticized every day. There is no reason for him to be so popular?

The league has manipulated voting in the past. If a role player with insufficient strength has a high number of votes, Stern will let outstanding stars take over in the final stage. For example, when Bruce Bowen received a very high number of votes before retiring and his statistics were extremely poor, how could he be selected as an All-Star?

After Adam Silva came to power, the league's manipulation of some things became more and more obvious, and questions were always raised. In China, the media translated his name into Adam Silver, which looks like a Chinese name and the homophonic sound is more like joke.

A league that creates stars for the sake of making stars is disgusting. The Mavericks have the second-best record in the Western Conference. Only halfway through the regular season, many people are speculating that the league is preparing to give James the MVP of this year's regular season.

That's exactly what Silva thought. He has also considered the Thunder's Westbrook, but it is not easy to win. Although Westbrook is currently averaging a triple-double per game, many fans say he is a slut and don't buy it. He was not even selected as a starting star for the Western Conference star.

James' popularity dropped obviously last season. This year he changed teams and became the top vote-getter. It's fishy at first glance. Who will support him? Now some Cavaliers fans have changed their minds.

The Cavaliers are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. Isiah Thomas, who performed extremely well, was selected as the Eastern Star starter. Cavaliers fans are very supportive of him. Last season, Thomas was the one responsible for the Cavaliers' playoff exit.

In any case, Silva successfully brought the NBA All-Star Game to the attention of the world. His development strategy since taking office is to further promote the internationalization of the NBA.

In this era of information explosion, the internationalization of the NBA is more like a well-known media planning its own annual special report. The first step is to create topicality and discussion, and let the world know about this league. . The quickest way is to create a topic so that people from all over the world can share their hatred and criticize or even despise it.

When people find a common groove, their interest and focus are no longer on this groove at all. They are just enjoying the fun of chatting with each other.

For example, why has Kobe always been a superstar? Why does he take the most shots on the team no matter how low his shooting percentage is? Why can he do a retirement tour? Just because the league likes his topicality. Komit and Kohei will always fight. In order to spray more beautifully and accurately, Kehei even watches more Lakers games than Kemi...

James is now also a superstar full of flaws.

Three people from the Clippers were selected for the All-Star Game, Curry started, and Draymond Green and Antetokounmpo came on the bench.

The other four starters in the West are Anthony Davis, James, Harden, and Leonard.

Eastern All-Star starters: Isiah Thomas, Klay Thompson, DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, Durant.

Wall is an All-Star substitute, and his popularity is appallingly low. He has fewer votes than Derrick Rose, who was disabled due to injury, and only slightly higher than Kemba Walker of the Hornets. He has been transformed from the core to the second in command, and now he has become the third in command.

This year's Eastern Star team does not have a single orthodox inside man. Millsap is the only power forward, creating an alternative record.

There are only three interior stars in the Western Conference. After Duncan retired, Aldridge performed poorly this season and was not selected. DeAndre Jordan was selected for the first time, and the other two were his cousin Cousins ​​​​and Davis.

Even guards are generally 190cm tall. The NBA has entered an era where the swingman is king.
