Basketball: Dayao Reopened

With Yao Ming's last shot, the Trail Blazers finally won the Nuggets!

109 to 111, the Nuggets regretted losing at their home court.

However, although they failed to beat the Trail Blazers, the media after the game were amazed by the Nuggets, because this was the first time this season that a team played with the Trail Blazers to the last minute.

Kenny Smith even said: "I think all teams in the entire league should thank the Nuggets, because it is this game that makes everyone know the Trail Blazers better than before!"

During the anxious battle, the Trail Blazers had taken off their mystery. At least until the anxious time, the league guys were also clear. The man who stood up to take over the game was still the man in the No. 11 shirt!

In the last 2 minutes of this game, Chris Paul and Vince Carter's running positions were helping Yao Ming contain the defense, creating a 1-on-1 singles space for him...

And Yao Ming also lived up to expectations, hitting two key shots, including the last 11 seconds to face the inside three-pointer and the three-pointer that officially locked the game!

The tactical play at the critical moment to a large extent also reflects the true focus of this team!

And many teams’ play styles were also studied thoroughly at critical moments, and then gradually found a way to target them. What many people don’t know is that the Warriors, which played 73 wins and 9 losses, played in that season. The number of wins since then has been declining. The first year was 73 wins, the second year became 67 wins, and in the third year, it became 58 wins. Regardless of off-court factors, other teams More thorough research on their tactics also accounts for a large part of the reason!

This invincible Trail Blazers team is experiencing such a moment...

But as far as the current progress is concerned, Yao Ming is not worried that other teams in the league will be able to study them thoroughly this season.

It's no wonder that he is so confident. It is true that the Trail Blazers have encountered a really difficult game so far. The game just ended right now. Other games are basically crushing rounds!

There are many reasons for this situation.

One is that the current tactics of the Trail Blazers are indeed advanced, and another reason is that the overall strength of the league team this year is weak!

Don't mention it in the east!

As for the so-called "Top 5" in the West, the Mavericks and the Suns have reached the best state of their current lineup... but they are still not the opponents of the Trail Blazers.

As I said before, what Yao Ming needs to worry about is actually only the Nuggets and the Kings!

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, Yao Ming’s worries are not wrong. This year’s Nuggets are indeed worth noting. In this game, they brought huge trouble to the Trail Blazers...

In fact, if it hadn't been for two consecutive missed shots after Jr Smith came up, the Nuggets would have had the chance to surpass the difference at 6 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Of course, this is jr Smith.

Regardless of the fourth quarter, if it weren't for the three consecutive 3-pointers after his debut in the third quarter, the Nuggets could be opened by the Trailblazers by more than 8 points in the third quarter!

To put it simply, Jr Smith saved the Nuggets in the third quarter, and then pitted in the fourth quarter, which is not actually a pit, it just didn't stand up.

This is actually very common for jr Smith. If you want to see the "super god" jr Smith, then you have to accept the "7 shot 0 for 7" jr Smith!

So no one in the team behaved him.

Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points tonight. His offensive firepower on the flanks is impressive. He has renewed a major contract this summer and played very well, averaging 29.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. , The shooting percentage is as high as 48.2%! This offensive ability has undoubtedly grown to the top level of the league.

In terms of ESPN's latest NBA active small forward rankings, Carmelo Anthony has ranked in the top 3!

Denver's media ranked him first in active service!

He doesn't blush at all...

But let's say it or not, this is indeed when the small forward is in decline. Michael Jordan's "shenzhen" has made shooting guards the focus of more teams, and the small forwards have done a variety of tasks. For example, the second offense, such as rebounding, defense, organization, anyway, the responsibility of the old line of scoring has been shared.

For now, the league’s No. 3 Marsh has been seriously injured. Kirilenko is considered a representative of the all-around forward, but he is a bit unqualified if he wants to represent the small forwards of the league.

Counting down, there are only representatives of the two new generations of LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, and if Denver's media are to choose, they will naturally not be able to put LeBron James in Carmel. In front of Ron Anthony!

With such a calculation, it seems quite reasonable to rank Carmelo Anthony in the first position.

It can also be seen from here that the Denver media have no intention of sending Carmelo Anthony out.

In two years, this melon has become a bit familiar from the green look, which gives them reason to believe that Carmelo Anthony will be "ripe" soon!

Now they can have a hard time with this Trail Blazers team. If Carmelo Anthony is really "satisfied", they might be able to beat this Trail Blazers team?

And if they can beat the Trail Blazers, will the championship be far behind?

It's definitely not far away!

It can only be said that Denver's media think very much.

Of course, for them now, they are qualified to think about the future, especially after this game is over.

Take a look at Carmelo Anthony, how powerful is the flank impact on the Trail Blazers!

However, the Cleveland media have different opinions on this game. They don't think that the Nuggets can play so well with the Trail Blazers because of Carmelo Anthony.

In their view, the command of Chauncey Billups is the most important reason why this team can play so well!

The Denver media explained this: "The Cleveland media are very jealous, because Carmelo Anthony has achieved a career curve overtaking. Now the Nuggets are clearly a better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers!"

This diss also made the next game of the Nuggets vs. Cavaliers full of gunpowder.

LeBron James sent a message of confidence to Anthony in the past: "Brother, no matter what happens on the court, our friendship will remain the same!" He still hopes that in the future he can recruit Anthony to form the "Banana Boat Brothers" with him!

Anthony saw the confidence and said: "Don't worry, man, we will always be the best brothers!"

He really did not take the words of the Cleveland media to heart. In fact, he himself felt that the Cleveland media said it was completely fine. This Nuggets can become so good. The arrival of Chauncey Billups. Definitely played an irreplaceable role!

"He is a very great player with a lot of experience. I have learned a lot from him, not just on the court. I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with a player like him. To be honest, he is really underestimated! "

He himself praised Billups in front of the media.

This is the first time he has praised his teammates so much in front of the media. Even the management of the Nuggets was a little surprised. Is it possible that he made a profit this time?

In order to bring in Billups and Chris Weber, the Nuggets can be said to have bet on the future. The good news is that it seems that there is no wrong bet this time...

It was also Carmelo Anthony's mad praise, coupled with the Nuggets' record is really good, this time Joe Dumas was pulled out to whip the body.

"The Detroit Morning Post" wrote: "A guy who should be the least traded was traded by a stupid general manager. Okay, now the whole league is watching our jokes!"

Joe Dumas was a little sad, and he must admit that he underestimated Billups' abilities a bit.

He really didn't expect that he could actually play with Carmelo Anthony, this, shouldn't be!

Carmelo Anthony: That's because you don't know how good your brother is!

On the first day Billups came to Denver, Carmelo Anthony prepared several teas to entertain Billups, but what he didn't expect was that Billups had a courtesy exchange as soon as he finished serving. It was also this exchange of gifts that opened up Carmelo Anthony's vision and opened the door to a new world!

Many people think that Carmelo Anthony played so well because he signed a big contract, but who knows that it is his "technique" that really conquered Carmelo Anthony!

Since then, Carmelo Anthony has also recognized Billups as his eldest brother. There is no way, someone who knows how to play, just teach him any skills, he can immediately make his wife taste like a doughnut !

Two words: Shuangfei!

It is said that the two people are in agreement, and Carmelo Anthony can willingly hand the ball to Billups's hands to control it, and he can safely stand up when he needs him to stand up...

Coupled with Chris Webber's needle threading, it's only weird that the Nuggets are not strong!

Anyway, with the current strength of the Cavaliers, it is better to be touched.

No, in the quarrel between Cleveland and Denver, the first game of the season between the two teams also arrived as scheduled. As a result, the Cavaliers were beaten by the Nuggets from the beginning. In the end, the Nuggets scored 20 points. The advantage of the points difference ended this fierce competition in the media.

All the dust settled, Cleveland was slammed by Denver's media, and the messy appearance resembled the Weibo homepage of "Shoe King" and wx on November 7, 2021.

It can be seen that in the recent period, the media in Cleveland dare not mention the name Carmelo Anthony anymore.

The Trail Blazers continued their winning streak. Before the "Christmas War" arrived, their winning streak unknowingly came to a 5-game winning streak, and then they ushered in the "Christmas War" with the Heat.

Just as Yao Ming expected, although it was the "Christmas War", the Heat's current strength can indeed not cause much obstruction to the Trail Blazers.

Barely supporting less than three quarters, the Trail Blazers quickly opened the point difference to more than 5 points, 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers lead has reached 18 points!

This game has completely entered garbage time!

However, the ratings of this game are still quite high.

Although the game is not fierce, who makes the Trail Blazers so good?

Even some fans who haven't watched the NBA for a long time have come back to watch the NBA specifically for the Trailblazers.

Because the Trail Blazers are so scary, after playing the "Christmas War", the time has come to December 25, and there are six days left, and the second month of the league's new season is about to pass.

But the Blazers lost only one game during this period of time!

This is something that even the Bulls, which won 72 wins and 10 losses that year, did not do... It's really a strong **** open door to the strong, and the strong is home!

No one dislikes the strong.

Especially strong to this point!

There are so many Trail Blazers fans all over the world...

And the number has surged to an exaggerated point.

How exaggerated...

With the end of the "Christmas War", the voting channel for the start of the 2007 All-Star Weekend was officially opened. After the first week, Yao Ming and Vince Carter ranked the top two in the eastern and western parts of the league.

Although Chris Paul didn't rank in the top two guards, he was so far behind Steve Nash, who was second, with less than 10,000 votes.

If the Trail Blazers continue to be so strong, he has a very high probability of squeezing into the top two guards!

From this we can see how many new fans the Trail Blazers have added!

Of course, with that sentence, this Trail Blazers team is really good, after 44 regular season games, their number of negative games only increased by one.

42 wins and 2 losses, needless to say, this must have created the best record in the NBA season halfway...

It also made the media talk about the Blazers even louder!

After 44 games, the media did analyze more things about the Trail Blazers. Bill Walton said bluntly: "This team emphasizes offensive space on the offensive end, and everything is for The offense can be better arranged!"

This sentence can be regarded as the most crucial point of the Blazers' new tactics!

At this time, experts in the entire league began to realize that the essence of tactics is for players to have a more comfortable shot space, not for someone to receive the ball and attack... Don’t look at the words like this. Nonsense, but in fact, before the Trail Blazers played like this, most of the league’s tactics focused on receiving the ball as the goal. After he received the ball, he opened up the space to help him singles. This tactic has a very The popular name is called "position war"!

Because of the slow pace, it is the standard equipment of the "traditional center" era!

However, looking at the way the Blazers play now, the pace of the pace is not necessarily related to the tactical position. The Blazers often run a tactic for more than ten seconds to get the best shot space...

They cooperate quickly with each other, but the time of each round of shots is not much different from that of "positional warfare".

Yao Ming is not worried about the fact that experts in the league have analyzed more and more advanced theories from the Trailblazers' tactics. It is not that simple to use theories!

In particular, many tactical theories in the "small ball era" require all-round talents, which is also scarce in the current league. He is not worried about how many "cow breaking" teams will suddenly appear!

During this period, the Trail Blazers finally ushered in a battle with the Kings.

As far as the difficulty of this game is concerned, it is not as big as Yao Ming imagined. The reason is that the Kings' defense has certain problems, and the depth of their lineup has not reached the level of championship level.

118 to 107, the Trail Blazers beat the Kings by 11 points.

The high hopes for the Kings team have also stopped. The situation of this league in the new season is gradually becoming clear. In simple terms, it is "one super, many strong" and only one "super team". Naturally, it is the Trailblazers. There are almost six "How Strong", four of the top five in the Western Conference except for the Trail Blazers, plus the Heat and Pacers in the Eastern Conference, and the rest are all accompanied.

Speaking of which, at this stage of the schedule, the number of bad teams in the league is also increasing.

If you count them down, there are almost 6 teams that have been put on the surface, and there are 3 teams that are a bit sneaky.

In addition to the draft year in 2007, it is also related to the current situation of the league!

The general manager of many teams understands that if you continue to maintain the current lineup, there is absolutely no hope of winning in the next few years!

In this case, it is better to completely push to reconstruction. In this way, while you can survive the strong period of the Trail Blazers, any team has a period of prosperity. Don’t you see the "three consecutive championships" overlord of the 00-02 season, the Lakers are now in the army. Are you a member?

The Trail Blazers are very strong now, but after three years, the league will have to be turbulent again!

They have looked towards 2 years from now...

Not to mention, it is indeed a way!

However, it turned out to be bad. The Trail Blazers' such strong record made the other teams in the league a bit disgraced, so this group of guys began to target the Trail Blazers again!

This group of guys seems to have said that they can lose other games, that is, the game with the Trail Blazers, even if they can't win, they have to gnaw a bone from them!

The Blazers players have felt this kind of targeting, but this is not the first time. Since last season, they have felt the targeting from other teams in the league intermittently.

No way, too good will indeed be beaten!

That's it. In the last two weeks of January, they successively won their third and fourth defeats...

Until the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, the Blazers have lost 6 games!

It is equivalent to saying that in a month and a half, about 21 games, the Trail Blazers lost 5 games. Although the 76% win rate is already exaggerated, if compared with their win rate in the first two months, it is not so scary. !

Well, good, wait until the All-Star Weekend, then continue!

The arrival of the All-Star weekend means that two-thirds of the schedule has passed. Now the Trail Blazers have only lost 4 games, and there is a great possibility of breaking the best regular season record in NBA history!

This is not what players from other teams in the league want to see.

Therefore, the targeting must continue!

Of course, no matter how you target it, it will be after the All-Star Weekend. Now let us enjoy this All-Star Weekend.

And finally, I stayed in the same hotel with Yao Ming for three days, so I had to have a good chat with him!

It seems that his contract expires after the end of this season, right?

"Yao, did you know that the Gold Club is in Atlanta!?"

"Hey, buddy, I think you should come to Golden State, where there is the largest Chinatown in the United States!"

"Dude, isn't the name King of New York famous?"

One by one, they started to share the local customs of their respective cities with Yao Ming. There was no other meaning, but the world was so big, they wanted to take Yao Ming to see it.

What's the point of staying in Portland, the "wonderful city"!

You say, right!

And because of this, this can be very busy with Francis and Vince Carter.

The two of them are guarding against others like anti-thief. Anyone approaching Yao Ming must accept the scrutiny of both of them.

Two of them, one is experiencing the beauty of Yao Ming, and the other is thinking about continuity with Yao Ming in the future. Naturally, they don't want others to have the opportunity to come in!

Actually, they can be less nervous. Yao Ming himself doesn’t know where to go next stop. He is full of one thing now, which is to win a championship with the Trail Blazers first. As for other things, wait. Let's talk about it after winning the championship!

Steve Patterson just got him a renewal contract a month ago, and he answered him like this: "Man, let's try to win the next three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty. As for For other things, we have the opportunity to sit down and talk slowly!"

The 2007 All-Star Weekend was held at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles.

Although the Lakers' record this season is not very good, but the Lakers still attach great importance to this All-Star, and the atmosphere is very good.

It is worth mentioning that there are also many more posters to greet Yao Ming.

Yao Ming looked at these posters and sighed for a while, because he almost came to the Lakers originally and didn't need these guys to recruit, but now, just recruiting like this will definitely not be able to impress him.

We must know that the situation of the Lakers is too complicated. Originally, he took the initiative. The last two years of the 3 plus 1 contract came to the Lakers, which means that he can use the bargaining chip of "out of the contract" to win a lot of things for himself, but if If he waits to negotiate with the Lakers after jumping out of the contract, he will have fewer chips.

Of course, he can also sign a one-plus-one contract with the Lakers, but it’s so obvious that the Lakers’ management can’t guarantee that he won’t be able to protect him. Therefore, after he decides to stay with the Trail Blazers, he will definitely not in Los Angeles. As the first choice for the next stop in your career.

Maybe he can broaden his commercial territory when he is old-age, but if he really wants to play comfortably, he will definitely not choose Los Angeles.

This is probably called fate and no points...

The first day of the All-Star Weekend is the same as the previous Celebrities and Rookie Challenges. Needless to say, the Masters, entertainment is the focus. This year’s Rookie Challenge has one thing worth mentioning, that is, the game scene has not appeared in the past few years. In the one-sided situation encountered, the first-year team with average overall strength was crushed by the second-year team from the first quarter to the end of the game. After the score on both sides was opened to 20 points, there was no further reduction.

Chris Paul swept through a wave of statistics and became the MVP of this year's Rookie Challenge with 35 points, 18 assists and 5 steals!

At the same time, I have gained a lot of fans.

After the end of the first day of the All-Star Weekend, his Twitter suddenly increased by seven to eighty thousand fans!

Obviously, after the first two-thirds of this season's schedule, Chris Paul's singles ability has improved a lot. Although he has not yet reached the top scorer level, he cleaned up the first-year players in the Rookie Challenge. , There is really no problem!

In this battle, Chris Paul has gradually had a son of the future "São Paulo".

Chris Paul also uploaded his rookie challenge MVP trophy picture to his Twitter as usual. In fact, the quality of this award is average. After all, it was only selected among rookies. For Chris Paul, who has won the championship. That said, there should be a higher pursuit!

Is there any way?

Who let this MVP trophy be won by his overwhelming Deron Williams?

No matter what the award is, as long as it can win against Deron Williams, it is a memorable award for Chris Paul!

Then on the second day, the shooting star and the three major challenges came.

Compared with the first day, there are obviously more topics that can be discussed on the second day.

There are three things worth mentioning.

The first thing is that Kobe is a little apologetic because of the poor record of the Lakers this season. In order to compensate the Lakers fans, but also to make them happy, he chose to participate in this skill challenge.

It's just a pity that the final winner belongs to Deron Williams. He ran a record 25.5 seconds, which allowed him to successfully defend the award while also slamming previous contestants!

It was Chris Paul who was more uncomfortable. When he heard that Deron Williams would participate in this skill challenge, he also chose to sign up for the first time.

It's just a pity that in the end he was eliminated in the preliminaries.

This time it's Deron Williams' turn to ride his face to output him...

For nothing, Chris Paul was very uncomfortable that night. It was Anthony who took him to the nightclub for a tour, and then he was not so depressed... This All-Star Weekend, the original "Banana Boat" brothers The deepening of friendship is still very fast.

Although Wade and Chris Paul were still a little uncomfortable with each other because of last season...but two cats peeed, and there was no discomfort. They were so happy in the nightclub.

The second thing is that Howard also participated in the slam dunk contest. As before, he won the final slam dunk contest with a Superman dunk.

The slight difference from the original version is that this action is not creative enough because Francis has performed similar before, but Francis submits the glasses, giving this dunk a taste of inheritance.

And according to this season, Howard's stats per game has improved again, averaging 22 points and 14.5 rebounds per game. Just looking at the data, this is already a fierce beast!

The name of "Warcraft" has gradually started in this alliance.

In this way, Francis's move to submit glasses has even more meaning to inheritance!

The dunk finally got a perfect score of 50 points.

Even Yao Ming has to admit that, just talking about dress, Francis’s Spider-Man is a classic, but Howard is definitely better than this. If nothing else, just this figure, who can say him? Not Superman?

In addition, Vince Carter participated in this three-point shooting contest.

However, he did not take the initiative to participate, but an invitation from the league. Last year's playoffs allowed most people in the league to see his long-range shooting ability. This year's steady performance has given him his shooting ability. It has been affirmed by everyone, and the official invitation also followed.

It's just a pity that although he made it to the finals, he failed to make it to the end.

"No one defends the man with the most accurate shots" Kapono won the final championship, and this battle also made him famous!

It is worth mentioning that before this All-Star Weekend, Capono was about to lose his place in the Heat.

It was this champion who reconsolidated his ranking...

And his defending next year will allow him to stay in the league for many more years.

In fact, the champions of the three-point shooting contest in history are quite strong. Only a few players who won the three-point shooting contest have left the league at the peak of their career, and Capo Nou is one of them.

His shooting accuracy in the face of defense is really problematic...

The end of the second day of the All-Star ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then came the main event-the All-Star Race.

This year's ticket king is still Yao Ming.

The Trail Blazers' dominance record has given him a lot of points.

Ranked second is Vince Carter, whose reason is similar to Yao's name, and because he has been on the regular season MVP list this year, this has also made many of his fans a lot more positive when voting for him.

It's just a pity that Chris Paul ultimately failed to squeeze either Kobe or Steve Nash.

Of course, this is no way. One of them is the host of this year, and the other is the regular season MVP of last season. With Chris Paul as a second-year student, it is really difficult to meet the two of them...

However, although he didn't make it into the starting list, the bench lineup still made steady progress.

Coupled with this year's Deron Williams still did not enter the All-Star bench, this result is not disappointing for Chris Paul!

What's interesting is that although Deron did not make it, Boozer was selected as a substitute for the All-Star Western reserve. In addition, in the Eastern Conference, Caron Butler was also selected for the first time in his career.

In terms of freshness, this All-Star Weekend are all "old acquaintances". There are just two new faces. Of course, these guys are in the best state of their careers, because the faces are old, but they are worthy of expectation. It's full!

In addition, Kobe also rarely shouted before the game: "I will do my best to perform. In Staples Arena, I will show the host side!" Full of enthusiasm.

Obviously, this is his way of making up for the fans...
