Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Since the 2012 All-Star Game was announced to be held in Orlando, one person has naturally occupied the starting position, and that is Howard of the Magic.

It would be a big joke if the host country's star player couldn't be selected for the All-Star Game held right next door.

Sure enough, in a special program held on TNT at 19:00 pm on February 2, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic won the vote leader with 1,600,390 votes and served as the starting center for the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

The second-most votes in the Eastern Conference is Chicago Bulls star Rose (1.514.723 votes).

Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony occupy the other spots on the Eastern Conference All-Star starting roster.

Eastern Conference All-Star substitutes include Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, and first-time All-Stars Andre Iguodala, Luol Deng and Roy Shee

Bert.

The top vote-getter in the Western Conference is Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers (1,555,479 votes). In 2012, he made his 14th Western Conference All-Star start.

Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, and Kevin Durant continue to maintain their All-Star starting status. In addition, Blake Griffin and Andrew Bynum were also selected to the starting list for the first time.

The Western Conference All-Star reserves are Steve Nash, Russell Westbrook, Tony Parker, Kevin Love, Dirk Nowitzki, and first-time All-Star LaMarcus Aldrie

Qi and Marc Gasol.

Although the Tank team has a poor record, under the protection of the rules, they will receive higher draft picks and can accumulate a team of young talents in a few years;

The current team is working hard to win the championship, winning many games, and the scenes are good to watch. Even if the star player does not play well, there are role players who take the blame, which can attract traffic;

The Pacers' record is not outstanding, and since they are located in Indiana, there is not much traffic. Granger's ability to attract fans is not high, and the record has always been maintained at 4-8 in the Eastern Conference, neither above nor below.

But the Pacers are not without gains:

Second-year George was selected by the Barkley team and will participate in the Rookie Challenge after the first restructuring (mixed first- and second-year players).

"Paul, congratulations to you."

After confirming the list, the Pacers members sent their blessings to the only seedling.

Paul grinned, but still said modestly:

"Actually, I would rather enter the main draw."

"With your ability, it's not impossible to enter the All-Star Game within two or three years."

Granger is also happy for his little brother,

"When the time comes, I will cheer you on from the sidelines."

George said:

"Boss Danny, when the time comes, we will fight side by side in the All-Stars!"

"OK!"

Granger also became interested and made an agreement with George,

"When the time comes, we will go in together, no, with Lance (Stephenson), Qi and Roy (Hibbert)!"

West looked at Hibbert, who was excited about Granger's words, and shook his head, "You have to compete with Howard Noah. How can it be so easy?"

He turned to Qi Tian and said:

"Seven, they are definitely discriminating against you. Even Norris Cole entered the Rookie Challenge!"

The first-year rookies selected for this Rookie Challenge include: Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers), Ricky Rubio (Minnesota Timberwolves), Marshon Brooks (New Jersey Nets), Brandon Knight (

Detroit Pistons), Kawhi Leonard (St. Anthony

San Antonio Spurs), Markieff Morris (Phoenix Suns), Tristan Thompson (Cleveland Cavaliers), Derrick Williams (Minnesota Timberwolves), Norris Cole (Miami Heat) and Qi Tian

Old friend Kemba Walker (Charlotte Bobcats).

Among them, Norris Cole only averaged 6.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, while Qi Tian also averaged 6.5 points per game, but his 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists were better than Cole.

Not to mention that Qi Tian's performance has been getting better and better recently. Not long ago, he scored a career-high score of 23 points. Although he is still not as good as Irving, Knight and others, he can't even compare to Cole, a backup point guard. Indeed

It's a bit unreasonable.

Qi Tian didn't care. There was a big difference in flow between the substitutes of the championship team and the substitutes of the playoff teams.

Not to mention, the Rookie Challenge is a showcase for the rookies that the team has high hopes for, and the Rookie Challenge MVP can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Real stars won't care even if they win. If the career honors are only a rookie MVP, then that's it.

How miserable.

Seeing Qi Tian's dull expression, West's heart moved and he asked:

"This All-Star event is not interesting. How about we take advantage of this five-day vacation and go out to have fun together?"

He gestured wildly.

"David,"

Qi Tian looked at West in surprise and asked,

"It seems you really want to go to China."

"Of course."

West said with some emotion,

"If I didn't play golf, I might become a traveler and experience various local customs and customs."

"Okay, but I have to state in advance that I don't know much about China, so don't count on me too much then."

Thinking of returning to his parents' homeland, Qi Tian actually felt a little uneasy.

"It doesn't matter, there are people who will help us."

West made a gesture, pointed at himself, and said,

"Just tell the official that we are going to China for an activity, and the activity party will take us around."

"This is a good idea."

Qi Tian's eyes lit up and he agreed to West's proposal.

Hibbert on the other side heard West and Qi Tian talking about playing, and suddenly his face turned bitter, and he said to Stephenson who came over:

"If I go to the All-Star Game, won't I be able to go to nightclubs during those days?"

"Are you a fool?"

Stephenson and Hibbert have a very good relationship and immediately taunted,

"There are also nightclubs in Orlando. Besides, if you can make it to the All-Stars, your reputation will skyrocket. Even if you go to a nightclub in Miami, there will be many people who will support you!"

"Too."

In the final analysis, the All-Star Game is to provide players with a break in the middle of a long schedule. They can be a little noisy and lively, and then go back to their respective homes, each with their own goals.

Vogel walked in from outside the door and interrupted everyone's thoughts:

"Okay, there are still 20 days until the All-Star Game, why are you in a hurry?"

"Today's opponent is the defending champion Mavericks."

The defending champion is the previous champion. If they win again this season, it will be a successful defense;

And failure means failure to defend the title.

But Qi Tian knows that after losing Tyson Chandler and Caron Butler, and Kidd and Driver becoming one year older, the Mavericks are getting further and further away from the championship and even the Western Conference Finals.
