Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

For Phoenix, which is hosting the All-Star Game this year, they really feel like they have met a close friend.

Zuo Li's publicity effect is too strong. Although the attention of this All-Star Festival is obviously better than the previous ones, the absence of veteran stars such as Tracy McGrady, Kidd, and Nash still makes many fans lack interest. Although the new generation Roy

His abilities are outstanding, but his recognition among young fans is still not high enough.

But Zuo Li is different. He has a high reputation among young people and is extremely popular. He is the hottest star this season. With just a few words, the tickets for individual games were sold out overnight, and the rookie game was even more popular.

The supply exceeds the demand, which is better than advertising.

Phoenix, the organizer of the All-Star Game, and NBA officials are very fortunate that Zuo Li is still a rookie in this All-Star Game, because Zuo Li will participate in all three days of the game and is the busiest person in the All-Star Game. This also means that there are people watching every day.

point!

…

After the press conference, Zuo Li invited all his teammates to have a meal together. Because of the All-Star relationship, these guys would not see each other for another week.

Everyone's choices were different. Randolph chose to stay in New York and spend the weekend with his wife and children at home, while Larry Hughes chose to go to Las Vegas for a vacation.

Of course, there are also those who choose to go to Phoenix to watch the All-Stars. For example, David Lee is a member of the audience. This time he booked front-row tickets for three consecutive days from the rookie game to the final game.

A total of nearly 100,000 dollars was spent on translating what a rich person means.

He was nominally cheering for Zuo Li, but in reality he was taking the girl on a date. After learning that Zuo Li was in love, David Lee finally got the idea, and this time he took his female companion to Phoenix together.

Ewing Jr. and second-year player Wilson Chandler will also go to Phoenix with Zuo Li to play in the rookie game.

Although Dragic also wanted to watch, he chose to stay with the team and continue training to prepare for the next game.

This attitude was so good that Zuo Li also left his Q7 with Dragic and asked him to drive to the arena every day. After all, he lived in the suburbs of New York and the traffic was not so convenient.

After eating and drinking, Zuo Li also returned to his apartment. Just now, the last game of this round ended, and the league officially entered the All-Star rhythm.

Turning on the computer, Zuo Lixian took a look at this year's All-Star lineup.

In fact, you don’t need to watch it. This All-Star class is a very successful one, so Zuo Li has a very deep memory, and he also remembers the lineup, so Zuo Li didn’t pay special attention to it when it was announced before.

But now it's time to find out.

It turns out that one week after the starters were announced, the league also announced the All-Star substitute roster.

Let’s talk about the West first. They are O’Neal who has returned to the All-Stars after a year, Gasol of the Lakers, Dirk, the veteran driver of the Mavericks, Roy, the super sophomore of the Trail Blazers, Parker, the young sports car of the Spurs, and the second-in-command of the Hornets.

West and Nuggets brain Billups.

The head coach is Phil Jackson.

This lineup is quite fair, and it can be seen that the Western Conference is really full of talents at this time, and some veteran stars have not been selected.

It is not without controversy, that is, it was held in Phoenix, but Suns boss Nash was not selected as a substitute, which caused dissatisfaction among local fans.

Of course, this is not incomprehensible. After all, the Suns' record is too poor, and Stoudemire and O'Brien have already been selected, which is the same number as the Spurs, Lakers and other high-ranking teams. What's more, Anthony has not been selected.

Oh, this is another controversial point... That's okay.

Of course, the disputed area also exists in the east, and it is even bigger!

The Eastern Conference's substitute list is: Magic's Rashard Lewis and Nelson, Raptors' Bosh, Celtics' Pierce, Pacers' Danny Granger, Hawks' Joe Johnson, and Nets' Devin Harris.

The head coach is Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown.

Compared with the West, the quality of the stars in the East is not even the slightest bit different. There is simply no comparison. This also reflects the strength gap between the East and West in this era. In addition to the equal starting strength, the substitutes are not at the same level at all.

The controversial point is that the Magic, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference, have as many as three players as substitute All-Stars. Currently, the Celtics, who are third, only have two players with the same record, ranking first respectively. The Knicks and Cavaliers, who are second, both have.

Only one person is selected!

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Mo Williams, the Boston Celtics' Rondo and Ray Allen, and the Knicks' Randolph were all ultimately rejected.

When this list was announced, fans were in a frenzy. They left messages on the official website one after another, asking if Stern was the Magic's uncle...

Zuo Li was also helpless. He thought he could at least change the situation. After all, Randolph turned around this season and played very well. But the All-Star is like this. There have always been controversies. After all, the quota is limited and it is difficult to fully divide the cake.

good.

Lillard would definitely agree with this statement.

However, Zuo Li didn't dwell too much on it. He was just enjoying the main event. Although he was the top vote-getter, he didn't plan to steal the show. His focus was on the individual events and the rookie event.

The rookie competition roster was also released at the end of last month.

The first-year class is led by Zuo Li and Rose, and also includes O.J. Mayo, Marc Gasol, last year's No. 1 pick Greg Oden, guard Rudy Fernandez, Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, and Michael Biss.

Lee and Ewing Jr.

The second-year class is led by Durant, with Jeff Green, Horford, Thornton, Thaddeus Young, Wilson Chandler, Rodney Stuckey, Scola of the Rockets, and Brooks also selected.

From the perspective of the lineup, the 2008 generation is obviously more valuable, both inside and outside. While the strength inside is explosive, the back line is also full of talents.

In contrast, the advantage of the 2007 generation is on the front line, and Durant's strength should not be underestimated.

However, for the rookie game, Zuo Li's goal is very clear. I remember Durant cramming the whole game in this game, and Zuo Li's goal is to win and get the mvp!

As for the individual competitions, Zuo Li focused on the skills competition.

The Nets' Devin Harris, the Spurs' Tony Parker, the Bulls' No. 1 pick Derrick Rose and Zuo Li participated.

In addition to Zuo Li, the other three people include the third generation of point guards in the league, old, middle and young.

However, compared with last year and 2009, the participants in this year's skills competition are obviously average in level. This is also Zuo Li's best chance to win the championship.

"It's time to give the league's defenders more strength." Zuo Li geared up.

In a few years, the guards' jobs will be completely taken away by forwards and interior players. Some guards can't shoot as well as the big men. It seems that their lives are too comfortable.

Zuo Li wants them to roll up!

As for the slam dunk contest…

"I'm ready for the free throw line, are you ready to scream!"
