Build a Dream Dynasty

On February 25, the rookie challenge started first, and the rookie team led by Charles Barkley defeated the rookie team led by Shaquille O'Neal 146-133. The No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving, scored 34 points and 9 assists, made 8 of 8 three-pointers, and was elected the best player in the game. He proved with his strength that teammates in the NBA are different! Paul George scored 23 points. Although his performance was not as dazzling as Irving, who has already been selected for the All-Star Game, who would care too much about the honor of the rookie game?

Among the other players of the Nets participating in the rookie game, Bledsoe was limited by his style of play and position (too many point guard talents), and only got 12 minutes of playing time. Although Leonard played a lot of time, he It can be seen that he didn't pay much attention to the All-Star Game, which is a performance. He just took 5 shots with the intensity of training, hit 3 goals, and only scored 7 points.

Such a player is quite pleasing to his head coach. After all, from the perspective of a coach, he also hopes that his players will preserve their physical strength and show better performance in official games.

Of course, from the perspective of the general manager, this matter. Jiang Mingliang may not be of one mind with Stevens. After all, with an All-Star in the team, it would be much easier to sell tickets.

On February 26, the All-Star Weekend continued. In the Shooting Star Contest, the New York team led by pitcher Alan Houston beat the pack and won the championship. In the past two years, the Nets came to grab the market. A lot of progress has been made in all aspects. From their operation to Anthony, to the introduction of Chandler to strengthen the defense, and even hook up with JR Smith, who is in the CBA and in the NBA, we can see the "motivation" of this team. However, there is no self-motivation alone. In the final analysis, Blood Warriors can only exist in comics, novels, movies, business alliances, and professional operation is the way to win.

The winner of the Skills Challenge ultimately went to Tony Parker of the Spurs. Each point guard showed their abilities, but the two most popular players, Kyrie Irving, performed abnormally in the preliminaries and came out at the bottom of the game. The shooting was a big miss. In the end, Parker won the championship of this skill challenge with a not-so-great result.

Although it is the one with the least attention among the three competitions, at the same time, the Skills Challenge is also the most star-studded competition. The participating point guard players are all All-Stars or quasi-All-Stars, and their status is relatively high. of. In the following three-point contest, although Durant and Love were also in the lead, the overall star flavor has faded a lot. Like the skill contest, the three-point shoot contest was also exciting in the preliminaries, but lackluster in the finals. With Durant and Love both scoring 16 points, the defending champion Jones only scored 12 points, which is surprising.

In the end, the PK between Love and Durant was likewise pecking at each other without quotation marks. Love's 17 points would not even make it to the finals in the past. However, Durant responded with 14 points to win The three-point king surrendered, once again proving that he is a practical three-point shooter, and the three-point contest is not suitable for him.

As for the slam dunk contest, it can only be said that it has been played to death by the league. Griffin was able to win the championship by flying a car head without any difficulty. This year's competition continued to be based on the theme of tribute and leap. Jazz teenager Evans flew over the fans wearing Malone jerseys, which fit well with this Two themes also took away the final dunk king.

How to reform the All-Star game has become the focus of David Stern, Adam Silver and other management's next work. If this continues, there will be fewer and fewer All-Star highlights!

The All-Star game also presented a situation that bored the audience. The players played too much as brothers and sisters. Everyone seemed to be participating in a social activity. This is the meaning of the All-Star itself, and from the perspective of the team Speaking of it, I wish my players could save some energy, but it is reflected in the game that the players should not behave like this. The only player who really played seriously was Westbrook, and his seriousness was not reflected in the game, but he did his best to help Durant win the All-Star MVP. The final result was fulfilled, but what can this prove?

Suitable for fans to watch, but not suitable for fans, the current All-Star is like this.

. . . . . . .

No one will care about the outcome of the All-Star Weekend except the fans, but when the All-Star Weekend is over, the real highlight will begin!

The first is the trade deadline after the All-Star break.

Taking advantage of the trade deadline, all teams in the league are carrying out large and small trade reinforcements.

The biggest trades occurred between the Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers. Brazilian center Nene moved to the Wizards, the Nuggets got the Wizards' defensive center JaVale McGee (microblogging), and the Clippers got the "singles king" Wizards guard Nick Young.

After the lockout period, the Nuggets signed a three-year 39 million contract with Nene, but the Nuggets regretted it before the contract was fulfilled for one season. The Wizards couldn't bear McGee's repeated "brain-dead" actions for a long time. The two sides hit it off and pulled the Clippers to complete the three-way deal. The Wizards got an insider with comprehensive offensive means, which greatly enhanced the stability of the insider, and the Nuggets went further and further on the road of the Denver Athletics.

Jiang Mingliang's Nets team was quite low-key during this period and did not make any transactions. Even the Warriors who made him very tempted to make a deal about Curry, he politely declined.

Now is not the time to talk about this!

Before the All-Star Weekend, the 30 teams in the league have generally played 40 games, and after the All-Star Weekend, the next game will be 26 games. The pressure of the schedule will be slightly less than before the All-Star Game.

These 26 games will determine which 16 teams will participate in the playoffs this season.

The lower-ranked teams will start to fight for playoff tickets, and the higher-ranked teams will not be too comfortable.

The playoffs are played in order of ranking. The better the record, the weaker the opponent will be. For example, in the battle between the Nets and the Celtics for the third place in the Eastern Conference, whoever wins will win. Who can avoid the relatively difficult Orlando Magic in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and face the relatively easy-to-play Atlanta Hawks.

Teams with superstars will always perform better in the playoffs. Howard's lethality really cannot be completely blocked by a "shark-cutting tactic", otherwise, he would not be where he is today.

However, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. After the All-Star Game, the Nets suffered a three-game losing streak.

In an away game loss to the Washington Wizards, Nene, who had just joined the team, used 28+9 excellent data to completely suppress West, who had returned from injury, and smashed the inside of the Nets. Although there is no hope for the playoffs this season, the Wizards should perform well next season after they are completely free from constraints.

The loss to the Celtics at home directly caused the Nets' record to be tied by the opponent, and because of the relationship between victory and defeat, they ranked behind the Celtics. Before entering the playoffs, the veterans of the Celtics began to exert their strength gradually and defeated the Nets in a hand-to-hand encounter.

Against the Pacers at home, Paul George, who performed poorly in the first two games, continued his poor touch. Let Jiang Mingliang and Stevens' confidence in Camby come to the bottom. Stevens officially made an adjustment. In the next season, Baynes will replace Camby as the team's starting center!
