I am Really an Insider

Voting for the 2005 Denver All-Star Game has officially opened, and this time, Chinese fans are excited.

In 2005, the Internet had begun to take shape in China, and personal computers began to enter everyone's home frequently.

Therefore, Chinese fans' participation in All-Star voting is unprecedentedly high.

As soon as the voting opened, CCTV Sports Channel and major newspapers reported the news that Wayne and Yao Ming were selected as candidates.

Do you think Chinese fans will immediately surf the Internet and vote like crazy?

Not to mention Yao Ming, who already had All-Star ability and became the All-Star starting center in his first year.

Chairman Yao: "Get used to it."

As for me, David Wei, if I don't follow him into the All-Stars, who will you eliminate?

Yao Ming must enter, and so must Wayne!

Protect Yao and fight for Wei!

Then in China, there was a crazy wave of All-Star voting.

Two Chinese players competed together on the stage of the All-Star Game. Thinking about it, I almost had an intracranial orgasm.

You must vote, you must vote!

Of course, the results of the first round of voting will not be announced for a few days, and Okafor doesn't know what the situation is like among Chinese fans now.

So until then, Okafor can still skew the picture of becoming the first All-Star in Bobcats history.

Well, in the East, on the forward line, excluding James who participated in the voting as a defender, and excluding Carter, Wayne and Xiao Ou...

That’s me, Okafor!

Artest: I don’t deserve a name?

Pierce: Can my record be worse than the Bobcats?

Well, the pictures are beautiful, but the reality is often very skinny.

When the results of the first round of voting come out, Mr. Perfect should be slapped awake.

To put it bluntly, the league put Okafor on the shortlist just to give Charlotte fans a sense of participation in the All-Star voting.

The Bobcats have just been formed, so they should take care of them.

But if you are given a mouse and you prepare to open an Internet cafe, this is your fault.

At the same time that the All-Star voting opened, the Pacers also ushered in a difficult road trip to the Western Conference in January.

Counting from the last game against the Spurs, the Pacers will play four consecutive away games in the West.

It is generally believed that this wave is likely to bring the Pacers directly back to before liberation.

Don't tell me, it's really no wonder that the outside world looks down on the Pacers.

Because of the strength of the Western Conference teams during this period, they were indeed generally stronger than those in the Eastern Conference.

Sure enough, after losing to the Spurs on the 6th, the Pacers lost to the Mavericks, also from Texas, on the 8th.

Dirk basically had a head-to-head match with O'Brien today, with one scoring 34 points and the other scoring 32 points. One has a hit rate of 60%, and the other has a hit rate of 57.9%.

Wayne was on the sidelines as if he were watching gods fight. Dirk and O'ona had so many offensive moves and rich postures that they were simply gorgeous, and no one could guard the other.

It's a shame that he didn't continue to start today, otherwise he would have been so bad against Dirk.

Ahem, good luck to the Germans!

Because O'Brien and Dirk are basically at odds with each other, the key to the Mavericks' victory is not Dirk, but Michael Finley, the No. 1 successor to Jordan.

Finley seemed to be back at his peak tonight, scoring an exaggerated 33 points.

For several goals, Jackson was directly beaten by Finley, but he could score.

Wu Sheng was so angry that he wanted to fight to vent his anger.

Coupled with 16 points from Jordan junior Jerry Stackhouse on the bench, the Mavericks finally won 111-102.

Wayne basically competed with Stackhouse during the rotation today, and he also scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

But Finley was too tough today. God knows what he ate last night. The Pacers were suppressed throughout the game.

The Texas team gave the Pacers another two-game losing streak, which made the Indianapolis fans very nervous.

It seems that the haze of 7 consecutive losses has shrouded over the cornfield again.

That period of time really left a psychological shadow.

Fortunately, in the next two games against the Hornets and Grizzlies, the Pacers won steadily.

Among them, in the game in Memphis, the Pacers won by 15 points in the end!

The introduction is the NBA regular season.

There are so many teams that have won 70 or 60 games.

Where can I win from the beginning to the end?

Most teams go through consecutive failures and consecutive successes during the regular season.

Whether you can adjust your mentality in time is the key to whether you can perform stably in the regular season.

For example, the Bobcats have a very good mentality and their performance has been very stable.

So far, we have 8 wins and 23 losses.

A pseudo-strong team like the Pacers: there are losses and there are wins, and the stability is worrying.

A "super" team like the Bobcats: negative, negative, negative, more stable than a 20-year-old driver.

Emeka Okafor is truly the second best forward in the Eastern Conference, on par with Dampier, the Mavericks' second center in the Western Conference.

In consecutive losses, although Okafor also played a few more double-doubles.

But seeing the Pacers end their consecutive road trips with a passable record of 2 wins and 2 losses, Okafor began to panic.

Wayne is so arrogant!

Tell me, if you are selected for the candidate list but do not receive many votes

Would this be more embarrassing than not being selected?

Okafor, who entered the league with the aura of a superstar, began to feel the gap.

And Wayne, who entered the league against the Chinese market, is about to feel what is called market dividend.

The regular season is still going on, and after ending four consecutive away games in the Western Conference, the Pacers finally welcomed a team that "sends warmth" - the Orlando Magic.

The Magic's current record is 19 wins and 16 losses, which is not too bad to be honest.

In fact, at the beginning of this season, the Magic had an impressive record of 13 wins and 7 losses.

But as the season progressed, the performance of Francis and Hill showed great ups and downs, and Howard has been tepid. In addition, "old cat" Mobley was sent away, and the Magic's record gradually collapsed.

Now, the Magic are in a state where they can force a 55 opener against anyone they fight.

When you are strong, you become stronger; when you are weak, you become weaker.

But whether the Magic can win after opening 55 points is beyond their control.

A huge poster was put up outside Bankers Life before today's game.

The background of the poster is maize yellow. On the top, Wayne and Howard are looking at each other, and then in the middle is the start time and ticket price of the game.

It can be seen that Yincheng used the gimmick of Wayne vs. the No. 1 pick to make the biggest selling point of this game on the spot.

Wayne was also fully prepared before the game. In his rookie season, Howard played the power forward position.

In other words, Wayne will face him directly in this game.

Although Howard's skills are rough now, he sounds as if his skills will no longer be rough in the future.

Although his technique is rough, his physical fitness is indeed explosive!

If you take it lightly, you will definitely be dunked by Howard.

Wayne doesn't want to be the backdrop for the No. 1 pick, otherwise he won't be able to compete for Rookie of the Year.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Wei is a bit serious today." In the locker room, Tai started chatting with Payton beside him.

"Hehe, that top pick in high school should be careful to control his temper." Payton smiled evilly. Can he not be serious when he beats the top pick in the same class?

If it were me, I would be serious too.

Payton has already decided that if Wayne and Howard spray him later, he will immediately go to assist.

As a point guard, this is what he should do.

Wayne walked into the court with the determination to fight Howard. When the Pacers players came on the court, the Magic team wearing blue jerseys was already warming up.

Steve Francis, who was in the distance, turned to look at Wayne, all he could see was the figure of the Chinese giant.

At this time, Howard, Wayne's biggest opponent today, came over.

If Wayne faced Okafor today, he would definitely tell Wayne seriously: "I won't lose again. I'm talking about double-doubles. I won't lose again."

If Wayne was facing Rashid today, he would definitely warn Wayne: "Be careful, I have a boss guarding me today. If you want to fight, please fight him first."

However, as soon as Howard got close to Wayne, he showed his white teeth and smiled like a cartoon character.

"Wei, your block on Gasol in the last game was so exciting. I watched it five times! Hey, we should become teammates in the All-Star Rookie Game this year. Facing the 2003 generation, We have to perform well!

I know you are an excellent passer, don't forget to throw me a few alley-oops when the time comes. "

Howard shook hands with Wayne, then pulled Wayne into his arms and hugged him forcefully.

"Uh, okay, okay, definitely." Wayne was a little confused. This may be the least hostile opponent he has ever encountered since playing in the NBA.

Howard is really happy now.

"Then it's settled Wei, I should think about it in the next few days, what action should I use to smash the ball in after receiving your pass!"

Howard is so excited, he seems to have focused entirely on the rookie game.

What? You said there will be a real regular season game today?

It's so annoying, just finish it as soon as possible!

Seeing Howard's smile, Wayne's anger that he had been saving all day was released.

Then this game was easier than expected.

As soon as he came on the court, O'Neal Jr. scored a goal over Howard's head with a beautiful turning hook.

But Howard didn't show any regrets, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Subsequently, Grant Hill held the ball and prepared to attack, but at the moment of his breakthrough, he was accurately intercepted by Artest's "sticky mouse board" hands.

Hill, who played only 47 games in the first three seasons combined, returned from injury. He is no longer the invincible Hill who once flew into the sky and escaped from the earth.

He has lost the fastest step in the league and the most gorgeous breakthrough, and he does not have a hand that can support his three-point shooting as a fixed-point shooter, showing his old age.

After Artest stole the ball, he took advantage of the situation to break quickly, but Howard, who was chasing him, slapped the ball out of the baseline.

Artest felt a little sick at that time. Can you risk the best defensive player's fast break?

If Howard yelled at Artest fiercely at this time, Artest would definitely get up today.

But when Artai turned his head, he only saw a young man smiling happily.

"This" follows Ben and Wayne, and the third player who can make Artest recover from illness instantly appears.

Subsequently, Ou continued to make trouble in the low post, turning over and hitting Howard with a jumper.

Howard still looked indifferent, which was indeed a bit annoying.

No wonder O'Neal later commented on Howard: "If he wants to become more dominant, he should put away that clown-like smile."

Look at Brother Wei, will he laugh with you? They are all directly on the elbow.

Four minutes into the first quarter, Carlisle replaced the "Yincheng Double Spray".

As soon as Wayne came up, he passed Howard with a fake shot from the mid-range, and then broke through and dunked.

This goal directly ignited the fans at the scene. Wayne made clear arrangements for the No. 1 pick from the moment he came up.

Wayne turned his head and prepared to express hatred towards Howard, hoping to disturb the No. 1 pick's mentality.

but

Looking at that harmless face, Wayne really couldn't stop talking!

You are so happy!

He doesn't fight with you, doesn't fight with you, and even laughs at you. This kind of person makes you unable to find an entry point for you to criticize.

Switching to the Magic's offense, this time, Francis' three-point shot was blocked by Wu Sheng, and the iron was finally struck.

Boss Fu, everyone knows that there are three ghosts in one scene.

It is useless for anyone to come when God is here, and it is useless for anyone to come when there are ghosts. You can guard yourself.

Francis' shot selection this time was a bit of a headache for Hill.

But this is Boss Fu. If his actions are reasonable, why should he still be called the boss?

On the inside, Wayne was stuck in position, but the ball bounced a little far, so Howard showed his absolute advantage in athletic ability.

He jumped high and grabbed the rebound before Wayne.

"When will the horse egg bouncing ability be unlocked!" Wayne could only curse angrily in his heart at that time.

After taking the basketball, Wayne quickly raised his arms and stood between the monster and the basket. He was still thinking about how Howard would use this second attack.

result

Howard was trying to get in on Wayne directly!

Wayne:? ? ?

What kind of divine choice is this, the same style as Francis?

Then, Howard's second takeoff layup hit the neck of the basket.

Magic coach Johnny Davis' mouth twitched twice.

"Stay happy Johnny, stay happy." Finally, he had to suppress his anger.

Who makes No. 12 the future of the team? Even if he plays poorly, he must be given enough playing time.

Otherwise, it will be the coach who gets lost.

The combination of Howard and Francis almost made the elegant Hill scold her several times.

Little Tracy, how could you have the heart to leave these two guys alone and go away on my own, promising to move towards glory?

I just asked you to wait for me for three years. Is three years a long time? Is it very long?

Yeah, it does seem to be quite long.

Although Hill and Turkish forward Turkoglu worked hard, they still couldn't stand up to Howard and Francis' "I won't take action without interference" style of attack.

By the third minute of the fourth quarter, the game had basically lost its suspense.

But at this moment, a small accident happened.

When O'Neal Jr. was sitting in the paint and playing Magic center Kevin Cato, he accidentally sprained his ankle when he turned around and was limping at the time.

Tai rushed up to fight with Cato: "Why don't you try harder? No, how could you do this?"

Cato raised his arms: "He fell by himself."

"Don't lie to me. Am I easy to lie to? Do you think I'm just a simple-minded warrior?"

Cato:

"Tell me, how do you want to handle it? Should I call Wayne, or should I call Wayne. Call him here, you know the consequences."

"Ron, the replay came out. Jermaine really sprained himself." The referee reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, it's okay. Next time, please tell me earlier, okay?"

Cato is so innocent: "I said from the beginning that I didn't touch him."

Only then did Zitai let Cato go, and then he remembered that Xiao Ao was still lying on the ground.

Xiao Ao looked contemptuous. Even if you pretend to care about me, you are so fake.

Anyway, come and ask me about my situation first!

After confirming that he could no longer persist in the game, Ou walked to the player tunnel with the support of Wayne and Foster.

At first, Artest was standing next to Xiao Ao, but as soon as Xiao Ao was about to support him, he silently turned around and left.

Are you disappointed that I can still stand up?

"This is a heavy blow to the Pacers. I hope Jermaine is fine. He has been in hot form recently, and he only scored 55 points in a single game last week.

If he goes down, the Pacers' combat effectiveness will definitely drop significantly. "At the game, Steve Kerr said regretfully.

Although in this game with the Magic, there is basically no suspense with or without O'Neill.

But the next wave of consecutive battles in the West were equally difficult to fight.

What should the Pacers do without a captain?

After a small interlude, the game continued.

Relying on Francis' 7-for-24 shooting and Howard's 3-for-9 shooting performance, the Pacers received the warmth from the Magic 96-85 at home.

Howard had 12 points and 7 rebounds, shooting only 33% from the field.

Wayne scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, shooting 52% from the field, a clear decision!

However, the spark of losing was not as depressed as Okafor. He still greeted Wayne with a smile, and did not forget to remind him: "Don't forget about the rookie game."

Wayne now knows why Kobe and Howard can't get along.

The personalities of those two guys are really very different.

When you try your best to tear your opponent apart, you find that your teammates are smiling at others.

Fucked just thinking about it.

Although they won another victory, Pacers fans were not happy.

Xiao Ao knelt down, which was a bad sign.

Although it doesn't look serious, the Pacers, who are about to face the Wild West again, will undoubtedly have a very difficult fight.

At the same time, the results of the first round of NBA All-Star voting have finally been released.

Okafor couldn't wait to open the voting website and check it out.

Then he received a 10,000-point critical hit from Wayne in the air.
