I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the 2009 NBA All-Star Game, only Chen Xiao was selected. However, after playing the Wizards, Chen Xiao went to Phoenix with Rose, Lopez, Daniel Gibson and others.

Rose and Lopez will participate in the Rookie Challenge, while Gibson will participate in the three-point contest.

It can also be seen from the Bobcats' roster for the All-Star Weekend that after several core players from the Bobcats' last championship, such as Chris Paul, Randolph and Bynum, left, the Bobcats' stars seemed to be dimmed.

Although Granger, Roy, Aldridge, Rose and others also have good abilities, they still cannot enter the All-Star camp compared with their competitors in the East.

For example, Granger and Aldridge's competitors for the forward position are James, Durant, Carter, Bosh and others. Not to mention the two, even Wheat and O'Neal were not selected for the All-Star this time.

And Rose has more competitors for the guard position. Wade, Chen Xiao, Ray Allen, not to mention these three MVP players in their playing years, Iver, the still very powerful and popular MVP player Sen has not been selected for the All-Star Game this year.

It has to be said that although Duncan, Ginobili, Parker and other stars have gone to the West this season, the competition for the Eastern All-Stars is still extremely fierce.

And this also shows how lucky Milicic is to replace Bynum and become an All-Star.

You know, he defeated Howard of the Magic and Oden of the Cavaliers, especially Howard of the Magic.

Howard beat O'Neal to become an All-Star starter in the Western Conference.

When we got to the Eastern Conference, we couldn’t even make the bench.

The starter couldn't compete with Yao Ming, and the substitute was beaten by Bynum again. Bynum was injured, and the opportunity appeared again, but who would have thought that Milicic actually stepped on Bynum to take the position, and he was still ignored.

It can only be said that the impact of the 2008 Olympics continues, and the bad impression caused by being beaten by Yao Ming in the two finals continues.

In the NBA, Howard has been looked down upon or looked down upon by many professionals because of his technical style.

Howard, who was selected among the top 75 NBA stars in history, suffered a lot in this regard. He obviously had a lot of honors, but he was always ignored.

Not talking about these professionals, even fans, you dare to say that you are not "I know Howard is very strong, but I don't know whether Howard is better than others." '

Howard's technical style makes him face other historical All-Star insiders, and he always feels that no matter how strong he is, he cannot suppress his opponents and is not dominant enough.

How to put this sentence? To put it simply, you Howard has been selected into the 75th major, so why don't Yao Ming, who can torture you to death, also get in? If Yao Ming doesn't get in, but you get in, isn't it bad?

It can only be said that even though Howard has served as the first center, he is still a player whose personal strength may be weaker than the second center. This is a point that experts who value strength attach great importance to, strength.

Historical superstars only need to show off their status as MVP, FMVP and other major honors.

But for those superstars who don’t have MVP or FMVP, how do they rank?

For those experts, small honors such as first team, best defensive player, etc. are important, but they are not that important. The balance of strength is also important.

Of course there is also data accumulation.

Howard's small honors and data accumulation are enough, but he lacks the impression points of strength and dominance. It makes people think that his honors and data are just luck. He was born in a good era, and his strength is not worthy of those honors and data. .

Therefore, Howard has been at a disadvantage in this regard.

Even many NBA players think this is prejudice.

But no matter what, Milicic relied on his sudden rise in strength to be selected as an All-Star over Howard, which is what everyone expected.

Milicic has been an All-Star player in recent years. He has played in the NBA for six years, and his strength and qualifications are there. Taking advantage of Bynum's abuse, it is time for him to be selected.

And Milicic himself is also very ambitious. After defeating Bynum, he performed very well in every game. It gives people the feeling that he has indeed secured his position as a superstar and is heading towards super giant strength.

It's easy to secure the super giant position. If you are even 50-50 with Yao Ming, you can secure this position.

According to Nelson: "The future is bright, but everything is still on the road for him."

It is not easy for anyone to beat Yao Ming, a center who is considered a bug in NBA history, even Olajuwon, O'Neal or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The protagonist of this All-Star Weekend in Phoenix is ​​O'Neal. O'Neal once again became an All-Star and staged the return of the king at his home court.

Therefore, everywhere you pass on the streets of Phoenix, there are posters of O'Neal and Stoudemire.

As the "Jazz Jordan" of Phoenix, Chen Xiao led the Cavaliers to win the championship over the Suns. It is definitely impossible for Chen Xiao to get the leading role in Phoenix this time.

Maybe he can be the protagonist in the game, but elsewhere, wherever Chen Xiao goes, there are a lot of boos, and of course there is applause.

A star like Chen Xiao, who is the first player in the league, can get applause wherever he goes.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's visit to Phoenix this time was quite low-key.

Because Chen Xiao's good brother, Luo Ge, is also Phoenix's mortal enemy, not to mention Chen Xiao's good friend Kobe. Kobe and Suns O'Neal have been in love and killing each other in the playoffs for I don't know how many years.

In last year's playoffs, O'Neal and the Suns went all out in the Western Conference semifinals, which greatly consumed Kobe and the Lakers. Even if Kobe and the Lakers entered the Western Conference Finals, they were defeated by the Spurs due to lack of physical strength.

Therefore, Chen Xiao and his small group used to be very dazzling in the All-Star Game, and they could be seen everywhere.

But this time in Phoenix City, Chen Xiao and the others were very low-key.

No wandering around except on necessary occasions.

After all, you still have to have a sense of awe. You can't underestimate the Phoenix fans, and you can't be too disrespectful to these fans.

On Friday, February 13, 2009, Chen Xiao, Luo Ge, Wade, Yao Ming, Kobe and other talented players gathered publicly for the first time at the Rookie Challenge.

Chen Xiao came here to cheer for her two little brothers Ross and Big Lopez.

As a first-year leader, Rose's performance for the Bobcats this season has been outstanding. Although the most outstanding players in the Bobcats' first 32 games were Chen Xiao and Bynum, Bynum's rise overshadowed Rose and Granger. Waiting for many Bobcat players to shine.

Although there are few reports, Rose's data and performance in the NBA are not bad at all.

This No. 1 pick, who focuses on organization, passing and defense in the Bobcats, and silently practices outside shooting, has averaged 14.5 points and 7.5 assists per game so far this season. Compared with his history with the Bulls, he is not as explosive. Because his breakthroughs in the Bobcats are reduced, there are reasons why the Bobcats don't need it, and there are also reasons why he wants to transition.

After getting the invincible shortcut from Chen Xiao, Rose has consciously strengthened his outside shooting. Although his three-point shooting rate so far this season is 1.1 in 4 attempts per game, which is less than 30%. hit rate.

However, although Rose's data is not as good as his historical data in the Bulls, his strength is stronger than when he was in the Bulls.

Under Chen Xiao's guidance, Rose, who was already very good at handling the ball, became even better. His better ball control coupled with his physical talent and speed talent, he is simply invincible.

When Rose made a violent breakthrough, not many people in the entire NBA could stop him one-on-one.

This is hard power, and Rose's hard power can be said to be blind.

Therefore, even if Rose's statistics are not that impressive, he still beat the Knicks' Westbrook and others to win all the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month titles this season.

It is precisely because of this that many people are looking forward to Rose taking the 2008 Golden Generation rookie to play the 2007 Platinum Generation second-year player.

I'm especially looking forward to the showdown between Rose and Durant.

Ross himself is also looking forward to it.

However, it is obvious that even if Rose is better now than in history, facing Durant, who is now the favorite for MVP, Rose was still outclassed in this game.

It's not that Rose is not strong, but that Durant is too strong. Letting Durant play in the rookie game is just like Chen Xiao back then. It makes other rookies in the rookie game feel that they have failed too much and need to be recycled. defective products.

In this game, Durant played 31 minutes and made 17 of 25 shots, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored a game-high 46 points, plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists. This night, Durant scored a game-high 46 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Rand is not only powerful, but also feels quite good.

Strongly led the second grade team to defeat the first grade team 136 to 120, and was crowned the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

As for Chen Xiao's younger brother Ross, he scored 29 points in this game, and his performance was the best in the first grade, and even the best in the entire field except Durant.

By the way, the assistant coaches of the two rookie teams in this game are Wade and Arenas.

Chen Xiao's two good friends were walking around the sidelines in suits in this game, directing their teams in a very professional manner, completely ignoring the team's head coach. It seemed that they were the ones doing this. The head coach of the game was very in tune.

And when the second-year team finally won, as a second-year assistant coach, Wade was also very happy to be in the drama.

The rookie challenge on February 13 was a bit sad for Rose and Lopez.

Lopez didn't get too many opportunities to play, and Rose watched Durant dazzle in all directions.

But on Saturday, February 14, Rose ushered in his first highlight of the All-Star Weekend.

In the first skill challenge, Rose defeated Devon Harris in the final and won the championship with a time of 35.3 seconds.

Although the results were not great, the result was good, so Rose was still very excited after the game. He had always been a little paralyzed and aloof, and the smile on his face seemed like a blooming rose.

In addition to Rose, Bobcats player Daniel Gibson also performed very well in this year's three-point contest, defeating the Bucks' Durant and Curry, the Raptors' Lewis, and the Spurs' Ginobili. , the Suns’ Big Q Richardson won the championship.

The biggest favorites in this three-point contest were originally Curry and Durant, but what is very funny is that Durant scored 6 points in the preliminaries and Curry scored 9 points in the preliminaries. These two Bucks teammates , Tonight the touch was so bad that the basket was bent.

Rashard Lewis, the third favorite in the finals, scored 7 points, not much better than Curry and Durant.

Therefore, Gibson's victory this time even seems quite easy.

I scored 16 points in the preliminaries and 19 points in the finals. In fact, they were both stable performances without any outbursts.

This year's All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest was very impressive. In fact, the results of the Skills Challenge were also very impressive. The winner, Rose, was just over 35 seconds.

And Saturday's finale, the Dunk Contest, still didn't escape the nightmare of stretched hips.

This dunk contest can almost be described as an awkward performance between Howard and Nate Robinson dunking on each other.

After Chen Xiao participated in the dunk contest before and performed various difficult dunk tricks, the audience hoped that the players would win based on their strength and difficulty.

Rather than dancing with each other like Nate Robinson and Howard, you are Superman and I am Kryptonian.

So in the end, when characters like Howard and Nate Robinson performed awkward dances, there were even bursts of boos.

This is of course the reason why the dunks of two people are so poor compared to the previous generation's Chen Xiao, and it is also because these two people are the mortal enemies of Suns fans.

Howard is a Magic player now, but he was a Spurs player in front of him, taking O'Neal's place as the starting center.

And Nate Robinson is a player of the Lakers. The Lakers and the Suns have fallen in love and killed each other so many times over the years, and the grievances between the players on both sides are getting bigger and bigger.

Such a great opportunity, if you don't boo who would you boo?

In the end, after an awkward dance, Nate Robinson raised the championship trophy with an awkward rather than polite smile amid the boos of the fans.

The skills competition on the second day of the All-Star Weekend should be one of the most exciting performances of the All-Star Weekend. However, the performance was so hip that the audience at the scene and the audiences in front of the TV sets around the world were very disappointed.

Despite the disappointment, everyone has also set their sights on the All-Star Game on February 15th.

To be honest, the current audience is really fed up with the wonderful NBA regular season and playoffs, and they really don't like the gimmick performances of Nate Robinson and Howard.

The gimmick is fine, but such a fake performance is really meaningless.

However, these expectant audiences were disappointed, because the All-Star Game on February 15 was still a gimmick performance.

Because O'Neal doesn't know if he will have a chance to become an All-Star in the future.

This All-Star Game may well be O'Neal's last one.

No matter it's the alliance's intention, O'Neal's intention or Ke Lao's intention.

In short, in this All-Star game, Kevin and O'Neal performed a warm-looking "General and Harmony".

The two big guys, Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Kobe, are going to fight each other, so the All-Stars in the Western Conference have to work hard, right?

Especially the All-Stars of the Lakers and Suns. In this game, Kevin O'Neal, O'Neal, Stoudemire, Gasol and others played very hard.

The Eastern side also fought hard for half of the first half. The two teams played 67 to 72, which was evenly divided. But in the second half, the Western side was still fighting hard, and the Eastern side had nothing to do. The Eastern Conference playoffs The competition is so fierce, who is willing to compete with these "salted fish all-stars" in the West?

The All-Star bosses in the Western Conference don't have as miserable an environment as the Eastern Conference in the regular season, so they just want to hold back and fight for the All-Star Game.

Of course, the Eastern side didn't show their support, so in the second half, the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference 74-52. In the end, the Western All-Stars defeated the Eastern All-Stars 146-119.

As Kobe, who scored 27 points on 12-of-23 shooting, and O'Neal, who scored 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting, shared the MVP result in this game, the Suns fans at the scene were happy.

The biggest winner of this All-Star Weekend belongs to them.

But on the Internet, whether it is the American Internet or the Chinese Internet, there is really a lot of criticism of this All-Star Game.

"Congratulations to the NBA, congratulations to Phoenix, they gave us the most boring NBA All-Star Weekend in history!"

Well, Barkley said this at the scene, in front of O'Neal who was holding the MVP trophy.

After Barkley finished speaking, Ao Pang's expression was so wonderful, haha...
