I’m Really Playing Basketball

Because Lopez's performance in the All-Star voting was extremely good, defeating Gasol, DeAndre Jordan and many other Western Conference centers, even if Howard, the center of the Eastern Magic Team, came to the West, Lopez Pace's starting advantage is huge.

Therefore, after the All-Star voting on January 1st, Lopez can almost be said to have guaranteed an All-Star starting position.

This has greatly stimulated other players on the Warriors, especially young players like Big Eyebrow, Clay, Bill, and Ibaka.

As long as they work hard and perform well beside Chen Xiao, they are not afraid that others will not see it.

This gave the Warriors, who were in poor form in December, a shot in the arm, sweeping away the rookie wall and psychological fatigue of these young people.

In the first two games of January, the Warriors won both games against the Clippers at home and away on January 2 and January 5.

Especially in this game on January 2nd, as the starting point guard of the Warriors, Beal made 12 of 17 shots, 7 of 9 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He was in extremely hot form and scored a career-high 12 points. 35 points.

In addition, Klay also hit 5 three-pointers in this game. The Warriors made a total of 19 three-pointers in the game. In the end, the Warriors defeated the team led by Xiaopao 125-104 at home. Clippers.

The two games between the Warriors and the Clippers are basically equivalent to a position battle between the second in the Western Conference and the first in the Pacific. The victory or defeat of these two games is extremely important to the two teams.

By winning these two games, it can basically be said that the Warriors, basically as expected, have secured first place in the Pacific Division, and at the same time, they have taken the lead and initiative in the battle for second place in the Western Conference. .

Because the Lakers are deeply involved in the Howard trade, the Timberwolves are too old, and the Mavericks have gradually become more and more incomplete. In the West this season, the team competing with the Warriors for second place has actually been the Clippers.

The Clippers' record this season is also very outstanding.

I have to say that in the years since I separated from Chen Xiao, the results of Xiao Pao's leadership have been really stable.

After defeating the Clippers at home and away, the Warriors' players maintained their form throughout the remainder of January's schedule, spurred by All-Star voting.

Finally, we achieved a good result of 9 wins and 6 losses throughout December.

Well, why is 9 wins and 6 losses a good result?

Because in the meantime, the Warriors had a wave of four consecutive visitors from the Eastern Conference. This time, the Eastern Conference hell was really hell.

You look at the times and opponents in these four games.

On January 25th, they played an away game against the Bucks, currently ranked first in the league.

On January 26, they played back-to-back games against the Bulls, currently fifth in the Eastern Conference.

On January 28th, they played away against the Cavaliers, who were second in the Eastern Conference.

On January 29, they played back-to-back away games against the Raptors, who were sixth in the Eastern Conference and led by Milicic, the second center in the NBA.

In these four games, let alone the Warriors, except for the Spurs, who are number one in the Western Conference, any Western Conference team has a high probability of total defeat. Even the Spurs, such a schedule is full of misfortune.

After these two games, on January 31st, the Warriors returned to their home court to play the Mavericks.

Of course, in the Mavericks game, the Warriors barely won 110-107.

If it weren't for the excitement of the All-Star vote, the Warriors would probably lose this game.

By the way, the Warriors' other two losses in January were against the Heat at home on January 16 and against the Spurs on the road on January 18.

It can be said that in these six games, the Warriors will definitely lose.

Therefore, when the Warriors were in poor condition in December, many experts predicted that the Warriors' record in January would collapse.

Because in January, in addition to these six unwinnable opponents, the Warriors will also play three games against the Clippers and one against the Mavericks.

According to the situation of the Warriors at the time, it was really possible for the Warriors to lose 10 times in a single month.

However, the final result was 9 wins and 6 losses, which was a result that exceeded expectations. At the same time, the Clippers won all three games this month, which firmly suppressed the Clippers.

This also allowed the Warriors to finish the game in January. Even if the record has become 30 wins and 16 losses, such a record that even needs to fight for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, but in the Western Conference, they still firmly occupy the second place in the Western Conference. s position.

I have to say that the competition in the West is indeed incomparable with that in the East.

In the Eastern Conference, the Warriors' young players have been in such a downturn for a month. The Warriors are at most competing for a spot in the playoffs. Want to be second in the Eastern Conference? dream!

Even the top six in the Eastern Conference is a dream.

If the Warriors are in the Eastern Conference this season, then Chen Xiao can consider the issue of the top eight in the playoffs.

Of course, if this warrior wants to hack the Bucks, that is just a dream.

Therefore, if you put this season's Warriors in the Eastern Conference, they will get a one-round trip at best.

It is precisely because of Chen Xiao that there is a round trip. Without Chen Xiao, there is not even a chance for a round trip.

Of course, the Warriors are not a team in the East, but a team in the West.

So now, they are still second in the Western Conference, and they are firmly second in the Western Conference.

This makes the audience who are accustomed to Chen Xiao's living environment like swords and swords and seas of fire and swords in the East quite uncomfortable looking at the warrior at this time.

“It’s so cool here in the West!”

The games in January are over, and voting for the NBA All-Star Game is also over.

Chen Xiao has won the All-Star vote for eleven consecutive years without any suspense, and this year Chen Xiao changed the new home team of the NBA. In addition, Chen Xiao has just led the Chinese team to complete seven consecutive championships and three consecutive Olympic championships, so whether it is Whether American fans or Chinese fans, voting enthusiasm for the All-Star election is very high.

Therefore, the number of votes Chen Xiao received in the All-Star voting also set a new record in the NBA.

Chen Xiao received an astonishing 14.5 million votes this year.

You know, this is still the reason why Chinese votes are heavily discounted.

It can only be said that compared with the historical NBA, the current NBA's influence in the United States and the world is even more amazing.

Except for Chen Xiao, the record-breaking vote leader, the other nine All-Stars started. On the Western side, the center is the Warriors center Lopez.

Lopez defeated Duncan, Gasol, DeAndre Jordan and many other strong players.

At the forward position, Chen Xiao and A Lian started together.

This season is the season after the Olympic Games. Chinese fans are extremely enthusiastic about voting, and the UAE's performance in the NBA and international competitions has been further recognized by fans in the United States and around the world. In this All-Star voting, he can defeat the UAE. Nate, Maizi, Griffin and other strong players still have a huge advantage.

As for the defender position, it is still Ke Lao and Ron Howard.

Although Xiaopao has always been very stable, it is always difficult for Xiaopao to compete with Kevin Kobe and Ron Howard in the selection of All-Star starters.

All I can say is that these two are too buggy, and I won’t mention it, Brother Luo. A bunch of black actresses like Luo Ge are canvassing for votes on Twitter. None of the stars here in the United States can beat them.

Let's put it this way, Luo Ge has always been the first person behind Chen Yao in the All-Star voting.

Luo Ge's ability to mobilize votes is too strong.

Even though he married Beyoncé, his vote mobilization power not only did not decrease, but also increased.

Because Rihanna and others are even more crazy. They are all female versions of Prime Minister Cao. If you get married, we will be even more happy.

By the way, for the Warriors, in addition to Chen Xiao and Lopez becoming the starters, Thick Eyebrow, Clay and Beal are all ranked high.

Thick Eyebrow is third, behind Lopez and Duncan.

Klay and Beal are the fifth and seventh guards respectively.

Also very forward.

For young players, being able to rank like this in the All-Star voting is, let's just say, the first time in their careers.

Don’t talk about the two rookies Bill and Big Eyebrow, let’s talk about Clay.

Many people say that Clay is very likely to be selected as a substitute this season.

After all, Clay's current team is second in the Western Conference. His own statistics this season are 18 points per game and 42% three-point shooting. Whether it is offense or defense, his performance is very impressive.

In addition, many people say that thick eyebrows also have a chance to be selected as an All-Star this season.

This has to be said about the flexible position of thick eyebrows.

If he is assigned to the forward position, it will be very difficult for him to become an All-Star.

But being assigned to the center position, he has a lot of opportunities.

He averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks per game. This data is actually enough to become an All-Star.

Based on the Warriors' current record, coupled with the almost full favorability of the thick eyebrows in front of the media and coaches, the rumors that he is likely to defeat Jordan and Gasol to enter the All-Star this season are not groundless.

After talking about the West, let’s talk about the East. This year’s All-Star starter in the East is center Yao Ming, forwards James and Durant, and guards Rose and Wade.

What's very interesting is that after Chen Xiao left the Bobcats this season, Wade actually took the starting position. If Chen Xiao was in the Bobcats, maybe Wade might not be able to defeat Roy...

Three days after the All-Star starters were announced, the league also announced the All-Star substitute lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences.

The seven stars in the East are Curry, Oden, Anthony, Roy, Milicic, Deron, and Beasley

The seven All-Star substitutes in the Eastern Conference are very regular. One player from the top four teams in the Eastern Conference, and then the leaders of the fifth, sixth and seventh teams in the Eastern Conference are also selected.

However, it is obvious that with the player background in the Eastern Conference, this seemingly extremely fair method will definitely miss many superstars, such as Carter and Stoudemire of the Knicks.

Who puts the Knicks at No. 8?

Who makes Beasley, the leader of the Pacers, the most popular player in the NBA now?

However, in comparison, the title of All-Star is more important to Beasley, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time.

After all, this is his fourth season in the NBA.

With Beasley's reputation in the NCAA and the twin stars of Rose and the NCAA shining brightly, his growth has lagged far behind Rose.

Rose is now the fourth-ranked player on the NBA's official MVP list, second only to Xiao Du, Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao, and is the leader of the powerful Bobcats in the Eastern Conference.

Rose has now completed the NBA dynasty and has also become an MVP-level super giant. It can be compared to Kobe Bryant during the period when he and O'Neal parted ways.

Let's put it this way, this season, Rose is the league's No. 1 point guard.

Just like after parting ways with O'Neal, Kobe became the No. 1 shooting guard in the NBA.

As for whether he is recognized or not, his personal strength and status have been greatly improved, because he has proved that he can become a qualified leader of a big team.

To be honest, Beasley and Rose are indeed far behind now.

There was a gap between the two's athletic talents after they came to the NBA. Of course, Beasley is now improving step by step under the careful guidance of Larry Bird.

Compared to their former rival Mayo...

Beasley's development has been very, very good.

As Beasley's eldest brother and half of Beasley's teacher, Chen Xiao called and congratulated Beasley as soon as he was selected as an All-Star, and also congratulated him on his social media.

Chen Xiao is quite happy about Beasley being selected as an All-Star.

Compared with the Eastern Conference, where superstars have to compete for a spot as an All-Star substitute, and even superstars may fail in the competition, here in the Western Conference, it is indeed much easier.

This year's Western Conference All-Star substitutes are Duncan, Wheat, Klay, Big Eyebrow, Cannon, Garnett, and Nowitzki.

The first and second players in the Western Conference were selected, and then the third, fourth and fifth players in the Western Conference were selected.

The more controversial ones were the Lakers' star players, Gasol and Joe Johnson, who ultimately lost the draft.

However, who told you that the Lakers are in bad shape now?

Although the records of the Lakers, Timberwolves, Clippers, and Mavericks are not much different, once the team stabilizes, the Lakers, who are second in the Western Conference in terms of hard power, will catch up very quickly. However, if you are now sixth in the Western Conference, then you are sixth in the Western Conference. .

The sixth-largest player in the Western Conference is already the starter. Why should the second-largest and third-largest players defeat the third-, fourth-, and fifth-largest players in the Western Conference?

Of course, there is another big controversy in the Western Conference this time. The Jazz's second-in-command, Jordan's son, Chen Xiao's apprentice, DeAndre Jordan, known as Little Stockton, was not selected for the All-Stars in the end. , which disappointed many people.

This season, the Jazz are currently seventh in the Western Conference. Their record is not bad. Jordan's statistics are also good. He averages 14.5 points, 10.5 assists and 2 steals per game. His shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are also 45% and 45% respectively. 40%.

It can be said that Jordan is now an excellent traditional point guard with a very high basketball IQ. In addition to his physical talent, he can attack and defend, and can also play key balls.

And this season, he did have the best season of his career.

The team is a playoff team, and his and Yi Jianlian's "Black and White 2.0" is slowly gaining recognition.

In addition, he is Jordan's son. Even if it is for gimmicks, it would be better for him and Yi Jianlian to be selected together than to be selected with thick eyebrows.

However, the Jazz's record is indeed a bit worse.

And more importantly, in terms of popularity, the identity of Jordan's son may not be a plus, but a minus...

Therefore, after the All-Star substitutes came out, Boss Qiao directly complained on his social media.

"Some people who are envious, jealous and hate me want me to die!"

"I know you hate me, but Jeffrey is innocent. As Jordan's son, Jeffrey can conquer Utah, why can't he conquer you guys!"

A series of N tweets showed the anger of an old father.
