I’m Really Playing Basketball

This year is the last season of Ko's career. Logically speaking, with Ko's status and popularity, in previous years, there was no problem in starting the All-Star game.

Even for Ko, the whole nation's national tour is okay.

But this season can only be said to be untimely for the boss.

Because the focus of national attention is not at all the national tour of Kobe's last season.

It's the Warriors' G3 national tour.

And because the Warriors gathered in G3 and brought in a bunch of NCAA fans, it's impossible for Kobe to compete with Luo Ge and Wade in terms of popularity and voting this season.

Therefore, Brother Ke had this realization before the All-Star voting ended.

After all, the number of votes is announced in every round of the All-Star voting.

He still trails Ron Howard and Wade by a lot of votes.

Therefore, he thought about not being selected as the starter.

What I didn't expect was that Chen Xiao actually gave him the starting job.

Of course, Boss Ke was very moved by this. He originally didn't want to accept it, but finally accepted it because of Chen Xiao's sincerity.

As Chen Xiao said: "Fifteen years ago, I gave Michael a starting spot. It was not Michael, but basketball. But this time, I still gave him basketball. Although I can't represent basketball, Bryant is very important to basketball." His contributions and guidance deserve all respect."

What Chen Xiao said during the interview went too far into the heart of the boss.

Compare him with Jordan, put him in the same position as Jordan, and even equate his contribution to basketball with Jordan.

This is recognition for him, the highest recognition, not charity.

Boss Ke is not a hypocritical person. After accepting Chen Xiao's assignment, he also thanked Chen Xiao very sincerely.

As time passes in February, NBA public opinion begins to focus crazily on this year’s All-Stars.

This year's New Orleans All-Star Game will indeed be very interesting to watch. Kobe's last All-Star, the All-Star farewell of the NBA's 40,000-point man, even with the G3 combination, cannot be ignored.

On the other side, of course, it is the first All-Star of G3 combined.

Therefore, the NBA media is now full of expectations from the media and fans for this year's All-Stars.

This year's All-Star Weekend is not here yet, there is still half a month left, but no one in the NBA can ignore that everyone's time has come to All-Star time.

This is especially true for the Warriors, who are the focus of public opinion.

After all, three of the Warriors have entered the All-Star starting lineup (Chen Xiao's position has been given to Kobe, and the substitute lineup has not yet been announced), and when the substitute lineup is announced, there is a high probability that Chen Xiao, Jokic, and Klay will also be in the lineup. of.

By then, the Warriors will have six All-Stars in one team, which will be quite like Diaw.

Therefore, many fans of other teams on the Internet are sighing at this time.

"Five years ago, when God came to the Warriors, who would have thought that five years later, the two worst teams in the NBA would actually be so strong!"

Then these people came to a conclusion, that is: "He who wins God, wins the world!"

Although Chen Xiao has long been recognized as the strongest cornerstone of the NBA team, when he is mentioned at this time, people still have to express such emotions.

In the history of the NBA, only the Bobcats led by Chen Xiao and the Warriors led by Chen Xiao now have accomplished the great feat of having six All-Star players in one team.

This was also confirmed when the All-Star bench lineup was announced on February 4th.

That is, the Warriors will indeed have six All-Stars this year.

This year's All-Star bench lineup in the Western Conference is Chen Xiao, Klay, and Jokic of the Warriors, Chris Paul and Stoudemire of the Clippers, and Leonard and Howard of the Spurs.

Counting the starters UAE and Kobe, all the players in this year's Western Conference All-Stars are taken by the top six teams in the Western Conference.

It's similar in the Eastern Conference, with leading players from the top teams making the All-Stars.

Nowadays, the league's All-Star selection attaches great importance to performance. As for data, it is not so important. After all, Westbrook can be said to be the player who averaged a triple-double per game and put it into the sewer. At the same time, he also improved the statistics of the weak teams in the NBA. Hit the sewer.

Let's put it this way, in today's NBA, if you can't lead your team to the playoffs, no matter how big a star you are, you can't even hope to make the All-Stars unless you rely on fans to vote for you.

Therefore, the gold content of the league's All-Stars is extremely high now.

On February 15, 2017, the Warriors returned to Oracle Center to face the Kings led by Ibaka after ending their three-game trip to the Western Conference. This was the Warriors' last regular season game before the All-Star Game this season.

The Kings' performance this season is actually quite good. After the team's star point guard Evans was seriously injured and ended the season, under the leadership of Ibaka and a group of not-so-good players, the current record is 24 wins and 32. Losing, although the winning rate is less than 50%, although it is in the West, it is really not easy.

Therefore, it turns out that Ibaka's choice to leave the Warriors is not considered a failure.

Although he lost the central stage of the league and lost so much attention after leaving the Warriors, even in this year's All-Star voting, as a power forward who averaged 20+9+4 per game, he did not get as many votes as when he was playing as a substitute for the Warriors. .

However, no matter what, from a role player to a successful team leader, Ibaka has also gained his own stage.

Yes, in the Warriors, this stage is indeed dazzling, but this stage belongs to Chen Xiao.

In the King, although the stage is dim, it belongs to him, and he is the protagonist of this stage.

In the Kings, the team's defenders are creating offensive opportunities for him. In the Kings, he can run around on the court without observing any defensive discipline and block shots whenever he wants.

Therefore, this season, he averaged a career-high scoring data of 20.5 points per game with the Kings, and also averaged a career-best blocking data of 4.1 blocks per game.

Although he did not enter the All-Star due to the team's record, he is still satisfied.

Although Ibaka left the NBA's main stage after leaving the Warriors, many people have forgotten that the Warriors once had such a player.

But as a Warriors fan, how could we forget Ibaka?

Ibaka played a major role in the Warriors' first championship.

When many people now rank the heroes of the Warriors' first championship, there is no dispute that Chen Xiao is ranked first, and there is no dispute that Klay is ranked second. That G6 was amazing, and that series was also amazing. .

After Clay, who ranked third, most people chose not thick eyebrows, not Bill, not Lopez, but Ibaka.

Ibaka hit all 12 shots against the Spurs, which can be said to have changed the history of that series. If Ibaka hadn't hit all 12 shots in that game, the Warriors would have been in front of the Spurs that season.

In the finals, Ibaka's performance was also outstanding.

Therefore, even if Ibaka left the Warriors for his own stage, Warriors fans are still full of gratitude to Ibaka.

So after Ibaka left, every time he came back, he would receive a warm welcome from Warriors fans, Warriors players, and coaches.

After all, this is the great hero who really accompanied Chen Xiao to develop the country.

Moreover, the substitute with thick eyebrows in the team also played very conscientiously and never caused any trouble. His contribution and dedication to the team are obvious to all.

Although before the game, the Warriors welcomed Ibaka's arrival, but during the game, it was completely different.

This game is the last game for the Warriors All-Stars and a back-to-back game back from the road.

Therefore, in this game, the Warriors simply rotated the three veterans Ron Howard, Wade and Carter.

Logically speaking, the Warriors' strength in this game is very average.

The Warriors without three important players are indeed not that strong.

However, although the players are not that strong, their fighting spirit is strong.

Especially thick eyebrows.

When he was with the Warriors, Ibaka was always the substitute for Big Eyebrow.

But after the 2015 Finals, many people said that Ibaka is more suitable to be a starter than thick eyebrows.

Although Ibaka left at that time, for Nongmei, Ibaka's contribution to the 15-year championship was greater than his, which he will always remember and be ashamed of.

People with thick eyebrows are not magnanimous people, and they are actually a bit small-minded.

Therefore, this matter has always been remembered.

Therefore, every time he meets Ibaka, his thick eyebrows will be beaten very fiercely.

This game is no exception.

Thick Eyebrow's career-high score of 50 points was achieved against the Kings last season.

In this game, Thick Eyebrow's performance was even more outstanding. He made 24 of 34 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws. He scored a crazy 60 points and 20 rebounds in the game!

To be honest, I never thought that my condition would be so good in this game.

No matter how you attack, although Ibaka's defense is very good, especially the assist defense, the overall defense of the Kings is actually not that strong. Basically, if the thick eyebrows run and his teammates block, it is an opportunity.

Then, the Warriors were crazy about feeding the thick eyebrows.

This makes Ibaka, a defensive strong point, somewhat powerful and useless.

The thick eyebrows who scored 60+20 in this game also became the fourth player in NBA history to score 60+20.

The last player to get this data was O'Neal.

The player who had this data before O'Neal was Baylor, and the next one after that would of course be Chamberlain.

To be honest, although the Kings are not a strong team, they are still very excited to be able to compare with these three fierce players in terms of statistics and get statistics like 60+20.

In fact, not only the thick eyebrows, but also the media across the United States were very excited.

The main reason is that the data produced by the players around Chen Xiao on the Warriors this season are really terrifying.

First came Clay's 97 points, which was 0.1 seconds away from 100 points.

Then there was Devin Booker's 72 points and a buzzer beater.

Now it's Thick Eyebrow's turn to record epic numbers of 60 points and 20 rebounds.

So much so that many media experts are speculating who the next Warriors player with explosive statistics will be.

This season, the three explosive statistics of Clay, Booker and Big Eyebrow have allowed everyone to see the power of 'Chen Yougongli'.

It also made everyone see the attraction around Chen Xiao.

There is a reason why so many young players want to play next to Chen Xiao.

As long as you have enough strength and potential, you will not be buried by Chen Xiao's side.

Even if there is no chance with Chen Xiao, there will be opportunities if you leave Chen Xiao and go elsewhere.

Of course, although many fans are now speculating who the next player for the Warriors to break out will be, it is obvious that such speculation needs to wait a little longer, because the All-Star Weekend is here.

After the game against the Kings, Chen Xiao took the players participating in this year's All-Star Weekend to New Orleans.

There are a lot of Warriors players participating in the All-Star Weekend this year.

It can even be described as an all-out effort.

Chen Xiao, Big Eyebrow, Wade, Luo Ge, Klay and Jokic are participating in the All-Star game.

Curry Jr. and Carter participated in the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest.

Devin Booker, Norman Powell, and Jaylen Brown participated in the Rookie Challenge.

Of the entire 13 Warriors players, only Matt Barnes and VanVleet did not participate in the All-Star weekend.

Although they did not participate in various programs during the All-Star Weekend, the two followed the team's troops to New Orleans.

After all, this All-Star Weekend can be regarded as a collective activity for the Warriors.

On the first day, all members of the Warriors went out to watch the Rookie Challenge. In the end, the US team defeated the World Team. Devin Booker scored 38 points in the game and won the final MVP.

In this game, Devin Booker, as the NBA's Mr. 72 points, undoubtedly became the core of the US team's outside offense in the game. As the core of the offense, he can be said to be full of firepower in the Rookie Challenge. The defensive intensity of the Rookie Challenge was almost a stage tailor-made for him. In the end, with the support of Chen Xiao and all his Warriors teammates, he won the MVP of the final Rookie Challenge.

The next day, the Warriors also made gains.

First, in the skills challenge, Warriors center Jokic defeated Porzingis and won the final championship.

Then in the three-point shooting contest, Curry Jr. and Eric Gordon fought until overtime. In the end, Curry Jr. defeated Gordon with 21 points and won the three-point shooting contest.

The next dunk contest is even more interesting.

Since the defending champion LaVine did not participate in this dunk contest, the biggest favorite was naturally Aaron Gordon. However, Aaron Gordon failed to complete the first two dunks in the first time. Although in the end, the referee showed mercy and allowed him to complete the dunks. But the two deductions only had 38 points and 34 points respectively, which was shocking.

Originally, this slam dunk contest was to pay tribute to Carter, and Carter himself participated for this reason. No one is sure whether this will be Carter's last All-Star, or his last season.

Therefore, this dunk contest is to bid farewell to Carter.

Carter accepted the NBA's kindness and came to participate in the slam dunk contest without actually thinking about winning the championship.

But Aaron Gordon's horse stumbled, and the opportunity fell in front of him.

After Aaron Gordon stumbled, the dunk contest referees on the sidelines began their own operations.

In the end, Carter made the last dunk, using three opportunities to replicate his classic slam dunk in the Slam Dunk Contest with his crotch hanging on the basket. Although he was no longer flying so high, his posture was still stretched and graceful.

In the end, with 10 points from all the judges and cheers from the fans in the audience, Carter once again scored 50 points for the second dunk, and finally won the final dunk contest championship with a perfect score of 100 points.

In this dunk contest, Carter dunked a total of 7 times.

But when Carter lifted the Slam Dunk Contest championship trophy with tears in his eyes, no one would say it was shady or not.

No one will say that Carter's two dunks were not good enough.

When everyone saw the white-cheeked Carter hanging up the basket again, what they saw was not just a dunker, but also feelings!

Everyone’s feelings for dunk!

So when Carter lifted the championship trophy, including Aaron Gordon, all the young people who participated in the dunk contest and had feelings for dunks gathered around Carter and applauded.

He is the youth of all those who like dunking!

The theme of this All-Star Weekend is youth.
