NBA: I really just want to make money
Chapter 119
After the game against the Grizzlies, the Lakers got a day of rest. After that, they were still at home and faced the challenge of the Jazz with Carlos Boozer returning..
I thought it would be a fierce battle, but being injured for a long time made Carlos Boozer's physical and competitive condition unable to be guaranteed. In order to protect his core body and not put too much pressure on it, Jerry Boozer Sloan didn't give Boozer much playing time.
Boozer, who only played 14 minutes, made 2 of 4 shots from the field and had 43 rebounds, assists, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.
It's obvious that he hasn't found his offensive feel yet.
As for defense......Even though this guy is six feet nine inches tall, which is 2.06 meters tall, and weighs 117 kilograms, his defensive ability can only be regarded as average. It’s not that he can’t defend, but he doesn’t want to defend and lacks the ability to actively defend. Willingness and passion.
The core has not fully recovered, and the Jazz still have to rely more on Okur and Kirilenko.
The two scored 28 points together in this game, which is the same as Chen Hao's score, which is enough to explain a certain problem.
However, Devin Brown, who has performed well in the Jazz recently and has repeatedly scored high points, was guarded by Chen Hao and only scored 5 points, unable to provide much support for the team.
Deron Williams, who had some minor grievances before, came on as a substitute again in this game. He had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 turnovers and 4 rules, indicating that he still has a long way to go.
At least there is no chance of an explosion this season.
For the Lakers, except for Chen Hao who scored a game-high 28 points, Kobe Bryant's state in this game was relatively average. In addition, the team was in a leading position from the beginning, and their offensive desire was also average. He took 16 shots and scored 25 points.
Odom scored 17 points, Smush Parker had 13 points, Brian Cook and Devin George each scored 12 points.
Six players scored in double figures, and the Lakers defeated the Jazz at home.
And just after the game ended, the results of the All-Star voting were announced, the selection of substitute players, and the candidates for the Eastern and Western coaches were also determined.
The starting five in the West...
Center: Dayao (Rockets)
Power forward: Tim Duncan (Spurs)
Small forward: Tracy McGrady (Rockets)
Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant (Lakers)
Point guard: Chen Hao (Lakers)
Substitutes: Shawn Marion, Steve Nash, Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Kevin Garnett, Tony Parker!
Head Coach: Phil Jackson!
The Lakers and Rockets became the biggest winners. Both players had two players selected in the starting lineup, and the remaining spot was won by Duncan, which is well-deserved.
Of course, because the head coach is a Zen master, as players from the Lakers, Kobe and Chen Hao will definitely receive some preferential treatment. At least they will have more playing time than other players within their ability.
Therefore, Kobe and Chen Hao, especially the former, are regarded as the most powerful contenders for this All-Star MVP!
Turning our attention to the East, the starting five are as follows...
Center: Shaquille O'Neal (Heat)
Power Forward: LeBron James (Cavaliers)
Small Forward: Vince Carter (Nets)
Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade (Heat)
Point Guard : Allen Iverson (76ers)
Subs: Billups, Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce, Gilbert Arenas!
Head Coach: Flip Saunders!
In terms of staffing in the starting lineup, the Heat are undoubtedly the biggest winner in the Eastern Conference, but because their record ranks first in the Eastern Conference, the head coach of the Pistons was awarded the head coach of the Eastern All-Star Team, and four of the five starting five players in the team were selected. He became an All-Star and was in the limelight for a short time!
But there are also discordant voices. The four selected by the Pistons all believe that the little prince in their team, Prince, also has the qualifications and strength to enter the All-Stars.
But in a single round, Prince only averaged 14.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Even though the team's record was very good, his personal performance was a little behind, and he was still a bit different from Paul Pierce. gap.
Although the latter team's record is poor, as the core player of the Celtics, its attention is not low. This season, it averaged 2.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 offense, and 1.5 steals per game..
In contrast, in addition to his outstanding performance, Prince is really looking for other winning points. It is reasonable for him not to be selected as an All-Star. The protests of Ben and others can be attributed to the love of his teammates.
At this point, the appearance of the Eastern and Western All-Stars has been completely determined.
Looking at the names on the list that are famous in the league, the fans and spectators started talking about each other with the mentality of those who eat melons.......
"Based on the grudge between O'Neal and Kobe, the two met on the court this time in the All-Star Game, and they faced off as opponents. I feel that this All-Star Game will be very intense. The latter needs to pay more if he wants to win the MVP. strength"
"Don't underestimate Allen's competitiveness. Every time he will play the All-Star Game as if it were the playoffs. With him on the team, the Eastern Conference's desire to win can be guaranteed this time."
"Judging from the lineup alone, it is obvious that the Western Conference is more balanced. The two big insiders, Dayao and Tim, are in charge. Even O'Neal cannot be one against two, right?"
"Don’t you take my emperor seriously?"
"I don’t think that with James’ inside skills, he can achieve anything under the defense of Dayao and Duncan."
"James is just a forward, he is essentially a point guard, believe it or not?"
"Forehead...��Something wrong!
"....."
At this time, the most excited people are undoubtedly the Chinese fans. There are two Chinese players in the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup. It's really great! And it is an unprecedented situation.
The key is that Yao is still the vote king!
Chen Hao's side did not canvass votes in the country as soon as Yao's team did, resulting in not much increase in votes in the early stage. Only in the mid-term did they catch up with the fans' spontaneous organizational will......
In the last three days, qualified Chinese fans not only voted by themselves, but also mobilized their relatives and friends to vote.
China's huge fan group and interpersonal network showed its power at this moment. In a short period of time, Chen Hao's votes caught up. Not only did he surpass Nash, he was also far away from Kobe Bryant, who was second in the Western Conference and second in overall votes. Not very far away.
It doesn’t even take a week. In three days, Chen Hao and Dayao will be ranked in the top two in the vote.
"It's a pity that Hao Ge's canvassing for votes was too late."
Many fans think this way.
But on second thought, it is gratifying enough that China can have two players become All-Star starters.
And this is not just a personal victory for Chen Hao and Dayao, It is a victory for the Chinese fans!
They all played a role in it.
At this moment, the Chinese fans made the whole world deeply feel their terrifying mobilization ability.
Of course, there will definitely be some people who cannot stand such behavior, and may even Because of this, I feel unbalanced.
In contrast, those stars who have been famous in the league for a long time cherish feathers. In addition, Chen Hao and Dayao are extremely capable, so they are well-deserved to be selected as All-Stars. , but the situation of being the top vote-getter and starting player makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
It can be said that Dayao deserves to be the starting center in the Western Conference. After all, after the Sharks and O'Neal traveled east, there is really no center in the entire Western Conference. Can compete with him.
But the vote leader is still too exaggerated, and many stars are dissatisfied.
As for Chen Hao, he entered the league through a non-draft method and became an All-Star starter as a first-year rookie. The victory was still A player as popular and powerful as Steve Nash will naturally arouse dissatisfaction from many people.
Among them, Suns supporters and players, as well as Canadian fans and audiences, reacted particularly fiercely.
After all, they is the biggest"victim". Nash's starting position is gone, which is really upsetting.
However, Nash, as the person involved, showed his magnanimity and directly expressed his acceptance of this result in public, and made a big show of it. Chen Hao was praised for his performance this season, calling him a historical point guard rookie! The demeanor and magnanimity he displayed were admirable.
As for the other stars, they could only say a few sour words in private. They won't say anything in public.
But those young rookies who are arrogant, feel that their talents are amazing, and are superior to others will not think so much, just like the Magic's���Backup point guard Jamal Nelson directly questioned the fairness of fans' voting to select the All-Star starting five in public.
I believe that some players do not have the strength to become a starter, and have achieved honors that should not belong to them!
Although they didn't name them, everyone knew very well that they were talking about Chen Hao and Dayao.
Chen Hao, who learned about this situation from reporters, did not respond, but in his heart he secretly sentenced Jamal Nelson to"death""
"That guy seems to be on the second-year team. They happen to be facing each other in the Rookie Challenge, or directly facing each other. Since you have said so, let me let you know what it means to speak out."Chen Hao's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
This caused Bynum and the others around him to unconsciously take a few steps away for fear of being affected.
In the game against the Eagles that night, Chen Hao used his own His actual performance told everyone whether he was worthy of becoming an All-Star starter.
As the last regular season game before the All-Star weekend, all members of the Lakers did not relax at all, carrying the high morale of three consecutive victories, and the upcoming Entering the good mood of the All-Star Weekend carnival, he launched a frantic attack at the beginning.
Kobe made 9 shots in the first quarter and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 16 points. Odom has begun to recover recently, scoring 7 points in a single quarter. Ryan Cook also scored 6 points. The three of them contributed 7 assists to Chen Hao, and he himself scored 4.
The Lakers scored 33 points in a single quarter, but failed to widen the point difference because the Eagles , Josh Smith and Joe Johnson performed well, and Marvin Williams, who came off the bench, showed good scoring ability. He scored 30 points in a single quarter, only 3 points behind the Lakers.
The second quarter of the game , Chen Hao led the team to launch a fierce attack. He continuously broke through the opponent and assisted his teammates to score, scoring 6 points and 3 assists. It only took less than a quarter and a half to score a double-double.
With the main players such as Kobe Bryant After playing, Chen Hao was able to shift more of his attention to the defensive end. He directly prevented the Eagles point guard who was facing him from catching the ball. He made three turnovers in a short period of time, even though he was later sent two tall players. Mi 03's swingman Josh Childress faced off against Chen Hao, but the effect was still not good.
On the contrary, because his center of gravity was too high, Chen Hao repeatedly succeeded and was defended against him. Mistakes were made one after another.
Seeing Chen Hao, who played a completely different style on the court than before, was not afraid of confrontation at all, and even took the initiative to seek physical confrontation, all the fans in the Staples Center were dumbfounded.
This was still their impression. Is that Chen Hao?
Could it be that he was stimulated by something?
Thinking of this, Lakers fans began to thank Jamal Nelson. It was because of his remarks that they were able to see such a powerful Chen Hao.
Of course. , this thank you is in quotation marks.
Under Chen Hao's active performance, the Lakers have always firmly controlled the initiative on the court. In the third quarter, they directly opened up the point difference and finally defeated the Eagles by a big score. The team has won four consecutive games. At the same time, it also completed the last game before the All-Star Game.
Chen Hao scored a triple-double of 21 points, 12 assists, 10 steals and 3 rebounds. His performance was extremely eye-catching!
Currently, the Lakers have an amazing performance With a record of 47 wins and 5 losses, it ranks first in the Western Conference and first in the league. No one can shake it!
Whether it is the management, the players themselves, or the Lakers fans and audiences, they are all very excited about this.
So Under the atmosphere, Chen Hao and Kobe took their respective families and boarded a plane to Houston, preparing to participate in the All-Star Weekend held there......._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-Collection
