The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 253 [Broken record is a bit hanging]

最终，西部明星队144比138击败了东部明星队，叶锋出战31分钟，4投4中，罚球2中2，拿下10分15篮板10次助攻3抢断2盖帽。

As soon as he got a triple-double, Thibodeau immediately replaced Ye Feng and Kobe, leaving Nowitzki on the court and giving him time and opportunity to compete for the MVP.

With the help of his teammates, Nowitzki played the fourth quarter, 22 of 13 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, surpassing Kobe's 31. Points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.He should also thank Nash, who only scored 4 points and sent a game-high 14 assists this time.

After the game, Nowitzki was indeed elected as the All-Star MVP and left the trophy in Dallas.Nowitzki has appeared in the All-Star game for many years in a row, but it was not until this year that he tasted the taste of MVP for the first time.

东部表现最好的是韦德28分6篮板11助攻5抢断；波什23分10篮板2助攻3抢断；勒布朗25分9篮板8助攻4抢断。不过输球了，数据再漂亮也拿不了MVP。

With Kidd poached, it would be difficult for Nowitzki to win the championship with the Mavericks. Ye Feng felt that it was right to help him win the MVP.Ye Feng was not without success, he was the second player after Michael Jordan to get a triple-double in the All-Star Game.In the 1997 All-Star Game, Michael Jordan had a triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.Coincidentally, Jordan, who got a triple-double that year, didn't get the MVP either. The MVP was the little-known Jaylen Rice.

Lots of reviews online.There are praises and criticisms.

Some people said: Ye Feng selflessly helped Nowitzki win the MVP, and he also put up beautiful statistics.

Someone said: The insidious Thibodeau deliberately kept Kobe from playing in the fourth quarter, allowing Nowitzki to grab the MVP, which affected Kobe to surpass Jordan.

There are also people who maintain a neutral attitude, claiming to never hack anyone.Said: Why grab the MVP, if you have the guts, you can grab it.If there is a fan who can grab the MVP, it must be the strongest fan in history.

In short, the All-Star Game is over, and it is recognized as a relatively exciting All-Star Weekend.

On the 17th, the Clippers won again against the Blazers, who had no insiders. On the 18th, they lost back-to-back upsets to the Utah Jazz.The players who were on vacation during the All-Star weekend relaxed too much and failed to get back to their form in time, ending the winning streak.

The trade deadline is approaching. During this period, many teams have made trades to strengthen the lineup.

On February 2, the Washington Wizards and the Dallas Mavericks completed a blockbuster deal involving 14 players. The Mavericks sent Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, James Singleton and Quinton Rose to the To the Wizards, get the Wizards' Caron Butler, Brandon Haywood, Deshaun Stevenson.
On February 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Washington Wizards and Memphis completed a three-way deal involving 18 players. The Cavaliers got Antawn Jamison (Wizards) and Sebastian Telfair (Grizzlies) , Grizzlies get Drew Gooden (Wizards), Wizards get Ilgauskas, Emil Pledjic (Cavaliers), Al Thornton (Grizzlies) and a future first-round pick Right (knight).
The sending of Butler and Jamison also means that the Wizards are ready to rebuild, and they have taken a fancy to Al Thornton's future.The introduction of "Big Z" is to clear the salary space. Without Arenas this season, the Wizards have been unable to get any closer to the playoffs, so they simply gave up ahead of time.

After the Cavaliers got Jamison, their inside strength also improved.In fact, there is no essential change. Jamison is an offensive player and cannot improve the weak inside defense of the Cavaliers.

The only advantage of the Grizzlies is that they have strengthened the inside line. With a tough center, Gooden has rich experience and a mid-range shot.

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago Bulls completed a 2-for-1 trade. The Bucks sent Joe Alexander and Hakeem Warrick to Chicago for John Salmons of the Bulls.
On February 2, the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks completed a deal involving five players. The Knicks sent dunk king Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry to Boston and got green jerseys Army's Eddie House, Bill Walker and JR Giddens are three role players.

The Chicago Bulls and the Charlotte Bobcats completed a 1-for-2 deal. The Bulls sent Terrence Thomas to the Bobcats for Philip Murray and Asie Law.

The Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies completed a small trade in which the Jazz sent Ronnie Brewer to Memphis for a protected first-round pick from the Grizzlies.The Grizzlies have significantly improved their strength through transactions.

At the last moment, the biggest deal came.The Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks completed a three-way blockbuster deal involving 9 players. The Rockets got Kevin Martin (Kings), Hilton Armstrong (Kings), Jared Jeffries (Knicks) ), Jonny Flynn (Knicks), and protected first-round picks in 2011 and 2012 (Knicks), the Kings got Carl Landry (Rockets), Joey Dorsey (Rockets) and Hughes (Knicks), Knicks get McGrady (Rockets) and Sergio Rodriguez (Kings).

The Rockets finally got rid of Tracy McGrady's first high salary, in exchange for a good scorer Martin, a potential rookie Flynn, and strengthened the fragile guard line. In fact, Flynn has not much potential to speak of. only willing to trade.If Curry is selected, it is estimated that nothing will be released.

The king's main harvest is Landry, who is low-paid and high-powered. Larry Hughes and Dorsey are just extras, just waiting to be cut.

The Knicks introduced Tracy McGrady only for his contract to expire. The Knicks can free up 2000 million salary space to get rid of the luxury tax and have enough money to attract "big fish" in the free market.

From this point, it can also be seen that Rockets manager Morey is a short-sighted guy who only pays attention to temporary interests, and never thought of making a big difference in the free market after the end of this season.

There are also many teams attempting to trade with the Clippers, including McGee, Gortat, Morrow, Barea, etc., but the bargaining chips they offered are not very good, and the Clippers have all rejected them. These 14 people are going to hit the championship.

On the 21st, the Clippers defeated the Kings.

The king sent Martin away to make it easier for Tyreke Evans to take over. This rookie's average of 20+5+5 per game is comparable to that of LeBron James back then, and he already has the ability to be the boss.After Landry came to the Kings, he served as the starter, and together with Casspi, the three teamed up to create some troubles for the Clippers.

In one-on-one heads-up, Curry can't beat Evans. Evans has a balanced offense and defense, and Curry can only shoot.But it was the Clippers who won. The Kings lacked a good striker, and the inside line was also poor, so they couldn't guard Ye Feng and Love.

The Clippers welcomed the challenge from the Charlotte Bobcats at home, and Jordan also went to Los Angeles to watch the game live.

After playing, Ye Feng first went to the sidelines to say hello to Jordan, Jordan was a little embarrassed, his first thought was that this kid was so bold and ignorant, he wanted to come up and make fun of me.Unexpectedly, Ye Feng said with a smile: "Michael, when I was in Philadelphia, I couldn't get angry with what I said to you. I was afraid that you would worry about it, so I came here to say it. Forget it, I have already forgotten it."

Jordan was really afraid that he would embarrass himself by mentioning these things during the interview, so now he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your boy is indeed very good at it. The Bobcats can't compare to the Clippers, I admit it."

"The Bobcats will enter the playoffs this season. I hope you will achieve better results in the coming year."

"You fight hard too." Jordan stood up, shook hands with him, and patted him on the back, as if pointing to his successor, which aroused infinite reverie. People wondered when the two of them got together. Before Jordan was interviewed Sometimes they are unwilling to mention Ye Feng.

Ye Feng also noticed this point, and it's not good to get too stiff with Jordan, so he said these words, and went to warm up after speaking.

Surprisingly, the Clippers lost again, 92 to 96.

The current lineup of the Bobcats can be called the strongest since the establishment of the team.Tyson Chandler, Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Eric Gordon, Raymond Felton in the starting lineup, Boris Diaw, Tyrus Thomas on the bench , blue-collar Diop, Derek Brown transferred from the Hornets, Mohammed transferred from the Pistons and others.Under Brown's training, both inside and outside defense are guaranteed.

The main reason for the improvement is the addition of Jordan's "fake son" Gordon, who averaged 18 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season. Looking at the statistics, he is not inferior to Mayo, Rose and others.He can shoot suddenly, and he is the Bobcats' main ball-handling player. At the beginning of the game, he was absent due to injury, and the Bobcats lost many games.

The five Bobcats starting players played very well, and the substitutes didn't change much, so they played 4, and they fought hard with the Clippers on defense.Gerald Wallace is one of the few small forwards who can stand against Ye Feng. When he meets this kind of player, he can only shoot outside jumpers most of the time. In other positions, Love plays Chandler and is defended. Death, Stephen Jackson will not suffer when he meets Barnes or Smith. Gordon at the 2nd position is the same type as Curry. Gordon has a year more experience and has more comprehensive offensive methods. He is somewhat similar to Thornton, who is the Clippers' substitute, and the Clippers also have no advantage.Kidd is famous, but Felton is a 10.3-meter runner. It is said that the speed of [-] meters is [-] seconds, which is very amazing. Kidd is most afraid of this type.Competing with the substitute lineup, Gortat has not yet returned from injury, and his inside strength has also declined.

Ye Feng only scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. The Bobcats used defense to cut off his connection with other players, making him fall into a solo game with a low shooting percentage.In this game, his problems were once again exposed. He can play very well against a team with a weak front line and no inside line, but his role will be discounted against a team with a strong defense and a super forward and inside line. .Unless he has a sharper breakthrough and learns to use his feet to attack in the low post, he is not the best player yet.

After losing this game, the Clippers have lost 7 games, and there is a question mark on whether they can break the record.
