NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

The tight schedule of this season makes people feel that time passes quickly.

At present, the results of the All-Star voting have come out. With his perfect performance in the first half of the season, Long Rui overwhelmed the stars and was elected as the All-Star vote leader.

Behind him are James, Kobe and others.

When the voting results were finalized, Long Rui once again created many historic moments. He was the first Asian player to become the NBA All-Star vote leader.

You know, in fact, in this league, there are often some unfairness towards these foreign players, but Long Rui was able to use his own strength to win everyone's approval. This is something to be proud of.

Regarding the fact that Long Rui became the top voter, the media also conducted interviews with some star players.

"Although I am very dissatisfied, the fact now is that he is a better player than me."

Kobe laughed.

"We defeated him this season. I think I have the chance to become the vote leader, but I am helpless. Long Rui is so popular now, and the game he played while sick gave people a very deep impression. So he got more votes than me."

James was second only to Long Rui in the number of votes, and the difference was not that great.

Of course, he doesn't really care about these things. After all, the All-Star is just an entertainment event, which doesn't explain anything. What he desires most now is the championship.

This is already the second year that the Big Three of the Heat have been formed. If they are not successful, they may have to be disbanded early.

Without a championship, this Heat team is destined to become the laughing stock of the league, so James is now focusing on only one thing, as for other things, he doesn't care at all.

For the sake of the championship, he doesn't even care about awards like the regular season MVP, let alone an All-Star vote king.

"I can lose to Long Rui anywhere, but the only thing I can't lose is the championship."

This is James' last sentence in the interview, which shows how firm his determination is.

The All-Star Game of this season will start a week later. Within this week, the Cavaliers still have three games to play.

So far this season, the Cavaliers have achieved a total of 26 wins and 3 losses, with a winning percentage of 87%.

This terrifying winning percentage also allowed them to crush the Heat and temporarily top the league's number one throne.

Followed by the Heat, they achieved a record of 23 wins and 5 losses, which is also very good.

The next three games are not difficult for the Cavaliers. Among them, only the Bulls have a little strength, but compared with last season, their strength is showing a downward trend.

In the upcoming All-Star Game, Long Rui also received invitations to the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, but he rejected them all, and he didn't care about these honors.

Because in the last season, he had already won the titles of slam dunk king and three-pointer king, so he chose to leave almost everything to others.

For example, his teammate Stephen Curry, Long Rui took the title of three-point champion in front of him last season, which made Curry envious.

Everyone knows how good Curry's three-point ability is, he is fully capable of winning the title of three-pointer, and this season he is also the player with the most three-pointers in the league, so for this award, he is bound to win .

For it, Curry even practiced extra every day. When he learned that Long Rui would not participate, he became more confident.

In fact, the main reason why Long Rui didn't participate was that he was lazy. Although these competitions were short, the process was cumbersome.

And even if he rejected the invitations to the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, he still had to participate in two events, namely the All-Star Rookie Game and the All-Star Game.

Because this is the second season of his career, based on his MVP-level performance, he must participate in the rookie game, even if he is very reluctant.

In addition to Long Rui's All-Star vote leader, the Cavaliers have a total of four All-Star players, which is a very remarkable thing.

The other three are Stephen Curry, Paul George and Yi Jianlian!
When a team has four All-Star players at the same time, it can be seen that the team is strong. Even the Heat only have three players selected.

Among the four, Yi Jianlian's selection is the most surprising. You must know that before he came to the Cavaliers, he was almost reduced to a marginal player, and he may be cut at any time.

But it's just such a player, after changing teams, suddenly rejuvenated, and the bigger the better.

So far this season, Yi Jianlian has averaged 19.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game, and he has performed very well.

In contrast, the Heat's third giant, 'Dragon King' Bosh, averaged only 18.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.8 blocks per game this season.

From the data point of view, Yi Jianlian has completely crushed the 'Dragon King' Bosh, so he deserves to be selected as an All-Star!
Yi Jianlian has been in the league for many years, and this is the first time he has been selected as an All-Star.

For this, the person he would like to thank the most is Long Rui. If it wasn't for Long Rui, maybe he is no longer in this league now, let alone have the opportunity to become an All-Star player.

In the next three games, the Cavaliers continued their strong performance, beating the Kings, Timberwolves, and Bulls one after another under the leadership of Long Rui.

The team's record has also gone a step further, reaching 29 wins and 3 losses, continuing to secure their first place in the league.

……

The time has come to February 2, and the All-Star Weekend will start today.

This year's All-Star will be held at the home court of the Orlando Magic. Although it is a shortened season, the enthusiasm remains undiminished.

The All-Star rookie game will be held on the first day, and a total of [-] players will be selected.

Among them are many players who will become stars in the future, such as first-year rookies Leonard and Kemba Walker, and second-year players Wall and Cousins.

Before the start of the game, there was a very grand opening ceremony, which lasted for about half an hour.

Afterwards, these [-] players appeared one by one under the introduction of the host. Long Rui's appearance immediately caused the screams of countless fans!
Compared with the others, Griffin and the others looked at Long Rui with deep envy.

Long Rui is now the most successful player at this stage, and he has even surpassed LeBron James in terms of hard honors!
The game is divided into two camps, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley.

These two are notorious big mouths in the league, and this duel is also very interesting.

The two also selected ten players each to form their own camps, and Long Rui was selected into the 'big shark' camp!
