Chapter 238 Harvesting Honor, Accident, Stepping!

"Kobe missed a great opportunity, He Li lore the All-Star Game and helped the Eastern All-Star Team win the final victory!"

"He Li won the All-Star MVP that should belong to him!"

"Perfect curtain call, Michael Jordan passed on the MVP to He Li, the youngest MVP in history!"

"Michael Jordan: Legacy!"

"Steve Francis said after the game that Yao Ming is definitely qualified to be the All-Star starting center, and he is sorry that he didn't help Yao Ming become the All-Star MVP."

"League Official Spokesperson: The second NBA All-Star Game held in Atlanta on February [-] set a new high in the history of American cable television broadcasting!"

With the end of the All-Star Game, the Atlanta All-Star Game has officially come to an end.

Next, the NBA will return to the second half of the regular season, but the All-Star Game that just ended is still a topic that everyone talks about.

Jordan made it clear that he was about to retire, and taking advantage of the last All-Star Game before retirement, he perfectly passed on his fighting spirit and spirit to many young stars in the league.

In the past, Jordan played more of the role of God, but from now on, he has an extra layer of education and inheritance.

As long as Jordan's inheritors do not disappear in the league, then Jordan's "god" attributes will not gradually disappear due to retirement and death.

There is no doubt that some aspects of Jordan's attributes have been sublimated in this All-Star Game.

Of course, in order to create a perfect image of Jordan, the league has also made great efforts.

The MVP of the All-Star Game did not give He Li, which will make many people feel incredible.

But the MVP was given to Jordan, so the vast majority of people will not question the league, but will feel that the league respects Jordan and the league is humane.

Next, Jordan won the All-Star MVP and handled it very well.

Jordan personally handed over the MVP that should have belonged to He Li to He Li in a way of "inheritance".

He Li also accepted this "inheritance", this "fact" very seriously.

It can be said that this is a well-written and excellent script.

As an actor who was arranged by the plot, He Li would naturally not be happy!

On the contrary, after He Li learned the truth, he was very disgusted and in a bad mood.

At that time, He Li was very serious when accepting the MVP given by Jordan, so he thought of this.

He Li has a little understanding that Jordan's being a myth is also due to factors boosted by the league.

Of course, compared to James, who is equally talented, but can only play brother basketball to win the championship, and 4 of the 2 championships have shrunk to the season championship, Jordan's strength and honor are indeed real.

But in any case, Jordan can become a god, and the alliance also contributed.

He Li now wants to understand that Jordan is Stern's own son, and he is only loved temporarily because of opening up the Chinese market.

Of course, He Li still benefited, and Jordan has retired.

Before the second competitive American star can stand in front of He Li, He Li has a great advantage and is at the only level in the league.

Perhaps, the alliance will then tailor a script for the individual, and the protagonist in the play will be He Li.

He Li may even be able to participate in the screenwriting work while being the leading actor.

In other words, because of Jordan's influence, the ratings of this All-Star Game have indeed improved significantly, and even set an All-Star Game ratings record in one fell swoop.

According to statistics, 1172 million viewers over the age of 20 across the United States watched the game through the broadcast of TNT TV station, which is the highest ratings in the history of American cable TV broadcast basketball games.

At the same time, more than 800 million American households watched the game, and the ratings reached 7.2%.

Among them, there are 18 million viewers in the age structure of 35-380. According to statistics, since the MLB (Major League Baseball) All-Star Game in 1998, there has not been any league with an All-Star Game rating that exceeds this figure.

NBA officials dream of becoming the No. [-] in the four major leagues in North America, but they have been overwhelmed by MLB, let alone the unreachable NFL.

Now, with the help of Jordan's last All-Star Game, the NBA has once again overtaken MLB.

Let's talk about the last time, which was also in 98, the ratings record set by the playoffs and finals on the eve of Jordan's retirement.

As far as the ratings record is concerned, it is a terrifying degree of suppressing the ratings of the World Cup in the same period!

This basically confirms that in the NBA it must be unprecedented.

And the ratings of this All-Star Game have increased so much that it can set a record. Apart from Jordan, there is more or less credit for it.

However, He Li felt a little uncomfortable when he noticed the tacit understanding between the league officials and Jordan.

Although Jordan came first, He Li thought that he was the most favored person, but it turned out not to be.

So next, He Li can only rely on himself, but fight for everything that should belong to him.

Closer to home, after the All-Star Weekend, the regular season restarted again.

In the first week, the Bucks played three consecutive home games against the Mavericks, Pistons, and Grizzlies.

With the advantage of winning the All-Star Game, it was not difficult for the Bucks to defeat the Mavericks and Pistons. As for the Grizzlies, it is not a problem.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks started a four-game streak in the West, and the first game was against the No. [-] King in the West.

The overall configuration of the Bucks is indeed better than that of the Kings, but they are not 100% sure of playing the Kings.

After all, it was an away game. He Li and other Bucks' main players were a little out of order. This game was only 3 points away, and they still lost to the Kings who went all out.

Fortunately, after playing the Kings, the Bucks went to Los Angeles and easily defeated the currently chaotic Clippers.

With the help of the Clippers to adjust their status, the status of the Bucks' four consecutive players in the West is not sluggish.

Afterwards, against the Sonics and the Trail Blazers, they all punched in the usual three quarters and won easily.

The four-game streak in the West gave up, the Bucks returned to the home court, and solved the challenging Timberwolves without bloodshed.

Unexpectedly, the Suns, a fringe team in the Western Conference playoffs, were encountered one day later, but Marbury and singles Joe broke out without warning and were taken away by a wave.

Many people have never seen Marbury play in the NBA, and they don't know Marbury's ability.

A few seasons ago, Marbury and Kidd swapped clubs, and the Suns had to pay more.

It was the Nets who took advantage of the Suns. The Nets gradually entered the playoffs and even hoped to win the championship.

Not to mention, being forced to drift north in the later part of his career directly caused the CBA earthquake, and the three consecutive CBA championships are enough to show Marbury's ability.

Now that Marbury is at his peak, his personal ability is absolutely fine, but playing as a point guard is really unique.

Don't say that a lone wolf is not alone, he is a point guard from Marbury's street ball background, not an academic point guard.

Marbury has assists because his breakthrough is top-notch, and breakthrough and scoring are his forte.

But this does not mean that Marbury, as a point guard, has done a pretty good job connecting the teams.

On the contrary, many times Marbury should pass the ball instead of passing it, and keep playing singles.

The personal data is indeed gorgeous, but the team lacks a real ball-holding core.

To a certain extent, Marbury is a bit similar to Iverson and Irving. The team's positioning is more of a point guard with the ball. Once he has a suitable academic all-star point guard, he can perform quite well.

It's a pity that Marbury didn't meet such a teammate.

Marbury can pass the ball and get assists, but most of the time he still holds the ball and plays by himself.

Sometimes it makes teammates very uncomfortable to play, and sometimes the voice on the field is loud, and you can blow up your opponent with your own strength.

This time Marbury used his outstanding physical talent to crush the Bucks outside players.

Marbury's breakthrough is similar to that of Iverson. Point guards from streetball have an advantage in breakthrough skills and high proficiency. Once the defensive player relaxes his vigilance or his body can't keep up, it's just playing!
Under the threat of Marbury's coquettish breakthrough, the Bucks often arrange three people to guard against Marbury's breakthrough path.

But this time Marbury felt off the charts, and his shooting percentage in the emergency stop was also quite high.

In addition, it seems that the additional training is a three-pointer, and the three-point shooting rate is also quite outrageous.

With only 22 shots in the game, Marbury scored 22 points with a terrifying shooting rate of 15 of 43 shots.

Among them, he made 6 of 5 three-pointers and 11 of 9 free throws.

In addition, Marbury has 6 assists.

It can be said that Marbury made the lone hero to the extreme.

Just in time, another top singles star appeared in the Suns -- Joe Johnson.

The current Joe Johnson is not a singles Joe, let alone a contemporary Jordan.

However, Joe Johnson's leveling speed is good, and his strength has grown rapidly.

Sometimes when you are in good condition, you can directly get a single-game Jordan experience card, gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!
In one game, Marbury scored 43 points, and Joe scored 17 points on 11 of 31 shots in singles. It is difficult for any opponent to beat the Suns.

You know, there are Marion and Stoudemire who can score in the Suns!

The Suns' starting lineup alone scored more than [-] points. With the addition of substitutes, the Bucks, who are mainly running and gunning, can also fight to win.

Because of this, the Bucks unexpectedly received their sixth defeat.

Immediately afterwards, the Bucks went to Indianapolis non-stop to play against the Pacers, who are now firmly ranked second in the East.

The Bucks have the league's top offense, and the Pacers have the league's top defense.

Originally, the Bucks were newly defeated, their morale was poor, and the Pacers had an advantage at home. The Bucks will play very difficult in this regular season.

However, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and anything can happen in an NBA game.

The Pacers players were collectively inaccurate at home. The Bucks did not spend a lot of time, nor did they go all out. After playing the first half, they basically had a grasp of the direction of the game.

After the second half, it was more like a formality.

This allows veterans like Ewing and Barkley to have more opportunities to play, so that they can find out their feeling and state before the playoffs in two months.

After the Bucks defeated the Pacers, the busy February finally came to an end.

Speaking of which, the Bucks' record in February was not bad. Although they lost two games, they won more games steadily.

Of course, there are teams in the East with a better record than the Bucks.

And a star with more gorgeous personal data than He Li.

However, perhaps because He Li enjoyed the benefits brought by the All-Star Game, He Li still became the best player in the Eastern Conference.

This season, He Li didn't fight or snatch, obviously making sacrifices for the team's defending championship, taking regular breaks to prepare for the playoffs.

Unknowingly, He Li entered the mode of harvesting honor.

At the beginning of March, because the schedule was not too difficult, the Bucks restarted their winning streak and defeated the Eagles, Heat, Magic, and Wizards successively.

Among them, against the Wizards, Kwame Brown seemed to break his demons, and suddenly broke out, scoring 23 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Perhaps it was Kwame Brown's mutation that made Jordan, who was in a good mood and wanted to chat with He Li, suddenly become quiet, and his face gradually darkened as he sat silently on the sidelines.

The Bucks' four-game winning streak once again boosted He Li's rhythm of harvesting honors. Without any surprises, He Li once again won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

However, He Li, who returned to Milwaukee's home court next, did not have a long time to be proud.

On March 3, the Bucks easily defeated the Golden State Warriors, followed by the San Antonio Spurs on March 8.

The Spurs are still fluctuating between second and third in the West, and there is still a lot of distance from the Kings, let alone the Bucks.

Of course, the Spurs are also a strong team, and the Bucks still need to be cautious.

But I don't want to, in this regular season broadcast live across the United States, the Spurs are shamelessly playing dirty.

As the saying goes, there are no unknown people under Bowen's feet!

Bruce Bowen, who has only joined the Spurs for more than a season, blatantly slapped the All-Star, the Big Dog, after spending Carter, the All-Star.

Perhaps this is the survival rule of dirty players in the NBA, that is, to make shots under the watchful eyes of the public. This is known to the entire league, and then they become famous and have the means to survive in the league.

It's not that the Spurs and the Bucks haven't played the regular season before, and the Bucks haven't been spoiled by the Spurs players.

But the big dog returned to the All-Star game and became an All-Star player again. His fame and attention increased a wave, and Bowen made a move.

In other words, a player like Big Dog who is good at pulling out is really easy to be stepped on by dirty embryos like Bowen.

After pulling it up, Bowen was accurate one point at a time.

Even after Bowen put his feet up, he could pretend that nothing had happened and walk away. When the big dog fell to the ground and howled in pain, Bowen could still pretend to be innocent and spread his hands.

It is this unashamed and irritating dirty practice that makes the Bucks players who were in good condition lose their normal desire and state to play.

After the big dog was carried down, many people in the Bucks had lost their minds on playing.

He Li, the head of the Bucks, also has the idea of ​​knowing the big dog's injury, let alone other people.

Of course, there are also people who want to avenge the big dog and go up to give Bo Wen two fists.

Needless to say, Boozer made a shot and Boozer was ejected.

Boozer's dismissal did not affect the game, but the Bucks played the ball absent-mindedly because of the big dog being stepped on and carried down. As a result, the game was explained because of this shit.

Fortunately, the Bucks have a thick lineup, and the overall combat power has not declined due to the lack of big dogs.

As the sixth man in the team, Reed can replace most of the big dogs, and He Li can increase the time with the second team.

Therefore, the Bucks should have a relatively stable record in the days when the big dog is missing.

It's a pity that the Bucks were disgusted by the Spurs and lost another regular season, and it may still affect the regular season that broke the Bulls' record of 72 wins.
