After defeating the Sacramento Kings, the league announced the selection list for this All-Star Game. This All-Star Game was held at the Center Arena, the home of the Phoenix Suns. Teams, Orlando Magic and many other opponents.

After the Seattle Supersonics changed hands, they also decided to apply for the All-Star Game two years later. kind of promotion.

Stephen and Yao Ming have both entered the starting list of the Western All-Star Team. Although Durant has Stephen's appeal and his performance in the recent period has been very good, he still falls short and falls behind Pau Gasol. Didn't make the bench for the All-Star Game, but he's headed to Phoenix, too, because he's playing as a sophomore in the Rookie Challenge.

As the No. [-] team in the Western Conference, Carlesimo should have coached the Western All-Star Team, but since he had already coached once last year, this year's Western Conference All-Star Team is hosted by the second-ranked Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference. Coach Phil Jackson coaches.

In addition to Stephen and Yao Ming, the other starting players are guard Kobe Bryant, forward Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire, who took advantage of the home field. In the first round of voting, he overtook Carmelo Anthony and entered the starting lineup.

The West's benches are guards Steve Nash, Chauncey Billups and Brandon Roy, the forwards are Carmelo Anthony Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Gasol, and the center is Shaquille O'Neal.

Compared with the West, the All-Star team in the East is a little younger and more energetic. Their head coach is the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Mike Brown. Compared with Phil Jackson, at least the head coach is much younger.

And their starting list is center Dwight, forward LeBron James and Kevin Garnett, and the guards are Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade. The performance of other people in this lineup is worthy of this All-Star starter. , only Allen Iverson basically did not have much performance in the Detroit Pistons, and he still entered the All-Star starter with a high number of votes. He started, but his advantages are not too obvious. A player who has no performance on the field can only support two or three seasons at most if he relies on his laurels to make it to the All-Star.

The East's All-Star lineup is largely dominated by the No. [-] team in the East, guard Ray Allen and forward Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics, guard Maurice Williams from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jameer Nelson and Rashad Lewis is from the Orlando Magic, and guard Joe Johnson is from the Atlanta Hawks. Jameer Nelson is unable to play due to injury and is replaced by Danny Granger. The center is Chris Bosh.

Because he wanted to rest as much as possible, although the league invited Stephen to participate in other individual events, and the fans also voiced their voices, they were all rejected by Stephen. Stephen's dunks in the game were very good, and there were many tricks, but Stephen was unwilling to dunk. Performing in an entertainment venue like a competition is not very interesting. It is very hard work to design movements carefully and rehearse in advance.

As for the three-point long-range shooting competition, Stephen is even more reluctant to participate. He feels that there is no challenge, but he may meet someone who is in good condition and may lose. Moreover, with his own status, it is also condescending to participate in such a competition. a feeling of.

Before the Skills Challenge, Stephen was very interested in participating, and had attracted players like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to participate, but this year, the participants were all small point guards, and Stephen was unwilling to compete with them. This championship, especially with Tony Parker in it.

Just as the Supersonic team was getting ready to go to the airport for Los Angeles, Kevin Durant's phone rang first. After hanging up, Durant had a look of joy on his face, just as many people didn't know how to answer. What happened, Russell Westbrook, who likes to play Twitter, suddenly called out: "Carmelo Anthony was injured and left the game just now, and it has been determined that he will not be able to participate in this year's All-Star Game, so league president Davis Turn designated Kevin to replace Carmelo Anthony in this All-Star Game."

All the people cheered. They never expected that the All-Star qualification that they had worked hard for for nearly two months but failed to achieve was so effortless. Life is always full of uncertain factors. Carmelo Anthony has been in the starting list, but fell out at the last moment and was surpassed by Amare Stoudemire. Now he is injured and Durant The first All-Star Tour, can be regarded as the living Lei Feng of this All-Star Game.

With such a happy atmosphere, the Sonics landed at the airport in Los Angeles. This game against the Los Angeles Lakers was the first meeting between the two teams this season, and it was also a major matchup in the West, because the two teams were separated. It is the first and second in the Western Conference, far surpassing the Dallas Mavericks ranked third in the Western Conference. Although the Supersonics are still the first in the Western Conference after losing this game, it is still a bit unreasonable to lose the first to the second.

Some people call this game a preview of the Western Conference Finals. Although this statement is unfair to other teams, it is very possible to see the state of the two teams, especially this season. The season has matured a lot. Last season, the Sonics won many games by relying on one breath. However, many games this season seem to be very easy to win, showing that they have made great progress. The Los Angeles Lakers It is also more unrestrained and free than before.

In addition to team factors, the duel between players is also very interesting. Like Kobe Bryant and Stephen, the two major league scoring masters, in the current scoring list, Stephen averaged 36 points per game. First, and Kobe Bryant ranked second with 32 points. If Stephen's personal score hadn't improved recently, Kobe Bryant would be the closest one.

Coupled with the aristocratic status of the Los Angeles Lakers, this game also got the opportunity to be broadcast live in the United States, and it was broadcast live again in the United States only after one game. For the Sonics, it was also the first time.

After Bynum returned this season, he performed very maturely and became a powerful pillar of the team under the basket, squeezing Odom to the sixth man position, but he still did not get the chance to play as an All-Star. He was full of resentment. In a pre-match interview, he suddenly mentioned that many teams did not fully consider commercial interests when making transactions. Some transactions were fundamentally unbalanced in value, and the league should limit such transactions.

But he forgot that there are 28 teams in the league, and [-] teams can blame the Sonics, but the Los Angeles Lakers can't do that. Sure enough, when the reporter asked Stephen about this matter, Li Daxiao looked strange Asked reporters: "Andrew Bynum really said that?"

"Thank you Bynum for standing up and speaking out for justice. I admit here that Bynum is a real man, and he is a role model for our school." After receiving the reporter's affirmative reply, Stephen immediately said very loudly .

"You mean, you agree with what he said?" The reporter asked in surprise, and the irony didn't mean it.

"Of course I agree. I have always believed that the relationship between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies regarding Pau Gasol was a robbery deal. This deal is not equal at all, and the league should restrict such deals." Stephen Immediately said righteously and solemnly.

The reporter was dumbfounded over there, but he had to continue acting, so he asked again: "Do you think he wasn't talking about Yao Ming's deal?"

"Of course not. What we got was an injured Yao Ming. We had to take a lot of risks. What the Los Angeles Lakers got was a healthy Pau Gasol. Of course, this deal from the Lakers It's even more unfair, and I thank Andrew Bynum again for his outspokenness, and everyone should learn from him." Stephen stared, as if he was going to fight desperately with anyone who dared to say no, The reporter smiled wryly and ended the interview.

And when the reporter asked this question to Andrew Bynum, he was dumbfounded all of a sudden. , He didn't dare to say anything anymore, but luckily Stephen didn't appear in front of him, if he did, he would definitely strangle him to death with his hands without hesitation, wouldn't it hurt me.

In the game, Bynum played very strongly at the beginning, and Yao Ming even suffered a little loss in the matchup with him, which made the fans in Los Angeles very happy. After four years, his team finally waited for him. When it comes to the successor of Shark O'Neal, the team's insiders no longer have to worry about it.

In fact, Yao Ming only encountered such a tall and strong opponent for the first time after recovering from his injury. Yao Ming did not dare to use too much force. He felt that his feet were a little weak when he made a move. Naturally, Yao Ming did not dare to confront Bynum head-on. Yes, but as Yao Ming gradually recovered that feeling, he slowly brought the situation back. In order to deal with the opponent's inside line, the Sonics put on Yao Ming and Coupard in the second quarter. With a double-high lineup, the Lakers were soon defeated inside.

The line of defense was first opened from Pau Gasol's side. He was really not used to this head-to-head style of play, but there was no way. As Yao Ming gradually recovered his form, Bynum was also knocked out of the dust. .
