NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 210 Finally Resting!

The next day, Presti came to the arena early in the morning and led the players to train.
An hour later, Presti asked the players to take a break. At this time, Curry came over with a worried face and said, "Coach, do you think I can be an All-Star this year?"

Before Presti answered, Paul George also came over and asked, "Where is my coach, can I be an All-Star?"

At this time, Presti thought that the All-Stars at this time had not yet been reformed. Instead of two backcourts and three frontcourts like in later generations, there were two guards, two forwards and a center. Thinking of this, Presti said: "I'm not sure about this season, but next season will definitely be possible," because the previous All-Stars reformed in the next season.

"Then I have no chance at all?" Paul George asked a little disappointed.

"There are still some," Presti said with a smile. This year, Paul George needs to compete with Griffin, Durant, Aldridge, Nowitzki, and Kevin Love. The most hopeful thing for Paul George is to defeat Kevin Love. However, Kevin Love's data at this time is explosive. So far, he has 26+13.3+2 data, including 4.1 offensive rebounds, while Paul George's data is 19.8+7.8+4.4+2.2.
Presti went on to say: "Play well tomorrow, let's get some points." After Presti finished speaking, he looked at Curry who was waiting for an answer, and said with a smile: "You must be in the All-Star."

"Yeah," Curry happily agreed, then patted Paul George on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow I'll feed you the ball hard, and you just throw it!"

........................

In the evening, Presti immediately turned on the TV to watch D'Antoni's first game as coach!
The Lakers played against the Timberwolves at home. At the beginning of the game, the two sides were anxious, and you came and went. Although the defense of the Timberwolves was not good, the offense was unambiguous. At 7 minutes into the game, Love hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc, Dragic hit a mid-range shot, and the Timberwolves took the lead!
But then, Kobe turned back and made consecutive hits, Gasol also succeeded at the basket, Artest even hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers suddenly overtook the score!

Although the Lakers took the initiative in the scene afterwards, they were still unable to take the lead. The reason is that whenever they want to draw to double digits, the Timberwolves will always hit the answer ball!

When it came to the coach of the bench lineup in the second quarter, the Timberwolves' bench played an 8:0 offensive climax under Rubio's combing!Overtake the score again!
But Kobe and Artest immediately responded with two three-pointers to chase the point difference to 2 points to end the first half.

In the second half, the suspense between the two sides remained stalemate until the end. Love scored two consecutive three-pointers to catch up with the score at the last moment, but failed to complete the lore by missing the crucial three-pointer.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly beat the Timberwolves 114-110 to win the game!
After reading it, Presti shook his head and sighed: "D'Antoni's set is not suitable for the Lakers at all, and he can't play running and bombing at all. It can be said that everything about the Lakers runs counter to D'Antoni's philosophy!"

This season is fine, but when the Lakers get Nash and Howard next season, then the disaster will begin. Kobe and Nash are too old to run at all, and the twin towers of Gasol and Howard are not suitable for running and bombing.
And if he remembers correctly, the Lakers did not recruit D'Antoni because of his performance in the Hornets. Bass Jr., who was in power, worried about the impact of Zen master Phil Jackson's entry into the Lakers on his status, so he used an excuse to find D'Antoni.

It can be said that D'Antoni made a very bad move.

On the second day, the Hornets are still at home, and they will face the challenge of the Blazers!This game is the last game before the All-Star break, so both sides will do their best to give themselves a good weekend.

At the beginning of the game, the Blazers each relied on Aldridge's 8 points in the interior to take the lead.

As soon as the game was over, Paul George ran over and said, "Coach, how is my performance today?"

"Very good. If you are not selected in the end, don't regret it. After all, you are only in your second year. Anyway, you will definitely be an All-Star next year," Presti affirmed.

"Well." Paul George nodded. Today is his best form. If this can't attract fans to vote, then there is nothing to regret.

A day later, the league announced the 2011-2012 All-Stars!
