Chapter 274 Selected for the All-Star Rookie Challenge

The Bucks have been in poor form recently, especially in the latest wave of western tours. They only won one game in 6 games. They currently rank outside the top 16 in the Eastern Conference with a record of 23 wins and 10 losses. The playoffs seem to be getting closer and closer. further away.

In addition, the Bucks team boss Michael Reed once again entered the injured list. Even in the few games he came back, his performance was not satisfactory, and his offensive efficiency was low.This is even more difficult for the Bucks who attack constipation.

But for the Bucks, there is also good news. On January 1, the team signed free agent Jerry Stackhouse.Although Stackhouse is already a 17-year-old veteran, his rich game experience and excellent state allow him to be a good supplement to the team.

Stackhouse will appear in the Bucks' home game against the Raptors on January 1. He can play shooting guard and small forward, and he will be a good reinforcement for the team's bench.

For Xiong, the arrival of Stackhouse is bound to affect his playing time.It is true that I am younger than the opponent and have potential, but the problem is that for the Bucks who are unwilling to cultivate themselves for a long time, I and Stackhouse are actually the same in essence. They are both part-time workers of the team. future.

I don’t know if the recent record decline has put pressure on the Bucks’ management and coaching staff. They have changed their lineup after the team’s Western Conference road trip, and once again played the same “big one” as last season. Four small" lineup. The "big one" is Bogut. The No. [-] center with excellent frame protection ability and inside defense ability can support the inside defense alone. This is also the key to the team's daring to play this lineup.

In Ying Xiong's view, the main purpose of the Bucks coaching staff's arrangement is to enhance the team's offensive ability through this lineup.Because the team's offensive firepower was too insufficient before, so that some games that could be won were not won in the end.

On January 1, the Bucks played against the Raptors at home.Ying Xiong started as usual, and Ilyasova was relegated to the bench.

From the beginning of this game to the end of this month, a total of 6 games, the Bucks played a record of 4 wins and 2 losses.Since changing the lineup to "one big and four small", the team's offensive efficiency has been much higher, the offensive speed has accelerated, and the defense has not been affected.

After Yingxiong played a small lineup, although his tactical status has not changed much, he played more naturally on the court, and his statistics have also increased a bit compared to before. He is one of the contributors to the recent improvement of the team's record.

In the NBA's 82 regular season games, at the end of January, the Bucks ranked outside the top 1 in the Eastern Conference with a record of 20 wins and 25 losses. They have played a total of 8 games, and the schedule has passed halfway.For the team, considering the previous injury situation and the team's book strength, this record is not unacceptable.But for the team, after all, they still hope to enter the playoffs. This is the goal of the season, and it is not an impossible task.

For the Bucks, it is not known when the team boss Michael Reed will come back, but the newly joined Stackhouse has shown a very good immediate combat power, providing a solid foundation for the team's bench lineup. Sufficient offensive firepower.

The 2010 NBA All-Star Game will be held at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on February 2. This is the second time that Dallas has hosted the All-Star Game.

In the 6 games before the All-Star break, the Bucks continued their good momentum at the end of January, with a record of 1 wins and 4 losses, and continued to steadily advance to the 2th position in the Eastern Conference.

During this period, the NBA officially announced the East and West All-Star list for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game.

Eastern All-Star starting lineup: center - Dwight Howard, forward - Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, guard - Dwyane Wade, Allen Iverson.

Eastern Conference All-Star Substitute Lineup: Centers - David Lee, Al Horford, Forwards - Chris Bosh, Gerald Wallace, Paul Pierce, Guards - Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, Joe Johnson.

Western All-Star bench lineup: Center - Chris Kaman, Pau Gasol, forward - Dirk Nowitzki, Zach Randolph, Kevin Durant, guard - Brandon Roy, Deron Williams.

The Cavaliers' James was elected as the current All-Star vote leader.

Ying Xiong also received an invitation from the event organizer before the announcement of the roster for the All-Star individual competition, inviting him to participate in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

However, Ying Xiong declined the invitation. He did not tell the other party the specific reason, but said that he was very grateful to the organizer for inviting him.For him, participating in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest is not something he doesn't want to do, but he feels that the time is wrong.If there is a chance in the future, he is likely to try his hand in the dunk contest.

For Xiong, this year's All-Star Game is not the same as last season, and has no connection with him at all.This year's All-Star Game, he was selected for the Rookie Challenge!Be part of the sophomore rookie team!
The list for the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge is that the coaching team selects the best 1 rookie players in January to form a rookie team, which is divided into a first-year team and a second-year team, and then the two teams will compete.

On January 1, the NBA announced the 28-man roster for the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

First-year team: Tyreke Evans, Omega Casspi, Stephen Curry, Joni Flynn, Brandon Jennings, James Harden, Tucky Gibson, DeJuan Blair, Jonas Jere Bukko.

Second-year team: Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Brook Lopez, Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Marc Gasol, Kevin Love, Ying Xiong.

This is Ying Xiong's first selection in the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge. Last season, he had too few opportunities to play on the team and did not get any performance opportunities. Naturally, it is impossible to be selected.This season, with Richard Jefferson's trade leaving the team and the long-term absence of team boss Michael Reed, he got relatively stable playing time and made great progress.

As soon as the roster for the Rookie Challenge was announced, the New York media immediately complained for Gallinari of the Knicks.They wrote an article saying that the organizers of the All-Star Games were shady, because Yao Ming was injured and had no chance to enter the All-Star Game, and Ying Xiong was allowed to enter the Rookie Challenge in order to attract the huge market in China.
