Chapter 916 3rd AMVP
The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will be held at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles from February 2th to 17th.

Los Angeles is a big city on the west coast, and having Hollywood makes them the biggest entertainment center on the west coast.Owning two NBA teams, the Lakers and the Clippers, even though the Lakers are currently rebuilding the team, their past glory and the support of big cities make them very attractive to big-name free agents.

The Lakers really have no hope this season, but their goal is not the playoffs this season, but the offseason after the end of the season. In the offseason of 2018, theoretically, there will be big fish such as Ying Xiong, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant.For them, there is cap space to sign two max players.As long as the superstar comes, why worry about the reconstruction not being successful.

For a giant like the Lakers, it is normal to attract big-name free agents, quickly complete the rebuild, and become a championship team again.They don't have much patience to develop players slowly, rebuild slowly, and rise a little bit.

So even in the middle of the season, in the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, elements of recruiting superstars such as Ying Xiong are everywhere.For fans in Los Angeles, superstars like Yingxiong and James can only exert their greatest commercial value in big cities.

Ying Xiong knew that the two teams in Los Angeles wanted to recruit him during the offseason. He didn't dislike it. As long as it didn't violate the rules, this form of recruitment was also normal.But he will not violate his principles for the so-called commercial value of big cities. He has already made a decision about his future during the offseason, and this decision will not be changed by various external events.

This time for the All-Star Game, Sun Jing couldn't come because of something, Ying Xiong felt a little regretful about it.But when he thought that the two of them could be together for a long time in the future, this regret was quickly diluted by joy.

In this All-Star Game, Ying Xiong has no other single-event tasks except for the main game, so he has a lot of time to focus on other events.For him, the All-Star weekend is more like a break in the season, allowing him to adjust himself, and then have enough energy to meet the second half of the regular season.

On February 2, the All-Star Game officially kicked off.If the rookie game and other individual events are likened to the pre-meal, then the All-Star Game is the main meal.

This year's All-Stars introduced the captain system, making the All-Star Game a more personalized and topical big party.

The starting lineup of the Eastern All-Star Yingxiong team is: Kyrie Irving, Yingxiong, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis.The head coach is Raptors coach Devin Casey.

The starting lineup of the Western All-Star Curry team is: Stephen Curry, James Harden, Klay Thompson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid.The head coach is Rockets coach D'Antoni.

The intensity of the All-Star Game is slightly higher than that of the Rookie Game, but it's not much higher.In the first 3 quarters of the game, everyone played for fun, and only in the last quarter did they play seriously.However, the level of dedication of the stars in this All-Star Game is much better than the previous ones. I don't know if it is due to the new rules.

Although judging from the lineup, the Yingxiong team has this advantage, but in real fights, the two sides are evenly matched.The game started from the first quarter and has been anxious until the end.

At the critical moment, the Yingxiong team relied on defense to limit the performance of the Curry team and finally won the game.

应雄本场比赛砍下了全场最高的32分，再加8个篮板9个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，成为了球队获胜的最大功臣。

With his outstanding performance in the game, Ying Xiong won the MVP of this All-Star Game.

Ying Xiong won the MVP, and many fans of the Lakers and Clippers were very excited, even crazy.They kept shouting "Come to Los Angeles, Hero!" It really made Yingxiong and Yingxiong's coach Devin Casey dumbfounded.

Ying Xiong won the MVP of this All-Star Game, which is the third time for him to win the MVP of the All-Star Game, comparable to "Big O" Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan, second only to Kobe Bryant and Bob Pettit (both 3 times).

Coincidentally, Ying Xiong won the All-Star Game MVP every two years, and they were all even-numbered years (2014/2016/2018).So if this rule is followed, the next time he wins this award will be in the 2020 All-Star Game.

This year's All-Star Game officially came to an end after Ying Xiong won the MVP of the main game.Next, it is the second half of the regular season, the stage of sprinting to the playoffs, and of course the critical stage for the tank team to compete for the No. [-] pick.

After the All-Star weekend, each team has a few days of rest, which can be used for training, wounded recovery, etc.

On February 2, the Raptors played against the Milwaukee Bucks at home.In this game, both teams played very well and fought until the end.

At the last critical moment, Ying Xiong stood up for the Raptors, scored two unreasonable 3-pointers, and directly accepted the victory of the game, thus helping the team usher in a 24-game winning streak.

The state of the Raptors after the All-Star Game is so hot, and the calls for them to break the historical record of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak are getting louder and louder.

According to the schedule, the Raptors have no particularly strong opponents in the next 10 games except for the Houston Rockets, which makes them more likely to break the record.

On February 2, the Raptors played against the Detroit Pistons at home in the team's last game in February.

The Pistons have been sluggish all these years. With a little luck, they can barely catch the last train of the playoffs.Almost luck, like the 9th and 10th in the Eastern Conference, neither can enter the playoffs, nor have a high draft pick.

On January 1, the Pistons traded Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley and Boban Marjanovic, as well as a 30 first-round pick and a 2018 second-round pick, to the Clippers. Get Blake Griffin, Bryce Johnson and Willie Reed.

Obviously, the core figures of this deal are Harris and Griffin.

Since Paul was traded to the Rockets, the Clippers have entered a rebuilding phase.Now that it's rebuilt, Griffin's presence has become less important.Trading him for draft picks and an expiring contract is something they are willing to do.The Pistons are also willing to get Griffin, an All-Star power forward, and then form twin towers with Zhuang Shen, hoping to make trouble in the East.

Although Griffin has continued to suffer from injuries, he is an All-Star power forward who is in his prime.In this league, superstars are always scarce, and it is worthwhile to get a superstar, even if it costs a little blood.
