Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 202
The second day of the somewhat anticlimactic All-Star Weekend is over. Although the Lakers did not win the two "highlights", the players still had a lot of fun. After the previous wave of monster games, the team looked physically and mentally exhausted , listless in the game, and sometimes the rubber band is too tight is not a good thing, proper rest can help relieve stress.

"Challenge the record of 72 wins and 10 losses? This season is definitely impossible. I believe this record will be broken one day, but we will not fight for the record. In the final analysis, the championship is our goal. Nothing is more important than this, if we broke the record, but did not win the championship, all this will be meaningless. There are many rookies on the team who have only played for one or two years. Thank you Coach Jackson and our coaching staff for their efforts , so that this team can display its combat effectiveness in the shortest time." Jim accepted interviews from various media before the All-Star Game.

"Yao? He has the conditions to be a good player, but he is not in a good team now. I know that my words may hurt the majority of Rockets fans, but I don't think that in the next 10 years , the Houston Rockets have any hope of winning a championship, Carol Dawson may be a good guy, but he is not a qualified general manager, let's see what he has done: use Sam Carol Sale, Robert Hawley, Mark Bryant and Chuck Brown for Charles Barkley. No disrespect to Charles, but the Rockets can't count on Matt Maloney and Mario Avery to form The backcourt to reach the finals, basketball is not three people; next, he signed Scottie Pippen, 5 years, 7300 million US dollars, suffered a major injury, 34-year-old Pippen, I don't even know what to do How to evaluate this signing; $6 million for Maurice Taylor in 4875 years? For Eddie Griffin? As for Jeff Van Gundy, I think he is a good sideline commentator, that's all." Chinese media As usual, he asked about Yao Ming, who will be the starting center in the Western Conference in the All-Star Game. Jim felt that for the sake of the physical and mental health of the fans, it is necessary for them to lower their expectations for the Rockets.

"Kobe and Kevin were on the same team and split the MVP vote. I have nothing to say about it. It was my fault that put them together. But in certain years, Larry Bird was really better than Magician. A better player? When selecting the MVP, it is not based on who performed better, but whose teammates were worse? This is unscientific. Fortunately, the eyes of the fans are discerning, and the All-Star votes can explain the problem to a certain extent .”

However, the All-Star votes obviously cannot explain the whole problem, because the 180 million votes of Kobe and Garnett are only 10 ahead of Yao Ming and Duncan, and there is still some distance from Vince Carter's 210 million. What they are looking at is not the triangle offense, let alone the basic skills. They want to watch the exciting dunks and individual performances, which are obviously the specialty of Carter and Iverson.

Phil Jackson once again became the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team.After the interview, Jim found a Zen master.

"We have two options, let Kobe or Kevin get the All-Star MVP, you are the boss, listen to you." Zen Master didn't wait for Jim to speak.

"Or let them both take it together," Jim laughed.

"It's a bit difficult, I can try it, but the decision rests with the judges."

The starting lineups of the two sides debuted, first in the East, Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady partnered in the backcourt, the striker was Vince Carter and Paul Pierce in 98, and the center was Shaquille Earl O'Neill.

It is worth mentioning that after returning to the Pistons, Ben Wallace performed well and won the support of a large number of fans. The Pistons can firmly rank second in the Eastern Conference. In the second All-Star voting, Ben lost to O'Neal by only 10 votes, and unfortunately lost the starting lineup.

The Pistons have three substitutes selected, namely Ben Wallace, Brad Miller and Michael Reed, the Nets have Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin selected, and the remaining two places are given to the Hornets The team's Baron Davis and Jamal Magloire.

In addition to LeBron James, Larry Hughes, Jason Terry and Lamar Odom, who performed well during the season, all regretted losing. dragged down, but the Heat's record has exceeded expectations. No matter from the performance on the court or the enjoyment of playing, Odom is more suitable to appear on the All-Star stage than Magloire.

Starting in the West, Steve Francis relied on his mysterious Eastern power to overwhelm Ray Allen and Steve Nash and became the backcourt partner with Kobe. Yao Ming.

In terms of substitutes, due to the fact that the Mavericks have too much distribution of the ball, the statistics of the major stars have declined. Only Nowitzki was selected as an All-Star. The King's Webber and Peja Stojakovic, the Supersonics Ray Allen of the Timberwolves, Gilbert Arenas and Jermaine O'Neal of the Timberwolves were all successfully selected, and there is also a place for the Jazz's Russian forward Andrei Kirilenko. , Kirilenko held up the banner of the Jazz. With his overall performance, the Jazz still have hope of reaching the playoffs.

Marion of the Suns, Brand of the Clippers, Lewis of the Supersonics, Bibby of the Kings, Gasol and Stoudemire of the Grizzlies, and Rasheed Wallace of the Spurs all lost the selection, and the West is excellent There are too many players.

"Of course I am looking forward to winning the All-Star MVP, especially at the home of the Los Angeles Lakers. Everyone knows that I am a vengeful person, but none of them can do anything to me." At that time, he showed an extraordinary desire to win, overpowering Yao Ming to win the ball for the Eastern Conference.

Iverson received the ball, saw O'Neal's momentum, and made a clear decision. Before the West retreated in time, he quickly advanced. Sharks dunked on Yao Ming's head.

Francis quit here, and Yao Ming is obviously still defending with the mentality of having fun. If you say what O'Neill says, you can really fight.

Regardless of strength for the time being, Boss Fu really has nothing to choose when it comes to righteousness. Besides, Boss Fu is also a man who competes with Carter for the dunk title. His explosive style of play still attracts fans.

Boss Fu took the ball and found Yao Ming directly, and then pulled away, signaling Yao Ming to return O'Neal.

After a year of baptism, Yao Ming also realized that blind humility cannot make others respect you more, only strength is the best microphone.

Seeing that the remaining three bosses cooperated very well to open up the heads-up space, Yao Ming did his part and hit O'Neal with the back. Taking advantage of his height, he turned over and hit a jumper, reciprocating with two points.
