shooting guard era

Chapter 157. 186. All-Star Portraits
A slam dunk contest pushed Ye Han's popularity to the peak, enough to compare with when he shocked the world at the beginning of the season.

The last rookie whose popularity was comparable to Ye Han's was Grant Hill ten years ago. In his second season, he even surpassed the 72-win Jordan to win the All-Star vote.

In this year's All-Star Game, Ye Han unexpectedly became the most popular among all the players.

Yao Ming was voted king. Chinese fans accounted for the main factor, and his popularity in the United States can only be regarded as mediocre except for Houston.Kobe's popularity has become half and half because of personal incidents in the past two years. Half people love him and the other half hate him.In recent years, Carter's personal data and team record have begun to decline.Iverson has always been very popular, but unfortunately the team's record is not as good as the rookie Ye Han.James, a supernova, is good in all aspects, but he has always been the favorite of heaven, and the sensational effect brought about by Ye Han's low-ranking crazy counterattack cannot be compared.

So, on the day of the All-Star Game, when the players were introduced, Ye Han cheered the loudest.

After playing all three tournaments yesterday, Ye Han didn't look tired at all.

"Today is the All-Star Game, wow, before I entered the NBA, I never thought that I would be able to stand on this stage in my rookie season. Now I am full of strength." When asked if he would play all the events in the All-Star Game Ye Han replied when he was tired.

The All-Stars of the East and West gathered together before the game to discuss how to play today.

Seeing these teammates around today, Ye Han thought he finally had a group of top teammates!You don't need to work hard on defense like two days ago, but you have to rely on strategy.

Look at the four players who started together, Okafor, Hill, James, and Iverson. If there were to be such four teammates... I guess they would fight!Iverson, James, and Hill are all masters of possession. Sure enough, only All-Stars can meet this kind of lineup.

After discussing for a while, we didn't discuss any specific tactics. The final conclusion is that we will watch and play at that time. They are all the best players in the team, and playing casually is a tactic.

The All-Stars in the Western Conference showed their own characteristics before the game. Kobe has just returned from injury, and the two comeback games are not bad, but the team's recent opponents are very strong. The Lakers are hard to find. Seeing that he is not happy to be an All-Star now, except for McGrady, Iverson, Garnett and other stars of the same stage of the older generation, others really dare not talk to him.

Yao Ming is still so introverted, but he can't find the opportunity to talk too much with his teammates. He represents the face of the Chinese in the NBA. Compared to Ye Han, he is responsible for the Chinese basketball culture.

McGrady sat next to Kobe with a sleepy look, talking without a word, as if he didn't care about anything.

Garnett and Duncan stood on the sidelines, and the two No. 21s stood there in a daze. I really don't know why the fans chose these two stone men.

Nowitzki, who was selected as a substitute, looked at the most familiar stranger not far away. That was Nash. Nash and his new teammates, two All-Star players Amare Stoudemire and Sean - Marion laughed and chatted with West All-Star head coach Mike D'Antoni.

Nowitzki still doesn't understand why the boss Cuban chooses to give that arrogant center such a big contract, but he is unwilling to give Nash, who has already been selected as an All-Star, a salary of tens of millions?It may be that he has his own ideas. Nowitzki is very supportive of Cuban's decision. Even if he may be really wrong, he will support it, because no boss does not want to make his team better.

Manu Ginobili of the Spurs was not interested in his own hair loss when he was selected as an All-Star. He planned to go to a doctor to check his hair loss problem during the rest time of the All-Star Weekend. Unexpectedly All of a sudden, it's an All-Star. It seems that the regular season is still a bit too good, and the team's record is almost catching up with the Suns.

Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis have been watching Ye Han and discussing how to get Ye Han to their team. It never occurred to them that Ye Han has no interest in going to Seattle. .

Among the All-Stars in the East, Iverson is like a lone ranger who rarely communicates with others, James makes friends everywhere, Okafor is also close to those seniors, Hill is a good guy, and Everyone has a good relationship. Ye Han would agree to anyone who talked to him. Arenas talked to him the most. The others just got to know each other.

O'Neal and Wade are the most envied among the All-Stars in the East. Although the All-Star votes were Waterloo, their team record is good!Although O'Neal's explosive power and so on have declined significantly compared to the peak, after losing weight, he tried his best to make up for this by relying on a stronger body.And even if he declines, he is still one of the league's top centers.Wade was an All-Star in his second year and was the centerpiece of a championship favorite, much to the envy of his friend James.But there are people who are more envious than James. Bosh and Anthony in the auditorium didn't even make the All-Star team, and they looked helplessly at a few friends wearing All-Star jerseys.

Bosh is okay, the data record is a bit far behind, but Anthony really can't think of a reason why he was not selected as an All-Star.

The other two All-Stars, Jermaine O'Neal and Ben Wallace, are the same as the two No. 21s in the West, two cold-faced men.

Jermaine O'Neill's baby face looked cute, but his eyes looked at Ben Wallace not far away with something called disgust.The latter is the same, aiming at Jermaine O'Neal with a fierce face.

The pair of super big men who fought in the Palace of Auburn Hills battle will never be friends.

Next to McGrady is Kobe, next to Kobe is Yao Ming, and next to the three of them is Carter. Carter has been very sad for the past two years. Yi escaped from Toronto and came to play next to super point guard Jason Kidd. Unexpectedly, the team was still outside the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

Arenas and Pierce exchanged something together. It seems that the relationship between the two is not bad. They are both from Los Angeles. The difference between the two entering the NBA is only two or three years, and they played against each other in junior high and high school.

There are too many activities before the All-Star Game, which are tedious and exhausting. No wonder coaches like Bo Povich sometimes want Duncan to pretend to be sick, but the league has long seen his "tricks". The regulations were issued, and the first game after the All-Star Game will be "injury observation" and will not be allowed to participate in the game.
