Chapter 270 The mystery is revealed
At the critical moment, Shaquille O'Neal of the Lakers lost the chain, and his toe arthritis relapsed. He had to say goodbye to the 2002 All-Star Game and missed part of the regular season for 2-3 weeks.

Naturally, Chinese fans would still vote for Yao Ming, and more American neutral fans voted for Dayao one after another. After all, no matter how good a star can't play, he won't play. Wouldn't it be a waste to vote for him.

The Warriors have played all the games before the All-Star Game, and the Lakers still have one more game. They played at home against the Chicago Bulls, the bottom of the Eastern Conference. In 2002, the Lakers without Shaquille O'Neal, I really can't watch it.

The Bulls, the last deputy squad leader in the East, their players are not weak, Kevin Ollie, Mehta Waldpiss, Brad Miller, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Robinson started, and there were Marcus Fizer, Trenton Hassell and many other good players on the bench. The player cards held by the Bulls are definitely not the worst player cards in the league.

Tyson Chandler played the NBA contract for 17 seasons. The total salary of his career is close to 7 million US dollars. He is 1 feet 2 inch tall, 16 meters 240 and weighs [-] pounds. Later, he helped Nowitzki win the He won the championship and also won the best defensive player DPOY.

Brad Miller later played very well in the Kings. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 pounds. He was also selected to the All-Star team in the next two seasons. The total salary of his 244-year career is nearly 14 million. He is quite a powerful insider. players.

My Great Lakers Kobe led the team independently in the 2001-2002 season. To be honest, he was almost meaningless. Even though he tried his best to prove himself, he played for more than 40 minutes and made 26 of 14 shots. He scored 38 points and 8 rebounds, and only had one assist. It can be seen how weak his teammates are.

Except for Kobe, the player with the most points for the Lakers is a Ukrainian player. Stanislav Medvedenko scored 9 points on 5 of 11 shots. The rest of the Lakers players are sleepwalking, and no one can score double figures , It is strange that the Lakers do not lose.

The final score was 97:89. The Lakers lost at home to the Bulls, the deputy leader of the East. This actually made many Los Angeles media and fans feel very dissatisfied. If they lost to a strong team, O'Neal was absent. Bull, what does this mean?

Eastern teams generally feel weak, and they may not be able to enter the playoffs if they just take one to the Western Conference. In this way, the famous OK combination of the Lakers lost without any suspense. The pressure Kobe had to face was enormous. One can imagine how big it is.

Carefully analyzing Kobe's data, he shot 53.8% from the field and made 10 of 9 free throws. He also grabbed rebounds and did dirty work, and he was desperately carrying the banner on the offensive end. His teammates are too scumbags. Regardless of these, if the OK combination O is not there, you will lose if you can't do K, it's as simple as that.

In the end, the NBA All-Star voting ended, and the All-Star starting lineups of the East and West were determined. The East center was Alonzo Mourning of the Heat, the forward All-Star ticket king was Vince Carter of the Raptors and Walker of the Celtics. There is no doubt that Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the Wizards, and Allen Iverson of the popular idol 76ers.

The competition in the Western Conference was extremely fierce. The starting center Yao Ming won in the end with a small advantage. Although the Sharks were not able to participate in the competition, they were selected as the starters from the bench. The popularity and reputation are very different.

O'Neal was injured at the last moment and the number of votes stagnated. More than 124 million votes were originally second only to the Raptors leader Carter with 147 million votes. If there is no Yao Ming, he will be the NBA All-Star Western Conference leader.

However, Dayao landed in the NBA one year ahead of schedule, and his popularity in Shenzhou naturally brought him to the United States. The soaring votes at the last moment allowed Yao Ming to get more than 130 million votes, tens of thousands of votes more than Shaquille O'Neal .

In the foreseeable next few seasons, as long as Yao Ming is not injured, it will be very difficult for Shaquille O'Neal to regain the NBA All-Star starting position in the Western Conference, unless he is no longer in the Western Conference. Well, there is still a possibility.

There is no suspense for the forwards in the Western Conference. Kevin Garnett, the wolf king of the Timberwolves with the most expensive contract in the NBA, has 88 votes. He'll make $2240 million pretax, $2520 million next season and $2800 million the following season.

You must know that Shaquille O'Neal, who has made great contributions to the Lakers dynasty, is only a 7-year contract of 1.22 million U.S. dollars, while high school student Kevin Garnett has not fully proved himself, but he got a 6-year 1.26 million super contract. The contract, James Duncan's big contract in the next few years, is still not as good as Garnett's. It is conceivable how many players will be jealous and crazy.

Followed by the Spurs Stone Buddha Duncan with 76 votes, there are also many fans, followed by the current king of the Kings Chris Webber with 55 votes, and then Maverick Nowitzki with 39 votes.

At the last moment, with the support of Chinese fans, the Warriors Jermaine O'Neal overtook Kings marksman Peja Stojakovic. A large part of his 37 votes came from mainland China. After all, this season he is Playing in the Warriors, he is not an absolute main force, sometimes he will come off the bench, and the data will be affected after all.

Peja Stojakovic of the Kings got 32 votes, which is not low. He can be selected as an All-Star in the East, but there are so many stars in the West. He has to accept that he cannot be an All-Star player. Status, to participate in the 2002 All-Star Game.

There is no suspense in the starting lineup of the Western Conference guards. The Warriors' Huadan McGrady and the Lakers' young player Kobe Bryant will start together. The voices of the mainstream media still firmly believe that McGrady relied on the help of Chinese fans to beat Kobe's 113 million votes with 112 million votes.

Another tragic figure is the Suns point guard Marbury. Due to too many star guards in the West, Francis of the Rockets got 45 votes, Gary Payton of the Sonics got 36 votes, and Finley of the Mavericks got 29 votes. One ticket, qualified for the Western Conference All-Star.

Marbury got 29 votes, and lost the All-Star seat with only an extremely small gap of more than 7112 votes. This has to be said to make him very depressed. A big contract will be completely different from the treatment to the bottom line. The NBA also pays attention to the work. The so-called work is just an NBA All-Star or a championship ring.

On the evening of February 2002, 2, American Eastern Time, the 10-2001 NBA All-Star Game will be held at the Wells Fargo Center Stadium, home of the Philadelphia 2002ers. This is a super arena that can accommodate more than 76 fans, 21600 The capacity of spectators ranks second in the entire NBA league.
