Build a Dream Dynasty

On February 25, the Rookie Challenge began, and the rookie team led by Charles Barkley defeated the rookie team led by Shaquille O'Neal 146-133. The No. 1 draft pick Kyrie Irving scored 34 points and 9 assists, made 8 of 8 three-pointers, and was elected the best player of the game. With his strength, he proved that his teammates in the NBA are different! Paul George scored 23 points. Although his performance was not as dazzling as Irving, who has been selected for the All-Star game, who would care too much about the honor of the rookie game?

Among the other Nets players participating in the rookie game, Bledsoe was limited by his style of play and position (too many point guard talents), and only got 12 minutes of playing time. It can be seen that he is not very concerned about the performance of the All-Star Game. He just made 5 shots with the intensity of training, hit 3 goals, and only scored 7 points.

Such players are quite popular with their coaches. After all, from the perspective of coaches, they also hope that their players will save their physical strength and perform better in official games.

Of course, from the perspective of the general manager, on this matter. Jiang Mingliang may not be of the same mind as Stevens. After all, having an All-Star on the team makes it much easier to sell tickets.

On February 26, the All-Star Weekend continued. In the Shooting Star Contest, the New York team led by pitcher Alan Houston won the championship. A lot of progress has been made in all aspects. From their operation to Anthony, to strengthening the defense and introducing Chandler, and even hooking up with JR Smith, who is in the CBA and is in the NBA, you can see the "motivation" of this team. However, there is no such thing as self-motivation. In the final analysis, the passion for the unparalleled will only exist in comics, movies, business alliances, and professional operation is the way to win.

The winner of the Skills Challenge goes to Tony Parker of the Spurs. Each point guard showed his ability, but the two hottest players Kyrie Irving played abnormally in the preliminaries and was out in the bottom, which was a surprise, and the preliminaries sent the defending champion Deron Williams in 28.8 seconds in the final. The shooting was a big inaccuracy, and in the end, Parker picked up the championship of this skill challenge with a not-so-great result.

Although it is the one with the least attention among the three competitions, at the same time, the Skills Challenge is also the competition with the strongest star flavor. The participating point guard players are all All-Star or quasi-All-Star players, and the coffee position is still relatively high. of. In the next three-point contest, although Durant and Love were also in the lead, the overall star flavor was a lot lighter. Like the skill contest, the three-point shot contest is also a wonderful preliminaries, and the finals are lackluster. In the case of Durant and Love both throwing 16 points, the defending champion Jones actually only throws 12 points, which is shocking.

In the end, the PK between Love and Durant was also a rookie pecking at each other, without quotation marks. Love's 17-point score was not even able to enter the finals in the past, but Durant returned with a 14-point gift to put The three-point king surrendered, once again proving that he is an actual three-point shooter, and the three-point contest is not suitable for him.

As for the slam dunk contest, it can only be played dead by the league. Griffin's ability to fly a car without difficulty and win the championship is simply speechless. This year's competition continues to be based on the theme of salute and leap. The Jazz flew Evans over the fans wearing Malone's jerseys, which fit the theme. Two themes also took away the last dunk king.

How to reform the All-Star game has become the focus of David Stern, Adam Silver and other management's next work. If this goes on, the All-Star will be less and less interesting!

The All-Star Game also presented a situation that bored the audience. The players played too much with each other, and everyone seemed to be participating in a networking event. This is the meaning of the All-Star itself, and it is from the team's perspective. Lai would like to save some effort from his own players, but in the game, the players should not behave like this. The only player who really plays seriously is Westbrook, and his seriousness is not reflected in the game, but he does his best to help Durant win the All-Star MVP. The end result is what you want, but what does this prove?

It's for fans, but not for fans, and that's what All-Stars are right now.

. . . . . . .

No one but the fans will care about the outcome of the All-Star Weekend, but when the All-Star Weekend is over, the real action begins!

The first is the trade deadline after the All-Star break.

Taking advantage of the trade deadline, all teams in the league are carrying out major trade reinforcements.

The biggest trade was between the Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers. The Brazilian center Nene moved to the Wizards, the Nuggets got the Wizards' defensive center JaVale McGee (Weibo), and the Clippers got the Wizards guard Nick Young, known as the "Shadow Singles King".

After the lockout period, the Nuggets signed a 3-year, 39 million contract with Nene. However, the Nuggets regretted that the contract had not been fulfilled for a season. The Wizards couldn't bear McGee's repeated "brain-neck behavior" for a long time. The two sides hit it off and pulled the Clippers to complete a three-way deal. The gold team, going further and further down the road of the Denver track and field team.

Jiang Mingliang's Nets team kept a low profile during this period and did not make any transactions. He politely declined even the Curry trade offered by the Warriors, which he was very tempted to do.

Now is not the time to talk about this!

Before All-Star Weekend, the league's 30 teams generally have played 40 games, and after the All-Star Weekend, the next game is 26 games. The schedule pressure will be slightly higher than before the All-Star Game.

These 26 games will determine which 16 teams will participate in the playoffs this season.

The lower-ranked teams will start fighting for playoff tickets, and the top-ranked teams won't be too comfortable.

The playoffs are based on ranking order. The team with a better record will face a correspondingly weaker opponent. For example, in the third battle between the Nets and Celtic Rao in the East, whoever can win, who In the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, you can avoid the relatively difficult Orlando Magic and face the relatively easy Atlanta Hawks.

Teams with superstars will always perform better in the playoffs. Howard's lethality is really not a "shark hacking tactic" that can be completely blocked. Otherwise, he will not be here.

However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. After the All-Star Game, the Nets suffered a three-game losing streak.

Losing to the Washington Wizards on the road, Nene, who had just joined the team, completely suppressed West, who had come back from injury, with excellent data of 28+9, smashing the Nets' inside line. Although there is no hope for the playoffs this season, the Wizards should be able to perform well next season after they are completely out of the way.

Losing to the Celtics at home directly tied the Nets' record to the other side, and because of the relationship between wins and losses, they ranked behind Celtic Rao. Before entering the playoffs, the Celtic Rao veterans began to gradually exert their strength and defeated the Nets with a hand-to-hand encounter.

Against the Pacers at home, Paul George, who had a poor performance in the first two games, continued his poor hand, which also seriously affected the team’s offensive gambling output, and Hibbert’s brilliance in the Nets’ interior was also really impressive. This brought Jiang Mingliang and Stevens' confidence in Camby to the bottom. Stevens officially made adjustments. In the next season, Baines will replace Camby as the team's starting center!
