NBA: At the beginning, the Polish star was so angry that he was reborn

Historically, in the 2016-17 season, the Warriors and Spurs met in the Western Conference Finals.

In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Leonard took a shot from the bottom corner and was stepped on by Pachulia. This step directly changed the direction of the game.

The Spurs' defense overwhelmed the Warriors as they built a huge 23-point lead before Leonard was stepped on.

And when Leonard was stepped off the field, the Warriors, led by Curry, Klay Thompson and others, played an 18-2 climax. They lost the core Spurs on both offense and defense. After three quarters, the Warriors took the lead. was narrowed down to 9 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors Curry and Durant continued their aggressive offense.

With Durant's layup, the final score achieved a lead, 113 to 111, and the Spurs fell at the feet of the Warriors!

This step is fatal to Leonard and the Spurs!

That season, Leonard was reimbursed for the season!The following year, he missed almost the entire season!

At the same time, Leonard broke out in conflict with the Spurs, and then the Spurs completely disintegrated, and Leonard was traded to the Raptors!

Pachulia's stepping this time can be said to be based on the strength of one person, so that the Spurs started rebuilding directly.

Yi Tian doesn't want to change anything deliberately. If you aim to win the championship, you must be prepared to beat all teams.

Picking an opponent is often not far away.

It's just that Yi Tian hates such unsportsmanlike behaviors as Zhazha; secondly, it is also a good thing for the Nets to make the series between the Warriors and the Spurs more intense.

After defeating the Spurs, the Nets stabilized their ranking. They ranked third in the East after the Cavaliers and Raptors.

Even if the record is not as impressive as the previous two seasons, the Nets are still the most popular team, and their market value is second only to the two veteran giants, the Knicks and the Lakers.

The Nets have become a model of NBA team management. They win the championship by operating and cultivating rookies, rather than recruiting superstars.

It is worth mentioning that the Nets have not paid the luxury tax in the two years they have won the championship, and they have not paid this year either. They have made full use of the bonus of the rookie contract.

Without huge salary pressure, the Nets' revenue has reached a terrifying figure. They surpassed the Lakers to become the most profitable team in the NBA last year.

In an interview, Yi Tian said when talking about the team's record:

"Obviously our opponents have gotten stronger, so we need some changes as well.

Coach Brown is on the right track, and you can feel our young guys are making a lot of progress.

Of course, this will make our record fluctuate, but I think this is manageable.

Our goal is to be champions and that won't change. "

When the reporter asked about the importance of home court advantage.

Yi Tian replied: "With the support of the fans, we will be more motivated, there is no doubt about it.

However, even in the away game, it will not affect my performance.

You can look at the series in the last two seasons, no team can play with us to tiebreaker. "

About the MVP leaderboard.

Yi Tian said he didn't care, after all he already had 2.

When the time came to February, the NBA All-Star Game has always been a grand event in the league.

This year's competition was supposed to be held in Charlotte, but it turned out that North Carolina, where Charlotte is located, passed a law against homosexuality in March 2017-permitting the exclusion of gay groups in commercial activities.

The United States has always advertised freedom and democracy, and the passage of this plan has caused huge controversy.

The NBA expressed its attitude by announcing that New Orleans would replace Charlotte as the host of the All-Star Game.

In the three rounds of voting, Yi Tian was in the forefront, and only LeBron James had a higher vote than him.

Yi Tian easily won an All-Star starting spot, and the rest of the list is as follows:

Eastern Conference starters: LeBron James, Yi Tian, ​​Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan;

Eastern Subs: Isaiah Thomas, Kyle Lowry, Kemba Walker, John Wall, Paul George, Kevin Love, Paul Millsap.

Western Conference starters: Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis;

West bench: Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol, DeAndre- Jordan.

The Warriors became the biggest winners. They had four players selected to the All-Star lineup, of which Curry and Durant were the starters.

Their head coach Steve Kerr was successfully elected as the head coach of the Western All-Stars, and the universe deserves its reputation.

The Big Three of the Cavaliers are all selected, which is the second most selected team.

The Nets have only Yi Tian selected this year, and "Little Shark" Bynum is a little annoyed by this.

In the voting process, he almost squeezed Butler out of the Eastern Conference starting lineup, and he didn't even get a replacement.

"Little Shark" said he was not respected enough.

Some ball critics also analyzed that the reason why Bynum was not selected as an All-Star was because of the conflict with head coach Jason Kidd. Other coaches did not vote for Bynum in order to express their support for Kidd.

Due to the cancellation of the center position restriction in the All-Stars, it is only divided into three frontcourts and two backcourts.

This has led to a very deformed lineup in the East. Among the five starting players, there is no inside player; even in the 12-man roster, there are only two insiders, Love and Millsap.

Compared with the lineup in the West, it is relatively reasonable, and they have achieved a balance on the inside and outside.

Being selected as an All-Star is an affirmation of players, and countless young players are full of longing for this.

On the contrary, some famous players take this very lightly, and the All-Star is just an event for them.

This year's All-Star is also a year where the old and the new alternate, and the years will not hang on anyone.

With the retirement of Kobe Bryant, the 96 golden generation all withdrew from the stage of history.

Even in the 03 Platinum Generation, only LeBron James was selected.

Those former rulers, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, etc. were not selected.

The big waves washed the sand, and the NBA ushered in a new era.
