Chapter 207 All-Star List
Chapter 207 All-Star List
On February 2, the NBA officially announced the All-Star main game list and the list of various events.
All-Star starters:
East: Iverson, McGrady, Chen Mo, Carter and Big Ben.
West: Francis, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan and Yao Ming.
These two starting lineups are really weird, one is tall and the other is short.
The striker lineup composed of Yao Ming, Garnett and Duncan has an average height of nearly 220cm.
In the East, the tallest is McGrady at 203cm, and he is the only one with a height of more than 200cm.
Substitute lineup:
East: Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Artest, Michael Reed, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal and Brad Miller.
It turned out that Kenyon Martin and Jamal, who should have been selected as All-Stars, were dismissed.
No, when the list was first announced, the manager of the Nets immediately defended Kenyon Martin.
Kenyon Martin averaged 16.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season.
However, Brad Miller is not bad, averaging 14.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.
What's more, the Heat have a better record. Why the Nets can have two All-Stars, obviously the Heat are more suitable.
Then there's the slam dunk contest roster, which includes the Celtics' Ricky Davis, the Nuggets' Kris Anderson, the Pacers' Fred Jones, and defending champion Jason Richardson.
It's a pity that, except for Jason Richardson, who is a little famous, the others are really unknown.
It can be said that the only thing to watch in this slam dunk contest is whether Jason Richardson can break the record and win the slam dunk contest for three consecutive times?
The previous record was jointly maintained by Jordan and Richardson, who won the slam dunk contest for two consecutive years.
Then there is the skill challenge list, including Baron Davis of the Hornets, Fisher of the Lakers, Earl Boykins of the Nuggets, and Steve Marbury, who has moved to the Knicks but is not yet the political commissar of the horse.
The Skills Challenge was a project that entered the NBA All-Star period last year, and the first championship was won by Kidd.
What's interesting is that the skill challenge was held purely because the US team lost.
At the World Championships held in Indiana, the US team lost to Argentina and the former Yugoslavia.
Not only did the US team lose the championship, but it also ended the 58-game winning streak in the US Men's Basketball International Competition.
And the final No.6 result made all Americans and the NBA lose face.
So the NBA decided to add a skills challenge to the All-Star Weekend to prevent players from only focusing on confrontation and individual performances, thus ignoring basic skills training.
I always feel that the NBA is connoting the players of the Dream Team.
It's just interesting that since the establishment of the Skills Challenge, the US team has not only lost the World Championships, but also the Olympic champion.
Then there is the three-point contest list: Chen Mo, Chauncey Billups of the Pistons, Peja Stojakovic of the Kings, Mobley of Mosaic, Rashard Lewis of the Supersonics and Kyle Korver of the Numbers.
It has to be said that compared to the shabby dunk contest, whether it is the skill challenge or the three-point contest, the starlight is even brighter.
Logically speaking, the slam dunk contest attracts more attention, and participating in the slam dunk contest attracts more attention.
No way, since Carter, the slam dunk contest has been elevated too much, and stars are generally unwilling to participate.
After participating in the competition, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be compared with Carter, and it is often not comparable.
Under such circumstances, all well-known stars are basically unwilling to do so.
Chen Mo is quite willing to participate in the slam dunk contest, after all, after watching so many slam dunk contests, he still has a lot of ideas.
It's a pity that being creative may not be possible, as far as his current bounce is, he is just thinking about it.
Wait until next year, or the year after, when he adds up the bounce, maybe he can give it a try.
At that time, James, Wade, and Anthony will be finally encouraged to participate in a brotherly dunk contest, laying the foundation for future brotherly dunks.
Finally, the All-Star Rookie Game,
Freshman Team: Mo Chen, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Kirk Hinrich, Josh Howard, Chris Kaman, Dwyane Wade
Sophomore Team: Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy, Manu Ginobili, Marko Jaric, Ronald Murray, Nene Hilario, Tayshaun Prince, Amare Stoudemire, Yao Ming.
Originally, Caron Butler was also selected for the second-year team, but because of injury, he simply gave up and was selected by Marko Jaric instead.
What's interesting is that last year, as a rookie, Yao Ming was selected as an All-Star, so he gave up the rookie game.
It's the same this year, already a sophomore, he was once again selected for the All-Star Game, and became a player of the sophomore team in the rookie game.
To put it bluntly, Yao Ming was selected as an All-Star last year, which made some people very upset, so Yao Ming simply gave up the rookie game.
It was the No. [-] pick again, and it was the All-Star starter, enough of the limelight, so Yao Ming took the initiative to take a step back.
After all, the NBA does not stipulate that if you participate in the NBA main game, you must give up the Rookie Challenge.
Of course, you can voluntarily give up, such as Duncan back then.
What's interesting is that I didn't participate in the All-Star Rookie Game last year, why should I participate this year?
The main reason is that he knows that Chen Mo will also participate.
The situation is like this, originally Yao Ming wanted to persuade Chen Mo to give up the rookie competition, but Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng would definitely destroy him.
It's just that this is Yao Ming's oriental thinking, but it's not a Westerner's way of thinking.
From the perspective of Westerners, why should I give up the opportunities I got with my strength?
Moreover, participating in the All-Star Game as a rookie is destined not to get too many opportunities, so he can only play in the rookie game.
In the end, instead of persuading Chen Mo, Yao Ming was fooled by Chen Mo and lost his way.
Chen Mo remembered that in this year's rookie competition, Yao Ming also performed quite unsatisfactorily.
He made 4 shots and scored 6 points and 5 rebounds.
What is said on the surface is that Yao Ming is not suitable for an arena like the All-Stars, and there is still an All-Stars game to play, so he did not try his best.
In fact, it was the American players headed by Stoudemire who were rejecting Yao Ming.
It was enough to be robbed of the No. [-] pick by an outsider, but he was able to make the All-Star starter for two consecutive years. Why?
Chen Mo wouldn't believe that the players in the same class didn't have any ideas, and probably Yao Ming wouldn't believe it either.
Then he simply does not fight or grab.
Even if it wasn't because someone deliberately tandem with Yao Ming to reject Yao Ming, everyone had similar thoughts and formed a tacit understanding.
This is the best, the rookie game MVP is a good award.
Of course, relying on Chen Mo alone, it is not so easy for the first grade to beat the second grade team.
It seems that brother basketball has to be started in advance.
Before going to Los Angeles, Chen Mo still connected James and Anthony by phone, and they will get together at that time.
Although it's only the All-Star rookie game, everyone doesn't want to lose. Of course it's best to win.
What's more, if they are called the golden generation, if they lose to last year's rookies, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Chen Mo, Brad Miller, and Haslem came to Los Angeles together. Brad Miller is okay and can take a good rest.
Chen Mo can't do it, he has to rush to the market non-stop, and he is indispensable for various business activities.
Haslem and Brad Miller also have business activities, but compared to Chen Mo, they are too leisurely.
Moreover, this is Los Angeles, and he, who only led UCLA to the championship last year, is definitely half home.
Ever since, not only commercial activities, but also NBA promotional activities, he is also indispensable.
I revised the last chapter, but I forgot to change the title. Now it seems that the title can’t be changed, so let’s just wait and see! ! !
