Originally, this shrunken season was very dull, except for Sun Ce's highlight performance, Kobe Bryant, Durant and Anthony's scoring title competition, there seemed to be nothing else very special to watch.

The schedule is too tight, every star is busy every day, there is too little time to rest, the next opponent will come in a day, and even have to fly in a row to challenge other opponents, how can he have the heart to compete with such and such a star, except that Durant is jealous of Sun Ce.

But in February, all of a sudden, Lin Crazy was born, and at least 95% of NBA fans didn't know who Jeremy Lin was, and in just a dozen days, he had become a household name.

Sun Ce stepped in sideways, stealing some of the limelight, but also made Jeremy Lin more famous.

When Sun Ce's seven-game winning streak ended the first half of the season and Jeremy Lin's eight-game winning streak ended the first half of the season, fans had a rough summary of their performances during this period.

Sun Ce's personal performance far surpassed Lin Madness, there is no doubt that Sun Ce's last four wins were against the Nuggets, Thunder, Spurs, and 76ers, and it was 4 games in 5 days, and during the seven-game winning streak, Sun Ce got 3 triple-doubles.

In terms of data, in terms of the gold content of the team's winning streak, Sun Ce is stronger than Lin Crazy.

However, in terms of legend, Sun Ce's performance during this period was not comparable to Lin Madness.

The speed of the explosion is too fast, in less than a week, Lin Crazy has become popular all over the world, and ten days later, Lin Crazy appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, which is faster and more ferocious than the speed of Sun Ce's popularity in the 09-10 season.

If you want to talk about the current popularity and who performs better and who is more dazzling in the hearts of fans, after seven consecutive wins, fans will choose Sun Ce.

But who brought the more shock, it must be Lin Crazy.

Generally speaking, in terms of competition alone, Sun Ce attracted less attention than Lin Madness, and indeed Lin Madness was like a crack in a stone, a shock-shattering performance.

However, on the first day after the end of the first half of the season, Sun Ce overshadowed Lin Madness.

"My Prosperous Beauty" became popular all over the world, and when translated into English, it was translated as "I-have-the-most-handsome-face-in-the-world", which caused the whole people to complain.

It is said that many Chinese fans have seen the interview footage while eating lunch and couldn't help but curse the street; A number of American fans couldn't eat after seeing last night's interview while eating breakfast; There are some family husbands and wives who are short-tempered, and when they see this interview picture, they can't suppress the nameless fire in their hearts, causing family conflicts, and they are sent to the police station in a family fight......

The Internet is frantically complaining, and the commentators of the TV station are also complaining in some programs, and the news hosts can't help but laugh......

In terms of the race, Sun Ce's limelight failed to completely overshadow Lin Madness, but in terms of topicality, Sun Ce's sight overtook in the corner.

……

At 6 o'clock in the evening on February 23, 2012, the NBA officially announced that Sun Ce's second technical foul last night was canceled, and the first technical foul was determined to be no problem.

In fact, when Gai announced another thing at 12 noon, he could have announced the cancellation of Sun Ce's second technical foul at the same time, but the league seemed to hesitate and announced it on the official website in the evening.

At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced that Jeremy Lin was selected for the All-Star Rookie Game as an exception, and the rookie game roster had already been announced on February 16.

In the sophomore side, Griffin, Wall, Cousins, Avery Bradley, Paul George, Monroe, Hayward, Turner, and Derek Favors made a total of nine selections.

On the rookie team, Irving, Rubio, Klay Thompson, Kemba Walker, Norris Cole, Markieff Morris, Derrick Williams, Marshon Brooks, Tristan Thompson made the selection, a total of 9 people were selected.

Jeremy Lin is also a second-year player, and in the 2010 draft, when Jeremy Lin had just led the team to three consecutive wins, it had already begun to become popular, but it was not to the point where the assistant coaches of each team voted for the second-year team lineup of the All-Star Rookie Game, and not many people voted for Jeremy Lin.

Now, Jeremy Lin has been made an exception to become the 10th player on the sophomore team.

However, the rookie team also made an exception to select Kawhi Leonard in the All-Star Rookie Game, leveling the lineups of the two sides, as for the selection of Leonard...... There is no one to choose from in the 11th class, and there are future counterattacks, but now there are really 10 people, 9 people are enough, Kerr, Tristan Thompson, Derrick Williams and others have all been selected.

At the same time, it was announced that the head coach of the rookie team is Charles Barkley, and the head coach of the sophomore team is O'Neal.

The NBA has also made it clear that Jeremy Lin was not selected as an All-Star player by any of the fans, the coaching staff, or the president of the league.

This frustrated some of Lin's die-hard fans, but Lin's die-hard fans are not necessarily Jeremy Lin's fans.

Lin Madness has become a phenomenal representative event, and many people admire Jeremy Lin's performance at this stage, not Jeremy Lin himself.

But it also made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and many people said on the Internet that if Jeremy Lin was selected for the All-Star Game by exception, they would eat keyboard kneeling durian.

……

The All-Star weekend holiday began, Sun Ce was busier, starting from 7 o'clock in the morning, interviewed by 5 TV media in a row, in the afternoon, went to the platform for AJ's sneaker press conference, another retro sneaker, after busy with commercial activities, he also participated in the contract renewal talks with AJ with Bill Duffy, the price could not be negotiated, and it was postponed for the time being, and after Bill Duffy ended the talks with AJ, he went to pick up other offers.

Bill Duffy told Sun Ce not to worry, this matter will come slowly, there is time to talk, and it is still early before the official expiration of the contract on July 1.

I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so Sun Ce waited patiently.

After a busy day, on the morning of the 24th, Sun Ce flew to Miami with Zu Ge and Lily Collins, the most well-known city on the South Coast, tomorrow the All-Star Rookie Game will start in Orlando, that is to say, tomorrow's All-Star Weekend has begun, the time is so tight, the 22nd will end the first half of the season, and the 25th to the 27th will be the All-Star Weekend.

However, All-Star Weekend is held in Orlando, and many of Sun Ce's business activities are held in Miami.

Although most of the endorsements are about to expire this summer, Sun Ce's professionalism is still very good, and the sneaker publicity activities and endorsements of various brands are not lazy because the contract is about to expire, and they are very hard-working.

It also included the promotion of his own peripheral brand, and also went to broadcast a half-hour live broadcast of basketball training for the mobile phone live broadcast section of the short video app Kuaiyin.

I was busy until noon on the 25th, and I got the publicity on Miami here, and Zu Gees, Lily Collins, John, Bill Duffy and Scarlett Johansson, who also came to Miami to have an All-Star weekend heat, flew to Orlando, and when I arrived in Orlando, Sun Ce went to participate in the makeup photo shoot of the All-Star Game players, the time was really tight, and the league had to consider the commercial activities of some popular stars, and the time was compressed.

At half past six in the evening, Sun Ce ended his busy schedule, took the girl to eat something simply, and couldn't eat anything after a long time of busyness, and came to the New Amway Center in Orlando at half past seven to watch tonight's All-Star Rookie Challenge.

Sun Ce has participated in this competition in the past two years, and won the MVP of the rookie game twice, which is basically an unbreakable record.

There are really a lot of stars watching the rookie game tonight, mainly young players who are concerned by a few bigwigs, and the most interesting thing is the duel between Wall and Irving.

However, the most popular matchup in the online survey is indeed the matchup between Paul George and Klay Thompson.

Walga Paul George vs Irving plus Klay Thompson, quite caught the attention of fans, after all, he is the best point guard and the best pitcher combination in the same class so far.

After Sun Ce arrived at the scene, he came to the field to greet the two teammates who had just entered.

"Paul, you don't want to lose to a rookie, but why do I think you're going to lose?" Sun Ce quipped to Paul George.

"How is that possible? I hit more three-pointers than him! Paul George replied.

Indeed, Paul George averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game this season, a little more than Klay Thompson's 1.6 three-pointers, and was the most three-pointers on the Grizzlies team, and his shooting percentage increased from 32.9 percent last season to 38.6 percent, and only averaged 0.8 three-pointers per game last season.

At this time, the Buddha's faint voice came: "I have a better hit rate." ”

"......" Paul George felt a critical attack and retorted: "I was defending too hard, playing too hard, and it affected the feeling. ”

Compared to Paul George's fierce reaction, Clay is very calm: "I also work hard defensively......"

Paul George really can't refute this, the two of them do work defense and shooting.

Also in the limited playing time to defend and shoot hard, the three-point shooting rate of Klay is 41 percent, and at the beginning of the season, Klay Xiaobrother's three-point shooting rate was as high as 46 percent, and then slowly declined, once falling below 40%, during which he also suffered injuries, but after the last seven consecutive wins, he returned to more than 40% three-point shooting rate, and the average three-point shooting per game has also increased from 1.4 before the injury to 1.6.

Paul George is certainly better than Klay in many ways, such as his ability to handle the ball and his better passing, and he has been able to provide 1.5 assists in 24 minutes of playing time this season, while Klay Thompson has averaged 19 minutes per game and played in 26 games, totaling just nine assists.

But in terms of three-point points, Clay's brother is indeed more talented, but Paul George refuses to admit defeat, three-point training is very hard, and he plays very hard, at least in terms of hits, he is still better than Klay's brother for the time being.

Seeing the two bickering, Sun Ce didn't stop it, but said: "Quarrel, fight!" Come on, Paul, you're taller and should be able to beat Clay. ”

“……”

“……”

The two of them looked at the unreliable third brother speechlessly, and they were actually looking forward to them fighting at this time? Or not a pro-teammate?

Sun Ce doesn't mind the competition between the two, obviously, the competition between the two is benign, Paul George should share the ball to Klay Thompson in the game, Klay Thompson will not deliberately fail to shoot because it is Paul George passed the ball to him, but as always, he will do his best to show his ability.

It's good for the team to work together like this.

As for Paul George's development towards a pure 3-and-D player, he almost always chooses to pass the ball when he has to hold the ball and has no shooting opportunities...... Sun Ce can't control this situation, and this is very much in line with his needs for small forwards or scoring guard teammates, why should he "correct" it, maybe Paul George is more suitable as a 3-and-D ...... Anyway, he needs such teammates even more.

Actually, Sun Ce didn't know, this was the management clearly revealed Sun Ce's attitude of not wanting to grow up with a ball-holding outside to Paul George's agent Pelinka, Pelinka did not directly say that this was Sun Ce's request, if there was a conflict within the Grizzlies, it would definitely be Paul George, he just suggested that Paul George develop in this direction, strive to become an important member of the Grizzlies, and win the championship together.

And Paul George does have a talent for this and is doing a good job, and at only a sophomore, he has a chance to be selected for the second defense.

After arguing with the two little brothers, Sun Ce looked at the players of the two teams, and he only knew that Wall and Irving were the captains of the two teams, and the matchup between Paul George and Klay Thompson was very concerned, and he also heard that Jeremy Lin and Leonard were made an exception to the rookie game.

But Jeremy Lin saw that this popular fried chicken was being interviewed, and Sun Ce didn't have an interview here, after all, Jeremy Lin was going to participate in tonight's game.

But on Leonard's side, Sun Ce saw him wearing a suit......

Hurt again?

Sun Ce remembers that there are only a handful of seasons in which Leonard has played more than 70 times in his career, and basically he can only play less than 80% of the games in each season.

After greeting the two teammates, Sun Ce and other first- and second-year players greeted each other, hugged each other regardless of whether they were familiar with each other, and took a group photo under the camera of the TV station......

After the greetings, Sun Ce returned to the sidelines and sat down, listening to the chatting of the girls, Scarlett Johansson and Lily Collins are actually quite familiar, it is said that after meeting in the playoffs last year, they became acquainted, Sun Ce wanted to find a female companion to go to Kobe's dinner, or Scarlett Johansson told Sun Ce that Lily Collins was free.

After a while, it was almost 8 o'clock, and James, Wade, Yao Ming, and Nowitzki, who had made an appointment to watch the game together, also came to the seat next to him, and Randolph, Gasol Jr., Nash, Battier and others came to the scene to cheer for the two teammates, and other All-Stars, Rondo, Hibbert, Love, and Stoudemire also came.

After chatting, Sun Ce found some things, some of the giants who came to the scene to watch the game were not just here to watch the game, especially James, who cherished the college resumes, performance and technical characteristics of the young players on the court.

In particular, he is very optimistic about Klay Thompson and Paul George, two Grizzlies players who have the potential to become the strongest 3D players, and is full of envy when chatting with Sun Ce.

This made Sun Ce feel a sense of crisis, this member of the dance troupe, wants to dig him into the corner?

However, when it came to the game, James was cheering for Irving and Griffin, and every time Irving broke through beautifully, he split the ball or made a layup, and Griffin's extremely conscious cuts and blockings could make James stand up and cheer.

This made Sun Ce see some eyebrows, James's heart, and passers-by knew it...... But it doesn't matter, since James left the Cavaliers for the first time, he can have giant teammates wherever he goes, and he doesn't need to worry about what will happen in the future, the future will be left to the future, and playing against all kinds of opponents, and then trying to beat them, is what Sun Ce is most excited about.

In the end, relying on Irving's 34 points and 9 assists, plus Klay Thompson's 7 three-pointers, the rookie team defeated the sophomore team led by Paul George, who had 26 points and 9 assists.

144-130, the rookie team won.

……

During this year's All-Star Weekend, Sun Ce had some regrets, the previous games were too tight, and he didn't have time to think about having fun, such as the performance of a dance troupe or orchestra, and there was no way.

On the 26th, the day of the eventing competition, several promotional activities of Sun Ce's Orlando took up the daytime again, and the same was true for James and Kobe, and even Randolph and Gasol Jr. and Nash had several endorsement activities.

After a busy day, in the evening, Sun Ce came to see the three-point contest featuring Klay Thompson, Paul George, and former teammate Anthony Morrow, and watched several other games along the way.

In terms of shooting stars, Bosh is invincible, two consecutive championships!

In the Skills Challenge, Rondo won the championship with a time of 34.2 seconds.

In terms of the three-point competition, Sun Ce's three current teammates and former teammates have been out of the first round, and the three of them don't seem to be able to shoot without defense, and Mo Luo, who has the best score, only threw 11 and scored 14 points; Clay scored 5 goals and scored 9 points, almost tying the historical record of Boss Joe, but fortunately he finally stabilized, and the last 3 shots were all hit, and the first four groups of shots were shot by Klay and only scored 5 points, if the last group did not make all...... Boss Qiao sighed in front of the TV and ......; Paul George had 11 points.

In the end, no one expected that it was Lefou, the power forward, who won the three-point king, and he and Durant both scored 16 points in the finals, and the overtime championship score was 17 points, defeating Durant with 14 points.

From this point, it can be seen that this year's All-Star Weekend is too tight, and everyone is not in good shape.

The last event to get the most attention, but also probably the most overlooked, was the Slam Dunk Contest, in which Paul George participated in the ...... A posture of going to all the games he can participate in before he made it to the All-Star list, but once again he went out early, and Jeremy Evans, the Jazz's 10-year second-round pick, won the slam dunk contest.

After the first two days of All-Star Weekend, it's finally time for the All-Star Game!
