Chapter 1028 [Blessing in Disguise, Mutual Passion]

Bryant became the second starting guard in the West, winning 840,000 votes over Paul, which shows that the high-scoring style of play attracts fans.

No matter how bad the team's record is, as long as Kobe Bryant can compete for the scoring title, his popularity will not be bad. Paul is characterized by being steady, always averaging around 20 points per game, and not many 30 points per game.

The other two starters in the West are the Thunder's Al Horford and the Clippers' Blake Griffin.

It was a surprise that Horford was able to become a starter, Love and Howard both played in the East, Aldridge's Trail Blazers record was outside the playoffs, and the West lacked a good interior line.

Brook Lopes has a good record, his style of play does not attract fans, and he is not popular. Spurs Duncan's stats are average, floor flow play, and the support rating is low. The Grizzlies Gasol brothers' stats have slipped and their record is only eighth in the West, and their popularity is not high.

Horford was the starter with only 550,000 votes. When Westbrook was injured, people found out that Horford, who had increased his shots, was such a fierce inside line, capable of inside and out. He averaged 17.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

When commenting on the Thunder's game, Guo Xu praised Horford and helped him get a lot of votes.

Western Conference Bench Seven: Paul, Harden, Lopez, Duncan, Anthony Davis, Roy, Klay Thompson.

Hornets' Kyrie Irving didn't make the All-Star selection, and although he averaged 20.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game in the mid-term period, the media and fans generally believed he was overrated.

As a point guard, Irving is not good at controlling the tempo and leading the team's offense, and his style of play is more like that of a shooting guard. He shot just 43 percent from the field and 35.8 percent from three-point range.

He averaged 35 minutes per game, 17.4 shots for 20.8 points, and a true shooting percentage of just 53.3 percent, which is really not a big deal. When he first entered the league, Irving's template was Paul, and many people said that he would become Guo Xu's successor, and now many people say that he is like Kobe Bryant who shoots less and is on three-point accuracy.

In the past, people would admire Irving's style of player, but now people find it difficult to lead the team to win, and they are outside the tactical system and need specific teammates to play.

This year, Owen also did something that caused 6 billion pot secrets to be disgusted, he filmed a creative commercial for Pepsi "Uncle Drew", pretending to be an old man to play streetball.

Guo Xu once pretended to be an old man on the Great Wall in 2001 and went head-to-head with Kobe Bryant, leaving a good story, Owen filmed this advertisement, and PepsiCo was suspected of plagiarizing ideas.

Pepsi Cola wanted to find Guo Xu to shoot an advertisement, he looked for it many years ago, and Guo Xu didn't shoot it no matter how high the endorsement price was, his reason was very simple, he didn't drink carbonated drinks, and he couldn't shoot advertisements to deceive fans.

Guo Xu tweeted that he didn't mind Owen's ad using this idea, but the pot secrets didn't buy it.

The most popular in the East is LeBron James, and the other four starters are Wade, Wall, Love, and Howard.

The Wizards' record has improved this season, and both the inside and outside duo have played good statistics.

The Knicks' stats for Stoudamire slipped sharply, with only 18 points and 7.4 rebounds. Once Xiao Si's physical fitness declines, his form will decline seriously, and with his average defensive ability, he will not be able to get another big contract.

Subs seven: Deron Williams, Nowitzki, Stoudmayre, Joakin Noah, Carmelo Anthony, Damian Lillard, Paul Millsap.

The Nets had three All-Star selections, and as soon as Kobe Bryant left and Nowitzki arrived, Delon was resurrected. He averaged 17.8 points, 3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game while shooting 45% from the field and 36.6% from three-point range.

Last season, Delon was a blessing in disguise because he didn't have the ball, and he played a season of healthy basketball as a fixed-point pitcher, and healed his ankle injury.

It is worth mentioning that in 2012, Delong was already plagued by ankle injuries, and both ankles were problematic. In addition, the president of the United States Basketball Association, Colangelo, has also publicly criticized Delon for being overweight, and he has a great burden.

In Guo Xu's previous life, in the 2012-13 season, Delong played at least three closed needles and insisted on playing, and as a defender, the wear and tear of his ankles was accumulated over time. DeLong persevered through the 2013-2014 season because the Nets needed him if they wanted to win the championship. It was only after the season that Delon had surgery on both legs and ankles, and he has been slumped ever since.

If Delon had worked hard last season, he would have been out of the way in no time, and now he is lucky to have escaped.

On the first day of the celebrity weekend, major media outlets reported big news one after another, because Howard and Kobe Bryant were passionate about each other.

They didn't end up last season, and the feud can actually be traced back to Warcraft's rookie season in 2004.

On November 13, 2004, Howard played the sixth game of his career against the Lakers. 2 minutes and 31 seconds before the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant used Odom's cover to get rid of Magic players Stevenson and Garriti and hit the inside. In the face of Howard's supplementary defense, Kobe Bryant was undaunted and jumped hard to complete the one-handed split, while Howard was pressed by Kobe Bryant under the crotch.

The "monster" leaned, staggered, and almost fell. Kobe's dunk on Howard can be said to be one of the best dunks of his career, and of course it is one of the most humiliating shots of Howard's career.

As soon as he arrived in New Orleans this time, Howard posted a photo of himself "riding a buckle" Kobe Bryant on social networking sites, and wrote: "Maybe only Kobe Bryant can prevent me, but look at the expressions of Harris and Blair, haha!" ”

Just a month ago, the Mavericks were slaughtered by the Nets for 32 points, and Howard allegedly dunked Kobe Bryant in the second quarter.

Why do you say suspicious? Because Kobe Bryant just happened to be under the basket, he didn't jump, and turned around to avoid Howard, but because of the angle of the shot, that photo looked like Kobe was dunked.

Clearly, Howard was having fun, or he was having fun. He and Kobe Bryant fell out last season and won't miss an opportunity to taunt each other.

Bryant immediately hit back on Twitter, saying, "It wasn't until I played with Softegg Howard that I really started to appreciate the big sharks. ”

Howard tweeted back: "I also admire the big shark, the question is who admires Kobe? Can Kobe Bryant make the playoffs once without a star center on the team? We don't have Kobe Bryant now, and every day in the locker room is laughter, first in the East. ”

Some media turned over old accounts and pointed out that the contradictions between the two in last season's All-Star Game were irreconcilable.

In the locker room before the Houston All-Star Game, Howard put on Kobe's jersey and tried his best to make fun of Kobe.

Howard mimics Kobe Bryant's words and actions in front of a group of Eastern Conference star teammates, asking if anyone else can stand this kind of person? After the game, someone anonymously exposed the matter.

There were no highlights in this All-Star Weekend, and Guo Xu refused to participate in any activities, neither as a commentator nor as a coach. The fans are generally not enthusiastic, and the atmosphere of chasing stars is not strong, and it is the most deserted All-Star in recent years.

The finale of the second day's dunk contest was changed to an East-West confrontation, and only the two dunks of Wall and Paul George were reasonable.

In the main game, both sides did not defend seriously, and played to the end, and the East team won 165-155, and Anthony scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists to win the MVP.

The result was disappointing to everyone, with Anthony only being selected off the bench based on his stats, and the Magic's record is out of the playoffs this season.

Does this kind of player who can only score really deserve the title of star of stars?
