Chapter 597: Another Year of All-Stars

The result of the game with the Thunder was already obvious after Durant was finally blocked by Qin Yan.

After that dunk, Qin Yan and Durant were both off the court, Durant was no longer able to fight, and Qin Yan was taken down by Popovich to rest.

In this game, Qin Yan has completed the task, and it is time to come down and rest.

However, in terms of the scores of the two, Durant still has a little more, after all, he has more offensive rounds and finally scored 48 points.

Qin Yan didn't lose too much, 42 points, because he attacked several times less than Durant, if it weren't for that, Qin Yan might have even beaten Durant by points.

Judging from the performance of the two on the court, most of the time was about the same, but it was Qin Yan who knocked down Durant at the last time, making him unable to fight again, so Qin Yan won at this point.

As for the most critical game result, what else is there to ask, after Durant goes down, Westbrook will be left alone to support the team, and Qin Yan on the Spurs' side will go down, and there will be a group of old monsters, how can this be played?

In the end, the Spurs had a thrilling solution to the Thunder, and Westbrook was blown up by the old monsters in turn, and there was really no way for one person to fight against a group of people.

With the Spurs winning this game, there is only one game left before the All-Star break, and for Popovich, this game is sure to be a drain.

There's nothing more important than a rotation.

The 2014 New Orleans All-Star Contest will be held from February 15th to 17th, Beijing time (the opening day is Valentine's Day, US time), and this year's model is a model of East and West competing for charitable funds.

The first thing to say is naturally Qin Yan, this guy has risen strongly this year, all kinds of data have exploded, he has led the way in three rounds of voting, and finally won 1818593 votes to win the vote king!

The second place is naturally James, he got 1416419 votes, a little more than 400,000 votes with Qin Yan, for James, this gap really made him a little embarrassed.

And the remaining starters in the east and west also made people a little surprised.

This season, under the stimulation of Qin Yan, the data of all the stars are very dazzling, especially the old Kobe, at this age, he can still score an average of 30 points per game! (Kobe Bryant did not suffer a major injury in the book, and in fact Kobe Bryant returned from a major injury that season)

It's just that before the All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant injured his knee in a breakaway, and because of his advanced age, Kobe Bryant was selected as another starting backcourt in the West, but he announced that he would not play.

Therefore, the position he vacated was cheaper than Davis, who was the same year as Qin Yan (in reality), but the starting position left by Kobe Bryant was replaced by Harden of the Rockets.

The remaining three starters in the West are Durant, Griffin and Love.

Originally, Lefou's position should have been Howard's, but in the final round of All-Star voting, Lefu successfully overtook Howard and grabbed the last starting position!

Things are pretty much the same in the East as they were last year, with James leading the way, Anthony, Paul George, Irving and Wade.

It is worth mentioning that George has been the main choice this year, he has played very well this season, and he has improved quite quickly, and there should be no problem in winning the most improved award this year.

And the head coach and bench lineup in the East and West also came out, the Eastern side is Pacers coach Frank Vogel, and the Western side is because the All-Star coach cannot be re-elected, so the most vocal Popovich (after all, the team has won 30 consecutive games) cannot be elected, and he is replaced by Coach Brooks of the Thunder.

For the Spurs, what they didn't expect was that Duncan actually failed to be selected as an All-Star, but it is understandable to think about it, Duncan has unloaded the burden of offense this season, and controlled the playing time, and it is normal for the stats to decrease.

There are also members who participate in the rookie game and various individual competitions, and this year's All-Star major individual competitions have more expectations than last year's because the rules are more perfect.

Qin Yan doesn't play in the rookie game this year, his current strength is too strong, and he is bullying people to play the rookie game.

The first event to be announced is the Skills Challenge, which will feature Adetecumbo, Michael Carter-Williams, Oladipo and DeRozan in the East.

The players on the Western side are Trey Burke, Reggie Jackson, Lillard and Dragic.

Then the list of the three-point contest was announced, last year's king Qin Yan did not continue to participate this year, according to his own words, he had already won the championship once and stopped playing.

And the people who participated in this individual event were Afflalo, Beal, Irving, Joe Johnson, Curry, Lillard, Love and Spurs...... Belinelli!

The last announcement was the highlight of the slam dunk contest, and some of the fun things were that Qin Yan said that he wouldn't play the championship if he won the three-point contest once, but he actually participated in the slam dunk contest this time! (Does this count as a slap in the face......)

George, Wall, Terrence Ross. , Lillard, Harrison Barnes, three of the five opponents are rookies from the same class as Qin Yan, the sixth and the seventh and the sixteenth (Terrence Ross is the sixteenth in the book) plus Qin Yan, the second old, this slam dunk contest can be said to be a civil war between the rookies of the class of 2012!

After all the lists were announced, people's expectations for this year's All-Stars were high, especially the slam dunk contest, the 2012 rookie four played, of which Qin Yan was still the king of last year, and this title defense battle was the biggest attraction before the main game.

……

San Antonio, Spurs Training Gym.

“…… That's it, these guys take a rest for the next game, and then you can do whatever you want during the All-Star break. Popovich is arranging the final task, the All-Star Game is a full rest day for the Spurs, especially this year, Duncan is no longer playing, only Qin Yan and Belinelli still have tasks during the All-Star period.

"Oops, hey, we'll watch you defend your title on TV, you have to behave well, Qin."

"That's right, and Marco, come on in the three-point contest, try to win the championship."

"That's it."

……

A group of unscrupulous big brothers suddenly grabbed Qin Yan and didn't let go, it was rare to have a big holiday, they could rest and rest, and only Qin Yan, the junior in the whole team, was the busiest, so he didn't take the opportunity to joke about how to be worthy of himself.

Qin Yan is also very helpless, who would have thought that this year's All-Star himself would almost be a one-man struggle, if it weren't for Belinelli to participate in the three-point contest, Qin Yan would probably go to New Orleans alone this year.

Hey, wait, alone......

Qin Yan, who was teased by the big brothers, suddenly remembered something, the all-star opening day, it seems, it should be Valentine's Day.

In that case...... Duffy should be able to do it.

Well, maybe this year, there shouldn't be one.
