The Eastern Conference All-Star lineup has long been decided. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Starting five: Anfernee Hardaway (Magic), Michael Jordan (Bulls), Grant Hill (Pistons), Sean Kemp (Cavaliers), Patrick Ewing (Knicks).

Subs: Glen Rice (Hornets), Dicambe Mutombo (Hawks), Reggie Miller (Pacers), Tim Hardaway (Heat), Antoine Walker (Celtics), Jason Williams (Nets), Alan Houston (Knicks).

There are many outside players with good stats in the East, and Alan Houston, who averages 19.4 points per game, was selected for the first time by virtue of his record.

This is not good news for Ewing, who will be rated higher in the MVP selection if the Knicks have a good record and he is the only one selected.

In addition to the Heat's Alonzo Mourning absence due to injury, the biggest stars in the East are the Hawks' swingman Steve Smith and Wizards power forward Chris Webber.

Smith averaged 20.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal per game.

Webb was even better, averaging 22 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. Because the Wizards' record is only ninth in the East, he was excluded, but it is clear that the Celtics' fat head Towalk's record is even worse.

Webber couldn't be selected because he was a problem player, and he was the top pick in a trade in 1993.

He won Rookie of the Year in his debut season with the Warriors, but his flamboyant personality soon fell out of step with the team, and he clashed with head coach Don Nelson, and the Warriors went all over the place, eventually trading him to the Wizards.

Western Conference star starting five: Gary Payton (SuperSonics), Kobe Bryant, Shackle O'Neal (Lakers), Kevin Garnett (Timberwolves), Karl Malone (Jazz).

Subs: Eddie Jones, Van Axel (Lakers), Tim Duncan, David Robinson (Spurs), Wenbeck (SuperSonics), Jason Kidd (Suns), Mitch Richmond (Kings).

Looking at the star lineup, it is really clear who the league wants to support, 19-year-old Kobe Bryant played as a substitute for Eddie Jones in the Lakers, averaging only 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and actually became the starter of the star game.

Although Bryant scored 33 points against Jordan in December, his average per game was completely inadequate, shooting only 42.8 percent from the field.

Under the frantic publicity of the league, Kobe Bryant's popularity skyrocketed, and his technical actions made many people see the shadow of Jordan when he was young, not only playing ball, from wearing a bowl to holding a jersey, from the glare of death to sticking out his tongue, God is synchronized.

Fans are happy to see Jordan's imitation show, and they are also willing to watch the Little Flyers play the genuine Flyers. Kobe Bryant is an absolute flyer, breaking through extremely fast, changing direction is sharp, and winning the 97 dunk contest. As Jordan ages, the league is desperate to find a successor.

In addition, the Lakers are located in Los Angeles, which has always been a city that the league has been a big fan of.

While there was some controversy, many of the league's seemingly urgent decisions proved worthwhile, such as fourth-year O'Neal squeezing out several seniors to be selected for the Big 50, and O'Neal later proved to be worthy of such honors.

Yang Rui is also not idle, he is going to participate in the Star Weekend with Van Gundy, who is the head coach of the Eastern Stars, and he is the coach of the Eastern team in the rookie game.

The tournament was first held in 1994 and was divided into a talented team and a passion team, all made up of rookie players. In 1995, it was changed to the white team and the green team, which is still made up entirely of rookie players. In 1996, the rookies began to be divided by the league to which the team belonged, and the confrontation was stronger.

The world is in the spotlight on the star weekend, and this rookie game is broadcast live in many countries, and Yang Rui's exposure is about to increase again.

On Friday, New York City came alive with fans from all over the country flocking to the basketball extravaganza. The players all held press conferences and spoke to the media.

In 1998, the NBA Star Weekend did not have as many show activities in later generations, and as an assistant coach, Yang Rui did not have to attend press conferences, and it was rare to have leisure on the 5th and 6th.

On the morning of the 7th, Yang Ruicai communicated with the staff and went to the stadium to arrange training for the rookie team in the east.

When he saw the rookie list, Yang Rui knew that the East would definitely win.

Tim Thomas, Keith Van Horne, Chauncey Billups, Ron Mercer, Cedric Henderson, Zay Delunas Ilgoskas, Blevin Knight, Tracy McGrady.

Several people have signed big contracts in the future, and three have been selected as All-Stars. The rookies in the East are strong, and although Bruce Bowen has always played as a starter for the Knicks, he is not eligible to participate because of the poor statistics.

During training, Billups, Van Horn, and Thomas were all accurate in comparing three-point shots.

Maddie and Mercer performed many dunks, and the two could fly.

Yang Rui looked at Ron Mercer's spring breeze, looking like "here I am the boss here", and felt sorry for this person in his heart. In his previous life, this talented swingman with great physical fitness was ruined by an injury and ran out of football in 2005. If he hadn't been injured, he would have been at least a second-rate star.

Now, Mercer is having a smooth ride in his career, is a high-profile super-rookie, and playing under a coach who likes him, of course, can't imagine how difficult his future path will be.

In high school, Mercer received even more accolades than Kevin Garnett and Stephen Marbury.

In 1997, Mercer announced his candidacy in the draft and was drafted by the Celtics at sixth place in the first round, and coincidentally, his mentor in Kentucky, Rick Pitino, had just been hired by the Celtics as head coach.

After he was drafted by the Celtics, everyone began to suspect that Pitino's remarks were a smokescreen to deceive others for the Celtics, and the real purpose was to bring Mersell to Boston, which was only sixth in the draft.

This season, Mersell averaged 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and was the core of the perimeter. But when the team selects the more talented Paul Pierce next year, the Green Army will gradually lose his place.

The player practiced freely, Yang Rui chatted with Ilgoskas on the sidelines, this person is 221CM tall and weighs 108 kg, he has not been seriously injured at present, not only shooting, but also playing a role on the defensive end, and moving quickly.

"Can I call you Big Z?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"Of course, that's what they call me in the knights, and I know my name is a bit of a twist." Ilgoskas smiled shyly.

"Big Z, tonight's game, I think you're the most critical person, your shooting is good, you don't seem to be in charge of organization in the Cavaliers, I want to know, can you handle the offense like Ewing?" Yang Rui asked.

"Huh? What should I do? ”

Ilgoskas is very honest and has been an excellent system player until he retires, so Yang Rui is very optimistic about him.

Yang Rui doesn't just want to win, he wants to win beautifully, and this is his only chance to perform during the star weekend.
