Chapter 871 [Showing Up, Worshipping Like a God]
The 2016 All-Star Weekend was held in Toronto, Canada, and it was the first time that an All-Star Game was held in a city outside of the United States. And, the 2015-16 season marks the 20th anniversary of the Raptors, and their All-Star hosting is a good time to celebrate.
Yang Rui, the coach who led the Raptors to the top, is so popular that online fans began welcoming him a week in advance.
The starting five in the West: Curry, Westbrook, Kobe, Leonard, Durant.
It is worth mentioning that Harden was not selected as the starter, and his popularity was amazingly low, with only 430,000 votes in total.
Harden's average data per game is 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, but fans don't think he is strong, because this year he has opened a kaleidoscope to write wheels, and he has been tireless on the court, and has been selected as one of the top five embarrassments of TNT many times, and is a strong contender for the king of embarrassment this season.
Harden has the potential to be a defensive screed based on his strength and speed, but his defensive attitude has been criticized, and even his teammates and coaches can't stand his sloppiness on the defensive end this year.
McHale was about to leave class because of the team's bad defense, and management was ready to trade Howard, and he and Harden didn't work together at all.
Harden's character has been questioned by many parties, and Khloe Kardashian dated Harden last summer, and also had a relationship with Odom, and this love triangle has become a joke among fans.
Then, the stimulated Odom almost hung up due to multiple organ failure caused by a drug overdose in a nightclub, and the entire NBA pinched him to sweat, and for three whole days, Odom was in an unconscious coma, and was basically given a death notice by the doctor, but finally miraculously survived.
Now, Harden and Kardashian are still disconnected, and the outside world is speculating that he is going to be scrapped.
Western Conference bench seven: Harden, Anthony Davis, Pau Gasol, Draymond Green, Irving, Chris Paul, Aldridge.
Draymond was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, with average statistics and all-round wins, averaging 31.3 minutes per game, 10.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, shooting 49% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range.
Eastern starters: Kyle Lowry, Klay Thompson, James, Anthony, Paul George.
After the cancellation of the selection of the center position, there was not a single inside line in the east and west starters, and fans wanted the game to be more enjoyable.
Subs: Wade, Wall, DeRozan, Millsap, Jimmy Butler, Andre Drummond, Rudy Gay (Celtics).
Guy joined the Celtics for 5 years and 80 million in the summer, and it was worth the money. He averaged 20.7 points, 6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 35.5 minutes per game, shooting 46.3% from the field and 35.6% from three-point range.
This is the third time in Guy's career that he has been selected as an All-Star, and he has money, championships and honors, and he is much better than Yang Rui's previous life.
Griffin missed the All-Star Game due to injury, and he has suffered a variety of injuries this season. In the Christmas game, he rested for a month from a torn quadriceps tendon in a breakout, and just a few days after his return, he injured his ankle again.
Now when it comes to Griffin, Clippers fans say that Yang Rui had the foresight to send him away, and that he has gone from being one of the league's most powerful forwards to one of the most overrated stars.
Yang Rui arrived in Toronto a day early to visit his parents with Nina Dubov, who still live in Toronto and are used to the environment, only occasionally going to Los Angeles for a few days to see their children.
Nina gave birth to a son named Lucas. The name is said to have originated in Greece and has the meaning of "light", and the child's Chinese name is Yang Guang.
Yang Rui liked this name very much, and did not name Leon, so that one more person could be added to the zombie fighting team. Now when you mention Leon, everyone will think of Jenson Ax's hoop legs......
On the first day of match, the Rookie Challenge was played by the United States and the World United, with the United States beating the International 157-154.
The Clippers' Zach LaVine was the most showy, winning the MVP with 30 points and 7 rebounds, and staged many wonderful dunks.
The next day, the most intriguing player was LaVine again, who won the championship in the slam dunk contest with three difficult free-throw line jumps and dunks.
LaVine became the sixth player in NBA history to win at least two slam dunks, and the fourth player in NBA history to win two consecutive slam dunks after Jordan, Jason Richardson and Nate Robinson.
Aaron Gordon had a great performance even though he lost, he sat in the air, his hips flew over the mascot's head, his legs were together and contracted, he flipped the ball under his legs and rotated, and then a reverse dunk was successful. This action is first-class in terms of difficulty and ornamentation, and it has never been seen in the history of dunking, which is jaw-dropping.
LaVine, who can complete a crotch change dunk one step before the free throw line, is already the limit of the flow.
Gordon is the pinnacle of power, bounces strong enough to compete in the high jump, and he's also very creative.
After Silva took the stage, the star game became a pure performance, never really playing, and the score got higher and higher every year. The West team defeated the East team 196-173, and the total points scored by both teams at halftime, the total points scored at the full game, and the total points scored by each team set a new record in the history of the All-Star Game.
Westbrook finished with 31 points, 5 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals and was named MVP for the second year in a row.
The trade deadline came soon after the All-Star break, there were no big trades, and there weren't many teams aiming for a championship.
The Thunder sent DJ Augustin, Steve Novak and two second-round picks to the Denver Nuggets' Randy Foyer in order to find instant power to challenge the Clippers in the playoffs.
The Cavaliers sent Vallejo and a 2018 first-round pick to get interior Channing Frye, who can shoot three-pointers.
In order to get the instant combat power that satisfies the emperor, the Cavaliers management did their best, and they have already sent away many first-round picks anyway, so it doesn't hurt to have one more. Frye with TT Thompson is much better than Vallejo with Thompson, otherwise the inside line can't be pulled out, and James will not be able to break through.
Emotionally speaking, it was a little sad for Vallejo to be sent away, he was in the Cavaliers as soon as he entered the league, and he never thought of leaving. But that's the NBA, a business.
The Clippers made no substitutions and continued to be strong in the second half.
Curry's form has slipped slightly, and he wants to shoot an average of 5 three-pointers per game, so he has to shoot a lot of threes every game, and there are traces to follow, and the opponent is easier to defend.
It doesn't matter if Curry can't shoot accurately, the Clippers are super strong inside, not only Gasol has always been excellent, but Whiteside has also begun to contribute two double-doubles steadily, and the efficiency is amazing.
White averaged just 22.8 minutes per game, chipped in 11.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks while shooting 62.8 percent from the field.
He scared himself, and once cut 15+17, and said in an interview: "I rub, I'm so good?" ”
If he was so good last year, the contract he signed would definitely be bigger, because he has always been a substitute, it is difficult for the opponent's substitute center to defend him, and the offense can't pass him, which makes him extremely tough.
On the Internet, fans are more likely to praise Yang Rui for being good at employing people, because Bai Bian was only a second-round rookie when he first entered the league, and he couldn't get along after two years in the NBA, so he could only go to China to play in the secondary league, and the CBA couldn't look down on him. Now that White Edge has been reborn, many fans firmly believe that Yang Rui has turned stones into gold again.
The Chinese Basketball Association has been paying attention to the Clippers game, and the leaders have finally made up their minds to prepare to release a few young players to the United States for training next year.
In China, many basketball lovers began to worship Yang Rui as a god.
