Today's game is the Timberwolves' last game before the All-Star Weekend, and their opponent is the Toronto Raptors, the home team that will host the All-Star Game.
At this time, the game on the court has already entered the fourth quarter, and there are almost 5 minutes left before the end of the game. At this time, the Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell chose to make substitutions and replaced them with substitute players one after another.
All the main force.
Sitting on the other side, Da Zhuang, who was always smiling, also chose to replace all the main players after seeing his opponent's actions. At this time, the Timberwolves led the Raptors by 18 points, 112 to 94.
Mitchell's move also represented giving up the game.
Finally, after the remaining garbage time reached zero, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Since then, all games before the start of the Timberwolves All-Star event have ended.
In the past 53 games, the Timberwolves have achieved a record of 47 wins and 6 losses.
At present, it firmly occupies the first position in the league's record. This year's competition between the East and the West is still the same as in previous years. The East is basically dominated by the Cavaliers, while the West is still fiercely competitive, but this year the Timberwolves and Warriors
But it is a cliff-like change in this competition.
The Warriors currently rank second in the Western Conference with a record of 45 wins and 8 losses, and their second position is very solid.
Behind the Warriors are the Thunder, Rockets, Spurs, Clippers, Trail Blazers, and Mavericks, ranking third to eighth respectively. However, behind the Mavericks, the Grizzlies, Suns, and his win gap are also the same.
no big difference.
With the end of this round of games, the NBA 2015-2016 season also begins the All-Star Weekend activities of this season.
Because of the league's sudden announcement of the reform plan, this year's All-Stars have also attracted the attention of fans from almost all over the world. And the league has indeed announced at the press conference that the two players will be selected on February 4.
The captain selection was broadcast live.
According to the rules given by the league, the two teams have a total of 8 starting players and 14 substitute players except the captain, and they will be selected by selecting substitutes first.
The list of substitute players is also determined based on the two captains.
The substitutes for the Eastern Conference are Millsap, Horford, Wall, Thomas, Drummond, DeRozan, and Pau Gasol.
On the West side are Thompson, Middleton, Davis, Yi Jianlian, Westbrook, Harden, and Paul.
A total of 8 starters are Curry, Kobe, Durant, Leonard, Wade, Lowry, Paul George, and Anthony.
After the final rules were determined by the alliance, the selection process was also full of surprises and topics.
Da Zhuang also watched the live broadcast at home.
The final starters of James' team are James, Curry, Wade, Anthony, and Durant, and the substitutes are Thompson, Pau Gasol, Horford, Davis, Thomas, Westbrook, and DeRozan.
The starting lineup for Oden is Oden, Kobe, Leonard, Paul George, and Lowry, and the substitute lineup is Middleton, Yi Jianlian, Millsap, Wall, Drummond, and Harden.
, Paul.
As soon as these two starters came out, the difference in height alone between those guys was outrageous.
Anyone sitting at home can imagine that scene. In comparison, Oden's starting lineup is more reasonable.
In addition, these two pairs are also very topical.
The biggest gain among them is the Timberwolves. Three of them were selected to the All-Stars, and these three are still on the same team. In addition, Curry and Thompson entered James' team, which was also interpreted by many people as a relationship between the Warriors and the Timberwolves.
A continuation of the duel.
In addition, this year's All-Stars, in addition to Yi Jianlian, Oden, and Middleton, will participate in the All-Star Game, LaVine, Dinwiddie, Grant, and Jokic will also participate in the All-Star Rookie Game.
, in the singles competition, Dinwiddie will participate in the skills challenge, Middleton will participate in the three-point contest, and LaVine will participate in the dunk contest.
Many people said that this was an all-star event where the Timberwolves collectively showed their strength.
In addition to the reform of player confrontation in the All-Star Game, the league also announced that it has abolished the rule that the head coach cannot serve consecutively, and the captain of the two teams will appoint the head coach candidate.
, many people originally thought that Oden would choose Chen Dazhuang, but who knew that in the end Oden chose Carlisle.
It is worth mentioning that James chose the head coach. No one expected that James would choose Warriors head coach Cole. This is the first time in the league's All-Star history that two Western Conference team coaches will appear in the main game.
coach.
For a time, this reform also caused a lot of heated discussion. The vast majority of fans naturally raised their hands and cheered. Of course, there were also a small number of people, especially some famous players from the Eastern Conference, who said that such a reform was a blow to the Eastern Conference.
The team is unfair, and the choices of James and Oden have also become the focus.
Especially James, no one thought that not only did he not choose the head coach of his team, he even chose Cole.
There were also reporters who wanted to interview Chen Dazhuang to ask his opinion on this matter. Who knew that Chen Dazhuang, who was enjoying his leisure time, was eager to do this, so naturally he refused to accept any interview.
The league did not provide any explanation for this. In addition, they seemed to know that Chen Dazhuang disdained to participate in activities such as the All-Stars, and they were probably worried that Dazhuang would cause trouble again, so this time the All-Star Alliance
There were no activities arranged for Da Zhuang.
The time has finally arrived on February 13, and the 2016 All-Star Weekend officially kicked off today at the Aviation Center Arena, home of the Toronto Raptors.

According to league statistics, nearly two hundred countries and regions have broadcast live broadcasts of this All-Star event, and the number of viewers has reached a record high.
Da Zhuang only went to relive the peak showdown between LaVine and Gordon, and then Da Zhuang did not appear in front of the camera during the main game.
However, the idea that Da Zhuang brought to the league was indeed a great success for this year's All-Star Games, especially the finale of the All-Star Game. The confrontation between the two teams was also very fierce. In the past, it was
