Chapter 202 Lin Crazy and All-Stars Two or Three Things

Sure enough, although Wang Chao's arrival has changed many things in the NBA league, it has directly affected many people. For example, Kobe only has four championships, while O'Neal has retired with satisfaction in five championships. The three Celtics have not won a single championship so far.

So, the youngest regular season MVP in history no longer exists. James only has one regular season MVP, and Durant has not had a scoring champion so far...

But Jeremy Lin, as he used to seize an opportunity, immediately rode the wind, and his strong performance shocked the entire league in several consecutive games.

From defeating the Nets at home on February 4 to defeating the Kings at home on February 15, the Knicks won a seven-game winning streak under the leadership of Jeremy Lin!

During these seven consecutive wins, Jeremy Lin averaged 24.4 points and 9.1 assists per game, which was the main contribution of the Knicks to win a row.

On February 17, the Knicks lost to the New Orleans Hornets at home, ending their winning streak, but the team lost, Jeremy Lin did not lose. He made 8 of 18 free throws, scored 26 points and 5 assists, continuing his magical performance

.

The most classic game that Jeremy Lin played during his rise was the game of defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 92:85.

Before the game, a reporter asked Kobe what advice he had for Jeremy Lin, and Kobe said that I don’t know who you are talking about.

As a result, Jeremy Lin and Kobe competed with each other throughout the game. Kobe scored 34 points and 10 rebounds, and Jeremy Lin scored 38 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

After the game, the Knicks local media asked Kobe gloatingly, what suggestions do you have for Jeremy Lin’s performance?

Kobe had a dark face: "He has cut 38 points on my head, what advice do he need?"

At this time, Kobe really didn't understand Jeremy Lin, and he didn't even understand Jeremy Lin's nationality. He just thought that another demon like Wang Chao had appeared in China.

The storm that Jeremy Lin in the league has not responded so strongly in China, at least not as strong as in history. There is no way. After all, with jade beads in front, although Jeremy Lin's performance is very eye-catching, compared with Wang Chao, it is obvious that

It's still a small matter.

Wang Chao's data performance this season is really too explosive.

In January, Wang Chao was elected the Western Conference Player of the Month with averaging 40.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game. He performed twice in a single month with 50+ points. The exaggerated average data is rare in the league history.

After entering February, with Jeremy Lin sweeping the league storm, Wang Chao's performance was still stable. In a row of back-to-back, Yao Yao scored 62 points to lead the team to win, and his average score continued to remain at 40+ in a row.

Left and right, when the Rockets currently lack scoring points, Wang Chao completely supported the entire team's offense with his own strength.

As Popovich sighed before, everyone is probably witnessing a crazy season, a legend with rare scoring ability in history!

——

On February 26, the All-Star Weekend is coming.

After four rounds of voting, the starter of the East and West All-Stars Championship was completely confirmed.

The West continues to maintain the original first-round vote results. Wang Chao was elected the All-Star vote leader with 1.7 million votes. His performance during the regular season is really exaggerated.

Host Howard received 1.58 million votes, a total of 120,000 votes less than Wang Chao, and the gap was quite big.

Kobe ranked third with 1.51 million votes, second only to Wang Chao in the West, followed by Durant, Paul, and Yao...

Just so happens that the five players with the highest votes in the Western Conference occupied five positions in the All-Star Game. Bynum, who performed well in the regular season, could not compete with Yao Yao for popularity after all, and the number of votes won was completely abused by Yao Yao.

The All-Star Starters in the Eastern Conference are Howard, James, Wade, Anthony and Rose.

Although Jeremy Lin, who is in the limelight recently, has a great momentum before the All-Star Tournament list was announced, and he felt like he was an All-Star substitute and went straight to the main tournament, he was unable to participate in the All-Star Tournament in the end. After all, his background is compared to other stars.

The players are still slightly inferior, and they can only represent the second grade in the rookie challenge.

The Rockets were not the three players who were selected for the rookie challenge before. Isaiah Thomas was also eliminated in the middle, and only Leonard and Chandler Parsons were selected for the rookie challenge.

Two people.

Two of the Rockets were selected as All-Star starters, which dated back to the last time it was in the 2005-06 season. Both Yao and McGrady were selected as the Western Conference All-Star starters. Although Yao Yao was also selected as the Western Conference starting center in the following 2006-07 season.

But due to injuries, he missed that All-Star Game.

All-Star Weekend is a place for Yao Yao to play with his face and play with soy sauce. Overseas players + inside players, Dbuffs are almost full. Even if Yao Yao wants to make a difference in the All-Star, there is no possibility of playing time and being on the court.

They rarely get the ball rights.

But to put it bluntly, it is a performance-oriented game. Except for a few players, not many star players really care about the honor of the All-Star MVP.

Yao Yao started for about 8 minutes, and then he got the ball symbolically and showed his face. This is what Wang Chao is happy to see. He doesn't want Yao Yao to continue to accumulate fatigue in the All-Star.

As for Wang Chao himself, because he is so popular now, he can't take a break off the court. He ended up playing for about 30 minutes on the court, saying that he was playing soy sauce, but occasionally he made a three-pointer and scored unknowingly.

He scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Western Conference All-Star defeated the Eastern Conference All-Stars 152:149, and Durant, who scored 36 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, won the All-Star MVP.

The moment Durant held the All-Star MVP trophy, his face was filled with a bright smile, as if it was a regular season MVP or championship trophy.

There is nothing I can do about this, Durant is also very depressed.

Since he debuted and began to rise, he has been in a situation where he was suppressed by Wang Chao. He is obviously a super scorer, but so far he has not even won the honor of a scoring king, especially this season, so far Dulan has so far

Special averaged 31.4 points, and its score was much higher than the average of 28 points in the same period in history. But even so, he could only rank second in the scoring list, watching Wang Chaogao, who averaged 40 points per game, standing high

Peak.

Durant's scoring ability is indeed very strong. His height and wingspan, coupled with his stable mid-range shot, makes his offense undefensive.

But physical fitness has always been a condition that restricts Durant's scoring limit.

Of all the top superstars, Durant has the least number of 50+ points, and there are no 60+ points.

For Durant, averaging 30+ points per game is a goal that can be easily achieved by eating and drinking water, but let him play more than 40 minutes per game like Wang Chao, and average 40+ points per game. That's true

It's a little difficult for him...

This All-Star MVP is really a kind of spiritual comfort for Durant.

But looking at Durant who was full of enthusiasm and held the trophy, it was time for James to curse! Because he also wanted this trophy!

In the game, James didn't give up any water. He made 15 of 23 shots, scored 36 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, but the Eastern Conference still failed to win.

Whether for James himself or the Heat Big Three, they have no way out this season.

The failure of forming the Big Three last season may be an excuse for insufficient tacit understanding during the running-in period, but this season, the Magic's super magic combination of three consecutive championships disintegrated, and the most powerful opponent no longer exists, while others such as the Bulls and Spurs

The Lakers and even Wang Chao's Rockets all have some shortcomings to a greater or lesser extent.

If the Heat can't win the championship under this situation, the so-called Chosen Son will be a complete joke. What is the reason why James ran to Miami with a stigma?

The All-Star Weekend ended like this, which also means that the regular season will enter the final sprint stage.

But unlike in the past, since this season is a shrinking season, most teams after the All-Star have at least 31 games, about 4 to 5 more games than before.

Don’t underestimate just 5 games. Putting these games in the daily schedule will lead to multiple consecutive back-to-back games, seizing rest time and allowing players to further accumulate fatigue.

But this is also impossible. The impact of the suspension of the schedule is completely force majeure.

The league teams can only strengthen the team through trades as much as possible before the All-Star transaction deadline to ensure the combat effectiveness of the final sprint stage of the regular season.

The Los Angeles Lakers took the lead. They first traded the championship point guard meritorious Derek Fisher to leave the team to make a salary space, and then used players such as Luke Walton to get Raymond Sessions from the Cavaliers.

This deal by the Lakers management has been praised by many media.

As Fisher grows older, he is now old and slow. While the defensive end is a black hole, the offensive end does not have any effect of sharing Kobe's pressure, which is a complete drag on the field.

In contrast, Sessions averaged 13 points and 5 assists per game with the Cavaliers last season, and before being traded, he also had 10.5 points and 5.2 assists in dozens of games played in the Cavaliers.

With Sessions' joining, the Lakers' point guard's mobility and offensive ability have been greatly improved, and they have been rated as a Class A strengthener.

But according to the original history, the Lakers' trade before the trade deadline should be A+ evaluation, because they used Fisher and a first-round pick from the Mavericks in 12 years to get blue-collar center Jordan Hill from the Rockets.

In fact, before Fisher was traded, the Lakers did find the Rockets, hoping to get Jordan Hill from the Rockets with Fisher and the Mavericks' first round pick in 2012.

But this transaction was rejected by Wang Chao without hesitation.

First of all, Fisher itself has no value and is a negative asset with no combat effectiveness. As for the Mavericks' first round pick in 12 years...

Although the Mavericks' record has dropped sharply this season, it is still a playoff-level team, and this first round pick should be only about 16 or 17 in the end.

In the 2012 draft, the draft picks at this position were of no value, but were not as valuable as the draft picks that were higher than the second round. After all, Drummond Green and Chris Middle in the second round of 12 years were Drummond Green and Chris Middle.

Dun.

Of course, for the Rockets, who already have four generals in the forward position, even if Green and Middleton are selected, they will not be able to provide them with sufficient appearances.

time.

Compared to this first-round draft pick that was like a useless, Jordan Hill is obviously worth a little higher.

Although he is just a blue-collar center, Hill is young, has a strong physical fitness and has a strong impact. Although he is a center, he is relatively thin and has a slightly lack of ability to fight, but it is still very useful at certain specific times.

The most important thing is that he is very cheap.

This year is Hill's contract year, and the Rockets have already discussed Hill's contract renewal before. The two sides have reached a preliminary agreement and will provide him with a three-year contract with an average salary of 3 million.

Considering that Hill can contribute 9.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game with the Lakers per game in the next 13-14 season, this contract is definitely worth the money.

Failure to get Hill caused the Lakers' trading rating to drop by one +, so he got Nick Young through the trade and successfully strengthened his forward strength and both got A-level ratings.

In addition, the Spurs also made a deal on the trading deadline, using Richard Jefferson to exchange for Stephen Jackson. Both players were once the league-dominated players, but now they can only play roles

Players, so not many people will pay attention.
