Chapter 1210 Excited Kobe and the blackened little magician!(1/2)
Because in this year's All-Star game, we are going against the Seattle SuperSonics, possibly the strongest team in the history of the NBA and even basketball.
Therefore, the selection of this All-Star League team is particularly eye-catching.
Some people advocate the reuse of interior lines, some advocate the reuse of forwards, still others advocate the reuse of defenders, and so on.
In short, no matter what, 29 teams select 10 players. This is a matter of selecting the best among the best.
Under this circumstance, before this list came out, most people knew that the number of people who would not be selected for the All-Star Game this time would probably be quite large.
However, when the list actually came out, the whole world was shocked.
The number of undrafted superstars and superstars is unbelievable.
For example, Arenas of the Washington Wizards is a super giant and one of the strongest NBA players in the past few seasons.
For example, Granger of the Indiana Pacers is a top All-Star or superstar, and has always been one of the most fierce players in the NBA.
This is still the East, and there are even more superstars in the West who were not drafted.
The first among them is the Clippers twin stars, Nick Young and Chris Paul. These two are definitely top superstars in the NBA. They are top-notch in terms of popularity and strength.
But this time, neither of them made it to the ten-man roster.
Then there are Duncan of the Lakers, Bradley of the Nuggets, Yi Jianlian of the Timberwolves, Westbrook, the triple-double king of Goose City, Aldridge Conley of the Trail Blazers, Afflalo and Roy of the Mavericks, and Howard of the Rockets.
Wait wait wait.
In fact, if only these superstars failed to be selected, it would be okay. After all, there are only 10 places.
If there is no controversy, if you lose the election, you will lose the election.
However, some people in this ten list are very controversial.
Kobe, Curry, Yao Ming, Oden, and Beasley, these five people are the least controversial.
Not to mention Kobe, he is the strongest player in the NBA outside of the SuperSonics, and is recognized as one of the two players in the league who is better than Jordan.
Although Pippen has always said that James is better than Jordan, he has not been recognized by everyone.
But Kobe, after that crazy Christmas game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, everyone recognized that Kobe was indeed better than Jordan, although his stability was not as good as Jordan's. In a seven-game series, even though Jordan was slightly more likely to win.
A little older, but if it's just playing one game, Kobe is definitely second only to Yes in super strength.
It can be said that Kobe is now the leader of the entire league against the Sonics.
The two centers, Yao Ming and Oden, are equally uncontroversial. One of them is the former No. 1 center, and the other is the current No. 1 center. At the critical moment of the game against the SuperSonics, the twin towers formed by these two people are likely to win.
Put your hands behind your back.
Therefore, before the roster is announced, no matter in those plans that advocate the reuse of forwards or guards, the twin towers of Oden and Yao Ming have always existed.
As for Curry and Beasley, there is certainly no controversy about this.
Both of them are super giants who are currently popular.
The recent state of the Warriors and Curry Beasley is also quite brutal.
It can be said that no matter how you choose Kobe, Oden, Yao Ming, Curry and Beasley, there is no way they will lose, and no one will point fingers at these five people.
The key is that the remaining five people are really not that convincing.
For example, Gay, although Gay is known as the dividing line between superstars and super giants, is Guy the dividing line between super giants and superstars? Bradley, Roy, Nick Young, Chris Paul, who are not superstars and super giants?
Huge dividing line?
Another example is Wade. Wade is a giant, yes, but his performance in the Heat in the past few seasons has been like a zombie. After parting ways with James, everyone has become connected. Even in the entire league, with the rise of the Warriors,
Coupled with the return of yes, everything has become a little transparent.
Of course there was nothing to say about Wade's strength before, but now, it's hard to say.
After all, after being transparent for so long, I don’t know how much strength I have left.
After all, in the eyes of many people, if you are really powerful, how can you be so transparent?
Instead of choosing a sluggish little transparent super giant like Wade, it would be better to choose a super giant like Arenas who is still in full swing.
If Gay and Wade can barely accept it, they can admit it by gritting their teeth and pinching their noses, then the remaining three people really can't admit it no matter how hard they pinch their noses.
Thick eyebrows, Paul George, Nowitzki, what is this?
Thick eyebrows and Paul George, is this the back door for James and Kobe?
Each person brings a younger brother from their respective teams?
Although both of these two are recognized by the league as super-potential rising stars, are they qualified to participate in such a competition now?
Isn’t Howard more qualified than thick eyebrows?
Even Cavaliers teammate Cousins is more qualified than thick eyebrows, right?
There is also Paul George, and there are even more players who can replace Paul George.
No matter how good these two are, being selected for the All-Star Game for the first time is the most important All-Star game in history!
That's right, both of them are selected to the All-Stars for the first time this time. According to many people's previous thoughts, the best league teams in this year's All-Star Game are All-Star veterans, so it is best not to select newcomers.
This game is really too important.
However, in the end, for some unknown reason, these two people used this All-Star game as their first All-Star game.
It can be said that after the announcement of this list, Paul George and thick eyebrows attracted almost all the controversy.
Most of the rest belongs to Nowitzki.
Of course Nowitzki and Paul George have different thick eyebrows.
Only a few years have passed since the 2011 playoffs, and now no one has forgotten how powerful Nowitzki was.
But the key is that in 2011, Nowitzki was 33 years old at that time, but now, Nowitzki is 36 years old!
Since Kobe wanted to play dirty, why didn't he choose Duncan instead of Nowitzki?
This is really incomprehensible.
If Nowitzki were replaced by Duncan, Kobe would be blackballed by the current public opinion.
Reporters and media have never let Kobe go.
But this time, Nowitzki was chosen, not Duncan.
This is confusing.
You want to say that Kobe showed favoritism, why did he not show favoritism to Duncan, but showed favoritism to Paul George?
If you want to say that Kobe is not showing favoritism, why can someone like Paul George be selected for this All-Star lineup?
In short, after the league announced the roster for this All-Star Game, the whole world fell into an uproar.
In previous All-Star Games, the league's announcement of the roster would cause great controversy, but the league basically never explained it.
But this time is different. This time the list is not the league's choice, it is Kobe's choice.
Is Kobe that kind of coward?
Of course not!
Faced with the increasingly fierce controversy, Kobe actually stood up for an exclusive interview as soon as possible, and then explained everything one by one.
"I know you have a lot of questions now, but for me, for LeBron, for Phil and Scott, this list is the most perfect list we hope for. This time the All-Star Game is different.
This time the All-Star Game is not about shining stars, it is about winning the final victory."
"Paul, Anthony and Dirk were chosen based on this consideration. Paul and Anthony are still young, but they already have enough strength to shoulder this responsibility, because when we selected them, LeBron and I had already put great emphasis on them.
Passed the test.”
"As for Dirk...he has always been one of the players I respect most, and he is also one of the players that yes, yao, LeBron respects the most. In 2011, the miracle he performed made me, LeBron, yao,
We all got a kick in the butt. He is indeed not young now, but he still has enough energy to bear the victory we need. His age is a problem for the Mavericks, but for us
It is not a problem for the league team. We will not ask him to play a whole game. We even hope that he will not have a chance to play in the All-Star Game. However, when we need him most, we believe that he can still play at the most critical moment.
Stand up!”
Faced with Kobe's direct explanation this time, many people were surprised.
But there is no doubt that after Kobe's explanation, such controversy has indeed diminished a lot.
Especially for Nowitzki.
After all, Kobe has made it very clear that using Nowitzki is based on his key abilities.
If he only plays for ten or five minutes, Nowitzki's combat effectiveness is definitely the best in the league.
So after the league has Oden and Yao Ming, they really don't need Duncan, but they definitely need Nowitzki.
After Kobe explained, Nowitzki was quickly accepted by everyone.
But Paul George and bushy eyebrows…
Still not accepted.
On the contrary, Kobe's words made people even more confused.
"Kobe said he and LeBron James tested thick eyebrows and pickled peppers. What test? Why are only the two of them able to get tested?"
To be continued...
