Chapter 526 The best player in NBA All-Star history!(1/2)
If there are no games scheduled, All-Star Weekend is a great time to take a vacation.
But this year's Goose City All-Stars, as an All-Star player in the Great Western Conference, really feel like they are fading away.
Goose City is really too small!
To be a bit exaggerated, this city is just one street, from beginning to end, with nothing!
Last year's Casino All-Star allowed all NBA players to see what prosperity and luxury are. This year's Goose City All-Star really made people understand what is the simplest pursuit in the world.
After spending time with the All-Stars in Goose City, the league's All-Stars will have a higher level of respect for the Thunder players.
Although there are no All-Stars from Goose City participating in this year’s All-Stars.
On the other hand, it is also a very good thing that there are not so many distractions from people who are obsessed with life and money. With less interruption, the players can prepare for the game with peace of mind.
Of course, this is for the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
The Eastern Conference All-Stars are really preparing seriously these days, preparing to teach the Jays and the Western Conference a lesson in this year's All-Star Game.
This year's NBA regular season is said to be the year with the largest gap in strength between the East and the West in NBA history.
So far this year, Eastern teams and Western teams have played a total of 285 games. The Eastern teams have won a total of 55 games, with a winning rate of 19.2%!
What is this concept?
Now most teams in the NBA have played 51 to 52 games. In 55 games, 15 teams are divided, and one team can get a total of 3.6 games!
In other words, for most of the season, each team in the Eastern Conference only won less than 4 games against the Western Conference!
This is still an average. Among the fifteen teams in the Eastern Conference, there are still four teams that have not won a single game against the Western Conference teams!
The team with the best record in the East versus the West is the Boston Celtics, who are number one in the East. The Boston Celtics have played a total of 21 games against the West, with a record of 12 wins and 9 losses.
And what about the Celtics' record against the Eastern Conference? It's as high as 26 wins and 5 losses!
The Celtics' current record is 38 wins and 14 losses. This record is very good in the Eastern Conference. However, if it were placed in the Western Conference, this record would only rank seventh in the Western Conference.
The No. 1 team in the East can only rank seventh in the West.
The second-best team in the East can only rank eighth in the West.
The third-best team in the Eastern Conference wouldn't even make the playoffs in the Western Conference.
This really makes the Eastern Conference teams lose any face, and it also makes the Eastern Conference lose face.
Now that even the entire Eastern Conference has been disgraced, these All-Stars in the Eastern Conference naturally have no face either.
It can be said that these All-Stars in the Eastern Conference are holding back their energy to regain their dignity in this year's All-Star Game.
The Eastern Conference teams were really miserable against the Western Conference teams in the regular season.
The fighting in the West was too fierce. Although this made the Eastern teams lose face, it was very honorable!
You guys are fighting so hard in the Western Conference, and with a 60% winning rate, you can't guarantee that you'll make the playoffs.
And for us in the Eastern Conference, a 40% or even 35% winning rate can make the playoffs.
If you are in the West, if you win 50 games, you can only go to eighth place and win first place. We are in the East, if you win 40 games, you may be able to enter the first half and be seeded.
You guys worked so hard for your regular season rankings that you even gave up on the All-Star game.
But what about us? We can win a game with hard work and hard work!
The Eastern Conference's regular season is very good this year, so good that they can put their real efforts into the All-Star Weekend.
As for the Western Conference, during training at six o'clock in the afternoon, these All-Stars from the Western Conference were talking, laughing and joking around.
He didn't take the All-Star game that was about to take place in a few hours at all.
Three Suns players, Nash, Stoudemire and Marion, are even playing basketball as football.
On the other side, McGrady and Kobe were engaged in a one-on-one 'showdown' between brothers.
It was said to be a duel, but in fact it was just a slapstick fight. The two of them were not fighting one-on-one, but engaging in a quarrel, practicing the Gan-Chai-Fire sword technique.
Yao Ming and Roy are not like these people who don't want the "face" of the All-Stars. They still have to give the face they have to give, and there are so many media reporters around them taking pictures.
The two of them were practicing shooting in a decent manner.
As for Duncan of the Spurs, he did not learn from Yao Ming and Roy. Instead, he walked around while keeping his eyes on the heads of other All-Star players.
Now in the entire Western Conference, the only ones who seem to be training seriously are Yes, Durant, Yi Jianlian and Anthony...
In fact, Anthony is not training seriously. This man who is like a social butterfly has been training and looking cool while chatting and laughing with the media reporters next to him.
Rather than saying that he is training, it is better to say that he is posing.
"This is the loosest All-Star training I've ever seen."
"Hahahaha, the situation is completely different from the previous situation in the Eastern Conference. I remember you commented that the previous training in the Eastern Conference was the most serious you have ever seen?"
"Yes, I have been interviewing NBA All-Stars for 20 years. I have seen Jordan's Eastern Conference and Magic Johnson's Western Conference, but I have never seen this year's Eastern and Western Conferences. The Eastern All-Stars look like they are playing against each other.
Finals, while the Western Conference All-Stars are playing in the preseason."
"The only ones who want to win in the West are Yes, Durant and Yi Jianlian. Yes is already so difficult, and there are two vegetables around. I guess many coconut fans now hope that Yi Jianlian and Durant don't want to win so much.
, without them holding us back, maybe yes could be humiliated a little less, but I'm afraid these two are too serious and undercover too thoroughly."
"..."
The training of the Western Conference All-Stars is very poor. Even if this is the All-Star game, you still have to show off.
But no one cared about it at all.
The head coach of the Western Conference this year is Suns head coach D'Antoni.
D'Antoni's own "butt" is not clean, so how can he dare to let the stars of other teams take it seriously.
If this were to happen, no one would listen to him.
Listening to the reporters around them whispering and reasoning, Yao Ming and Roy felt very uncomfortable.
On the one hand, he is his good friend, and on the other hand, he is the interests of the team.
They are really uncomfortable.
Things are much better for Nash and Marion Jr., and the Suns players can't bear it, but they have an excuse. The team's head coach is right next to them, preventing them from working hard for yes and their great teacher here.
They felt better.
With various thoughts on their minds, the Western Conference All-Stars ended their final training.
"Little Ye Zi, let's just treat tonight's game with a normal attitude. Don't be too stressed. Once it's over, we'll get over it."
After the training, Yao Ming always wanted to say something to Ye Si, but seeing Ye Si's serious eyes, after Yao Ming finished saying what he had been thinking about for a long time, he felt his face burning.
"Little Ye Zi, I'm sorry, I can't help you tonight, tonight's game."
Yao Ming's face was full of guilt.
In this game, he really couldn't go all out.
Now the battle for first place in the Western Conference has reached its most intense moment, and any slack will become a turning point in this season.
The strength of the Rockets and the Suns is very close.
The Rockets have been double-killed by the Suns in the regular season.
The Sun wants their place in history.
What the Rockets pursue is home court advantage.
The two teams are now just a hair apart. The two teams are now like peerless masters competing for internal strength. If anyone is distracted or relaxed, he will be shattered to pieces!
"Brother Yao doesn't have to be like this."
Ye Si actually understands Yao Ming's mood very well.
This year may be the Rockets' best chance to win the championship. If they miss it, it may be really difficult in the future.
No matter how many Yao blacks there are in Houston, no matter whether the team owner is a vampire or not, this year, the Rockets do have the best chance to compete for the championship.
Faced with such an opportunity, if Yao Ming misses it, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Brother Yao, I have something to ask you for tonight's game."
Yao Ming, who was still feeling guilty, looked at Ye Si with some confusion.
He really wanted to help, but he really couldn't help...
If Xiao Yezi's request was really too embarrassing for him, he really had no choice...
"Brother Yao, you don't have to spend anything on the defensive end in this game. You can just stand there and direct traffic with your hands raised. But on the offensive end, as long as you see Howard, you will fight to death!"
"Brother Yao, I know you will use at most 50% of your strength in tonight's game. I hope you can use all 50% of your strength to deal with Howard."
After Ye Si finished speaking seriously, Yao Ming's eyes opened wide.
Is this requirement difficult?
Not difficult!
As the number one center in the league right now, even if he doesn't plan to go all out in the All-Star Game, the game time will be indispensable, at least thirty minutes.
To be continued...
