Chapter 296
The 2008 NBA All-Star Game was held in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is the first time in the history of the Hornets to undertake the All-Star Game. It's just an All-Star substitute, but in the guard-studded West, he can be selected as a substitute lineup with Nash and Iverson. This is enough to show that fans love this season's grumpy and talented guard.
And I have to say that Paul's luck is also good. He is ranked last in the Western Conference with only [-] more votes than Manu Ginobili.
After all, generally speaking, as long as the All-Star game is held in a certain city, one or more players will be selected for the All-Star in that city. Even if the strength or reputation is not enough, the All-Star is not just a matter that can be determined by strength. What's more, it still depends on the willingness of the league. As long as the league is willing to support it, a pig can be an All-Star!
All in all, Paul is definitely worthy of this All-Star. Even Gao Tian feels that Paul already has the strength of the All-Star starter. If he is asked to vote, he will definitely vote for Paul in the All-Star starter. Tickets, you must know that point guards generally have that kind of dominance at the peak of their careers, like Nash, Kidd, and even Isaiah Thomas, there are very few in the great history of the NBA who won it in the third grade. The point guard who played the dominant role in the game, of course, except for the BUG of the magician.
And when the Bobcats defeated the Eagles, the NBA All-Star Game will begin soon. This is a rare opportunity, but it has nothing to do with most of the Bobcats players, because Gao Tian himself was selected for the All-Star Game in the team. Star, among all the other players, Zhan En is the closest to the All-Star. Maybe his strength is enough, but his qualifications are still far behind.
As for the two Chinese in the team, Gao Tian knew without even thinking about the possibility of them being selected for the All-Star Game. David Stern would not allow this to happen. If that were the case, the NBA All-Star Game would become a It's a big joke. According to the number of votes, the Eastern All-Stars will become the Bobcats at a glance.
Gao Tian rejected invitations to the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Contest this year. He didn’t even intend to play in the rookie contest. There is nothing interesting, except for the overall mission for the whole season, and the system has not issued him a mission for a long time now.
Gao Tian himself wondered if the system was going to let him go?
That's fine, otherwise, the system would give him those moths every day, and he wouldn't be able to stand those weird tasks.
In addition to the rookie competition, Sun Yue, Gasol and Yi Jianlian were invited as first-year rookies, and Zhan En and Gao Tian were invited to participate as second-year players. Other than that, they were not invited to other events, which seemed a bit shabby , But there is no way, just like the three rookies of the Bobcats, they participated in the Rookie Challenge except Yi Jianlian was the starter, and the rest of the players were substitutes.
Maybe their strength is enough, but the Bobcats played so badly at the beginning that Yi Jianlian, who won the best rookie of the month among them, was qualified to start, and Sun Yue and Xiaojia Although Sol's stats are very good, they still lost the starting lineup in the end, because many people think their stats are fake.
Although it seems to be a stat, but in fact, which rookie's stats are not stats, that is, last year's No. 20 Durant averaged [-] points per game. Wasn't it because he was the only core of the Supersonics and got it with unlimited shots? ?
But sometimes people are like this. The prejudice in people’s hearts is like a big mountain. No matter how you move this prejudice, it is difficult to change. It is because Sun Yue and Gasol are foreign players that they get different eyes and Treatment, after Greg Oden was reimbursed for the season, the best rookie at the center position was Al Horford, who averaged 10.1 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, while Gasol averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.6 times per game In terms of assists, Gasol is better than Horford in terms of shooting percentage and comprehensiveness, but Horford just overwhelmed Gasol and became the first-year rookie starting center.
And Sun Yue is even worse. If the thing about Gasol can be said that his scoring and rebounding are not as high as Horford, then Sun Yue lost the starting guard with an average of 12+8+5 per game. He was replaced by Mike Conley, who averaged 9.1 points and 4.6 assists for the Grizzlies, and Corey Brewer, who averaged 8.8 points, 4, 3 rebounds and 2.3 assists for the Minnesota Timberwolves. I think Sun Yue is not good, it is because his teammates are too strong and Sun Yue looks very good.
And Yi Jianlian was able to sit firmly in the starting lineup because no one could compete with him at the power forward position. He averaged 18.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, while Jeff Green, who was closest to him, only had 10.3 With 4.4 rebounds and Yi Jianlian's recent outstanding performance, he has undoubtedly taken the starting position.
Neither Sun Yue nor Gasol took this matter to heart. They even smiled and comforted Ricky Davis, who had been complaining for them. Exaggeration, after all, Gao Tian's true shooting percentage is 52% of the NBA's historical level, especially Gao Tian's assisted shooting percentage is ridiculously high.
So this also gave them a lot of data invisibly, and they were well prepared before entering the NBA, especially Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian. This start was considered unexpected for them. Good start, what's not to like?
Stotts and Gao Tian walked together and looked at the players who were fighting and comforting each other. They saw the nervousness on Yi Jianlian's face, they saw the smiles and comfort of Sun Yue and Gasol, They also saw Ricky Davis who was always active, and Hill Webb and Kapono who kept laughing and watching them fight. Gao Tian and Stotts looked at each other. What else are they dissatisfied with?
"Perhaps we could consider organizing a group tour of New Orleans?"
Gao Tian remembered the delicious food he had eaten in New Orleans, and for a while he couldn't help but miss it.
And Stotts next to Gao Tian knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Gao Tian's appearance, he hurriedly said: "You can play, but they must not eat those foods like you, Gao, you must know that not all People will not be affected just like you!"
"Well, it happens that someone still owes me a meal, so let's talk about it!"
"Owe you a meal?"
Stotts felt a little sad for Chris Paul who had just reaped joy in the distance. There is no doubt that Gao Tian was planning to rip off his "brother" again.
