NBA: No. 1 Forward Chapter 186

Two days later, after the Knicks returned home, they vented all the depression accumulated in the away game on the Kings of Saramento. The Knicks played 101:65 in the three quarters, and D'Antoni gave all the starters in the fourth quarter. Pressed on the bench.

If the fight continued, it would be no longer a match, but an enmity.

But the Knicks' substitutes don't know if they were affected by the starting lineup. They played a wave of 8:2 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. D'Antoni had no choice but to switch to the third rotation.

Eddie Curry was also activated for the first time this season.

Originally, this would be a duel between the best rookies in the east and west outside the media, but Tyreke Evans was almost completely restricted in this game. Under Lian Dao's defense, he made 7 turnovers in the game. Rick Evans had a brilliant performance in the media, but he did not expect it to become a simple slap.

This was not only expected by the media, but also made them feel a little bit disappointed.

After the Knicks defeated the Kings at home, all the Knicks' games before the All-Star Game have ended, and their next regular season game will be after the All-Star Weekend.

So far, the Knicks have played a total of 51 games, 82 games in the regular season, more than half of the schedule has passed.

After the All-Star game, most of the teams in the East will be divided into three factions.

Teams that feel unable to make it to the playoffs will start to fail completely.

Teams that are trying to make it to the playoffs will make a surprise attack after the All-Star Weekend.

And the teams that have basically confirmed that they can enter the playoffs, they will also start to rest appropriately. After all, a season is very long. If a player plays every game, it will increase the risk of injury for the player. Appropriate rotation can ensure the health of the team lineup.

The Spurs are very knowledgeable about this point, especially for the rotation of players, and the reasons given are various.

The most shameless thing is that in order to get the No. 1 pick in Duncan, the Spurs did everything they could to directly make Admiral David Robinson "forced to be injured" for most of the season, and then four of the main players were injured. Most of the season was played off the bench.

In the 1996-97 season, the Spurs were 20 wins and 62 losses, but there was still a worse performance than the Spurs, that is, the Celtics, 15 wins and 67 losses, and some fight with the current Nets, but the final champion It was still won by the Spurs.

As long as Auerbach is still in the management of the Celtics, Stern will not let the No. 1 pick fall into the hands of the Celtics. It is said that Auerbach left the management of the Celtics on his own initiative and failed to compete for the No. 1 pick. is one of them.

The Knicks have achieved a record of 35 wins and 16 losses in 51 games. They are currently ranked second in the East, with the same wins as the Magic and one less loss than the Magic.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers (42 wins and 11 losses).

2. New York Knicks (35 wins and 16 losses).

3. Orlando Magic (35 wins and 17 losses).

4. Atlanta Hawks (33 wins and 18 losses).

5. Boston Celtics (32 wins and 18 losses).

6. Toronto Raptors (29 wins and 23 losses).

7. Charlotte Bobcats (26 wins and 25 losses).

8. Chicago Bulls (25 wins and 26 losses).

At present, except for the Cleveland Cavaliers who can dominate the entire Eastern Division, the next second and third teams have the same wins. It can be said that whoever wins the next game first will immediately change their rankings; The seventh and eighth places are also about the same, with a difference of one game.

The goal of the Knicks is to stay in the top three, so that they have a chance to avoid the Celtics in the first round. If they meet the Celtics or the Atlanta Hawks in the first round, it will be difficult for the Knicks to escape the first round. possible.

Once the Knicks face these two teams, the best ending for the Knicks is a tiebreaker, but Lian Dao feels that the tiebreaker is unlikely. The best result is 4:2. victory.

Recently, the record of the Boston Celtics has also declined. This is mainly because the Celtics have too many veterans. Pierce and Garnett are injured in rotation. Garnett was injured in January and missed several games. Just came back, the Celtics just played a few games neatly, and then Pierce was injured and truceed again.

The number of times the Big Three played together in January and February was almost pitiful.

So the decline in record during this period is also very understandable.

Even if there are very few opportunities for the Big Three to complete, they can still stabilize around the fourth and fifth places, so the Eagles are currently catching up, and they don't want to meet the Celtics in the first round.

In the next week, the NBA will enter the annual All-Star Game.

The 2010 All-Star Game will be held from February 13th to February 15th. Basically, the All-Star Game will be held during this time period every year, but this year the All-Star Game just coincides with the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Lian Dao has not celebrated the Spring Festival with his parents for two years. The last time he celebrated the Spring Festival was when Lian Dao was a senior in high school and entered the University of Southern California. During the Spring Festival, Lian Dao was leading the University of Southern California to the NCAA playoffs.

And this time, just in time for the All-Star Game.

The NBA All-Star Weekend has three days.

February 13th is the nba care action, fan carnival, nba celebrity game, rookie challenge, nbdl dreamworks skills competition.

On February 14th, NBA fan carnival, Eastern and Western star team training, NBDL All-Star Game, NBA All-Star Saturday Night, Shooting Star Contest, Skills Challenge, Long Shot Contest, Slam Dunk Contest.

On February 15th, the NBA Fans Carnival and the All-Star East-West Match.

Lian Dao will participate in the rookie challenge on February 13, the three-point contest and dunk contest on February 14, and the All-Star East-West matchup on February 15.

The entertainment nature of the All-Star Game is greater than the nature of the game. The NBA All-Name Game not only includes fans and NBA players, but also a large number of stars, singers, Hollywood actors, etc. in various fields. At that time, these famous people will come to the scene of the All-Star Game. It can be said that The All-Names Tournament is a combination of sports and entertainment.

To put it bluntly, the Rookie Challenge is a match between a first-year rookie and a second-year rookie. In previous years, there was not much to watch, because it was basically a second-year rookie against a first-year rookie, but this year is different.

Because Lian Dao is a first-year rookie, but his strength is not inferior to some superstars in the All-Star Game.

So this year, many viewers are also looking forward to the wonderful match between Lian Dao and the last best rookie Derrick Rose.

In addition to the All-Star game, the most concerned is the long-range shooting contest, which is the three-point contest and the dunk contest.

Last year, the league also revised the entry rules for the three-point shot contest and the slam dunk contest. The previous participating players were directly invited by the league, but since last year it has been changed to an invitation by the league and votes by fans. Fans will be invited by the league. Players vote to select six players to participate in the three-point contest, and the dunk contest has the same rules.

Lian Dao was undisputedly included among the six.

In addition to the defending champion Heat pitcher Daequan Cook, the other five players in the three-point contest are: Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics), Chauncey Billups (Denver Nuggets), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Channing Frye (Phoenix Suns) and Lian Dao (New York Knicks).

After Gallinari saw that Lian Dao signed up for the three-point contest, he decisively gave up. The daily training hall was already a blow, and he really didn't want to continue to be abused on the court.

The six-man roster for the dunk contest is.

Participating in this year's dunk contest are defending champion Nate Robinson (76ers ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Gerald Wallace (Bobcats), Shannon Brown (Lakers), DeMar DeRozan (Timberwolves) , Eric Gordon (Clippers), Lian Dao (Knicks).

The biggest hot spot in this year's All-Star game is still 23vs24. Although Lian Dao won the All-Star vote champion, this does not mean that Lian Dao's popularity can surpass the contest between James and Kobe. As the biggest hot spot created by Stern, they The duel between the two has definitely been a constant topic in recent years.

But there was an accident this year. Kobe's shooting index finger and little finger have been injured all the time, but he still insists on playing.

Against the Bobcats on February 4 and against the Nuggets on February 6, Kobe injured his left ankle in two consecutive games, which forced Kobe to truce.

Although Kobe is still in the All-Star starting lineup in the West, it is still unknown whether he will play the game.
