Kyle Korver declined the invitation to the All-Star Three-Point Contest in the end. As a result, only George and Bledsoe (Rookie Challenger) have already decided to go to Los Angeles to participate in the All-Star Game. Game), Brook Lopez to be determined.

In the game on February 8, the Nets played against the Wizards led by No. 1 pick Lang Wall. In the mid-season trade, the Wizards first traded Arenas to the Magic for Rashad Lewis, and then traded Caron Butler to the Mavericks for Josh Howard, who was in decline. The conclusion of these two transactions completely cleaned up all the players in the Wizards team that threatened Wall's core position. The Wizards, who originally expected Wall and old players to coexist peacefully, switched to a rebuilding mode, which can also be called a bad mode. . Compared with winning, the team is more willing to use a worse record to get a higher pick in the June draft, and then further complete the reconstruction with Wall and high-ranking rookies.

Encountering this kind of opponent with the purpose of training and losing, the difficulty of the game is greatly reduced. For the rest of his life, Lewis, who is only waiting to finish his remaining 3-year 63 million contract, has no fighting spirit. Josh Howard has bid farewell to this season due to injury, and the other teammates of the Wizards are not strong enough. Exercise your strong hitting ability.

97:122, the Nets beat the Wizards by 25 points in an away game, continuing to rank sixth in the Eastern Conference. (29-25)

In the second half of the season, many teams in the league have begun to focus on playing poorly. Against these opponents, the Nets can stay a little bit stronger, or test the lineup.

After entering February, rumors of trades from various teams in the league continued to emerge. Strong teams want to seize the last chance to strengthen, while weak teams can exchange for draft picks, potential rookies, etc. by eating junk contracts, and each gets what they need. Due to the unsatisfactory progress of the collective bargaining agreement, considering that many potential rookies may withdraw from this draft, the value of the draft picks in the 2011 season is also declining.

And Jiang Mingliang is also trying to get a higher draft pick by eating junk contracts. Of course, the premise is that he can do what he can, and Jiang Mingliang can't pay the luxury tax for the draft pick, and give up the chance to get dividends by the way.

It's just that the general managers of each company are good people, and it's not Jiang Mingliang's turn to do all the good things. Several deals were negotiated without success, and in the end they all disappeared.

On February 9, the league officially announced the All-Star Game substitute list selected by the two head coaches. Rivers directly selected the four Celtic candidates Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett into the All-Star list, and the other three positions were given to Joe Johnson, Bosh, and Stoudemire. you. The Western All-Star bench list is Deron Williams, Westbrook, Ginobili, Nowitzki, Duncan, Bynum, Gasol, Nash. Because Yao Ming was unable to play due to injury, Bynum replaced Yao Ming in the starting lineup, and president David Stern personally designated Kevin Love as the replacement.

The all-star lineup was officially announced, and it sparked a lot of discussions in an instant.

"When I signed up, I didn't dare to compete with Howard for the starting position. I saw that no one was competing with me except James for the forward position. I recruited Anthony and played off. I couldn't get the bench. I changed back to the center position, haha→_→"

"I was a striker when I voted, and a center when I was on the bench. It's really fickle!"

"Doug really dared to play, and all four Celtics players were selected for the substitute list. Is this really good?"

"This year is the strongest All-Star lineup in the Eastern Conference in recent years."

"Tell a joke, people who average 17+7 per game laugh at people who average 21+10 per game for not being eligible for All-Stars."

"Compared to statistics, popularity, and how exciting the game is, can Lopez compare with Stoudemire?"

Fans of the Blue Nets frantically expressed their dissatisfaction. The reason is simple. Stoudemire was selected as an All-Star as a backup center, but when he participated in the voting, he reported his position as a forward. This operation of the league violated the most basic procedural justice, and fans of the Knicks and Suns Stoudemire launched a defense.

"Honor swingman~" Jiang Mingliang's phrase directly pushed the controversy to a peak. "Honor swingman" is such an ironic title.

When it comes to public figures, Europe, America and Asia have never been the same. In Asia, at least in the same country, 99% of cultural and sports stars and public figures will not be merciless directly, even if they don't like each other. But in Europe and the United States, sorry, it's the stars who go up to tease them directly, and the fans watch the show and eat melons.

However, with Jiang Mingliang's leading role, the fans were overjoyed, and then began to spoof pictures and videos of Stoudemire.

Jiang Mingliang was born in a lawyer's family, and his grandfather was a lawyer, so I am very particular about procedural justice. Will not compromise on matters that undermine procedural justice. Stoudemire didn't want to compete head-on with Howard's popularity, and instead voted at the power forward position. Then when he finally chose a substitute, there was no reason to be selected as a substitute at the center position. In the end, it was his own fault.

Faced with Jiang Mingliang's provocation, Siu Si, who was not a good tempered person, immediately burst into anger. After playing the game against the Mavericks the next day, he said in an interview: "In the next game against the Nets, I will use my performance to tear his mouth open and let him take back the word. I will let him understand what it means cruel."

Under the rage, it was inevitable that some swear words were mixed in, and the subtitles of the TV station were directly filtered anyway.

To this, Jiang Mingliang's response was also simple, "Sixth\u003eSeventh."

Fortunately, the Nets happened to lead the Knicks by one game. Jiang Mingliang used the ranking to stimulate the opponent, which was reasonable.

Jiang Mingliang's stand for Lopez must have gained enough favorability in the team, and it also provoked antagonism between the Nets and the Knicks' future derby opponents. At the same time, he did not leave any retreat for himself.

If the Nets are not as good as the Knicks this year, that's a little bit. . . . . .

In fact, in the personnel arrangement of the All-Star players this time, Jiang Mingliang told Rivers to recruit all four Celtics players into the team at the same time, leaving only three places for other teams. , the least popular Lopez yet? Of course, there is nothing wrong with Rivers doing this. Who does not give priority to taking care of his own people as a coach? Feng Shui turns in turns, and the way of heaven is a good reincarnation.

On the league side, they did not interfere with the grievances between the general manager and the stars. In the past, Stern always had to call to do ideological work in such discordant scenes, but this time, Stern Turn found that this might be an opportunity to create a pair of rivals in the same city.

The 30 NBA teams are distributed in 29 cities, and only the Lakers and Clippers are rivals in the same city. But these two teams are not at the same level in all aspects. The Lakers are the No. 2 team in the NBA championship and the No. 1 team in winning percentage. The Clippers have only entered the playoffs 12 times so far, which is not as many as the Lakers won the championship. The best result is the second round. Tsk Tut tut. . . . . .

Although the Nets have a short team history and no championship, but the history of entering the finals twice is considered good among teams that entered the league relatively late. The Jiang Mingliang in front of him has two talents. Maybe he can really create a new pair of old enemies and create a new attraction for the alliance.
