Chapter 542 The regular season in the second half of the All-Star

The intensity of the main match of the All-Star Game is slightly greater than that of the Rookie Challenge, and it is only a little bit.Fans are actually very conflicted. They want to see good-looking games, and they also hope that the stars can play with real guns and live ammunition instead of playing with their fists and legs.But the stars are not stupid. It is an entertainment game. If it is really played like a regular season or playoffs, if it is injured, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

It doesn't make much sense to win this kind of entertainment game, the main thing is to make the fans happy.Moreover, all-star players are important assets of each team. Even if the star wants to play hard, the team will not agree!

Coach Casey did not let his favorite general Yingxiong play for too long. He allocated the playing time of the All-Stars well and did not neglect anyone.

Ying Xiong is very satisfied with Coach Casey's arrangement. He doesn't care about winning the MVP of the All-Star Game. As long as everyone has fun and the fans are happy, everyone is happy.

In the end, the Western team defeated the Eastern team 143:138 and won the All-Star Game.Chris Paul of the West team scored 20 points, 15 assists and 4 steals in the game. After voting by fans all over the world, he finally won the 2013 All-Star Game MVP.

And Yingxiong scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, completing his second trip to the All-Star Game.For him, he didn't feel the slightest loss when he didn't win the MVP, and being able to spend this weekend happily with the people he loves and the fans who love him is the most important thing.

The 2013 Houston All-Star Game has officially come to an end.The end of the All-Star Game also indicates that the regular season is about to enter the second half.In the NBA, the All-Star Game has always been a watershed. All the strong teams in the playoffs are sprinting for the final ranking, and those teams that are expected to enter the playoffs are also fighting for a ticket to the playoffs. effort.Of course, some of those underdogs who are hopeless in the playoffs are even slowly entering a bad state, accumulating energy for next season's draft, and striving to get a high-ranking pick.

The Raptors are a strong team in the playoffs, so naturally they won't be bad. Their goal is the championship, so as soon as the All-Star game is over, the team starts to assemble and prepare for the next game.

Ying Xiong had no time to send Sun Jing and the others back to China due to training, so this task was naturally handed over to Li Jianwu.Originally, Li Jianwu planned to return to China after the All-Star Game, but domestic assistants have told him many times that he has new business needs to be negotiated.As Ying Xiong's Chinese agent, he is getting better and better now, and he is getting more and more handy in his work. He is afraid of delaying business and dare not stay in the United States for too long.

Parting is always very sad, Ying Xiong and Sun Jing are aware of this, so they did not choose to let this happen, one walked away quietly, and the other devoted himself to training.

On February 2, after a 20-day rest, the Raptors once again entered the regular season.Their first game after the All-Star break was against the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards ranked second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference last season. With 2 wins and 15 losses this season, they firmly occupy the top 36 in the Eastern Conference. The possibility of entering the playoffs is infinitely close to 5.Obviously, this is a rebuilding team. Since the team cleaned up the "general", it has been doomed to the current situation.The advantage of rebuilding the team is that you can get high draft picks.They won the No. 0 pick in 2011, John Wall, and picked Bradley Beal, the No. [-] pick in the draft before this season.It takes time for young people to grow, and as a rebuilding team, there is plenty of time for talent to grow.

The Raptors have won 11 straight, and the topic of who can end their winning streak has been brought up again.Although the Raptors are playing away in this game, there are still not many people who think that the weak Wizards can beat the league's No. [-] team that is now in good shape.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Wizards at home is: Center - Nene Hilario, Power Forward - Emeka Okafor, Small Forward - Mattel Webster, Shooting Guard - Brad Radley Beal, point guard -- John Wall.

The starting lineup of the Raptors in the away game is: center-Valanciunas, power forward-Amir Johnson, small forward-DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard-Ying Xiong, point guard- Jeremy Lin.

Nene and Valanciunas prepare for the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

Following the referee's throw of the ball, Nene seized the commanding heights and passed the ball to Okafor, and the game officially began.

Wall dribbled over and Jeremy Lin went to defend.The two are somewhat related.Both of them were rookies in 2010, but one was the No. [-] pick, while the other was an undrafted pick.In the summer league that year, Jeremy Lin faced Wall in a game, and his performance was no less than that of his opponent.During the period of Linsanity, the direct dialogue between the two was evenly matched.Today, Wall continues to occupy a core position in the Wizards, but he has not yet tasted the taste of the playoffs; Jeremy Lin signed with the Raptors and followed Ying Xiong. Journey is at hand.

Wall is 193cm tall and has the unique advantages of speed and athletic ability at this position.He can take the ball to the opponent's basket and force a layup, or he can use the pick-and-roll to create opportunities for his teammates.As a point guard, his organizational skills are quite good, and his ability to switch from defense to offense is also one of the best among point guards in the current league.

But his shortcomings are also quite obvious, and may limit his future advancement to a higher level.His mid-range and long-range shooting is very bad. So far in his career, his 3-point shooting percentage has never exceeded 30%, and his shooting percentage has never exceeded 45%. His turnover has never been lower than the average of 3 times per game.

A guard who can't shoot, of course, has the opportunity to become an All-Star, but it is inevitable that at a certain time, he will be targeted by the opponent.

Jeremy Lin defended Wall with one step. Obviously, the opponent's shooting weakness is well known.If the opponent hits the pick-and-roll, he will go around the screen and shrink back to prevent the rush.

Jeremy Lin gave Wall space to shoot, but Wall didn't know whether it was because he didn't have confidence in his shooting or for some other reason.

Bill feints and pulls up for a jumper -- misses.

Amir Johnson got stuck, received the rebound, and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

Jeremy Lin pushed forward, and also played a high pick-and-roll, and the score went down to Valanciunas, who made a strong attack at the basket-missed.

In the first few minutes of the game, the offensive success rate of the two teams was not high, and the scores were also very low. The fans on the scene seemed to be falling asleep.The Wizards have a poor record, and there are only a few fans on the scene. I believe that once the official performance starts to fail, the number of fans will only become even rarer...
