Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 106 The sprint after the All-Star Weekend!Goal: Overturn the Spurs and rise to No. [-] in the Western Conference!

After defeating the Celtics, Lu Yong announced that the team had a holiday.

In the next three days, players can relax and enjoy the last period of vacation before the sprint of the regular season.

This year's All-Star weekend will be held in New Orleans on February 2.

The Sonics have four players participating in the Rookie Challenge and one player participating in the All-Star Game.

The All-Star Weekend is a stage for the players, and they will be the absolute protagonists of these three days.

As the head coach, Lu Yong is not interested in this kind of occasion. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many supersonic players participating this year, and he has to accompany the players to fly to New Orleans, he actually wants to take advantage of the holiday to rest and sleep in bed for three days and three nights .

The highlight of the first day of the All-Star Weekend was the Rookie Challenge. Lu Yong sat on the sidelines as a spectator and witnessed this unsightly "rookie fight".

Just as he expected, although this first-year rookie team is very strong, after all, they have only entered the league for a short time, and their experience and physical development are not as good as those of the second-year rookies.

In the end, 135 to 152, the first-year rookie team lost the match.

荣获新秀挑战赛MVP的是二年级球星布兰登-罗伊，出战34分钟，砍下35分5篮板4助攻2抢断，命中率超过60%。

Roy's average per game this season has increased to 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Like Durant, he was selected as a Western Conference All-Star as a substitute.

With fully developed experience, body and skills, he played this kind of rookie game to reduce dimensionality. He scored 35 points by paddling on the field without much effort.

The best performance of the first-year rookie team was Kevin Durant, who played 32 minutes and scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists against Roy. .

Noah's playing style is suitable for playing in the Sonics' offensive system, so he has no tactical status in the Rookie Challenge, and he is instantly reduced to a blue-collar insider. His performance is not as good as that of third-round pick Al Horford.

After the game, Lu Yong comforted the disciple, telling him that no fans would pay attention to his performance in the Rookie Challenge, and that next season's All-Star and All-Defensive team is what he should do.

Noah, who was comforted, felt a lot better. Although his performance in the rookie game was not good, he is the No. [-] supersonic center in the west. There is no doubt about it.No fans will look down on him because of an entertainment game, just sprinkle water.

The next day's skill/three-point/slam dunk contest didn't include Sonics players. Lu Yong didn't even bother to go to the scene, so he just lay down in the hotel and slept until the afternoon.

When he woke up from his sleep, even the finale of the slam dunk contest was over. Lu Yong watched the game through replays, and it was Magic star Howard who won the championship and became the new slam dunk king.

Lu Yong was very impressed in this slam dunk contest, and Howard's flying dunk in Superman's jersey is considered a classic.

Although it is not as good as Carter's top dunkers in terms of viewing alone, it is not easy for a big man with a height of more than 2 meters to make this kind of dunk, showing his explosive physical fitness to the fans.

The three-point contest was won by the Heat's star Kapono, a man who even Curry was willing to bow down on fixed-point shooting.

It's a pity that Kapono's athletic talent is too bad, so bad that he can't even play in the second division. He can only be a spot-up shooter, and his offensive role is single and full of limitations.

As long as Kapono's athletic talent is better, Lu Yong will find a way to trade him to the Sonics. With the blessing of the offensive system, he will definitely be able to cultivate the top shooters in history.

However, the world is fair. Kapono's shooting skills must be obtained by sacrificing his physical fitness. If his physical fitness is as strong as Carter's, his shooting touch will not be so soft, and he must take the dunking route.

The All-Star Weekend is held for three days from the beginning to the end, and the finale on the last day is the full-fledged All-Star Game.

This year's All-Star vote leader is Celtics star Kevin Garnett, which is not much different from Lu Yong's prediction (visual inspection). In the end, he won a total of 239 million votes, which is more than the second-ranked last vote leader LeBron- James has 20 more.

Chinese star Yao Ming received 170 million votes, ranking fourth in the Western Conference and seventh in the league.

Yi Jianlian, a first-year rookie, averaged only 8 points and 5 rebounds per game after being selected by the Bucks. However, he still won 45 votes in the end, ranking fifth among Eastern strikers, very close to Paul Pierce who ranked fourth.

Thanks to Yi Jianlian, who was unable to squeeze Pierce into the All-Star selection, otherwise Pierce would definitely be laughed out of his teeth and thrown to his grandma's house in embarrassment.

Durant won a total of 108 million votes, squeezing out Carlos Boozer, who was selected as an All-Star in a parallel world, for a strong counterattack.

Boozer is really unlucky in this life. He has been selected as an All-Star twice in his career. As a result, Lu Yong instigated a butterfly effect last year and was squeezed out by Pau Gasol. This year, he was overtaken by Durant. The stats of 20+10 this year missed the All-Stars, which can be called the biggest grievance under the butterfly effect.

Without the two-time All-Star status, Boozer's historical status will definitely decline, but the personal data he cut is real, and his worth will not drop seriously. It is nothing more than missing the incentive written in the contract. terms.

The starting five of this year's Western Conference All-Stars: Iverson, Kobe, Anthony, Duncan, and Yao Ming.

Substitute 7 people: Nash, Paul, Durant, Roy, Gasol, Nowitzki, and "Little Bully" Stoudemire.

Five starters in the East: Kidd, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard.

Substitute 7 people: Billups, Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, Pierce, Bosh, Antawn - Jamison, Rasheed - Wallace.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and watched the match. Although the tactics were not visible in the entertainment game, when 24 stars from the East and the West gathered together, it was a visual feast in itself.

在平行世界，今年的全明星正赛是东部获胜，詹姆斯砍下27分8篮板9助攻2抢断2盖帽加冕全明星MVP。

James went all out in this All-Star Game. From the beginning, he rushed to the AMVP, with 22 shots, the highest in the game.

However, it was the Western Stars that had the upper hand in this match, and Kevin Durant, who came off the bench, became the little butterfly flapping its wings.

In the first year of entering the league, he partnered with the big brothers in the All-Stars. Durant was nervous, but the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. He appeared in the last 4 and a half minutes of the first quarter. He hit three consecutive three-pointers at 45 degrees on the right side, with a hot shooting touch. It directly stunned the Eastern Stars.

In the All-Star Game, everyone would not defend with all their strength, and they would just stretch out their hands for meaning.

Durant has played under Lu Yong for half a season, and his grasp of open three-pointers is much greater than in the parallel world.

Facing the symbolic interference from the Eastern Conference, Adu blazed a trail and led the Western Conference Stars to gain the upper hand.

In the second half, as the point difference did not widen, the two teams also began to strengthen their defensive strength.

In the last 6 minutes of the final quarter, "Little Melon" Anthony suddenly exerted his strength, scoring 17 points in the half quarter and leading the team to victory, beating the Eastern Conference 156-151 in a thrilling manner.

安东尼全场打了32分钟，19投12中，三分球8中5，罚球4中4，砍下33分6篮板2助攻1抢断，生涯首次捧起AMVP奖杯。

Rookie Durant played well in the first half, contributing 11 points and 2 rebounds in the half, much better than Tim Duncan, who scored only 2 points in his first All-Star game.

However, in the second half, as the intensity of confrontation between the two teams increased, Durant's scoring efficiency dropped. For the first time in his career, the All-Star data was fixed at 16 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, which did not embarrass the Sonics.

After the All-Star Weekend, the regular season has also entered the final sprint.

Lu Yong didn't know if the Sonics players had cherished their holidays these days. He only knew that the upcoming schedule would be very difficult for the Sonics.

Whether they can overturn the Spurs and rise to No. [-] in the Western Conference depends on the final sprint.

　Today’s third update is all dry stuff. It’s boring to be an All-Star who is not the head coach and participates in the coaching. He just mentions it in one stroke.

　　Seeing that the author is so sensible, asking for a ticket is not too much, right?
