On January 1, the NBA officially announced the votes for the second stage of the All-Star voting, and Garnett still occupies the top spot.

In itself, Garnett is very popular in the United States. He has the title of "bigticket", and he is also the only inside player who can sell shoes. Secondly, Garnett has been aggrieved in the past two seasons. This season is finally elated. Fans In the end, there is also the factor of Ke Yan. After all, the Eagles have a lot of broadcasts in China. The popularity of Garnett, Paul and even Joe Johnson is much higher than that of players of the same level. It is also a huge advantage for Eagles players to compete for the All-Star starter!

In the voting of the backcourt players in the East, Paul also ranked second, second only to Wade, who shined in the Finals last season.

Wade and Paul are both young people who are currently only holding rookie contracts, but they "gauze" their seniors in popularity, which also shows the impact of the new generation of guards in the league on their seniors.

Joe Johnson ranks fifth in the backcourt of the Eastern Conference. Considering the record-setting results of the Eagles and the bundled marketing of the "Big Three", it is not ruled out that Joe Johnson can participate in the All-Star Game as a substitute player.Of course, it is not ruled out that due to the relationship of "balance", the alliance chooses someone else.

Except Paul and Wade.In addition to Garnett, the other two starting positions of the Eastern Conference All-Stars are occupied by James and O'Neal. James is currently the only player who hopes to compete with Garnett for the "voting king".

The Western All-Star lineup is McGrady, Kobe, Stoudemire, Duncan and Yao Ming.Nowitzki and Nash are foreign players after all, and unlike Yao Ming, who has a strong vote base, they have always suffered a disadvantage in the All-Star voting.

However, the two international players didn't care that much about it. Even Yao Ming, who was voted into the starting line-up by Chinese fans and Chinese fans in the United States every year, obviously didn't care about the All-Star Game, and even didn't accept it.

After a day off, the Eagles ushered in a challenge from the Sacramento Kings at home.

Since sending Webber away, the Kings' record has continued to decline. Last season, they only entered the playoffs as the seventh place in the Western Conference. Gentleman swept.

During the offseason, the Kings let go of Bunch Wells, a powerful winger who averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds per game in the playoffs due to contract issues. The bench lost a powerful single point, although Adelman promoted Kevin Martin into the rotation lineup to strengthen the team's offensive firepower, but it is still difficult to reverse the team's sinking.

Kevin Martin is a typical "offensive strong and defensive weak". On the offensive end, he can find opportunities to shoot and score, but on the defensive end, no one can defend him.

Facing the Hawks, Martin performed well on the offensive end, making 13 of 8 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 3 free throws, 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, becoming the most stable scoring point for the Kings.

However, on the defensive end, Kevin Martin also became a breakthrough for the Eagles, and Artest took the initiative to take over the important task of defending Joe Johnson;

But in the face of Battier, Kevin Martin was still being chased and beaten. Battier, who had been barely performing singles tasks for half a season, unexpectedly became the team's offensive tactical arrangement in the fifth game when he came to the Eagles. Singles with the ball, Kevin Martin in misplaced singles, Battier's height, strength, and confrontation are all dominant. With a little effort, Martin can be pushed away, and then he can shoot easily.

Garnett also suppressed Kenny Smith of the Kings in the interior, and formed an echo with Battier in the interior. The Eagles easily established a double-digit lead and maintained the lead all the way.

"Sean felt the feeling of Anthony today~" Since the overall game intensity is not high, Ke Yan is also relatively relaxed on the sidelines, and even has the mood to joke with Hornacek beside him.

Hornacek is not in a particularly good mood. How can I put it? From Kevin Martin, Hornacek saw himself in the past. He has superb shooting skills, weak confrontation, and is easy to be chased by superstars on the opponent's front line. It also dragged down the Jazz to a certain extent.

"If the Jazz had a shooting guard like Joe Johnson, we should be able to overturn the Bulls." Hornacek said sentimentally.

".

I think so. "Ke Yan paused, and then said, "This season can prove that Paul is the Stockton of the year, KG is the Karl Malone of the year, and Joe Johnson should be able to win the championship. "

Ke Yan and Stockton were talking off the court, but there was a sudden change on the court.Through a fast break opportunity, Artest came to the frontcourt with the ball, pushed aside Joe Johnson's harassment and made a "powerful dunk".But when he returned to the defense, Artest was a little bit up, and then I saw him swung his elbow directly to Joe Johnson's temple, turning Joe Johnson's elbow to the ground.

"Aw! Aww~ Aww~!" After overthrowing Joe Johnson, Artest was still beating his chest and roaring. This behavior undoubtedly angered all the Eagles players present at that time.

Paul was the first to find Artest. Facing the 183 Paul, Artest pointed his finger in his face with disdain, and was immediately slapped away by Paul.

Before Artes had time to go further, a sudden force came from behind, and he staggered directly, almost fell to the ground. Looking back, hey, isn't this fighting and retreating Garnett? ?

Artest was about to explode, but was pulled down by other Kings teammates on the court. The referee and the on-site staff quickly controlled the order to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

The audience at the scene also made provocative words to Artest, provoking him with various swear words.

Artest, who made a big mistake, sat alone on the bench like a plague god, listening to the abuse of the fans on the sidelines, and kept silent, while the other players of the Kings stood up. From this scene, we can also see that the other players of the Kings The relationship with Artest is not harmonious.

In fact, when the conflict happened just now, the Kings players were basically all in control of the situation, and none of them came up to "help punches", which can explain the problem.

"He used a dirty move to hurt an Eagles player! He must be expelled from the league, such a murderous move should not appear on the basketball court! Even if it is a murder of passion, he will go to jail!" Watching the replay just now through the headset, Ke Yan rushed to his side furiously, emphasizing Artest's "crime" repeatedly.

At this time, as the head coach, if he doesn't show up, no player will work hard for himself!

"Kimi, I hope you stay calm, we are watching the video, the league will give Artest the punishment he deserves!"

"It's not just the alliance, I think the federal court should intervene! Otherwise, your legal provisions are no different from straw paper!"

".

"The referee is also very depressed. The federal court intervenes in this matter. How can these referees arrange it!"

Ke Yan's continuous pressure on the sidelines had some effect after all. Artest was sent off directly + multiple suspensions could not escape, and Paul and Garnett were saved.Garnett backed a technical foul, while Paul retained his "innocence."

Of course, the worst thing is Joe Johnson, because he hit his temple with an elbow, and there is a possibility of "concussion". The league's mandatory regulations are that Joe Johnson will leave the field immediately and go to the hospital for a brain CT. He must ensure safety before returning arena.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and everyone's thoughts are on after the game to see how the league will react to Artest's malicious foul.

At 119:95, the Eagles lost troops and won a disastrous victory.

After the game, Ke Yan got the CT report of Joe Johnson's brain immediately, and took the CT report directly to the press conference.

"Artest's elbow action is dangerous and unprofessional, and no one with a normal brain should make such an action. I ask him to go to the psychiatric department to register!"

"Artest did indelible damage to the image of the league by beating fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Afterwards, he expressed his regret countless times, but it turned out that he had no regrets at all, and he did not have the ability to fulfill his promise! "

"The latest medical report shows that Joe has two bleeding spots in his brain, and he needs to be observed in the hospital for a long time! All this is because of Artest!"

Ke Yan used various exaggerated words to express his anger at the press conference. At the same time, he threw out Joe Johnson's report to get sympathy points, and also put pressure on the league to punish Artest heavily.

As one of the "traffic teams" of this season, the news of the Eagles is also the focus of attention of major media.Something like this happened, everybody chapter.What's more, the target was a "notorious" player like Artest. Immediately, various articles supporting Keyan and supporting the heavy punishment of Artest appeared in newspapers and on the Internet.

"Toughness does not mean barbarism, Artest's actions shame the entire NBA! "

Tolerance of Violence Only Breeds Greater Violence! "

"Bad players like Artest will ruin the NBA sooner or later"

"Even in a boxing match, elbowing the temple is a forbidden move! "

Under the crowd's mouth, Artest's own weak defense was a little weak. In the "Auburn Hills Palace incident", Stern issued an unprecedented fine to him for "he wanted to kill him quickly".

In the past two years, the league has focused on discipline, promulgated a "zero tolerance" policy, and even suppressed Anthony who caused the "Madison Square Garden incident", let alone Artest?

The direction of the wind once moved towards Artest's "one-year ban"!

In this regard, Ke Yan was a little surprised. After all, in his previous life, Artest also had a similar "elbow incident", and even directly opened up Harden's "second line of Ren Du", but the league's handling was high Rising, falling gently, only played 7 games. In the game between the Thunder and the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, Artest had already returned to participate in the battle.

But when you think about it, it's normal.One is the credit of the Los Angeles media, which directly gave Artest an "inadvertent elbow" and "Harden hit Artest's elbow with his head"; the other is the manifestation of the influence of the Lakers in the league. The two "rich" teams, the Lakers and the Celtics, do have some preferential treatment; the third is because of the league's playoff viewing considerations.

Similar mistakes, in the Kings and Lakers are two different situations.The media in Sacramento will not speak for Artest, who is not his own; the Kings do not have the status of the Lakers; the Kings outside the top eight in the Western Conference, viewing is not important!

That is, on the second night, the league announced the result of Artest's punishment: "Suspend 30 games and impose a fine of 100 million US dollars. After the suspension expires, you need to pass a series of psychological evaluations before you can return to the game. .”

This penalty is directly the second ticket in league history, second only to Artest's 73-game suspension after the Palace of Auburn Hills.To a certain extent, it gave the Eagles justice, and directly put the Kings into the ranks of bad teams.

Regarding the league's penalty decision, the Kings chose to acquiesce and accept, which made Artest very dissatisfied and aggravated the conflict with the team.In a private interview with the media, Artest said that he had finished his last game with the Kings and hoped to leave the team before the trade deadline.

This is really a chicken feather!

Things have changed, and Ke Yan also needs to refocus his attention on the Eagles.

Qiao Johnson does brain CT once a day and pays close attention to the situation of intracranial hemorrhage. However, according to Wang Lifan’s professional opinion after watching the film, this kind of situation usually requires a recovery period of 7 to 10 days, and haste makes waste. Therefore, Qiao Johnson Johnson will also miss some time.

The Big Three have transformed into Paul and Garnett's internal and external dual-core, and the Eagles are still strong.Against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers at home, they still have the upper hand in terms of strength.

Last season, the Clippers were a more eye-catching dark horse than the Eagles. They entered the playoffs with the sixth place in the Western Conference. The Gentlemen swept the Denver Nuggets 4:1 in the first round. The inside combination of Kaman and Brand made Camby and Martin totally blows it up.

Unlike the dark horse Supersonics in the 0405 season, the Clippers did not "fall" in the new season, but continued to forge ahead.Cassell's aging allowed Livingston to take on more tasks, and the opponent's inside attack routine was figured out, allowing Maggette at the small forward position to digest more ball possessions, hit the basket more, and create lethality !With a more varied style of play, the Clippers occupy the seventh place in the Western Conference.

In this game, considering that the Eagles had Garnett on the inside, Dunleavy decisively focused his offense on Maggette on the outside, using Maggette's football player's physical fitness to suppress Battier, and then opened situation.

Battier is known for his strong defensive ability, but in any case, a player known as a "defensive champion" who has been defending the core of the opponent's perimeter for a long time is definitely not weak in single-defense ability.In the face of Maggette's "hunting pursuit and fierce attack", Battier and Garnett arranged in stages and blocked the opponents in stages, easily grasping the opponent.

As for Maggette, a player with superstar-level physical fitness, his singles ability is not weak, and his free throws are a must in the league, but there is a reason why he hasn't hit it all the time.His golf quotient is very low, and his passing awareness is extremely poor. The Clippers let him play the main offense, and Garnett can flank him unscrupulously, without worrying about him splitting the ball or sending a threatening pass.

The Hawks contained the Clippers' offense and continued to play quick counterattacks, dragging down Brand and Kaman, a pair of less mobile inside partners.In the end, they defeated the Clippers 108:91 and won the first victory without Joe Johnson.

In the whole game, Garnett sent 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, which was very comprehensive!
