On January 1, the NBA officially announced the final results of the 15 All-Star voting. Paul and Garnett were both selected for the starting lineup of the Eastern Conference All-Star team.The other three players are Wade, James, and Howard.

Paul's selection is well deserved. As far as the performance of this season is concerned, there is no guard in the East that can compete with Paul; Garnett's is more driven by the aftermath of last season's double MVP and his own super popularity. , In terms of performance this season alone, it is not necessarily much better than others.

But American fans are still happy to see Garnett in the All-Star Game, because in the Eastern Conference forward voting competition, the player who competed with Garnett for the second place is none other than Chinese player Yi Jianlian.

Even in the first two stages of the voting competition, Yi Jianlian's number of votes was on par with Garnett's. It was not until the third stage that Garnett slowly opened up the "gap" of tens of thousands of votes.

The American fans are happy, but there are many fans in Huaxia who broke the news that Yi Jianlian could not vote, and complained that the league had a "black-box operation".

In this regard, the alliance is also very helpless.After the draft, Yi Jianlian first broke the news of "rejecting the Bucks"; then his 19-year-old age was also suspected of being fake; he entered the league after getting the Bucks' starting commitment, and his performance was also very average.The starters in the rookie game are not stable. If the enthusiastic votes of Huaxia fans directly overwhelm the double MVPs of last season and be elected as the All-Star starters, it will be difficult to explain to the fans.

It is also because of Yi Jianlian's terrifying votes this season that NBA officials have decided to make reforms to adjust the weight of votes for All-Star voting in other regions outside of North America, mainly targeting Chinese fans.Otherwise, let alone Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, who may land in the NBA next season, may directly enter the All-Star!

The Western All-Star team is led by Kobe and Duncan, with Yao Ming, Nash and Anthony entering the starting lineup respectively.It is worth mentioning that due to his rookie season, he refused to appear in "garbage time".

Anthony is on the blacklist of the coach union. As long as he can't start, he basically has no chance to enter the bench voted by the coach.This season, Anthony aims to beat Nowitzki in the starting voting and finally no longer needs to be hindered by the coaches.

On January 1, the Eagles will be a guest at the Oracle Center to challenge the Golden State Warriors!

Last season created the third black eight miracle in NBA history. After soaring into the sky, the Warriors continued their "dark horse true colors" this season.Continue to sweep the league with gorgeous running and bombing.Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington.Biedrins' starting lineup can also be regarded as a very capable presence in the league.

Last season, although the Warriors were "double-killed" by the Eagles, both games dragged the game into the final decisive moment, which itself shows that the team is not weak.Especially Baron Davis, who is physically strong and has strong impact, has an obvious advantage against Paul, who is known for his dexterity and agility!

However, this season, in order to fight against strong point guards such as Deron, Billups, and Baron Davis, Paul gained nearly 10 pounds in one breath, and his confrontation ability was greatly improved.

Coupled with Paul's own relatively good defensive awareness and "low-level" defensive skills, Paul's defensive performance against heavy guards has greatly improved this season.

After the warm-up, the two teams made their debut.

Biedrins is a well-known "rebound idiot" in the league, ranking among the top three in rebounds per game.But the good data does not mean that the ability has really reached this position.Biedrins is good at rebounding. In addition to his own consciousness and physical talent, the Warriors focus on running and bombing, and his teammates defend on the outside. Many simple rebounds will not be grabbed by Biedrins.

And Garnett, as the four-time rebounding champion, does not have much honor in his honor, no matter whether he is surrounded by blue-collar workers like Nesterovic and Olowokandi, or "pseudo-insiders" like Dior and Madsen, Garnett can maintain a high level as always.

Garnett wins the jump ball, Paul drives to the three-point line, Baron Davis takes the lead, and the Warriors play man-to-man.

Paul passed the ball to Garnett in the middle of the three-point line, and ran to the left to open up space.Garnett turned to face the frame, Biedrins gave a step and a half away, not close to the body.

Garnett's mid-range is at the power forward position, but there is a grade gap with the No. [-] Dirk Nowitzki.Old Nelson dared to bet that he didn't have a stable sight for two points like him.

Joe Johnson is 70 degrees to the right, and Battier is in the right corner, all pulled away.

Diaw made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Paul. The latter stood up from the baseline, ran back up the line, and circled to the left 70 degrees to receive the ball. Harrington switched defenses in front of him, preventing Paul from shooting directly.

Just an off-the-ball pick-and-roll involved, and the Warriors' defense was not tight enough. Paul dribbled a step and passed to Garnett, who was suppressing in the middle.The wolf king took the ball and took a step forward, leaning against Biedrins at the free throw line, and passed the ball to the left low post from close range with one hand.

Dior went down to catch the ball and made a three-step layup, scoring easily. 0:2.

Before the two insiders of the Eagles returned to the defense, the Warriors did not talk about martial arts, and played the Eagles' offensive and defensive transition by quickly serving the bottom line. Baron Davis hit the Eagles' basket with the ball, picked the basket with his right hand, and hit board score. 2 to 2.

After catching the opponent's inside players to score, they quickly form a conversion attack. This is the strength of the Eagles, but it was directly copied by the old Nelson.Ke Yan turned his head to look at Old Nelson, and then withdrew his gaze.

The Eagles attack, Paul and Garnett play a pick-and-roll in the middle, Baron Davis has a general awareness of chasing and defending, Paul opens up space on the left side to attract Biedrins to help defend, feints and does not shoot, and passes to Gane in the middle special.

Biedrins returned in time to block in the middle. Garnett took the ball in front of the free throw line and made a mid-range shot. In fact, he suddenly started and hit the basket, causing a foul by Biedrins.

The Latvian is the Warriors' most aggressive defensive player, but his defensive awareness isn't as good as the numbers suggest either.

The Warriors attacked, and Baron Davis singled out with the ball. He got a chance by simply changing direction and pushed Paul away.

Garnett stepped forward to defend and defend, and formed a double-team with Paul who was chasing the defender. Davis passed the ball to the basket while marching. The board is hollow into the net. 4 to 4.

Paul took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Joe Johnson. The latter broke through from the left with the ball, oppressed Jackson's defense, made a stop jumper, and bounced out of the frame.

Biedrins took the backcourt rebound and passed it to Baron Davis. The latter dribbled the ball forward in one breath, and dribbled the ball from his crotch to the center.

Paul chased all the way and put pressure on Davis.Baron Davis dribbled the ball behind his right hand near the free throw line and changed direction with his left hand. At the same time, he stepped back with his left foot to distance himself from Paul, took the ball with both hands, shook Paul, and then moved towards him. . . . . .

Baron Davis' style of play is explosive and is very popular among fans; but this attack actually imitated another bearded man's foul, which really surprised Ke Yan.

The Eagles attacked, and Garnett caught the ball with one step outside the free throw line. Biedrins continued to give him one and a half steps of space. Garnett raised his jumper, seized the opportunity, and made an accurate hit. 6:6.

The Warriors attacked, and Davis and Ha led a pick-and-roll in the middle.Dior switched defenses and blocked Davis' breakthrough route, preventing him from accelerating.Davis reluctantly turned his back to Dior, turned to the left and got stuck again.

Davis is strong, which is relative to a guard, and Diao is soft, which is relative to an insider. If you really want them to fight, Diao really won't lose.Davis scored the ball, and Monta Ellis made a "catch the ball" and hit a difficult three-pointer. 9:6.

One day in the future, Monta Ellis will also claim to be the "second shooting guard in the league"; although it is bragging, Monta Ellis is not ridiculed much. He has been selected as an All-Star and has no threat to big-name players; secondly, Monta Ellis is really good at hard skills, and he is a player who has a bit of cancer in his style of play, but he can score with his own personal ability.

The Warriors really had a good start, and the Eagles had to make some responses.In the next attack, Paul chose to do it by himself, and used the pick-and-roll to break into the Warriors penalty area. Paul made a fake "pass" and took Harrington away; but he changed direction the moment the ball left his hand and pulled the ball back. Under his own control, he scored with a light backhand layup. (9:8)

Monta Ellis was feeling hot, and Baron Davis also chose to delegate power, letting his "little brother" lead the team's offense. Facing Battier's defense, Monta Ellis relied on his speed and stride frequency. The advantage opened up the shooting space and made a mid-range shot!

This is not over yet, Dior's slightly careless pass was completed by the "upper" Monta Ellis to complete the steal, and then the impact of the steal, Monta Ellis directly flew into the air, ignoring the rush to the basket to prepare Dior, who "turned the merits into a crime", bumped into him abruptly!

"Bang!" Monta Ellis, who had fully opened himself, made a swift and violent move. While abruptly knocking Dior to the ground, he completed a dunk that could be regarded as the top five goals in his career!

"HATAMAZING!" The commentator at the scene tried his best to mobilize the atmosphere of the Oracle Center, and the fans at the scene also fell into a state of madness!

The home atmosphere of the Oracle Center, looking at the entire league, is also the existence of three contenders!

The Warriors themselves are also a "crazy" team. After the morale is played, the players' offense is more resolute and neat. With today's good touch, the Eagles who are rushing hard are quite uncomfortable!

After the first quarter, the Warriors led the Eagles by 38 points at 25:13!

During the break, Keyan did not criticize the team's defense, but only rearranged the team's offense and boosted the team's morale.

"In fact, our defense is pretty good, but Monta Ellis' 8-of-7 shooting in the first quarter is unconventional. Many, except for the explosion of Monta Ellis, our offense can't score, and the Warriors' constant offense and defense conversion is a more serious problem. We need to be more patient in our offense and try not to follow the Warriors back and forth Run, we have to break their rhythm."

赛季至今，勇士队的战绩为23胜16负，排名西部第八。这支球队是典型的需要按照把比赛纳入到自己的节奏中的球队，赛季至今，得分超过120分的比赛，他们取得了4胜0负的成绩；得分在110到12分之间的胜率则是7胜4负；而得分低于100的情况下，他们的战绩仅为3胜8负。

Whoever can limit the Eagles' offense will have greater confidence in the matchup with them.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ke Yan adjusted the team's rotation lineup. Paul and Joe Johnson continued to play, with the rotation lineup of Sefolosha, Warrick, and Anderson.

The Warriors lined up Azubuike, Monta Ellis, Pietrus, Clothier, and Chris Webber.

The Warriors mainly focus on running and bombing, and the old Nelson hoarded a large number of backcourt and wing players in the team's bench lineup, but ignored the construction of the inside.The fact that the high-ranking rookie O'Bryant became a parallel importer once again confirmed that the Warriors' system is not friendly to inside players!Webber and Clothier also have a certain shooting ability and can barely use it.

The old Nelson's idea is still to hope that Monta Ellis can continue the touch of the first quarter and lead the team to maintain the lead in the score.

However, Ke Yan arranged for Paul to switch on Monta Ellis, and at the same time Sefolosha was also protecting Paul's defense. The two most mobile players on the Eagles defensively put their defensive energy on Monta Ellis. , This treatment is almost catching up with Iverson.

Going back to the offensive end, the Hawks mainly focus on Joe Johnson. Azubuike’s height and confrontation are not comparable to Joe Johnson, and Joe Johnson is frequently suppressed in single defense; Old Nelson directs Pietrus to switch defenses, and Joe Johnson and Warrick , Anderson played the pick-and-roll, making use of Pietrus' weak ability to break screens to make a fuss!

Seeing that the team couldn't defend against the Eagles' offense, the point difference was slowly narrowing.After 3 minutes in the second quarter, the point difference was narrowed to only 4 points left.

Seeing that the Eagles had a clear advantage in the battle against the rotation lineup, and the team's lead was eroded in a short period of time, Old Nelson also saw his tricks and resorted to "foul tactics" to target Warrick!

Warrick's career free throw percentage is 54%. Under the deliberate targeting of the Warriors and the noise at the Oracle Center, Warrick made 6 of 2 free throws, which also confirmed the success of Nelson's tactics.

Old Nelson is worthy of being a famous coach, but this on-the-spot dispatch was very targeted.But the more unfair point is that the Eagles have superstars in the formation. If Garnett implements the same tactic, the effect will undoubtedly far exceed that of Warrick.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while."Ke Yan "protects" Garnett on a daily basis and controls the opponent's playing time in order to reduce Garnett's unnecessary loss and allow him to provide higher-quality offense and defense when the team needs Garnett to stand up.

Garnett made his debut again. Clothier and Webber couldn't stop him from scoring in the interior. Old Nelson had to replace the two veterans with Biedrins and Harrington.

However, both the score and the momentum of the game have been chased back by the Eagles, and the Warriors will not be easy to play next.

The Eagles' offensive tactics are simple and effective. Garnett and Anderson take turns to play high pick-and-roll cooperation for the backcourt. Paul or Joe Johnson is used as the starting point of the offense to control the rhythm of the game.

For the Warriors, under the care of Paul and Sefolosha, Monta Ellis' touch finally declined, and his scoring was not as aggressive as in the first quarter.At the same time, the Eagles play pick-and-roll and attack slowly, and the Warriors' offensive and defensive transitions are not easy to play.

第二节比赛，老鹰队打出了一波43:23的逆转，反过来以68:61领先了勇士队8分。

"In this game, Sefolosha's role was reflected. As soon as he came on the court, the Eagles could offer the strongest defensive lineup. The Eagles did not perform well at the beginning of the game, and they were often blown by the opponent's outside stars. Because people like him are missing." CCTV broadcast this "confrontation war", commented Zhang Reasonable.
