Attack, attack doesn't work.
Defense, defense is not good.
If the Wizards continue to play like this in the new season, Wang Shuo feels that Rivers is simply sent by God to assist him and help him improve his historical status.
Facts have proved that in NBA, the head coach is so important.
The current Wizards, because Wang Shuo and Jordan left and retired one after another in the summer, and most of the players on the team have already won two championships, so their hunger for championships is obviously not as good as other teams.
Yes, there are people on this Wizards team who want to win three consecutive championships.
But the question is, does Rivers have the ability to bring them together and make them work towards a common goal?
The answer is obviously no.
Because compared to the chicken soup that Boss Joe used to have real benefits and greatly inspire players...
Does Rivers’ Chicken Soup for the Soul count as a der?
Well, it doesn’t matter if Rivers’ Chicken Soup for the Soul Wizards players don’t buy it.
After all, this Wizards has been the best defensive team in the NBA in the past two seasons.
Even if Artest left in the summer and Jefferson was traded shortly after the start of the new season, this team still has defensive heroes like Jackson and Wallace.
In addition, Gasol and Arenas have developed a certain understanding of the inside and outside partnership.
Even if the Wizards can't achieve the "total offense and total defense" they had before, Rivers can still achieve "balanced offense and defense" if Rivers builds it well.
But the question comes again, does Rivers have this ability?
Historically, Rivers was the head coach of the Green Army that successfully defeated Auerbach with a championship.
But was Rivers the one who created the Green Army's offensive and defensive system?
To be honest, let’s not say that he has nothing to do with Rivers. At the very least, the Green Army in Wang Shuo’s memory can win the championship. Talents such as Tom Thibodeau and Kevin Eastman are the real ones. The hero behind the scenes.
The former is also a coach known for his defense.
Perhaps, Thibodeau had a lot of flaws when he was a head coach.
But when he was an assistant coach, Thibodeau was definitely the top defensive assistant.
As for the latter, Eastman, who once served as the director of Nike Basketball Skills Development Department, is not only good at player training, but also has 22 years of coaching experience in the field of college basketball. He is also a top assistant coach with superb tactical theory.
In Wang Shuo's memory, after leaving the brain trust of the Green Army in the future, Rivers will use his coaching career to prove that no matter how strong the team is on paper, he will dare to be reversed and overturned. look!
Trivia.
In the original historical line, in the 2002/03 season, the head coach of the Magic who led the Pistons by a big score of 3 to 1 and was defeated by the Pistons in three consecutive games was none other than Doc Rivers!
So, do you think Rivers will only be reversed in various ways in the future?
This guy has a criminal record!
No matter how sensational Rivers' speech is or how sweet his chicken soup is, basketball is, after all, a sport where strength speaks for itself.
The head coach's own tactical and theoretical level, on-the-spot adaptability, and grasp of the team's overall overall situation are also part of the team's strength.
Even Larry Brown, who has been ruined by Wang Shuo in this life, Wang Shuo will not deny his defensive accomplishments.
On the court, under the wave after wave of Suns' offensive, Rivers, who had no idea how to deal with it, had to use all the methods that had been used by his predecessors on the court.
For example, using fouls to stop the Suns' fast break, or using zone defense to limit Iverson's breakthrough.
Then the first quarter ended, and the scoreboard read 24-38.
On the court, if it weren't for Gasol and Arenas' hard support, Wang Shuo really couldn't imagine what the Wizards would have done that night.
In the second quarter of the game, since Rivers put Crawford in the starting lineup tonight, he also lost an opportunity to draw a card.
This season, compared to other top teams in the league, the Suns' second lineup is by no means strong.
In Wang Shuo's view, the Wizards only need to slightly stagger the playing time of the starting players in the first quarter, and use the starting lineup with Crawford to lead the second team. The Suns' second team is simply unable to Compete with the Wizards.
But as a head coach who is very good at beating the main players to death, Rivers’ choice is:
Damn Gasol and Arenas.
In the first half of the second quarter, this inside and outside combination did recover a lot of points for the Wizards.
But in the second half of the second quarter, when the Suns' main players returned to recharge their batteries, the points that Gasol and Arenas had recovered in the first half were quickly beaten back by the Suns.
And, after Rivers's "masterful" chess moves that are comparable to those of the War Eagle...
The main players of the Wizards will obviously be more physically advanced than the main players of the Suns tonight.
as expected.
After the intermission, "Ai Sanfeng" was so tired!
In the first half of the game, due to playing time restrictions, Iverson only scored 13 points and 7 assists. In the third quarter of tonight's game, he not only scored 19 points in a single quarter, but also added 4 assists!
Led by the physically energetic Phoenix Golden Flash, Stoudemire and Marion also continued to attack the Wizards inside.
In a desperate moment, Rivers even didn't forget to provide an assist to the Suns in the second half of the third quarter.
I saw Haywood on the court and Wallace off.
Then......
There's no after that.
"Why did this kid get so fat all of a sudden?" Barkley asked while eating donuts with Wang Shuo on the Suns bench.
Touching his lower abdomen, which had gradually swelled due to eating snacks with Barkley recently, Wang Shuo sighed and said: "Brandon has always liked snacks, but during my coaching period, I was strict with him. control.”
According to Wang Shuo's visual inspection, tonight's Heywood may weigh 130 kilograms.
After Wallace came off the court, the Wizards' defense speed dropped significantly.
On the court, even if "Martial Saint" Jackson had the intention, it would be difficult for him to recover.
After all, Gasol and Arenas, who have been beaten to death by Rivers, are not good at defense.
So, after three quarters, the scoreboard read:
101 to 73.
In the final quarter of the game, Wang Shuo arranged for the players who did not collect enough data tonight to collect data for two or three minutes before taking the initiative to withdraw all the main players, saving the last trace of face for his old team, the Wizards.
In the end, as the timer reached zero in the fourth quarter, the final score of the game was fixed at 131 to 101.
The good news is that this game is a rare game for the Wizards this season in which the score breaks 100.
The bad news is that the Suns only needed three quarters to score the Wizards' entire score tonight.
Iverson played 29 minutes for the Suns and scored a total of 32 points and 11 assists.
Stoudemire and Marion played 28 minutes respectively and scored 25 and 21 points respectively.
For the Wizards, Gasol and Arenas scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 28 points, 7 assists respectively.
After the game, Rivers said with a depressed look: "Although Wang is a meritorious coach of the Wizards, I don't think the fans should ignore us like this on this night.
In addition, after Ron and Richard left, I think the current overall strength of the team has indeed been affected to a certain extent, and people should give us more patience.
We didn't defend well in this game, and neither Stephen nor Gerrard performed as well as they should.
Jamal also didn't play decisively enough. He should have scored more points. "
Tsk!
At the press conference, when reporters conveyed Rivers' post-match thoughts to Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo couldn't help but think of the superstars who would be dumped by Rivers in the future.
For example, before Wang Shuo traveled through time, Harden had just been dumped by Rivers.
But, let’s just say, is there a possibility that even if Rivers wants to throw the blame, he should be dumping the soft Emperor Embiid who can only be tough with his mouth?
After all, without Harden, Rivers might not even have a chance to be overturned by the Celtics.
However, only daring to pinch the soft persimmon is also a major feature of Rivers' coaching career.
At present, given Rivers a hundred courages, he would not dare to accuse Gasol and Arenas of having problems.
Because he still has to count on these two people to keep his job.
As for Jackson, Wallace…
In Rivers' eyes, role players are born to take the blame.
Wang Shuo felt that Rivers had quietly planted a big thunder for this Wizards.
But that night, when being interviewed by reporters, Wang Shuo didn't talk too much about the Wizards and Rivers. Instead, he was frantically canvassing for votes for Iverson, Stoudemire and Marion.
"Allen's performance this season has been enough to prove that he is the best point guard in the league today.
Amare is fully qualified to be selected as an All-Star. I have already discussed with him that he will participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
I designed a lot of moves for him. Believe me, you will definitely see a wonderful slam dunk contest.
I know that Sean's popularity has never been high, but in my opinion, he should also be selected as an All-Star because the league should not ignore a strong player like Sean. "
Right now, the first phase of voting for the 2004 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend has begun.
As the best chicken soup for the soul in Wang Shuo's eyes, in his opinion, nothing can be more powerful than helping players strive for personal honors off and on the court, and to challenge them on the court.
Although Stoudemire has greatly reduced the frequency of attacking the basket this season, he still brought a lot of highlights to the fans in the game.
In addition to the United States, Iverson is also extremely popular in China. If nothing unexpected happens this season, Iverson will definitely become the starting guard of the Western Conference Stars.
As for Marion…
Since this guy's looks and style of play really don't attract fans, Wang Shuo can only keep "reminding" the judges that they must not forget Shawn Marion when selecting substitute lineups in the future.
The next day, after Wang Shuo announced that Stoudemire would participate in the Los Angeles All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest, a large number of fans immediately gathered to watch.
In China, Stoudemire also has many fans.
Because this season, when being interviewed by Chinese reporters, two unlucky guys who had not done any homework before were actually questioned by Stoudemire...
After the news was spread back to China, it immediately aroused heated discussion among Chinese fans.
In sharp contrast, there is another talented high school student.
In December, maybe it was because I was stimulated by the popular "Little Overlord", or maybe I felt that I, the "little emperor", could not lose to the "little overlord" next door to the west...
In an interview, LeBron James told reporters: "I also like to read."
Then, it was the same as in Wang Shuo's memory.
When asked by reporters what books he usually reads, Zhan, a young man who was completely unprepared for a moment, began to look around and talk about him.
When he saw this news, as the leader of James, Wang Shuo never expected that his deliberate act of letting Stoudemire show off in front of Chinese reporters would cause such a huge chain reaction!
At this moment, Wang Shuo, who wished he could be "masked" first and then "married", hated him for forgetting that His Majesty the Emperor was the one he had laid for himself early in his career!
So, in the NBA, why can't we learn from Garnett?
Garnett has dyslexia, but Garnett never tells reporters that he is very educated!
Being uneducated is never a shameful thing.
After all, no one can decide where they are born, and no one can decide where they grow up.
It's shameful that someone who is uneducated has to pretend to be literate in public.
From the perspective of Wang Shuo, the leader of James, even...even if James reads a few Andersen's fairy tales or Grimm's fairy tales before bragging to reporters that he is good at reading?
Fortunately, the reporters did not embarrass James that day.
However, after this incident, Stoudemire's popularity in China has reached a higher level.
Because of Wang Shuo's relationship, as Chinese fans continue to get to know Stoudemire, they will find that Stoudemire really understands better than many Chinese people.
And coupled with his nickname of "Little Bully" and those wonderful dunks he played on the court...
Wang Shuo believes that when the All-Star voting officially begins, in addition to voting for Xiao Yao, Chinese fans will definitely not forget Stoudemire!
…
In December, since the Suns were not scheduled to play a Christmas game this year, Wang Shuo also received valuable Christmas vacation for the third consecutive year.
Before the start of the Christmas holiday, Wang Shuo, who led his team to end this Eastern Conference road trip with a complete victory, encountered a fierce sniper attack from the "Lakers F4" in Los Angeles.
In this game, Payton and Malone didn't fight, but the Lakers won instead.
On the court, O'Neal and Kobe, who were fighting each other, led the Lakers to a good half of the game respectively.
Bell, who still needs to level up, failed to lock down Kobe this night.
On the contrary, "Zen Master" used Kobe Bryant's strategy to defend Iverson and achieved good results.
As the future Iverson admitted in an interview, he was the player he least wanted to face on the court...
Although in the future, there will be a group of fans who only watch Excel and say that Kobe's overall shooting rate in his 7 finals career is only about 41%, which is much lower than that of James who "led the team" to the finals 10 times. The overall shooting rate in the finals was over 50%.
But you said...
Since you can use and read Excel...
So why can't you look up the data on the players who played against Kobe in the Finals and James in the Finals?
In the 2000 Finals, why did O'Neal call Kobe his all-powerful little brother?
Because in the four games that Kobe played, Reggie Miller, who was opposite Kobe, was limited to 37% from the field. In the two games that Kobe was injured and missed, Miller was The overall shooting percentage soared to 47%.
In the 2001 Finals, many people thought that Coach Lu and Fisher were guarding Iverson, but they didn't know that the Lakers' final move was to use Kobe to confront Iverson.
That year, when facing off against Kobe, Iverson's field goal percentage would exceed 40%.
In the 2004 Finals, although Hamilton did stun Kobe on the court, at the same time, he only shot 40.5% under Kobe's crazy attack.
In the 2009 Finals, Courtney Lee, who faced off against Kobe for most of the game, shot only 37.5%. In the 2010 Finals, Ray Allen's shooting percentage was even more limited by Kobe. 36.7%.
In fact, in the 7 finals of Kobe's career, in addition to Ray Allen, whose overall shooting percentage reached 50.7% in 2008, and Kittles, whose overall shooting percentage reached 45.2% in 2002, Kobe has been in 5 of them. He succeeded in doing so in the Finals, suppressing the overall shooting percentage of his opponents below their career level.
And what about Zhan, who would rather fight Thanos than Iron Man?
10 finals, the truth may be a bit hard to hear.
But the fact is that Zhan with all his strength only defended Bruce Bowen, who had no ability to attack independently.
In the 2011 Finals, the elderly Marion, who faced James for most of the game, shot an overall shooting rate of 47.9%.
In the 2012 Finals, Durant, who was not yet the "Reaper" at the time, shot 54.8% overall.
In the 2013 Finals, Leonard, who was still a sophomore at the time, shot 51.3% overall.
In the 2014 Finals, Leonard, who relied on James to win FmVp, was even more outrageous. His overall shooting rate reached an astonishing 61.2%.
In the 2015 Finals, even the Warriors' own fans admitted that Iguodala's overall shooting percentage in that round of the Finals was as high as 52.1%.
In the 2016 Finals, it was still Iguodala, but one year older, and he could still shoot 46.6% in front of James.
In the 2017 and 2018 finals, Durant, who joined after being defeated, had an overall shooting percentage of 55.6% and 52.6% in the finals in these two years.
In the 2020 Finals, Jimmy Butler's shooting percentage in the Finals was far higher than his career average of 55.2%.
Yes, in NbA, even if you are in the same position, it does not mean that you will definitely be in the upper position with your opponent in the game.
For example, when James was a young man, in the finals against the Spurs, James would often take the initiative to defend Parker during the game.
Then what?
Hot knowledge, Tony Parker was the FmVp of the 2007 NBA Finals.
On the basketball court, it may be an accident that once or twice a player in the same position performs well beyond his or her career level.
but......
What about 9 times?
It can't all be teammate cbA, Zhan is trying his best, right?
It is true that Kobe's shooting percentage in the finals was not high, but many people ignored the defensive tasks he took the initiative in the finals.
Just like you can't deny the defensive contributions he made to his teammates on the court just because Garnett's mid-range shot can't kill anyone.
Indeed, James had a higher shooting percentage in the Finals.
But you can't turn a blind eye to the FmVp that James personally sent out in the finals!
ha?
You say that Kobe's defense is great because he has strong teammates helping him?
If you don’t understand, just ask. During the OK three-game streak, if you said Fisher could help Kobe on the court.
During the "Second Lakers Dynasty", in the NBA, was there any defender who had an easier time than Fisher?
Also, if he is really better than his teammates, no one really thinks that Wade before he was forcibly lowered in history by "Brothers Basketball" was not the top perimeter defender in the league at that time, right?
Does anyone really think that Dellavedova and his team's defense that wants to kill Curry is just a show-off, right?
No way, no way!
To be honest, even the leader of Zhan Mi like Wang Shuo cannot be so shameless.
But unfortunately, as long as you don't watch the game and only watch Excel, you will never be able to break through the defense of that group of people.
Even if they look at Excel, those people have to look at the data that is beneficial to their idols.
"If the Lakers use Kobe to guard Allen in the playoffs, how should we respond?" On this day, after losing to the Lakers before the Christmas break, Mike Brown asked with a worried look.
Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Then guard him!"
Wang Shuo knows very well, because Kobe knows that he has never been Jordan, so what he has always been good at is dragging his opponents into the rhythm of fighting together, and then using his physical strength to complete the strangulation of his opponents.
But when it comes to the playoffs, how can Wang Shuo give Kobe his wish?
At the fourth position for the Lakers this year, Malone and "Cobra" Grant, who jumped back to Los Angeles from the Magic this summer, are both older.
Therefore, when it comes to the playoffs, who will let Iverson go one-on-one with you, Kobe?
Wang Shuo believes that as long as Iverson and Stoudemire start the pick-and-roll in the playoffs, everything will be fine.
They lost to the Lakers in an away game. In December, before the Christmas holiday, on the 23rd, the Suns unexpectedly lost to the SuperSonics in Seattle.
In this game, Wang Shuo didn't even review the game after the game.
Because this game was played on the 23rd night, the Suns generals were obviously thinking about the upcoming Christmas Eve.
As for why Sonics players weren't bothered by Christmas Eve...
Because they can go home after the game, how can they be as anxious as the Suns players who need to fly back to Phoenix?
From December 5th to December 23rd, the Suns players who had been playing away games during this period had already been tortured by this wave of Eastern Conference road trips and Western Conference road trips.
Wang Shuo knows very well that players are humans, not machines.
Therefore, after leading the team back to Phoenix, Wang Shuo immediately announced that the team would be disbanded and everyone would go back to their homes to find their mothers and spend the holidays in peace.
At this time, this rare and precious vacation is far more effective than Wang Shuo saying a hundred words of chicken soup for the soul to the players.
Compared with the previous two years, this year after getting to know Ambrosio, a "good friend", Wang Shuo finally felt what a real "Christmas holiday" is.
In the hotel room, looking at Ambrosio who had already filled the room with a Christmas atmosphere and even put on an "elk costume" to add to the atmosphere, Wang Shuo, who always did what he said, did not show any interest in this hot-bodied Brazilian. You're welcome, young lady.
After first explaining to her what "distant friendship and close attack" meant, Wang Shuo immediately explained to her what "false ways to attack Guo" meant.
"Then what does it mean to be a guest?" Ambrosio, who was "frank" with Wang Shuo, asked with a "curious" look on his face.
After lying down on the big bed in the hotel, Wang Shuo smiled and said: "I am the host and you are the guest. I think with your wisdom, you should be able to understand what it means to be 'reverse as the guest'."
After hearing this, Ambrosio smiled, and she, who had always been "study", immediately felt what "broad and profound" meant from Wang Shuo.
"Are your attacks always so fierce?" In order to "defend" Wang Shuo, Ambrosio, who had already used all his strength to "defend" Wang Shuo this night, asked breathlessly.
Wang Shuo smiled and said: "You know, I am the star coach in NBA who is best at breaking press defense."
"Then can your attack be more intense?" Ambrosio asked, after gradually adapting to Wang Shuo's "offensive intensity" and even resorting to the "dirty move" of "biting" during defense.
Wang Shuo was happy and said: "My coaching style has always been that the more I fight, the braver I get!"
"On the court", facing Ambrosio's "Death Coil", Wang Shuo, who didn't panic at all, used the "Dragon Grab" with his backhand. You know, in NBA, people don't know how to use "little moves" on the court. But there is no way to survive in NBA.
That night, in this anxious match, both Wang Shuo and Ambro admitted after the break that the other was the strongest opponent they had ever met.
During the halftime break, Ambrosio leaned against Wang Shuo's chest and asked: "Next, can I go to watch your game at home?"
Wang Shuo used his restless hands to help Ambrosio check whether she was injured from the "game" just now, and smiled: "No problem."
"Do you like cosplay?" Ambrosio asked while drawing circles on Wang Shuo's chest.
Wang Shuo said seriously: "I am definitely an expert in this field."
Ambrosio chuckled twice and said, "I still have a lot of cosplay costumes. Can you help me 'taste' them from a 'professional perspective'?"
Wang Shuo shrugged and said, "I'm very happy."
With the passionate Phoenix and the passionate Brazilian girl, Wang Shuo spent his Christmas vacation perfectly this year.
After the Christmas break, in the final game of 2003, the Suns defeated the Celtics, 76ers, and Clippers.
In these three games, the Suns won easily.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the Suns played at home against the 76ers.
This season, although Marbury played pretty good numbers under D'Antoni, when the game ended, looking at Marbury's expression that could only be written on his face, Wang Shuo felt, The 76ers are likely to trade him in the future.
Under the leadership of D'Antoni, the 76ers have also become an offensive team this season.
But they still need to upgrade their lineup and are currently only ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference.
After the game, D'Antoni had a late-night snack with Wang Shuo, and as a visitor, when Wang Shuo's Brazilian female companion went to the toilet, he reminded Wang Shuo: "You will be 30 soon, so you should take care of yourself." , Never forget your daily exercise because of your busy work.”
Regarding D'Antoni's concern, Wang Shuo expressed his deep gratitude and said with a smile: "I get up and run every morning now."
No idea.
Since he has a Barkley with him, Wang Shuo, who doesn't want to become Anxi's coach in the future, has recently begun to strengthen his physical training.
…
Say goodbye to 2003, and at the beginning of 2004, that hated road trip to the Eastern Conference is back!
On January 1, after the NBA officially announced the results of the first two All-Star voting periods and the results of major awards in December, the Suns will go to Detroit in the "New Year's War" on the 2nd to challenge the team currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference. piston.
Although O'Neal has felt the horror of the Chinese market since Xiao Yao entered the league, today, when the results of the first two All-Star voting came out, O'Neal still couldn't believe it...
How could he lose so completely!
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, in the original All-Star voting, in order to retain O'Neal's reputation as the league's number one center, Stern would have Yao narrowly defeat O'Neal with only tens of thousands of votes.
But as the trajectory of history has been completely disrupted, with Xiao Yao playing "20+10" star center statistics this season, why does Stern need to take people's feelings into consideration?
In this life, the enthusiasm of the Chinese market is even more outrageous than in Wang Shuo's memory.
Because as his popularity in the country becomes higher and higher, he, Yao Ming, and Happy Boy Wang Zhizhi have already brought Stern an NBA prosperous era that he could not even imagine before!
This season, Stern, who originally thought that the popularity of the NBA would drop significantly after Jordan retired, found through various data that after the Chinese market was completely opened, the popularity of the NBA did not drop but increased.
So while it may hurt O'Neal to say it...
But if Stern hadn't been behind his back, Yao Ming's actual number of votes would have made O'Neal even more desperate.
In addition, Iverson also tied with Kobe in terms of votes for Western Conference guards this year.
Although the "Eagle County Incident" greatly affected Kobe's image in the minds of American fans, there is still that sentence...
If you Americans are unwilling to vote for Kobe, what does that have to do with my Chinese friends?
Since Wang Shuo and Jordan had only praised and boasted about Kobe before, after Jordan retired, many old Wizards fans and Jordan fans in China regarded Kobe as their spiritual sustenance.
But how do these Chinese honeys know...
As fans of Kobe's "global concert tour", the reason why Wang Shuo and Jordan praised Kobe so much before was just because they wanted to hear more of Kobe's ordinary "sound of iron" on the court?
In addition, at the forward position, Garnett and Duncan also felt the terrible popularity of Stoudemire.
Fans who hoped Stoudemire could save the dunk contest like Wallace voted wildly for Stoudemire in the voting.
Plus there are Chinese fans who have no idea how many votes they can cast.
Don't ask, the question is, in the All-Star voting, if strength can be a living, then how could Carter be the All-Star voting leader for so many years in Wang Shuo's memory?
After winning the Western Conference Player of the Month in November, Iverson also won the NbA Western Conference Player of the Month in December with his outstanding performance of averaging 33.1 points and 11.7 assists per game.
It is worth mentioning that compared with the past, Iverson fans preferred to brag about Iverson’s ability to attack critical moments...
Now, Iverson’s fans have changed their minds:
It's a pity, this season, why don't you give Allen a chance to prove himself in the fourth quarter?
In the public opinion, God knows how many fans are full of resentment for this "Versailles" behavior of the Amys because their stars "win hard and lose easily"?
In Wang Shuo's previous life, why did many people like to brag about Jordan's "never tiebreaker in the finals"?
Because being able to defeat your opponent without waiting for a tiebreaker is an excellent proof that your strength is far superior to your opponent's, isn't it?
No, such a promise is not worth boasting...
Are those stars who were frequently swept in the finals and easily defeated by their opponents within five or six games, but who had to rely on tiebreakers to win twice out of four times to win more worthy of praise?
What nonsense logic?
In December, in addition to Allen Iverson winning the Western Conference Player of the Month, O'Neal won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.
In addition, the Rookie of the Month awards for the Eastern and Western Conferences are divided between James and Anthony respectively.
And looking at Stoudemire next door, who is expected to be shortlisted for the All-Star Game because of his participation in the dunk contest, James, after working with his team, once again gave Wang Shuo, a die-hard James, a tough job:
"LeBron is eager to participate in the dunk contest, and he hopes to prove himself in the dunk contest.
But not necessarily Los Angeles, maybe he'll be in the slam dunk contest next year, maybe the year after that. "
Because Wang Shuo helped Wallace design the dunk action, it is still widely praised by fans...
Therefore, James, who was worried that he would not be able to compete with Stoudemire in the Los Angeles Slam Dunk Contest, while hoping to use the Slam Dunk Contest to gain fans for himself, did not forget to leave himself some room for change in the future.
Anyway, I might be in the slam dunk contest, or I might not be.
As for when I will participate…
Only God knows!
After learning about James's remarks, Wang Shuo was "heartbroken"!
At this moment, Wang Shuo hated that the little emperor was surrounded by a group of slanderous and flattering ministers!
After all, James had just celebrated his 19th birthday at this moment, so even Wang Shuo couldn't believe that the young James who was independent from the world, the humble and prudent, and just older, could be so smooth and worldly. It would be so depressing!
In short, it cannot be James who is at fault, it must be the group of traitors around him! His Majesty the Emperor must be good. It’s no wonder that these people are giving him blind ideas every day!
But here comes the problem...
Usually after adulthood, after taking charge of the court...
An emperor who can be played with by people around him like this, in ancient times, should he be called:
——Puppet emperor or unprincipled emperor?
Of course, as a die-hard James, Wang Shuoduan did not dare to think like this and question LeBron James.
On January 2, in Detroit, the Suns successfully got revenge on the Pistons.
In this blockbuster showdown between the top of the Eastern and Western Conferences, the quality of the game is still extremely high.
Although the finishing score of the two teams was only 101 to 94.
But the fans enjoyed a game that represented the highest level of NBA today on the evening of the 2nd.
At this moment, Carlisle, who also needed to level up, made a major mistake in this game.
That is, he did not take advantage of the second quarter, when the Suns' bench was almost out of breath, to add another fire to the Suns.
Since this season, the Suns have habitually exerted their strength in the third quarter, so Carlisle also put his focus on the third quarter this time.
However, this adjustment allowed the Suns to successfully stabilize their situation, which was on the verge of collapse in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, the Pistons really withstood the pressure of the Suns.
But in the final quarter, as the game entered a stalemate, the power of Iverson's "one-point rain" was fully demonstrated on this night.
This Pistons has a slightly weaker hard-hitting ability, but its success lies in its balanced offense and defense.
But when Iverson was able to continue to kill the Pistons' defense through "one-point shots", the Pistons obviously had problems on both offense and defense.
After this game, Carlisle and Wang Shuo also realized the importance of home court advantage in this year's playoffs.
Because no matter how much the league wants to promote Iverson, in the playoffs, the number of free throws Iverson gets at home and away is not the same.
But compared to the east where Carlisle is...
This season, it is obviously more difficult for the Suns to have the best record in the league.
On January 9, after ending the team's Eastern Conference road trip in 2004 with four consecutive victories, the Suns returned to Phoenix and suffered a head-on attack from the Kings, a strong team in the Western Conference.
In this game, although Webb was unable to play for the Kings due to injury, the Suns, who had just defeated the Bulls on the evening of the 8th, were also affected by back-to-back games.
In addition, Bibby, who had excellent touch this night, also used his 34 points for the Kings to offset the critical damage of Iverson to a certain extent.
Wang Shuo knows that if the Suns want to get a better record, the only way at present is to ignore the dissuasion of Phoenix's "repair shop" and beat the main force like D'Antoni.
Then, after destroying these players, wait for the new season, and the Phoenix "repair shop" can restore these players to "factory settings."
In Wang Shuo's view, this kind of behavior is not worth the gain. Even if it is the last resort, he will not choose to take this path.
Because in this era of monsters inside, you can't let Wang Shuo learn from D'Antoni and use Marion to play center, right?
That approach worked for a while, but it couldn't help the Suns advance to the finals.
19th and 23rd.
The Suns suffered another two defeats in the New Year.
The opponents are the Lakers and Spurs respectively.
In Wang Shuo's opinion, there is nothing to say about the game against the Lakers.
Because on the 18th, the Suns had just finished back-to-back games with the Trail Blazers.
If it were the previous Wizards, Wang Shuo could deal with this kind of back-to-back by rotating the main force.
But in Phoenix, Wang Shuo, who has limited manpower, must first ensure that the Suns can steadily defeat opponents that the Suns can win.
In Wang Shuo's memory, this Lakers team, which reached the finals despite constant internal friction, will not become weaker because of Wang Shuo's usual complaints. Instead, it will only become stronger because of the Suns' sharpness in the new season.
"Zen Master" can arrange for Kobe to play the entire game.
But Wang Shuo didn't want Iverson and Kobe to fight on the court all night.
As for the loss to the Spurs on the 23rd, it also confirmed Wang Shuo's previous conjecture.
That is, after being stunned by the Suns in the opening game, the Spurs really regarded the Suns as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their side on the way to the championship.
In this game, Sima Bobo switched to Duncan as the center, took the initiative to speed up, and defeated the Suns who had just come down from the Denver Plateau on the evening of the 22nd with their attacks.
Although on the evening of the 22nd, Wang Shuo successfully led his team to capture the Denver Plateau.
But Wang Shuo doesn't understand...
Do these NBA staff who arrange the schedule really don’t know how hard it is to play on the plateau?
In January, either on the road of the devil schedule, or the sun that had just finished the devil schedule, after defeating the Knicks on the evening of the 31st, ending their regular season in the first month of the New Year with a record of 39 wins and 10 losses, and continued Lead the west.
However, in the league's total record rankings, the sun has been opened by 42 wins and 7 losses.
On February 1, the results of the NBA All -Star voting and the results of the major awards in January were released.
This year, with the unsatisfactory record and the influence of Wang Shuo's departure, Gasol failed to defeat in the battle for the first position of the Eastern Star Center to win the full -time manpower of the village.
Eastern stars send five people as follows:
Big Ben, Xiao Ao, Carter, McGrady, Kidd.
The western stars are as follows:
Yao Ming, Garnett, Kobaya, Kobe, Iverson.
With the full support of Minnesota's hometown, Garnett successfully defended his full -star starting position.
But Duncan, who was broken in San Antonio, was not so lucky.
Because Sima Bobo's classic "excessive scores on the court will affect the team performance", Duncan cannot be like Garnett, with the help of teammates, by brushing a wave of good -looking data to obtain more to get more good data to obtain more to obtain more good data to get more to get more good data to get more to get more good data to obtain more to get more good data to get more to obtain more good data to get more data to obtain more. Support of neutral fans.
Moreover, from Duncan and Garnett's ball style, the latter is indeed much more handsome.
Therefore, in recent years, Duncan, who has been increasingly impressed by loyalty, has become more and more determined after the full star voting results of this year:
In the future, he must go to a larger city to prove himself!
Duncan, who was only 28 years old in April this year, believes that after he gradually transformed into a floor flow, his peak period could be maintained at least 35 years old.
So he was not afraid to come again from scratch. He was only afraid that he continued to delay time in San Antonio, a city with no exposure.
In the NBA, no players can be truly arguing with the world.
At present, there are only one championship, one finals MVP, and Duncan, a regular season MVP, has deeply realized ...
At present, in terms of personal honor, team honor, and popularity, he has no advantage in this group of competitors in the same age.
Therefore, even in the last two years of San Antonio, the Spurs could win another championship, Duncan made up his mind to leave here.
In addition, after Yao Ming snatched the starting position of the western star center for two consecutive years, the cracks of O'Neal and the Lakers management were deepening.
Because in O'Neal's view, Kobe can continue to stabilize the west when negative news entanglement ...
But he has been bleeding and sweating for the Lakers, but he has not been supported by the Los Angeles people. In the eyes of O'Neal, this is simply an unreasonable thing.
In fact, O'Neal completely blame the Lakers' management and wrongly blame the people in Los Angeles.
Because of the little Los Angeles ...
Where can I compare the Chinese market with nearly 1.3 billion people?
But just like, after experiencing unsatisfactory things, they like to throw the pot for teammates ...
Because O'Neal couldn't believe it, he was unwilling to admit that his popularity was not as good as Yao Ming, so he naturally could only throw the pot to the Lakers management.
But now, O'Neal is more proud of himself, and the more he wants to raise the Lakers to raise the salary of him, in the eyes of Jerry BAS, he was time to leave Los Angeles.
"If we still can't win the championship this year, rebuild it!" On this day, Jerey BAS said to Kupchek.
"But the boss ... if you reconstruct, who should we use the core?" Kupuchek in his heart asked about it.
"Leave Kobe! Although he is now on the field of negative news, you have also seen that he still has a large number of supporters in China.
And he is even more young. At the same time, he is a rookie we chose. Even if he is dissatisfied with the team's reconstruction in the future, I have confidence to persuade him. "Old Bas told Kupchekk.
After hearing that, after getting the boss's clear instructions, Kupapkk said at this time: "I understand what you mean, boss, I will prepare in advance."
A series of historical changes caused by the results of all -star voting this year are temporarily pressed.
In January, the best monthly player in the West was obtained by the "full force" of the full -force model in order to defend the first position of the All -Star.
In all 18 games for the Timberwolves in January, Garnett's averaging time reached an amazing 45.4 minutes!
In January, it could score 27.5 points, 17 rebounds for the team, plus 5.5 assists and 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals.
But even if the "Wolf King" was crazy in January, he could only win the second in this year's MVP ranking.
Because in many people ...
As long as Iverson can complete this season, he is still leading the two rankings of the scoring scoring and assisting king, and he should be unsuccessful to be elected as the regular season MVP this year.
In addition to Garnett's January Western Month Best player, the best player of the NBA Eastern Month in January was obtained by Michael Reed.
In addition, the best rookie in the East and West Months in January is still divided by the two brothers of James and Anthony.
Even in January, Wade's various data are equivalent to James, and the hot record is better. Leader's temperament "!
As for those "brainless blacks" who questioned the selection after the selection results were released, it was clear that they did not know what the gold content of Zhan Zhan was called "舚".
Nonsence!
Why did the judges "詹" Zhan? The judges are clearly maintaining the "fairness, openness, and justice" of NBA?
With this year's stars' weekend, the west stars first released the list, and later on the 1st, the NBA officials have also announced the alternative list of the East and West Star Teams of the Los Angeles All -Star Game.
Marine, who was chanted by Wang Shuo for more than half of the season, was selected as a substitute for the Western Star Team this year.
This year's east -west bench lists are as follows:
East: Baron Davis, Pierce, Arnas, Michael Reed, Lei Allen, Kenyang Martin, Gasol.
West: Marion, Noviski, Duncan, O'Neal, Kirilianko, Casel, Peja.
Like Wang Shuo's memory.
Stern, who wants to take advantage of international players to increase the international influence of the NBA, hinted in this year's selection process that the judges selected Kirilianke to this year's Western Star Team.
Of course, if you want to get the alliance, the player's own quality must be excellent.
This season, when Malone left and Stockon's retirement, the reason why Jazz still had the hope of impacting the playoffs was absolutely indispensable.
As of now, Kiri Lianke has scored 16.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.8 blocks and 2.0 steals for the Jazz.
From the perspective of the performance of "Aka 47", it is completely worthy of a All -Star seat.
In addition to the announcement of the East and West Star Teams, the coaches of the East and West Star Team this year will also be held by Carlisle and Wang Shuo, respectively.
Although in the NBA, there is an unwritten rule called the NBA coach cannot be a star coach for two consecutive years.
But last year, in order to use Wang Shuo's influence to increase the attention of the NBA All -Star Weekend, Stan has long broken this regulation under Mark's "follow -up".
So this year ...
"NBA has been used before, jumping from the eastern part to the west, or a job in the east from the west, is it to lead the team to play the first partition for two consecutive years?" On this day, "I don't understand the ball or watch Excl" The face asked curiously.
"In my impression ... it is definitely not available in these twenty years. Because even if it is Phil, he has resting for a year in the 98 \/99 season." Mark replied.
"That being the case, who should the head coach of the Western Star Team this year be held?" Stan asked.
"In my opinion, fans may want to see Wang Lai coaching even more." Mark said.
Stern nodded and said, "In this case, as an alliance that always respects fans and is willing to change all rules for fans, what should we do?"
Mark nodded in a sensible place: "David, I understand what you mean. As a fair, open and fair alliance, we should not stick to those unwritten rules, or those regulations that are no longer in line with the times.
The head coach of the Western Star Team this year, we must fully respect the opinions from fans! "
Stern knew who was the parents of NBA's food and clothing.
Therefore, on the evening of the 1st, Wang Shuo, who was still busy with Miss Ambrohru, was arranged by Stene for three consecutive years.
Do not ask......
Asked that fans want to see what Wang Shuo can live on the star weekend this year!
