After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 213 Debut
The head coach of the Western Stars is the current coach of the Hornets, Byron Scott, who also ranked first in the Western Conference before the All-Stars, and it just so happens that New Orleans is his home court.

Scott became the head coach of the Hornets on May 04, 5 (? Element awareness?), and in the past three seasons, he has improved step by step.

Last season, because the team was plagued by injuries, the Hornets, who were determined to hit the playoffs before the season, finally regretted to achieve No.9 results. In the competition for the last train in the playoffs, they lost to the Warriors.

Then the Warriors created a black-eight miracle, Nuo Tianwang was nailed to the pillar of shame, and made a joke that was bigger than the finals-after all, there are black calls in the 06 finals to explain.

So, what the hell Paul...

This season, the main force of the Hornets returned to health. They immediately showed their due level. Selected the best coach of the month in the West.

The Hornets are currently ranked first in the Western Conference with a slight advantage over the Spurs.

It's a pity that the competition in the back line of the Western Conference is too fierce. The top four all exceeded 100 million votes. Kobe led a cliff with more than 200 million votes, followed by Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Nash. Paul only ranked Fifth, it is impossible to play the All-Stars at home as a starter.

Iverson was super popular and started with teammate Anthony. Kobe did not withdraw from the All-Star Game and still occupied the starting position. There were also Dayao and Duncan. However, McGrady did not participate in this All-Star Game due to injury.

There are Paul, Nash, Boozer, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, David West on the bench, and of course, Roy, the shooting guard known as the "Yellow Mamba", is on the coach's side The impression score is obviously very high, and he was selected as an All-Star substitute in the second grade.

Before the game, the two teams have taken a "family portrait". The Western team has a light-colored jersey with a white background and an orange border, and the Eastern team has a dark jersey with a blue background and a red and white border.

The jersey is of course a unified standard. The front is the English of the east and west of the art style, and the lower right corner is the respective jersey number. It is not like others have to choose another one because of the number conflict. The "60" number of Li Chengming belongs to the shoes. alone.

Even looking at history, he can bluntly say that he is the strongest representative of the No. 60 jersey, because no one competes with him at all.

This is the last night of the All-Star Weekend, and it is also the last highlight, so even though New Orleans is not a big place, it still attracts many celebrities, celebrities, and celebrities to appear on the sidelines. to them.

Of course, the focus now is on the stars on the court.

James also brought his habit of throwing magnesium powder to the All-Stars. On this occasion, some small grievances were directly left behind. Howard was interacting passionately with him, and Li Chengming also cooperated with them to perform together.

The All-Star itself is a stage for entertainment, the more players who can have fun, the more popular they are here, whether it is the style of play on the court or some funny scenes off the stage.

Just like why O'Neill was so popular back then, it has a lot to do with his personality.

Although he is not very good at making jokes, he likes to make jokes about others, and his funny image can indeed bring a lot of joy to the audience.

It is a pity that O'Neal did not come to the All-Star stage this year, which made many people feel less fun.

Previously, O'Neal had been selected to the All-Star for 14 consecutive times. His absence this year is surprising but not surprising. After all, his performance this season is indeed very average. The decline is obviously out of the All-Star level, and even ordinary stars are considered. no more.

Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Heat have lost hope for this season, they are likely to give up on him, but the Sharks are not worried about leaving him. The championship team will try more or less.

It is also interesting to say that Dayao entered the All-Star for the first time that year. It was his rookie season that took away O'Neal's All-Star start, and ended O'Neal's record of nine consecutive All-Star starts.

As a result, now Li Chengming entered the All-Star for the first time, and witnessed O'Neal's loss to the All-Star.

And James, who was able to fight and dance with O'Neal back then, has now become the one who leads the lively atmosphere. Of course, now there is one more Howard who can be funny with him.

It was the first time to see James, who was domineering in the media and often serious on the court, showing such a side. This kind of contrast was quite strange to Li Chengming.

But thinking of something, he frowned slightly.

The game started quickly. Howard and Dayao jumped the ball and won easily to help the Eastern team win the first wave of offensive opportunities. There is no suspense about this.

The Eastern team quickly entered the state after the opening. Wade, Howard and Bosh all scored. The Eastern team quickly took a 6-0 lead.

After Duncan and Anthony brought the score closer, Bosh made an empty cut and dunked the ball, and then Iverson made a breakthrough from the right and caused a foul. Taking advantage of the dead ball, Byron Scott quickly replaced the injured Kobe , replaced by Nash.

Kobe has only played for more than two minutes in total, and will not appear again in the future.

Li Chengming only found out before the game. In fact, the Lakers had communicated with the league before and wanted Kobe to withdraw from the game like Garnett. As a result, the league seemed to disagree, either participating or being suspended for one game. Kobe naturally chose to participate.

Now this way, everyone can count on face, and there is no problem.

Li Chengming didn't get the chance to play until more than 7 minutes later, replacing Bosh.

Speaking of which, with Bosh's shooting level, except that the range cannot be extended to the three-point line, it is really suitable for Howard.

Moreover, the combination of the two will not have obvious weaknesses in defense. With Bosh's mobility, it can not only help Howard share a certain amount of pressure to mop up the defense, but also guard the penalty area when necessary.

What he is afraid of is that he is good at insiders who can back up hard or have a strong impact, such as Duncan and Stoudemire on the opposite side. This is also his natural defect in the figure as the fourth position.

If you insist on forcing him to play the fifth position, unless you have the ultimate outside line configuration, the gain will outweigh the loss.

At this time, the score on the court was 18:15. Tianhu, the Eastern team started the game and once led by double digits, but just now the Western team played a wave of 8:0 to narrow the gap.

After Li Chengming came on the court, he played two wonderful cooperations with Howard immediately. The tacit understanding of the same team may not be so obvious at ordinary times, but it can be seen at this time, and one look can tell what the other party wants to do.

Somewhat similar to the rookie game, the All-Star game is not much better except for players with stronger personal abilities and richer experience. At the beginning, it was man-to-man, and it was a single defense. There was not much cooperation on the offensive end. The most common and simplest is the empty pick after the pick-and-roll.

Of course, it is impossible for Van Gundy and Scott not to know what the fans love to watch and what the league most wants to see, so they try to arrange some simple pick-and-roll coordination as much as possible, and then increase the air cut after the screen, so that the defense is not so close. Under the circumstances, there are more dunk opportunities.

Paul likes to play this hand the most, so when he played with Stoudemire and West, he continuously bombed the basket of the Eastern team.

And the Eastern team was not to be outdone, Billups and Hamilton, the old team partners also began to show their power, Pierce actually "disregarded the previous suspicions" after playing, and cooperated well with Li Chengming, the "enemy", and gave Li Chengming a gift It's a pity he missed the three-pointer.

这样首节过后东部队以35：27依然领先着8分，李成名3中2拿到5分3篮板2助攻。
