Chapter 71 Rookie All-Star?The battle for first place in the Western Conference!
In an interview after the game, Dunn threatened to study the All-Star opponents, which undoubtedly seemed a bit arrogant.

The Western Conference forwards are star-studded. Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Roaring God, Malone, Peja, Webber, there are so many veteran All-Star forwards sitting there, where is the turn of Duan, a first-year rookie?
For a while, many media outside of Los Angeles criticized Du En one after another. They asked Du En one after another, where did they have the confidence to say "already studying the opponents of the All-Stars"?
However, before Dunn could speak, the local media in Los Angeles had already begun to protect the calf.

请问，场均24.7分5.8篮板8.1助攻1.2抢断0.6盖帽的小前锋，有没有资格成为西部全明星前锋呢？

What's more, in his team, from time to time, the head star is absent from the game!But with his help, his team currently ranks second in the Western Conference!
After the Los Angeles media listed Duane's game data and the Lakers' record, a large number of media that had slandered Duane died down one after another. What's more, they began to change their course and shamelessly promoted Duane.

After all, Duane's data and the team's record are a bit hard. You must know that McGrady, who averaged the highest scoring average this season, only had 28.7 points.

Kobe, who is also on the Lakers, averaged only 24.9 points per game, which was just a little higher than Duane.

The problem is that Kobe Bryant has not played as many games as Duen, and his rebounds, assists and blocks are also not as good as Duen. At most, his steals are slightly better than Duen.

Also playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, Payton and Malone's statistics are also much lower than Duane's.

Looking at the WS (victory share value) in the advanced data, Duane is 3.4, Kobe is 3.1, Malone is 2.8, and Payton is 2.6. At present, Duane is indeed the player with the highest victory contribution value in the Lakers.

From the perspective of victory contribution alone, the Lakers' second record in the Western Conference can be said to be led by Du En...

Looking at another high-level data, PER (efficiency value), Duan ranked second with a high score of 28.2, second only to Garnett with 29.1.

It can only be said that simple ball scoring and sewer play are very suitable for brushing high-level statistics.

Regardless of basic data or high-level data, Dunn is so strong that people can't find any faults.

It is precisely because of this that the newborn calf who was originally uttering wild words has become the biggest dark horse in the 03 draft.

The gold content of the No. 13 pick in the first round is comparable to that of the No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, and third pick.

The Lakers also suddenly upgraded from F4 to the Big Five.

Even if Kobe and Malone will be absent in the next few games, the Lakers will continue to charge towards the first place in the Western Conference and the first record in the league.

On January 1, the Lakers played against the Nuggets at home.

Previously in the Denver Plateau, the Lakers lost back-to-back schedules due to unwell weather.

Today is different from the past. Even though Kobe missed the game, the Lakers still easily defeated the Nuggets.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because of the previous public opinion about Duane's All-Star forward, there has been a lot of trouble.The Nuggets have also regarded Duane as an All-Star player and double-teamed Duane a lot in this game.

Fortunately, Duan has basically digested the Pippen template, and his ball control and passing skills have been greatly improved. With O'Neal and Payton beside him, he is not afraid of double-teaming at all.

Because of this, Dunn didn't suddenly hit the rookie wall just because he was double-teamed.

In the game against the Nuggets, Duane became more and more courageous, scoring a quasi-triple-double of 28 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

Not long after the game against the Nuggets, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting.

Dunn received a total of 77.8 votes, still ranking third among Western forwards, but he is one step closer to Garnett and Duncan.

The former two received 82.3 votes and 80.1 votes respectively.

It can be seen that Nike's marketing of Duen and the public opinion that Duen proactively aroused during the post-game interview were somewhat helpful in helping Duen become a starter in the Western Conference All-Stars.

Even though Garnett's nickname is "Big Box Office", the increase in votes in the second round is obviously not as good as that of a real box office player like Duane who has a Chinese box office!

At the same time, the vote gap between O'Neal and Yao Ming is getting wider and wider.

At his peak, O'Neal was still arranged by Chinese fans in the All-Stars.

In the blink of an eye, January 1th came, and the Lakers challenged the Sacramento Kings, currently No. 16 in the Western Conference, away from home.

It is worth mentioning that the two teams are only one win away.

From the 98-99 season, when Rick Adelman coached the Kings, the Kings have always been the team that hit the championship.

It's a pity that the king's team is at an untimely moment, either meeting the Spurs led by Duncan and the general, or the Lakers led by the OK team.

During the regular season, there was no pressure for the Kings to play against the Spurs and Lakers.

When it came to the playoffs, the Kings either lacked superstars or were unlucky, and they were so short of breath from beginning to end.

Especially in last year's playoffs, the Kings' lineup was even more gorgeous than the Spurs'.

It happened that Webber injured the cruciate ligament of his knee in the game against the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals. The Kings played the tiebreaker with the Mavericks without Webber, the team leader.

Until now, Weber is still recovering from his injuries!
In the absence of Webber, the Kings took advantage of the Princeton system to play steadily while other strong teams were still in the running-in period, and slowly reached the No. [-] in the Western Conference.

Coincidentally, the Lakers, the second in the Western Conference, also lacked a head star.

“No one can take away our first place in the Western Conference, not even the Los Angeles Lakers!

Verratti, don't forget who abandoned you!
Brad, show Shaquille O'Neal your muscles!
Peja, I heard that the No. 31 rookie of the Lakers is going to be an All-Star forward in the Western Conference. I think you should give him a good look.

Doug, Kobe is not playing tonight, no one can guard you, you can fully display your offensive ability.

And Mike, it's time to become an All-Star, beat Gary Payton, and go enjoy the spotlight in Los Angeles! "

Before the game, Rick Adelman cheered on the Kings players.

Then began to warn everyone that it is necessary to defend the home victory.

If the current tactics run to the seamless King, there is no way to beat the Lakers without Kobe and Malone.

So in the playoffs, why did they defeat the Lakers with the Big Five in a seven-game series?

Champion, champion, champion!

Only by defeating the favorite Los Angeles Lakers and the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, the Sacramento Kings who are No. [-] in the Western Conference are the real kings!
Only then are you qualified to break out of the Western Conference and win the championship that belongs to the Kings!
For the championship, Rick Adelman and the core players of the Kings have been fighting for five years!
How many five years are there in life?

How many players in the NBA can maintain their peak period for five years?
Kings players can't wait!If this year is not successful, Rick Adelman, Webber, Peja and others will also part ways, and the king who is united and attacking gorgeously will also fall apart.

"Definitely!"

The king and his team, united as one, walked out of the locker room and walked to the competition venue of the Golden One Arena...

PS, to celebrate Shang Sanjiang, there will be an extra update tonight, and there will be another update later.
