In terms of the number of candidates, the Boston Celtics have once again become the biggest winner. A total of four of them were selected. Although they were not as good as the previous year's five, they were still the team with the most selections this season. In addition, because of the All-Star team The rule that the head coach cannot be re-elected. Last year's head coach Bird failed to continue to serve as the head coach. The head coach of the Eastern Forces was given to the second in the Eastern Conference, Larry Brown from the Philadelphia 76ers.
In addition to the Celtics' four selections, the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs have three selections, becoming the most powerful force in the West!
In addition, the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings, also have 2 people selected, also make their fans very excited!
In terms of the rookie game, although Steve Jackson has only really established himself in the league for the first year this year, because he has played official games on behalf of multiple teams since 1999, he is not considered a rookie, even if he performed very well this year, He was also not selected for the NBA rookie game.
Only Manu Ginobili will represent the second-year team for the Celtics.
In addition, Wang Zhizhi of the Dallas Mavericks will continue to represent the 2nd grade team in the rookie game!
This season, Wang Zhizhi has officially secured the sixth man position of the Dallas Mavericks.
He is the fifth player with the most minutes on the team and has become an integral part of the team!
This season, he has gone a step further, averaging 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, as well as 39% of his 3-point shooting and 80% of his free throws. Even if there are still defensive problems that prevent him from going further, he is still Very good performance!
The double-turret frontcourt formed by him and Dirk Nowitzki has played against many teams in the league. Under the leadership of Nelson and Finley, the Dallas Mavericks have become a force to be reckoned with in the West!
In addition to the rookie game and the main game, Lin Long also received a personal call from the league president David Stern a few days ago!
Stern's words are very polite. He hopes that Lin Long can participate in this All-Star dunk contest and 3-point contest!
Both events have left Lin Long's footsteps, and he has created unparalleled peaks for both events.
Especially the slam dunk contest. In 1999, he and Carter's confrontation of the century detonated the entire basketball circle. The streets were full of children wearing Lin Long and Carter's jerseys practicing bouncing and dunking hard. In that slam dunk contest, they were even beaten. Call it the best ever in the NBA!
Better than the showdown between Wilkins and Michael Jordan, the essence of human movies!
The ratings have soared, reaching the highest ratings ever for the NBA slam dunk contest!
But last year, when Lin Long didn't play, although Carter played again and finally won the championship, he also contributed a very exciting dunk, but how can Carter's thriving match compare to Lin Long and his peak matchup?
The ratings for the slam dunk contest inevitably plummeted.
And this year, Carter also said that unless Lin Long will continue to compete, he will never compete again!
Carter hopes to force out Lin Long and fight him again!
This is what Stern wants to see, and what the entire league and all fans want to see!
After all, Carter is already the closest player in the world to be able to beat Lin Long head-on in a certain skill.
Unfortunately, Lin Long chose to refuse!
No matter how hard Stern is, Lin Long will only tell him one answer: no interest.
In the slam dunk contest, Lin Long felt that as long as he won the championship once, and the championship won by defeating Carter, it would be enough! If you continue to dunk, it will inevitably lead to aesthetic fatigue.
What's more, slam dunks are more interesting when they are dunks in actual competitions! Lin Long is really too lazy to participate in dunk competitions!
Lin Long refused to participate, and Carter didn't come. In addition, McGrady and Francis, who had dunked very beautifully and had a good reputation before, also refused to continue to play. This slam dunk contest has returned to the bleak starlight again, especially when After the list of the slam dunk contest came out, a question mark appeared on the heads of a large number of fans.
Who are these people?
After all, wanting to rely on Dyson Made Mason, DeShawn Stevenson, Baron Davis, Jonathan Bender, Stromile Swift and Corey Maggette These people attract fans to watch dunks, and it is really difficult for some strong men!
These few people want to be famous and not famous, and they want to have no gimmicks. Except for Swift, none of the other people are really based in the league with dunks and excellent physical fitness.
Not to mention that among these people, except for Baron Davis, the rest of them can't even be counted as the main force of the team.
At best, it's a trick lineup that barely squeezes into the team's rotation.
No wonder Stern would personally call Lin Long, hoping he can represent the league. (Qian Dezhao)
Just these people, this year's slam dunk contest is destined to be difficult to set off any splash.
On the contrary, the 3-point contest is much better. Although Lin Long also refused to participate, the league recruited the Mavericks' high-powered brothers Dirk Nowitzki and roughly, as well as the Spurs' rookie sharpshooter Peja, plus the Lakers. The team's Reggie Miller and the Bucks' Ray Allen, the six-person 3-point contest lineup, is full of spectacle and suspense.
Is the old 3-point king Miller continuing to defend his honor, or the newcomer Ray Allen taking over the banner of the 3-point king?
Or is it the big man who dominates the roost, Dirk Nowitzki and roughly the two who reverse everyone's impression of the 3-pointer and win the championship in one fell swoop?
The highlights and suspense of the 3-point contest are much more than that of the dunk contest!
