NBA: No. 1 Forward-Chapter 520: Unconvinced Cousins
, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
Apart from Kobe, the only main player who scored in double figures was Pau Gasol. Ci Shiping was the worst. Lian Dao had 0 blocks in the game, and in the end he only got 2 rebounds and 3 turnovers.
Although Kobe is still a little unwilling, he can only accept failure in the face of failure.
After the game, a handshake.
"Hey, don't be depressed, you guys beat me like this last time, I just completed my revenge!"
Lian Dao said with a smile and high-five Kobe.
"Boy, congratulations on your successful revenge!"
Kobe could only shake his head helplessly at Lian Dao's narrow-mindedness.
After playing the Los Angeles Lakers, the Knicks also ushered in back-to-back games.
However, before playing back-to-back, on the morning of February 11, the league announced this year's "All-Star Ticket King" and the final lineup list of the East and West.
Lian Dao won the All-Star vote again without any suspense, Howard came in second; Kobe came in third.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
The fourth place is Yao Ming, who surpassed James and Durant in the second round of voting and came from behind.
This means that Stern has weakened the votes in the Asian region. Otherwise, Yao Ming would not be able to surpass Lian Dao, but he would still be ranked second in the league.
According to the final statistical results of the All-Star voting, the Knicks, Heat, Thunder, Clippers, Mavericks and Lakers have become the biggest winners in this year's All-Star Game. Each of the six teams has at least two players selected to the All-Star lineup.
Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup:
Point Guard: Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls); Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat); Small Forward: Lian Dao (New York Knicks); Power Forward: LeBron James (Miami Heat); Center: Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic).
Eastern Conference All-Star bench lineup:
Point guard: Jrue Holiday (New York Knicks), Deron Williams (New Jersey Nets).
Shooting guard: Andre Inguodala (Philadelphia 76ers).
Small Forward: Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics)
Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire (New York Knicks), Joe Johnson (Atlanta Hawks).
Center: Chris Bosh (Miami Heat).
Western Conference All-Star starting lineup:
Point guard: Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers); Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers); Small forward: Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder); Power forward: Carme Lon Anthony (Los Angeles Clippers); Center: Yao Ming (Dallas Mavericks).
Western Conference All-Star Subs:
Point guard: Stephen Nash (Phoenix Suns), Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Shooting Guard: Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs).
Small Forward: Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves),
Power Forward: Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers), Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks),
Center: Andrew Bynum (Los Angeles Lakers).
Overall, this year's Eastern and Western lineups are very shining, but if we have to distinguish between high and low, I am afraid that the West's lineup is more balanced.
They are stronger than the Eastern Conference in terms of internal strength, especially in the center position, they are stronger than the Eastern Conference.
Although Howard is the most expensive center in the league, he has no advantage in the face of Yao Ming.
And this season's Andrew Bynum also played peak data, averaging 18.7 dm and 11.8 rebounds per game. No matter how you look at it, he is better than Chris Bosh in his ability to protect the interior frame.
In fact, in the bench lineup, DeMarcus Cousins ??has more votes than Chris Bosh, thanks to Lian Dao's canvassing.
It's just that the All-Star head coach in the Eastern Conference this year is not D'Antoni, and Cousins' average per game is indeed not as good as Chris Bosh, so he has no choice but to lose.
The head coach of the Eastern Stars this year is Spoelstra of the Heat. This guy doesn't particularly like Knicks players. Of course, he tries to choose his own players as the All-Star substitutes, so Cousins ??lost to Bosh You can imagine.
D'Antoni has been the head coach of the Eastern Stars once last season, so even this year the Knicks are still the league's No. 1 team.
According to the league's rule that the same coach cannot serve as the head coach of the All-Star team consecutively, this year he will also be replaced by the second-ranked team head coach, so Spoelstra became the head coach of the Eastern All-Star team this year.
The head coach of the Western Conference is Torque Brooks from the Thunder. He is more skinny than Spoelstra, at least he didn't replace Tony Parker with James Harden.
Of course, he may have other considerations. For example, the Thunder's management doesn't want James Harden to play his worth so quickly? !
You must know that even if an NBA player enters the All-Star team as a substitute, it means entering the All-Star lineup. Naturally, there will be an All-Star halo on his body, and his worth will naturally rise.
Except for some successful old guys in the league, most players of course hope to be able to come to the All-Star Game to be plated with gold, and the head coaches of some teams will naturally try to put their own stars on the bench.
As long as it is not too much, everyone is tacitly aware that who makes the team's record excellent.
Although it is tacit, it does not mean that some players can be convinced in their hearts, and Cousins ??is one of them.
That night, the Knicks became the biggest sufferer for the Timberwolves this season.
Especially Cousins, he vented all his dissatisfaction on the Timberwolves. He didn't dare to provoke Nikola Pekovic, who has mysterious powers, so he chose Kai, a guy who looked easier to bully. Wen Love.
It just so happened that Stoudemire took a break in this game, Cousins ??was in the fourth position, and Hassan was in the fifth position.
Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love was stunned by Cousins' offense.
In this game, Cousins ????showed his rich offensive methods.
Although Cousins ??played the fifth position in the Knicks, Cousins' offensive style has always been the fourth position.
He can create opportunities for himself whether it is a face-to-face attack or a back-up single. He is physically strong. Love, who is 2.08 meters high, faces the real 2.08 meters Cousins, and he can see it at once gap.
Moreover, Cousins ??also knows how to use his physical advantages to crush his opponents. Even the shooting advantage that Love is proud of, he does not have much advantage against Cousins.
Especially Cousins ????has a wingspan of 2.27 meters. In the two attacks at the basket, Kevin Love's shot was severely slapped by Cousins.
In this game, Cousins ??made Kevin Love suffer on both ends of the offense and defense.
By the end of the game, Kevin Love was defended by Cousins ??and only scored 10 points and 7 rebounds, which was far below his normal level of strength.
Cousins ??scored a large double-double with 37 points and 16 rebounds in this game.
Although Lian Dao didn't score much in this game, his assists reached a season high with 12 points and 22 assists.
Kevin Love looked at Cousins ??with a dazed expression until the end of the game. He didn't know when he offended this idiot. Why did Cousins ??target him throughout the game?
If Kevin Love knew that he was the one who took the blame for Coach Spoelstra and was the one who lay the gun innocently, he would definitely find Cousins ??to fight for his life after the game.
Although it was back-to-back, the Knicks won this game very easily, 110:84, the Knicks easily won.
After defeating the Timberwolves, the Knicks also achieved 8 consecutive victories, 25 wins and 3 losses!

After defeating the Timberwolves, the Knicks' winning streak did not stop, and then they defeated the Toronto Raptors, the Saramento Kings and the New Orleans Hornets~www.innread.com~In these three games, the strength of the opponents are all strong. Not strong, and the Knicks have not encountered back-to-back, so basically every game is three quarters.
After winning these three games, the Knicks' second wave of winning streak also reached 11 consecutive victories, 28 wins and 3 losses!
In the away game against the Raptors, Lian Dao saw DeRozan again. DeRozan's mental state was not bad, at least he didn't fall into a depression after being traded by the Timberwolves.
Although the Raptors lost the game, DeRozan scored 25 points and 5 rebounds.
After the game, during the conversation between the two, Lian Dao really learned that the general manager of the Raptors, Brian Colangelo, had always hoped to get DeRozan in the draft, but he did not expect to be picked by the Timberwolves. cut Hu.
In subsequent trade applications, the Timberwolves have always asked for too high a price. It was not until the talented European point guard Ricky Rubio they selected this season returned from the Spanish Basketball League that the Timberwolves really let go.
