Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"Haha, it sure is Jimmy."

"Jimmy, congratulations on being selected as an All-Star starter."

Seeing Butler's name ranked third, his teammates were relieved and congratulated Butler and were happy for him.

Finally, Butler was selected as an All-Star starter.

In this way, the 76ers are equal to having two players selected for the All-Star starter at the same time. In the East, it is the only one, that is, the Lakers in the West. The Clippers have two players selected for the starter at the same time, but their record is good. Not as good as the 76ers.

"Hehe, hehehe..." Butler grinned and smirked.

Smiling, his eyes turned red.

Butler stood up, hugged Qin Hao, and tried his best to hold Qin Hao tightly, causing Qin Hao to stretch out his tongue.

"Jimmy, let go. Damn, I'm out of breath."

"No, I'll hold you for a while longer."

Looking at the two, the teammates looked at each other, how does this feel... weird.

Qin Hao finally broke free and glared at Butler with disgust: "Isn't it the All-Star starter? Well, if you know you're happy, just hug me, and I'll be strangled."

"Hehe." Butler licked his face and said, "You don't know how happy I am, it's like a dream. I was just a backup in the Pistons last season, and I have to worry about playing time, but this season I will do it. The star starter. God, this is so dreamy." After speaking, he wanted to hug Qin Hao again, but was kicked away by Qin Hao, and he was just silly.

For Butler, it's really dreamy.

In the first half of last season, he was still an unpopular backup in the Pistons. He had a bad relationship with the coach and teammates. He was worried about enough playing time every day and kept holding back. Can't be released.

In the second half, he seized the opportunity, took advantage of the situation to rise, and finally achieved results, and it was considered to be a stable starter, but who would have expected a bad fate and suffered an injury.

Back then, Butler's world was dark.

He couldn't even imagine that after only one year, he came to the 76ers, and his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only did he play in the starting lineup, he also became the second person in the team, and the relationship with his teammates was extremely harmonious, like a family.

Now, he has become an All-Star starter.

And all of this is related to Qin Hao.

So Butler wanted to give his good brother a hug for the first time, well, maybe he was too excited, and his strength was a little bigger, but this was the only way to express his gratitude to Qin Hao.

"Qin, my good brother." Butler said emotionally: "You are light, you are electricity, you are me..."

"Stop, stop." Qin Hao quickly raised his hand to interrupt, "Stop, let me vomit for a while."

After some laughs, everyone calmed down.

Butler was selected as an All-Star, which is a happy thing. In the end, Butler treated everyone to a feast.

......

At the same time, the outside world is already hotly debated.

"I didn't expect that at the last minute, Butler actually surpassed and entered the top three positions in the frontcourt of the Eastern Conference."

"Yeah, it was thrilling to watch Butler and Garnett overtake last night, and Butler won in the end."

"Tsk tsk, the 76ers have a big harvest, and two players were selected for the All-Star starter."

"It's not a big deal for two players to start the All-Star Game, the key is that Qin and Butler are both young, both are rookies in 2010, and this is their third season. It's crazy, wait two more How scary should the 76ers be in 2018?"

"Hey, the 76ers are scary now. Don't forget, the 76ers still have the best record in the East."

Fans were actually surprised that Butler was selected as an All-Star starter. After all, although Butler performed well this season, he averaged only 22.2 points per game.

Some other players are averaging more points and better numbers than him, like Harden on the Rockets, Westbrook on the Thunder, Curry on the Warriors, Irving on the Cavaliers.

These guys are all scoring more points per game than Butler, have better numbers than him, and are just as young.

Of course, the selection of NBA All-Stars has never been a simple data comparison. For example, Luol Deng, who was selected as an All-Star last season, averaged only a dozen points per game.

But because the Bulls record is good enough, so Luol Deng was selected to the All-Star bench.

Another example is in the memory of Qin Hao's last life, Draymond Green, who was selected as an All-Star a few years later, when he was selected as an All-Star in the 16-17 season, he averaged only 10.2 points per game, but because of his excellent defense, plus The Warriors had such a good record that they were still selected as an All-Star.

This season, the 76ers can become the No. 1 in the East, and Butler has a lot of credit.

......

Philadelphia.

76ers practice arena.

A confrontation game is going on, and Coach Luke put Qin Hao, Iguodala, Butler, and Xiaoka together again.

At this time, Lou Wei was hitting the iron on the court. Butler rushed to the inside and grabbed the rebound and immediately advanced. After reaching the frontcourt, he passed it to Qin Hao, and then pointed to the basket.

The next moment, Qin Hao pushed the ball to the basket, Butler took off and staged a beautiful all-hands dunk.

"nice shot."

On the edge of the field, everyone applauded.

With a smile on his face, Assistant Coach Harry said to Coach Luke: "After Jimmy was selected as the All-Star starter, he felt a little different. He trained harder, and seemed to be a little more confident in the game."

Coach Luke nodded and said with a smile: "If you are selected as an All-Star, you must be worthy of the honor of an All-Star, and of course you have to work harder. As for self-confidence, hehe, he will be an All-Star from now on. Are you confident?"

After being selected as the All-Star starter, Butler was excited for two or three days, and then everyone found that he was getting harder and harder in training.

Excited and condensed into the bottom of his heart, in the usual confrontation, in the game, he showed more and more self-confidence and better.

There is no doubt that the All-Star selection was a "catalyst" for Butler's growth, and it allowed him to grow a lot.

For some time after that, Butler's performance is still outstanding.

Originally, some people scoffed at him being selected as the All-Star starter, thinking that he was just relying on a big brush. During the third round of the All-Star voting, with the help of the entire team, he scored crazy points, and finally barely surpassed Garnett and won. Not martial.

However, Butler's performance during this time gave these people a slap in the face, and he proved himself worthy of this identity with his actions.

......

Quietly, there are only a few days left in January.

On January 25th, the NBA will announce the 2013 All-Star team's bench lineup, and just before that, the 76ers rushed to Los Angeles for the game against the Lakers...
