I am so Accurate

"Unbelievable!"

After the final result came out, Kenny Smith shouted directly in the TNT program.

"Yes, it's unbelievable. You know that computers are not very popular in China at this time, but they did it. It's unbelievable."

After the dust settled, Barkley didn't speak hard anymore, but was half-joking.

He is really more suitable as a host than a player.

However, his position has not changed.

"But I still hope that the next All-Star Game can be restricted, otherwise we should really move the All-Star Game to China."

"Hey, Charles, that's not the only problem."

In the episode where Smith and Barkley shared the same views, the ratings of the program dropped significantly, and he began to enter the opposite role of Barkley again.

Buckley looked at him suspiciously.

"You know that Hill is reimbursed for the season, and you also know that Mourning is reimbursed for the season, but they both received a lot of votes, and they couldn't go to the scene. Isn't that inappropriate?"

The topic Smith raised is very novel, but it is essentially the same as the issue of Sun Hao's vote king, and it is a matter of voting rules.

"That's their honor."

Barkley said after a moment of silence.

"Fuck the honor, they've only played a few games, we don't deny their past greatness, but are they more deserving All-Star starters this season?"

Smith's next words directly blocked the great Barkley.

For the first time, Kenny Smith had the upper hand in a verbal confrontation.

"I don't think there is a problem with the rules. It has existed for so many years. Since injuries can be selected, why should Sun's votes be restricted because of his country's fans?"

"Okay, okay, you won, but I don't think Sun will score many points in the All-Star Game. We all know how his statistics come from. The All-Star Game is a higher level stage. You If you want to get a chance to make a move, you have to be strong enough."

"let us wait and see."

At the end of the show, Barkley set up the flag every day, once again full of fans' expectations.

...

New York, NBA headquarters.

Stern knew the final result of the All-Star voting earlier.

After watching the reaction of the fans and the media, he also fell into a tangle.

The reaction of the American fans was bigger than he expected, and this result seems to have affected the biggest local cake in the United States.

But at the same time, he was also excited about the potential market in China.

How many votes means how many fans there are, and nearly one million, that's just the past week!

China has a population of 1.3 billion, which is too large a base.

If it can be developed, it will be the NBA's No. 1 overseas market!

In the end, he decided to wait and see.

Wait until the All-Star Game to see how many people are there.

If the attendance rate really drops a lot, he considers some restrictions on the number of votes.

If not, there is no need to change the rules at all.

After making his decision, he made another call to the league office.

After the staff came in, he explained the matter immediately.

...

"eggplant."

"eggplant"

In the Dallas villa, Sun Hao is studying how to burn eggplant.

To maintain the favorability of Nowitzki and Nash, he had to invite them to his house for dinner from time to time.

But no matter how delicious things are, he will get tired of eating, so he has to research some new dishes.

"On One Hundred Ways to Burn Eggplant"

Magpie, no matter what Sun Hao said, he would follow suit.

"Sauce fried eggplant."

"eggplant"

"Braised eggplant."

"eggplant."

"Eggplant with minced meat."

"eggplant"

...

But it seems that it can't learn if it's too complicated, the only thing the magpie keeps talking about is eggplant.

It was like Tang Monk chanting scriptures, and he was about to be chanted away.

"Shut up! Add eggplants and you will be eggplants in the future!"

"shut up"

"..."

"I want to eat braised magpie!"

After Sun Hao said this sentence, the magpie looked at him with his head, and finally stopped talking.

Well, this guy is not stupid.

"eggplant"

But as soon as he picked up the book in his hand, there came again.

Sun Hao put down his book and walked over.

"Yes, from now on you will be called Eggplant."

"eggplant"

Sun Hao nodded in satisfaction, he felt that the magpie had accepted its new name.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

It's the league office.

When he went to get the best rookie of the month trophy last time, he also saved the contact number by the way.

He thought the rookie of the month in January had come out again, but after answering the phone he realized it wasn't.

"Invite me to participate in the three-point shooting contest? OK."

In the NBA All-Star Game, in addition to the main game, there are rookie games and some individual events.

This year's All-Star game was held in Washington, and the individual events included the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest.

At the time of the All-Star voting, the invitations for the individual competitions have actually started one after another.

Sun Hao ranks among the best in three-pointers this season, and his average number of shots per game is the highest in the league.

Under such circumstances, it is normal to be invited to the three-point shooting contest.

Sun Hao has no reason to refuse.

He has just entered the league now and needs these small events to enrich his trophy library.

By the way, American villas are generally two and a half floors, and that half is the attic upstairs.

Most people use it as a storage room, but Sun Hao directly transformed it into his trophy vault.

...

The NBA game continues.

Not long after the announcement of the All-Star debut, the league also announced the ownership of the major awards in January.

The head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, was successfully elected as the best coach of the month by virtue of the team's record of 11 wins and 2 losses.

However, the best player of the month was won by Tracy McGrady of the Magic.

The Magic had a record of 10 wins and 3 losses in January. McGrady averaged 29.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 50%.

Just like the state he showed with the Mavericks before, Tracy McGrady is rapidly rising as a rising star.

The four major shooting guards that Su Qun mentioned are likely to go directly to the top five shooting guards in the future.

As we all know, there are five of the four major shooting guards.

The best rookie of the month was picked by Sun Hao without any suspense.

It is worth mentioning that this is the third consecutive month that he has won the Rookie of the Month award.

As the No. 24 show, Sun Hao made a lot of media experts feel ashamed.

In hindsight, if they knew that Sun Hao could perform like this, they should have regarded him as Iverson and directly selected him with the No. 1 pick!

There is no harm without comparison, and the intestines of the first 23 teams are probably going to regret it.

At this time, a senior basketball manager named Klaus walked by silently, and handed you a look full of resentment.

But after entering February, the Mavericks' schedule has become tough again.

In the first game after the league announced the major awards, the Mavericks will sit at home and usher in another derby battle with the Spurs.

According to the NBA's schedule, teams in the same district will play against each other four times a season. This is the third time the two teams have played against each other this season.

The Mavericks lost the previous two games.

The Spurs can be said to be the sufferer of the Mavericks.

And in the last match, the Mavericks lost by 11 points, and they were beaten completely without temper.

More importantly, starting with the loss to the Spurs, they fell into a wave of struggling performances in December.

Now it's a difficult February schedule, and it's a similar hurdle again.

The word "bitter master" is worthy of the name.

But this is Texas.

In the years to come, the Spurs are old, the Mavericks are weak, and Houston is strong, which will be the famous Texas three illusions.

But any team that goes to Texas for an away game will have to be peeled off if they don't die.

The Texas Civil War, of course, needless to say.

And because of the short distance, you can basically get there by land transportation such as a bus, which has been compared to a life-and-death battle with bayonets and dry roads.

Old Nelson also attached great importance to this game.

In fact, in this era, offensive coaches and defensive coaches are always on opposite sides.

And the number of defensive coaches far exceeds that of offensive coaches. Larry Brown of the 76ers and Popovich of the Spurs are representatives of them.

On the morning of the game day, the Spurs, who arrived in Dallas one day earlier, were training in the training hall.

Two hours of training, the front one is semi-closed, and the last half hour is open to the public.

Many local reporters from Dallas also came to the scene.

The reporter asked a lot of questions about the game, but Popovich was evasive and answered irrelevant questions.

This is also Popovich's usual trick.

Of course, don't compare him in his early 50s with the future him in his 60s.

At this time, he was decisive and ruthless, but he would not do such boring things as poisonous milk.

The reporter could not ask about the game, but could only ask some off-court questions.

For example, Duncan was selected as an All-Star.

"Tim deserves more votes, he's without a doubt the best big man in the league."

Popovich is complaining for his disciples, because even in the forward vote, Duncan lost to the Kings' Chris Webber.

"What do you think of the matchup between Duncan and Nowitzki tonight, who got very close to Tim in the All-Star voting."

The reporter then asked questions.

But Popovich smiled contemptuously and didn't answer the question directly.

Obviously, he didn't think it was necessary to answer this kind of question.

"Who do you think Duncan and Nowitzki will have an advantage over?"

The reporter thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated the question again.

"Why do you ask the question of who has the upper hand when a lion and an antelope meet?"

Popovich asked a rhetorical question, leaving the reporter speechless.

"Maybe the antelopes will prevail, and if there are enough of them, the lions will be overwhelmed."

Seeing that the reporter had nothing to say, he showed off his ability to make cold jokes again.

Some other reporters were amused, but the meaning behind this cold joke is self-evident.

"What do you think of Sun being elected as the All-Star vote leader?"

The reporter asked questions about Sun Hao again.

"That's fine."

What the reporter didn't expect was that Popovich spoke well this time.

But soon, the reporter found that he was still too young.

"Don't try to trick me, I don't want to receive a ticket from the league."

Another Popovich-esque sneer, but one that made his position very clear.

Whether it is Nowitzki or Sun Hao, such votes are meaningless to him.

...

"He really said that?"

The Mavericks' training was scheduled for the afternoon, and when the reporter conveyed Popovich's answer to Old Nelson, Old Nelson's expression was extremely ugly.

He can't tolerate others slandering his players.

"That's nonsense, and at night he'll know who's the lion and who's the antelope!"

Old Nelson is not as "smart" as Popovich, he said he should be more direct.

When he returned to the locker room after the interview, he closed the door directly.

"Popovich said we are a herd of antelopes, are you willing to be antelopes?"

Blowing his beard and staring, Old Nelson didn't have a beard, but he showed that extremely angry expression to the fullest.

Needless to say, the reaction from the Mavericks was a shake of the head, as well as anger.

Who would want to be an antelope!

"I don't care how you play the next game, but tonight against the Spurs, you must go all out!"

Old Nelson was really furious.

The team members also responded one after another.

Texas Civil War, they are not afraid!

"Sun, do you think Popovich did this on purpose?"

After old Nelson left, Nash came over and said.

Since solving the problem of the ball possession between the two, Nash has become Sun Hao's "confidant in the boudoir".

Of course, Nash is still very smart and sharp.

"Who knows? But the antelope kicks very hard."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

Nash will soon agree.

"Then let's kick their asses hard!"

Sun Hao nodded.

To be honest, the current Popovich is very different from the Popovich in his impression.

So he didn't know if Popovich said those words just to express his own personal thoughts, or to anger old Nelson.

If it's the latter, he's clearly succeeded.

Then let Popovich feel the anger of their group of "antelopes"!

...

That night, the arena at the American Airlines Center was full of attendance.

The Mavericks had an excellent record in January, coupled with Cuban's continuous reduction of ticket prices, and various ways to stimulate the ball market.

Cuban himself, also wearing his favorite blue calf T-shirt on the sidelines, came to the home court to cheer for the team like usual home games.

Now in Dallas, the ball market seems to be thriving.

Sun Hao also saw more Chinese fans who came to support him.

Gu Yi has already started to promote the construction of Chinatown, coupled with Sun Hao's outstanding performance on the field in the past.

The two complement each other, and the Chinese market in Dallas is developing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When warming up before the game, Sun Haoduo glanced at the Spurs.

This Spurs team is still a two-tower lineup, and the style of play focuses on defense.

Especially inside defense, impenetrable.

This may be why Popovich is so confident.

Except for bugs like O'Neal, there really is no insider who can take advantage of the Spurs.

But in fact, the Spurs' defense has not reached their peak.

The biggest reason is because Bowen, the top forward defender is still watching beach beauties in Miami!

The Spurs without Bowen met him after the badge broke out.

This is destined to be a beautiful "encounter".
