The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The NBA All-Star Weekend starts on February 23 and ends on February 27. This is a full 5 days. For most players in the league, these 5 days are a time to rest and relax.

Of course, this refers to the vast majority of players, not all.

The players who have been selected as All-Stars have not been easy at all during these 5 days.

Participating in autograph sessions, conducting community charity activities, and participating in various All-Star events. After all these messy activities, it takes energy to reason.

But I am afraid that there is no player in the entire league who would not be willing to participate in the All-Star Weekend, because this is a symbol of strength and status.

Entertainment events such as the rookie challenge, slam dunk contest, and three-point shooting contest are the best stages for unknown players to show their faces, and the All-Star Game is the highest-level event in the league where only 24 players can participate.

There are nearly 450 professional players in the entire NBA league, but only 24 can participate in the All-Star Game, which means it is self-evident.

This season, the Wizards have two players selected for the All-Star Game, Curry and George.

Relying on his explosive performance in February, Curry defeated Rose, Jeremy Lin, and Wade in the All-Star voting, becoming the player with the most votes among guards in the Eastern Conference. Rose followed closely, Jeremy Lin ranked third, and Wade only can come fourth.

And George did not stand out in the striker's vote.

There is no way to do this, the forward position in the East is too exaggerated.

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, the two top superstars, took the lead, far ahead of all other forward players.

George has averaged 19 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 2.5 steals per game so far this season. Although he is already very good, he is still a bit unglamorous after all. He won the All-Star vote with Paul Pierce and Danny Grant. Jie and others are almost the same.

Although he failed to stand out in the voting, George's excellent offensive and defensive performance made him successfully selected to the All-Star bench.

Except for Curry and George, the entire Wizards team has no other players selected for the All-Star Game.

Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison could still be considered All-Star players three years ago, but at their current age, their competitive status and statistics are no longer sufficient.

And Thompson, Leonard, Jimmy Butler and others will all be proper All-Star players in the future, but they are far from it now.

Although Thompson and Leonard were not selected for the All-Star Game, they participated in the All-Star Rookie Challenge as first-year rookies.

In addition, Wang Xiao, as the coach with the best record in the Eastern Conference, naturally became the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team again.

According to regulations, the same coach cannot be the All-Star head coach twice in a row. The last time he served as the All-Star head coach was in the 2009-10 season. Failed to become an All-Star head coach again.

It is now 2012, and after a year, Wang Xiao has returned to the position of head coach of the All-Stars.

To be honest, Wang Xiao has no interest in the position of head coach of the All-Star.

The All-Star is the stage for the players, and it has nothing to do with the coach. There will be no tactics or the like on the field. The stars will take turns to show off their skills and personal charm in singles.

If possible, even if Wang Xiao wants to directly give up the position of head coach to other team coaches, he can also take the opportunity to take a good rest for a few days.

But this year's situation is a little different...he needs to support his disciples.

In addition to Curry and George, there is actually another disciple of Wang Xiao who was also selected as an Eastern All-Star, and that is Jeremy Lin.

Lost to Curry and Rose in the vote, but with Jeremy Lin's strength and 20+10 data, there is no problem in being selected as an All-Star substitute.

To be honest, Wang Xiao did not expect that Jeremy Lin would lose to Curry and Rose in the vote. In his impression, Huaxia players were completely cheating in the All-Star voting. Still in full swing, O'Neal squeezed onto the bench.

However, Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American after all, and he is completely incomparable with Dayao in terms of appeal.

Jeremy Lin's situation is actually a bit embarrassing.

Chinese-Americans are disliked in China, and they are called banana people. They are despised in various ways, and they are also not valued in the United States. The fan base of Jeremy Lin in the United States is completely incomparable with Curry Rose and others.

Under the ebb and flow, Jeremy Lin still failed to surpass the other two in the number of votes despite the help of Huaxia fans.

It's fine if he didn't become the All-Star starter. This thing is a popular vote, and Wang Xiao can't help it, but he doesn't want his disciples to be bullied during the All-Star Weekend!

In fact, last year's All-Star Weekend, Jeremy Lin participated in the All-Star Game.

As the second person of yellow race selected for the All-Star Game after Dayao, Jeremy Lin's participation in the All-Star Game is of great significance.

However, in the All-Star Game, Jeremy Lin did not have any chance to perform.

He only played less than 5 minutes and basically had no chance to touch the ball on the court.

At that time, Wang Xiao was a little annoyed when he saw it.

What! This is blatant bullying!

Jeremy Lin is a point guard! A point guard can't catch the ball? What are you kidding? This is clearly because others are unwilling to pass the ball to him.

None of the players who played with Jeremy Lin were willing to take the initiative to hand the ball to Jeremy Lin, forcing Jeremy Lin to be embarrassed and helpless on the court, so he could only stand outside and play soy sauce.

This is actually very normal, all foreign players have this situation, even Dayao is no exception.

Dayao has participated in a total of 6 All-Star games in his career, all of which he played as a starter. However, as a starter, Dayao's average playing time is only 16.7 minutes.

Not only Dayao, stars like Dirk Nowitzki, Nash, Gasol, etc. also have the same experience.

After all, the NBA All-Star Weekend is held in the United States, so there is no reason to make you, a foreigner, stink.

But the truth is this truth, Wang Xiao is still very upset.

With whom? Play this set? Come if you have the ability, let's see who can beat whom!

Ever since, Wang Xiao became the head coach of the 12-year All-Star East without any rejection.

As a head coach, although he is just a head coach similar to a mascot, he also has great rights. At least on the field, he can decide who plays on the field and who sits on the bench off the field.

"Coach, what are you looking at?"

On the plane to Orlando, the host of the All-Star Weekend, Curry looked at Wang Xiao who was staring at the laptop and sneered, and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, my memory is not very good." Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "Some people who are not very famous are easy to forget after a long time."

"baffling."

Curry didn't know why, but when he looked at Wang Xiao's computer screen, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
