Chapter 613 The All-Star Game is on again! 【Subscription】
"No other team can win so much attention and hype with a calm mentality and finally win! Not to mention that the long season is only halfway through, with 40 regular season games and 20 playoff games remaining, etc. What about the Celtics! Can they go 60 games without a single mistake? Can they keep going until they win the championship?
"I don't think it's possible! Injuries, infighting, exhaustion and huge mental pressure and baggage will soon find them, and when they want to maintain their season winning streak, they will over-release and consume themselves in many games! They'll burn out in the regular season, they'll burn out in the regular season!"
"And when it comes time to really need a bayonet rather than willpower, the Celtics' fatigue will show, they will be powerless, and they will lose the courage and determination of the previous three seasons! Their consecutive championship record will stop at 3 times. ! They can't win a fourth consecutive title!
"That's my opinion, they can't win this year!
"Can't win the championship? Exhaustion and burning of willpower?" Barkley seemed to have heard something funny. He picked up a piece of paper on the table and said: "Lin Long averaged 30.1 minutes per game, contributing 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists per game. With 3 steals and 2 blocks, Payton averaged 15 points, 8 assists and 31 per game in 29 minutes per game, and Rasheed averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per game in 27 minutes per game."
"Ben Wallace averaged 4 points and 12 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per game, Steve Jackson averaged 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in 25 minutes per game, and Manu Ginobili averaged 22 per game. Minutes, contributed 14 points and 4 assists, Rashad Lewis averaged 13 points and 5 rebounds in 21 minutes, Richmond averaged 9 points in 19 minutes, and Hubble averaged 7 points and 4 assists in 17 minutes. Good. So far, I will not talk about the rotation time of the remaining bits.
"Do you know what's the use of me reading these data to you, what does it mean?"
Barkley stared at Downey with a strange look, and then without waiting for Downey to speak, he interrupted him directly: "Because I don't think you know how to spell basketball at all! Celtics! Has the most balanced lineup in the league, with a near-perfect rotation! Has the most powerful backup lineup.35
"Only one guy on their team is averaging over 30 minutes per game, and seven guys are over 20 minutes per game! You know what that means? You don't! You wouldn't say those stupid things if you knew!
"Let me tell you what that means. It means that the Celtics are the most injury-proof, thickest and best team in the league! I'd rather believe Kobe and O'Neal are facing the Celtics. We can average 80 points and 40 rebounds per game as a human, and we don't believe anyone can beat the Celtics!"
"If someone thinks this way and sees it this way, then I'm sorry, in my world, there is no difference between this person and a fool, an idiot, and a ball blind! Because normal people would never say that! Normal people I won't question the Celtics from this angle!"
Barkley's sharp words made Downey jump into the trap he dug, and he was speechless for a while. Fortunately, Smith responded quickly and immediately smiled and said: "Why don't we talk about why Charles retired? The reason why the Celtics are so superior! We can analyze in depth whether it has anything to do with Charles! 35
"Will the existence of Charles really make the Celtics look down upon them? 39
The TV station here is in full swing with the analysis and prediction of the season, but the Celtics' winning streak has no meaning to end.
After the crushing of 7 super-scores, the Celtics only won the opponent's first game by 30 points, and the record of consecutive victories has ended unfortunately!
The Boston Times' sports headline on this day used a picture of the Celtics winning the game. As for the headline, even Lin Long felt a little embarrassed.
"The Celtics are in poor form and only beat the Clippers by 31 points!"
This title is definitely worthy of everyone who bought this newspaper!
It's a bit exaggerated to win only 31 points!
After all, when a similar title appears next time, no one knows when it will be.
While the Celtics' journey to a 40-plus-point win per game is finally over, their regular-season winning streak is not over!
The season finally ushered in a rare break when the entire Celtics team put their winning streak to 44 games.
This time, it's not that the Celtics themselves get preferential treatment for some reason, but the 2001 All-Star Game has finally started!
Regardless of whether they are selected for the All-Star Game or not, whether or not there are projects to participate in the All-Star Game, the 29 teams will have a rare weekend to rest and relax.
After the end of the All-Star Game, the season will officially enter the second half, and the trade deadline will also come, which means that all teams must start the final charge and fight for their own goals.
In order to compete in the playoffs, in order to have home-court advantage, in order to enter the playoffs, in order to have a better selection in the lottery draw, or to make trades, to make the final reinforcement for the team.
No matter where the team is, no matter what the team's goals this season, the All-Star Game will be an important watershed!
He's like the last refueling station and the last relaxation in a marathon, after which the season goes into a real tiebreaker!
In the All-Star voting that ended earlier, Lin Long once again became the league's vote king, and once again led everyone by a cliff. He finally got a full 8.1 million All-Star votes, breaking his previous record in one fell swoop. !
What is even more exaggerated is that, apart from Lin Long, Vince Carter, who won the second most votes in the league, got 1.8 million votes, Iverson in third got 1.5 million votes, O'Neal in fourth was 1.49 million, and Kobe in fifth was 143. 10,000, 6th place Chris Webb with 1.3 million votes!
Together the five of them are still nearly 1 million votes less than Lin Long!
The worldwide popularity of Lin Long can only be described as terrifying and unimaginable 817!
In addition to the above 6 people, Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves won 1 million votes, Jason Kidd of the Phoenix Suns 940,000 votes, Gary Payton of the Boston Celtics 970,000 votes, Miami Heat's 970,000 votes Alonzo Mourning got 940,000 votes.
These ten people work together to support the starting lineup of the NBA All-Star Game!
In addition, the coaches selected 7 substitutes for each of the eastern and western teams, which were also announced a few days ago!
East side: Celtics Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace are both selected, Celtics once again have 4 people selected for the All-Star Game!
Plus, Orlando Magic's rising star Tracy McGrady, Miami Heat's Anthony Mason Jr., Detroit Pistons' Chauncey Billups, Milwaukee Bucks' Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen .
