Chapter 301 The Arrival of the All-Star Game

After waiting for about a week, Li Xun actually received a call from Ross.

"Li, have you heard all the recent news?"

"By the way, their infighting game happened to be against your Mavericks. You must know that."

Rose and Li Xun are rookies in the same class, and they joined hands to share the best rookie. Although the two don't have much contact with each other, they still have a good friendship.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and this is roughly what the two of them mean.

Whenever something important happened, Rose would call Li Xun.

Especially for this kind of team signings, in Rose's view, Li Xun has quite a say in this aspect.

"Of course I know, but you can't really trade Noah for Boozer, can you?"

"Noah is so young, and his current strength is even stronger than Boozer, especially on the defensive end."

"In the current league, the defense of the restricted area can be better than Noah's. I don't think I can find three people."

Li Xun's evaluation of Shu Qi in Chicago is quite high.

This is not a flattery, but a fact. Noah is also a player who has received DPOY under normal circumstances.

All kinds of defenses have also entered the first and second teams, and he even made the first team of the best team.

Of course, this is a matter of next season. The current Noah can do best is only a defensive second team.

Ross was taken aback, he didn't expect Noah to be so powerful in Li Xun's mind.

"Lee, we also know that Noah can't be traded for Boozer."

"But they didn't let go. Do you think there is any way we can buy Boozer more easily now."

Rose seems to be very interested in Boozer, determined to take Boozer.

Li Xun shook his head, "That's no way, we can only wait slowly."

"When the Heat lose patience with Boozer or James, the price may be lowered. Of course, the possibility of losing patience with Boozer is definitely greater."

"But you also have to take risks, such as other teams eyeing Boozer."

"Or the two reconciled directly, and then the Heat stopped selling."

Rose laughed directly, "There is no need to worry about these two aspects. Boozer had the right to veto the transaction when he went to the Heat."

"We also contacted his agent in private, and he still wants to come to our Bulls."

"After all, Chicago is also a bustling city, better than most teams."

"It seems that we can only wait slowly."

There are probably less than two months before the All-Star Weekend.

By the end of the All-Star weekend, the door to the trading market will be closed, and the Heat will definitely have to make a choice.

The game went on one after another, and the Mavericks' record was outstanding.

However, compared to the previous years when he was in the Pistons, it is difficult for the Mavericks to keep winning every game easily.

Although the winning rate is very high, some games are more difficult to win, and some games are regrettably lost.

The reason for the lost game is very simple, that is, the players in the team feel collectively upset.

In this case, it is impossible for a team not to lose.

In this way, time slowly entered February, and there were only a few days left before the All-Star Weekend.

The first round of All-Star voting has already been released.

This year, because Li Xun came to the west, the west was extraordinarily lively.

In addition, starting from this year, the All-Stars began to restructure.

Before, there were three positions: center forward, forward and defender.

Starting from this year, the position of center forward has been cancelled, and only the positions of forward and defender remain.

To be precise, it should be the frontcourt and the backcourt.

The reason for doing this is actually very simple.

There are really not many decent centers left in the league right now. If the center position is still retained, it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassing starting All-Star centers.

For example, the All-Star starting center in the Western Conference last season was Bynum.

And this year, if the center position is retained and unqualified rookies like Zhuang Shen are eliminated, depending on the number of votes, this year's starting center in the Western Conference may be Omer Asik.

Maybe most fans have never heard the name of this native chicken center.

Asik, who is in the third grade, has been soy sauce for the first two years, averaging two or three points per game. This year, he averaged around 10 points and 11 rebounds per game.

If this becomes the starting center in the Western Conference, it would be too funny.

When all the voting results came out, Li Xun was unquestionably elected as the All-Star vote king again.

This is the third time he has been voted champion, and the key is that he has an absolute crushing advantage every time.

After Li Xun, Kobe has the most votes.

However, compared with Li Xun's 280 million votes, Kobe's 159 million votes are a bit shabby.

After Kobe is James. James has about the same number of votes as Kobe, only [-] less.

In addition to Li Xun, the Mavericks also had two All-Star selections, namely Clay and Nowitzki.

The old driver is currently averaging 16.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season, which is almost his weakest season outside his rookie season.

But everyone is also very clear why his data will shrink.

When the team has so many top shooting spots, it is quite normal for the scoring to shrink.

Even if the score has shrunk, the status in the world is still there after all.

Even if Li Xun came to the Mavericks, the most successful player in the history of the Mavericks is still the old driver.

Nowitzki is a backup forward.

Clay is currently averaging 20.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Just looking at the rebound data, I thought it was the data of a pocket player like Thomas Jr..

Among them, in terms of scoring percentage, Clay averaged 47% of his field goals per game and 43.2% of his three-pointers.

Such an offensive efficiency is undoubtedly a very top existence among the defenders.

It is a pity that his free throw percentage this year was only 85%, and he failed to enter the 180 club.

The so-called 180 club, that is, the average field goal percentage plus free throw percentage, plus three-point field goal percentage, finally equal to or higher than 180.
In addition, Clay has another flaw, that is, he is a little unstable.

Maybe 40 points can be scored in this game, but only 4 points can be scored in the next game.

It seems that pitcher-type players naturally have such disadvantages.

What's more, it's a pure pitcher like Clay who can't be more pure.

However, this is only a small problem. How can a rookie remain stable all the time, so it did not affect Clay's selection to the All-Star.

It's a pity that because the Western Conference guards are dominated by Kobe and Paul, Clay can only play as a backup guard.

Li Xun is of course the starter.

The two starting backcourts in the West are Kobe and Paul, and the three starting frontcourts are Li Xun, Durant and Griffin.

Looking at it this way, the Clippers' combat power is actually really good.

The five starting All-Stars in the Western Conference occupy two seats.

And under normal circumstances, the Clippers now have Jordan.

If you look at it this way, you can know why the Clippers coach He Dou has been criticized by people.

Holding a good card, he can always lead the team to lose at critical moments.

However, this matter can't be completely blamed on He Dou. Injuries are also a very important factor.

This year's All-Star host is in Houston.

Before leaving, Li Xun received a call from Yao Ming.

Although Yao Ming has retired for some time, he still often comes to the United States, after all, there are still many of his industries here.

After arriving in Houston, Li Xun took his old driver and Clay to Yao Ming's banquet.

"Hey, don't mention it, the business is getting worse every year."

"I was thinking about closing the door quickly."

Yao Ming was obviously very dissatisfied with Yao Restaurant's business.

"How about the Shark Club in China?"

Li Xun asked casually.

Yao Ming still shook his head, "It's a loss as well. The little money I earned from playing golf doesn't take ten or eight years, so I have to lose it all."

Li Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, these words were absolutely exaggerated.

"Yao, how is Wang doing? It feels like I haven't seen him for at least ten years."

While speaking, Nowitzki mentioned Wang Zhizhi.

"It's not bad, the competitive state is maintained well."

"But I'm getting older, and I may not be able to play for a few years."

"By the way, Sun Yue, didn't you say that you can't get along with the Rockets anymore and want to go to another team?"

Yao Ming suddenly smiled at Sun Yue.

Sun Yue is also here tonight. He is playing in Houston now, so there is no reason not to call him over.

He looked at Li Xun with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Li Xun had paved the way for him with a very good starting point, but he still couldn't make it out.

"Why don't you come to our Mavericks, our Mavericks are short of young point guards now."

"Sun, I am very impressed with your game. There are still very few point guards of your height in the league."

"It happens that we have a tall point guard like Jason in our team. I think he can teach you experience."

Nowitzki said with a smile.

Kidd is what he called a tall point guard, but this tall point guard is also a point of scoring.

His height is 193 centimeters, if it is put in later generations, this height is really not tall.

After all, there have been many point guards over two meters tall in later generations.

But in the previous era, the height of most point guards was no more than 1.9 meters, and Kidd's height was very advantageous.

It is precisely because Kidd has used his height advantage to bully the little man for most of his career.

Maybe this is why he can develop players like Antetokounmpo.

He knows how players can use their height advantage.

Sun Yue is undoubtedly a tall and large point guard. If he can really get Kidd's guidance, he will definitely benefit a lot.

But Li Xun also knew that this matter was not so easy.

With the virtue of the Rockets, if they were to trade Sun Yue with them, they would definitely have to open their mouths.

So this matter can only go with the flow and wait slowly.

A few days later, the miscellaneous games ended and the All-Star Game officially began.

Li Xun is completely uninterested in this All-Star MVP this year, he has already won three.

I have just played in my career for less than four years, and I have won three.

So this time for the All-Stars, he is completely relaxed. Whoever wants to win the All-Star MVP will win it.

Speaking of which, those stars in the league are also miserable. Since Li Xun came, they haven't been involved in the All-Star MVP.

Since Li Xun entered the league, excluding this time, he has appeared in the All-Star MVP four times.

Among them, Li Xun got 3 by himself, and another one was designated by him to Curry.

So this year's All-Star, Li Xun Xunsi can be regarded as a good person and give up this AMVP to others.

"Hey, Lee!"

"We turned out to be teammates, it's really like a dream."

When Du Xiaoshuai saw Li Xun, he trotted forward to say hello.

"Kevin, I think you have always dreamed of being teammates with Li Xun, right?"

"Let me ask you, Scarlett Johansson and Li Xun, if you had to choose, who would you choose?"

Paul laughed and joked from the sidelines.

Now everyone knows that Durant wants to drink the black widow's bath water.

Durant blushed, but he was not angry, "Of course I choose Li Xun."

"I think this is the right choice for any man who puts his career first."

Li Xun was speechless, he could choose himself, as long as he didn't worry about his bath water.

"Man, I hear you think the Grizzlies have a chance to make the Western Conference Finals this year."

"I think you are ignoring our Clippers?"

Li Xun said publicly before that the Grizzlies are the most promising team to meet their Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals this season.

At first, this remark was just casually said after the game, but was stabbed by the Grizzlies reporter.

It caused quite a reaction in the league.

The main reason is that many teams are dissatisfied with this.

If the Mavericks can enter the Western Conference finals, they have no opinion, there is no way, who let this be Li Xun's team?
Can Grizzlies?
Why did he enter the Western Conference Finals?
Especially the Clippers, they are two All-Star starters this year. In Paul's view, the Clippers are obviously the most promising team to enter the Western Conference Finals.

He even felt that even if they met the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, they would not have no chance of winning.

When Paul was talking, the younger brother Griffin stood behind and smirked at Li Xun.

Li Xun waved his hand, "I just said it casually, everyone has a chance to enter the Western Conference Finals."

"That's right. It must be the Grizzlies bragging. I said how could they be the most likely to enter the Western Conference Finals."

There are no Grizzlies players in the West tonight, and they haven't selected an All-Star, so Paul is not worried about being heard by the Grizzlies players.

Li Xun was speechless.

I don't know if Paul will still be so confident after the playoffs start.

Because under normal circumstances, the Clippers' opponent in the first round of this year's playoffs is the Grizzlies.

Then they were crushed by the Grizzlies and went directly to the first round.

The lineup of this Clippers is amazing, Paul, Griffin, K 6, Caron Butler, Matt Barnes, Blood Cloth, Odom, Billups, and under normal circumstances there are Little Jordan.

The result is that under such circumstances, the Grizzlies who were not selected by an All-Star in a team were crushed.

This round of the series also broke up Paul's divinity.

But in fact, Paul can't blame Paul for losing. He has completely exploded Conley in the matchup with Conley.

It's a pity that in the inside duel, the black and white bears overwhelmed the combination of Jordan and Griffin.

Combined, the Clippers' inside combination averaged only a little over ten rebounds per game, and their shooting percentage was far from double bears.

This once again proved Deng Daidai's toughness, and it was easy for this old bone to clean up the black and white bears.
