"I'd love to give it a go, Bruce, it's a great idea!"
Embiid agreed immediately.
Embiid is a jerk. He dared to recruit James and Qin Yang in his rookie season, and wanted them to be younger brothers. This kind of courage is really not something ordinary people can give.
But this also shows Embi's strength.
If it were someone else, they would not have the courage at all.Courage comes from strength.
After Embiid, Anthony Davis also expressed support: "This is a good idea. I think being big is an advantage, not a disadvantage. In this game, I will let the smaller guys see our strength."
Both of them had spoken, and the others had no objections.
However, Qin Yang also arranged a simple strategy.
With five big men on the court, the biggest problem is the team's perimeter defense. This is an absolute flaw, because it is a natural misalignment for a big man to face a small man on the perimeter.
The little guy on the opposite side can definitely drive to the basket.
Therefore, at this time, the inside defense is needed.
The second is rebounding. With so many big men, rebounding is the most important thing. Even if the defense is a little worse, as long as the advantage of rebounding is large, you can still win.
Therefore, the movement speed of the inside line must be fast, and the defense of the outside line must also be paid attention to.
Qin Yang's starting lineup had already been confirmed before the start of the game.
Qin Yang, Paul George, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid.The average height of this starter is over 211CM.
Looking at NBA history, they are all the highest lineups, not one of them.
The All-Star Game hasn't changed much from last year.
The rookie challenge is still the US team and the international team, it is still as simple and clear as ever, and the US team has been abused again.
Although many media believe that the rookie talent of the US team is better and there will be more superstars in the future, it is undeniable that in the competition between the US team and the international team, the international team has an absolute advantage.This advantage is not because the international team is too old, but because of the team's tactical cooperation.
The rookies of the US team, except for a few players, are all unique.
Taking the ball is singles, nothing else at all.
Expressing yourself is the most important thing, as for other things, we can talk about it later.
In comparison, the players of the international team are different. Most players are very good at passing and shooting, because this is very important in team tactics.
The Rookie Challenge is followed by a [-]-point shootout contest and a slam dunk contest.
This year's three-point contest is as boring as ever.
Since Curry and Klay Thompson won the championship, they have stopped participating in the three-point contest. On the contrary, some rookies and new superstars still participate, such as Lillard and others.
In this three-point contest, Lillard won.
In the finals, Lillard faced tremendous pressure. On the premise that he must make five of the last six shots, he hit five goals and won the championship.
The scene is boiling over.
After the game, the news media also praised Lillard for his big heart and excellent three-pointers, which almost exaggerated Lillard.
However... In the playoffs of the past few seasons, Lillard has no limit to his teammates.
The efficiency value is ridiculously low.
It's okay if the defense is not good enough, and the offensive end is not good. Facing strong defense, you can't play your own offense, and you can't lead the team to victory.
Compared with his performance in the playoffs, Lillard is not as good as McCollum.
Dunk contest.
The Mavericks played in two, McGee and Mitchell.
The league began to favor Mitchell, treating him as the next Kobe. In addition, Mitchell received a lot of attention in the Mavericks, and many fans supported him.
It's a pity that the final champion is still Zach Laven.
Zach Laven's jumping is too good, and several dunks are close to full marks, overwhelming other players, and there is no suspense in winning.
After winning the slam dunk contest, Zach LaVine said that he would also withdraw from the slam dunk contest after winning three slam dunk contest championships.
This pretense almost caught up with Qin Yang.
Mitchell also participated in the Skills Challenge.
Mitchell has received many invitations from the league this year, and has spent more time in the situation than most superstars. The league's desire to praise Mitchell is too obvious.
Even Lakers manager Magic Johnson praised him in an interview:
"Why not? We need the next Kobe. Mitchell has the potential to become a superstar. If he wants, we are willing to bring him to Los Angeles."
But in fact, the Lakers are only willing to pay a junk contract and a second-round pick for Mitchell.
This kind of attitude is like a dog.
The Mavericks want the Lakers' power forward Kuzma, but the Lakers obviously don't want to let him go. In terms of future potential, Kuzma may be a good power forward, but compared with Mitchell, he is far behind, so the Lakers are not at a loss in this deal.
But the Lakers are still unwilling to do it.
Obviously, what is said is clearly inconsistent with what is done.
After the other games are over, this season's All-Star Game finally ushered in the most important game, the All-Star Game.
And this game has a lot of attention.
In the pre-match interview, Qin Yang stood in front of his teammates, showing a very relaxed expression:
"Cooperating with these teammates, I actually feel very relaxed, because I am finally not the one with the tallest perimeter, and I don't have to worry about me being a hindrance to others."
"I think it's going to be a fantastic game and I'm looking forward to it."
On the other side, James is also full of confidence:
"Of course, we will win because we have enough energy and as long as we can run, we will win. We have developed our tactics and are ready."
Warming up before the game, TNT experts sent a lineup of the Big Three to explain.
Kenny Smith pulled out a report and said:
"According to the survey before the game, more than [-]% of the fans believe that the James team will perform miracles and win this All-Star Game. What do you think?"
"impossible!"
Charles Barkley and O'Neill spoke directly.
O'Neal smiled and puffed out his stomach: "Dude, do you know who I regret not working with after I retire?"
"Bruce Qin!"
O'Neal said seriously: "I have cooperated with Kobe, James, Wade, Nash and others, but in all the cooperation, I did not feel very satisfied. This feeling is hard to understand. Simply put, playing with Bruce will become extraordinarily simple."
"Yes, I think so too."
Charles Barkley also agreed: "If Bruce was in our era, there is no doubt that he would become an enhanced version of Magic Johnson. Maybe the championship would have nothing to do with Jordan."
