486 All-Star Results

The All-Star vote has been in newspapers and forums, and Chamberlain doesn't care. Anyway, there are more people in the league who have opinions about him. Old Nelson advised him: "Genius always suffers jealousy. M‫ was the same when he played All-Star for the first time. Didn't Magic Johnson and Smiling Assassin Thomas join forces to not pass him? But when your ability exceeds that of other people, they will not be jealous of you, but will only admire you and praise you, just like M‫'s experience."

Chamberlain sneered: "H6, you underestimate me. Do I care about the opinions of these people? Do you know what my life creed is? Go your own way and leave others with no way to go."

But not everything Chamberlain can tolerate. The Timberwolves head coach and former Celtic giant McHale told reporters: "The reason Chamberlain has won so many votes is not that his ability has definitely overwhelmed other stars in the league. At least Dwight and LeBron are better than him. He is just lucky. He is Chinese. We all know that there are many Chinese, just like... uh. In short, I don't think Chamberlain deserves his name."

McHale is narrow-minded. The reason why he said this is to take revenge. In December, the Timberwolves fought with the Warriors. That time, the Warriors slaughtered them with a big score of 102. McHale was questioned. He kept holding his anger and wanted to settle the score with Chamberlain. Now that he finally waited for the opportunity, how could he not take action?

Chamberlain's response to this seemed to be light and didn't say much, but the Warriors knew that the next time they met the Timberwolves, Chamberlain would definitely show the power of the No. 1 center in the league.

Indeed, Chamberlain has been playing center but is placed in the position of power forward to compete with Nowitzki, Duncan, Gasol, and Sir., for All-Star starting position, which is really unkind in the eyes of these people.

There are too many top forwards in the West, including Duncan, S. Jr., Nowitzki, Gasol, West, Boozer, Anthony, O'Dorm. Fortunately, Brand, O'Neal Jr., Webber, and Martin, are injured and old, otherwise how can we compete? The competition in this position was cruel, but Chamberlain squeezed in again, but he is the one who will definitely become a starter, how can this make others live?

The 209 NHA All-Star Game will be held at 19:3 on February 15, West Coast Time at the Phoenix Suns home venue. Phoenix stands out from 209 contenders such as Toronto, New York, Oakland and Milwaukee. This is also its third time hosting the NHA All-Star Weekend.

The Warriors were calm and ordinary in January. After losing to the Mavericks, the Warriors did relax a lot. The pressure of winning streak quickly disappeared, and the players once again worked together to set their goal in the finals.

The Warriors have a total of 6 games this month, and they have achieved 13 wins and losses. Since the start of the game, all the records are 3 wins and 9 losses. After ranking in the Lakers, the Lakers' record is still extremely outstanding. They are 34 wins and 7 losses. As of the end of January, the head coach of the All-Star Game has been released. Anyway, the head coach of the team with the best record in the East and West is the head coach of the East and West All-Stars. The Lakers' Zen Master Feier Jackson and Cavaliers coach Mike Brown will lead the team.

1984 was a very rare year for the draft, and the Trail Blazers, who held the second pick, were full of expectations and hoped to choose a new savior. In fact, the draft rankings of that rookie were very fixed from the beginning. Olajuwon was the undisputed No. 1 pick. Before Barkley started the draft, he had already had a lot of quarrel with the 76ers due to the contract amount and weight exceeding the standard.

For the Trail Blazers, in the absence of hope of getting Olajuwon, their first choice is star center Sam Powell from the super basketball prestigious university of Kentucky. In recent years, there has been a argument that the Trail Blazers chose Powell instead of Jordan because there was already a defender potential stock Drexler in the team at that time, but this argument is more or less underestimated Powell's meaning.

Now when Powell is mentioned, people will immediately think of the word "parallel goods". But at that time, choosing Powell and ignoring Jordan, like choosing Oden instead of Durant in 207, was a decision that didn't require much hesitation. At that time, Powell's reputation in the NCAA was no less than Jordan. Powell, who was 26 meters tall, was not only extremely flexible, but also had delicate skills, and was hailed as Kentucky's Jabbar.

Compared with a late-achieving player like Jordan, Poway has been a national genius since he was a child. When Jordan was still begging for a coach for a starting place in a high school team, Poway was recognized as the number one high school student in the United States. Poway, who had just graduated from high school in 198, was selected for the US Olympic men's basketball team. This is a super high courtesy that neither the Magician nor Bird had ever enjoyed.

Poway has been honing four years in Kentucky, a famous basketball school. He is famous all over the United States for his super high basketball IQ, broad overall situation, delicate basketball skills, and unpredictable high-level support skills. When he participated in the draft in 1984, the scout reported that his best template was Jabbar, and he would be the next Ralph Sampson at the worst. You should know that Sampson is not an unknown junior. He was the Rockets' No. 1 pick in 1983. He can average 2fl0 per game in the rookie season. If it weren't ruined by injuries, the double towers formed by him and Olajuwon would definitely make Jordan the Great die in the 1980s and 1990s.

Of course, Powell is not perfect. His biggest flaw is that he is 216 meters tall and has a little insufficient weight and confrontation. He missed many games due to a leg injury in the final stage of his senior year. However, the Trail Blazers repeatedly asked the team doctor to conduct physical examinations on Powell before the draft, but the conclusions all came to be that the leg injury had been healed. The Trail Blazers finally decided on Powell, but in the end they could not escape the tragedy.

Looking at the tragedy of the Trail Blazers' high rookies over the years, the Trail Blazers' poor medical care and limited level will definitely not escape the blame, but the idea of ​​the Trail Blazers' senior management focusing on player skills and ignoring their injury history is also questionable. After all, both Bill Walton, Sam Powell and Oden in the past have had serious injury history during the NCAA period, but these risks did not attract enough attention in the draft.

In fact, the value judgments of the Trail Blazers executives when selecting rookies are already very unique. In the NHA's many years of advocating gorgeous offensives, in the atmosphere where peers pay more attention to player potential, physical fitness rather than experience and skills, Trail Blazers executives still believe in older rookies with solid basic skills every time they choose rookies. This is really rare.

In recent years, the most reflective of the ideas of the Trail Blazers is that they chose Roy in 2UU. The 2UU year was a junior draft. In the opinion of the Trail Blazers, this is too similar to the draft in 2019. Bird, who was born in elementary school in 2019, ended up at the sixth pick because he insisted on completing his senior year, and Roy, who was also born in elementary school in 2UU, also fell to the sixth pick.

The Trail Blazers have always regretted that they lacked enough courage to bet on Bird in 2019. So when they saw Roy fall to the sixth pick and were selected by the Timberwolves in 2UU, they immediately decided to trade with the Timberwolves and got what they wanted. At least so far, they won the bet. Roy may not reach Bird's height, but only entered the league for three seasons, and he has become an excellent leader and a powerful scoring machine.

The draft itself is a gamble, but unfortunately, the Trail Blazers lost the bet in 207. If there were no injuries, the Trail Blazers would have accumulated a group of mature and mature stars in recent years, and even had the opportunity to become another Celtic in the NHA who won the world with a solid style of playing. However, there has never been any if in this world. If you lose, you will lose.

After reviewing the tragic history of the Trail Blazers, if someone really needs to stand up and take responsibility, then the team doctor is definitely not the only sinner. Yes, they failed to accurately verify the players' injuries during the draft, and they did not rejuvenate when the stars were injured. But who dared to hold the Trail Blazers accountable Why do the senior leaders of the Trail Blazers always choose those stars with a history of major injuries?

In 1984, the Trail Blazers chose Powell and missed Jordan. People now say that it was because the Trail Blazers already had a glider, and they completely ignored Powell's bravery back then. In 207, the Trail Blazers missed Durant because they chose Oden. Will people in the future say that Oden is born to be a parallel product? They missed Durant because the Trail Blazers already had Roy?

Time went back to the 207 draft. At that time, two teams from the Northwest region held two draft picks, the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick. That night, Portland chose star center Greg Oden from Ohio State University, while the Supersonics (now Thunder) in the same division chose Kevin Durant from the University of Texas. In fact, this choice is undoubtedly. Oden swept across the United States in college and was known as the combination of Jabbar, Malone, Olajuwon and Ewing, while Durant was questioned because of his thin body.

At that time, it was natural for the Trail Blazers to choose Oden. If they were not the No. 1 pick but the other twenty-nine teams were the No. 1 pick, they would have chosen Oden as the No. 1 pick.

But two years have passed, Durant is moving towards the ranks of superstars at a supersonic speed. At the age of 21, he is expected to strive for his first scoring title this season. Another city is still immersed in the idea that "he will get better". The top two in the 207 draft are extending towards two different trajectories, one is driving rapidly towards greatness, and the other is rapidly sinking into mediocrity.

Oklahoma City can now forget the Hornets, the city's first NHAI team, and now the Hornets are gone and the Thunder are here, Durant leads his youth army to become the city's icon, and fans will be able to witness the team's first playoff journey at the Ford Center Arena after the season.

It has to be said that the Thunder team is really perfect. First of all, their core players are all young players, and their prospects are among the best in the entire NHA league. Including Durant, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, DeAndrew Jordan, Saab Seiflosa. The Thunder made everyone's eyes shine this season. Currently, they are ranked first in the B-ranked All-Star in the Western Conference and may be able to enter the playoffs.

Especially now that Chamberlain is strongly ruling the penalty area, Durant is invincible on the outside, and there is a comparison between two people, Oden's downfall is even more obvious.

There are many Indians in Portland life. These fans claim that all this is because someone changes his fate against the will of heaven. Chamberlain shouldn't have appeared in the NHA at all. He didn't have that ability and of course he didn't have that fate. It was just that a mysterious Chinese Feng Shui master forced him to change his fate and blessed him with his luck. Originally, this powerful general who won the inside of the NHA should be Oden's.

Chamberlain really agreed with this statement. He remembered the mysterious guy who called himself an alien, the man who disappeared into the snow and ice world of Alaska. If it weren't for him, he would have been a fat and incompetent big man.

Sometimes Chamberlain really thinks, although the alien said he reshaped his body according to Wilterburn's standards, is that true? Could it be Oden?
