Chapter 44 All-Star Weekend

Then interviewed Huang Jun and James, both of whom were very supportive of coach McBron. Brown is undoubtedly the greatest credit for claiming that the knight has such a record. Huang Jun and James said the same thing about this.

Brown smiled happily at his players who supported him so much. Not every coach would get so much praise from the players. What he heard from James Huang Jun's tone was full of sincerity, which was not hypocritical. Many people will say some hypocritical words in front of the coach, but he can still hear the hypocrisy and sincerity.

That's why Brown's face is full of joy, otherwise how could it be?

In the following days, the Cavaliers maintained a winning record in all the games and entered the All-Star Weekend. The Cavaliers' record was 44 wins and 13 losses, ranking first in the league.

The reason why it was able to reach the top position is that the Spurs lost one game, which was another loss after losing to the Cavaliers, so the top position in the league naturally came to the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers took it directly with both hands without any politeness. For the Cavaliers, after the All-Star, they will be the postseason. I'm ready for the game.

When it comes to the All-Star weekend, it must be familiar to those who like basketball, but how did the All-Star weekend come about?

In fact, the reason why the NBA has an All-Star weekend is mainly Hask, the head of the public relations department of the NBA headquarters at that time. Cohen's suggestion was inspired by the All-Star Game of the National Professional Baseball League. The All-Star Game of Baseball is scheduled to be held in the middle of each season, so the NBA All-Star Game follows this habit.

In the early 1950s, the professional basketball league was far from as popular as it is now. Cohen's original idea was nothing more than to further promote the NBA. Cohen's suggestion was quickly approved by the then NBA president Rudolph. The NBA All-Star Game has been finalized, and it is planned to be held once a year.

Now the venues of the NBA's annual All-Star Game are different. Last year was the home of the New Orleans Hornets, and this year's All-Stars were played at the home of the Phoenix Suns. But how did the origin of the venue come from?

Portland Trail Blazers boss Walter? Brown stood up first and expressed strong support for the creation of the All-Star Game. Brown also announced that it would provide a free venue for this "freshman" event - Boston Garden.

On March 2, 1951, the venue of the first All-Star Game was held in Boston Garden, and Boston Garden held two consecutive All-Star Games, which was also the first two All-Star Games. The All-Star Game was loved and paid attention to by more and more fans, and the box office naturally went up, and this At that time, the venue of the All-Star Game was finally changed.

In 1953, the third All-Star Game was finally moved to Ford Wayne.

And this is just the origin of the All-Star. The All-Star Weekend is completely different from the All-Star Game. The All-Star Game is just a game, and the All-Star Weekend is not a game.

If 1951 is the birth year of the NBA All-Star Game, then 1984 is definitely a major turning point in the history of All-Star development. Before 1949, all the contents of the NBA All-Star Game were just a match between the East and the West. But after 1984, the All-Star Game made a qualitative leap, and the concept of an all-star weekend also developed from it.

The NBA All-Star Game in 1984 was held in Denver. The exciting slam dunk competition was also the first time in history to enter the NBA All-Star Game, and the result was quite well received. So the NBA decided to permanently include the slam dunk into the All-Star Game and expand the All-Star Game to an All-Star weekend. Two years later, in Dallas, there was another content for the NBA All-Star weekend: the three-pointer competition.

In the past ten years, the NBA All-Star weekend has developed more and more scale, gradually introducing more projects and contents: such as the rookie game that started in 1994, the first-year rookie team against the second-year star team; the "double ball game" began in 1998, with an NBA star and an WN. BA stars pair up and play the game.

In the decades of All-Stars, many classic shots have been recorded in the history of the NBA, and the kiss of "Magician" Johnson in 1992 and the tears of "Flying Man" Jordan in 2003, like many precious old photos, have become indispensable in NBA history books. One page.

And now the All-Star has undoubtedly become an honor, an honor recognized by the fans. You should know how difficult it is to get the recognition of a person. Isn't there a saying: the audience's eyes are always bright, who performs well, and whose performance is very rubbish. All this escapes. It can't be the eyes of the fans and spectators.

Although Yao Ming is Chinese, and China's population is the most populous country in the world, so many people think that it is very normal for Yao Ming to enter the All-Star Game. After all, with so many people, the voting system is estimated to be paralyzed. However, if Yao Ming's performance in the NBA is very rubbish and does not give Chinese fans a long face, then there are still so many fans voting for him, so the audience's eyes are bright, and a person may not cast a precious vote because his eyes are bright. But countless people voted for him, isn't it Xue Liang?

So if people are recognized, it is the happiest thing, so now many excellent players will be very unhappy to see that they have not been selected as All-Stars. So now many players want to be selected as All-Stars, which leads to more and more fierce competition for All-Stars, because some players must be more than 24 players, but only 24 places are selected.

So the battle for the place in the current All-Star Game is very fierce. It's really not easy for Huang Jun to be selected for the All-Star Game. You know, Wade's strength is very strong. Huang Jun, who has just entered the league, squeezed Wade out of the All-Star starting position, although the two are very good in private. Friend, but this matter will still cause a little grudge.

However, at the moment of being selected as the All-Star starter, Huang Jun had already called Wade. Although he could clearly feel that the other party's mood was not high from the phone, Huang Jun still said what he should have said. He didn't want to make it difficult for the two to get back together because of the All-Star start-up. That's not worth the loss.

The All-Star starting lineup is very important to Huang Jun, but the most important thing in his heart is still friendship. Compared with friendship, there is no hesitation to choose the latter.

After these words, Wade began to look at Huang Jun again. From Huang Jun's tone, he knew that he was not just saying it, but very sincere. That's why Wade began to look at Huang Jun again. After joining the NBA for so many years, Wade has seen such a person for the first time.

Despite this, Wade's interest is still not happy. You know, when Huang Jun didn't come here, he was an All-Star starter. However, the other party grabbed his own starting position as soon as he came here. This is his rookie season. Does Wade still want to be selected as a starter in the future? That's very difficult.

Huang Jun knew that Wade could not recover so quickly, so he didn't say anything more. Everything was fate. If the relationship between the two changed from a friend to an enemy from now on, then he would admit it and would not do more retention or anything.

If he hadn't been selected as an All-Star, he would have flown back to China. He would have gone back to see his parents, brothers and girlfriends who he hadn't seen for a long time. How could he wait for the start of the All-Star Game here.

Originally, the league also invited Huang Jun to participate in the All-Star Skills Competition, but it was politely rejected, because in addition to the All-Star Game, he also had to participate in the Rookie Competition, so Huang Jun refused without any hesitation for physical reasons, and his attitude was very resolute.

Now he is worried about how much time the coach of the All-Star Game will give him to play. You should know that the playoffs will start in less than two months. At this time, the Cavaliers have begun to think about the main force of the team. If he can be absent from training, he will never let the main players participate and give them more time to rest. This is riding. What the taxi needs to do now.

Because of this year's efforts, it is for the playoffs, and the playoffs are a must-have road to the championship. Only by successfully walking through this road can you see the trophy at the end and hold it with both hands. Although there are many difficulties on the way, this year's knights are very confident about it, and there is no reason not to believe that they can't win the championship.

This is not to say that the Cavaliers' players are arrogant, but that the current Cavaliers have this capital. For the Cavaliers who have the top five defenders in the league, Huang Jun and LeBron James, the strongest small forward in the league, they really have this capital. No team in the league dares to say that the current Cavaliers are not competing. The strength to win the championship, no, absolutely no.

If it hadn't been for Huang Jun's injury in the middle, then the knights' record would be very terrible now. They would never lose so many of thirteen games. Five to seven of the thirteen defeats were because they didn't have enough support strength, so they finally lost the game. In the five-to-gas games, most of them were because The reason for Huang Jun's injury failed to bring enough firepower to the knights, so he finally lost the game.

Through this period of competition, many fans know how important Huang Jun is to the current Cavaliers, because the team is now used to having him. If there is no Huang Jun suddenly, then the Cavaliers' attack will have no engine. They can't get used to it at all, let alone maintain efficiency.
