Chapter 203: Paddy's All-Star

But Lin Yu didn't care, after all, this was normal.

After all, humans are not machines, and opponents are bound to have players who have explosive performances.

After all, even before Lin Yu traveled through time, no team had ever won all 82 regular season games.

On February 2, the Celtics finished their last game before the All-Star Game.

The team's record is 40 wins and 9 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and also first in the league.

Then Lin Yu went to the All-Star Game in Denver with Pierce.

Lin Yu’s view on the All-Star Weekend is to treat it as a place to have fun.

Apart from this, there is basically no other opinion.

After all, the All-Star AMVP cannot be used as the championship.

In addition to the All-Star Game, Lin Yu did not participate in events such as the Rookie Game and the Slam Dunk Contest.

The reason for not participating is very simple: I really have no interest.

Although he has just entered the NBA, he is already a nominal star player and has performed like a superstar.

Participating in the Rookie Challenge at this time does seem a bit bullying.

Therefore, Lin Yu did not participate in the rookie challenge.

As for the dunk contest...

The alliance did invite Lin Yu to participate.

After all, in actual combat this season, Lin Yu has left behind famous scenes such as dunking on a shark.

From the actual combat experience this season, Lin Yu's dunk is the best.

But Lin Yu chose to refuse.

First of all, Lin Yu is already very popular now.

The All-Star vote-winning number is proof of that.

You don't need to participate in a dunk contest to increase your popularity.

Second, the cost outweighs the gain.

For Lin Yu, winning is nothing more than a gain in popularity.

Lost...

That would be extremely embarrassing.

"Lin Yu is not as good as XXX. Lin Yu's dunking is really bad."

...

By then, such remarks will be everywhere.

This business was obviously not profitable for Lin Yu, so Lin Yu did not do it.

James: Exactly! I think so too! That’s why I won’t participate in the dunk contest either!

In the Rookie Challenge, Shehui Gua led the sophomore team to defeat the freshman team with a game-high 31 points, and successfully won the Rookie Game MVP!

In the Skills Challenge, Nash defeated Nuggets' Boykins with a score of 25.8 seconds to win the Skills Challenge championship.

In the three-point contest, the Suns' Quentin Richardson won the championship with 19 points.

In the mixed shooting contest, Suns "hacker" Marion and Dorisden Mayer won the All-Star Weekend mixed shooting contest championship with a score of 28 seconds.

It can be said that if Stoudemire had not only won second place in the dunk contest, the Suns would have had a great harvest at this All-Star Weekend.

In the end, the future "Eagle King" Josh Smith won the dunk contest championship.

In the All-Star Game, Lin Yu only played symbolically.

Compared to the All-Star Game, he now hopes to save his energy for the sprint after the All-Star Game.

If the new signature sneakers hadn’t been ready, Lin Yu might not have wanted to go through this process.

'Choice 3 Starry Sky' is Lin Yu's third pair of signature sneakers.

The boots are completely black with blue five-pointed stars on the sides.

The whole pair of shoes looks deep and gorgeous.

Although Lin Yu put on his new signature sneakers, it was just a formality.

He got 14 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds and then took a rest.

In the end, the East defeated the West 125:115.

Iverson won the AMVP with 15 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and 5 steals. After the game, Lin Yu had another meal with Yao Ming and then returned to Boston with Pierce.

After the All-Star Game, the season is coming to an end.

February 2, American Airlines Arena.

Today is the game between the Heat and the Pacers.

During this period, Mourning has received olive branches from many championship-minded teams, including the Heat, Spurs, Celtics, and Pacers.

This made Mourning suffer from decision-making difficulties.

He is now considering whether to go to the Pacers.

Although the Celtics are strong, as Riley said, no one knows whether the Celtics will suffer from their youth in the playoffs.

Although the Pacers are not good at key shots, they have changed a little after the introduction of Wu Sheng this season.

then……

The Sharks devoured the Pacers' inside players.

The only center of the Pacers with tonnage is David Harrison, the former No. 1 center in the Big 12 Conference.

However, as a rookie, it is really difficult for David Harrison to defend against the Sharks in the low post.

The Shark scored 30 points and 13 rebounds, as if he was back to his peak.

Seeing this, Mourning decisively chose not to go to the Pacers.

Although he wants to win the championship, he is still not sure about his own strength.

He is now just a blue-collar rim-protecting center and it is impossible for him to do any more work.

If the Pacers play against the Heat in the playoffs, and he becomes the main force to defend the Sharks...

He felt that the Pacers were a team that really didn't consider him.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, he called the cardinal directly.

That night, the Celtics announced that they had signed Alonzo Mourning with a minimum salary.

Mourning's destination surprised many people, but more teams began to make final reinforcements.

Because the winter trading market will be closed soon!

Before the trading market closed on February 2, teams began to make moves.

The first to take action were the Knicks.

The Knicks have been on the edge of the playoffs this season, and with the rise of the Nets, it is extremely dangerous for the Knicks to enter the playoffs.

And this season the entire team has become a background figure.

The Knicks are eager to change.

Just as the Hornets disbanded, the Knicks reached a deal directly with the Hornets.

The Knicks sent: backup forward Malik Rose from the Spurs and the Spurs' 2007 first-round pick, the Knicks' 2006 second-round pick and some cash.

Hornets send out: PJ Brown.

The arrival of PJ Brown can make up for the defensive problem at the power forward position after the departure of Kurt Thomas.

It can also help Eddy Curry clean up his mess on the defensive end.

After the Knicks completed the deal, the Heat made their move.

Mourning went to the Celtics, but the Sharks also needed a backup center.

Heat sent out: Reserve Shandon Anderson and a 2007 second-round pick.

The Eagles sent out: Trash.

That’s right, it’s the scumbag who will be the man with facial paralysis on his feet in the future.

If we put aside his character, he has the ability to be a backup center, so there should be no problem.

The most surprising deal was naturally the deal for Weber.

The Kings sent out: Webber, backup forward Barnes, and Michael Bradley.

76ers send out: forwards Skinner, Kenny Thomas and Williamson.

The reason why the Kings sent Webber away is very simple. In addition to injuries, there are team conflicts and contracts.

Webber was plagued by injuries, but he still had three years and $3 million left on his contract.

The most important thing is that Webber and Peja had a conflict.
