Especially among the people who pushed him out, there was another freshman from tmd's second year who even had issues with him. He tmd even wanted to participate in this year's Rookie Game!!!
Is there still heavenly law?!!! Is there still royal law?!!
It is estimated that more than half a month after the end of All-Star, Lillard will break out again to prove himself.
But there is no way, this is Western Conference, Wild West who even served as a substitute for last year's mvp.
It is worth mentioning that although the three giants Thunder all failed to be selected as All-Star Starting Lineup, they were all selected as All-Star substitutes.
Thunder's first team won three substitute places for Western Conference.
Regarding this, Oklahoma City Fans were naturally delighted and overjoyed.
On January 25, League announced the lineup of Rookie Game.
It's still last year's template, Team USA versus World Team.
World Team: Bogdan·Bogdanovic(Kings), Dillon·Brooks(Grizzlies), Joel·Embiid(Philadelphia 76ers), Buddy·Hield(Kings), Laurie·Markkanen(Bulls), Jamal·Murray(Nuggets), Frank·Frank Ntilikina(Knicks), Domantas·Sabonis(Pacers), Dario Saric(Philadelphia 76ers), Ben·Simmons(Philadelphia 76ers)
Team USA: Lonzo Ball (Lakers, was injured against Mavericks on January 14, and was replaced by De'Aaron Fox), Malcolm·Brogdon(Bucks), Jaylen·Brown(Celtics), John· Collins(Thunder), Chris·Dunn(Bulls), Brandon·Ingram(Lakers), Kyle·Kuzma(Lakers), Jayson·Tatum(Celtics), Donovan·Mitchell(Jazz), Chen Xi(Thunder)
As time goes by, the atmosphere of League gradually becomes more enthusiastic.
Everyone is looking forward to the new All-Star.
All players are also looking forward to this year's All-Star Weekend.
However, bad news came immediately on January 26.
DeMarcus Cousins, suffered an injury in the game against Rockets that night, Achilles tear.
The way things happened was also quite bizarre.
With the last 15 seconds left in the game, Cousins stepped on Free-Throw Line and hit a Free Throw, helping Daigo lead Rockets by 4 points. As expected, Daigo would win the game at home.
However, when Cousins missed the second free throw, his brain suddenly twitched and he jumped directly to the basket, trying to fight for Rebound. As a result, he used too much force and had problems with his left foot the moment he touched the ground.
Cousins fell directly to the ground, and then touched the position of the Achilles tendon of his left foot. The expression on his face was full of helplessness.
This is a huge injury that can ruin an athlete's career, and Cousins was no exception. He was reimbursed for the season and hit the bottom.
The management of Pelicans is obviously not very humane. The future of Cousins is worrying.
The next day, League announced that Paul·George replaced Cousins and entered All-Star Starting Lineup, and replaced by Al Horford, George's replacement Rotational Help, into All-Star.
On January 28th, Thunder played against Philadelphia 76ers, and Chen Xi made a comeback.
Thunder easily defeated Philadelphia 76ers and continued to maintain its momentum. Counting this game, after losing to Cavaliers, Thunder played against Nets, Wizards, Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers, winning three times and losing one.
During this period, we unfortunately lost to Wizards. Beal, who was driven wild, scored 38 points to lead the team to victory and won his Career Night.
As a result, Thunder had just defeated Thunder, and Wizards, who was so impressive, also had problems.
On January 30, Wizards officially announced that John Wall consulted with his knee specialist and finally decided to perform surgery on his left knee to "clear" the fluid accumulation in the area and relieve pain.
This is expected to cause him to miss 6-8 weeks of competition, and naturally he will miss All-Star.
So Adam·Silver named Andre·Drummond, which is Drummond, to replace Wall, All-Star replaced Rotational Help.
Just when people are lamenting that this year's All-Stars are in trouble.
On January 31, bad news came again.
With Pistons In First Quarter, Love was cut into the hand by an opponent's defensive player while receiving the ball under the basket. With 7 minutes and 19 seconds left in this quarter, Love was replaced. Initially, Love sat on the bench and received ice treatment on his hand. However, shortly afterwards, Love returned to the locker room accompanied by the team doctor and underwent an X-ray examination.
After examination, Cavaliers officially announced that Love suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal of his left hand and was expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks. Therefore, another player unfortunately withdrew from this year's All-Star.
Silver had to stand up again to increase his presence, and Dragic was named to replace Love as All-Star's substitute.
And, it's not over yet!!
On February 3, Brogdon partially tore the quadriceps tendon in his left leg and announced his withdrawal from All-Star Rookie Game, who was replaced by Torien Prince.
On February 7, Porzingis injured his left knee in the game against Bucks.
Knicks After inspection, the official announced that Porzingis has torn the Top Ten ligament in his left knee and will be retired early this season. As for the recovery time, it will not be confirmed until after surgery.
So his substitute seat of All-Star was replaced by Kemba Walker.
I don't know what Silver is feeling right now.
Return your attention to Thunder.
After defeating Philadelphia 76ers, Thunder faced off against four teams: Wizards, Nuggets, Pelicans, and Lakers, winning all four games.
Pistons, Philadelphia 76ers, and Thunder once again achieved six consecutive victories, returning to the third position of Western Conference.
The top ones are Rockets and Warriors.
February 6, Golden State Oracle Arena.
Thunder visits Warriors away from home.
For both sides, every confrontation between the two teams is very important. After all, the opponent has a great possibility of becoming the enemy of the own team Western Conference Finals.
The game starts soon.
McGee easily beat Little Sabonis, and Warriors attacked first.
Curry holds the ball to Frontcourt, passes the ball to Green, and then runs towards Baseline from the right.
Durant Lift up to catch the ball, turn around Face-Up Isolation Butler.
They are all old rivals, and they don't play any empty tricks. They just open up big when they come up, and they can eat all over the world with one move.
Warriors aims to let KD, who is full of energy, come up first and attack Thunder first, digging a big hole and gaining an advantage first.
Durant faced Butler, Between-the-Legs Crossover, who was very comfortable, broke through Crossover Step, rushed into Mid-range, changed hands and backed up and Mid-range took action.
Dang!
However, I don't know if it was due to Touch, but the first shot failed to hit.
Basketball popped out of the box, Westbrook jumped up high, took off the Backcourt board, then galloped forward, riding straight to the Warriors half.
Westbrook's exaggerated explosive power left Warriors in the dust. Even if Klay struggled to catch up behind him, it was still to no avail.
Single player Fast Break, Westbrook rushed all the way to the basket, jumped up and hit a two-handed dunk.
I gave Warriors the next Ma Wei. (a small homophone, skr~~)
