On February 1, the SuperSonics beat the Bulls by 57 points 137-80 at home.

Even if Yang Jian wants to let loose on the defensive end, the Bulls have reached the limit of garbage and have the worst lineup in the league.

The Bulls players will not win at all, locking in the worst record in the regular season and the worst record in team history. They have only won 5 games since the start of the season. If they do not improve their winning rate in the future, their final regular season victory may not be achieved.

Two digits.

The Bulls only have power forward Elton Brand who has outstanding personal ability and can score points in isolation, and they don’t have a reliable teammate. Swingman Ron Mercer is the Bulls’ second-in-command, and a rebuilt Celtics team can’t

Unnecessary and inefficient brush.

At this time, Bulls center Brad Miller was with the SuperSonics, and small forward Artest was with the Raptors.

There are a group of people on the Bulls lineup that Yang Jian doesn't know. The only one who seems promising is the shooting guard Jamal Crawford, who is strong in offense and weak in defense. In a parallel world, Crawford is an overrated player, even at his peak.

It's nothing special. He has a gorgeous style of play, but his shooting percentage is pitifully low.

Therefore, he has been the sixth man for a long time. If he can't make the last shot, no matter how fancy he is, it will be useless.

Yang Jian only played 25 minutes before getting off work, and other main players were also replaced. Even if the SuperSonics sent a fringe player like Troy Hudson to partner with veteran Dell Curry on the outside, and reused Mark Blount on the inside, the Bulls

The team still couldn't beat it.

Blount played with confidence. In the final quarter, he made three mid-range shots, scored on two air cuts, and scored 10 points and 4 rebounds.

After defeating the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers, the SuperSonics ushered in the All-Star Weekend with a record of 48 wins and 4 losses.

Yang Jian's current statistics are 35.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 10 assists and 2.7 steals per game, leading the three statistical rankings. He is the only star in the league to receive more than 2 million votes, and once again topped the All-Star vote list.

However, no matter how many times he wins the vote, it is not a milestone. This honor is nothing to him, the fans will vote for him, knowing that he is the strongest.

Vince Carter was elected the Eastern Conference king with 1.77 million votes, and was more popular than Iverson with 1.5 million votes and O'Neal with 1.54 million votes.

Western Conference star starters: Yang Jian, Kobe Bryant, Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan.

O'Neal missed the All-Star Game due to injury, and Garnett started as a substitute. Due to the Kings' excellent record, Webb became an All-Star starter for the first time in his career, and received more votes than Duncan and Garnett.

Seven substitutes for the Western Conference: Payton, Jason Kidd, Ray Allen, Michael Finley, Rasheed Wallace, Karl Malone, Antonio McDyess.

Kings center Verratti Divac was not selected for the All-Star Game. In a parallel world, this was the only time he was selected for the All-Star Game, and he was dropped by Butterfly.

Kidd, Carter, and Divac provided a point.

Kidd was supposed to be the starter in the Western Conference, but Yang Jian pushed him out of the lineup. If it weren't for one more All-Star, Divac would not have been selected. O'Neal's absence is his best chance to be selected as an All-Star.

Carter has not won the All-Star vote because of Yang Jian. This is an important honor for him, even one of the most important honors in his career, because he has nothing else.

Carter has already negotiated an endorsement contract with Adidas, and the only thing he can impress is his popularity. Unfortunately, his popularity is not high enough, so the annual endorsement fee is 2 million lower than when he signed with Nike in the parallel world.

Eastern Conference starters: Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Sharif Abdul-Rahim, Theo Ratliff.

The most popular center in the Eastern Conference is Alonzo Mourning, who is out due to kidney disease. Fans putting him in the starting lineup is more of a blessing, wishing him an early victory over the disease and his return.

Grant Hill was reimbursed due to a serious injury, and his record of seven consecutive All-Star starts starting from his rookie game came to an abrupt end. The other two were lucky enough to enter the starting lineup.

Seven substitutes in the Eastern Conference: Glenn Robinson, Stephon Marbury, Sprewell, Alan Houston, Stackhouse, Antonio Davis, Mutombo.

The forgotten person is Bucks point guard Sam Cassell, who averaged 18.3 points and 7.5 assists per game and was unable to be selected as an All-Star substitute.

It is quite difficult to find a starting center in the Eastern Conference. Ratliff, who averaged 12.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 3.7 blocks per game, started purely because there is no one left.

In addition, there is a butterfly effect in that Ratliff did not suffer a serious injury that would end the season and participated in this All-Star Game.

If Ratliff is not injured, the 76ers who want to compete for the championship will definitely not be able to make a follow-up big deal. They will pack Kukoc and Ratliff from the Hawks in exchange for star center Mutombo.

The 28-year-old Ratliff is in his prime this year. If it is not forced, the 76ers management will not trade him for a veteran who may enter a period of decline at any time.

The Hawks were eager to send Mutombo away. In 1996, the Nuggets did not dare to offer Mutombo a high-paying long-term contract because they were not sure of his age. The Hawks would not renew his contract, thinking that they would definitely lose money.

This All-Star Weekend was held in Washington, and the Wizards had no star players selected.

Michael Jordan, who bought shares in the Wizards, is considering returning to play to stimulate the sports market. Because the owner promised that Jordan will give him a larger proportion of shares when he comes back to play and retires.

Jordan is a little hesitant. He is not sure whether he can attract fans or how many fans he can attract when he comes back. Unlike when he retired in 1993, it is no longer his era, and he is already 38 years old.

In a parallel world, the 2001 championship belonged to the "OK Combination" and the Lakers, but that season belonged to only one person - Allen Iverson!

Some people say that it was Iverson's great performance that made the 2001 All-Star Game the most intense, classic, passionate and soul-stirring All-Star Game in history.

Iverson also won the regular season MVP with the height of an ordinary person, making him the shortest MVP in NBA history.

Now, none of this happened.

People only remember Yang Jian, Britney Spears, and Linkin Park singing "Unstoppable" at halftime of the All-Star Game. And in the All-Star Game, the Eastern Team was beaten by the Western Team.

George Karl is the head coach of the Western Conference Stars this time and arranged tactics for Yang Jian. He can open up singles, or he can play pick-and-rolls with teammates on the outside to look for mismatch opportunities.

Yang Jian played a game-high 30 minutes, making 14 of 20 shots, 6 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 38 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.

A desperate reversal, blood sealing the throat?

Stop dreaming, no one in the Eastern Conference can guard Yang Jian alone. Coach Lanny Wilkens did not arrange double teams. Double-teaming one person in the All-Star Game is too much. Fans definitely don't want to see this.

The Eastern Conference cannot defend the pick-and-roll if they send center Mutombo. If they don't send in Mutombo, they cannot defend the Western Conference's interior attack. This is also an unsolvable problem.

Without O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett, and Webb, the inside lineup still has advantages. Duncan can cut the ball after the screen and hit the basket, but Ratliff suffers in the confrontation.

The other two are good at catching the ball and shooting from mid-range, opening up space for teammates on the outside, and they can also cooperate with Duncan in passing and inside.

When Kidd, Yang Jian, Kobe and Webber were on the court together, they even played a wonderful fast break. After a 15-2 climax in the third quarter, the Western Conference widened the point difference to 37 points at most.

Yang Jian performed a windmill alley-oop dunk and a 360-degree turn dunk in this quarter, which brought the atmosphere to its peak.

The unlucky Vince Carter was completely unmatched against Yang Jian in the All-Star Game, and his weaknesses were exposed.

Tracy McGrady and Yang Jian, who are good defensive players, performed even worse against each other. They played 21 minutes, made 1 of 4 shots, scored 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals, and made 4 turnovers.

In the end, the Western team won 142-111.

Iverson made 9 of 21 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. His statistics are not even better than Yang Jian, with a shooting percentage of only 42.9%.
