Generally speaking, the All-Star Game is a feast of carnival, not only for fans, but also for players.

The victory or defeat of the All-Star Competition is not very important, and many stars will try to avoid too much playing time in order to save energy in the second half of the regular season. For example, Duncan, who was selected as the All-Star for nine consecutive years, may not be as good as his playing time in the two games in the regular season.

Winning and losing are irrelevant, what is important is performance, so there is a hidden rule for the All-Star Game, that is, everyone plays for the first three quarters and acts seriously in the fourth quarter. This is not for the sake of winning or losing, but for grabbing the MVP. After all, the All-Star MVP will only give the winning side.

The three giants of the Celtics only performed together in the first quarter of the opening, and then Rivers replaced the three and gave Wade, LeBron, and Bosh the full opportunity to perform, and they had the most playing time.

I don't know why I praise Rivers for being a good person. Look, what a selfless head coach he is. But people who are familiar with the unspoken rules of NBA will grit their teeth and scold Rivers for being shameless. This guy is training LeBron and Wade to death. In order to reduce the threat of his opponent, he will do everything he can!

Originally, Rivers planned to send the three giants to the field to play seriously in the fourth quarter, grab points, strengthen defense, and then win. Now the saying "Western and weak in the east" is popular in the outside world. Rivers doesn't like to listen to this kind of words. Why is our East weak? Isn't it said that our East weak? Okay, then I will lead the team to kill you and let you see who is stronger and who is weak.

As a result, if you can't use the fourth quarter, the three giants will have to make the appearance in the second half of the third quarter. The Western Conference's offensive was too fierce, which made the Eastern Conference stunned. If you continue to wait until the fourth quarter to act seriously, then you will be really good at it and you will enter garbage time in advance.

Rivers' lineup was changed very quickly, but it still couldn't stop the decline in the East. In the end, both sides used their real skills to start a real battle. As a result, by the end of the game, the Western Conference still won the game with 140:132.

In the last minute of the fourth quarter, the Eastern Conference even used foul tactics. Barkley and Smith in the commentary seat were excited to watch. The former said that this was the most exciting All-Star game in five years. It used to be called a street basketball game, which was not the same as today's real-life decisive battle.

At the end of the game, Chamberlain grinned. He played in the game for 22 minutes and scored 10 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks. This result was also good, but Billups had 32 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds. His score was the highest in the West and the most assists in the West. If he didn't get MVP, would there be any reason?

Sure enough, under the unwilling gaze of New Orleans fans, Stern announced the end of the All-Star MVP trophy, and the All-Star MVP trophy belongs to Billups.

Paul also scored 20 points and scored 9 assists, and performed well, but his data was still much worse than Billups's.

If Chamberlain passed almost every rebound of his to Billups instead of Paul, then if the two defenders were to switch positions, the MVP should actually belong to Paul.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Hornets fans hate Chamberlain and Billups. In their opinion, these two guys snatched their MVP. Otherwise, if Paul got the MVP, what a wonderful story would be.

What Hornet fans didn't see is that if Chamberlain and Billups were not so hard to attack and defend and did not pay so much, then the Eastern Army would probably win today, so Paul wouldn't even win, let alone MVP.

The little emperor James scored a game-high 38 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists today. It was a pity that he failed to win MVP with such a result. Today, the little emperor also came for MVP, although he had already received this honor two years ago.

Stern took the amvp trophy handed over by his assistant and reluctantly said, "This year's All-Star Game is a defender Changcey Billups from Golden State Warriors." He reluctantly handed the trophy to Billups and reluctantly gave up his position to speak.

In order to consider the commercialization of NBA, Stern urgently needs to create a new national idol after Jordan leaves. The best candidate was Kobe, but the latter was too arrogant and narrow-minded, and even forced his good brother O'Neal away. In addition, the Eagle County incident broke out. Now his image is really bad, so he can only choose another candidate.

The other candidate is naturally LeBron James. Stern treats this kid as his godson and has started to build various momentum since before the draft. After entering the NBA, Stern gives the little emperor a green light in all aspects, such as six-step layups, and various star whistles, and is determined to praise the little emperor as the successor of the Flying Emperor.

In this All-Star Game, Stern hopes to see the Eastern Conference win and then the little emperor wins the MVP trophy. Unfortunately, the sky is worse than the personnel. Chamberlain cooperates with Billups and actually snatched the trophy. Can he not get angry?

However, when it comes to Chamberlain, Stern has other plans. If Chamberlain snatched the award, Stern would not be angry. He now wants to win a super potential as the number one in the league, and Chamberlain has the qualifications.

The reason why Stern chose the Little Emperor as the number one in the league was because he was attracted by his physical fitness, football business, talent and ambition. As a result, there is now a person who is not inferior to the Little Emperor in these aspects. How can he not be moved?

Fans all think that the little emperor has excellent physical talent. In fact, senior experts know that the little emperor is indeed strong, has sufficient explosive power, and has strong endurance. But when it comes to physical fitness, he cannot be considered terrifying. The one who can really say that his physical fitness is Chamberlain!

Having strength, being able to run and jump is certainly helpful for playing basketball, but not that is enough, especially for some techniques.

For example, with the power of the little emperor, why didn’t he go to the inside to play back? I believe that if he uses his back to play, no outside line in the league has the ability to defend him. Not to mention that the little emperor cannot learn, his talent is so outstanding and ambitious, and he will not learn to play back to play singles?

Besides, the easy and efficient scoring of back-to-back singles is much higher than the current step layup. Then why doesn’t he play back? No? You can learn it. I haven’t learned back-to-back after playing for so many years? It’s impossible. In fact, the real reason is that his body does not allow it.

The little emperor's upper and lower limbs have developed muscles, which ensures his excellent bounce and stable attacks. However, in comparison, his muscles on his waist, abdomen and back are relatively weaker. In this regard, Jordan and Kobe both surpassed him countless times.

The most critical technical moves of back-playing are to shake people and turn around. Without strong waist, abdomen and back muscles, it is difficult to make high-quality turn movements. After turning, the back jump shot or leaning against the opponent's player and turning to the basket to shoot, the requirements for waist and abdomen strength will be even higher. This is where the little emperor is inferior to Jordan and Kobe.

With perfect upper and lower limb strength, but no matching waist and abdomen strength, it is the so-called insufficient physical coordination. In fact, for a basketball player, coordination is the most critical physical fitness. Inadequate coordination leads to the relatively single attack method of the young emperor, which is basically a breakthrough layup, and often walks due to insufficient physical coordination. In addition, he has developed an emergency stop jump shot, but it is also due to coordination. If he cannot squeeze out his opponent, his hit rate will be very bad when facing the opponent's squeeze defense.

In terms of ability, the most criticized thing about the Little Emperor is that he has too much time to hold the ball, which seriously takes up the team's time to control the ball. Why can't this problem be solved? Is it because my teammates can't do it, and he has to control the ball? The Cavaliers' configuration cannot be said to be top-notch, but it is definitely a first-class level in the league.

Because of his excellent organizational skills? In fact, I have not seen any extraordinary organizational skills so far. At most, I can only say that I can pass the ball. If you give an NBA player above the level enough time to control the ball, he can still have 10 assists per game, but this is harmful to the team.

Then why can the Cavaliers allow the little emperor to control the ball for such a long time? It's very simple. If you don't give him time to hold the ball, the little emperor will not be able to exert his power.

His physical coordination determines that he is not capable of being an open-shot player and not being able to make high-quality basket movements. His physical fitness determines that he can only be an excellent player holding the ball and attacking the ball.

But his ball control ability is average, he can't control the ball, and he only has speed, and his breakthrough ability is of course greatly affected. Therefore, he cannot complete the offensive action in a short time after receiving the ball. He must hold the ball and wait for his teammates to open up space or find opportunities by himself. This naturally requires a lot of time to be consumed. This directly leads to the stagnation of the team's offense, one person plays, and four people watch the situation.

In addition, fans all think that the little emperor has good jumping, strong gliding ability, and terrifying air stagnation. In fact, for the little emperor's excellent bounce height, his stagnation air can only be said to be poor.

The ability to stagnate the air is not only measured by the stagnate time. According to the principles of physics, the higher the jump, the longer the time it takes in the air. Therefore, the emperor with an excellent bounce height has no doubt about the time it takes to stagnate the air.

But the key to the ability to stagnate the air is what kind of movements can be completed in this short stagnation time. From this point of view, it is difficult for you to see what dodge movements the emperor makes in the air. Why can Jordan make various terrifying air dodge movements? Because he has strong physical coordination, he can freely control every muscle of his body while his feet are flying into the air, and can change the center of gravity of the body to achieve a longer stagnation time. But the emperor is not capable of it, the reason is that the coordination is poor.

Chamberlain's coordination and body flexibility are much stronger, which is one of the reasons why he can grab so many rebounds.

The little emperor can rely on strength, speed and bounce to make terrifying body-chasing and blocking shots, but when defending closely, what he really needs to rely on is the coordination of his body. Players with good coordination and physical muscles can form very high-speed reflection abilities.

Faced with the shaking of offensive players, no one can escape the natural laws of conditioned reflexes, and the body will definitely reflect naturally. However, players with good coordination rely on their fast reflexes to change their movements in a very short time. The main functions of this are the back muscles and waist and abdominal muscles.

The emperor, who only has strong upper and lower limb muscles, has a longer time to reflect this muscle, and often keeps up with his footsteps, but his body has not turned around yet. Although he can use the advantage of speed to recover this time difference, if he encounters a player with high speed, this advantage is offset, and then he can only be passed.

If you look at Wade's shot of the little emperor, you will understand that compared with defensive masters with extremely excellent physical fitness like Pipen and Jordan, the little emperor's defense is much behind in terms of physical fitness. What's more, there is at least one level of gap in defense awareness, so Stern chose him as Jordan's successor, which was a helpless move.

Stern knew all this. He knew that the little emperor had a strong dominance, but he was definitely not as strong as Jordan, and he was definitely not as strong as equipped with a similar second-in-command to lead the team to win three consecutive championships. But there was no way. The little emperor was the best choice before, but after this All-Star Game, Stern saw a better choice.
