On February 6, the SuperSonics defeated the Rockets 105-94 at home.
Olajuwon and Drexler performed well, but the SuperSonics scored 20 points.
The Rockets are just an ordinary strong team this season. With 30 wins and 18 losses, there is no problem in making the playoffs, but there is basically no hope of defending the championship.
The SuperSonics ended the first half of the game with the league's best record of 42 wins and 4 losses. On the same day, the Bulls lost to the Suns 96-106 and ranked first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league with 41 wins and 5 losses.
Today, almost all media predict that the two teams will stage a classic showdown in the finals this season.
The Sonics' offensive power is invincible, averaging 116.7 points per game. This is not an NBA historical record. The first in history is the Nuggets in the 1980-81 season, which averaged 126.5 points per game.
The Bulls have the highest defensive efficiency in NBA history, averaging 105 points per game, and are excellent both offensively and defensively.
It’s not surprising that the team’s record at the beginning of the season was outstanding. It is difficult for them to perform consistently and stably. For example, the Magic’s record in February has dropped to 34 wins and 13 losses.
Now people are surprised to find that there are two teams that have been performing steadily this season, which is the first time in history.
The SuperSonics are likely to break the NBA regular season record. The Bulls also have a chance. It just depends on which team performs better in the second half.
The Eastern and Western All-Star lineups have been announced, and the vote leader is Michael Jordan, who received a total of 1.35 million votes.
The starting five in the Western Conference: Payton, Yang Jian, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Olajuwon.
Seven substitutes: Shawn Kemp, Drexler, David Robinson, Mitch Richmond, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Dikembe Mutombo.
The starting five in the Eastern Conference: Anfernee Hardaway, Michael Jordan, Grant Hill, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O'Neal.
Yang Jian gained four more attribute points, all of which were obtained by changing player history. He added all the points to mental attributes, for a total of 45 points.
One point came from Grant Hill, whose exposure was allocated to Yang Jian. He had 350,000 fewer votes than in the parallel world, and just collected 1 million to enter the starting lineup.
Two points came from point guards Jason Kidd and Peyton. Kidd was not as popular as Peyton and did not enter the All-Star starting lineup, and the coach did not choose him when selecting substitutes.
In this era, point guards with more assists are more likely to receive high evaluations. Currently, Payton and Stockton are the top two in the assist list. Kidd averages 16.4 points, 7 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game. His statistics are very good, and his shooting percentage is very good.
Only 38.1%, which is obviously not as good as those two.
This is of course the butterfly effect caused by Yang Jian. Without him, Payton would not have been able to average 11.7 assists per game in the middle of the season.
Yang Jian received 1.301 million votes, ranking first in the Western Conference after Jordan. Payton also received 1.08 million votes, slightly better than Drexler's 1.035 million votes, and became an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.
Another point comes from the Spurs' swingman Sean Elliott. Yang Jian and Magic Johnson were selected to the All-Stars, so the Western Conference had to have two stars squeezed out of the lineup.
In a parallel world, Elliott has only been selected to the All-Star twice in his career, and now he has one less time.
Kemp's fate was also changed. He was supposed to be selected as an All-Star starter, but ended up being a substitute.
Magic Johnson has a bunch of personal honors, five championship rings, ran as a forward, and received 1.052 million votes. His popularity is slightly less than that of "Flying Pig" Barkley, beating Kemp who received 1.013 million votes.
Kemp did not become the starter, mainly because he could not compete with the other two forwards and had little to do with Yang Jian. It is worth mentioning that Karl Malone, the power forward with the best statistics, only received 894,000 votes, which is still unpopular.
.
In addition to the All-Star Game on Sunday, Yang Jian will also participate in the Rookie Challenge on Friday and the Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday, making him the busiest person during this All-Star Weekend.
This time the All-Star Weekend was held in San Antonio, the three Sonics packed their bags and went together. Payton brought his wife and children with him, while Yang Jian and Kemp went on the road alone.
Naomi Watts did not want to watch from the sidelines of the All-Star Game and flew to Los Angeles to audition. If the audition failed, she would return to Seattle.
Drew Barrymore flew to San Antonio to find Yang Jian. The filming of the movie "Everybody Says I Love You" has been completed. When Yang Jian is not attending events, he can stay in the hotel with her.
CCTV5 will broadcast the three-day All-Star Weekend games live. The Chinese Basketball Association specially sent officials to contact Yang Jian, preparing to talk to him about representing the national team in the Olympics in the summer.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, he just needs to sign a few names. The procedure for Yang Jian to join the national team is the simplest among all players. The people from the Basketball Association provide one-stop service. He only needs to be willing to join and play, and there is no need to worry about other things.
Yang Jian has only announced three international brand endorsements, and his annual income is worth over 100 million yuan when converted into RMB. With such a billionaire joining the Chinese men's basketball team, everyone in the basketball association feels a lot of pressure.
In the national team, Yang Jian is a big boss, and the staff must take good care of him. The Basketball Association cannot just say a few words and ask Yang Jian to serve the country like other players. He is a star that the Basketball Association has no control over.
Yang Jian has been on the News Network, and the country hopes that he can use part of the money to return to China to invest and help the country develop. If people from the Basketball Association do something to anger Yang Jian, causing him to develop in the United States and be unwilling to return to China or even change his nationality, it will offend Yang Jian.
Anyone who sees him will be in big trouble.
In this era, it is too common for Chinese celebrities to change their nationality. A group of people want to go abroad if they have the opportunity. There are countless examples of changing nationality to a foreign country and then coming back to make Chinese money.
Yang Jian was in a very relaxed mood and just came to have fun. He never thought about competing for the Rookie Game MVP and the All-Star Game MVP, and just winning the dunk king would be enough.
The rookie game mvp is of little significance. In the star game, it is impossible for the old players to collectively pass the ball to him as a newcomer. Only relying on his cooperation with Payton and Kemp, there is a chance but not a big one.
As soon as they left the airport, a staff member picked them up and took them to the arranged luxury hotel. Yang Jian contacted Barrymore and told her the room number, and she quickly found her.
"Why are you so sad? Did something happen to you?" Yang Jian asked. The two met once in three months. When they played against the Clippers in an away game, Yang Jian visited the crew.
"I just finished filming this movie, and I was asked to be the heroine in another movie. I felt that I had no future and didn't want to take it. But my agent suggested that I take the next one, because they found me because of the relationship." Barrymore took off his coat and lay on his back.
On the sofa.
"What movie?"
"The low-budget thriller "Scream."" Barrymore sighed: "The name sounds terrible."
Sure enough, it's this one. Yang Jian guessed that it was almost time to start filming. "Since someone else has decided that you will be the heroine, you can play it. It is easy for thrillers to get high box office, and the filming time is not long, right?"
Barrymore shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You don't understand. The producer of this film is a gangster, and I don't want to cooperate with him. Moreover, he asked me to be the protagonist for a purpose of easing the relationship."
"Who is the producer? What relationship is being eased?"
"Harvey Weinstein is a piece of trash. He previously harassed Gwyneth Paltrow, who like me is Stephen Spielberg's goddaughter. He is afraid that things will get bigger and Stephen will come forward.
She deliberately asked me to be the heroine to show her favor."
"..." Yang Jian was stunned.
What’s more, it’s Harvey Weinstein, who turned out to be the producer of “Scream.”
He thought for a while and said: "Since he definitely won't dare to do anything to you, if the salary is high, you can take the role. You would be really stupid if you turned down the heroine. It's not that simple for others to want to play the heroine. You don't
If he is willing to act, maybe he will sleep with a young actress and let her be the heroine."
Barrymore was silent for a moment and nodded. "You're right, I can prevent him from harming other people by acting. But I just feel disgusting that I have to help such a person make money."
Yang Jian smiled slightly. In the future, when Harvey felt sick, he was going to steal Harvey's scripts, not just one, but all promising films.
Harvey has a good eye for making small and medium-budget movies and has been nominated for many Oscars. In the future, the opportunities to make money and win awards will all belong to Huaer Pictures, which is quite cool to think about.
