Chapter 328: Prelude to a new era

　　 The NBA All-Star Game ended in Atlanta. This game is the last All-Star Game that Jordan participated in. The biggest attraction for Chinese fans is the Chinese Derby, where two Chinese players Shen Tong and Yao Ming participated in the All-Star Game at the same time.
　　 CCTV broadcasted the game, and the double tie combination was responsible for the commentary of the game.
　　 In the process of broadcasting the game, Zhang Weiping and Zhang also made a lot of good words.
　　For example:
I think today’s game is different from the others mainly in the following two points: First, this is the first time in the 52-year history of the NBA that two Chinese players represent different star teams to participate in the All-Star game. It is even more commendable. Yes, after Shen Tong became the starter of the Eastern Stars last year as a rookie, Yao Ming also became the starter of the Western Stars as a rookie. I think this is a symbol of Chinese basketball going to the world, and it can also be said to be a symbol of NBA going to the world.
　　 This time we met reporters from various media in Atlanta. The first words they saw me were not "Yao, Yao, Yao" but "Shen, Shen, Shen". I also talked about it during the broadcast today, and both Shen Tong and Yao Ming left a very affinity impression.
　　 It may be that the United States does not really know much about China, but the appearance of Shentong and Yao Ming has given everyone a new image.
Today I ran into a local American reporter at the hotel where I was staying. He expressed to me his love for Shentong and Yao Ming, saying: "It is understandable that you Chinese like Shentong and Yao Ming, but you can’t imagine how much we Americans like them. both."
　　 He said that these two players not only have good skills, but also have good personalities.
Just now a commentator from Puerto Rico said to me: "I interviewed Shentong last year and Yao Ming this year. They are different from other players. Others always seem very arrogant, but they both get along with everyone. Very harmonious and very healthy image."
　　 Aside from today's game data, although Yao Ming didn't play much time and his performance was not as bright as Shen Tong, the overall image they left to people is the most important.
　　 Before many American coaches talked about Shen Tong and Yao Ming, their knowledge of Chinese sports was mostly small players, with average impact and explosive power. Sports like gymnastics, table tennis, and diving are the Chinese's specialty.
　　 However, the appearance of Shentong and Yao Ming changed their views on Chinese sports.
　　 Shin won the championship in yesterday's slam dunk contest. This is the first slam dunk champion of the yellow race in the league.
　　 Moreover, China also has giants, and they are not stupid ones, they are very flexible and talented giants.
　　 Jordan’s exit marked the end of an era.
　　 With the influx of Chinese players and even the world's top players, the prelude to the new era of the NBA will slowly be opened.
　　......
　　 After the All-Star Game, the battle for tickets to the playoffs officially began. All teams gradually adjusted their status and devoted themselves to every game.
　　Who can be the leader in the post-Jordan era is to inspire the fighting spirit and courage of the next generation of young stars to continuously climb the peak.
The New Jersey Nets have entered a fully armed state, attacking Shentong, Martin, Jefferson, defending Mutombo, Ewing, and Kidd sitting firmly in the center and controlling the overall situation. This Nets team has experienced After the dormancy last season, this season has become more mature, and Byron Scott's on-the-spot dispatch is even more familiar and easy to use.
　　 In the second half of the regular season schedule, the Nets did not give the Pistons and Pacers any hope of overtaking, firmly occupying the top spot in the Eastern Conference and keeping the lead to the end.
　　 61 wins and 21 losses, the Nets beat the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks in the West with a slight advantage in a win, becoming the league's top team in the regular season this season.
　　 The Spurs and the Mavericks in the West have both scored 60 wins and 22 losses. It is only because of the divisions in the division and the battle against each other that the Mavericks can only rank third in the West.
　　 59 wins and 23 losses, the Kings unfortunately and fortunately ranked second in the West.
　　 No one can win the title of the second in the millennium. Last season, he was crushed by the Lakers and this season by the Spurs. In fact, even without the Spurs, the Mavericks have the upper hand in record.
　　 The stamina of the Kings is still slightly inadequate, and they lack super scorers like Kobe or Duncan when they play key shots.
　　 Webber is good, but his key ball ability still has a clear gap with Kobe and Duncan.
　　 It is worth mentioning that the Los Angeles Lakers, the defending champions of the Western Conference this season, ranked fifth in the Western Conference with only 50 wins and 32 losses, behind the 51-win Minnesota Timberwolves.
　　 The Portland Trail Blazers finished sixth with the same record.
　　 The fierce competition in the west is evident.
　　 The Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns ranked seventh and eighth in the West with 47 wins and 35 losses and 44 wins and 38 losses, respectively.
　　 It is regrettable to Chinese fans that the Houston Rockets, played by Yao Ming, ranked ninth in the Western Conference with 43 wins and 39 losses and a slight disadvantage of one win, and lost a playoff spot.
　　 After watching the trembling west, let us return to the east.
　　 Behind the dominating Nets are the two most threatening teams in the East.
　　 The Detroit Pistons ranked second in the East with 50 wins and 32 losses, and the Indiana Pacers ranked third in the East with 48 wins and 34 losses.
Yes, you are not mistaken.
　　 The distance between the Pistons and the Pacers and the Nets is as big as anything-the distance between Kardashian's legs.
　　 If these two teams have a record in the West, they won't even be able to make the top six.
　　 The Philadelphia 76ers started their efforts in the late game. After a series of trades, Iverson led the team to win consecutive games and eventually rushed to the fourth place in the East.
　　The fifth to eighth teams are the Charlotte Hornets, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic.
　　After the Magic lost Grant Hill, their record gradually weakened.
　　 Although McGrady's performance is very brave, it seems that his personal performance does not directly affect the team's victory.
Or McGrady could hardly sing alone and could hardly rely on the strength of one person to prop up the sky and the burden of Orlando~EbookFREE.me~ After getting into the playoffs by luck, McGrady once said very tired when facing media interviews: "I Too tired. I need help and partners. I hope the team can find a big man, as long as he averages 15 points, 7 or 8 rebounds per game."
　　 Yao Ming:?
　　......
　　 The Washington Wizards, where Jordan played, unfortunately ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. Fans could not see Jordan in the playoffs.
　　 The Toronto Raptors, where Carter played, simply gave up this season due to general Vince Carter’s injury, and finally only won the second-to-last result in the Eastern Conference, just ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers who could not be more miserable.
　　......
　　 In this way, the East and West playoff games are officially released.
　　 The east side.
　　 The Nets played by Shentong will face a challenge from the Magic led by McGrady in the first round.
　　 The Pistons play against the Bucks, the Pacers play against the Celtics, and the 76ers play against the Hornets.
　　Western side.
　　 The Spurs will face the Suns, and the Lakers will challenge the Timberwolves without home court advantage.
　　 The Mavericks sit at home and wait for the Trail Blazers, while the Kings will face the old Jazz.
