Chapter 480 (1/2)
October 24, 2012, just days before the start of the 12-13 season. After that, league officials announced that the NBA all star game will cancel the center position and change to three forwards.
The reason for this change is that more and more teams play small ball tactics, and the center is difficult to define, and now there are not many high-quality big men. Can you say that Garnett and Duncan, who often play number five, are forwards or centers? Bosh, who often plays number five, is a forward or a center? If they are forwards, where can the League find a center as good as them?
This rule does not only remove the center position when the fans vote, but also when the coaches of 30 teams vote.
As we all know, all stars are chosen by the fans. All star substitutes are voted by coaches of 30 teams. The coach can vote for seven of the candidates, according to the previous rules, the seven must include two defenders, two forwards and one center.
Now, coaches don't have to think about centers. Of the seven people they choose, they only need to include two defenders and three forwards.
In other words, a coach may choose two defenders, and the other five places will be given to forwards. There is no doubt that this greatly increases the possibility of the front court players, especially the number four players, to enter the all star game.
Zac Randolph, who happens to be on the all star backup list.
Randolph's last all star game was 10-11. Last season in the injury plagued by Randolph's serious decline, coupled with his own is no longer young, so many people think Randolph's career will start to decline.
As a result, most people have ignored Randolph's excellent this season.
However, as long as you pay attention to it, it is not difficult to find out what makes this fat man brilliant.
Last game, grizzlies 23 points victory magic, link roared 34 points 15 rebounds. But under link, Randolph had 18 points and 8 rebounds.
In the last game, the Grizzlies beat the Lakers by 13 points, and link scored 32 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. But Randolph had 17 points and 12 rebounds, which was better than Howard and Gasol combined.
Last season, Randolph's field average data are career new low. But this season, like Duncan, he has fallen instead of up. Field average 16.8 points, 11.2 rebounds, Randolph's data is not bad. He's definitely the grizzly bear's No. 2 threat besides link.
In an era of opportunities for the front court players, Randolph believes he can also be included in the all star squad.
Anthony chann's words on the talk show were not very popular, but Randolph made a comment. Well, the heat and team reporter is a solid fire.
Some people say that Qian en is talking nonsense. In the NBA, whether a team can win or not has nothing to do with the number of superstars.
Some people also support Qian en's view, saying that ”the single core led team model has long been out of date, and Nowitzki's Mavericks were the masterpiece of that era.”
However, some people also said, ”who gave the fat man confidence?”
Even Pau Gasol, who has proved himself impeccable in defense this year, didn't even say that he would definitely make the all star. Why was Randolph selected?
On the training ground the next day, Randolph said to reporters, ”I don't have to play in the all star game. I just don't want anyone to belittle us. We beat the heat this season, so we could beat them again in the playoffs! But since he wants to talk about it in terms of the number of All-Star players, I can only reply to him that way
Randolph was very serious. He didn't go out on the spur of the moment. This guy's love for Memphis and Grizzlies is beyond anyone else's understanding.
After all, it's a place to rejuvenate and regain respect.
So Randolph doesn't allow anyone else to disrespect Memphis and Grizzlies.
Think the Grizzlies have a small number of All-Star players? wait and see!
”Zach, we'll feed you for the next two games.” During training in the afternoon, link went to Randolph and chatted with the big black bear.
The list of reserve lineups for the NBA all star game was announced in February, and the last two days of January were also the last days of the voting deadline. In other words, Randolph has two more games to win for himself.
However, Randolph shook his head. ”You are the core of us, link. I should help you. We can fight as we like. I don't have to brush the data. If those coaches have eyes, I can be selected
Randolph is not very serious most of the time, but this fat man also has his mature place.
Link nodded, number two of the best team in the league. As Randolph said, if the coaches are not blind, they should vote for Randolph.
