NBA: I am a master dealer

After defeating the Rockets, the Nets can be said to have sailed through thousands of mountains with ease, and their next schedule does not have any particularly big challenges.

After a day of rest, they met the Magic and defeated them 127:115 without much effort, continuing their winning streak.

The Magic have Griffin this season, and their offense has indeed improved qualitatively, but their defense is too weak, their interior rim protection is poor, and their overall offense is broken. This means that although they have made some achievements, they are not shocking enough.

After two days of rest, they will face the challenge of the Kings at home.

Not surprisingly, the Nets defeated the opponent 123:94.

Fox has indeed grown a lot, but he is still a young boy and has no ability to score consistently, which makes his motor-like speed go to waste.

倒是博格丹-博格达诺维奇展现出欧洲球员成熟的一面，19中9拿到了22分11助攻6篮板。

But this is far from enough, and they still have a long way to go in their reconstruction journey.

After defeating the Kings, they met the Magic again. There was still not much suspense, and the Nets defeated the opponent again with 124:110.

This is the end.

The Nets' winning streak reached 28 games, breaking the 12-game winning streak set by the Miami Heat in the 13-27 season and becoming a new winning streak record in history.

28 consecutive wins.

This is already quite remarkable. Throughout history, there are not many teams that can do this, except for the Lakers' crazy 33-game winning streak. This is the most terrifying and dominant team in modern basketball.

From this we can see that the Big Three during the Heat era were indeed extraordinary and not comparable to ordinary teams.

This also indirectly illustrates a problem. The Big Three in the Miami era was definitely one of the few super teams in history, even on the same level as the Warriors.

but.

Time passes.

The Nets broke this record, which fully demonstrates how terrifying the Nets are this season.

If Xue Liancheng had not been absent due to injury, the Nets' record this season would have been unimaginable and their dominance would have been undoubtedly revealed.

But the Nets did not stop.

After a day of rest, they easily beat their city rivals, the Knicks, 119:109 at home and continued their momentum.

This season, with the departure of James, the Knicks, including Ilyavaso, Crowder, Rooney and other main players, have also left for other places, forcing them to enter a rebuilding state this season, so it is natural that they keep losing.

After two days of rest, they defeated the Celtics again 124:112, extending their winning streak to 30 games.

It was at this time that people realized that the Nets were very likely to break the Lakers' winning streak.

Nets fans around the world are excited.

"Sabonis and Anunoby have indeed grown, alleviating a lot of pressure on Xue Liancheng, which is why the Nets have such a strong dominance this season."

This statistic can summarize everything about the Nets this season.

no doubt.

The Nets’ current achievements are definitely the result of the growth of Sabonis Jr. and Anunoby.

It was their all-star-level performance that made Xue Liancheng feel more and more relaxed. He often only needed to stand up at the decisive moment and take the opponent away in one wave.

This is a factor that other teams do not have.

This is also the reason why the Nets are so strong this season.

As long as the score can be maintained until the fourth quarter, the Nets will have an absolute advantage.

After all, Xue Liancheng can ensure that he will score 9 points in a row, which is scary enough in itself. With the same offensive firepower, you have no way to win.

Even if the Nets are slightly behind, Xue Liancheng's scoring explosiveness can help the team win a chance of survival.

And it was on this day that the All-Star starting lineup was announced.

First, the Eastern Conference: Antetokounmpo, Embiid, Anunoby, Xue Liancheng, and Oladipo.

Antetokounmpo averaged 27.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season, and the Bucks ranked in the top three in the Eastern Conference. There is no problem for him to be a starter in the All-Star Game.

Embiid has also been on a roll this season, averaging 27.7 points, 13.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and the digital man's record is also ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.

There is no doubt that Embiid has grown into the league's top center, and he is absolutely worthy of being named an All-Star starter.

Then there is Oladipo. His statistics have not improved significantly compared to last season, but his averages of 26.4 points, 6.6 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game are not in vain.

The most important thing is that the Pacers are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference. As the team's star player, Oladipo's selection as a starter is also impeccable.

There is no need to mention Xue Liancheng, a historical superstar. His statistics this season are still explosive, averaging 32+17 per game. No matter which year he is, he is always at the dominant level.

In addition, the Nets have won 30 games in a row and are the craziest team in the league. His selection is a recognition of the All-Star event.

On the contrary, if he is not selected, it would mean that the All-Star title is not worthy of its reputation and is not convincing at all.

As for the last spot, Anunoby, it all depends on the Nets' terrifying dominance.

At the end of the season, the team has 46 wins and 5 losses, which is truly an unprecedented record. They are likely to break the 72 wins and 10 losses of the Bulls and Warriors when Jordan led them.

This is Anunoby's confidence.

In addition, his statistics have already reached the All-Star level, and his role on the defensive end is becoming increasingly stronger, which makes him an All-Star starter.

of course.

Most importantly, the love that Dragon Country fans gave to Anunobi extended to his All-Star starting lineup.

The situation in the West is equally clear: Curry, Harden, Leonard, Durant, and James.

It brings together the most famous superstars today, and it is definitely worthy of the title.

First of all, Curry averaged 27.4 points, 5.4 assists and 592 rebounds per game, which is indeed dazzling enough.

The Warriors lead the Western Conference and are the boss of the West.

Next is Harden, who averages 35.8 points, 7.6 assists and 6.8 rebounds this season. These statistics are absolutely explosive. Although the Rockets' performance has dropped a lot, they are still fourth in the Western Conference. Their strength should not be underestimated, and there is no doubt that he will be selected as an All-Star starter.

Leonard's averages of 27.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game are also among the top ranks. The Spurs' record has declined, but they are still the fifth in the Western Conference, so there is no problem for him to start in the All-Star Game.

Durant's stats are still impressive at 26.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6 assists. The Warriors are first in the Western Conference, so there won't be much controversy about the two's selection.

In the end, James averaged 28.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, and is still one of the top players in the league. The Lakers ranked third, but their competitiveness is very strong.

This All-Star lineup is still worth watching.

The eastern part is all Cenozoic.

The western part is full of old hands.

It gives people a very sharp sense of contrast.

But the fans voted with their feet, thinking that if the Eastern Conference lineup and the Western Conference lineup were to play against each other, the Eastern Conference would be beaten to pieces. They are always willing to use fame to measure the true strength of both sides.

But it is not actually like that. Embiid and Antetokounmpo in the Eastern Conference are enough to make people doubt their lives in the frontcourt.

Antetokounmpo's impact is not weaker than James, and he is definitely a perfect match with Xue Liancheng.

Although Embiid has been criticized, he averages 27+13 per game. It is obviously an insult to him to say that he is a bad player. Calling him a power forward is just a subjective view.

A center who consistently scores nearly 30+10 and leads the Digital Man team to dominate the Eastern Conference all year round and evolve into a true powerhouse, and you say he is bad?
This is naked contempt.

As a representative of 3D, Anunoby's defense and catching rebounds are the best in the league, otherwise he would not be able to average 20+ points per game.

Not to mention Oladipo, who is recognized as the top shooting guard in the league. The Pacers have made all-round reinforcements this season, coupled with Ingram's growth, it is normal that Oladipo's scoring data has not increased.

But with Oladipo's current ability, he will be extremely competitive in any team.

Add Xue Liancheng to the mix, is this a bad lineup?

The answer is obvious, not bad at all.

They can be said to have the ability to shoot three-pointers, strong attacks, space, breakthroughs, low post, and their tactical coordination is definitely top-notch in the league. In the real game against the Western Conference, the result will definitely not be as the fans claim.

And the game continues.

The Nets easily defeated the Bulls 122:107 in a back-to-back game, winning another victory.

Three days later, the Nets defeated the Spurs 134:117 on the road, and were very close to breaking the winning streak record.

32 consecutive wins, only one game left to tie the Lakers' 33 consecutive wins.

Among them, the All-Star substitutes were also announced.

Eastern Conference substitutes: Middleton, Sabonis Jr., Walker, Lowry, Ben Simmons, George, Porzingis.

Needless to say, Middleton is in the top three of the Bucks in the Eastern Conference, so it is normal for two of them to be selected. In addition, with Middleton's fighting power and his ability to win at critical moments, he does have the strength of an All-Star.

Sabonis Jr. has played at the league's top inside level this season, averaging 18.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. With such statistics, coupled with the Nets' best performance in the league, there would not be much objection to him getting an All-Star berth.

Walker has reached his peak this season, averaging 25.6 points per game, a season high. Although the Hornets' record is not satisfactory, they are close to the playoffs and can barely get an All-Star spot.

Then there is Lowry. As the star player of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference, his statistics this season are still good, averaging 19.2 points, 7.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game, and he also has the strength of an All-Star.

Ben Simmons is the second-in-command of the numbers guys. His statistics are not particularly outstanding, but he is versatile enough, which is his unique asset.

Then there is George and Porzingis. There is also no big controversy about their selection. As a top four team in the Eastern Conference, the Heat are definitely qualified to get two All-Star spots, and the data of George and Porzingis are also sufficient.

There are also many missed players in the Eastern Conference, such as Beal, Griffin, and Vucevic, who actually have a chance to be selected, but the number of places is really limited.

In the West, the competition is even more intense.

Davis, Jokic, Lillard, Westbrook, Towns, Mitchell, Thompson.

As the top power forward in active service, Davis has teamed up with James to bring the Lakers to this level, so it is reasonable for him to get an All-Star spot.

With the rise of the Nuggets this season, Jokic finally came into the public eye and has absolute All-Star strength.

Lillard is the Trail Blazers' star player, so it's only natural for him to get a spot.

The Thunder has been seriously weak this season, but Westbrook can still put up nice stats and is very comprehensive, but that's all. Their Big Three seem a bit outdated.

Towns averaged 24.5 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season, showing some signs of being a top inside player, but the Timberwolves' record was not very satisfactory, and his selection to the All-Star game was a bit of a stretch.

Mitchell is the Jazz's star player. As a rookie last season, his performance was eye-catching. He already has All-Star potential, but his experience is still lacking, so he made up for it this season.

Thompson's selection was a bit unexpected, but it also seemed reasonable. After all, he averaged 20+ points per game and had the best record in the Western Conference. Other guards might not be able to compete with him.

The West has a lot of hidden gems.

Gobert, CJ McCollum, Aldridge, Booker who averages 26+ points per game, Paul, Louis Williams, Doncic and a large number of other stars are queuing up for All-Star spots.

It is undoubtedly a pity that they were not selected.

But there are only so many spots available, and they simply cannot compete with the stars who have already made it to the All-Star Game. It's just that tragic.

This is the Wild West.

of course.

However, many people understand it like this: You will never be able to break out in the East, because Xue Liancheng is that mountain that is difficult for you to cross.

A very obvious example is that James was beaten away, which is the consensus of everyone.

After so many years in the East, I've been beaten to a pulp and still can't make it over. I have no choice but to go to the West and give it a try. Maybe it will work?

After all, with so many demons at play, you can't be sure who the biggest winner is. Even a team as powerful as the Warriors had the courage to resist, but when facing Xue Liancheng's Nets, they unconsciously felt inferior.

This is the naked reality.

This is also the reason why there is a shortage of stars in the Eastern Conference, or why the quality of the stars is low.

It's really hard to compete, and going to the East is basically a dead end.

James is the biggest proof.

In other words, can you be better than James?

Therefore, generally speaking, stars who are a little ambitious are still quite resistant to the Eastern Conference.

Leonard has publicly stated that if he were to be traded, he would like to stay in the West.

It is conceivable how afraid everyone is of Xue Liancheng.

The Nets' current record is also a good proof.

After three days of rest, they defeated the Magic again 119:102 on the road, successfully tying the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

The Nets led by Xue Liancheng once again went down in history.

However, standing at the crossroads of history, they once again faced challenges.

They will face the Milwaukee Bucks at the Barclays Center.

With the Pacers losing and the Bucks winning, the Bucks have moved up from third to second.

They definitely have the potential to become a stumbling block for the Nets to break their winning streak.

But the Nets are definitely not weak. After all, the game has come to this point, who else can they be weak against?

The only obstacle is psychological pressure, which may have a certain impact on them.

But no matter what, the Nets have a Big Three lineup this season, and on paper, they are still stronger than the Bucks. (End of this chapter)
