Time flies, and in the next period of time, the Thunder's running-in can be said to be more and more smooth.

The team also became unstoppable after entering January.

As of January 24, the Thunder's record has reached 39 wins and 6 losses, ranking first in the league with a very high winning rate without any suspense.

After entering January, the Thunder lost only one game in total, losing to the Heat led by "The Flash" Wade.

In that game, Wade was like a magic weapon falling from the sky. Even though Yang Fan made adjustments to the lineup and defense many times, Wade was always able to send the basketball into the basket in an incredible way.

Wade scored 49 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists throughout the game.

Faced with this situation, even if the entire Thunder team performed well, they eventually lost the game 4 points away.

In addition to this game, the Thunder was striving to advance all the way in January, basically killing gods and Buddhas.

Even the Celtics, who have the Big Four, can only win a defeat in front of the Thunder.

With the mid-season, the Thunder's current record can be said to be very outstanding. Under such circumstances, many fans from the outside world have begun to discuss it.

Whether the Thunder have a chance to break the 72-10 record this season was set by the Bulls.

Of course, most people are not optimistic that the Thunder can break this record, and even Yang Fan, as the head coach, does not intend to hit this record at all costs.

Even though this can be regarded as an honor that has been recorded in history, Yang Fan knew very well that it was not the time at the harsh price of losing the championship in his previous life.

And after January, Yang Fan not only recalled Danny Green and Beverly to the team, but also began to arrange players to take turns to prepare for the playoffs half a season ahead of schedule.

As Yang Fan formulated a rotation rest plan, basically one or two players will be on quit every game.

Even Kevin Durant, the star of the family, cannot avoid the arrangement of a truce without injury.

Because what Yang Fan has to do is to prevent all accidents and try to make the players reach an ideal personal state, and prepare to face the upcoming playoff journey without any injuries.

January 25.

As time comes to the end of January, the All-Star Weekend in the 2009-10 season is getting closer.

Today, the league announced the second round of the All-Star voting.

Among them, LeBron James of the Cavaliers and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers won the votes in the East and West respectively.

For the time being, we will take the lead with a relatively obvious advantage. Even if there will be two rounds of voting in the next step, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the position of the two people in the East and West ticket kings will be difficult to shake.

As for the title of the All-Stars' total vote leader this year, LeBron James is currently leading Kobe with a slight advantage and temporarily ascends to the throne of the vote leader.

In addition, the Thunder will hope that three players will be selected into the All-Star lineup at the same time this year, among which Kevin Durant's current vote can guarantee a firm starting position in the Western Conference.

The remaining Stephen Jackson and Antoine Jamison currently have similar votes. Although it is not yet certain, they also have a very good chance of being selected as the Western Conference All-Star substitute.

If Jackson, the "Martial Saint" this year, can be selected into the All-Star lineup, then this will be the first time Jackson has been selected into the All-Star in his career, lighting up a great honor in his career.

That's right, even though "Martial Saint" Jackson has performed well throughout his career, he can contribute 19.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season.

But Jackson's entire career was a little bit unlucky. With his outstanding performance in his personal data, the team's record was unsatisfactory.

And when the team's record is pretty good, my personal performance is not interesting.

So this leads to the fact that although the "Martial Saint" Jackson has strong personal abilities, he has never been selected into the All-Star lineup throughout his career.

If Stephen Jackson is finally shortlisted for the All-Star Game this year, it will be an unforgettable experience for both Martial Saint and head coach Yang Fan.

It is worth mentioning that because the Thunder's record is very outstanding this year, they are currently ranked first in the Western Conference without any suspense.

So as long as the Thunder does not lose continuously, Yang Fan will serve as the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Game this year.

Although the All-Stars are just having fun in most cases, even if they become head coaches, there is no substantial reward.

But for an NBA coach, being able to coach All-Star games can definitely be regarded as a great honor.

At least even if Yang Fan is unwilling to work overtime, he is happy to show off on occasions like All-Star Weekends.

After all, this can definitely be regarded as a large exposure channel. Even judging by Yang Fan's current situation, he does not need the media to hype...

February 7.

With all four rounds of voting on the All-Star Weekend, today the league finally confirmed the All-Star roster for the East and West.

Among them, LeBron James of the Cavaliers was successfully elected as the All-Star voter of this year with more than 2.5 million votes.

Following closely behind is Kobe from the Lakers, who eventually won more than 2.45 million votes.

Although it was a missed by the All-Star Ticket King, it is second to none in the entire West.

However, due to personal injury, Kobe has announced in advance that he will not play in this year's All-Star Game.

And this place will be replaced by Jason Kidd of the Mavericks.

According to Kobe, his index finger not only had fractures at both joints, but also had obvious swollen fingers, which were obviously thicker than other fingers.

So in this case, Kobe could only withstand the pain of quitting this year's All-Star Weekend and quietly act as a spectator on the sidelines.

In addition, "Yellow Mamba" Roy, who was selected as the Western Conference All-Star substitute, was also unable to play due to meniscus injuries.

In the end, the league will be replaced by Hamilton of the Thunder.

In this way, four players of the Thunder will be selected into the All-Star Game at the same time on this year's All-Star Weekend.

They are Kevin Durant, who will serve as the starting small forward, Stephen Jackson and Antoine Jamison, who will be selected as the substitute, and Hamilton, who will replace Roy as the All-Star substitute.

It has to be said that this situation is definitely beyond the expectations of head coach Yang Fan, because in Yang Fan's opinion, it is already a very rare thing for the Thunder to have three players selected as All-Stars.

And this still has the advantage of the team's outstanding record. Otherwise, judging by Stephen Jackson's personal performance, it should be selected, but it will definitely be a bit difficult for Antoine Jamison to be selected again.

It is worth mentioning that as Hamilton will replace Roy to play this year's All-Star Weekend, four of the 12-player list of the Western Conference All-Stars will be produced by the Thunder.

And the head coach who coaches the team is also the Thunder, which is definitely rare in the history of the entire NBA.

So Yang Fan, who originally just wanted to show his face in front of the TV, has become really interested in the All-Star Weekend so far...
Chapter completed!
