Until the last day of the All-Stars, the discussions about the dunk contest were still very popular, especially Swift's last two dunks in the finals, which shocked the fans' scalp.

At the same time, this dunk contest took only a short period of time and was unanimously recognized by the outside world as the most valuable contest in the NBA ever.

Even though the "half-man and half-god" are the ceiling in terms of dunks, Swift's performance this year is really too dazzling.

If Yao Ming, who is two meters tall, can still find that many people can complete this action through leveraging the force, then Swift's first dunk in the final was simply amazing.

Let’s not talk about how difficult this dunk is, from the viewing point of view, Swift’s dunk simply made the scene explode.

After all, no one has ever tried this dunk before, and the ornamentality and creativity of this ball are the best in NBA history.

This year's slam dunk contest also attracted countless fans in the short term. Swift's popularity has increased several times compared to before participating in the slam dunk contest.

There are even professional dunks online that have begun to imitate Swift's dunk moves, but while the success rate cannot be guaranteed, the videos posted by others online cannot be compared with Swift.

You know, Swift's dunk had stretched his legs into a straight line in the air. With Swift's explosive figure, Swift's dunk visually was simply shocking.

Even Luke didn't expect that Swift could do this action so perfectly. Compared with the founder Aaron Gordon, it was difficult for Luke to distinguish between the top and bottom.

Gordon's dunk seemed to have smoother movements, and the whole set of movements was basically flawless, while Swift's dunk seemed more explosive, as if the sleeping beast in his body was gradually awakening at this moment.

In terms of first glance, Swift must be above Aaron Gordon, but if more details are shown through replay, Gordon is still one of the strongest dunkers in the NBA ever.

………

The All-Star Game will be staged on the last day of the All-Star Game, but while all the fans have been waiting for it for a long time, Luke did not even come to the scene.

This year's Western Conference All-Star Head Coach is "Zen Master" Jackson, and the relationship between Luke and Jackson has been tense for nearly two years.

Although Jackson could not openly hold prejudice against Grizzlies players in the All-Star Game, Luke didn't have to think about it and knew that the three Grizzlies would definitely not perform well on this year's All-Star Weekend.

After all, no one knows this thing about Phil Jackson being petty and Luke better than Luke. When Jackson will serve as the Western Conference All-Star coach, Kobe's chances of winning the AMVP this year are huge.

Even Paul, as the host, may not be able to surpass Kobe.

At least the Grizzlies can only be regarded as a foil this year. Even Paul Gasol, who was selected as the All-Star starter, will find it difficult to get too many opportunities to play under the Zen master.

Especially the "Zen Master" Jackson had the opportunity to coach Paul Gasol this summer, but was blocked by Luke, who had come out of the way, which made Jackson start to resent Gasol.

In this case, it's a hell for Gasol to perform well. It's already generous to make Gasol's playing time higher than the bench Duncan and Nowitzki.

This is true. The Grizzlies' three players got very few mobile phones on the offensive end throughout the game.

Paul Gasol, as the starter of the Western Conference, is not as good as Duncan.

However, what Luke did not expect was that the West actually lost to the East this year.

This also led to Kobe, who scored 36 points in the game, missed the All-Star MVP. Phil Jackson did all the game, but he didn't count that the West actually failed in the game, and eventually made a wedding dress for Howard, who won the AMVP.

In the whole game, Howard scored 24 points, 16 rebounds and 2 blocks on 12 of 14 shots in the inside, winning the All-Star MVP for the first time in his career, making Jackson and Kobe on the sidelines look a little dark.

After all, the West has always been in the lead in the first three quarters, and at most it even led the Eastern Conference All-Stars by 21 points. As a result, the West, which had been ahead of the entire game, collapsed in the fourth quarter.

I could only watch the MVP that was about to be won by Howard. This feeling made Jackson feel a little crying.

The All-Star episode made Luke feel good. Although the Grizzlies didn't get much chance to perform under Jackson, Jackson failed to do it in the end. Even Luke was very pleased with his eyes when he looked at Howard.

As for the account of being petty, Luke will naturally write it in his notebook. When the Grizzlies fight against the Lakers next time, Luke must let Jackson know what cruelty is.

………

After the All-Star Weekend, each team will enter the sprint stage at the end of the season.

Teams hovering outside the playoffs should make good use of this period to try to attack the playoffs as much as possible.

Teams on the edge of the playoffs must also play every game well to avoid being overtaken by the team behind them, thereby achieving a fall behind in the final stage.

As for the Grizzlies temporarily rank first in the league, the team has more than 20 games to play next. Luke must ensure that players can get more rest before the playoffs come, but also ensure that the Grizzlies can firmly sit first in the league.

Otherwise, once the Celtics behind him are overtaken by the end of the season, Luke's fantasy of the second best coach in his career will most likely be shattered.

After three years in the league, Luke has never been a coach who takes his regular season record too much.

Compared to winning two more games in the regular season, Luke hopes that players can get a good rest so that they can perform stably in the playoffs and launch a smooth attack on the championship.

However, this year is obviously a bit special. The Celtics' offensive momentum in the Eastern Conference is too fierce. With the second COY in his career, Luke has to pay more attention to the regular season ranking.

After all, last year, the Grizzlies and the Celtics ranked last in the league and second to last in the league.

For every extra win in the regular season, Luke is further away from the best coach.

The Best Coach is no better than the regular season MVP. I missed this opportunity. Luke didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month next time.

And if he really lost to that guy Rivers in the Best Coach selection, Luke would inevitably be in a state of disagreement.

If he lost to legendary coaches such as Old Nelson and Jerry Sloan, Luke would probably feel more comfortable, but if he lost to a chicken soup coach like Rivers, Luke would think he was fucked.

Not to mention anything else, Du Feng dares to say something like this luxury lineup of the Celtics this season when coaching, "I can do it too!"

The first opponent that the Grizzlies meets after the All-Stars is very poor, and it is the Supersonics led by first-year rookie Du Xiaoshuai.

Currently, under the leadership of Durant, the Supersonics ranks last in the West and second to last in the league.

Although first-year rookie Durant averaged 20 points per game, the overall strength of the Supersonics is too much.

Except for Durant and Jeff Green, the rest of the team were not good enough, and even gave it to Luke for nothing, Luke thought he was in possession of the team.

Don't ask who is the last team in the league this season. Just to make the Miami Heat, who is crazy all the way to make a bad move.

"The Godly Practitioner" Riley is definitely a ruthless person in team reform. After sending away the "Shark" O'Neal in the offseason, Riley resolutely carried out the bad performance when the team still has many outstanding players such as Wade.

Currently playing 2/3 of the season, the Heat have only won nine games in total, and they will definitely be able to play the game to the extreme.

Even bookmakers are unwilling to open the Miami Heat handicap because the Heat are so good at acting.

While Riley insisted on coaching himself, the Heat wanted to lose the game that the Heat could not save even the bookmakers. This is the strength of the team that was bad.

Just like the previous game between the Heat and the Knicks, the Heat fell behind by three points in the last 2.6 seconds, and the team had a timeout and still had the ball rights. After the timeout, Wade returned but completed a breakthrough and killed the game with one two-pointer.

You know, the Heat and the Knicks are both determined to play badly this season, and this game is simply an acting battle between the two teams.

In the last attack, the Knicks had already clearly wanted to let go. All the players stood in the inside, creating very favorable conditions for the Heat to shoot three-pointers.

As a result, head coach Thomas never expected that Riley would set up a goal to kill himself in the last attack.

This goal directly made Thomas stand on the sidelines with a dull look on his face. Until the end of the game, Thomas couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He turned to look at Riley and couldn't help but shout, "Fuck!"

Since the All-Star Weekend just ended and the players all got a good rest, the Grizzlies won it without any effort in this game against the Supersonics.

Luke, who sat on the sidelines throughout the game, wanted to be drowsy several times. If Lan Bill hadn't kept nagging, Luke said that he would have a good sleep anyway.

There is no way, the Grizzlies have been leading the Supersonics by more than 20 points since the second quarter. Even Durant, the only one who could be interested, was so defensive that Gerald Wallace was so angry that he called his parents.

Later generations, Durant, the "God of Death" can be regarded as the player with the strongest offensive ability in NBA history. Even Michael Jordan may not be better than Durant.

Of course, what we are talking about here is standing in the NBA arena. As for the International League, we might as well be thinking that Luke farts.

However, even the God of Death takes a long development cycle. At this stage, Durant is still just a rookie who has just entered the league.

With his thin body and extremely unstable shooting, Durant is only a pretty good scorer, and he still has a long way to go before the offensive killer.

When rookie Durant meets Gerald Wallace, who has the chance to compete for the best defensive player this year, this is destined to be a tragedy.

Durant seemed in pain under Gerald Wallace's defense throughout the first half. It was not difficult to see from Durant's sour expression that if he hadn't been afraid of Gerald Wallace's wildness, Durant would have been unable to help but curse.

Looking at Durant's expression of loneliness, Luke was afraid that Durant would collapse by Gerald. After all, Du Xiaoshuai's mentality was very easy to explode.

So in the second half, Luke simply put Gerald Wallace off the court and sent Capono, who had a very poor defensive ability, to play against him.

Who would have thought that although Capono could not defend Durant's attack on the defensive end, he knocked the Death down with a three-pointer on the offensive end.

As Capono shot further and further from outside the three-point line, he made consecutive three-pointers on Durant's head, Capono's dull look made Durant even more depressed.

I even once wondered whether I was really as the outside world said, and it was completely relied on the brainless actions of supersonic speed to pile up shrinking data.

Otherwise, how could the Grizzlies beat themselves up as if they were a substitute? Looking at Capono's expressionless look, Durant always felt that Capono seemed to be saying, "Just him. Mom, your name is Durant?"

At the end of the game, the Supersonics still lost 33 points to the Grizzlies when Luke was already very relaxed.

I have to say that the Supersonics this season are really rubbish. I'm afraid that even Michael Jordan will not be able to save this team even if he returns overnight.

After the game, when Luke saw Durant's walking dead appearance, Luke couldn't help but step forward and patted Durant in the head, "Don't be discouraged, you will definitely get better in the future."

Luke's words seemed to bring hope to Durant's eyes again. After all, everyone knew very well, and Luke's vision of the players was unique.

If Luke says that the player has a future, then the player will definitely have a bright future.

Looking at Durant's face change in one second, Luke hesitated and said, "But you are really a bit bad now."

“………”

…………

After defeating the Supersonics, the Grizzlies flew to Houston overnight to challenge the Rockets away.

After sending off McGrady away in the offseason, Yao Ming is definitely the most important star in this Rockets. His average of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game is definitely more qualified to be the first center in the league than Howard.

If Howard hadn't been too popular in the United States, Yao Ming would have long been the most dominant center in the league since O'Neal's peak.

However, although the Rockets got Conley and Guy the two prides of heaven in the deal to send McGrady away, the young man was destined to need more time to hone his skills.

So even if Yao Ming is very strong, the Rockets are still not the opponent of the Grizzlies. Even if Yao Ming faces Mark Gasol's data with 27 points and 9 rebounds, it cannot change the fact that the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies by 16 points.

After the game, Yao Ming was not very frustrated on his face, after all, this Grizzlies ranks first in the league, and Yao Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with losing to such a team.
To be continued...
