On February 19, Beijing time, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially started. First, the rookie challenge, followed by the All-Star Weekend Skills Three-pointers and the Dunk Contest, and finally the All-Star Game that has attracted attention. This grand competition and performance came to Cleveland. Since the Cavaliers won the championship, the city's sports news has been addicted to the needs of too long, and there is no more news about superstars attracting attention. It is gratifying that the Cavaliers suddenly broke out this season and are currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, higher than the defending champion Bucks, which excited Cavaliers fans. Finally, I saw that without James, the Cavaliers might be able to play the final again. James also started as the All-Star Captain of the West. He still occupies the C position in the huge promotional poster of the Cavaliers, as if heralding the return of the king!
And James is also considered to be very likely to compete for the All-Star MVP. This is also four years later. James may once again win the trophy of the All-Star MVP, attracting thousands of people's attention in his hometown, and continue to create history! Some foreign media reporter Skip said bluntly: "I bet James will leave the market for 35 minutes and score 40 points. He will turn on the scoring mode."
Reason 1: The strength of the All-Star teams is vividly on paper, and the lineup where James is located is stronger. Due to Durant's injury, Durant's lineup has been less powerful. Currently, there are Antetokounmpo and DeRozan, who are in the limelight in the James team, and they are quite strong. Especially DeRozan's recent 35+ scores have performed strongly on the offensive end, and once the CNY shoots out, it can't be said to be able to stop. In the All-Star Game, everyone will be more relaxed in defense, which also gives DeRozan the opportunity to play. Antetokounmpo represents the top inside strength in the league, and the comprehensive performance on both offense and defense also brings a lot of resistance to James. It is gratifying that James still has Jokic who can serve as the main defensive force in the interior. With Curry's three-pointer from the outside, and James' organizational offensive ability and personal scoring ability, he also increases the winning rate for the game.
Reason 2: This is Cleveland, James' hometown. It is precisely because of this special meaning that James may compete for honor again in his hometown. James' return will inevitably cause the biggest sensation on the field. I believe that when the host introduces James, he will introduce the King of Cleveland to come back! This sentence will also ignite the feelings of fans. James is also a player with a strong desire to win and lose. He will strive to win
Reason 2: James is already 37 years old and will turn 38 this year. Isn’t this better for an elderly player to add another honor? And James has absolute ball rights, and as long as he wants, he will do it. In the All-Star Game in the first three years, James also did not show his intention to compete for MVP. I believe young people also know that this is Cleveland, James' city. And won't compete with James. Combining these three reasons, it can be said that the right time, place and people are harmonious, and it is against common sense not to take MVP!
Two years ago, LeBron James played in the All-Star Game for 18 minutes, scored 23 points, and made 20 shots. Last year, he played for 13 minutes and scored only 4 points in 7 shots. He has been relaxing in the past and giving young people more opportunities, and James is playing his highest scoring season since 2010 while maintaining his excellent efficiency and statistics. If it weren't for the disappointing record of the Los Angeles Lakers, he would definitely be at the forefront of the MVP conversation. Can he take this opportunity to perform at his 18th All-Star Game to show that he is still one of the top NBA stars? Moreover, James has not stayed in the arena for much time, and his contract with the Lakers will expire in 23 years. He intends to play with his son Brownie, and he needs to prove his strength again.
Cavaliers fans are also looking forward to it. In some interviews before the game, many fans expressed their happy and warm welcome to James' return, and said bluntly that the king of Cleveland is back. It is conceivable how popular Lao Zhan is.What do you think about this?
