This year's All-Star Game was held at the Philips Arena in Atlanta.

He Li thought he was no longer a rookie, and he also fought for the honor he should have won before, so he would not be too busy with the next All-American Star weekend.

But unexpectedly, He Li, who had just arrived in Atlanta, was surrounded by a group of people and was so busy that he could not rest for a moment.

"He Li, not long ago, the league officially announced the revision of the playoffs system, and the first round of the playoffs, the first round of the playoffs has changed to the seven-game four-game system.

Some commentators believe that this is to some extent a restriction on the Bucks' defending championship.

What do you think about this?"

Although the Bucks won the championship last season, it is indeed easier to break through the first round.

Before the restructuring of this season, the NBA playoffs had a five-game three-win system.

For teams with high rankings in the regular season, they are more confident in winning the first round of the playoffs.

Because at the beginning, there are two home courts, grasping the first two games will put huge psychological pressure on low-level teams.

Even if you transfer to the opponent's home court, you may still win three consecutive victories.

If you take a step back, there will be a situation where the opponent is allowed to chase two and two. G5 will return to the home court and it will be easier to grasp the first round of the playoffs.

It is also for this reason that the Supersonics led by George Carl were the Nuggets Black Eight, which is the most incredible and incomprehensible first round of the playoffs.

If it weren't for the sweeping championship last season, George Carl would have been crucified on the pillar of shame as always.

Not long ago, the league officials suddenly announced that this year's playoffs will be reorganized, and all playoff match systems have been changed to seven games and four wins.

In this way, some teams with high rankings in the regular season have no absolute advantage.

Black Eight and Black Eight will have greater possibilities.

For the Bucks, if you encounter Wizards, Magic in the first round, or even accidentally encounter Celtics, you may encounter some trouble.

In addition, the number of games in the first round of the playoffs has increased, and the risk of players suffering from injuries is also greater.

The Bucks this season are more healthy than last season. What is more obvious is that He Li did not wear protective gear on the court almost every game like last season.

The three musketeers did not rest due to injuries. At most, they felt tired and had minor injuries and came on the court with protective gear.

However, they still have a history of injury and potential injuries. In the second half of the regular season, where the game is more intense, and the playoffs, there may be a storm.

In short, the league has been restructured for the playoffs, which will indeed have some impact on the Bucks, the number one in the East.

The league will not be reorganized sooner or later, but in a small football market like the Bucks, it will be reorganized after winning the championship again after 30 or 40 years. This makes George Carl and others have to wonder if the league is malicious about him and the Bucks.

Of course, it is not only the Bucks who have opinions on the league's restructuring. Many strong teams in the East do not support the restructuring, and the same is true in the West.

As the saying goes, there are no weak teams in the West, and this season the West has become a mess.

So far, the Lakers, who are ranked first in the Kings, second in the Mavericks, and third in the Spurs, are more comfortable.

The Trail Blazers, Suns, Mosaics, and Jazz are ranked in the west for five, six, seven, and eight.

If this continues, in the playoffs, the Kings' Princeton system may not be able to get a bargain against the Jazz's iron-blooded defense and pick-and-roll tactics.

After all, four twos cannot win the big and big kings, let alone the king's Princeton cannot get all four ks.

On the other hand, the Jazz have Utah's two evil spirits in charge, and even if they are no longer at the peak, they are still stronger. Compared with the Kings, the playoff experience is really rich.

Sloan's on-the-spot arrangement is better than Adelman. The King's fight against the Jazz may not be easy.

Let’s look at the Mavericks and Mosaics. Not long ago, the Mosaic just won the Mavericks.

One fights and the other mainly relies on positional battles. As long as the Mavericks do not run to death, the Mosaics may be soft and hard to defeat the Mavericks with weak defeats the strong.

The team's playing style and style are restrained. Some strong teams will regret losing the game when they encounter teams with incompatible playing styles.

The sudden restructuring of the playoffs has added some unstable factors on the road to winning the championship.

It is normal for everyone to reject this.

However, nowadays, most of the league talks about this topic is the team management, not the players.

It was because He Li came to the All-Star Weekend that a reporter came to him.

He Li didn't say much about this. If the Bucks are targeted by the Alliance Headquarters, He Li must be more cautious in his words and actions.

"He Li, there is no doubt that you are already a super giant in the league!

With this kind of strength, will you still give your all in the rookie challenge?

Everyone says you are very team and have nothing to do, so will you choose to give the rookie challenge mvp to other outstanding rookies?

For example, Gilbert Arenas!”

Arenas was still an unknown little figure last season. This season, he has turned over the Warriors' bottom team, Salted Fish, and gradually looks like "Agent Zero".

Until now this season, Arenas averaged 18.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

As a sophomore rookie point guard, it is indeed commendable that Arenas is able to play this data.

Assuming Arenas is the main controller in the first eight teams in the Western Conference, Arenas can even become the Western Conference All-Star substitute guard.

It is also because in a bottom team like the Warriors, the quality of the stars is not high enough.

But among rookies, it is quite dazzling.

He Li's rookie success rate this year is not low, but some players fell behind in the first grade of the Rookie Challenge last year.

There are some new roles in this year's sophomore, in addition to Arenas, there are Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, and Troy Murphy, who are basically big guys.

In the first grade, Yao Ming and Jay Williams were the top picks, and Mike Dunleavy, who was already behind.

However, Drew Gooden, fourth-ranked, seventh-ranked, ninth-ranked, karon Butler, tenth-ranked, and eleventh-ranked Jared Jeffries were also selected for the rookie challenge.

Overall, the high-level show is slightly better than last year, at least it has basically not lost water, and the yield rate is quite considerable.

However, if He Li leads the team to easily defeat the second grade in this year, he has little hope.

Just looking at the personal data of the rookies of the two teams, the second grade is overwhelmingly overwhelmingly, let alone the second grade.

Originally, He Li had no idea of ​​the second-grade lineup, so he didn't want to show off. He just simply scored more than ten points and checked in for three quarters.

After all, He Li must focus his physical strength and energy on tomorrow's All-Star Game.

In addition, there are slam dunk contests and three-point long-range shooting contests that need to be participated.

The rookie challenge is a part that He Li can strategically give up.

However, after hearing a reporter's question, whether He Li should give the rookie challenge MVP to Arenas.

He Li is naturally, "to be the one who takes responsibility".

MVP is all based on my ability. I bully the first-year rookie, and I check in in three quarters and continue to win the rookie challenge MVP. What's wrong with that?

After all, this is also one of the sources of honor points!

So, He Li said in front of the camera with confidence: "Gilbert Arenas is an outstanding rookie.

But I will respect every opponent and every game.

I won't let the fans come to the All-Star Weekend down!

I will do my best before the win or loss of the rookie challenge!”

Speaking of this year's All-Star Weekend, the ticket prices of Rookie Challenge have increased a lot compared to last year.

He Li had heard of it before coming. The free tickets that were originally issued to students in nearby schools have now been hyped up to more than $5.

As for the side seats in the first two rows, you may not be able to buy them even if you spend two or three hundred dollars.

According to rumors, there are still many domestic fans who crossed the ocean and rushed to Atlanta to visit this All-Star Weekend.

After all, whether it is the rookie challenge or the All-Star Game, it is a Chinese derby.

He Li answered some reporters' questions at the airport and was relieved.

After arriving at the Philips Arena, they were surrounded by domestic media.

There are not many domestic media, except for CCTV, only Sina and Sohu.

However, everyone is very new to this All-Star Weekend, and He Li can clearly feel strong expectations and enthusiasm from them.

Unlike last year, He Li was the only one in the rookie challenge last year. CCTV Sports sent someone to interview and record a video.

This year, Yao Ming, as a local basketball player with a strong roots in China, entered the NBA as the CBA champion, FMVP, and the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.

This is very different from He Li, who is "Cheng Yaojin" halfway.

He Li is the child of his neighbor's house, and Yao Ming is his own child.

Although He Li will be compared, what should be kissed and hurt, but in the end he is still his own child?

Domestic media came to Atlanta for the All-Star Weekend. On the one hand, they came to see with their own eyes what achievements Yao Ming can achieve, and on the other hand, they also wanted to get a positive comment on Yao Ming from He Li.

Can Yao Ming be "better than his superiority" and replicate He Li's success or even surpass him?

"Although I'm also an inside player, I'm still a shooter.

The route I take is different from Yao Ming.

The success factors for us to gain a foothold in NBA are also different.
