Whether the Lakers can surpass the Bulls at the end of the season has caused a big discussion among basketball fans all over the world. It can be said that as long as they understand basketball, there will be no people who don't care about this topic.
So for a while, there were a lot of prediction posts and popular science posts on the Internet. Of course, most people are still very optimistic about the Lakers breaking the Bulls record. Maybe the only obstacle is that there are more away games in the second half, so the upcoming 'grid' The trip to Las Vegas is called by many experts a watershed in whether it can break the record. From January 31 to February 9, the Lakers will play 6 away games within 10 days, which is undoubtedly a very big test.

As fans of Ji Feng, they are naturally very concerned about this All-Star Weekend. They all want to know how many votes Ji Feng will be crowned as the king of votes!
But this still needs to be taken slowly. On the morning of the 23rd, the NBA official website first announced the entry list for this year's rookie game.
This rookie match is still a first-year against a second-year, each team has 9 players, they are:
First-year: Derrick Rose of Bulls, OJ Mayo and Marc Gasol of Grizzlies, Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez of Blazers, Russell Westbrook of Thunder, Clippers Eric Gordon of the Heat, Michael Beasley of the Heat and Brook Lopez of the Nets.

There is no one with Horford, and Rose, Brooks and Mayo are also quite competitive on the first-year guard line.
But after the list came out, 24 commentators and basketball commentators made their predictions. No one was optimistic that the first year would be able to counterattack. Durant, who has also made rapid progress this season, is unstoppable in his first year.
And then at noon, the NBA officially announced the list of all-star individual events again!
The four shooting stars are: Detroit United, Los Angeles Lakers, host Phoenix Suns and defending champion San Antonio Spurs.
Originally, this project was an appetizer before the competition. Not many people watched it, and few people paid attention, but this time it was different. In the Lakers roster, Ji Feng unexpectedly appeared here!
That's right, Ji Feng was not going to participate in this project originally. To be honest, Ji Feng has never heard of this competition before, except last year, and Ji Feng is definitely the busiest person this time. As the defending champion of the slam dunk contest and the skill contest, he is definitely going to participate, and he was also invited to participate in the three-point contest this time, which means that he will be the first player to participate in the three contests at the same time, and his busyness can be seen.
But this time the Lakers retired veteran is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, so he personally invited Ji Feng to join his lineup. According to his words, as long as Ji Feng joins, the game is already half won.
After all, Kareem is half of Ji Feng's teacher. His teaching has benefited Ji Feng a lot. He will not refuse to personally invite Ji Feng, so Ji Feng will participate in all individual competitions without precedent in history!
"It's awesome, Ji Feng, it's too awesome. Whether I make it or not, I will go to Phoenix to watch it at my own expense." Gasol looked at the roster and gave Ji Feng a thumbs up. Ji Feng this season It's about wrapping up the All-Stars, how could he miss it.
On the other hand, Fisher and Bynum all expressed their approval, and they were also preparing to use Phoenix as their All-Star weekend vacation.
"Continue to look at the list!" Of course Ji Feng would not refuse, and then leaned forward to see who his opponents in the single event were.
The roster for the Skills Challenge is: defending champion Ji Feng, Nets' Devin Harris, Spurs' Parker and Bulls No. 1 pick Rose.
There is only Ross who can threaten Ji Feng, and this will be another encounter between Ji Feng and Ross.
And the slam dunk contest is still the same old faces. In addition to Ji Feng, there are Howard and Nate Robinson, as well as the Blazers rookie Ferdinand. These people are old acquaintances of Ji Feng. If nothing else, they have absolute confidence in dunking Ji Feng. confidence.
What Ji Feng is most concerned about is the first three-point contest he participated in. This time, the league personally invited Ji Feng to participate. After all, today's Ji Feng is synonymous with three-point shooting, while his opponents are on the same field. It's Mike Bibby, Daquan Cook, Danny Granger, Jason Kapono, and Rashad Lewis. Seriously, after reading the list, Ji Feng really thinks that one can play. nothing.
Obviously, many media think so too. ESPN bluntly said that as long as Ji Feng plays seriously, it is very likely that he will win the championship of all individual events.
And just as fans were discussing endlessly, the NBA officially announced the roster for this season's All-Star game!
Ji Feng was crowned this season's vote king with a record-breaking 4,583,456 votes, becoming the first player in NBA All-Star history to break the 3 million and 4 million mark!
This also proves that Ji Feng's current popularity is really invincible, and Chinese fans alone will not have such good results.
Just pity Howard, who has reached the peak of popularity this season. He became the Eastern Conference vote king with 3,150,181 votes, and became the second player in history to exceed 3 million.
In this way, a total of ten starters from the east and west have all been determined. They are:
