Lin Ri officially announced that he will return in the next game, which made Phoenix fans on the Internet suddenly excited.

Everyone can't wait to welcome Lin Ri's return.

Before, they were all saying, "I didn't expect that without the sun, we would be so bad."

Now, finally, the person they have been waiting for day and night is back. Do you think they can be unhappy?

They were happy, and the Bulls' head coach had a grimace.

Why did you come back as soon as it was time to fight us and target us like this?

The Bulls have not had an easy time recently. They have lost three of the past four games and won only one, and the win was against the Clippers, who are currently ranked at the bottom of the Western Conference.

They have never done this for several other teams.

Every team will have some overall fluctuations at some point during the season, and it's not a big deal.

The Bulls are currently in this situation.

Originally, the head coach of the Bulls was waiting for this game to slow down. After all, he has seen the strength of the Suns without Lin Ri. Although the Bulls' current state is terrible, they can certainly be dealt with.

It can still be sorted out!!

It’s a playoff team after all!!

Unexpectedly, the Suns had just finished beating the Bobcats, and then they announced Lin Ri's comeback... This, this, this, this is really... Is this really something that a human can do?

Do you have any compassion for your colleagues?

Don’t you know how to help your colleagues when they are in trouble?

No. 1 in the West, you have no heart!

The news of Lin Ri's comeback also made the Bulls head coach's mood go from heaven to hell.

Although this game hasn't been played yet, he knows that he will probably kneel again.

No wonder he has such thoughts. The Suns with Lin Ri are really too strong - they can defeat the Lakers and Cavaliers!

With the Bulls' current momentum, it's strange that they can win.

Now he only has one idea, and that is to lose a little less.

Lose less and win more!

The day after Lin announced his return for the next game, the league officially announced the roster of players for the three major All-Star weekend challenges.

It also aroused quite a bit of discussion for a while.

The first is the list of dunk contestants, including defending champion Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks, Shannon Brown of the Lakers and Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats, as well as Dwight Howard of the Magic and Lin of the New York Knicks.

day.

Nate Robinson, Dwight Howard and Lin Ri will participate in this year's dunk contest. This is the lineup that has been circulated before.

However, when they saw the names of these three people appearing on the list, all the fans couldn't help but get excited.

When these three people get together, there’s not much to say. This year’s slam dunk contest is definitely worth looking forward to!

Moreover, the other two people are not rotten fish. "Elvis" Wallace is the representative of the iron-blooded faction. He plays with passion, his physical fitness is also excellent, and dunking can be regarded as a representative of his offensive methods.

Although this is not a good thing.

Because this often means that this guy doesn't have many means.

But what is the slam dunk contest about?

Isn't it just a dunk?

If you can dunk, you are a superstar in the slam dunk contest.

The other Shannon Brown is no ordinary person either.

After all, he was the guy whom Kobe Bryant praised, "I thought he could jump to the ceiling above the arena."

However, this guy's most exciting goal so far is not a dunk, but a "duck" against Mario West. It was in a regular season last year. West was about to dunk, but was blocked by Shannon Brown.

He jumped up and directly completed the "cap off". Although he was sentenced to a foul, this ball fully demonstrated Shannon Brown's physical fitness.

"This will be a very exciting dunk contest. The five guys with the best physical fitness in each position will stage a super dunk battle during this year's All-Star Weekend!"

Anyway, this list directly made ESPN play the "Super Fight" gimmick...

It's a coincidence, of course, or it may be deliberate by the league. The five guys participating happened to cover positions 1 to 5, with a representative for each position. Nate Robinson was at position 1, and Shannon was at position 1.

Brown is the second position, Gerald Wallace is the third position, Lin Ri is the fourth position, and Dwight Howard is the fifth position... This has become a battle between various positions!

After ESPN broke this point, the buzz about this dunk contest suddenly became louder!

It is worth mentioning that some fans feel a little pity because of this, because there has been a lot of news that LeBron James will also participate in the dunk contest this year. If he participates, this will really become the five guys with the best physical fitness at each position.

There was a fight between them.

After Gerald Wallace was injured, although his physical fitness is still good, he is obviously not qualified to represent the third position.

Alas, what a pity!!

Interestingly, LeBron James also expressed his regrets through Twitter later: no, no, no, seriously, no, if I knew, then I would definitely participate, this lineup is really

So luxurious!

As for whether this is his true thoughts, there is no way of knowing...

The four participants in this year's Skills Challenge are Devin Harris of the Nets, Nelson of the Magic, Parker of the Spurs, and Rose of the Bulls. In addition, Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns also participated in this Skills Challenge.

race.

This is quite surprising, because Steve Nash has already won the skills challenge championship, and he has no intention of participating again in the next few years. However, he did not expect that after a few years, he became old and old, but instead

Came here to participate in the skills challenge.

However, the lineup for the Skills Challenge is still incomparable to the lineup for the Slam Dunk Contest. Even though Steve Nash participated, it still didn't cause any big noise.

Compared to the lineups in the Skills Challenge, not to mention the lineups in the Dunk Contest, even the lineups in the Three-Point Shootout Contest are incomparable.

The two finals MVPs Chauncey Billups and Paul Pierce will participate in this three-point contest. In addition, according to the NBA official website, the last three-point contest champion Daquan Cook, the Suns' Stephen Curry and

Channing Frye and Gallinari of the Knicks will also participate in this three-point contest.

This lineup is considered luxurious. Although it is still not as luxurious as the list of the Slam Dunk Contest, there is no way. Even if the list of this year's Slam Dunk Contest is compared to the previous four or five years, it will not lose.

It's normal to not compare.

However, it can still be seen from this list that Stern can really arrange stunts. Just look at the arrangements for these three major challenges and how many Suns players there are.

Thinking about it, this is indeed foreseeable. After all, the Suns are the most talked about team so far this season.

Arranging more players from the Suns is also in line with Stern's usual behavior.

If he didn't arrange it this way, it would probably be a strange thing.

…

While fans are discussing the list of the three major challenge events, Lin's first game back and the home game against the Bulls has also arrived.

The Bulls head coach has no hope for this game, but Derrick Rose is very serious about this game and has the idea of ​​winning.

This is somewhat understandable. As the No. 1 pick in 2008, how could he bow his head in front of the No. 1 pick in 2009?

Moreover, it was a pity that the Bulls lost last time.

In Derrick Rose's view, if he could hold on for a while, he might be able to win that game, but as a result, he and Lin Ri competed against each other for half a game, and in the end they were still one step behind.

This step is Derrick Rose's regret, and he wants to make up for it in this game.

To be honest, it was a pity that Lin Ri was injured, because he wanted to play against the Suns with only Lin Ri, not the Suns without Lin Ri.

Fortunately!

Lin Ri still made a comeback...

There must be revenge in this game!

Even though Derrick Rose knows that his teammates are not in very good condition at the moment, he still has this idea!

But when the game actually started, Derrick Rose realized that the current Suns team seemed not something he could touch...

Compared with the Suns team at the beginning of the season, the current Suns team is much better on both offense and defense than the previous Suns team!

Whether it's the tacit understanding on the offensive end or the linkage on the defensive end, the previous Suns team couldn't match it.

Is this also the reason why this Suns team climbed to first place in the Western Conference?

Derrick Rose originally wanted to play against Lin Ri again, but this time he had to focus a lot of his energy on competing with Steve Nash for the rhythm of the game. In addition, the Suns had Lin Ri as the core.

The defensive formation made Derrick Rose's unstoppable breakthrough somewhat sluggish tonight.

Derrick Rose was suppressed like this...and he was suppressed, and the entire Bulls team's only possibility of winning tonight was gone.

The Bulls struggled all night and then left Phoenix with a 15-point defeat, 96-111.

Derrick Rose looked similar to LeBron James when he left. However, he was a little more helpless. He lost two games in a row, and this game was still a disastrous defeat. Naturally, he was more aware of the gap between his team and the Suns, but he

Looking at Lin Ri's final single-game statistics of 28 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, and then looking at his own statistics of 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists with a shooting percentage of less than 40%, it's heartbreaking.
