Arlington, Texas.

This small town, located 32 kilometers west of Dallas, has become the focus of attention in the United States in recent days. Countless tourists have flocked to this quiet city in just a few days. Fortunately, not far to the north of Arlington is one of the busiest airports in the world - Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, which has a huge daily flow of people and a well-tested public transportation system. Otherwise, the sudden surge in passenger flow would definitely paralyze the small town's public transportation.

The tourists who come to Arlington have one thing in common: they are either wearing Kobe, James, or Wade jerseys, or Air Jordan and Nike basketball shoes. You can always find something related to basketball on them.

There is only one reason why these fans came to Arlington - the 2010 NBA All-Star Weekend will be held in Arlington!

This is the last All-Star Weekend of the first decade of the 21st century and the first All-Star Weekend of the second decade of the 21st century. The league is constantly building momentum, and Mark Cuban, owner of the Mavericks, who is hosting this All-Star, has also expressed his intention to make this the most glamorous All-Star Game yet, which has fans looking forward to it.

In the previous All-Star voting, James received 2.55 million votes, becoming the top vote-getter of this year's All-Star Game, followed by Kobe Bryant with 2.45 million votes, ranking second.

This is the second time that James has become the voting leader after the 2007 All-Star Game. The Cavaliers are currently on a roll and ranked first in the league. Many people believe this is a sign that a new era is about to begin.

In his seventh season, Jordan won his first championship and started his first three-peat. This year is also James' seventh season in the league. Is this just a coincidence or a legacy? Many people are keen on such legendary things, especially James fans. They firmly believe that this year belongs to James.

This year, James' statistics have increased from 28.4 points, 7.2 assists, and 7.6 rebounds last season to 27.5 points, 9.1 assists, and 8.6 rebounds. Although his scoring has dropped slightly, it is more comprehensive and luxurious.

The Cavaliers' record has also improved, and they are the number one favorite to win the championship. James has almost monopolized the Eastern Conference's Player of the Week since the first week. Only a few were taken away by Howard, but he won all the best awards for three months, showing a terrifying dominance, and the possibility of winning the MVP again has greatly increased.

The media has been hyping up James. As long as the Cavaliers' record does not drop drastically after the All-Stars, the MVP will definitely be in his pocket. Not only that, everyone is waiting for James to dominate the regular season and then kill everyone in the playoffs, truly ruling the world and ascending the throne as king.

Many Cavaliers fans have thanked Liam Gonzalez online for sending Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson to the Cavaliers. Both of them have performed very well in the Cavaliers and are important contributors to the Cavaliers' ranking first in the league.

They were not sarcastic. Although the Warriors won one game against the Cavaliers, there was no competition between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, and it would not affect the Cavaliers' championship. The Cavaliers fans mostly made jokes and rarely made sarcastic remarks, but it still caused dissatisfaction among the Warriors fans, and the two sides frequently confronted each other online.

Many Warriors fans also began to complain about Liam Gonzalez's operation. Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson played so well, why did they trade them and get a bunch of late first-round draft picks?

Can't Coach Liam see that as long as James stays in Cleveland, the Cavaliers will be a strong team, their draft picks are not worth much, and the big Z and Varejao they got in exchange are not very useful? For the Warriors, this deal is really a loss.

But Liam Gonzalez simply ignored these remarks. In addition, the Warriors' record was not bad and they had always remained in the Western Conference playoffs. This debate lasted for a while and then disappeared. Now with the All-Star Game, no one was paying attention to this offseason deal anymore.

This All-Star Game was very grand, and the Warriors became one of the focuses. Curry received 2.23 million votes. He participated in the All-Star Game for the first time in his career and became the starting guard for the Western Conference All-Star Game!

In addition, he also signed up for the three-point contest and skills contest, and participated in the rookie challenge with Butler and Matthews. Curry also became the busiest player in this All-Star Game.

It is only natural for Curry to be an All-Star starter. Halfway through the season, his stats are 25.4 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds. The Warriors are ranked sixth in the Western Conference and have been in the playoffs.

Moreover, since Yao Ming is not playing this year, Yi Jianlian is not eligible to vote at all. Chinese fans cast a large number of All-Star votes for Curry, and in one fell swoop lifted him into the All-Star starting lineup.

This is also the first time in 15 years that the Warriors have a player selected as an All-Star starter since "Madman" Sprewell in 1995. Many Warriors fans traveled thousands of miles to Arlington to see Curry at the All-Star Weekend.

It's a bit of a pity that Kobe suffered an injury not long ago and will not be able to play in the All-Star Game. Nash will replace him as the starting player in the Western Conference All-Star Game.

As a result, the starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Stars is Curry, Nash, Stoudemire, Anthony, and Duncan. Among them, Curry is the youngest, but he received the most votes.

The Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup consists of James, Wade, Howard, Garnett, and Joe Johnson, with Joe Johnson replacing the injured Iverson as the starting guard.

The four great shooting guards of the past have changed a lot today. Except for Kobe who is still a superstar, the other three are no longer as brave as they used to be. The old generation is replaced by the new generation. The NBA has reached a turning point. The old era is slowly coming to an end and the new era is rising. Because of Liam Gonzalez's arrival, the NBA will definitely undergo changes beyond everyone's imagination in the next ten years!

...

February 13th.

Liam Gonzalez lazily got up from the bed at nine o'clock, but instead of getting up, he just lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Although he did not have any official All-Star events to attend, he still came to Arlington for All-Star Weekend.

In his previous life, he wanted to go to the All-Star Game. In the past two years, he was busy with the Bulldogs' games and had no time to go to the All-Star Game. This year, he finally had time, and of course, he would not miss it.

He dressed and washed leisurely, walked out of the hotel, and came to another hotel across the street - this was the place where the league prepared accommodation for the players selected for the All-Star Game, and the entire hotel was booked.

Although Liam Gonzalez was not invited by the league to participate in the All-Star Game and was not eligible to enter this hotel, people working in the NBA could not have been unaware of the youngest and only American head coach in the league. He managed to get in by just using his good looks.

Liam Gonzalez was not in a hurry. He walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looking around. He saw Nowitzki who was about to go out.

He smiled and greeted:

"Hello, Dirk, what a coincidence, are you going out to play?"

Nowitzki was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,

"Good morning, Coach Liam. I have an event to attend."

"I forgot that you are the host."

Nowitzki shook his head helplessly:

"I just finished a game the day before yesterday, and attended two events yesterday. I am really exhausted..."

Listening to Nowitzki's complaints, Liam Gonzalez nodded in understanding. After the Warriors played against the Thunder, the last two games before the All-Stars were against the Mavericks and the Clippers. They achieved a record of one win and one loss, losing to the Mavericks and winning against the Clippers.

In the game against the Mavericks, Chandler did not have the dominance under the basket that he had in the previous game against the Thunder. Carlisle put out a lineup with Nowitzki as the center, moved Chandler away from the basket, and launched an attack against the Warriors' restricted area, repeatedly succeeding.

Liam Gonzalez tried to change the position, but Nowitzki's back-to-the-basket skills became more and more sophisticated. Neither Varejao nor Butler were his match. Only Chandler could limit him slightly. Liam Gonzalez had no choice but to let Chandler accompany Nowitzki to smoke outside the three-point line.

In the end, the Mavericks won the game with a score of 104:94, achieving two consecutive victories over the Warriors.

After losing to the Mavericks, the Warriors then narrowly defeated the Clippers at home 114:110. In this game, Byron Davis played very well, scoring 21 points and 8 assists, revitalizing the Clippers' offense. Chris Kaman made accurate mid-range shots and scored a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds, almost overturning the Warriors.

Fortunately, Curry played well, making 7 of 15 three-pointers, scoring 34 points and 8 assists. He also hit a key three-pointer in the last minute, allowing the Warriors to get through the game.

Chandler scored 15 points and 10 rebounds and 9 points and 6 rebounds in these two games respectively. The statistics look okay, but he missed many people on the defensive end.

He still hasn't gotten enough time to integrate with the Warriors and is underperforming. His inability to fully integrate into the Warriors' system is a headache for Liam Gonzalez.

Understood! I will adjust the names and references as requested, replacing Chinese names with American ones, changing mentions of China to Colombia, and using American media names like ESPN or TNT where applicable. I'll also ensure the narrators reflect Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy as instructed. Here's the revised passage:

The reason he performed so well against the Thunder was purely because Westbrook was too stubborn, while Kidd and Baron Davis were both veterans who specifically looked for loopholes in the Warriors' defense and made Chandler run around in a hurry.

But this is just a small problem. Liam Gonzalez believes that with Chandler's defensive ability, as long as he goes through a period of running-in, he will be able to perfectly integrate into the Warriors' offensive and defensive system. By then, the Warriors' strength will be taken to a higher level. Now it is just a period of pain.

After two fierce battles, the entire Warriors team was exhausted both physically and mentally. Fortunately, they had the All-Star holiday to rest. However, Nowitzki had to participate in many commercial activities. Liam Gonzalez could fully understand his complaints.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Nowitzki was in a hurry to attend the event, so he left. Liam Gonzalez strolled around the hotel casually and met a few basketball stars. He chatted with them for a few words before he saw Curry, Butler, and Matthews walking out of the restaurant.

After the three of them got together, Curry, as an All-Star starter, went to participate in a community care event, while Liam Gonzalez, Butler, and Matthews strolled around Arlington.

In this All-Star Game, Liam Gonzalez found back the feeling of being a fan. He didn't have to think about tactics or watch game videos. He just bought whatever he wanted to buy and played whatever he wanted to play. The three of them played in downtown Arlington for a whole morning and bought a lot of souvenirs. Although they sweated a lot, they felt greatly relaxed mentally. This was much easier than the Warriors' one-day training.

In the afternoon, Butler and Matthews went to training to prepare for the rookie challenge in the evening, while Liam Gonzalez continued shopping alone.

Liam Gonzalez actually doesn't like shopping, but when a street is full of NBA-related souvenirs, as a fan, it is difficult for him to control his desire to shop.

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, Liam Gonzalez came to the Cowboys Stadium to watch the Rookie Challenge.

This stadium, which was recently put into use, is the home of the Dallas Cowboys and the newest and largest stadium in the NFL. It is full of technology and can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators.

Tonight is just a rookie challenge, so the venue won't be full, but there are still more than 90,000 spectators watching the game. The place is bustling with noise and a cheerful atmosphere.

This year's Rookie Game is very eye-catching. Among the sophomore team, Rose, Westbrook, Love, Beasley, and Gasol Jr. are all outstanding players. The explosive styles of Rose and Westbrook are particularly attractive.

Among the freshman team, there is no need to mention Curry, he is the only All-Star starter participating in the Rookie Game. Evans also performed very well in the first half of the season, with comprehensive data of 20.6 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. There is also Jennings who scored 50+ in a single game.

Many people believe that this is the closest rookie tournament in the past few years.

The course of this game really lived up to people's expectations and was very exciting.

Although Curry and Rose were obviously slacking off in order to save their energy for tomorrow's All-Star Game, the freshman team, led by Evans, had a fierce confrontation with the sophomore team led by Westbrook.

In the first half, Evans performed very well. He was able to tear through the sophomore team's defense with sharp breakthroughs, and he could also use passes to organize the team's offense in an orderly manner. He led the freshman team to suppress the sophomore team and got 8 assists.

Curry played the role of a spot shooter, waiting for shots outside the three-point line without much effort, but at the end of the first quarter, he made a buzzer-beating logo three-pointer, which aroused cheers from the audience.

In the second half, the situation changed suddenly. Westbrook, who had only scored 11 points in the first two quarters, suddenly went into a rampage mode, attacking the basket resolutely. His touch was also very hot, and he made several mid-range and long-range jump shots in succession.

Westbrook in this state was almost unstoppable. He scored points one after another, helping the sophomore team to catch up and even overtake the opponent in one fell swoop.

But Evans lived up to his nickname of "Little James". He competed against Westbrook. Harden and Jennings were not to be outdone. They frequently scored from beyond the three-point line and firmly maintained their advantage.

Curry and Rose passed ashtrays to each other in the corner in tacit understanding. They were very harmonious with each other and even chatted for a few words.

"Derrick, what's good to eat in Chicago? Last time I was in a hurry and could only stay in the hotel and eat boxed lunches."

"Next time I win, I'll treat you to a meal."

"What if I win?"

"Haha, then don't even think about it."
