Chapter 495 Sports Without Borders(1/2)

The moment the results were announced, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

The four people in the show all acted in disbelief and fell into a long silence.

They did it for the show's effect, but the fans really didn't know what to say at this moment.

James really failed to be selected for the All-Star Game!

James entered the league in 2003 and was not selected to the All-Stars in his rookie season.

But since his sophomore year, that is, since the 2005 All-Star Game, he has been an All-Star and has been for the past ten years.

But now this record has been ended.

And it was still at the peak of his career.

This is simply incredible.

In Lin Ying's house, the three people also looked at each other for a while.

In the end, Durant jumped up and shouted excitedly, which even startled Xiao Linyi.

Lin Ying came to his senses only after hearing Durant's shout.

James really lost!

Although this is the result of all their efforts, the result is still a bit too magical.

"Shadow, Nicholas, let's go and celebrate!"

Durant shouted after him.

The person who enjoys the most in this wave is not Jokic, because Jokic’s desire is actually not high. The person who enjoys the most is him!

He finally made those James fans feel uncomfortable!

Lin Ying also stood up with a smile, said hello to Swift, and said he would definitely come back in the evening, and then took them out.

When he went out, he called Su Feng over, and then called his teammates in Brooklyn one by one to come over and go to the bar to get together.

Jokic was elected to the All-Stars for the first time in his career, and even three members of the Nets were elected to the All-Stars. This should be celebrated.

Just when Lin Ying took Durant and Jokic to the bar, social media was already exploding.

"So Jokic is stronger than LeBron? What is the meaning of All-Stars?!"

"Ugly All-Star, and Lowry has more votes than Irving. The Cavaliers, who are second in the Eastern Conference, don't have a single player? Isn't it ridiculous?!"

"I think the NBA has changed. No wonder it can never compare to the NFL. This is not a fair sports league at all!"



At this time, Cavaliers fans can be considered happy, because just like Lin Ying and others, Nets fans are celebrating right now, who else is using social media!

And the outcome has been decided. Even if social media is paralyzed by spraying, the outcome cannot be changed.

Some people were happy, some were sad, some were angry, some were happy, the night was very chaotic.

Then after such a chaotic night, the league announced an important decision the next day.

Starting next season, All-Star Game voting will no longer be decided solely by fans, but will instead be determined by media and player votes, each accounting for 50%.

In other words, even if you are the top vote-getter among fans, you may not be guaranteed to enter the All-Star Game.

This is a bit like a civil service interview. You have to rank high in both rounds of interviews to be selected.

Fans' discussions on social media will certainly not be able to prompt the league to make such reforms. The bigger reason is that some teams must have protested to the league.

And the magnitude of the protest was definitely not small, which is why the alliance was so anxious to formulate a response policy.

After all, this year Jokic, Pachulia, Kanter, and Lin Ying have been unable to shake the voting top status, making the All-Star voting mechanism very confusing.

This is no longer something that can be solved by changing a ratio or unifying a standard.

Therefore, the alliance uses a financial analogy to deal with it. To prevent the collapse of this market, introducing a new market will alleviate the problem to a great extent.

Facts have also proven that this is effective, and both fans and teams are satisfied with this plan.

Although the number of players is much smaller than the fan base, as participants in the league, they can judge performance more objectively.

It can be predicted that next year's All-Star voting will become very interesting.

But those are things for next year. Nets fans will definitely be happy this year.

Three players selected by votes directly created NBA history!

This is the Nets versus the Western Conference All-Stars, and it’s full of immersion!

Some fans are even overly happy, wondering if there will be any surprises in the substitute list in the future. Four of the Nets will be selected to the All-Stars!



A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the All-Star Game substitute rosters and individual event rosters have all been released.

Fans did not find a fourth Nets player on this list, because the Nets' configuration frankly makes it impossible to have a fourth player.

However, fans unexpectedly discovered that Jokic will be a very busy man in this year's All-Star Game.

Because in addition to participating in the All-Star Game, he also has to participate in the Rookie Challenge, Skills Challenge and Three-Point Shootout Contest.

The little fat man wants to treat Toronto as his own show venue!

If Bounce hadn't been like a passerby, he would probably have gone to the slam dunk contest!

*Attached is a partial roster for the All-Star Game

Western Conference substitutes: Paul, Harden, Thompson, Draymond Green, Aldridge, Anthony Davis, Cousins;

Eastern Conference substitutes: Irving, Wall, George, DeRozan, James, Anthony, Howard;

Skills Challenge: DeMarcus Cousins, Draymond Green, Jokic, Towns, Isaiah Thomas, J. McCollum, Wall, Corey Joseph;

Three-Point Contest: Thompson, Curry, Harden, Lowry, Devin Booker, Jokic, JJ Redick;

Slam Dunk Contest: Zach LaVine, Aaron Gordon, Towns, Will Barton;



Just looking at this list, you know that this year's All-Star Game will be very exciting.

And Jokic is indeed very busy this year. He will face Green in the Skills Challenge, and he is the only big man participating in the Three-Point Shootout Competition.

You don't need to guess to know that the little fat man must have been semi-coerced into participating.

But there is another big thing happening in this year's All-Star Game.

On the first day of the All-Star Game and the same day as the All-Star Rookie Game, the league will hold the 2016 NBA Hall of Fame Ceremony.

The lineup inducted into the Hall of Fame this year is very luxurious, and many of the names are familiar to fans.

O'Neal, Tracy McGrady and Iverson.

For many fans, this is the youth of a generation.



Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s the eve of the All-Star Weekend.

At this time, the alliance pattern has begun to emerge.

Over in the West, the Warriors lead the league with 48 wins and 4 losses.

This victory also set a record. They became the only team in NBA history to win 48 games before the All-Star break.

The Spurs are in second place with a record of 44-8.

Because the Warriors are too experienced, the Spurs have not attracted so much attention, but in fact they have also set the best record before the All-Star break in team history.

If they continue to perform at this rate, they are very likely to set a new record for the best record in team history.

The Lakers ranked third with 41 wins and 11 losses.

Although they lost to the Warriors and Nets in a row, their performance this season is obviously better than in the past few seasons.

The Clippers ranked fourth with 36 wins and 15 losses.

The arrival of Deron has significantly improved the strength of the Clippers, and Crowder's role has also been ignored. In addition, Harrell also performed well on the bench.

It seems that only the Thunder are losing money on the original three-party deal.

The Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and Thunder ranked five to eight respectively.

In the East, the Nets rank first with a record of 45 wins and 7 losses.

Although it is not as impressive as the Warriors' record, considering that the Nets lost 2 of the first 7 games, this is amazing enough.

The Cavaliers ranked second with 40 wins and 13 losses.

Although they performed well at the start of the season, Love's weight loss became their biggest problem.

That may help them when they face the Warriors in the Finals, but the problem is that the first thing they have to consider now is how to get past the Nets.

The Raptors ranked third with 38 wins and 15 losses.

The Celtics ranked fourth with 36 wins and 17 losses.
