The All-Star Game is getting closer, and fans are beginning to look forward to the live broadcast of the selection.

Because last year's selection was so exciting.

And the lineup selected this year has become more interesting because of this rule.

Otherwise, the current starting lineups for the Eastern and Western teams, with five starters and four long-arm forwards for the Eastern team, would make the Western team desperate.

Then, just before the selection began, Durant went directly to Brooklyn to treat Lin Ying to dinner.

This time, Durant didn't need to speak, Lin Ying knew that this guy was here to recommend himself*2.

Lin Ying readily agreed this time and also made a promise to Durant.

"The only way I wouldn't choose you is if you were already chosen before I had the chance."

The meaning of this sentence translated is that Lin Ying failed to pick first after tossing a coin, and then James took Durant with the first pick.

This possibility is not impossible, but it is slim.

You must know that Durant and James are completely at odds with each other.

In the blink of an eye, two days later, the second NBA All-Star Game selection live broadcast started again in the TNT live broadcast room.

Before the selection began, TNT's Big Four began to take fans to review some interesting events from last year's selection.

Moreover, these people did not shy away from chatting at all, and directly asked James how it felt to be the last to be drafted last year.

James also showed his perfect character and gave the standard answer.

"There will always be someone selected last. There is no difference between first and last. They are all All-Star starters."

What is perfect.

The warm-up is almost complete, and the selection process will begin immediately.

Last year, they decided who would choose first by guessing silver coins. This year, the program team played a new trick. Buckley took out a deck of cards directly from under the table.

The rule is that he draws a card from it, and the person whose size is closer to the card gets the right to choose first.

This sounds a bit complicated, and it comes from Jordan's advice.

The reason why it is Jordan is because this year's All-Star Game is held in Charlotte.

Deciding on cards is in line with Jordan's personal preference.

Lin Ying guessed Lao K, and James guessed 6.

After all, the two of them are not magicians. They don't have the ability to read cards. It all depends on luck.

The final result came out and Barkley drew a 5.

In this way, James won the first choice.

After others complained that Barkley did not bring good luck to Lin Ying, the selection process officially began.

In fact, after determining the order of selection, Barkley and the others were also discussing who James would choose with the first pick.

The remaining eight players in the starting lineup are: Leonard, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Jokic, Curry, Harden, Paul George, and Davis.

There are many possibilities for James, and he is most likely to choose Davis, his closest teammate.

Or, he will choose the one who has performed best this season among everyone, Durant.

In fact, among the top four commentators, including Barkley, Barkley and Tracy McGrady both believed that James would be Durant's first choice.

Because Durant this season is really irresistible.

Listening to the discussion among the commentators, and looking at the evil smile on James' face, Lin Ying scratched his head unconsciously.

What he said when chatting with Durant before came to his mind now.

"The only way I wouldn't choose you is if you were already chosen before I had the chance."

Isn't this a prophetic statement?

Finally, James is about to start selecting people.

"He is the best shooter in the NBA, and probably the best shooter in NBA history. My first pick is...Stephen Curry."

James, chose Curry!

This choice can be said to be quite, very, very surprising!

The four commentators guessed Davis, Durant and Antetokounmpo respectively, but they did not guess Curry, because everyone knows the grudge between Curry and James!

Last year James was left last, which was also a key reason.

As a result, James made a shocking move and selected Curry with the first overall pick!

The expressions of the four commentators fully explained what "what the hell is a surprise" means.

Lin Ying was also stunned for a moment, but soon he smiled.

First, because of the near miss, I will not break the contract with Durant this time.

The second reason is because this is James!

How could a perfect person not repay kindness with kindness?

Curry doesn't choose me, but I, James, want to choose you, and I'll be the first to choose you!

It’s clear who has a broader mind!

James selected Curry, and there was no suspense about Lin Ying's first pick, so he decisively selected Durant.

After being opponents for half a season, the Texas Twins became teammates again!

The first pick that I was most concerned about ended, and the selection of the two people followed step by step.

Team James: Curry, Leonard, James, Davis;

Lin Ying team: Paul George, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic.

Then there is the last pick, James' choice, Harden or Antetokounmpo.

It's quite surprising that these two people were left behind.

Because among the starters selected this time, the only real guards are Curry and Harden.

Lin Ying selected George with the second-to-last pick but not Harden, which is a bit unreasonable.

However, in comparison, it is even more surprising that Antetokounmpo was retained.

This season, Antetokounmpo has begun to realize his talents and even entered the top five for MVP.

He was left to choose one of the last two, which is indeed surprising enough.

James also appeared a little entangled at this time and did not make a choice immediately.

"LeBron, what's your last choice?"

Seeing that James was still reluctant to make a decision, Barkley urged him.

It was at this time that James once again showed his perfect personality and explained before choosing.

"This choice has nothing to do with who is better. My choice is for the balance of the two teams' lineups, so my choice is Giannis Antetokounmpo."

This result, coupled with this explanation, means that Antetokounmpo was chosen, but it seems that he was not chosen.

Because the implication of this statement is that he originally did not want to choose Antetokounmpo, but for the sake of balance in the lineup and in order to give Lin Ying a point guard, he reluctantly chose Antetokounmpo.

At this moment, Antetokounmpo must have had 10,000 grass and mud horses whizzing by, and he was a little disgusted.

But when Lin Ying heard the result, he laughed again.

And this time I was really happy.

James's choice can be said to be inevitable, because as a perfect person, he has too many things to consider.

First of all, James' attitude at this time must be, you see you don't have a defender yet, so I must leave this last defender to you.

This wave of passive moral kidnapping belongs to a perfect person.

Then there is Antetokounmpo. Judging from his appearance, James does not want to choose Antetokounmpo.

The reason is actually easy to guess, because of Antetokounmpo's previous stepping-stone incident.

Although James has done this matter intentionally or unintentionally, his personality does not allow this black spot, and he and his team have been denying it.

So if something like this happens to Antetokounmpo, even if it doesn't cause a large-scale sensation, he will definitely be able to avoid getting involved.

Then this is where Lin Ying's happiness lies.

He is no more interested in Giannis Antetokounmpo than James. After all, it is difficult for a player who relies on stepping in to achieve results time and time again to win the approval of his opponents.

And now, Antetokounmpo and James are on the same team.

Moreover, Antetokounmpo was disgusted by James.

He was really curious about what would happen to these two people who became teammates during the All-Star Game.

…

A few days after the NBA draft ended, the All-Star Game officially kicked off in Charlotte.
