Charlotte fans are also extremely excited.

Charlotte originally had the opportunity two years ago, but unfortunately at that time due to the homo-political correctness conflict in North America, the right to host the event was eventually cancelled.

Now Charlotte has canceled that clause, and the NBA has made up for it in time.

Coincidentally, this is the best season in the history of the Hornets.

Even the head coach of this year's Eastern Conference team is Borrego of the Hornets.

The weather, the right location, the right people, everything is on point.

Lin Ying was called to Charlotte by Durant two days in advance, and the latter happily came to him for a drink.

Durant also spent some time and rented the top floor of the highest-floor hotel in Charlotte, brought Randy Williams or Abrams over, and then called a few bartenders.

Well, I only drink with serious people.

Now, Lin Ying has a family, and Durant already has a girlfriend and a child. In addition to playing basketball, the rest is their family.

Although Williams and Abrams no longer play basketball, one is Durant's brand manager and the other is a core member of Lin Ying's team, and they both have families and careers.

They have gone from being young teenagers to being in their thirties.

Speaking of which, the last time they got together to play like this was when they won the NCAA championship.

So a group of people also enjoyed eating and drinking.

After they got a little drunk, Lin Ying and Durant went outside to the balcony to sit and chat while enjoying the breeze.

Durant was full of pride and kept telling interesting stories from the NCAA period.

Every one of his body language reveals a message: he is very happy now, happier than ever before.

"Shadow, do you still remember what you said the most during your NCAA days?"

Durant can really recall.

"Stop watching?"

Lin Ying looked at Durant. Durant liked to look at those messy things the most when he was in college.

"...No, what impressed me the most was what you said, when you were at your most glorious."

Lin Ying reacted immediately after hearing this, and then laughed.

He probably already guessed what Durant was going to say.

"My most glorious moment is now."

Durant said as he picked up the cigar and took a puff, then looked at the sky at an angle of 45°. It was full of fishy smell.

Lin Ying laughed loudly after hearing this.

Human desires are never satisfied.

Before going to the Nets, all Durant wanted was to win a championship, but now what he wants is to have both a championship and a core position.

There is nothing right or wrong in this, because this is a process of people constantly satisfying themselves.

"No."

However, after Lin Ying finished laughing, he denied Durant's words.

Durant turned his head back and looked at Lin Ying doubtfully.

"After you win this MVP."

Lin Ying continued.

Durant laughed instantly and then patted Lin Ying's shoulder hard.

Lin Ying is indeed his good brother!

In this All-Star Game, he really has no reason not to win the MVP, and he knows that Lin Ying will also help him.

"Shadow, I'm really looking forward to our meeting in the playoffs this time."

After Durant finished laughing, he looked at the stars again, his eyes full of longing.

I think he and Lin Ying were rivals when they were still in the Western Conference. At that time, meeting Lin Ying in the playoffs was a must-do every year.

Even though we didn't meet each other most of the time, that's when his nickname of "Old Flag-Planting General" came from.

But he believes he will do it this time, because in his opinion, the Raptors and Bucks are still worse than them.

This year's Eastern Conference Finals will be the stage for him and Lin Ying.

He didn't even consider victory or defeat that important, he just wanted to have a vigorous fight with Lin Ying.

"Yes."

Lin Ying was also the rare one who did not refute Durant.

He also thinks the same as Durant.

Durant this season is something he has never seen not only in this life, but also in his previous life.

And actually speaking of it, the fans have more expectations for four consecutive championships instead of four consecutive championships, so he didn't care that much about what he said.

After all, when you have enough honors, the honor itself is no longer so attractive.

Only when you ask for something and don't get it, will you be extremely eager, just like James is doing now.

So fighting Durant for 800 rounds? That is what is even more exciting.

…

Two days later, the All-Star Game officially kicked off.

It is worth mentioning that this year's official All-Star roster has two alternates, Wade in the East and Nowitzki in the West.

Before the start of this season, both Wade and Nowitzki had stated that this was the last season of their careers.

So during the voting, their votes made it into the starting lineup in both the East and West.

Just because they received very low votes in the players' vote, they were not allowed to start in the end.

This has caused some doubts about the league's new rules. Many people feel that the All-Star Game is essentially for fans to see the stars they want to see.

But this time they selected what they wanted to see, but they couldn't see it.

But because this is a special case, after all, two super giants retired at the same time and could not enter the starting lineup at the same time, and they caught up with this new rule.

In the end, the league added two additional rosters for the East and West.

This wave of additions has also earned Tatum and the league critical acclaim.

And Nowitzki also participated in the three-point shooting contest after many years.

Therefore, this All-Star Game also continues the emotional elements of last season.

Of course, the highlight of this All-Star Game is the main game on the last day.

This game was as entertaining as fans expected.

At the end of the three quarters, the point difference between the two teams remained in single digits, and Lin Ying's team really led James' team 120 to 115.

Then in the fourth quarter, the two teams started to really fight.

The James team played very confrontationally from the beginning, and the fans enjoyed watching it.

Moreover, the lineup of Leonard, Antetokounmpo, James, and Davis puts a lot of defensive pressure on them, and even Lin Ying cannot score easily.

The game went on until the last minute, and just as the fans were expecting, the familiar Texas Twins came online!

First, Lin Ying defended James one-on-one and successfully interfered with the latter's perfect shot.

Then Durant finally received Lin Ying's pass and faced Leonard's defense to complete the victory!

Lin Ying's team finally defeated James' team 144 to 140 and won the final victory!

The final All-Star Game MVP went to Durant, who scored the highest score of 36 points!

As Lin Ying said, this is the most glorious moment in Durant's life!
Chapter completed!
