Vol 3 Chapter 96: Injustice

　
　
　　->　->　　 After the end of the game with the Warriors, the Thunder left Oakland and returned to Oklahoma.
　　 After this game, the players of An Luo can finally rest for a few days. Their next game will have to wait until four days later before heading to Utah again to challenge the Jazz away.
　　 However, although the Thunder have not played games these days, they have not calmed down. Especially Westbrook, he almost became the focus of the entire NBA in an instant.
　　The reason is because of this year's All-Star.
　　 On the starting list of the All-Star Game announced by the NBA, there is no name of the Thunder star Russell Westbrook. In the list, the five starting five in the West are Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kawaii Leonard, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis.
　　 According to the final voting results, Curry, Harden and Westbrook had the same total score, but the fans of Curry and Harden voted for the first and second Western guards, which caused Westbrook to be out.
　　 This announcement caused a sensation throughout the NBA. Westbrook lost the All-Star starter, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
　　 You know, Westbrook has always been the number one on the mvp list in the regular season. So far this season, Westbrook has averaged 34.6 minutes per game, 27.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 11.4 assists, not only ranking first in the assist list, but also ranking sixth in points and tenth in rebounds.
　　 such a player can't be selected as an All-Star starter. It is really puzzling.
　　 After the news was released, "Beach Sports" posted a very interesting picture on its own Twitter. In the picture, Westbrook is standing on the right side of the picture with a serious face, and his tight mouth makes him look a little serious, even a little angry. On the left side of the picture, there are two big numbers: 23 and 19.
　　 The number of triple-doubles this season, Russell Westbrook, 23 times; other All-Star starts, 19 times.
　　 Of course, personal data is not the only criterion for evaluating a player. But judging from the team's record, the Thunder are 32 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference and second in the league. Only 4 wins worse than the league's No. 1 Warriors.
　　 It can be seen that Westbrook’s ability to lead is no worse than Curry and Harden.
　　 But he just lost the election!
　　 The vast majority of players are arguing for Westbrook. Although the season is not over yet, his averaging triple-double may be almost a certainty. Everyone knows how difficult it is to enter such personal data. Throughout the decades of NBA history, only Oscar Robertson has achieved such an achievement. In addition, his per efficiency rating this season is also the league's first. What's more, it was obtained when the team has a very good record.
　　 "Sixth in points per game, first in assists per game, and triple-doubles per game are still not enough to be an All-Star starter, haha!" Nets point guard Jeremy Lin wrote on Twitter.
　　 At the same time, Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons also expressed similar views on Twitter: "Dude, averaging triple-doubles but missed the All-Star starting lineup is crazy."
Interestingly, when Clippers coach Doc Rivers was told by reporters that Westbrook did not make the All-Star start, he told reporters: "Fake news. I am shocked that the fans did not see what we saw. thing."
　　 There are still many people who complain about Westbrook, and even those who have retired celebrities have come forward to support Westbrook.
　　 Garnett directly angered the league in a show on tnt. He bluntly said that Westbrook's defeat was an unprecedented negligence in league history.
　　 However, for the large number of NBA fans, Westbrook is not so surprised that he lost. Of course, except for Oklahoma. In fact, Westbrook lost the election because the fans voted less than Harden and Curry.
　　 Curry has harvested a large number of fans over the years. And his biggest advantage is that he is closer to ordinary people. Imagine that he doesn't have the best physical fitness, but he can handle a bunch of strong guys, and even performs better than almost all players. It shows how difficult he is!
　　 Harden made the All-Star start, but there is nothing to say. Except for Westbrook, he is the most versatile guard in the league. Moreover, Harden averaged 30.8 points per game, ranking first in the league; moreover, he averaged 10.2 assists per game, second only to Westbrook.
　　 So, all the questions focused on Curry and Westbrook.
　　 I have to say that Curry's data has indeed fallen a lot because of Durant's joining this season.
　　 This is actually very interesting. When in the Thunder, Westbrook's data was not as strong as this season.
　　, of course, can’t explain anything! Again, there is only one ball. Without a superstar, the natural ball rights will be more concentrated. One more superstar will naturally make some necessary sacrifices.
　　 So ~EbookFREE.me~Westbrook's data is great enough. But Curry also deserves respect.
　　 For the two players involved, in fact, they don't really care about this matter.
"This is a big topic, because Harden and Westbrook have performed amazingly this year." Curry said of his selection to the All-Star starting lineup. "All-Star starting guards only have two positions. Unfortunately, , There is always someone who will lose. Four years ago, I was the one who lost. This is the situation. This year I can represent my team in the All-Star Game and serve as the starter. This is definitely something I am grateful for."
　　The thing that Curry said four years ago was the 2013 Houston All-Star Game. He regretted losing that year, and he was the only player to lose the All-Star scoring average of 20+. After knowing the result, the Warriors and tnt commentator Barkley all complained for Curry.
　　 did not belittle the opponent, and felt right about his selection.
　　 And Westbrook did not feel wronged either. At least in the conversation between An Luo and him did not find such a situation.
"They are all very good guys! Everyone knows this. It's a shame not to be selected as a starting player, but this is everyone's decision. Of course, All-Star Weekend is a very rare opportunity to be able to express yourself in it, I think I will definitely not miss it!"
　　 "Now, what I care most about is the game. We have experienced a lot of things this season and it looks good now. But we can do better! But that requires all of us to stay focused."
