Vol 3 Chapter 417: Blazing all-star flame

The excitement of the Christmas War has not yet been eliminated, and another flame of the Alliance is burning.
　　 That is the All-Star.
　　 As early as two years ago, the NBA officially announced that the 2019 All-Star Game, which is the 68th All-Star Game, will be held at the Hornets’ home stadium Spectrum Center. As a city that has owned NBA teams for 30 years, Charlotte's status and exposure in the league is not high, and it has always been a little transparent. There is no way! The market is small, big-name players are reluctant to come, and they can't keep what they have cultivated. It's been twenty-eight years since the last time Charlotte hosted the All-Star Game. Over the years, Charlotte's NBA team has changed hands several times, and even the name has been changed several times.
　　 But this season, the Hornets are moving in a good direction. The team's star, Kemba Walker, has reached the pinnacle, and the more he plays, the better, and there is a vague tendency to compete for the first point guard in the East. Under his leadership, the Hornets have been in the top eight in the East. For the upcoming All-Star, Ku Mamba has a good chance of becoming the Eastern Conference starter.
　　 Before the official vote, all fans who follow the NBA began to discuss the possibility of an All-Star in this section.
　　 There is no doubt that Team LeBron VS Curry will be a thing of the past.
　　 After James joined the Lakers, his personal performance is still outstanding. This player, who has been called "the least potential in history", has been called by people for several years, and he is still at his peak. Whether it's physical or playing skills, it can crush 99.9% of the players in the league. It's terrible!
　　 Although James once again left Cleveland in the summer, this time, the fans did not hate him. Basically, everyone treats this matter with gratitude and blessings. Coupled with the blessing of the huge Los Angeles Lakers fan base, James became the Western Conference ticket king, and there is almost no big problem. Whether it is Curry or Durant, they are a bit worse. For the other Western Conference All-Stars, that's even worse.
　　 However, the injury in the Christmas War cast a shadow on James's All-Star trip this time. Although throughout his career, James has never been knocked down by a major injury. But after all, he is 34 years old!
　　 In addition to James is almost a certain starter, Durant and Curry should still be the starters. For the remaining two seats, the competition is not small! Harden, Paul George, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, these guys are well deserved. Even Anlow, Nicola Jokic, and Russell Westbrook all hope to compete. Of course, the chances of losing are not small.
　　 The situation in the east has also changed greatly. After Leonard joins the Raptors, there is no doubt that he will get an All-Star seat, and this seat is likely to be a starter. In addition, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid, Kemba Walker, Kyle Lowry, Blake Griffin, these guys are all capable Fighting for the starter.
　　 As for the Eastern vote kings, Irving and Antetokounmpo are the most likely to become the Eastern Kings after James. Irving has always been a very popular NBA star. Every year, he is almost the person closest to James. This year, the All-Star Game becomes Irving VS James, which is what many people want to see. As for Antetokounmpo, the "Greek monsters" have completely completed their evolution this season, leading the Bucks to become one of the teams with the most opportunity to break out of the East with their super personal ability. His explosive style of playing has been loved and sought after by countless people.
　　 For the Thunder players, whether they can continue last year's trio of All-Star selections is the most discussed matter. As the team's head star, Westbrook has always maintained a triple-double per game, and is the league's assists king, he can at least be selected to the All-Star. Besides, as a representative of tough guy players in the league today, Westbrook can play a more active role on the All-Star stage.
　　 The performance of Paul George and An Luo this year is much better than last year. The former, as several of the league's super strikers, looks handsome and has always had a huge fan base. Not to mention the latter. In terms of the number of supporters behind it, An Luo said second, no one dared to say first.
　　 However, the league’s reform of the All-Star starter selection made An Luo’s take off in situ to nothing. Two years ago, the league restructured the All-Stars. Starting from the 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game, fans only accounted for 50% of the votes, and the other 50% of the votes were divided between players and the media. In this way, the really powerful and popular superstars can become All-Stars.
　　 An Luo just missed the good time~EbookFREE.me~ If it were placed more than ten years ago, it would be different. Just like Yao Ming back then. In his rookie season, he squeezed out the best center of the league, O'Neal, and became the starting center of the Western Conference All-Star. Moreover, Yao Ming finally got 1.286 million votes, almost surpassing Kobe to become the Western vote leader. But three years later, that is, Yao Ming won the All-Star vote twice. While domestic fans expressed their love for Yao Ming with practical actions, they also taught the NBA a lesson. So when Yi Jianlian entered the NBA later, NBA officials didn't even dare to put his name on the list of candidates.
　　 Of course, An Luo's performance this season is enough to make him enter the All-Star Game. As the second-ranked player in the league in scoring and seventh in steals, if the team's record is at the top of the league and cannot be recognized by fans, players and the media, then the NBA All-Star is meaningless.
　　 Personally, he is still very interested in the All-Stars. The All-Star can be considered a more important honor. Although participating in the All-Star Game will make the players more tired, and often the time of the All-Star happens to be during the Spring Festival, unable to better accompany their families. But the All-Star Game will become a very important basis for evaluating a player's historical status. All historical stars are regulars of the All-Stars.
　　 Of course, it was a long time later. Right now, for An Luo, being selected as an All-Star can get a very substantial income. The bonus clause attached to his sneaker contract includes the All-Star Game. Moreover, his first-generation signature shoes are already on the market. At that time, An Luo is wearing his signature shoes and standing on the All-Star arena to score points, which is undoubtedly the perfect way to promote.
