After the All-Star main game roster was announced, the substitute lineup came.
It can be clearly noticed that Aldridge, Lillard, and Batum are all starting to get nervous.
Faced with the temptation of the All-Star Weekend, even Batum, who has the smallest chance, can't help but have wild thoughts.
Eastern Conference substitute lineup (7 players in total): Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers, Holiday of the Chaos, Tyson Chandler of the Knicks, Bosh of the Heat, Paul George of the Pacers and Joe Biden of the Bulls
Kim Noah and Luol Deng.
There are also 7 people in the West: Westbrook of the Thunder, James Harden of the Mosaics, Duncan and Parker of the Spurs, Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, Zach Randolph of the Grizzlies and Clippers.
Griffin.
It is worth mentioning that Jeremy Lin ranked third among Western Conference guards in the All-Star voting, and the gap between him and Paul was extremely small.
It is a pity that his popularity has not translated into the trust of the coach. Although the All-Star Team is playing at home, Jeremy Lin still missed the All-Star Game.
In the end, as the home team of the Houston Mosaics, only Harden entered the All-Star Game. This was the first time in Harden's career that he was selected to the All-Star Game, making him the 15th player in team history to enter the All-Star Game.
The support rate of the "bearded ball player" in the previous fan voting was not very high, and the number of votes he received was even lower than that of his teammate Jeremy Lin.
But many experts in the industry believe that in terms of performance on the court alone, Harden deserves to be selected for this year's All-Star lineup.
"This is a great honor and an overwhelming honor. I have to thank my teammates and the coaching staff for helping me get on the right track to success."
Harden, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time, expressed his excitement in an interview with the media.
There are many new faces in this year's All-Star list, most of which are concentrated in the Eastern Conference, such as Chandler of the Knicks, Holiday of the Chaos team, Noah of the Bulls, Irving of the Cavaliers, and Paul of the Pacers.
George, etc., were all selected to the All-Stars for the first time in their careers.
On the other hand, the Western Conference, which is generally considered to be stronger, has mostly old faces. The only two All-Star recruits are the star "bearded" James Harden from the host Mosaic team, and the other is the main center of this season's dark horse team, the Pacers.
Wang Zelin.
Among the playoff teams in the East and West, none of the Nets, Hawks, Bucks, Nuggets and Jazz have players selected to the All-Stars.
When the Eastern and Western All-Star rosters were announced, all playoff teams were extremely afraid of the Miami Heat.
During this All-Star Weekend, the Heat became the biggest winner. With James and Dwyane Wade, the Big Three substitutes all qualified to enter Houston. This is the only team in the league with three All-Stars selected.
The defending champion is so scary.
…
"LaMarcus, congratulations on being selected as an All-Star again!"
"Speaking of which, this is my first time being selected as an All-Star. You have to take care of me then."
Wang Zelin and Aldridge enthusiastically high-fived, celebrating the latter becoming an All-Star with him.
"Actually, there's nothing to bring. All-Star Weekend is just an entertainment show. It's just a gathering for everyone to relax. Just don't be too formal."
Aldridge shared his many years of All-Star experience with Wang Zelin.
There was one more thing he didn't say.
As Wang Zelin is a newcomer, he may only have very little playing time in the main game.
As the two encouraged each other and celebrated, Lillard looked a little disappointed.
Batum is better, he is self-aware and knows that his chances of entering the All-Star Game are very slim, so he is mentally prepared.
It's Lillard instead.
In his mind, he believes that his personal statistics are not much worse than Paul and Westbrook, and the team's record is similar.
But he couldn't get in.
Fortunately, Lillard quickly adjusted his mood.
"Since you can't make it this year, then keep up your efforts and strive to perform as impeccably as a king tomorrow..."
Thinking of this, Lillard couldn't help but set his sights on Wang Zelin.
22.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks!
Lillard, who is a self-proclaimed genius, is indescribably shocked when he thinks about the performance of his teammate next to him.
There is such a monster among the players of his generation. He really doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Fortunately, this monster is his teammate!
"Damien, don't be dazed. It doesn't matter if you can't make the All-Stars this time. As long as the two of us lead the team to the league's best record next season, no one will dare to stop you."?
"If we can't make it to the All-Star Game, won't there be a rookie game? Then we can still fight side by side and beat the sophomores..."
Wang Zelin patted Lillard on the shoulder and said carelessly.
"Um!"
After coming back to his senses, Lillard regained his mood and joined the team in training.
The Trail Blazers and Clippers have another battle tonight!
…
"Sima Wei has locked in the Western Conference All-Star coach and will be elected for the third time in his career!"
"The Platinum Generation, led by James, Anthony, Wade, and Bosh, has begun to take charge of the league!"
"The best backcourt combination: Paul Kobe!"
"The Black Mamba has been selected to the All-Stars for 15 consecutive times, surpassing his former teammate Shaq and rising to the top in history!"
"Chinese youngster Wang Zelin was elected as the voting king, and the fans complained that Yao Ming entered that year!"
"..."
While the Clippers and Trail Blazers are actively preparing for tonight's game, many media, professional basketball commentators, senior fans, etc. have begun heated discussions about this year's All-Stars.
After landing in Los Angeles, Wang Zelin received a call...it was Zhou Yang.
"Zelin, congratulations on winning the All-Star vote and being selected as an All-Star..."
As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Yang immediately started talking.
"Stop, stop, stop, Uncle Zhou, you suddenly called me and you have nothing else to do except congratulations...for example, money!"
When talking about money, the corners of Wang Zelin's mouth turned up slightly.
"You're really just a fan of small money. No, you should be a fan of big money. You make the most money among the rookies in the same class, and you are still making money every day."
After talking for a long time, seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Zhou Yang coughed twice and said slowly: "Actually, there is indeed one endorsement. Among the recent endorsement invitations, the one with the most money is from the Jisbon Group.
…”
James Bond...gold lasts forever!
Wang Zelin cursed, remembering some bad memories.
"Could it be that the Jasper you are talking about is about pregnancy..."
"Yes, have you ever used it?"
"How is that possible? I don't need that thing, return it!"
"But they can give you a lot, so do they really no longer think about it?"
"No, that's it. I have a game later, so I'll hang up now."
Through Zhou Yang's simple description, Wang Zelin quickly confirmed that it was the Jieshi Bang.
