After the starting lineup for the All-Star Game was announced, it was time for the substitute lineup.
Everyone could clearly notice that Aldridge, Lillard, and Batum began to look nervous.
Faced with the temptation of the All-Star Weekend, even Batum, who has a slim chance of being selected, 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 of the Bulls Kim Noah and Luol Deng.
There are also 7 people in the Western Conference: Westbrook of the Thunder, James Harden of the Mosaic, 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 in the Western Conference in voting for the All-Star starting lineup, and the gap with Paul is very 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, only Harden of the home team Houston Mosaics 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 "bearded ball player" did not have a very high support rate in the previous fan voting session, not even as good as his teammate Jeremy Lin. However, many experts in the industry believe that Harden should be selected for this year's All-Star lineup based on his on-court performance alone.
"This is a great honor and an overwhelming honor. I have to thank my teammates and coaches 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 from the host Mosaic team's star "bearded" James Harden and this season's dark horse team Pacers' main center Wang Zelin. .
Among the playoff teams in the East and West, the Nets, Nuggets and Cavaliers, none of the teams had any players selected to the All-Stars this episode.
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. When James and Wade started, the Big Three substitutes all qualified to enter Houston. This is the only team in the league with three All-Stars.
The defending champion is so terrifying.
…
"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 high-fived enthusiastically, celebrating the latter joining him in the All-Star Game.
"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 a newcomer, Wang Zelin may 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 probability of entering the All-Star Game is very slim. He is mentally prepared for it.
It was Lillard instead.
In his mind, he believes that his personal data is 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 achieve the best record in the league 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 the two of us can still fight side by side and beat the sophomores..."
Wang Zelin patted Lillard on the shoulder and said carelessly.
"Um!"
After regaining consciousness, 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 begins to take charge of the league!"
"The strongest backcourt: Paul + Kobe!"
"The Black Mamba has been selected for the 15th time in a row, surpassing his former teammate Shaq to become the first All-Star in history!"
"Chinese youngster Wang Zelin was elected as the top vote-getter, and fans complained about Yao Ming's inclusion in the starting lineup 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 the All-Star starter..."
As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Yang immediately answered the call.
"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 among my classmates, and you are still making money every day."
After talking for a long time, seeing that the other end of the phone was silent, Zhou Yang coughed twice and said slowly: "Actually, there is indeed one endorsement. Among the recent endorsement invitations, the Jiashibon Group has given the most money... "
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 thank you!"
Through Zhou Yang's simple description, Wang Zelin quickly confirmed that it was Jieshi Bang.
If you can't afford it, run away!
