As January passed, the All-Star quota was officially determined. The Western Conference was led by Li Hao. The starters were Li Hao, Curry, Leonard, Durant and Davis, the thick-eyebrow brother.
The starters are all old acquaintances, and similarly, the bench lineup is also familiar. Westbrook and Harden have performed very well this season, but they can still only be used as substitutes.
Li Hao's appearance has the deepest impact on these two people, because according to the original situation, the two people will take turns to be the All-Star starters, but now the starting position is firmly occupied by Li Hao.
However, Li Hao deserves to be the All-Star starter, because his performance is more explosive than these two.
In addition to these two people, there are Thompson, Hayward, Cousins, Gasol and DeAndre Jordan.
The Eastern side is naturally led by James. The starting list is Irving, DeRozan, Butler, James, and Antetokounmpo. This is the first time Antetokounmpo has been selected to the All-Star.
The substitute list is Thomas, Lowry, Wall, Paul George, Kevin Love and Millsap.

Before participating in the All-Star Game, the Lakers still have seven games to play. The first game is a visit to Washington, the capital of the United States, to challenge the Wizards away from home.
The Wizards' performance this season is not bad. John Wall is at his peak. No, perhaps the final peak is more appropriate to describe it.
After this season, Wall signed a contract worth 170 million with the Wizards. It can also be seen from this contract that the Wizards hope to achieve something under the leadership of Wall.
But in fact, after this season, Wall fell into endless injuries. In the following seasons, his appearance rate never exceeded 50%, and his peak period was wasted.
Wall is at his peak, Bill has passed the training zone, and with Morris and Porter in their prime, the Wizards are not bad.
The game also proved this. Facing Wall at his peak, Li Hao was slightly limited in what he could do. It was under the leadership of Wall that the two sides were almost indifferent in the first half.
The Wizards, playing at home, took the lead, and Wall and Bill played strong starts to help the Wizards take the lead in the first quarter.
Not to be outdone, the Lakers took back the initiative in the second quarter. Li Hao hit three consecutive three-pointers to help the Lakers take the lead. At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by 2 points.
Wall continued to be strong in the third quarter, but it was a pity that Bill's touch fell back. However, the Lakers became more and more courageous under the leadership of Li Hao, with Wade and Warcraft taking over the game.
The role of Warcraft is not only in offense, but also in defense. In this game, the Wizards were almost locked inside by Warcraft alone. Especially in the third quarter, Gortat and Morris were defenseless and the Lakers also took advantage of the opportunity to expand their lead. Advantage.
With the advantage in the third quarter, the Lakers finally took away a victory from the away road 122:112, making a good start for February.
…………………………………………..
The Lakers did not stop in Washington. After winning the game, they immediately went to Boston. At the beginning of February, they played back-to-back away games.
At present, the Celtics have not completed a real reconstruction. Although Isaiah Thomas has performed very strongly this season, Li Hao, who has an eye in the sky, knows very well that the Celtics are still waiting for the son of destiny.
The Lakers once again took away an away victory. Although Thomas scored 30 points, it also took up a lot of the Celtics' shooting rights. You must know that under Li Hao's defense, Thomas was not very efficient.
As for the Lakers, Li Hao still had a very strong performance while limiting Thomas. Coupled with the outstanding performance of other Lakers players, this victory can be said to be quite satisfactory.
The Lakers had three days of rest after playing back-to-back games, and when Li Hao returned to Los Angeles, he was immediately recruited by Kobe to be a strong man.
Needless to say, after more than a month of training, Kobe has regained a lot of his form. Although he still can't beat Li Hao, the pressure on Li Hao is much greater than that of some of the Lakers' current players.
This is why a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

"Did you break up?" The real men's war ended, and the two of them lay directly on the floor to rest.
"How do you know?" Li Hao turned his head.
"Vanessa noticed you were in a bad mood at dinner yesterday, and you didn't pick up your phone all night," Kobe replied.
"Okay, I broke up. I broke up peacefully." Li Hao and Kim Seol-hyun broke up on the last day of January.
It is normal for young men and women to fall in love and break up, especially for long-distance relationships like Lee Ho and Kim Seol-hyun, who only see each other every few months.
It has been almost a year since the two officially dated in February last year, but they have not even met one-tenth of the time, and this less than one-tenth of the time is concentrated in a few meetings.
Under such circumstances, it is very rare for the relationship between the two to last for a year.
"Oh~~~The women in Los Angeles are going crazy," Kobe couldn't help but joked.
The Lakers' attendance this season has not been affected by Kobe's retirement, and has even become more popular. With Li Hao's super performance and the Lakers' excellent record, Lakers tickets are already in short supply.
And after Li Hao officially became the boss of the Lakers, more and more Chinese and Chinese fans came to Los Angeles to watch games at Staples Stadium. Even the sidelines of Staples Stadium have become a holy place for many Asian celebrities to check in.
From the beginning of the season to now, many Asian stars have come to watch games at Staples, with Chinese stars the most, but only a small number of these people have bought courtside tickets.
Some people who failed to buy tickets took the initiative to approach Li Hao. A small number of them had met with Li Hao, but most of them did not know each other.
For these people, Li Hao generally adheres to the principle of helping if he can. Anyway, it is easy for Li Hao to get two tickets, but it is only limited to two tickets, not more.
"I think nothing is more important than entering the playoffs now." This is what Li Hao said in his heart. In the first two seasons, it was because of Kobe's relationship, and he really needed to level up.
But things are different now. Kobe has retired and has become the boss of the team. He needs to prove his ability to lead the team to the management and the fans.
Furthermore, in the third year of entering the league, it is also time to feel the intensity of the playoffs. The NBA has always said that the playoffs are the real stage to test superstars.
"Based on the team's current record, as long as there are no major changes in the future, it should be fine." Based on the current situation, there is only one possibility to prevent the Lakers from entering the playoffs, and that is that the Lakers have extensive injuries, and they still have to Important players suffered extensive injuries.
In fact, there is another big change that Kobe said was that Li Hao was injured, but this situation is simply impossible to happen, and it is absolutely impossible to get injured by cheating.
