Chapter 760 Relationship is the last word

Before the start of the All-Star Game, the two captains must first choose their teammates.

This year is the first year of the All-Star selection process. The entire selection process is blocked from the outside world. Fans only know the final result.

The starting players of the Curry team are Antetokounmpo, Embiid, George, Rose, and the substitute players are Butler, Wiggins, Love, Lowry, Westbrook, Towns, Oladipo.

Durant's starting players are Irving, James, Harden, and the bench players are Leonard, Lillard, Aldridge, Kemba Walker, Dragic, Andre Drummond, Horford .

The fans didn't know what was going on, but on the special plane to Los Angeles, the Warriors learned the inside story of the selection from Curry.

This time the selection is completely out of the world. Curry first chose teammate Antetokounmpo, then Durant chose teammate Irving, then Curry chose his friend Rose, Durant chose third brother Harden, and then Curry chose Embiid, who is also under Under Armour, Durant re-elected James, who is also under Nike.

The last two remaining starters were Thick Eyebrow and George, who replaced Cousins ​​as the starter, so they were chosen randomly. Curry chose George, and Durant chose Thick Eyebrow.

The same is true for substitute selection. Durant was the first to choose teammate Leonard, then Curry chose teammate Wiggins, then Durant chose Love, and Curry chose his friend Butler... and so on and so on, until everyone All were picked away.

Curry then selected his former teammate Lowry. He has a unique skill, that is, he can make friends with every player who has been a teammate. No one doesn't like him.

Lowry only played for the Warriors for two years, but after leaving the Warriors, he has maintained a good relationship with Curry.

What's interesting is that Durant never chose Westbrook, and Curry didn't choose Westbrook either. After Durant selected all seven people, he picked Westbrook away.

According to Curry's explanation, he considered that Durant might ease the relationship with Westbrook by choosing Westbrook as his teammate. If he chose Westbrook in advance, it would destroy the chance for the two to reconcile.

But what he didn't expect was that Durant never chose Westbrook, and Curry chose Westbrook in the last place.

After everyone listened, they were all filled with emotion. The Thunder fans didn't have any hostility towards Durant anymore. They didn't expect that there was such a deep gap between Westbrook and Durant.

Fortunately, the selection process was not conducted in public, otherwise the last mvp of last season would be selected, and it would definitely be a laughing stock.

However, even though the league has taken confidentiality measures, after the announcement of the selection results, the fans still smelled a clue from the composition of the two pairs of players, and even some smart fans almost simulated the selection process, especially in the starting lineup. In terms of choice, there is no difference.

Huaxia fans are all stunned. It turns out that the relationship exists everywhere. The selection of NBA All-Stars is to choose those with close relationships first, and then select those with distant relationships. They are teammates in the league, and All-Stars are still teammates.

From this point of view, Huaxia has already grasped the original logic of the world's operation, and relationships are the last word!
……

On February 2, the All-Star Weekend officially began.

In the rookie challenge, the matchup between the world team and the US team became more and more boring, with no defense and honesty.

Jaylen Brown was very active and scored 26 points, but the World Team was crushed. Embiid, Sabonis, Simmons, and Markkanen crisscrossed the penalty area. The World Team beat the US team 155:124, Buddy Hill Germany scored 29 points and won the rookie challenge mvp.

Markkanen scored 15 points and Brogdon scored 11 points. They didn't play seriously and kept paddling.

The individual events on the second day were also very boring. The skills challenge, slam dunk contest, and three-point contest were all lackluster.

Dinwiddie won the skill challenge championship, Booker won the three-point contest championship, Bogdan was in poor condition and was eliminated in the first round, Mitchell replaced the injured Aaron Gordon in the dunk contest and won the championship — and the most underwhelming slam dunk contest winner in recent years.

The appetizers were getting boring, and discerning Los Angeles fans were drowsy, waiting for the big meal to be served.

On February 2th, the All-Star Game finally arrived, and the atmosphere at the Staples Center was much warmer than the previous two days.

This is the first time that the All-Star "friend team" has replaced the "regional team", and the confrontation will definitely be full.

No one took the All-Stars seriously before, but this time they must play seriously, otherwise they would lose the captain's face?

One side is Warriors + Bulls + Thunder + West, and the other is Celtics + Cavaliers + Rockets + East. Although there are only two Cavaliers + Rockets, this does not prevent the topic from being full.

Curry has grievances with James, Durant, and Harden. In other words, all the stars in this league have lost to Curry, and they all have grievances with him.

Westbrook and Durant brothers turned against each other; Butler and Leonard, Leonard and Wiggins' former incumbent battle; Irving and James became teammates again; Leonard vs. Warriors double star; Harden and Curry's mvp battle...

There are too many things to watch in this All-Star, which is dazzling, and many of them are related to Curry.

Curry is a symbol of this era. The Warriors ruled this era. Curry and every star have a lot of grievances.

People are looking forward to a battle of the century, sweeping away the tradition of the All-Star exhibition game, and doing it with real knives and guns. 24 stars go all out, which is the original intention of the All-Stars.

After the game started, the Curry team and the Durant team were indeed very gunpowder, but they were mainly concentrated on the Durant team. They were full of form at the beginning and went all out. Obviously, they were going to play seriously.

James finally got the chance to win Curry. His thick eyebrows are eager for every honor. The All-Star mvp is also his goal. Irving enjoys this kind of stage very much and wants to shine in the audience.

Only Harden still looked so slow, with sleepy eyes, dragging his legs through the half court, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

The Curry team also responded immediately. Antetokounmpo played every game seriously and never let go of water. Embiid came to the All-Star game for the first time and was very motivated.

But the biggest focus, Curry himself, just took the All-Star Game as a place to have fun, not serious at all.

After winning the All-Star MVP once, Curry has no motivation for the All-Stars. It doesn't matter whether he wins or not, the most important thing is to have fun.

Everyone else attaches great importance to the first All-Star after this reform, but Curry has only one goal, and that is the championship, and other things are not important.

Curry has such a personality. Only the championship can motivate him. He lacks interest in other "important" games, such as the Christmas game and the All-Star Game, and prefers to take a good rest or spend time with his family.

He grew up in such a good environment that he lacked nothing. He just wanted to prove himself with something truly valuable.

The same is true for this All-Star Game. Curry paddled all the way. The game was very exciting, but it had nothing to do with him.
