The perfect life of basketball

Chapter 424 The 423 All-Star List Announced, Captain Selection Mode!

Even as an opponent, James, who was promoted by the league as another protagonist of "23vs24", was full of praise for Kobe's achievements.

"Kobe's achievements are really not surprising at all, if not the greatest scorer, he is certainly one of them.

I've always admired Kobe, who, like me, went straight to the NBA as a high school kid, and his poster was on the wall of my room. "

As a loyal fan of Kobe, Pacers star Paul George, who is still recovering from his injury, also has his own opinions on the two.

"Comparing anyone to Jordan is difficult. But I think it's fair to compare Kobe to Jordan. Like Jordan, Kobe affected the entire league in the same way."

For a while, the entire league was raving about Kobe!

After all, Kobe's "status in the rivers and lakes" is here, and it is difficult for the Lakers to pose a threat to many teams this season. Everyone knows that Kobe is highly praised.

The headline of the NBA on the second day was naturally Kobe's, "Miracle!"The news that Kobe's total score surpassed Jordan's and ranks third on the historical scoring list also spread throughout the world.

In the article, the media also revealed the reasons why Kobe was able to achieve this historical achievement.

There are many factors in media analysis.

Kobe has the most unparalleled skills today; he is a paranoid American patient; can stay healthy.This is Kobe, a guy who combines technology, paranoia, diligence and health. These factors play a vital role in Fei Xia's great career today, and they are indispensable.

Then, the media also analyzed that Kobe was in the Lakers and had excellent teammates for most of his career.When the partners around him can give him enough support, Kobe can naturally play more easily and efficiently.Being in a weak team, of course, can have more opportunities to fire, but it will also greatly reduce the offensive efficiency.

Finally, the media also made a prediction: Kobe's total score is expected to break 35000.

The mainstream media believe that after surpassing Jordan, Kobe's next major milestone is the 35000-point mark.According to the current scoring speed of Fei Xia, he is very hopeful to achieve such an achievement after the two-year contract expires.Even at the age of 36, Kobe's scoring speed has not shown any downward trend. So far this season, he has averaged 25.4 points per game, ranking fifth in the scoring list.

However, to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Malone, this not only requires Kobe to continue playing after the end of the contract, but also requires a certain amount of luck.But the media didn't say it dead, but gave such a conclusion:
Time will tell us the answer.

As soon as this report came out, in addition to Kobe's historical status greatly improved, his All-Star votes increased again and the previous voices that he should not be in the All-Star starter disappeared.

A few days later, on January 1, the starting lineup for the All-Star Game was officially announced. Ye Yingjie ranked first in the league with a record 23 million votes, beating James' 252 million votes, and was voted top for the third consecutive year.

What happened to James now is a bit like that of Durant in his previous life. He was overwhelmed by Ye Yingjie in various selections.

James' team is very anxious about James' current situation. If this continues, James' status without a championship will only get lower and lower, and the gap with Ye Yingjie will also grow wider.

In addition, although the Glory team helped Davis canvass votes, in the end his votes still did not surpass Durant, who ranked third in the frontcourt of the Western Conference. Unfortunately, he lost the starting lineup.

Davis is disappointed again!

But what comforts the fans is that Asik still announced his favorite actress with Davis.

A "brother with thick eyebrows" who is a network-synthesized female companion.

Emmm. . .Asik is good at playing!
Western starters: Curry (Warriors), Ye Yingjie (Glory), Kobe (Lakers), Durant (Thunder), James (Warriors).

Compared with last year, the personnel changes are still quite large, but if you consider that Harden replaced Kobe as the starter last year, it's okay, it's just that James replaced Griffin.

At the moment when the starting lineup was officially announced, Harden tweeted a tearful emoji!

If he was in the East, his votes would be safe to start, but unfortunately he is in the West in the purgatory mode. . .

Ye Yingjie immediately comforted Harden, and forwarded his tweet: "It's okay, James (Harden), everything is difficult at the beginning!"

"You mean it's difficult to be selected as the All-Star starter for the first time, but it will be easier later?" Harden asked immediately.

"Emmm... No, everything is difficult at the beginning, then difficult in the middle, and difficult at the end. I am encouraging you to persevere."

Harden: (／‵口′)/~╧╧
Compared with the little change in the west, the rhythm of the east is completely changing.

Eastern Conference starters: Wall (Wizards), Rose (Bulls), Wiggins (Cavaliers), Anthony (Knicks), Noah (Bulls);

Last year, the five All-Stars in the Eastern Conference, James and Howard traveled to the Western Conference, Paul George was still recovering from his injuries, and Wade generally did not get too many votes because of his declining state and the team's record.

The worst of them is Irving. Wiggins' strong rise has taken away the attention that originally belonged to him, resulting in a lot less votes for him.

Coupled with Wall's leap-forward performance and the comeback of the super-popular Rose, the hotshot Lowry's brilliant performance directly squeezed Uncle Drew to fourth in the backcourt of the Eastern Conference.

Although the Eastern Conference is relatively weak overall, the starters are not something anyone can make if they want to.

Immediately afterwards, a week later, on January 1, the All-Star bench lineup was also released.

The Atlanta Hawks in the East have Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap and Al Horford at the same time, while the West is led by Anthony Davis, James Harden, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

Final Eastern Conference All-Star bench: Jeff Teague, Al Horford, Paul Millsap (Atlanta Hawks), Irving (Cavaliers), Kyle Lowry (Raptors), Wade, Chriss - Chris Bosh (Heat).

Final Western Conference All-Star bench: Anthony Davis (Pride), James Harden (Rockets), Chris Paul, Blake Griffin (LA Clippers), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Klay Thompson (Warriors), LaMarcus Aldridge (Blazers).

The fans who have already criticized the strong west and the weak east feel that the All-Star game is even more boring when they look at the substitute lists in the east and west. The difference between the two sides is too big.

But this is not a problem for President Xiao Hua who worked in NBA Entertainment Company back then!

In the reform of the rules of the All-Star Game that was announced immediately, the captain selection mode has attracted the attention of fans!
