Chapter 1413 Xiang Long Selected as an All-Star
Entering February, the results of the All-Star voting are officially released.

The Eastern All-Star starting players are not surprising. Meng Yun, Durant, and Antetokounmpo are the few "unsolvable players" in the league. They divided up the three seats without any suspense. Once became the Eastern Conference ticket king.

In addition to the three of them, the other two Eastern Conference All-Star starters are Irving and Embiid.

After all, Xiang Long still failed to enter the Eastern All-Star starting lineup, but based on his performance this season and the record of the Heat, it should not be a big problem to enter the All-Star bench.

There have always been two biggest influencing factors in the selection of All-Stars, one is the individual performance of the players, and the other is the team's record.

So in the past, some players performed well individually, but because the team's record was not good enough, it is not surprising that they missed the All-Stars in the end.

However, this season, Xiang Long's personal performance and team record are sufficient, and he almost squeezed out Embiid. He was selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star starter, and it is not difficult to enter the All-Star bench.

As for the West, several All-Star starters are James, Davis, Leonard, Harden, and Doncic.

At the same time, Meng Yun was once again honored as the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference. With his average performance of 28.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game, he won the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive months. good player.

A few days later, the All-Star substitute lineup was announced.

Xiang Long appeared in the East All-Star bench list and was selected to the All-Star lineup for the first time.

In addition to Xiang Long, the other six All-Star bench players in the East are Kemba Walker, Ben Simmons, Khris Middleton, Pascal Siakam, Zach LaVine, Trey Young .

The West All-Star bench players are Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Nikola Jokic, Russell Westbrook, Brandon Ingram, Jimmy - Butler, Rudy Gobert.

After hearing the news, Meng Yun immediately called Xiang Long: "Xiang Long, congratulations on being selected as an All-Star, haha, I have already said that we will be on the All-Star stage together one day. How about it? Am I right?"

On the phone, although Xiang Long's voice was as cold as usual, Meng Yun could still hear a hint of excitement: "Well, I finally made it to the All-Star. Although I am a substitute, I am also an All-Star. This has always been my dream Meng Yun, thank you."

"Thank you for what I'm doing." Meng Yun smiled and said, "You did it with your strength. I've already left the Heat, so it has nothing to do with me."

"No, it does matter, if not"

"Okay." Meng Yun interrupted, "How did you become a mother-in-law today? Isn't it just to be an All-Star? It's actually not a big deal. You'll know after you experience it a few times."

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Long didn't speak for a while.

Xiang Long was selected to the All-Star for the first time, while Meng Yun was selected to the All-Star for the fifth time. He was selected to the All-Star five times in the five years in the NBA, so Meng Yun dared to say that being an All-Star is not a big deal.

But, why does it sound so awkward.

The two chatted for a while, agreed to meet at the All-Star weekend, and then hung up.

This time Meng Yun will only participate in the All-Star Game, not in any of the individual events. He has already won two slam dunk contests and one three-point contest. It's also fun to relax, and you can take a rest.

"Take it as a trip this time." Meng Yun said to himself with a smile.

He has been selected as an All-Star for five consecutive years, and he has won all the honors that should be won during the All-Star Weekend. In addition to the slam dunk champion, the three-point champion, and the rookie game mvp, the All-Star game mvp, Meng Yun has no shortage of them. The allure of stardom is not so great anymore.

But for Guo Shuyao and Guo Hai, they still feel very excited. The All-Star Weekend is approaching, and they start to prepare.

The Nets' last game before the All-Star break is against the Spurs.

Generally, games close to the All-Star Weekend will not be very exciting, because those who want to participate in the All-Star Weekend are all focused on the upcoming All-Star Weekend, some players who do not participate will also go, and some take advantage of this time to rest , spend time with family, relax, and don’t have much thought about playing games.

Even the attention of the fans at this time has shifted to the upcoming All-Star Weekend, so the games approaching the All-Star Weekend will become very dull.

The Nets won the game easily, beating the Spurs 120:110.

Although the Spurs have two former All-Star players, DeRozan and Aldridge, their performance in the Spurs is actually not satisfactory, and they have not reached what an All-Star player should be at all.That is to say, if Master Popovich is still there, the Spurs can rank among the top eight in the Western Conference.

In this game, Meng Yun scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 14 assists. Because there were not many twists and turns in the game, he played very easily, passing the ball to his teammates most of the time.

After the game, Popovich chatted with Meng Yun for a while.

The old man took Meng Yun's hand and sighed for a while. The old man admired Meng Yun since before Meng Yun entered the NBA. He once wanted to get Meng Yun to the Spurs, but he failed in the end.

Seeing Meng Yun's current achievements and such strength, and thinking of the current predicament of the Spurs, the old man could only secretly say "it's a pity".

November 2, Chicago.

This All-Star Weekend will be at Chicago superstar, home of the Bulls.

The games of the All-Star Weekend are on the 15th-17th. Meng Yun arrived in Chicago one day earlier, and Guo Shuyao, Guo Hai, and Liu Qin were with him.

As soon as he arrived in Chicago, Meng Yun received a call from LaVine.

Chicago is LaVine's place, and it is also the host of this All-Star, and LaVine is also selected as an All-Star for the first time. It can be said that this All-Star Weekend is very commemorative for him.

Since Meng Yun suggested that LaVine persuaded the team to sign Paul or Rondo, the relationship between LaVine and Meng Yun has become better, and with the arrival of the new season, the Bulls successfully ranked among the top eight in the Eastern Conference. This time, LaVine was successfully selected as an All-Star, and LaVine was even more enthusiastic about Meng Yun.

A few days in advance, Lavin called Meng Yun and asked Meng Yun to call him when he arrived in Chicago, and he wanted to take Meng Yun to have a good time.

Lavin was very enthusiastic. He took Meng Yun, Guo Shuyao and others for a walk in Chicago and invited everyone to dinner. The host did a very good job.

However, Meng Yun came only two days early, and after playing for a day, the All-Star Weekend came.
