Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1144 Alliance Invitation, New Competition System

Author: Pea of Justice

Because of the starting lineup, the substitute lineup doesn't get much attention.

Oh, no, the former Thunder's three young men attracted a lot of attention when they reunited on the bench in the Western Conference.

But the one who suffered the most was definitely Durant. Durant, who had been firmly positioned as the starting forward in the Western Conference in the first two rounds, was overtaken by Anthony in the last round, which can be called the worst representative of this All-Star Game.

There is no way, in fact, Durant's popularity is not bad. According to this time period in history, his popularity may not be able to suppress Durant, who has slowly reached his peak.

But in this life, Anthony is in Los Angeles, the largest ball market in the Western Conference, attracting countless fans. In comparison, Oklahoma is far behind.

Another unlucky guy was Rockets guard Jeremy Lin. He relied on Asian fans to trail Paul by only 50,000 votes in the second round of voting, and ultimately lost with 58,000 votes.

Many people think that with the advantage of home court, Jeremy Lin is expected to become the first yellow guard to be selected as an All-Star. However, the competition for guards in the Western Conference is too fierce. Westbrook and Parker cannot replace him.

This shows what?

It shows that the coaches in the league are still very measured...

Compared with the Western Conference, there is almost no controversy over substitutes in the Eastern Conference. There is no way, the Eastern Conference All-Stars are generally not as good as the Western Conference. Now except for the Heat and the Knicks, the All-Stars of other teams in the Eastern Conference feel unsatisfactory.

Otherwise, given Irving's current performance in leading the team, how could he be selected as an All-Star in the second year of his career.

On the other hand, no one said anything when Rose came off the bench. Although Rose was not seriously injured this season as in history, he was still affected by injuries. He was absent for a month due to injury. This is why he was overtaken by Curry in the vote.

But Rose himself didn't care. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Zuo Li. Because of this injury, the doctor checked his knees and found many hidden dangers of injuries, which also allowed him to reduce his playing time again and

He further developed his shooting and at the same time changed his style of play.

He has not forgotten that it was Zuo Li who reminded him two seasons ago that made him determined to make changes!

He is a little scared when he thinks about it now. If he doesn't change, but continues to rush and fight as usual, his data may be better, but it is more likely that he will suffer a serious injury. Whether he changes or not will not matter.

It's what he said.

This is why Ross completely introduced Zuo Li as his confidant. After all, he could give him advice at that time. Apart from a true brother, he couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.

Of course, Zuo Li doesn't know about these things at the moment. After all, Ross is a sullen type, so it is definitely impossible for him to say these things to Zuo Li.

Zuo Li actually didn't care. Being able to help Rose avoid that career-changing injury was also a fulfillment of some of his ideas from his previous life. After all, who doesn't want to see the rose fully bloom?

Of course, Rose's future development will be entirely up to him, after all, Zuo Li can no longer understand.

What Zuo Li couldn't understand was the format of this All-Star Game.

On February 2, the Knicks faced the Bucks at home.

This is the Knicks' first game in February and the sixth to last game before the All-Star break.

Early in the morning, Zuo Li was sitting on the sidelines discussing the tactical arrangements for the second half of the season with D'Antoni, when an uninvited guest came over.

To be honest, Zuo Li was confused when he saw alliance officials in Dolan's office.

"What do you mean...I'm going to give him an award!?"

Zuo Li really couldn't figure out the intention of alliance officials to come to him at this time.

But judging from the slightly flattering smile on the face of the man who calls himself Wells, there should be nothing good going on.

"I reject!"

Wells: “…”

"No, I haven't said it yet..."

"No matter what you say, I refuse!"

Zuo Li said resolutely that it was not a good thing to get involved with league officials. If it didn't work, he would be suspected of cheating. Who could he ask to reason with?

Don’t do it, don’t do anything!

"No, on behalf of the league, I invite you to become the head coach of the All-Star Rookie Game, and invite you to enter the three-point contest, dunk contest and skills contest!"

Seeing Zuo Li's resolute attitude, Wells stopped caring about keeping in touch with each other and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

Obviously, as this year's All-Star Game approaches, the league can't sit still.

There is no way, until today, Zuo Li has not expressed his intention to participate in individual competitions. On various occasions, Zuo Li has even expressed his intention not to participate in individual competitions.

Not only that, Zuo Li even expressed his intention to make a splash in the main game at the press conference after the last game.

That’s okay!

You must know that Zuo Li is the current pillar of the All-Stars. Since Zuo Li entered the league to participate in the All-Stars, the popularity of the All-Stars has been getting higher and higher year by year. Currently, the highest ratings of almost all projects are controlled by Zuo Li alone.

Last year, the ratings of the Shooting Star Competition even surpassed that of the Skills Competition.

The alliance can't wait for Zuoli to participate in every item, because it represents countless green dollars!

As long as Zuo Li is here, the advertising and broadcasting fees will be yours!

That’s why the alliance decided that if you don’t want to participate, then I will take the initiative to invite you to participate!

Zuo Li was speechless.

Who said you have to attend if you invite me...

Besides, what was Zuo Li participating in?

He has won the Grand Slam in individual competitions, won three consecutive championships in the dunk and three-point contests, won two consecutive championships in the skills competition, and even won the shooting star. There is nothing that attracts him anymore.

Besides, he has been participating, so how can others stand out? Give others a way to survive. It is not easy to become famous!

Besides, the so-called rookie game coach is the mascot. Barkley and O'Neal did a great job, why would he get involved.

As for the main game, having won three consecutive All-Star MVP awards, he doesn’t want to become the public enemy of the league’s stars, and there is no need to win too much of this honor. He might as well show it off and watch others compete for it.

So it is a pity that no matter what Wells said, Zuo Li refused to let go.

In the end, Wells left with regret.

Taking one step at a time and looking back three times is called reluctance.

But Zuo Li was unwavering. He had had enough of the busy All-Star weekend. This time, he wanted to experience something different.

…

As soon as Zuo Li refused here, the alliance over there got the news.

Stern can only lament that it seems difficult for this All-Star class to make any breakthroughs.

But it doesn't matter, Stern still has a way.

"Follow the plan and implement the new competition rules."

Stern immediately launched Plan B.

So the next day, the new rules for the All-Star Weekend came out.

Zuo Li looked at it and ignored it. After all, he was just a soy saucer, and it had little to do with him whether the rules should be changed or not.
