This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 495: Sports without borders

At the moment when the results were announced, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

All four on the show acted in disbelief and fell into a long silence.

They do it for show, but the fans really don't know what to say at this moment.

James, really missed the All-Star starter!

James entered the league in 2003, and he failed to make the All-Star Game in his rookie season.

But since his sophomore year, starting with the 2005 All-Star Game, he's been an All-Star starter and has been for the past decade.

But now this record is over.

And it was at the peak of his career.

It's just, incredible.

In Lin Ying's house, the three also looked at each other for a while.

In the end, Durant jumped up and shouted excitedly, and even startled Xiaolin Yi.

Lin Ying came back to his senses when he heard Durant's shout.

James really lost!

Although it was the result of all of them working together, the result was a little too magical.

"Shadow, Nikolai, let's go and celebrate!"

Durant yelled.

The coolest person in this wave is not Jokic, because Jokic's desire is actually not high, and the coolest person is him!

He finally made those James fans uncomfortable!

Lin Ying also got up with a smile, greeted Swift, and said that she would definitely come back at night, and then took them out.

When he went out, he also called Su Feng, and then called his teammates in Brooklyn one by one to go to the bar together.

Jokic was elected to the All-Star starter for the first time in his career, and even three members of the Nets were elected to the All-Star starter. This should be celebrated.

Just when Lin Ying took Durant and Jokic to the bar, social media had exploded.

"So Jokic is stronger than LeBron? What is the significance of the All-Star?!"

"Ugly All-Star, and Lowry has more votes than Irving, and the second-placed Cavaliers in the East don't have a single player to start? Isn't it funny?!"

"I think the NBA has turned sour, no wonder it will never compare to the NFL, it's not a fair sports league at all!"

At this time, the Cavaliers fans can be considered refreshing, because just like Lin Ying and the others, the Nets fans are celebrating right now, who else is using social media!

And the result has been decided, even if the social media is paralyzed, the result cannot be changed.

Some were happy and some were sad, some were angry and some were happy, and the night was very chaotic.

Then after such a chaotic night, the league announced an important decision the next day.

Beginning next season, the All-Star Game will no longer be decided by fans alone, but by the media and players with 50% each.

In other words, even if it is the top vote of the fans, it is not necessarily guaranteed to enter the starting lineup of the All-Star Game.

It's kind of like a civil service interview where you have to rank high in both rounds of interviews to get selected.

Fans' comments on social media certainly cannot prompt the league to make such a reform. The bigger reason is that some teams have protested to the league.

And the scale of the protests is definitely not small, which made the alliance in such a hurry to formulate a response policy.

After all, this year, Jokic, Pachulia, Kanter, and Lin Ying's unshakable voting king status made the All-Star voting mechanism very confusing.

This is no longer something that can be solved by changing a ratio or by unifying a standard.

Therefore, the alliance uses a financial analogy. To avoid the collapse of this market, the introduction of a new market will alleviate the problem to a great extent.

It has also proven to be effective, and fans and teams are satisfied with such a scheme.

Although the number of players is much smaller than that of the fan base, as participants in the league, their judgment of performance is more objective.

Predictably, next year's All-Star voting is going to be a lot of fun.

But those are all things for next year, and this year, Nets fans will definitely die.

Three voted starters, which directly made NBA history!

This is the Nets against the Western All-Stars, full of sense of substitution!

Even some fans are overjoyed, wondering if there will be any surprises on the bench list in the future, the Nets can make four All-Stars!

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and the All-Star Game substitute list and the list of individual competitions have all been released.

Fans didn't find a fourth Nets player on this list, because the Nets' configuration simply couldn't have a fourth.

However, fans were surprised to find that Jokic will be a super busy man in this year's All-Star Game.

Because in addition to participating in the All-Star Game, he also has to participate in the Rookie Challenge, the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Shootout.

This little fat man wants to make Toronto his own show!

If it weren't for the bouncing, he would have gone to the slam dunk contest as well!

*A partial list of the All-Star Game is attached

Western Substitutes: Paul, Harden, Thompson, Draymond Green, Aldridge, Anthony Davis, Cousins;

Eastern Substitutes: Irving, Wall, George, DeRozan, James, Anthony, Howard;

Skills Challenge: DeMarcus Cousins, Draymond Green, Jokic, Towns, Isaiah Thomas, CJ McCollum, Wall, Corey Joseph;

Three-point shooting contest: Thompson, Curry, Harden, Lowry, Devin Booker, Jokic, JJ Redick;

Slam Dunk Contest: Zach LaVine, Aaron Gordon, Towns, Will Barton;

Just looking at this list, you know that this year's All-Star Game will be very exciting.

And Jokic is really busy this year. He will encounter Green in the skill challenge, and the three-point shooting contest is the only big man in the competition.

You don't need to guess to know that the little fat man must have been half-coerced to participate.

But there's another big thing going on in this year's All-Star Game.

On the first day of the All-Star Game, the same day as the All-Star Rookie Game, the league will hold the 2016 NBA Hall of Fame ceremony.

This year's Hall of Fame lineup is very luxurious, many of which are familiar to fans.

O'Neal, Maddie and Iverson.

For many fans, this is the youth of a generation.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the eve of the All-Star Weekend.

At this time, the alliance pattern has begun to appear.

In the West, the Warriors 48 wins and 4 losses disdain the entire league.

The win was also a record, and they became the only team in NBA history to win 48 before the All-Star break.

The Spurs are second with a 44-8 record.

The Spurs didn't attract much attention because the Warriors were too experienced, but they actually had the best record in franchise history before the All-Star Game.

According to this performance, they are also very likely to refresh the best record in team history.

The Lakers are third with a 41-11 record.

Despite consecutive losses to the Warriors and the Nets, their performance this season is significantly better than the past few seasons.

The Clippers are fourth with a 36-15 record.

The arrival of Deron has significantly improved the strength of the Clippers, and Claude's role has also been ignored, and Harrell has also performed well on the bench.

The original three-way deal, now it seems that only the Thunder is losing.

The Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and Thunder are ranked five to eight.

On this side of the East, the Nets are No. 1 with a 45-7 record.

Although it is not as dazzling as the Warriors' record, considering that the Nets lost 2 games in the first 7 games, this is amazing enough.

The Cavaliers are second with a 40-13 record.

Although they performed well at the start, Love's weight loss has become their biggest problem.

That might help them when they face the Warriors again in the Finals, but the question is how to get past the Nets first and foremost right now.

The Raptors are third with a 38-15 record.

The Celtics are fourth with 36 wins and 17 losses.

The Eagles, Hornets, Heat, and Hornets ranked fifth to eighth.

It is worth mentioning that there have been some discordant factors in the Pacers team. George and Hibbert have had conflicts before over the issue of who to find a woman first. Now that the era of small ball is coming, Hibbert is struggling. The conflict further intensified.

Coupled with the team's poor record, the Pacers have put Hibbert on the shelf.

It's been a pretty bad season for Indiana fans.

The day before All-Star Weekend, Lin Ying, Durant, Jokic and Joseph traveled to Toronto together.

Because this time they went to Canada to participate in the competition, Swift and Kobayashi did not go with them.

They arrived in Toronto in the morning, and in the afternoon, except for Joseph who stayed at the hotel, everyone else was arranged to attend the fan event.

The All-Star Game in Toronto is special. All the players selected for the main game will appear at the fan event every day.

The event was arranged outside the Canadian Airline Center Stadium, home of the Raptors.

When they arrived, the event site was already crowded with people.

Although Canada's population is not large, the number of fans in a country must be gathered together.

Before the start of the event, there is an appearance ceremony. The players will be introduced to the stage one by one, and the fans will be greeted first in a row.

Lin Ying was the last to appear.

When he took the stage, he attracted a lot of excitement from the fans.

He is now the No. 1 player in the league, and Canada, as the "Far East Province" of the United States, knows him about the same as North American fans.

Durant leaned close to Lin Ying very earnestly, they were the Texas Twins and wanted to get close.

"LeBron didn't come, it is said that he is not feeling well."

After getting close, Durant said immediately.

As soon as Durant said that, Lin Ying looked to the side, but he really didn't see James.

"Unfortunately, I originally wanted to see his expression this year."

Durant continued.

Lin Ying coughed dryly for a while, which was too bad.

After the meeting, it was followed by a series of activities such as interacting with fans, and then participating in press conferences.

Somewhat surprisingly, Jokic is very popular here, and there are even fans who make up themselves as "clowns" and take photos with Jokic.

Lin Ying and Durant were taken aback by this.

Do Canadians like fat people?

And Jokic also had a good time. In the end, he asked the female fans to put a clown makeup on himself on the spot.jpg.

Then, the fans on his side exploded.

How to be happy and how to play, Jokic has always pursued his own philosophy of life at this point.

After the event, they attended a press conference together.

Jokic was wearing a clown makeup at this time, which also made him the focus of reporters' questions.

At first, the reporters focused on his makeup, but then slowly turned back to his selection as a starter.

Jokic also revealed his true feelings on this occasion.

"I only got into basketball when I was 14, and I really didn't think I would one day be an NBA All-Star starter. It was like a dream."

Lin Ying and Durant on the side laughed after hearing this, and Lin Ying couldn't help shaking his head.

He knows that Jokic is a good boy, but he started playing basketball at the age of 14 and was elected as an All-Star starter at the age of 20. It sounds so fishy.

"I don't think I have the strength to be an All-Star starter, but I'm lucky, I played with the best basketball players in the world when I entered the league, and this season I played with the best teams in the world. , and it's not just basketball, I honestly don't know why I'm so lucky."

Jokic's words drew laughter and applause from the audience.

It's a humble answer, and it's also kind of cute.

Especially with that clown face, the contrast is full.

Then, when he finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lin Ying.

"Lin, can I ask why you take so much care of me?"

Lin Ying was a little surprised by this question.

It seems that Jokic is also suspicious.

Kukoc was a big fan of Jordan back then, but Jordan didn't treat him so well!

If you say it's because of the difference in character between Lin Ying and Jordan, it can't be fully explained. After all, Lin Ying is not so good to other rookies.

After Jokic asked, the reporters also looked at Lin Ying.

This is indeed an interesting question.

Of course Lin Ying couldn't say that because I opened my eyes and knew that you were an MVP-level player in history, and that you can help me win the championship.

But he gave another irrefutable answer.

"Because you're Serbian."

This sentence contains so much.

The predecessor of Serbia was Yugoslavia, and the relationship between Yugoslavia and China used to be very close.

It is no exaggeration to say that in a certain period of time, it was as close as a brotherhood.

This is also the reason why the NATO bombing will owe the Chinese a blood debt. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Although Yugoslavia is now disintegrated, Serbia, as the main heir, naturally inherits that relationship.

So is it reasonable for a Chinese to treat a Serb well?

Very reasonable!

And don't say sports without borders at this time.

Does sports really know no borders?

Some reporters in the audience reacted, and some were a little confused. After all, not everyone knows these histories and relationships.

Jokic nodded with a smile, and he obviously knew the relationship.

And he looked very happy at this moment.

When you are suddenly liked by a 9-point beauty, you will panic.

But when you know why the other person likes you, you will be ecstatic.
