After beating the Timberwolves, there were about seven or so more games, all of which were some fish belly, and the Bulls only lost one of them, and the rest were all wins.

With this wave of victories, they also maintained the first place in the East and entered the All-Star Game.

Naturally, Hojberg became the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team.

This is also the second head coach of the Bulls to become an Eastern Conference All-Star since Thibodeau!

It's a glorious thing.

The 2018 NBA All-Star Game is the 67th All-Star Game in history, held at Staples Arena in Los Angeles from February 17 to 19, 2018, with the All-Star Celebrity Game and NBA Rookie Challenge on February 17, the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Challenge, and Slam Dunk Contest on February 18, and the All-Star Game on February 19.

The All-Star Masters Game is an integral part of the NBA All-Star Weekend and is an annual commercial competition hosted by the NBA. Players participating in the tournament include retired NBA players, NBA players, actors, musicians, and athletes from other sports. The event was first held during the 2002-2003 All-Star Weekend in Atlanta, with the All-Star Celebrity Game taking place on Fridays local time. The game and Saturday's All-Star event are not played in the same venue, and the game is held on the NBA's dunk contest practice range.

Regarding the NBA Masters, there is one more theory besides the official one. The Masters has been held since 2002, and in 2002, the tournament featured NBA stars such as Szelbiak, Battier, and Pierce, entertainment stars such as Blaggart Daddy, Backstreet Boys Nick Carter, and NBA stars such as Leslie. In that tournament, Szelbiak and Battier's Stars narrowly beat Pierce and Anthony Walker's Stripes 100-99 victory.

Why do these two statements arise? In fact, it is very simple to think about it, the NBA has noticed that if the current NBA players can participate, the game will be less entertaining and greatly increase the unfairness of the game. So the 2002 Masters was an attempt at best, and it was only from the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Weekend that the NBA issued a clear rule on the Masters that no active players were allowed to participate in the Masters.

In the early days of the All-Star Celebrity Game, there was no Masters Most Valuable Player award, and the Masters Most Valuable Player award was only introduced in 2005. There have been changes in the way this award is voted for, from 2005 to 2010, members of the media at the Masters voted for the MVP. Beginning in 2011, fans watching the game in person and those watching on TV were eligible to vote for the MVP winner via text messaging and social media.

The first MVP of the All-Star Celebrity Game in 2005 was Brian McKnight, a famous American singer and musician. And the MVP winner of the last All-Star Celebrity Game in 2017 was an imitation of De Brandon Armstrong.

At the same time, the rules of the Masters are not the same as the rules of the official game, and as a commercial game, the Masters Game naturally cannot adopt the same high-intensity four-quarter 12-minute game rules as the NBA. After all, many of the players participating in the Masters are entertainment stars and even celebrities, and the NBA has also adjusted the rules of the Masters according to the characteristics of the participants: from 2003 to 2011, the Masters games were played in 4 quarters, each quarter was 8 minutes; From 2012 to the present, the duration of each quarter of the Masters has increased to 10 minutes; From 2003 to 2012, the Masters were only suspended for the last two minutes of the second half and when the referee asked for it; From 2013 to the present, the suspension of the table has been increased, and in the last two minutes of each quarter, when the game is suspended and the referee asks for it, the game will be stopped; The duration of extra time is 2 minutes; There was no foul in the game, but the manager and player could receive a technical foul and be ejected; Each team can have one timeout in both halves, and each team has one timeout in overtime; There is no 24-second offensive time limit for the game; Since 2018, the game has set a four-point line, and from the second half, shots outside the four-point line are counted as four points...

In fact, in the past few years, it can be found that although the rules are written like this, the actual rules are more relaxed. Even if the substitute player ran directly into the court from the sidelines to shoot and score, the referee didn't say too much, and everyone laughed and acquiesced.

It can be seen that compared to the NBA All-Star Game, which is still a bit of a game, the NBA All-Star Masters Game is a complete show. Entertainment stars from all walks of life, retired players, etc., can give full play to their acting talents, as long as they can bring happiness to the audience, nothing else is a problem.

Since most of the Masters players are entertainment stars, the All-Star Masters will never be short of laughter. Most of the MVPs of the Masters are actors and singers, and comedian Kevin Hart won the MVP of the Masters four times in a row from 2012 to 2015, making him the brightest star in the history of the Masters. Owens, the famous American football player, won two MVPs in 2008 and 2009. Justin Bieber was named MVP of the Masters in 2011. The 2016 MVP was won by the famous musician Butler. One of the more special Hall of Fame MVPs is former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who co-won the MVP with Hart in 2014.

In the previous editions of the Masters, there are some interesting things that have happened. The 2003 Masters showed us the cutest height difference, with former NBA star Bol at 2.31m and former NBA star Boggs at 1.60m playing as teammates, and their opponents were also 1.70m Potato Webb, who is also an NBA player, but the height difference reached 71 cm.

Although Hart only won the MVP of the Masters in 2012, his earliest participation in the Masters was back in 2004, and it took Hart eight years to finally climb to the top.

Mayweather also appeared in the 2008 Masters.

Usain Bolt, the world's No. 1 flyer, made his debut at the 2013 Masters, and although Bolt's basketball skills were mediocre, he drew applause for his excellent physical fitness for a powerful dunk.

Music producer, actor and singer Wu Yifan will participate in the 2018 Los Angeles All-Star Masters for the third time in a row after participating in the NBA All-Star Masters in Toronto in 2016 and the New Orleans All-Star Masters Game in 2017 as the first Chinese star. This year's Los Angeles All-Star Celebrity Game will be divided into the "Lakers" and "Clippers", and Wu Yifan will be a member of the "Lakers".
