Chapter 329: Selection

The reason why LeBron is unhappy is also very simple... Because the ticket king in the east is Li Ming... Yes!

After the final results came out, Li Ming surpassed LeBron to become the king of votes in the East!

This... is the power of Chinese fans, even if the current voting is different from the past, it still can't stop the determination of Chinese fans to send Li Ming to the king of votes!

Since Li Ming has become the king of votes, he naturally has the right to choose people!

Of course, as the first person in this league, although LeBron was pulled down by Li Ming this time, his popularity is so high that it can be seen with the naked eye that Li Ming talked to LeBron before selecting players!

Eastern Team Lee, starters: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Li Ming.

Subs: Irving, LaMarcus Aldridge, Beal, Russell Westbrook, Victor Oladipo, Kristaps Porzingis, John Wall.

Western Curry, starters: Stephen Curry, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid.

Subs: Damian Lillard, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Kyle Lowry, Klay Thompson, Anthony Karl Downs, Al Horford.

Judging from the lineup grouping list, Li Ming and Curry's selection ideas are not the same, Li Mingzhi's team has a clear advantage in height, especially the starters, the Pelicans twin towers are already a rare twin tower combination in the league, and the dominance is extraordinary, Li Ming also chose Durant, the Eastern starter is equal to four frontcourt players, only Irving has one guard. Among the bench players, there are three interior lines in the East, Ade, Porzingis and Love, Wall is also a tall point guard, the East has a height advantage in multiple positions, and the athleticism is not inferior, except for Love and Ade, the athleticism of others is quite good.

Curry's team is more like a technical flow, a team flow, Curry is a point guard who has excellent skills and likes to play team basketball, and his selection of teammates generally meets his preferences. Among the starters, Harden has made remarkable achievements after transforming into a point guard, and Embiid is the "big dream" of the new era, Olajuwon, with first-class skills in the low post. Among the bench players, Green and Thompson are Curry's teammates in the Warriors, and they know the roots, Horford and Towns are big men with adaptability, and Lillard, Butler, and Lowry all have good organizational skills.

As for the highlights of the players after grouping, Li Ming is naturally a major attraction, in addition, there are also two young combinations and Zhan Huang teaming up with Owen... Compared with the past, this year's All-Star player grouping has added a lot of highlights because of the reform. In Li Mingzhi's team, Durant and Wei Shao, the former Thunder and two young together, have interacted with each other in the All-Star Game last year, played a wonderful cooperation on the court, won a full house, and the two will continue to play as teammates this year. It's a little regrettable that Harden is on Curry's team, and the former Thunder three are not on the same team. Last summer, Irving left the Cavaliers in a trade, and he parted ways with James to set up his own business. Whether James will pick Irving has been in the spotlight, and now that the results are in, James and Irving are teammates again. Interestingly, Li Ming can be described as an All-Star MVP collector, and the All-Star MVPs in the past 6 years are Davis, Wei Shao, Irving, Chris Paul and Durant.

Durant and Cousins are teammates also worth paying attention to, in the past year, the two have clashed twice on the court, and they have long been married. Relatively speaking, Curry's team is a little lacking in interesting highlights, and as a direct competitor to this season's championship, Curry's team-up with Harden is worth paying attention to. The Warriors Samsung teamed up against Li Ming's team, and Lillard's PK with Wei Shao, who couldn't look down on him, is also worth watching.

In fact, originally, the biggest gimmick of the All-Star group was that Li Ming and Curry chose their favorite players as captains, but because of the disagreement between the players, the league finally decided not to broadcast the selection process live on TV, which is undoubtedly a regret for the media and fans.

When it comes to such draft results, Li Ming has always been reluctant to reveal the order in which he chooses players, and Li Ming even jokingly said in response to the host's question: "I can't tell you, if I have to tell you, I may have to kill you first." But I want to say that the process is really fun, and it really deserves to be live. ”

Li Ming and Curry also talked about some of their own thoughts about the draft. "I did make a plan in advance, but as we all know, for things like the draft, you are always worried that the person you want to pick will be picked by another captain, and your plan will be disrupted, so you have to adjust your plan in time."

Curry said that his draft method was slightly different from Li Ming: "Because I was the second picker, I didn't have any advantages, so I mainly looked at who Li Ming picked." It wasn't until the middle of the draft, when I was selecting the bench first, that I started to find it a little difficult to pick, and I thought about it for a while. ”

It is worth noting that Li Ming's starting lineup includes Irving, who has transferred from the Cavaliers to the Celtics, for this choice, Li Ming explained: "I just choose the best one among the players I can choose, Irving, like Love, is very special, I can think of a lot of memories of All-Star with them." Irving was on the list of players to choose from at the time, and he was one of the best point guards, so it was an easy choice for me to make. As for him teaming up with LeBron again, well! Actually, I'm a fan of the Cavaliers! ”

Li Ming also said of his starting lineup: "I have good chemistry with Anthony Davis and Cousins, definitely some chemistry with Irving, and I think Durant can fit into any basketball system in the world. ”

Like Li Ming, there are some interesting players selected by Curry, such as Embiid. Speaking about his thoughts on selecting Embiid, Curry said: "He's a very talented player, he's probably going to be an All-Star many times in the future, and I'm probably going to hand over my Twitter account to him." ”

When the host asked if the two would dream of becoming a general manager in the future after completing this draft, Li Ming replied with a smile: "This is still very different from the job of a general manager, and you won't have the opportunity to pick 12 All-Star players as a general manager." ”
