Tatum broke the personal scoring record of NBA All-Star game with 55 points and became AMVP naturally. However, half of the trophy must belong to the letter Yanis.
Since the implementation of the double-Captain system in the All-Star game in 2018, James has won the game for five consecutive times. The captain of the other team was Curry, letter and Durant successively, among which the letter was the captain of 2019 and 2020. In addition to the stars’ on-the-spot performance, James’s pick is also very critical.
However, this time in Salt Lake City, James did not seem to form a team that met his correct understanding of basketball according to past experience. He chose the double center embidd and yorkich and let off all the pitchers. However, under the current new trend of basketball, three-point scoring has become a very important scoring method, and almost no defensive All-Star game has become the winner who wins.
Letters picked up a number of three-point pitchers such as Mitchell, Lillard and Makanin, and the striker Tatum, who was also good at shooting three points, scored 10 three points, leading all the way and finally got AMVP.
If the letters were not played basketball, he would also be a good student. He had done enough homework for this all-star game and wrote several pages on his notebook, but he was secretly photographed.
On the captured notes, there was a page that read “substitute”, and the first name of the interline was “Damien Lillard”. In fact, he did choose Lillard first. The second name is the same as what he chose. It is old teammate hollerdi, and the third one is Morant. The fourth one was written by Edward, but he was chosen by James first. The fifth one was written by Jay Brown, but then he drew another arrow, transfer the sixth giljess-Alexander (SGA) to the fifth.
At least the first three are completely in line with the order of picking people with letters, especially Morant. He thought it was still a substitute. After he said his name, he was stopped by the host, because Morant had replaced him as the starting point.
In the complete order of preparing lessons by letter, his ideal list of substitutes is arranged in this order: Lillard, holady, Morant, edwardz, SGA, Jay Brown, George, DeRozan, asiakham, Fox, Halliburton, Adebayor, Sabonis, Randle, little Jay Jackson.
Two points can be interpreted: first, he did his homework very early, at that time Morant had not become the starting line; Second, give priority to the defender, especially to put Lillard first, because he feels very good, the average score of the last 12 games is 38.2 points, and there is another 60 points. Sure enough, Lillard also became the champion of the three-point competition on the All-Star weekend.
James’s thinking did not put the pitcher first. When picking the substitute first, the letter chose Lillard, and James chose Edwards. His three points were unstable, with a hit rate of less than 37%, while it was also the first time he was selected as an all-star, halliburton reached 39.9%.
If we can’t see the characteristics of Thinking Clearly in the replacement stage, it will be clear when we enter the starting line: James chose the first one, he chose center enbide, and the letters took Tatum; James chose Owen for the second one, the letter picked Morant; James had a chance to make up for the previous mistake, but he still didn’t pick the pitcher, because there was still a hot Mitchell left. As a result, James chose Luca in the third place, mitchell was snatched by letters; The last starter was produced between jokiki and marcanin. James chose jokiki as the big pitcher and marcanin gave the letters.
We can imagine the consequences of arranging double centers in the launch. Although the first quarter was flat, the second quarter was only 7 points short, and the two teams did not play well in the first half, but the gap in the third quarter showed. Tatum scored seven points in the third quarter by himself, 15 out of the 24th team and 7 out of the 18th team in the LeBlanc team. The Letter team opened the score in the decisive third quarter. In the end, the letter team scored 29 in 66 and 17 in LeBlanc’s 60.
I myself summarized a “hidden rule” of all-star picking people: First, pick more defenders and outside lines and avoid high centers, because outside lines are better at shooting; Second, pick less European players, because they don’t like performance; Third, choose more senior players because the coach gives young players a short time.
In fact, in recent years, almost all-star games have been shot by whoever wins:
In 2018, the LeBlanc team started Durant, weishao, Owen and Davis. The Curry team included drozan, Harden, letters and enbid; Thompson, Lillard and downs were in the curry team. But James won the three-point goal in that session 19-17, and finally won the curry team 3 points.
In 2019, the LeBlanc team started with Harden, Durant, Owen and Leonard. There was no traditional center. The substitute was beneficial to Rad, Thompson, Bill and downs. The Alphabet team started enbyd, Curry, george and kenba Walker, Middleton were on the bench. As a result, the LeBlanc team scored 35-27 points and won 14 points.
In 2020, the LeBlanc team started Davis, Leonard, Harden and Lucca. Tatum and Booker were on the bench. The Alphabet team started enbiad, siecam, Walker and Trey young, and Middleton and Mitchell were on the bench. As a result, Leonard threw eight three points for the LeBlanc team, and Paul scored seven. The LeBlanc team scored 24-11 in three points and nearly 2 points.
In 2021, the LeBlanc team started with letters, jokedge, Curry and Lucca. George and litard were on the bench. Durant team started with Zion, Tatum, Owen, Leonard and Bill, and Mitchell and Harden were on the bench, the three-point goal is still that the LeBlanc team won 31-27, of which the letter is 3, and the game won 20 points.
In 2022, the LeBlanc team chose Curry, letters, drozan and jokedge. Luca and Garland were on the bench. Durant team started enbide, Tatum, Wikins, Trey young and Morant, there were Booker, three goals and Middleton on the bench. The result was that Curry scored 50 points in 16 of the 27 three-point goals, and the LeBlanc team scored 27-21 points in three points, and nearly 3 points.
To sum up James’s pick: There were centers in four of the first five sessions, of which Davis was picked twice, jokedge was picked twice, and Durant was the one who played 5. This shows that James likes flexible insiders, and also appreciates the center who can pass the ball like yokedge. Enbide is certainly excellent. He scored 32 points in today’s All-Star game, but relatively speaking, he is more traditional.
However, before today’s match, James unexpectedly chose enbide for the first time, which was completely opposite to the past. He also picked yokiki at the last and gave up Ma Canning, making the starting line-up have two high centers.
In James’s line-up, Halliburton and George are the ones who can catch up with the pitcher standards, but Halliburton has a short playing time and George has not made any progress in 9 points. Jay Brown had the most three points, but only three out of 12.
The match of letters only took 20 seconds symbolically, because wrist injuries still need to be examined. However, he did enough homework on this game, and he got three-point masters such as Tatum, Mitchell, Lillard and marcanin when picking people. As a result, the three players, Tatum, Mitchell and Lillard, contributed 26 three-point goals, 89.6 percent of the team’s three points.
Why did James pick people like this? Maybe there are only three explanations: first, the first five wins more, James wants to change the taste and try the feeling of two towers; Second, the first five wins more, james is a comprehensive person. He wants to give letters a chance to win. Third, the first five sessions have won more. This time, he will no longer use his brain and casually say who is who.
