Chapter 529 All-Star Restructuring

In fact, this year's All-Star Game was not scheduled to be held in New Orleans. After all, in the year when Hurricane Katrina hit, New Orleans hosted an All-Star Game.According to the original regulations, the Charlotte Hornets will host the 2017 All-Star Weekend. However, North Carolina, where Charlotte is located, passed a law that excludes homosexuality in March this year-allowing the exclusion of gay groups in commercial activities. , this hugely controversial HB3 bill refuses to protect the rights of LGBT (homosexual, bisexual and transgender people), and compels transgender people to use toilets that match their "biological sex" when going to the toilet.

After the introduction of the HB2 bill, it immediately triggered a huge public opinion effect. The NBA has been urging the North Carolina government to amend the bill and issued a warning. If it cannot be amended, it will consider revoking Charlotte's qualification to host the 2017 All-Star.As the owner of the Hornets, Michael Jordan has always opposed this bill, hoping to retain the team's right to host the All-Star.

However, the league's urging had little effect. North Carolina still insisted on its own bill and did not modify the terms, which also allowed the NBA to make the final penalty decision.According to Yahoo Sports USA, the NBA will cancel the Hornets' right to host the All-Star Game, and instead select a new location among New Orleans, Chicago, New York/Brooklyn, and finally decide to hold the event in New Orleans. All-Star once.

Of course, in addition to this issue, the league has also introduced a new policy for the All-Star Game, a one-week intermission policy. In 2014, the league adopted the suggestion of LeBron James and others to extend the All-Star break.In the past, after the All-Star weekend games, many big-name players could not get a rest time, and they had to devote themselves to the second half of the game immediately.In order to allow players to get time to rest in the middle of the season, the league extended the All-Star break to one week.In this way, even players with all-star game tasks can get 3-4 days of rest after the game.

Judging from the schedule, there are no games scheduled for a total of 6 days, but there are only 2 games in total on the day before the All-Star Intermission. There are games, so this year each team has at least 2 days of rest during the All-Star break. Popular teams such as the Warriors and Cavaliers can rest for 7 days. Those with better luck are like the Eagles. The game is one day earlier, so they have 7 days of rest.

Judging from last season, the All-Star intermission period is very critical. After all, most players have had more rest time to relax their bodies and heal their injuries. Each team also has more time to train and solve the problems that existed in the first half.Many teams improved their performance after the All-Star Game. Last season, teams like the Cavaliers, Rockets, Hornets, and Eagles performed significantly better after the All-Star Game than in the first half.

全明星正赛将在鹈鹕主场球馆冰沙国王中心举办，全明星训练、全明星新秀挑战赛和全明星名人赛也将在冰沙中心举行。NBA发展联盟全明星赛将在梅赛德斯-奔驰中心举行。具体日程安排如下：2017年2月18日新秀挑战赛，2017年2月19日举行单项赛事，包括技巧挑战赛、三分大赛和扣篮大赛，2017年2月20日举行全明星正赛。

For the All-Star Game to be rescheduled in New Orleans, NBA Chairman Adam Silver said this: "New Orleans is a world-class sports and entertainment center. Congratulations to this city for once again hosting the All-Star Game. Here let us express our gratitude to the Pelicans owner Tom and Gary Benson, Pelicans management, Mayor of New Orleans and others, thank you for inviting us to the All-Star Game in New Orleans again and for promising to make this All-Star Game an exciting one again. Exciting and memorable race."

"We are grateful that the NBA once again selected New Orleans as the host of the 2017 All-Star Game. We have effectively upgraded the Smoothie Center and made it a first-class venue for All-Star Weekend. For the past 9 years, New Orleans Having hosted two All-Star Games, this is an ideal venue for NBA fans," Pelicans owner Tom Benson said.

"As we all know, the NBA will benefit thousands of New Orleans kids and charities during the All-Star weekend. The mayor of New Orleans and many organizations have worked hard to win the right to host the 2017 All-Star Game, here I am Thank you on behalf of my wife and Pelicans management," Benson continued.The NBA, the Players Association and the Pelicans will donate money and materials to help thousands of people affected by flooding in Louisiana.

Soon time came to NO.18 in February, and the All-Star Weekend officially kicked off. What will be held on NO.18 is the Rookie Challenge.This year's All-Star Rookie Challenge continued the form of the US team vs. the international team in previous years.The U.S. team consists of 10 first- and second-year U.S. players, while the international team consists of 10 first- and second-year international players.This year's U.S. rookie team will be led by Timberwolves star Towns, who helped the U.S. beat the International 157-154 in last year's Rookie Challenge.Towns is also one of only two players in the NBA averaging at least 22 points and 11 rebounds this season.

Embiid and Mudiay were absent due to injuries, and were replaced by Abrines and Hernangomez.At the beginning, the two sides played very easily, focusing on performances, dunks, three-pointers, and passing skills were all displayed vividly. The World United team led the US team by 11 points by scoring consecutively before halftime.The second half of the game was still exciting, the two sides launched a confrontation, the World United team led the way, Booker scored consecutively, Kaminsky scored 3 points in a row, the US team overtook the score, the World United team chased after it, and Murray scored consecutively at the last moment. A 3-pointer helped him overtake the score.In the end, the World United defeated the US team 150-141.Murray was also undoubtedly elected the MVP of the game.

至于数据方面，世界联队中，贾马尔-默里36分3篮板11助攻；克里斯塔普斯-波尔津吉斯24分10篮板；达里奥-沙里奇17分5篮板4助攻；巴迪-希尔德28分6篮板3助攻2抢断；达里奥-萨里奇11分4篮板4助攻攻；尼古拉-约基奇12分11篮板8助攻3抢断。

而美国队这边卡尔-安东尼-唐斯22分11篮板3助攻2抢断；迈尔斯-特纳11分4篮板、丹吉洛-拉塞尔10分3篮板4助攻；德文-布克14分6助攻、贾利尔-奥卡福10分2篮板、弗兰克-卡明斯基27分3篮板2助攻、乔纳森-西蒙斯19分4篮板2助攻。

Jamal Murray's outstanding performance also proved to everyone that he is indeed an excellent player. From the initial 16-for-0 shooting, to the subsequent 28 points in 12 seconds, and now the rookie game MVP, Murray used the ladder The progress of the formula is slowly moving in the direction everyone expects.

For Ye Xuan, Wade and the others, the No.18 game was nothing special. After all, they are no longer concerned about who dunks more beautifully or who shoots three-pointers more accurately. The rookie game is over, and they are more concerned about relaxing themselves and the playoffs after that.The time soon came to NO.19. Today's competition is quite eye-catching. After all, these three major events are very interesting.

The All-Star Skills Competition has become less and less competitive after the reform in 2013. Especially after 2015, the confrontation between big men and small men has become the theme, and the game skills and star components are declining. Become a chicken rib among the three major projects.There are nothing more than two points to watch in the skills competition: the popularity effect of stars and on-site performance.Before the skill competition was reformed, it was a project for backcourt players to participate in.In those few years, although the era of small balls has not yet fully entered, the defenders are still the most popular. Whether it is Kidnash in the early stage, Wade Paul in the middle stage, or Rose Curry in the later stage, they all have a large group of fans. Backcourt players.Therefore, their appearances will give people the urge to lie down in front of the TV and watch the whole scene, but now, seeing everyone's casual laughter, the biggest feeling for this project has become "It's good to have a look, anyway, I have nothing to do , as a relaxation session before the three-point contest."

On the one hand, it stems from the setting of the game.The early skills game had higher requirements for passing, including a chest pass and ground pass, and included a mid-range and a three-pointer in the shooting session. As for obstacle crossing, it was similar.In the passing link, because there were as many as five chances, the players at that time were more likely to complete it as soon as possible, instead of wasting three opportunities to proceed to the next link like now.In addition, the time limit and the rules of score recording also made the early skill competitions more compact, and every second counts.On the other hand, it stems from the degree of devotion to the game and a little bit of entertainment.In the years of Wade Paul, you can clearly feel that they really want to win a skills competition championship. Small gestures, interfering when shooting, making eye contact during layups, or pretending to be angry and annoyed during interviews.The realism of these scenes is as if you are sitting in front of the stage and watching a drama. You can feel their natural and unrestrained movements, their blood pulse, and even a touch of cunning when they speak.

But now, the skills challenge has become an entertainment game. Although there are some gimmicks in the contest between the big man and the backcourt players, the competitive nature of the game is not so strong.Therefore, in the first contest of the Skills Challenge, Wall seemed listless. Obviously, he did not use his full strength to participate in this competition, so in the end Wall lost the Skills Challenge, and the more serious Hai Ward advanced to the next round.

Here I have to talk about Ye Xuan. Last season, Ye Xuan was absent from the All-Star Game due to injury, but anyone who knows Ye Xuan's heroic deeds in the All-Star Game last season will also understand How powerful is Ye Xuan's crow's mouth attribute?And Devin Booker, a young man who only joined the NBA last year, obviously doesn't know how powerful Ye Xuan is, so during the skills challenge, he actually chatted with Ye Xuan on the sidelines, and Wade on the side had a weird look on his face. Looking at Devin Booker, and when he was about to play and needed to prepare for the game, Ye Xuan also politely said 'GOOD LUCK', and then the strange look in Wade's eyes instantly disappeared. It turned into the feeling of poor Booker, and Booker himself was blinded.

So when Booker went up to the game, he was in a tragedy. Thomas Jr. was in a group with Booker in the group stage. As a result, Booker's luck was indeed affected by the mysterious power from the East, which appeared during the passing stage. He made two mistakes, and finally when Thomas Jr. made a three-pointer with a serious face, Booker hadn't even reached the three-point line.

The contest between the backcourt players has temporarily come to an end, and then there is the contest between the big players. The first players to play are Cousins ​​and Porzingis. It is Cousins ​​who is better, but Bosh's style of play that floats on the outside seems to be more suitable for this skills challenge.However, when everyone saw the astonished expression of Cousins ​​when he wobbled into the net bag for the first time, I believe everyone stood on Cousins' side by coincidence, and in the end although Cousins' humorous performance added to him There were a lot of points, but Boshen easily defeated Kaoshen and advanced to the next round.

After that, there was a contest between Jokic and Anthony Davis. I have to say that Jokic dribbled the ball and ran three steps to the three-point line. After hitting the shot, he greeted Davis still. It was very entertaining, but the subsequent competition process seemed a bit lacklustre. Except for Porzingis's one-stop final performance, overall, it was not even as funny as the Beverly Skills Championship year.The skills challenge came to an end in this way, and Boshen finally won the championship. In fact, the original intention of introducing big men in the skills competition was very good. The interaction and barriers between players, the division of positions, and the restrictions on regions and countries have all been reduced a lot.More importantly, more interactive links between players and fans have been added during the game, which at least plays a positive role in cultivating youth basketball interest.It's just that, for the fans in the past, the performance show that was supposed to be full of stars has turned into the least attention-grabbing game among the three major events, and they are somewhat less interested.Like the slam dunk contest in 12-14 and the three-point contest in 07-11, the current skills competition has entered a bottleneck period, and perhaps the next reform will not be far away.

But then, it's time for the dinner of this year's All-Star Game. Starting from the three-point contest, the following events are full of highlights, and these are the three that Ye Xuan participated in this All-Star Game. project.
