Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The All-Star lineup has been finalized, and the next step is to select players from the East and West.

The captain of the Eastern Conference is LeBron James, and the captain of the Western Conference is Zhuang Yu.

This time the selection process will be broadcast live. Everything is for the sake of hype, to make the competition more exciting and more topical.

Selecting players is selecting players, but the starting lineup is still the starting lineup and the substitutes are still the substitutes.

In other words, players are selected from the starting lineups of the Eastern and Western Conferences first, and then players are selected from the Eastern and Western Conference bench lineups, but there is no distinction between the East and West.

Zhuang Yu can choose players from the Eastern Conference, and James can choose players from the Western Conference.

As the most voted candidate, Zhuang Yu was the first to be chosen.

"First, I choose Lopez." Zhuang Yu said with a smile.

This is not surprising.

Players who have a good relationship with Zhuang Yu, such as Westbrook and Klay, are on the bench and will move to the back.

And after all, Lopez is Zhuang Yu's teammate, so it is natural for him to choose his teammate first, otherwise Lopez will definitely be sad.

Then it was James' turn to choose.

Since Kevin Love of the Cavaliers failed to make the starting lineup, James was unable to choose Love first, so he chose Kevin Durant.

There is nothing to say about this choice, and it is indeed full of gimmicks.

You know, James and Durant have been the kings of the league for quite a long time, but since they are the kings, it is almost impossible for them to become teammates. Moreover, one is in the East and the other is in the West, and they have not been teammates in the All-Star Game in the past few years.

This is a regret for many fans, who think it would be awesome if James and Durant became teammates.

Now that James has made it a reality, the fans are naturally very excited and are looking forward to the two of them working together.

"Sure enough, James is really good at handling things." Zhuang Yu thought to himself, and smiled as he chose the second person. "The second person I chose is Stephen Curry."

Oops...

This caused another uproar among the fans, who cheered.

James chose Durant, and Zhuang Yu chose Curry. The Warriors' big and small kings were scored by the two and they will become opponents. It is also a rare good show.

Moreover, Zhuang Yu and Curry are both three-point shooters.

The two sides were playoff rivals in the past two or three seasons, but now they have become teammates. They are no worse than the combination of James + Durant, and are also full of gimmicks.

Later, James selected Anthony Davis and Joel Embiid, and the last spot was Kyrie Irving, saying that although Irving left the Cavaliers, the big brother would not blame him, I am a generous person.

Isn’t this character setting revealed?

Zhuang Yu could only sigh that James was really talented.

The starting five of Team James are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, and Kyrie Irving.

Team Zhuang Yu includes Zhuang Yu, Brook Lopez, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

After the starting players are selected, the next step is to select the substitute players.

Zhuang Yu’s first choice for the substitute lineup was Jrue Holiday.

He originally wanted to choose Westbrook as the second one, but James chose Westbrook as the first one, which made Zhuang Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart, you did it on purpose, right?

James grinned.

The reason why he chose Westbrook first instead of Kevin Love was that he knew Zhuang Yu would most likely choose Westbrook, so he got the upper hand. The second reason was that he had already chosen Kevin Durant, and if he chose Westbrook, the Thunder would have a double star combination.

"Okay, let's play it this way, huh?"

Zhuang Yu curled his lips and said, "Second, I choose Kevin Love."

Uh......

Now James' smile froze, and he couldn't help but reveal a depressed look. He looked at Zhuang Yu with a stern face and asked, "Why did you choose my teammate?"

How am I going to explain this to Love?

The first one he chose was not Love, but Love was chosen by Zhuang Yu instead, and he had no choice.

"Hey, who told you to take Westbrook's?" Zhuang Yu thought to himself, but he spread his hands and said seriously: "Everyone knows that Love is my schoolmate and my good brother. It's a pity that Russell was chosen."

"Good boy..." James rolled his eyes and said, "You might as well not explain."

Since Love was selected, James had to choose James Harden, and simply put together the "Thunder Big Three".

This choice was indeed popular and the fans were very excited.

The separation of the "Thunder Big Three" was a regret for the fans. Although they can no longer return to the same team, becoming teammates again in the All-Star Game can be regarded as satisfying the fans' wishes.

James understands basketball and he understands the fans very well.

However, Zhuang Yu had no intention of choosing James Harden. The two are in direct competition this season, and it would be a bit awkward for them to be teammates.

So Zhuang Yu chose Klay Thompson.

You, James, brought the "Thunder Big Three" together, so I will have a "Splash Brothers". I want both Curry and Klay.

Later, Zhuang Yu selected Jimmy Butler, Stacey Porzingis, Victor Oladipo, Al Horford, plus Klay Thompson, Kevin Love, and Jrue Holiday, a total of seven substitute players.

The seven substitute players selected by James are Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Damian Lillard, John Wall, Bradley Beal, Karl-Anthony Towns and Kyle Lowry.

"James actually picked Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. Now it's going to be interesting to watch, the three youngsters of the Thunder are all together."

"Not only are the three youngsters of the Thunder all together, but there is also LeBron James. I feel that the Eastern Conference team, oh no, it should be James' team, is really strong."

"They are simply too strong. Zhuang Yu's team may not be able to defeat them."

"Can't win? Zhuang Yu's team is not weak either. They have Zhuang Yu, Curry, Klay, three three-point shooters. A wave of three-pointers can make James' team lose their way..."

This time the NBA's reform of the All-Star Game is still very effective. It is no longer limited to the East and West, but has become more interesting and more worth watching.

.......

Before we knew it, it's already February.

The NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Month for January.

This time, Zhuang Yu finally won the "Western Conference Player of the Month", and the Eastern Conference Player of the Month was DeMar DeRozan of the Raptors.

Zhuang Yu performed very well throughout January.

Especially after the All-Star voting campaign ended, he was on a rampage on the offensive end. Scoring 30+ points in a game has become commonplace, and he has scored 40+ points in more than one game. His personal average points per game has reached 32.4 points, ranking first in the league.

Having missed out on the "Western Conference Player of the Month" award twice before, this time it's finally his.
