The All-Star Game, the grand event in the basketball world, always brings endless topics and buzz to the fans. This year's NBA All-Star Game is hotly discussed, and the result of the Middle East team's 211-186 victory over the West team has sparked a lot of attention and discussion.
First, let's focus on the battle for this year's All-Star MVP. James may have a glimmer of MVP in mind, but the performance in the first half was not ideal, and the team's plus/minus was not optimistic, so he chose to give the opportunity to the younger players, perhaps this is a kind of leadership wisdom, but also respect for the new force.
Leonard, on the other hand, seemed to be a bit indifferent, he seemed to just come through the motions and lacked the desire to play. The rest of the players in the West also mostly had a nonchalant attitude, and their performances in the game were not satisfactory, as if they were just paddling and passing the time. Especially Doncic, his No. 77 jersey on the court is even more unbearable, with 7 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, which appropriately embellished this exhibition game.
Lillard was the center of attention, not only winning the three-point title, but also striving for MVP. His outstanding performance was not only vividly displayed in the first half, but also continued to exert power in the second half, and finally won the MVP with a high score of 39 points. However, it is worth mentioning that when he received the trophy, he was booed by the fans, which may have been a form of dissatisfaction with his performance.
Haliburton, as a home player, is naturally one of the candidates who want to win the MVP the most. He had a pretty good first half, but he hesitated in the face of Lillard and Brown's dominance and ultimately couldn't do it. Brown was hoping to regain face in the main game, and although he made many shots, he ultimately fell short, which made him regret.
Among the Western Forces, Downs' performance was particularly eye-catching, and he actually became the leading scorer in the fourth quarter, and although the West eventually lost the game, his 50-point record was still worth bragging about. The other players seem to have known that this year's MVP is not their competition.
Overall, the main game of this All-Star Game is not lacking in excitement, and the performances of various stars also have highlights, but there are also some regrets. Maybe in the next All-Star Game, we can witness more exciting basketball matchups and more new stars rising, let's wait and see.
