On February 4, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the all-star substitute lineup, which instantly triggered heated discussions. As a result, the three-goal defeat rushed to the top of the national hot search, causing a big controversy.
According to the regulations, the All-Star bench is selected by NBA coaches, with seven players in the east and west, two backcourts, three frontcourts, and two players in any position.
In the end, the full lineup in the East was starting Durant (captain), Alphabet Brother, Embiid, Trae Young, DeRozan, and substitutes: Garland, Harden, LaVine, Middleton, Butler, Tatum, VanVleet.
The three-goal miss to the All-Star has caused a big controversy, so far this season, he has averaged 19.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, All-Star level statistics, he is already the core of the Hornets' backcourt. The three-goal defeat may have something to do with the Hornets' ups and downs this season, but his defeat still makes many people dissatisfied.
Some fans have compared the three goals and Middleton's performance this season, scoring, assisting, rebounding, stealing and blocking five basic statistics, three goals ahead of Middleton, so far this season, Middleton averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks.
In the past 5 games, three goals have ushered in an outbreak, one game 25 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, one game 29 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, one game 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, one game 23 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds, and the last game was bombed with 38 points, setting a new career high, plus 9 assists and 6 rebounds. Of course, I believe that the three-goal game continues to be selected as a problem in All-Star time.
