On February 4, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the bench list for the East-West All-Star Game, and Hornets player Lamello Ball, commonly known as the "three goals", failed to be selected, which can be called the number one pearl of this All-Star Game.
In terms of personal data, the "three-goal" can average 19.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season, completely surrounding some of the All-Stars who have been selected for the bench, such as middleton of the Bucks.
In terms of team stats, the Hornets have a record of 28 wins and 24 losses this season, ranking 7th in the East, which is not bad. Considering that no teammates on the same team have been selected, the team record of "three goals" is not lagging behind.
So in the case of personal data and team data are enough, why did the "three goals" still lose the All-Star? This is probably determined by two reasons.
First, "Three Balls" himself is still young. This season is only the second season of the "three-ball" career, and the youngest Cavalier Garland, the youngest Of the East's All-Star candidates, is also a third-year player. If the advantage of the "three balls" is huge, then it may not be ignored by the judges, but if the performance is similar, the "three goals" of the second grade will suffer. Because many judges will habitually choose players who have already entered the All-Star or have become "lost pearls" many times.
Second, the Hornets, to which "Three-Ball" himself belongs, has a low status in the league and belongs to a typical unpopular small team. This kind of team, unless the family has played a very strong data or a very good record, otherwise, due to low attention, the degree of topic is not enough, and it is easy to suffer losses in the selection. When Delong Williams was in the Jazz and Lillard in the first few years of the Blazers, their data was more explosive, but they also became the "lost pearl" of the All-Star like this year's "three-goal".
Therefore, for the "three goals", this defeat is indeed regrettable, and it can even be called a "non-war crime". But if he can continue his performance this season, continue to improve, and believe that he will be selected as an All-Star in the future, it will only be a matter of time for him.
