On February 8, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. Earlier today, the NBA officially announced that Hornets guard Ball (three-goal) and Spurs guard Murray will replace Durant and Green for this year's All-Star Game, a choice decided by NBA President Xiao Hua.
As one of the hottest young players in the league right now, the three-goal performance this season has been very impressive, averaging 19.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 42.5% from the field and 36% from three-point range. When he was behind the All-Star bench list before, he was once rushed to the first place in the Twitter hot search by fans. Fortunately, due to Durant's knee injury, the three-goal will replace him as a career All-Star. The Hornets officially congratulated the three goals.
Spurs Murray averaged 19.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.1 steals this season, shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from three-point range. When he lost the Western Conference All-Star bench, Spurs coach Popovich publicly said that the team's record was a drag on Murray. At the same time, Murray is also the object of the Warriors' star Green's hand-pick. Like the three-goal, Murray was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
With three goals and Murray successfully waiting for the All-Star, the Lakers' Davis, Cavaliers' Aaron and other stars will not qualify for this year's All-Star Game. In addition, Tatum will replace Durant in the All-Star starter.
So far, the All-Star Game roster is:
Durant: Tatum, Embiid (76ers), Alphabet Brother (Bucks), DeRozan (Bulls), Trae Young (Hawks), Harden (Nets), LaVine (Bulls), Butler (Heat), Middleton (Bucks), VanVleet (Raptors), Garland (Cavaliers), Three Goals (Hornets)
James: James (Lakers), Curry (Warriors), Wiggins (Warriors), Morant (Grizzlies), Jokic (Nuggets), Paul (Suns), Booker (Suns), Mitchell (Jazz), Gobert (Jazz), Towns (Timberwolves), Doncic (Lone Ranger), Murray (Spurs).
The 2022 NBA All-Star Game will be held on February 21 at the Cavaliers' home court on February 21, Beijing time.
