The choice of substitutes, Harden was not selected until the end, Durant was determined not to choose Harden, James covered his face and laughed, all-Star Sainbid and Harden were not on the same team.
By the rules, James and Durant, as ticket kings and captains of the East and West, have the right to choose all-star teammates. However, Durant missed the All-Star game again due to injury, and Tatum took his starting place. James is the king of votes, he has the right to choose the starting first, the first choice is the alphabet brother, Durant's first choice is Embiid, which is also very interesting. The Nets and Philadelphia just finished the trade, Harden went to Philadelphia to join Embiid, and Durant chose Embiid in the All-Star.
James' second choice is Curry, he and Curry are on the same team again, Durant's choice is Morant, which is also an affirmation of Morant, who is the first time to be an All-Star.
