The NBA's all-star selection has always been the focus of attention from all walks of life. Because behind this, there is indeed a lot worth saying. Because who to choose first, who to choose later, are very exquisite. Or rather, it is a portrayal of the sophistication of people in the NBA. So? Every time this happens, it always attracts a lot of attention and makes people curious about it. This time, the selection of people is even more so.
In the end, the All-Star selection is in the order of selection: James, Alphabet Brother, Curry, DeRozan, Jokic; James bench: Doncic, Garland, Paul, Butler, Mitchell, VanVleet, Harden (the last automatically classified as James). Durant starters: Embiid, Morant, Tatum, Wiggins, Trae Young, Durant substitutes: Booker, Downs, LaVine, Dejuntai Murray, Middleton, three goals, Gobert.
That is, Harden became the last person to automatically enter James' team. Such a thing is still very strange. One is that one captain is Durant, who is Harden's leading big brother, and the other is that Harden's personal strength surpasses many people in it. In this way, the real problem is also worth paying attention to.
Then, for Harden, why did he become the last person to automatically enter James' team? To know the truth and the inside story, you must first understand the whole process of selecting people. Or rather, the whole detail is more attention-oriented than the story itself. According to media reports, the selection is full of drama: in the final round of selection, only Gobert and Harden are left to be selected! Durant said: "When facing a team led by James and Alphabet Brother, my own team needs height, so I chose Gobert! James and the host on the scene couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
Such a thing, such a detail, proves that James is very good at playing, he will not choose Harden, it depends on whether Durant chooses or not. Such a thing is also enough to let people know that James is a very good at playing. There should be no suspense about this. Otherwise, James wouldn't have shown such humor cells.
However, Durant also did not choose Harden, which is still surprising. Although, at the time of the selection, Harden was traded by the Nets. But before that, Harden and Durant were 2 people, but they were teammates in the Thunder and Nets twice. The feelings between the two people, in the eyes of many people, should not be the kind of brothers who are better than brothers. So? Many people think that Durant's first choice should be Harden. The choice mentioned here is the choice of the substitute lineup.
The result? Durant's first choice was his U.S. national team teammate Devon Booker, who had just followed Durant to a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. For Booker, he is now a super red rising star. But in fact, he is not small, born in 1996, he is already 26 years old. Previously, he had entered the All-Star team as a substitute many times. But this year, he is just a substitute, no longer a substitute. Because, this year's substitute is Murray and three goals.
Harden was traded, Durant All-Star selection is dead or alive, not hardened, 2 people have long been intolerable? Judging from Durant's selection, this should be the case. After all, Durant is a true temperamental person, and when he doesn't choose you, then he really doesn't like you.
