The season of the All-Star is over, with James' high difficulty, LeBron won 163-160 to Durant, curry with 16 hits and 50 points to win the All-Star MVP.
It is worth mentioning that although the two captains of the All-Star this season are James and Durant, the Lakers only have James participated in the All-Star game, Westbrook and Thick Brow are not eligible for the All-Star, the Nets are no one to participate in the All-Star Game, Durant is absent due to injury, Irving was not selected, Harden although selected, but he is no longer a Nets player, and he did not appear due to injury.
For the Lakers and the Nets, two teams with luxurious lineups, such a result is indeed somewhat unexpected, it is said that they should have three players each selected as an All-Star, but only James participated in the All-Star.
The reason for this situation is because the Lakers and the Nets have suffered a lot of trouble this season, and the record is not very powerful, so there are only 3 players selected as All-Stars (including Harden), because the Lakers' record is not good, Thick Eyebrow and Westbrook are not eligible for The All-Star, of course, Thick Eyebrow is also because of injuries Missing too many games, and Westbrook is too poor performance.
On the Nets side, Durant and Harden are very reasonable to be selected as All-Stars, but Durant has also missed some games due to injury, and Harden's performance has fluctuated greatly, as for Irving, he has not played in the first half of the season, so naturally he has no connection with the All-Stars.
Before the All-Star, the Lakers and Nets had a terrible record, one ranked ninth in the West and one ranked eighth in the West, and with such a ranking, the Lakers and Nets had to pass through the playoffs to enter the playoffs.
Whether the Lakers and the Nets can eventually make the playoffs, and whether they need to enter the playoffs through the playoffs, also depends on how they perform after the All-Star, if the All-Star performance is a little stronger, the Lakers and the Nets are unlikely to return to the top of the East and West, but it is still possible to avoid the playoffs.
For the Lakers, the thick eyebrows are injured again, and it is possible that they cannot come back before the end of the regular season, so their difficulties are great. However, Westbrook played a very powerful game after the All-Star last season, averaging 23.6 points, 12.8 boards and 13.1 assisted triple-doubles in 38 games, leading the Wizards to qualify for the playoffs and make it to the playoffs. If Westbrook has such an All-Star performance this season, then the Lakers will still have no problem making the playoffs.
As for the Nets, Simmons will make his debut after the All-Star, Durant will also usher in a comeback, even if Irving can only play away games, the possibility of the Nets playing in the playoffs is still very large.
