Is it true that the All-Star lost pearl in detail?Harden's defeat was limited by 3 factors, and the King's 0 selection was the saddest

With the announcement of the 2024 NBA All-Star bench lineup, and the full 24-man All-Star lineup has been released, it is natural that many stars will regret their failure to cause controversy. In response to the public opinion survey of the biggest missing pearl in the East and West, Harden was considered the biggest lost pearl in the West, but he was defeated because of three major factors, Butler was considered the biggest lost pearl in the East, and the Kings who were fifth in the West were both selected, becoming the only team in the top six teams in the East and West without a player selected.

Harden became the biggest missing jewel of the Western Conference All-Star

The 34-year-old Harden was once again unselected as an All-Star, missing the All-Star for two consecutive years, and he is widely regarded by public opinion as the biggest missing pearl of the Western All-Star. It's just that even if fans "shout grievances" for Harden, there are actually multiple factors, which makes it reasonable for Harden to lose the All-Star.

1. There is no advantage in Harden's declining data.

When Harden still averaged 21 points, 6.1 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game last season, and could also average 20+10 data per game and became the league's assist king, Harden still failed to be selected for the All-Star team.

After Harden joined the Clippers this season, he continued to make sacrifices to become the team's "three leaders", and his personal data continued to decline, currently averaging only 17.2 points, 8.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, even though he shot 45.2% from the field and 41.3% from three-point range. Harden's high-level data is also good, but in the era of data explosion, Harden has been unable to average 20+10 per game, and naturally loses the advantage of impacting the All-Star lineup.

2. The Clippers have two people selected.

The Clippers already have Leonard and George selected for the All-Star team, so giving Harden another All-Star spot undoubtedly seems quite unrealistic. The Celtics, who have the league's No. 1 record, only Tatum and Jaylen Brown are selected, and the Timberwolves, the No. 1 Timberwolves in the West, are only Towns and Edwards, so the Clippers are unlikely to give three All-Star spots.

3. The Clippers' record did not break the lead.

In the past NBA All-Star Game, there have been teams with 3 or even 4 players selected as All-Stars, but basically the team has the record advantage of breaking the lead. On the other hand, although the Clippers have won 23 games in the last 28 games, they are also the third in the North Expedition and even the West, but after all, the record is still inferior to the Timberwolves and Thunder, and it is inferior to the Celtics in the East, so Harden's defeat is also a helpless thing.

The Kings' fifth duo in the West were all lost

The Kings are actually the most "wronged" team, among the top six teams in the East and West, only the Kings are fifth in the West, and none of the players have been selected to the All-Star team, which is naturally extremely sad.

Kings coach Mike Brown said: "Anyone who follows the NBA and watches the Kings knows that Fox and Sabonis Jr. clearly deserve to be named to this year's All-Stars.

They played at an incredibly elite level, with Sabonis Jr. setting an all-time double-double and Fox setting a career-high three-point record. Every year there are players who should have been selected but were left out, but for me it was a clear mistake. ”

Sabonis Jr. is averaging 19.9 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks per game this season, shooting 61.6% from the field and 45.1% from three-point range, and has delivered 13 triple-doubles to second in the league this season, second only to Jokic's 14 triple-doubles. As for Fox, he averaged 27.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season, shooting 46.7% from the field and 38% from three-point range, and is also an elite scorer.

Butler became the biggest missing pearl of the Eastern Conference All-Star

The Eastern All-Star lineup is much dimmer than the Western lineup. As for the biggest missing pearl of the Eastern All-Stars, the first unselected star recommended by public opinion is Butler, and the Heat have Adebayo selected for the bench, so it is not too surprising that Butler was not selected.

Butler has missed 15 games this season and is just two games away from missing out on the major awards. Butler is averaging 21.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season while shooting 49.8 percent from the field and 43.7 percent from three-point range. Butler's stats are inferior to last season's, and the Heat suffered a seven-game losing streak and fell out of the top six in the East, which became the fundamental factor in Butler's loss.

But Butler's regrettable performance in the playoffs last season was inexplicable. Butler led the Heat to complete the Super Black Eight last season to eliminate the league's No. 1 Bucks, and also eliminated the Knicks and Celtics one after another.

Of course, since there may be injury factors at that time, such as Embiid will miss the All-Star break, and other selected stars may also be absent due to injury, it will also be interesting to see which players will be selected to the All-Star team at that time.
