NBA All-Star Game "Spring Festival Gala": 7 o'clock to double the ugly Gianduku team is also difficult to stop
On February 19, Beijing time, with the end of the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, even if there is a gimmick of the same team for the first time in the history of Janduku, and Lillard, Haliburton, and Jaylen Brown competing for the All-Star MVP on the same team, it still gives people the impression that the All-Star Game is getting worse and worse.
Looking at such a 211-186 victory of the Eastern Army, the high-score All-Star Game with a total of 397 points, its ugliness is reflected in the following seven factors, which also make fans have little interest:
First, the crazy battle is too boring. The Eastern Army defeated the Western Army 211-186, and the two teams combined for 397 points, just three points short of 400 points. The Eastern Army's 211 points set a new record of 196 points, and the two teams' total of 397 points also set a new previous record of 374 points. Behind the high score of blindly attacking and defending, fans have lost interest.
Second, the crazy three-point shooting mode is boring. The East team hit 42 three-pointers wildly, setting an All-Star record. In the whole game, the East team made 42 of 97 three-point shots, while the West team made 25 of 71 three-point shots, and the two teams made a total of 168 three-point shots, which has evolved into a soap opera sequel to the "Three-Point Contest", so the three-point game is really boring.
Third, the maximum score difference of 27 points lost suspense early. This year's All-Star Game returned to East-West mode, originally expecting to improve the confrontation and highlights, but the East Force suppressed the West Force early, and took a 27-point lead at the most. Even if the Western Army once chased a difference of 12 points in the third quarter, but then it was opened up by 20+ points again, and in the end, the Eastern Army ended with a net win of 25 points, and there was no suspense to make the game lose its basic highlights.
Fourth, Zhan Duku took the initiative to make Hyun a "supporting role". James, Durant and Curry, the three superstars are on the same team for the first time in history, which was originally the biggest attraction of this All-Star Game. However, James only played less than 14 minutes before clocking out early because of an ankle injury. Even if James gave a few wonderful dunks, and once tried to throw himself and dunk unsuccessfully, it also proves that his body no longer supports him to show off.
As for Durant's 18 points and Curry's 16 points, they are also not involved and excited enough, Janduku only has a total of 42 points, and is not even as good as Towns alone with 50 points, and Janduku is really only a few limited rounds in the first quarter of the game.
Fifth, the three players in the East frantically threw three-pointers to grab the MVP. As for the most drama-stealing players in this game, they are undoubtedly Lillard, Haliburton and Jaylen Brown in the East, they all shoot crazy three-pointers, and they all score 30+ points, and they all have a posture of wanting to snatch the All-Star MVP early. Lillard grabbed the All-Star MVP with 39 points and 11 three-pointers, Haliburton also scored 32 points with 10 three-pointers, plus Jaylen Brown scored 36 points with six three-pointers, and they didn't really succeed Janduku to carry the highlights.
Sixth, the other stars failed to show what they should see. When Zhan Duku took the initiative to become a "supporting role" to give way, but what fans wanted to see the most was originally Zhan Duku, which naturally weakened the viewing of the All-Star Game, and it was also quite helpless. As for the successors of Jandoukou, Doncic only had 7 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on 3-of-10 shooting, and he was not suitable for the All-Star stage, as well as Jokic. As for Downs, Alexander, and Brother Alphabet, they also played seriously, but they didn't provide impressive highlights.
Seventh, All-Stars can't "really fight" into the root. The 2020 All-Star Game is extremely exciting, and the key is that the two sides "really play" on the court. It's just that today's All-Star Game has once again been reduced to a simple exhibition game, and players won't take it too seriously to defend on the court, and when the players are not serious, can you expect fans to watch it seriously?
Today's All-Star Game has a poor view, resulting in many fans no longer interested, do not want to follow, and even feel bored watching highlights, is basketball getting more and more boring? No, but the NBA All-Star Game is becoming more and more boring.
As the NBA All-Star Game becomes more and more frustrated, the NBA needs to make more new changes to increase the focus and re-engage the fun, so that fans and viewers can look forward to the All-Star Weekend.
