Now in this league, it is difficult to find a serious All-Star starting center.

Shaq just doesn't have enough strength and status. But what if Shaq retreats? There is not even someone who can make up for it by fame.

So, Stern and Joke were discussing, and simply voted for the All-Stars next season and directly cancelled the center position calculation.

The voting was changed directly to two backcourts and three frontcourts, and the center was considered among the frontcourt players.

As for the All-Star Game, it was originally just a pleasure. If you can't gather the fans' favorite stars together, what's the point?

It is a bit counterproductive to force fans to choose some low-popular centers now. Therefore, it is better to cancel it so that some more popular No. 4 players can enter the starting lineup.

The joke raised his hands to agree, and he also reminded Stern: "I have done the new All-Star voting rule I told you last time. Maybe we can launch it together with the policy of canceling the center position next year!"

"New voting rules?" Boss Si looked confused and took the joke and saw it.

I immediately took two antihypertensive drugs.

In order to ensure the fairness of All-Star voting, Joke made an extremely complicated formula.

First, the voting rights are split into fan voting, player voting and media voting, accounting for 50%, 25% and 25% respectively.

The player scores combined by the three determine whether a player is eligible to enter the All-Star starting lineup.

The specific formula is: Player score = (fan voting division position ranking X2 + media voting division position ranking + player voting division position ranking) divided by 4.

The lower the final score, the higher the ranking.

In this way, the players selected for the starter can be ensured to become "controllable".

To put it bluntly, in theory, it is possible to PY whoever the alliance wants to praise whom.

This can prevent some mobs from entering the All-Star starting lineup, and it can also prevent Yao Ming from squeezing out the league's number one center Shaq in the rookie season.

But again, this is on the opposite side of the fans.

Because players that fans like are likely not to appear in the All-Star starting lineup.

If calculated according to this formula of jokes, a media vote can be worth hundreds of thousands of fan votes.

Although the lineup chosen in this way may be more reasonable, but in the All-Star Game, do you talk to me about it reasonably?

It was indeed unreasonable when Yao Ming squeezed out Shaq to become the All-Star starting center. But so what? Did Shaq get less meat?

And what the NBA has gained is an unprecedented overseas market!

The foundation of the league is fans. Since the All-Stars are fans' festivals, they must give the decision to the fans.

Even if they don’t understand football, they are willing to pay as long as they can see their favorite stars in the All-Star Game.

The candidates for substitutes are decided by professionals to avoid capable players from missing the All-Star Game due to poor popularity. The NBA has been doing this for so many years, and there has been no big problems.

The rule of jokes is equivalent to the election of the All-Star starting lineup, and professionals are involved, and they have to be ranked.

It is called for rationality, but in the final analysis it is just to ensure that you can guarantee that the person you want to promote will be the All-Star starter.

It’s hard to say whether the thorns like Wayne can still start for many years under such rules.

Stern nodded with a smile, saying that he needed to study it carefully.

But after the joke left, Stern silently replied in his heart: "At least when I was the president, this kind of rule that was against fans was impossible to implement."

Rather than considering these...

Why not think about the labor-management negotiations this summer!

As of now, I am afraid that it will shrink and stop next season.

There is no way to care about the All-Star voting.

Discussions on the All-Star voting are still hot, and the progress of the regular season continues.

After playing against the Heat, Wayne took over another Eastern Conference powerhouse Knicks at home.

The little bully who is already three years old will be in the third place and I feel like this - Ye Qing is back!

Wayne defended the game and made 9 of 23 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 39.1%.

Although I got 23 points, the high scores I got by the pile of tricks are not very meaningful.

Xiao Si felt as if he had returned to his youth, and was beating Nash by Brother Wei to death.

After so many years, Brother Wei still hasn't changed.

I miss it so much ~

Before we knew it, everyone was old.

After so many years... I can't beat it or not!

Wayne easily scored 26 points, and in the third quarter, there was also a European layup against Sze.

At that time, the original words of the live commentary were: "Amare is like a wooden stake!"

That's right, when Wayne was rubbing his moves, Xiao Si was stunned.

What's the fuck, Wayne can even take this position now?

Wayne's large arc changes made him pass Xiao Si like a wooden stake and easily scored a layup.

The final result was 100 to 86, and the Knicks walked peacefully.

It can be seen that Xiao Si was a little dissatisfied after the game.

But Wayne is not the kind of person who bullies honest people.

It doesn't matter, you can shake people and shout the one called Denver.

I'm so good at shaking my good guy. I will deal with you next time. I, Gaudway, will do it!

After the Knicks faced the Suns, the Trail Blazers still won.

In the past, Sir and Nash were unable to do anything to the Trail Blazers when they were together, but now they are separated and they are even more powerless.

In the last fight, Nash and Hill dreamed back to the top, causing the Trail Blazers to suffer a defeat.

Today, Nash still scored 23 points and 13 assists, but Grant Hill only scored 12 points.

The performance of dreaming back to the peak is not something that comes from back to back.

Wayne faced Channing Fry's defense, 9 of 15 shots in the game, and scored 25 points in an understatement.

The one who scored the most today was Wesley Matthews, who came on the bench.

This guy felt hot today, making 7 of 10 shots from outside the three-point line, and he scored 21 points with just three-pointers.

This is also the game with the most three-pointers he made so far in his career.

In this game, Wayne intentionally gave up a lot of shots, otherwise how could a substitute player make 10 shots with three-pointers? The primary school student said that I didn't have such treatment.

Of course, Matthews did not waste the kindness of his teammates.

In the end, Brother Ma defeated Brother Wei and scored 28 points in the game, and was elected ESPN's best player in this game!

The Trail Blazers fans joked that after a while, Wayne is afraid that the boss will lose his position!

However, the Trail Blazers can perform like this even as a substitute, which makes other championship teams a little nervous.

Even jealousy.

The Heat Big Three said: We also want such role players...

Riley: I said it all, you cut my head and change it!

In the playoffs, lineup depth is also a very important assessment indicator.

The Trail Blazers were able to defeat the Lakers in 2009 to win the championship, largely because their lineup was deep enough.

The Birdman is gone, Jordan is gone, Blake is gone, Dragic is gone, and Tucker is left in the interior.

Moreover, these individuals can be used as soon as they play, which completely stunned the Lakers.

Nowadays, the depth of the Trail Blazers lineup has the same feeling as it was back then.

Matthews scored 28 points today, Great Sages scored 2 and 2 breaks tomorrow, and Tucker scored 2 points and 10 rebounds the day after tomorrow...

Who can withstand this?

After playing against the Suns, Wayne has played six games in his comeback and won all six games.

Such an impressive record made fans praise Wayne.

As soon as Brother Wei came out of the mountain, who dared to trample on the rose garden?

But even so, after a series of wins, the Trail Blazers are still only second in the West.

The San Antonio Spurs have always occupied the first place!

Currently, the Spurs' record is 33 wins and 6 losses, which is exactly one more win than the Trail Blazers with 32 wins and 7 losses.

Although before, during Wayne's ban, the Trail Blazers beat the Spurs once.

But that time was because the Spurs performed too badly.

Seeing Wayne's momentum was so strong, Old Vic couldn't help but worry about the regular season ranking.
