The Hawks, Hornets, Heat, and Hornets ranked fifth to eighth respectively.

It is worth mentioning that there are some disharmonious factors in the Pacers team. George and Hibbert had conflicts before over the issue of who should get a woman first. Now that the small ball era is coming, Hibbert is struggling.

The contradiction further intensified.

Coupled with the team's poor record, the Pacers have put Hibbert on the shelf.

This has been a terrible season for Indiana fans.

…

The day before the All-Star Weekend started, Lin Ying, Durant, Jokic and Joseph traveled to Toronto together.

Because this time they were going to Canada to participate in a competition, Swift and Xiaolin Yi did not go with them.

They arrived in Toronto in the morning, and except for Joseph who stayed at the hotel in the afternoon, the others were arranged to attend fan activities.

The All-Star Game in Toronto is a bit special. All the players selected for the main game will appear at the fan activities every day.

The event was arranged outside the Canadian Airlines Center Arena, home of the Raptors.

When they arrived, the event venue was already packed with people.

Although Canada's population is not large, when a country's fans gather together, the number is definitely indispensable.

There is an entrance ceremony before the event starts, where the team members will be introduced to the stage one by one and line up to say hello to the fans.

Lin Ying was the last one to appear.

When he came on stage, the fans at the scene were excited.

He is now the most serious player in the league, and Canada, as the "Far Eastern Province" of the United States, knows him about the same as North American fans.

Durant leaned closer to Lin Ying sincerely. They were the Texas Twins and were close to each other.

"LeBron didn't come. He was said to be feeling unwell."

After getting closer, Durant immediately spoke.

When Durant said that, Lin Ying looked to the side and really didn't see James.

"It's a pity. Originally, I wanted to see his expression this year."

Durant continued.

Lin Ying coughed for a while, which was really damaging.

After the meeting, it was followed by interactions with fans, and then participating in a series of activities such as press conferences.

Somewhat surprisingly, Jokic is very popular here, and some fans even dressed themselves up as "clowns" to take photos with Jokic.

Lin Ying and Durant were stunned by this.

Do Canadians like fat people?

And Jokic also had a lot of fun. In the end, he asked the female fans to put on clown makeup on himself.jpg.

Then, the fans on his side exploded.

Play as you please, Jokic has always adhered to his own philosophy of life on this point.

After the event, they attended a press conference together.

Jokic was still wearing clown makeup at this time, which also made him the focus of reporters' questions.

At first, reporters focused on his makeup, but then they slowly turned back to his selection.

Jokic also showed his true feelings on this occasion.

"I only started playing basketball when I was 14 years old. I really didn't expect that one day I would become an NBA All-Star. This is like a dream."

Lin Ying and Durant on the side laughed loudly after hearing this, and Lin Ying couldn't help but shake his head.

He knows that Jokic is a good kid, but he started playing basketball at the age of 14 and was elected to the All-Stars at the age of 20. Why does this sound so fishy?

"I don't think I have the strength to be elected as an All-Star, but I am lucky. When I entered the league, I played with the best basketball players in the world. This season, I played with the strongest team in the world.

And it’s not just basketball, I honestly don’t know why I’m so lucky.”

Jokic's words caused a burst of laughter and applause from the audience.

This answer is very humble and a little cute.

Especially paired with that clown face, the contrast is full.

Then just when he finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lin Ying.

"Lin, can I ask why you care so much about me?"

Lin Ying was a little surprised by this question.

It seems that Jokic also has doubts.

Kukoc was a die-hard fan of Jordan back then, but Jordan was not so kind to him!

If you say it's because of the personality differences between Lin Ying and Jordan, you can't fully explain it. After all, Lin Ying is not that good to other rookies.

After Jokic asked, the reporters all looked at Lin Ying.

This is indeed an interesting question.

Of course Lin Ying can't say that because I have opened my eyes and know that you are an MVP-level player in history, being kind to you can help me win the championship.

But he gave another answer that was irrefutable.

"Because you are Serbian."

This sentence contains too many things.

Serbia's predecessor was Yugoslavia, and the relationship between Yugoslavia and China used to be very close.

It is no exaggeration to say that for a certain period of time, we were as close as brothers.

This is also the reason why the NATO bombing owed the Chinese a blood debt.

Although Yugoslavia has disintegrated, Serbia, as the main heir, has naturally inherited that relationship.

So is it reasonable for a Chinese to be nice to a Serbian?

Very reasonable!

And let’s not talk about sports without borders at this time.

Does sports really have no borders?

Some reporters in the audience reacted, while others were a little confused. After all, not everyone knows these histories and relationships.

Jokic smiled and nodded, and he obviously knew the relationship.

And he looked extremely happy at this moment.

When you are suddenly liked by a beautiful woman with a score of 9, you will feel anxious and uneasy.
