Remember [New] for a second,! Half a month ago, the Dallas officials were so excited, and now they are so confused.
In just three days, there were 4 All-Stars in the East and West, and two of them announced their absence from this All-Star Weekend. Although the number of people and the total number of people compared with the total number of people feel that there are not so many, but it still gives people an impression. A sense of the All-Stars going out of business.
Dallas League: What's going on! You guys are playing me, right? ! !
Because throughout the history of the All-Star team for many years, it is not that the absence of the All-Star team has occurred due to injuries and other reasons. When it was about to be held, such a wave of withdrawals was definitely a huge blow to the attention of this All-Star.
Especially the absence of Kobe and Iverson has directly dimmed the starlight in the backcourt of the East and West by more than half, not Nash, Kidd, they are not strong, but in terms of popularity, viewing, and topicality, these two veterans are impossible. To fill the vacancy that the two major quartiles are missing.
In particular, Iverson's absence has made Amy all over the world saddened. Everyone can see that Iverson's physical fitness has been declining for a long time. Ziru completed the breakthrough of crushing the league when he was young. Now the 76ers have played with experience. According to this state, plus the precedent of announcing his retirement before, no one knows how long Iverson can play.
Why did Iverson's fans take crazy shots this year? The league also changed the way Iverson didn't like Iverson before and gave Iverson the green light to enter the All-Star Game, not just to appreciate Iverson's All-Star appearance again The curtain call performance?
It's just a pity that it didn't work as expected. Before that, everything was perfect, but the sudden illness made Iverson have to make a choice between his family and the game.
Iverson chose family, so he will also be confirmed to miss this All-Star.
Zuo Li is also very sorry about this, because this is indeed the last All-Star Iverson career, and then Iverson will have no ball to play, and eventually retire after a few years, and fans all over the world have also lost the All-Star and All-Star game. Iverson's chance to say goodbye.
The ending performance of a generation of "Answer" did not come to pass after all.
However, Zuo Li also expressed his understanding that life is not only about basketball, but many things are bigger than basketball. Zuo Li would also make the same choice if he moved from one place to another.
So Zuo Li also sent blessings to Iverson's daughter on social media for the first time, and by the way wished Kobe, Paul and Roy, who were also trapped in injuries, a speedy recovery.
Injuries are always a player's worst enemy. In the nba, countless geniuses fall because of injuries every year. This number is far more than the famous stars. Even the famous stars leave the stadium because of injuries. Much healthier.
For example, now, everyone is feeling sad about Iverson's exit. Who knows, this is also Roy's curtain call performance.
And Paul, who was seriously injured for the first time in his career, could never have imagined how many opportunities he would miss and how many years would be wasted in the future because of injuries.
So in basketball, the most important thing is not skill, and staying away from injuries and staying healthy will have a future.
It's just a pity that injuries are always a hurdle that many players can't overcome.
However, it is true that there are a lot of injuries this year. Just after the four All-Stars announced their withdrawal, there was a big discussion on the number of injuries on the Internet.
Many people from the past and the present ridiculed that the physical fitness of the current stars is not as good as one generation, and some people said that the times have progressed, and there are more and more glass.
Zuo Li scoffed at such a view. The physical fitness of modern basketball players must be better than one generation. The treatment level is better than before, I don’t know how many times better, not to mention, everyone still wore canvas shoes to play ball at that time, now you try it?
Many people only saw that the NBA had a lot of hugs and fights in the past, and the movements were big, but they couldn't see how much faster the conversion rate of modern basketball was due to the change of rules and the development of basketball techniques and tactics.
The rhythm of this transition in modern basketball would have been unimaginable decades ago.
This is the main reason for the increase in injuries. Later, the NBA changed the rules and the fouls were called more and more strictly to protect the players. Otherwise, at such a fast rate, the foul fouls would have very serious consequences, and then it would not be a simple injury. sickness problem.
Of course, the rule change about walking is not in this category, it's just to allow some people who can't change the technology to gain a firm foothold.
Of course, the league couldn't have imagined that because of the existence of some foul masters and the reasons for more and more scoring points, the NBA's viewing rate continued to decline. This may be a chain reaction.
Therefore, Zuo Li felt that sometimes the rules should not be changed casually...
But the league at this time can't think that far, they are worrying about the All-Star.
After announcing a few backup All-Stars and bringing players like Joe Johnson to the starting lineup, the league can still feel the drop and shift in attention.
People's attention is now attracted by Iverson and injuries. This is definitely a huge blow to Dallas officials. I knew that for this All-Star, they rented a brand new stadium that can accommodate 100,000 spectators. Come play the race.
If we go on like this, if the tickets are not sold out, it means that the child can't find his mother... It's a loss for adults.
In addition, because of the absence of Dayao, the attention of China, the second largest market, has not been as good as before, and even the sponsors have been reduced a lot. Now that such a thing happens, the alliance is very big Therefore, in order to prevent the NBA All-Stars from becoming the laughing stock of the four major leagues, the league made the most important decision, which is to put Zuo Li in the C position of the All-Stars!
In the original poster, Kobe and James are on both sides of the center, Zuo Li is below them but the head is the largest, and then the other stars, the NBA is not guilty, after all, although Zuo Li is the vote king, but these two are just as popular of.
But now, in the latest posters and promotional videos, Zuo Li is directly placed in the center, occupying one-third of the space, and has become a well-deserved and undisputed C position.
This change also reflects the intentions of the league. There is no other way. For the popularity of the All-Stars, it is all up to you!
James became a supporting role on the side, which made Ke Village fans extremely dissatisfied, but what happened next proved the league's foresight.
In just half a day, 30% more merchants have added sponsorship fees, and they are all big customers with deep pockets.
Ticket sales have also improved directly, and the official account of the All-Stars has more than 50,000 followers on ins.
Stern finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Li had to be Zuo Li. This year's All-Stars, you won't be in the limelight.
