Under today's new rules, the score of each quarter has become very important, which may make the game more intense.
Aspect Two: Should I Wrestle the Wrist for the East-West Starter?
Beginning in 2018, the NBA has cancelled the confrontation between the East and the West, and used the method of two captains to select teams to compete. For example, in the 2018 All-Star Game, Curry chose Antetokounmpo, Embiid and DeRozan these three Eastern players, and James, who was in the Cavaliers at the time, chose Durant, Big Eyebrows and Cousins, three All-Stars from the Western Conference to start. In 2019, LeBron, who has come to the Lakers, chose Irving and Leonard in the East in the starter, while Antetokounmpo chose Curry of the Warriors and Paul George of the Thunder.
And this time, James and Antetokounmpo have reached an agreement very tacitly. The four starters selected by LeBron are all from the west, and Antetokounmpo is the collective income of the eastern starters. This also means that in this In the second All-Star Game, the start of the east and west teams should be wrenched?
Aspect 3: The Los Angeles Big Three fit together

NBA officials previously announced that the All-Star Game MVP trophy will be permanently named "Kobe Bryant MVP Award". Presumably, all participating players hope to win this award to pay tribute to the Flying Man, as the oldest player in this year’s competition. LeBron James will also fight for this award. In 2006, 2008 and 2018, James won the All-Star Game MVP trophy three times. If he wins again, he will tie with Bob Pettit. Kobe's joint record (4 times).
Aspect Five: Alternation of new and old, 9 newcomers first experience
9 newcomers appeared in this All-Star Game, namely Dongcic , Trey Young, Siakam and Tatum, Sabonis , Gobert, Mitchell, Ingram and Adebayor, who were selected as substitutes, are also the most newcomers since 2010.
Today's NBA has entered an era of alternation between the old and the new. Among the 24 All-Star players this year, only 6 are over 30. The new generation of players headed by Doncic and Trey Young is on the rise, and they are expected to become the future of the NBA. After ten years, the All-Star debut will undoubtedly be a starting point.
Aspect Six: The largest international army is coming
According to statistics, a total of 8 international players have been selected to the All-Star this season, setting an NBA historical record. These 8 people are Antetokounmpo (Greece), Embiid and Siakam (Cameroon), Ben Simmons (Australia), Jokic (Serbia), Doncic (Slovenia), Gobel (France) and Little Sabonis (Lithuania).
Nowadays, the influence of the International Army in the NBA is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually become the backbone. Last season’s regular season MVP was Antetokounmpo, the best defensive player was Gobert, and the best rookie was Doncic. The winner of the Fast Progress Award is Siakam, and the championship is the Raptors (Canadian team). Now, when 8 international players form a team to participate in the All-Star, this will undoubtedly become a beautiful scenery.
