2020 Chicago All-Star Weekend is over. The fourth quarter of the All-Star Game is still worth remembering, and it will definitely become one of the most exciting episodes in the history of the All-Star and even the NBA. Many fan friends said that the fourth quarter is precious and every second is expensive. Today we will take a look at why it is so precious.
First of all, the players on both sides are NBA All-Star starters or players with starting strength. The 10 players of Team James and Team Antetokounmpo are currently the 10 best players on the planet. There is no doubt about this. The absence of Durant and Curry due to injury does not count, as everyone knows. When they are all All-Stars and really start to compete, everything is moving in the direction of "Huashan Lunjian", which is also the picture all fans look forward to.
It should be noted that all the players on the field are multimillionaires, and the currency unit is US dollars. Let these star players with an annual salary of tens of millions let go on the court without any hesitation, all of this stems from the All-Star restructuring and the death of Kobe . The All-Star restructuring allows the suspense of the game to be retained until the last second, and Kobe's death allows all players to release their competitive spirit and respond to Kobe's spiritual call.
This is the lineup of the James team in the fourth quarter. It is simply a super invincible and luxurious starting lineup. It is a lineup that every coach dreams of coaching. But today we look at the five LeBron James from another angle, let's look at their salary this season. James 37.44 million, thick eyebrow brother 27.09 million, Leonard 32.74 million, Harden 37.8 million, Paul 38.51 million, a total of 173.58 million, currency units are all US dollars. That is, the five players on the field of the James team are 170 million US dollars. They are simply moving bills.
Brother Antetokounmpo is the same situation here, Antetokounmpo 25.84 million, Embiid 27.5 million, Siakam 2.35 million, Lowry 33.3 million, Walker 32.74 million, a total of 121.73 million US dollars. Siakam is currently still a rookie contract, his salary next season will reach 29 million US dollars, so he is also a multi-millionaire level.
When we simply add up the total salary of the 10 players from both sides this season, the figure we get is 2953.1 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 20656.63919 billion yuan, which is at least 2 billion yuan. Through the broadcast, we saw that 10 people on the field were constantly fighting against each other in high-intensity offense and defense, falling to the ground constantly, and even almost clashed after they were angry. After considering their worth, everyone can understand how extravagant it is to watch "2 billion yuan" playing on the court, not to mention that they are at risk of injury.
In addition to the annual salary and value of the players, what makes fans feel precious is the competitive attitude of the players. They are completely free to play. You are not polite, and you just want to win. After watching the All-Star game where you don’t defend and I don’t attack, this kind of purest competition and hand-to-hand combat makes your heart beat faster. Harden's performance on the court completely exceeded the expectations of the fans, especially his defensive performance has made many fans start to recognize this bearded man again.
No matter how exciting the game is, there will be a moment of ending. Everyone knows that there will be no such scenes on the All-Star stage in the future. It is because there will be no more, so it is precious.
