On January 31st, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the reorganization of the 2020 Chicago All-Star Game. After this reorganization, the format of the game will be different from the past, especially the last quarter, which will add elements of tribute to Kobe. ! At the same time, after voting for the Eastern and Western All-Star starters, just now, the list of the Eastern and Western substitutes has been released!
This year’s All-Star Game still uses a four-period game format, but the first three quarters are 12 minutes each, and the score is calculated in a single quarter. The score at the beginning of each quarter is cleared, starting from 0-0. The team that wins a single quarter will donate US$100,000 to the local charity. If a single quarter is tied, it will accumulate to the next quarter!
For example: in the first quarter, the two sides are tied 24-24, and the donations will accumulate to the next quarter! In the second quarter, the two sides start counting from 0-0. If the Western Conference wins the Eastern Conference 24-23 in the second quarter, the Western Conference will donate 200,000 U.S. dollars after the first quarter’s donation is included! Analogy in this way to the third quarter!
From the fourth quarter, a big change has taken place! There will be no time limit in the fourth quarter, no longer taking 12 minutes in a single quarter! Instead, set a score, and whoever reaches it first wins! And this score is based on the accumulated scores of the two teams in the previous three quarters. The one who scores the most and adds 24 points to the target score. Whoever reaches this score first will win the All-Star Game. At the same time, the winner of this quarter The winner will donate US$200,000. If the first three quarters are tied, 300,000 will be accumulated. Adding 200,000 in the last quarter, the winner will also donate 500,000 to charity! Example for calculating the score of
: If the score of the first three quarters between the West and the East is 100-90, the score set in the fourth quarter will be 124 points. The West only needs to score 24 points in the fourth quarter to win, while the East If you want to win, you need to get 34 points to reach the target score of 124! Whoever reaches first wins, no time is counted! Although 24 points are not many, but if both sides really defend, it is likely that the last quarter of the game will be more than 12 minutes! The intention of the alliance is very obvious, just to commemorate Kobe, so the element of 24 points has been added!
