Coaching the All-Star is a great affirmation of his coaching ability for a head coach.

To some extent, the head coach of the All-Stars is about the same level as the head coach of the Finals.

It's all recognition of strength.

After visiting both teams' practices, the two returned to their respective houses to make final tweaks to the tactics.

The All-Star team also disbanded after completing an afternoon of training to prepare for tomorrow's All-Star Game.

For some top stars in the league, the "MVP" of the All-Star Game is a very important award. If you want to stand out among the 24 star-level players and become the most shining star among the stars, you not only need beautiful data as support, but also an important necessary condition, that is, your team must win.

The All-Star "MVP" will only be born in the winning team, which is an unshakeable and rigid condition.

Several of these players have the strength to lift the "Kobe Bryant" trophy. Of course, the MVP may also emerge from other players, but the possibility is slim.

As the core of the team, you will naturally get more ball possessions. With the support of ball possessions, the data will be beautiful. Scoring in the All-Star Game is the first condition for MVP selection, and the rest of the data are used as "auxiliary" for reference.

What is more convincing than high scores is the "triple double". If you can play a "triple double" in the All-Star Game, it will greatly increase the player's chips in the MVP selection.

There have never been four triple-doubles in the history of the All-Star Game. It can be seen that it is more difficult to get a triple-double in the All-Star Game than in ordinary games.

The reason why it is more difficult to get a triple-double is that although the defensive intensity in the All-Star Game is not high, it does not mean that the players' defensive level is not high enough, but that the players deliberately lowered the defensive intensity in order to satisfy the fans to watch. Let the opponent complete a beautiful goal.

But this kind of "release of water" is reciprocal, and the two teams will release together if they want to "release water".

This is also one of the reasons why unimaginably high scores are often scored in the All-Star Game.

It is understandable to perform some "water release" behaviors during regular time. The league and players also want to feast the eyes of the audience, but at certain moments, they will still increase their defensive strength.

In the game, when a triple-double is about to be achieved, especially when there is only one rebound or one assist, the opponent's defensive strength will increase significantly, the purpose is to prevent the occurrence of a triple-double.

Therefore, in the decades-long history of the star-studded and talented All-Stars, there have only been 4 triple-doubles.

In the news interview before the game, James clearly expressed his desire for the All-Star MVP. As the No.1 in the league, James has not even won an MVP in his five All-Star tours. He is full of longing for the "Kobe Bryant" trophy.

And his teammates chose to stand behind James, willing to win this "MVP" trophy for him.

In the Eastern Conference, more than one person has thoughts about the MVP trophy. Five players including Wade, Chris and others have publicly stated that they will fight for the MVP trophy today, but everyone also said it in a joking tone.

In the face of honor, no one will not be tempted, especially for players who have reached the level of All-Stars, the pursuit of honor has even reached the level of paranoia, so even if James’ teammates say they will not compete with him, they will help him win the MVP.

The All-Star Game, the Christmas Game and the finals are the most watched events in the NBA. At these times, many celebrities, sports celebrities, and film and television superstars will gather on the sidelines. This season’s Christmas game against the Lakers and Clippers has set a record for watching the game. Staples, which can accommodate 25000+ people, is full of seats, and according to statistics, more than 1000 stars have come to watch the game.

The auditorium of this year's All-Star Game is also star-studded. Celebrities from all walks of life are present, and they all sit in the front VIP seats, including many NBA celebrities and seniors.

For example, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, the famous Miami Heat team, brought their families to watch the game together. The "Janeway combination" who once ruled the league is now also old, but from the mental state of the two, they are very good, especially Dwyane Wade. After witnessing his son Bruce won the singles championship yesterday, he is in full condition today to watch his All-Star game.

In addition to the famous Heat, the European duo Dirk Nowitzki and Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks were also invited to watch the game from the sidelines.

The former Big Three of the Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett also sat on the sidelines, especially after Ray Allen settled his feud with the other two giants, he often "haunted" the NBA with three people.

Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Jimmy Butler, Tim Duncan, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan and many other stars who are familiar to the audience all came to watch the game, creating the most star-like auditorium ever.

Some fans even joked: If these celebrities sitting on the sidelines form a team to play a game with current All-Star players, what will happen?

Of course, this is just a beautiful fantasy of the fans. Today's celebrities are all old, and the superstars who were high-spirited and ruled the field back then have not been able to withstand the baptism of the years after all.

Today's league belongs to the younger generation, and the seniors only need to sit quietly on the court and enjoy the performances of the younger generations.

What would happen if the celebrities all went back to the grades when they ruled the league?

A match between them and today's All-Stars will definitely be very exciting. So, who will win?

The All-Star Game is about to start, and the players can't wait backstage to prepare to meet the audience.

"So nervous." Some players who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time were already extremely nervous in the background, especially the team led by Wade, half of the players entered the All-Star Game for the first time.

But as regulars of the All-Star Game, James and others were still very calm.

"This is our stage, just play to your heart's content." Wade pressed each team member's shoulders a few times to help his teammates relax.
