On January 13th, Beijing time, the American media broke the news that Lillard hoped that NBA All-Stars will increase the 1V1 competition and reward the winner in the form of bonus. What makes people a little bit dumbfounded is that in the comments of this report, the hottest one is that a fan who is not too big to watch the excitement wrote: "Rondo singles out Paul."
CJ- McCollum revealed the news to the American media. He said that Lillard hopes that the Alliance will increase the 1V1 heads-up during the All-Star period and give bonus incentives. In the just-concluded CBA All-Star Game, this link was set up, and Du Feng and Zeng Fanri were invited to "net celebrity" mentors and apprentices.
But the biggest problem in this link has already been reflected in the All-Star Game. Big-name players are not willing to fight against each other in such a game. After all, If you lose or get injured, it's not worth the gain.
If the NBA arranges such a matchup, I am afraid there will be such a problem. The intensity of the game is difficult to meet the expectations of the fans. The result of the CBA All-Star Game is the best example.
However, the fans obviously don’t think it’s too much to watch the excitement. American fans immediately chose the matchup they most want to see-Rondo and Paul. If the opponents on the court throw their fists to face each other, if they really stage a 1V1 duel, it will definitely detonate the ratings.
Then the fans’ suggestions came out in an endless stream-suggestions such as Towns and Embiid, TJ-Warren and Butler really make people laugh. I don’t know if the league will adopt Lillard’s suggestion to increase the matchup. Judging from the training of the American Dream Team, the heads-up between them is indeed the existence of fairy fights. If these superstars really are Playing a few rounds with real swords on the court is definitely the most interesting game of the All-Stars.
