On February 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the official announcement of the 2022 Cleveland All-Star bench lineup, as in previous years, there will be some controversy after the list is announced. This has become the norm, after all, only 24 players can be selected, which means that some players will be left out in the cold.
Western Conference bench: Paul, Doncic, Booker, Mitchell, Green, Towns and Gobert.
For this substitute lineup in the West, to be honest, there is really not much suspense, after all, Clippers double stars George and Leonard are injured, the Lakers have a poor record, Davis and Westbrook are out of luck, and the choice is lost. Each of these players is undisputed, interestingly, this time the top 7 teams in the West have won 11 places, and the other is James of the Lakers (ninth in the West), and it seems that the team's performance has also become a criterion for selection.
Eastern Conference bench: Lavin, Tatum, Harden, Butler, VanVleet, Garland and Middleton.
There are still some controversies in the East, such as middleton of the Bucks, whose statistics are not as good as the Hornets' three goals. In addition, VanVleet and Garland are both selected as All-Stars for the first time in their careers, and their performances are also very good, especially Garland, who led the team to fifth place in the East and became the big dark horse. As in the West, the 12 All-Stars in the East are all from the top ten teams, with only the Seventh Place Hornets making no finalists.
The suspense in the West is Anthony Davis, whose absence is more due to injuries, and the team's poor record, only ninth in the West. If the ninth-place team had 2 players selected as All-Stars, it would definitely suffer some controversy. It's just that Davis is not completely hopeless, the Warriors Green is likely not to be an All-Star, and this vacant position is likely to belong to Davis, depending on who the president will choose.
The biggest controversy on the Eastern side is the Hornets' double stars , three goals and Bridges , and the two have performed very well this season and are the reason why the team ranks seventh in the East. Dream Green also said: "I think the three-goal and Bridges may have split the votes, I think they both played an All-Star year this year.
Like Davis, the Hornets' two-member big player has a chance to replace the selection, and the Nets' Durant may miss the All-Star.
