All-Star America vs World? Trae Young: That game will be one-sided, and only a few world teams can play

June 7th, Hawks player Trae Young was interviewed and talked about the potential reforms of the All-Star game system.

Speaking of the All-Stars that may be changed to Team USA vs World Team, he said: "Let's go back to the East and West Confrontation. Let the players wear classic retro jerseys to play regular games. My point of view is a bit different. The core of the All-Star Game is the incentive mechanism, and the players are indeed paying attention to incentives. But if the United States really fights the World Team, the game will be one-sided. We all know the six guys of the World Team: Alexander, Doncic, Jokic, and the letters, but The level at the latter level has dropped..."

" It should still be returned to the east and west game system. Perhaps it can be stipulated that the winner will strive for home advantage for the finals - regardless of the regular season record, the All-Star winner will directly obtain home rights for the finals. Or set up an incentive mechanism, and the winner will receive high bonuses, while the other side does not. We all want to fight against each other, especially if there are any incentives that can benefit the family, no matter what the form. So It should be back to the most original game system. I will not be the only person who expresses dislike of the US team's plan to the world team, and the players are the real main body of the game... Players determine the essence and direction of the game, so you should listen to the voice of the players. I can't understand that game system..."

"There are too many off-court activities on the All-Star Game on the day, but instead deviate from the game itself. As players, we need to wait and sit for a long time - like I was 26 years old, I can still get up and play at full speed after sitting for 35 minutes, but you let James, Curry, Durant and other veterans over 36 years old, as well as James Harden and other starters, sit for 30 to 45 minutes, play for 10 minutes and then sit for half a class. This is too unreasonable. There are too many problems behind it to be considered. Xiao Hua is the best president of all sports, but some details can be optimized, and I hope you can do better in the future. "
