"Haha, it really is Jimmy."

"Jimmy, congratulations on being selected as an All-Star starter."

Seeing Butler's name ranked third, the teammates were relieved and all congratulated Butler and were happy for him.

Finally, Butler was selected as an All-Star starter.

In this way, the 76ers are equivalent to having two players selected for the All-Star starter at the same time. It is the only one in the East, that is, the Lakers in the West. The Clippers have two players selected for the starter at the same time, but their record is not bad. Not as good as the 76ers.

"Hehe, hehe..." Butler grinned, just smirking.

With a smile, his eyes were red.

Butler stood up, hugged Qin Hao, and used his old energy to squeeze Qin Hao so hard that Qin Hao couldn't help but stretch his tongue.

"Jimmy, let go. Damn, I'm almost out of breath."

"No, I want to hug a little longer."

Looking at the two, the teammates looked at each other, how does it feel... weird.

Qin Hao finally broke free and glared at Butler disgustedly: "Isn't he just making the All-Star starter? Well, if you know you are happy, hug and hug me, and strangle me to death."

"Hey." Butler licked his face and said: "You don't know how happy I am, just like dreaming. I was just a substitute for the Pistons last season, and I have to worry about playing time, but this season I will do it all. The star starter is now. God, this is too dreamy." With that, he wanted to hug Qin Hao again, but was kicked away by Qin Hao, where he was just silly.

For Butler, this is really dreamy.

In the first half of last season, he was still a less popular substitute for the Pistons. He had a bad relationship with the coach and his teammates. He was worried about enough playing time every day. Can't be released.

In the second half, he seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to rise, finally hitting the results, and he was able to sit firmly in the starting lineup, but who expected to have a long life and suffered injuries.

At that time, Butler's world was gloomy.

He didn't dare to imagine that after only one year, when he came to the 76ers, his life changed drastically.

Not only did he start, he also became the team's No. 2 player, and the relationship with his teammates is extremely harmonious, just like family.

Today, he has become an All-Star starter.

And all this has something to do with Qin Hao.

So Butler wanted to give his good brother a hug at the first time. Well, maybe he was too excited, and his strength was a little bit stronger, but only this could express his gratitude to Qin Hao.

"Qin, my good brother." Butler said emotionally: "You are light, you are electricity, you are me..."

"Stop, stop." Qin Hao quickly raised his hand to interrupt, "Stop, let me vomit for a while."

After a lot of laughter, everyone calmed down.

Butler was selected for the All-Star, which is a happy thing. Finally, Butler invited everyone to have a big meal.

......

At the same time, the outside world is already hotly debated.

"Unexpectedly, at the last minute, Butler actually completed the surpass and reached the top three frontcourt players in the Eastern Conference."

"Yeah, watching Butler and Garnett go back and forth last night, it was really thrilling, but Butler won in the end."

"Tsk tsk, the 76ers are a good harvest, two players were selected for the All-Star starter."

“It’s not a big deal for two players to be selected for the All-Star start. The point is that Qin and Butler are both young. Both are rookies in 2010. This is their third season. It’s crazy. Waiting for another two. How terrible is the 76ers in 2015?"

"Hey, the 76ers are scary now. Don't forget, the 76ers still rank first in the Eastern Conference."

Fans are actually very surprised that Butler can be selected as an All-Star starter. After all, although Butler has performed well this season, he averaged 22.2 points per game.

Some other players are averaging more points per game and have better statistics, such as Harden of the Rockets, Westbrook of the Thunder, Curry of the Warriors, and Irving of the Cavaliers.

These players average more points per game than Butler, have better statistics than him, and are equally young.

Of course, the selection of the NBA All-Stars is never purely a data comparison. For example, Roll Deng, who was selected to the All-Stars last season, averaged less than a dozen points per game.

But because the Bulls have a good record, Deng was selected to the All-Star bench.

For example, in the memory of Qin Hao’s last life, Drummond Green, who was selected as an All-Star a few years later, averaged only 10.2 points per game when he was selected as an All-Star in the 16-17 season, but because of his excellent defense, plus The Warriors' record was so good that they were still selected to the All-Stars.

This season, the 76ers can become the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, butler has contributed a lot.

......

Philadelphia.

76ers training arena.

A match is going on, coach Luke put Qin Hao, Iguodala, Butler, and Xiaoka together again.

At this time, Lu Wei hit the court, Butler rushed to the inside to grab the rebound and immediately pushed forward. After reaching the front court, it passed to Qin Hao, and then rushed to the basket and pointed.

The next moment, Qin Hao pushed the ball to the basket and Butler took off and staged a beautiful double-handed dunk.

"nice shot."

On the edge of the court, everyone applauded.

With a smile on his face, assistant coach Harry said to Coach Luke: "After Jimmy was selected for the All-Star starter, he felt that he was a little different. The training has become harder and he seems to have become a little more confident in the game."

Coach Luke nodded and smiled: "To be an All-Star, then you have to be worthy of the honor of an All-Star player, and of course you have to work harder. As for self-confidence, hehe, from now on he will be an All-Star player, and as an All-Star player still Can you not be confident?"

After being selected for the All-Star starter, Butler was excited for two or three days, and then everyone found that he became harder and harder in training.

The excitement converges to the bottom of my heart. In the usual confrontation, in the game, he has shown more confidence and better.

There is no doubt that being selected as an All-Star is a "catalyst" to Butler's growth, and it has made him grow a lot.

In the following period of time, Butler's performance was still outstanding.

Originally, some people sneered at him for being selected as the All-Star starter, thinking that he was just relying on a big brush. During the third round of the All-Star voting, with the help of the whole team, he scored crazy points, and finally barely surpassed Garnett and won. It's not martial.

But during this time, Butler's performance gave these people a slap in the face, and he proved that he was worthy of this identity with his actions.

......

Quietly, there are only a few days left in January.

On January 25th, the NBA will announce the list of substitutes for the 2013 All-Star team, and just before that, the 76ers rushed to Los Angeles and ushered in the game against the Lakers...
