在经历了几轮惨淡的、缺乏防守、毫无竞争力的比赛后，亚当·萧华(Adam Silver)正试图做出改变。
NBA全明星赛早已不复当年。曾经，它是一场激动人心的、充满竞争的比赛，展示着世界上最好的篮球运动员的风采。但近年来，它却沦为一场缺乏竞争、防守形同虚设的 glorified shootout（华丽的投篮表演），甚至连总裁亚当·萧华(Adam Silver)都在上赛季的比赛结束后公开表达了不满。无论是球员不想消耗太多精力、避免受伤，还是仅仅是互相谦让，对于那些希望看到真正篮球比赛的球迷来说，这都不是一件令人愉快的事情。
因此，NBA正在为2025年的全明星赛进行改革，今天宣布将采用类似于近年来新星挑战赛的赛制：全明星赛将变成一个迷你锦标赛，由四支球队进行总共三场比赛：两场半决赛和一场决赛。先得到40分的球队获胜，第一场和第二场的胜者将在第三场比赛中争夺冠军。为了进一步激励球员更加努力地比赛，将设立奖金池，获胜球队的球员每人将获得12.5万美元，第二名每人获得5万美元，第三名和第四名每人获得2.5万美元。
前三支球队将由24名入选的全明星球员组成，每队8人，由TNT《Inside the NBA》的分析师沙奎尔·奥尼尔(Shaquille O’Neal)、查尔斯·巴克利(Charles Barkley)和肯尼·史密斯(Kenny Smith)担任经理，他们将从球员池中挑选各自的球队。第四支球队将是新星挑战赛的冠军——无论是新秀和二年级球员组成的球队，还是发展联盟球队——并将由坎迪斯·帕克(Candace Parker)代表。
全明星球员的投票流程保持不变，首发球员将由50%的球迷投票、25%的球员投票和25%的媒体投票决定。每支球队的七名替补球员将由NBA各队主教练选出，而四位全明星主教练将从2月2日之后东西部联盟排名第一的球队教练组中选出。
球迷投票将于12月19日开始，1月20日结束，球迷每天可以通过访问NBA.com/vote提交一张选票。首发阵容将于1月23日公布，替补阵容将于1月30日公布。全明星赛将于2月16日星期日在旧金山的Chase中心举行。我们会在投票开始时再次提醒您，但请记住为维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)以及您认为适合代表圣安东尼奥参加全明星周末的其他马刺球员投票！
各位马刺球迷，你们怎么看？你们喜欢全明星赛改为锦标赛赛制吗？在经历了几年的失望之后，这会有助于提升比赛的竞技水平吗？或者你们更喜欢传统的篮球比赛？(凯文·杜兰特(Kevin Durant)已经表示他讨厌这种赛制，更希望回到东西部对抗的赛制，所以大家可以自行判断。)

NBA presents new All-Star game format in an effort to boost competition level
After a disastrous few rounds of defensive-optional, not competitive basketball, Adam Silver is trying to shake things up.
The NBA All-Star game isn’t what it used to be. What was once a thrilling, competitive game showcasing the best basketball players the world had to offer has in recent years become a non-competitive, defense-optional, glorified shootout to the point that even Commissioner Adam Silver was visibly disgusted after last season’s game. Whether it’s players not wanting to exude the energy, avoid injury or just deferring, it hasn’t been a fun event for fans hoping to watch some real basketball.
As a result, the NBA is shaking things up for the 2025 All-Star Game, announcing today that similar to the format the Rising Stars Challenge has taken in recent years, the All-Star Game will be a mini tournament with four teams playing a total of three games: two semifinals and final. The first team to reach 40 points wins, and the winners of Games 1 and 2 will play in the Game 3 to determine the champion. As extra incitive to play harder, there will be a cash pool of prize money, with the players on the winning team receiving $125,000 each, second place gets $50,000, and 3rd and 4th place receives $25,000 per player.
The first three teams will be the 24 selected All-Stars and be divided into teams of eight, managed by TNT’s Inside the NBA analysts Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith, who will draft their teams from the pool of players. The fourth team will be the winner of the Rising Stars Challenge — be it one of the teams of rookies and second-year players or the G League squad — and will be represented by Candace Parker.
The voting process for All-Stars will remain the same, with starters being determined by 50% fan vote, 25% players and 25% media vote. The seven reserves for each team will be selected by the NBA head coaches, and the now four All-Star head coaches will come from the coaching staffs of the top team in each conference after February 2.
Fan voting begins on December 19 and ends on January 20, and fans can submit one ballet each day by going to NBA.com/vote. The starters will be revealed on January 23, and the reserves on January 30. The All-Star game itself will take place on Sunday, February 16 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. We’ll remind you again when voting opens, but remember to go vote for Victor Wembanyama and any other Spur you deem fit to represent San Antonio at All-Star Weekend!
What do you think, Pounders? Do you like the All-Star game changing to a tournament format, and will it help boost the competition level of the event after a few years of disappointment, or do you prefer just a normal basketball game? (Kevin Durant has already said he hates it and would prefer to go back to the East-West format, so take that how you will.)
