旧金山 —— 周日晚的NBA全明星赛新锦标赛赛制引发了球员们的褒贬不一，一些球员对比赛期间和比赛间的暂停提出了异议。
NBA放弃了传统的东部对阵西部的模式，转而采用四支球队的单败淘汰赛制，每轮比赛的目标分数为40分。其中三支球队由TNT“NBA内幕”栏目分析师查尔斯·巴克利(Charles Barkley)（查尔斯的全球之星队）、肯尼·史密斯(Kenny Smith)（肯尼的明日之星队）和沙奎尔·奥尼尔(Shaquille O’Neal)（沙克的元老队）选拔。第四支以坎迪斯·帕克(Candace Parker)（坎迪斯的明日之星队）命名的球队，由周五晚上的新秀挑战赛的获胜队伍组成。
球员们对场上的表现感到满意，但指出周日的锦标赛暂停过多，喜剧演员凯文·哈特在 Chase Center 用评论和玩笑逗乐观众，导致比赛中断。
“老实说，我一点也不喜欢它，”查尔斯的全球之星队成员特雷·杨表示，“我不喜欢那些暂停。比赛太短了。显然，我们能得分。所以，我觉得，他们试图延长比赛时间，用暂停之类的来延长电视转播时间。”
在总决赛中，沙克的由斯蒂芬·库里、杰森·塔图姆和凯文·杜兰特等球员组成的经验丰富的队伍击败了查尔斯的由尼古拉·约基奇、谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大和维克托·文班亚马等国际球员组成的队伍。由于要向 TNT 转播团队致敬（今年是他们报道全明星周末的最后一年），总决赛中断了近 20 分钟。
“我宁愿没有暂停地比赛，”吉尔杰斯-亚历山大说，“但无论如何，我玩得很开心。我觉得今晚的比赛更具竞争性，这是一种很好的感觉，是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。我想这取决于那些处理所有事情的人来弄清楚下一步该怎么做，以及如何让它变得越来越有趣。希望有一天我们能做到。”
杰伦·布朗补充说：“我想说，如果你想让球员们身体对抗，这样暂停并不是理想的选择。我认为球员们仍然在场上玩得很开心。所有的元老，老胳膊老腿队，我们最终获胜了，所以我认为其他人不应该有任何借口。这绝对不是理想的选择。”
库里在总决赛中得到 12 分，并最终获得全明星赛 MVP，他说他“确实和（NBA总裁）亚当·肖华(Adam Silver)以及其他领导层就去年我们的情况进行了一些交流，并提出了一些建议。”
“我们需要改变，需要为比赛注入新的活力，一些意想不到的东西，”库里说。
杜兰特说这个赛制“需要一些时间来适应”，而勇士队前锋德雷蒙德·格林批评了让第一年和第二年的新秀挑战赛球员参加的决定。
“我努力工作才得以在全明星周末的周日晚上比赛，”格林在 TNT 的节目中说，“而且因为收视率下降，因为比赛很糟糕，我们就要引进新秀挑战赛的球员？我从未参加过新秀挑战赛。我的前两年，我根本没碰过那场比赛。而这些家伙却能踏上全明星的赛场？在周日晚上？”
勒布朗·詹姆斯、扬尼斯·阿德托昆博和安东尼·爱德华兹等受伤球星的缺席也给比赛蒙上了一层阴影。
在当晚的第一场半决赛中，查尔斯的全球之星队击败了肯尼的明日之星队，吉尔杰斯-亚历山大5 投 5 中，得到全场最高的 12 分，助力球队以 41-32 获胜。沙克的元老队以 42-35 战胜了坎迪斯的明日之星队，晋级总决赛。
达米安·利拉德在半决赛中得到全队最高的 9 分，库里贡献了 8 分，沙克的元老队以一波 14-7 的进攻结束了比赛。利拉德在杜兰特的助攻下投中了制胜的 28 英尺远投。
“一旦我们进入状态，那就相当不错了，”杜兰特说，“我认为我们和新秀挑战赛队的第一场比赛打得很好。”

New NBA All-Star Game format draws mixed reviews from players
SAN FRANCISCO – The new tournament format for the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night drew mixed reviews, with several players taking issue with the breaks during and between games.
The NBA eschewed the traditional East vs. West setup in favor of a four-team, single-elimination tournament, with a target score of 40 points for each round. Three of the teams were drafted by TNT “Inside the NBA” analysts Charles Barkley (Chuck’s Global Stars), Kenny Smith (Kenny’s Young Stars) and Shaquille O’Neal (Shaq’s OGs). The fourth team, named for Candace Parker (Candace’s Rising Stars), was comprised of the winning squad from Friday night’s Rising Stars event.
Players expressed satisfaction with the action on the floor, but pointed out Sunday’s tournament featured too many stoppages, as comedian Kevin Hart entertained the crowd at Chase Center with commentary and banter that halted play.
“To be honest, I didn’t like it at all,” said Trae Young, a member of Chuck’s Global Stars. “I didn’t like the breaks. The games were so short. Obviously, we can score. So, they’re trying to, I feel like, trying to extend the game, extend the TV time with the breaks and things like that.”
The championship game – in which Shaq’s veteran-laden squad that featured players such as Stephen Curry, Jayson Tatum and Kevin Durant defeated Chuck’s team of international talents such as Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama – had a break of nearly 20 minutes due to a tribute to the TNT broadcast crew, which is in its final year covering All-Star Weekend.
“I would rather play without breaks,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “But I had fun, nonetheless. I feel like it was a little bit more towards the competitive side tonight, which is a good feeling, a step in the right direction. I guess it’s up to the guys that handle all that stuff to figure out what’s next and how to keep making it more and more interesting. Hopefully, we get there one day.”
Added Jaylen Brown: “I would say it’s not ideal to stop like that if you want guys to be physical. I think guys were still out there having fun. All the OGs, team old knees and old backs, we came out on top, so I don’t think anyone else should have had any excuses. It’s definitely not ideal.”
Curry, who scored 12 points in the championship game en route to earning the All-Star Game MVP, said he “did have some input and a lot of conversations with [NBA commissioner] Adam [Silver] and the rest of the leadership on where we were last year.”
“We needed to change, needed some new life, new juice in the game, something kind of unexpected,” Curry said.
Durant said the format “took some getting used to,” and Warriors forward Draymond Green criticized the decision to include first- and second-year Rising Stars players.
“I had to work so hard to play on Sunday night of All-Star Weekend,” Green said on the TNT broadcast. “And because ratings are down, because the game’s bad, we’re bringing in Rising Stars? I never played in the Rising Stars game. My first two years, I didn’t touch that game. And these guys get to touch the All-Star floor? On Sunday night?”
The absence of injured stars such as LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Edwards also put a damper on the game.
Chuck’s Global Stars bested Kenny’s Young Stars in the first semifinal matchup of the evening as Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 12 points on 5-for-5 shooting to fuel a 41-32 victory. Shaq’s OGs advanced to the championship with a 42-35 win over Candace’s Rising Stars.
Damian Lillard scored a team-high nine points in the semifinal win and Curry contributed eight as Shaq’s OGs closed the game on a 14-7 run. Lillard drilled the game-winning 28-footer off a Durant assist.
“Once we got into the flow of things, it was pretty good,” Durant said. “The first game we played against the Rising Stars I thought was pretty good.”
