The NBA All-Star Game will change significantly from this season. 바카라사이트

ESPN quoted the NBA secretariat's announcement on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) and introduced a new tournament method that will be applied from the 2024-25 All-Star Game.

The biggest change is the way the game is played. It has shifted away from the traditional Eastern and Western conferences to having four teams decide the winning team with a tournament.

A total of 24 All-Star players belong to three teams with eight players each, and the other team will be composed of the team that won the Rising Stars Challenge, which features players in their first or second years.

A total of three games will be played, and the team with more than 40 points will be the winner first.

The NBA secretariat has long considered ways to strengthen the competitiveness of the All-Star Game.

In recent years, the player who received the most votes from the two conferences was the captain and drafted his team players. The winner was decided when the target score was reached without a quota limit, but there was a limit to raising the excitement and interest.

Eventually, from last season, the East and West have returned to the traditional way of facing each other, but the evaluation was not good.

The two teams shot a total of 289 shots, and 94 percent of them were inside the paint zone or outside the three-point line. After a monotonous game of attacking under the goal or shooting only outside shots, the two teams scored a combined 397 points.

As a result, the NBA secretariat has started reviewing changes to the All-Star Game and has adopted a new method called the semifinal tournament. All-Star player voting starts on the 20th.

The newly changed All-Star Game will be held at the Chase Center, the home stadium of the Golden State Warriors, at 10 a.m. Korean time on February 17 next year.
