Just today, the NBA president announced a major decision, and the thin version of Doncic made the Lakers happy

The NBA Finals have not started yet, and this time I still pay attention to off-court news. The NBA president also came to join in the fun and revealed a major decision, that is, the All-Star system next season will become the United States against the international team, which may make the game more intense; while Doncic continues his own weight loss plan, the effect is still very obvious, and the Lakers will become more dangerous in the new season.

2026 NBA All-Star Game will adopt the new confrontation mode of "Team America vs International Team" for the first time, replacing the traditional East-West-part-group form. NBA President Adam Xiaohua said in an interview that this is done to enhance the viewing of the game and echo the growing influence of international players in the league.

The All-Star Game System has been continuously adjusted. This season is no longer a person selection, and the normal match between the East and West has resumed, but there is still not much popularity and there is no competitiveness on the court.

With this change, I believe that the players will be motivated. After all, they represent the American team or the international team, especially for the American team, their players will definitely want to prove it. You should know that the MVPs of the past period have been won by international players. The last time an American player won the MVP was James Harden, and then he was won by Antetokounmpo, Jokic and Alexander one after another. During this period, Embiid was not a pure American (if he stays healthy next season, I don’t know if he will choose the American team or the international team).

Doncic seems to focus on slimming in the offseason, and the effect is also significant. His recent appearance has changed a lot from the playoffs. From his previous round face to a long face, his figure has become slimmer. It seems that his diet has changed and he also wants to respond to the Mavericks. The reason why he was sent away by the Mavericks was because he was worried about his physical condition and thought he could not maintain a good body shape.

Doncic has made changes now, which also makes the Lakers happy, meaning that Doncic will become even more terrifying next season. Doncic was already powerful enough, and after his figure recovered, I believe he will become stronger on the court. This season, the Lakers achieved third place in the Western Conference, but unfortunately they failed to go further in the playoffs and were eliminated by the Timberwolves 1-4 in the first round. This result is still not ideal. They also want to have a better performance in the new season.
