Chapter 792: The All-Star Results that Shocked the World!

After defeating the Pistons at home on January 16, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics will have five days of rest.

The SuperSonics have just completed their fourth consecutive victory after defeating the Pistons, and their record has reached 27 wins and 14 losses. Although the Rockets defeated the Nuggets in the previous game and won this strong dialogue, the Rockets' record of 25 wins and 16 losses has also remained stable. They are firmly behind the Sonics, but the continuous winning streak and the relatively easy schedule have made the atmosphere within the Sonics team relatively relaxed.

So much so that now, the SuperSonics players who have returned to Seattle no longer pay attention to the team rankings after the game against the Pistons.

After defeating the Pistons, the entire Sonics players and media reporters across the league were all concerned about the upcoming announcement of the final results of the league's 2009 Phoenix All-Star starting lineup.

As one of the most popular teams in the league, there are many people in the Seattle SuperSonics team who have the opportunity to compete for the All-Star starting position.

When the league announced the results of the third round of voting not long ago, Milicic was still firmly ranked second at center, steadily widening the distance from Oden. At the forward position, Millsap was third. In the first round of voting, he has surpassed Beasley, Duncan and others and rushed to the fourth forward position.

The chances of Milicic and Millsap starting in the All-Star Game are somewhat slim, but no matter how slim they are, when you are in a certain position, you will always believe that miracles happen in this world.

Compared with the slim prospects for the center forward position, the Seattle SuperSonics can look forward to more starting positions at the guard position. Yeas was the top vote-getter in the third round of voting for the starting guard position, and Rondo was also selected in the third round. When the results were announced, he surpassed Kobe by 50,000 votes and ranked second in the guard position.

In the "The whole world owes Rondo a vote" campaign launched by coconut flour, Rondo is now very powerful.

Although the Kobes of the world have worked very hard, under the impact of the so-called six billion coconut flour in the world, Kobe is only 50,000 votes behind Rondo, and still has enough deterrence against Rondo's starting position. It makes many fans and expert reporters a little bit incredible.

It is precisely because Rondo did not pull away from Kobe so much in the third round, so in the recent period, Rondo has always been indifferent.

Damn it, the second master is not an idiot!

The second master doesn't have many fans now, and the "big fans" in the future are still "coconut powder". When the second master snatches back the shooting bag belonging to the second master from Yes, he becomes the boss of the Seattle Supersonics. How many fans will he have? Only then can the fans change back from the coconut powder form.

It can be said that the second master can overtake Kobe now entirely because of the strong fans of his future younger brother Yes.

Damn it, this is simply water without a source, like water without roots!

If these coconut fans suddenly no longer support the second master, wouldn't they be easily counterattacked by Ke Mi?

Now the Komi people have not given up hope of counterattack!

On January 18, 2009, the morning before the league was about to announce the results of the All-Star voting, Rondo felt a little like a walking dead on the way from home to team training.

Along the way, Rondo thought a lot.

Ever since he was kicked by Yes in the NCAA tournament three years ago and coveted by Yes, his supposedly brilliant life has taken a huge turn.

He became an Internet celebrity, came to the NBA, and went to the New York Knicks. Then he was insulted by fans all over New York, ridiculed by the Celtics general manager, and finally got hired by the Seattle SuperSonics with the help of Yes.

Three years have passed since I came to the SuperSonics three years ago.

He has also gone from an internet celebrity player to the current assists king, championship, averaging a triple-double in the playoffs, and a triple-double in the regular season.

In the past three years, he and Yes had a tumultuous battle and a life-and-death struggle for the team boss position in the Seattle SuperSonics, which both made him indomitable and exhausted him.

Now, Er Ye is finally about to usher in a staged victory!

"Rajan, stop dreaming and watch your steps!"

"..."

Rondo, who was suddenly pulled by someone, came back from his thoughts. Rondo, who was about to move on, looked at the damp rag under his feet that had just been wiped on the floor. In the end, he still didn't put down his right leg.

Have a nightmare!

Looking at Millsap who was holding him next to him, Rondo looked unhappy.

"I really wish I didn't do anything, right? Is it wrong to remind Rajan to pay attention to his steps?"

Millsap was also wronged. Why did his kind reminder lead to Rajan's unhappy look?

It can only be said that Rajan's personality has become increasingly awkward recently.

"However, it should be because of this year's All-Star voting issue, right?"

Millsap was also a little excited when he thought about the final results of the All-Star first picks that were about to be announced.

In total, he is the third person in the Sonics to have a chance to enter the starting lineup after Yes and Rajon.

In the third round of voting, his forward votes ranked third behind Yi and Bowen.

The distance between him and Bowen is actually getting closer. This is thanks to Anthony, the head player of the Nuggets, who promoted him some time ago, saying that he has All-Star ability.

Now that he has All-Star ability, many coconut fans and Chinese fans will have no pressure to vote for him.

If possible, coconut fans and Chinese fans are willing to vote for SuperSonics players.

Nowadays, people say that "the whole world owes Rondo a vote". Among the big trash in the Sonics, he was ranked second. According to the fact that he is not the second, "The whole world owes Rondo a vote" was launched online. The idea is that the whole world owes him at least half a vote, right?

Therefore, in the third round of voting results, he indeed benefited, surpassing Duncan, Beasley, Anthony and others in third place, even less than Bowen by only 500,000 votes. , which was already quite difficult. In the second round of voting, he was 1 million votes behind Bowen.

Therefore, although the chance of surpassing Bowen is not too great, and the third round of voting is too short from the final round of voting, compared to Darko chasing Yao Ming, he is indeed more promising and more expected. Miracle.

All-Star starter voting is not just about the Sonics who have a chance to be among the All-Star starters.

Players who don't have the opportunity to start in the All-Star game, such as Barea, are also paying attention.

Regardless of whether he can become a starter in the annual All-Star starting voting, as long as he has a good number of votes, the players will be very happy.

You know, before David Stern's reforms, NBA players who wanted to get All-Star votes needed to be selected by the league. Generally, NBA players would not get a single vote!

But now, even Ibaka can get votes, and it's not low. In the third round, Ibaka had a thousand votes. This made Ibaka very happy. This means that it is not The whole world is criticizing him, but there are also people who support him. The number is not large, but it is not that small.

At least when he was in Africa, he never thought that he could be connected with the All-Stars.

Ibaka received the fewest votes of any Sonics player.

For example, Barea, although he is a substitute, he has been cheated by Harden this season, and his performance and data on the court have been greatly reduced. However, he is extremely popular in China and is also very popular in the United States. Many coconut fans like him. This supersonic little steel cannon.

When the results of the third round of voting were announced, Barea was even ranked ninth among Western Conference defenders, a little higher than Chris Paul, due to his strong public base.

There is also James Harden, the SuperSonics guard rookie. As a rookie guard, and in the Western Conference where competition for guards is extremely fierce, James Harden also received 100,000 votes at the end of the third round. This also made James Harden Harden is quite flattered. At least no matter what the outside world says, Mayo can beat him in all aspects in the past, present and future. At least, Mayo's current number of All-Star votes is not as good as his.

Everyone in the SuperSonics is paying attention to the All-Star starter selection. Not everyone can become an All-Star starter. Similarly, becoming an All-Star starter is not everyone's pursuit.

Of course, this is not just the case with the SuperSonics, almost all teams in the league are like this now.

It can only be said that the voting for this year's All-Star starters is indeed too dramatic.

The Heat players collectively stretched their hips in the Eastern Conference, and the guards in the Western Conference fought fiercely. Many people are curious about what the final result of this year's All-Star starter voting will be.

Didn't keep the Sonics and the league's players, reporters, and media waiting any longer.

The league announced all the results of the All-Star voting at 10 o'clock in the morning on January 18th.

Yeas has been the top vote-getter in the All-Star voting for three consecutive years. This year, he received 1,211,577,777 votes.

Yeas's All-Star votes once again set a new record for NBA All-Star votes in history.

With more than 10 million votes, the whole world knows that this is not the most real number of votes for Ye Si. Chinese fans have contributed more than just such a "little" vote.

The league is controlling the votes proportionally. This is the league's consistent strategy. If the number of votes is too large, it will not be of any benefit to the league. It will even make people feel that it is not authoritative. When every All-Star starter has tens of millions of votes, even When someone has hundreds of millions of votes, even if the number of votes is true, some people will wonder if they were fake.

The total number of votes is smaller, which makes people think that the alliance does eliminate votes. Maybe your vote is eliminated by the alliance, but there is no doubt that even if your vote is eliminated, you will feel that the authority of the alliance is sufficient. of.

So when many people saw the league announcing Ye Si's vote results, many people exclaimed in their hearts.

"The NBA officially opened the limit of 10 million votes for Yes!"

"Jordan made the NBA All-Star Game open the limit of one million votes, and Yes made the NBA All-Star Game open the limit of tens of millions of votes!"

It’s not that David Stern, who is prudent, doesn’t want to lift the 10 million limit as soon as possible, it’s just that in the NBA, no one is qualified to make the world believe that his popularity can get 10 million votes. Now, Yes can, and Still the only one!

Because apart from Ye Si’s more than 10 million, the one with the most votes was Yao Ming’s 7 million.

Yao Ming's votes are definitely more than 7 million, but this number of votes is already the ceiling except for Ye Si.

After the league took the lead in announcing the votes for Ye Si and Yao Ming, reporters who attended the on-site press conference knew that the rumored reform of this year's All-Stars was finally coming.

Sure enough, soon, the league's president David Stern announced that this year's Phoenix All-Star Game will adopt a captain-team confrontation format.

The two captains of this year's NBA main game will be Ye Si and Yao Ming, and the two teams will be 'Team Ye' and 'Team Yao'.

Ye Si and Yao Ming will choose their teammates in two rounds. After selecting the starters, they will choose the substitutes. The priority of the starters is determined by drawing lots, while the priority of the substitutes is opposite to the priority of the starters.

After David Stern smiled and announced the NBA's new rules for this year's All-Star Game, the league's staff announced all the results of the final round of All-Star voting.

O'Neal is the top center in the East, David Lee and Garnett are the top two forwards in the East, Sun Yue and Arenas are the top two guards in the East, Yao Ming is the top center in the West, Yi Jianlian and Bowen are the top two forwards in the West , the top two guards in the Western Conference, Ye Si and Rondo, will become this year's starting ten. Ye Si and Yao Ming will draw lots to choose their teammates from the remaining eight people.

David Stern announced all the starting ten, and league staff announced the results of all players. The reporters on the scene were already preparing to publish, but unexpectedly David Stern stood on the stage again.

"This year's All-Star is a year of reform. Starting from this year, the All-Star starters and All-Star substitutes will be announced simultaneously every year."

"The players selected as All-Star reserves this year from the Eastern Conference are: Deron Williams, Richard Jefferson, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard and DeleBron James."

When LeBron James' name came up last, many people at the scene took a breath.

The six names announced by David Stern are not controversial, but in the end there are still two names that are familiar to the world and do not appear, and that is Iverson and James!

Will either Iverson or James lose the All-Star selection?

This is really shocking.

This year's Eastern Conference All-Stars are really fierce!

But soon, when David Stern announced this year's Western Conference All-Star substitutes, those who lamented the intensity of the Eastern Conference stopped lamenting.

"The players selected as Western Conference All-Star reserves this year are: Kobe Bryant, Greg Oden, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Steve Nash, Darko Milicic"

Except for Milicic, all the other substitutes are the leaders of the top six teams in the Western Conference!

Kidd was lost, Carter was lost, Afflalo was lost, Paul was lost, Nick Young was lost, Gay was lost, and even Roy was lost because the Rockets are currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference!

After the entire press conference was extremely silent, there was an instant uproar!
