Chapter 792: The All-Star Result 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 four consecutive victories 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 always been behind the SuperSonics. However, the continuous winning streak plus the relatively easy schedule have made the atmosphere in the SuperSonics team relatively relaxed.

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

After defeating the Pistons, the entire SuperSonics players and the media reporters of the entire league are all concerned about the final results of the league's 2009 Phoenix All-Star starting lineup that will be announced soon.

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

When the league announced the results of the third round of voting not long ago, Milicic still ranked second in the center position, steadily pulling away from Oden, and in the forward position, Millsap surpassed Beasley, Duncan and others in the third round of voting and rushed to the fourth position of the forward position.

Milicic and Millsap's chances of starting in the All-Star Game are somewhat slim, but even if they are slim, when you are in a certain position, you will always believe that miracles can happen in this world.

Compared with the slim hope of the center forward position, the Seattle Supersonics can expect more starting positions in the guard position. Yes is the top voter in the third round of voting for the starting guard position, and Rondo also surpassed Kobe by 50,000 votes when the results of the third round of voting were announced, ranking second in the guard position.

In the "The whole world owes Rondo a vote" activity launched by Coconut Powder, Rondo is now very powerful.

Although Kobe fans all over the world have tried very hard, under the impact of the so-called 6 billion coconut fans worldwide, Kobe is only 50,000 votes behind Rondo, which is still enough to deter Rondo's starting position, which still makes many fans and expert reporters a little incredible.

It is precisely because Rondo did not pull away from Kobe by that much in the third round, so Rondo has been unable to eat or drink in recent times.

Damn, Erye is not an idiot!

Erye does not have many "Duo fans" now, and the future "Duo fans" are still "Coconut fans". When Erye grabs back the shooting bag belonging to Erye from Yes and becomes the boss of the Seattle Supersonics, Duo fans can change back from the coconut fan form.

It can be said that Erye can now surpass Kobe completely because of the fans of his future younger brother Yes.

This is simply like water without a source and duckweed without roots!

What if these coconut fans suddenly stop supporting Erye, wouldn't it be easy for Kobe fans to kill him?

Now Kobe fans have not given up the hope of killing him!

On January 18, 2009, the morning when the league was about to announce the results of the All-Star voting, Rondo felt like a zombie all the way from home to the team training.

On this journey, Rondo thought a lot.

Three years ago, at the NCAA championship, he was kicked on the ground by Yes, and was coveted by Yes. His life, which should have been brilliant, has taken a huge turn.

He became an Internet celebrity, came to the NBA, went to the New York Knicks, and was then insulted by fans all over New York, mocked by the Celtics general manager, and finally was brought to the Seattle Supersonics by Yes who was helping him.

Three years have passed since he came to the Supersonics three years ago.

He also went from an Internet celebrity player to the current assist king,

a champion, averaging a triple-double in the playoffs, and a triple-double king in the regular season.

During these three years, he and Yes had a turbulent battle and a life-and-death struggle for the position of the team leader in the Seattle Supersonics, which made him both indomitable and exhausted.

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

"Rajon, stop dreaming, watch your feet!"

"..."

Rondo, who was suddenly pulled by someone, came back to his senses. Rondo, who was about to move forward, looked at the rag under his feet that was still a little damp after wiping the floor. In the end, he still didn't put down his right leg.

What a dream!

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

"I don't think I did anything? Is it wrong to remind Rajon to pay attention to his feet?"

Millsap was also very wronged. Why did his kind reminder get Rajon's unhappy eyes?

I can only say that Rajon's personality has become more and more awkward recently.

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

Thinking of the final results of the All-Star starting vote that will be announced soon, Millsap was also a little excited.

Counting himself, he is the third player in the Supersonics who has the opportunity to start after Yes and Rajon.

In the third round of voting, his forward votes were only behind Yi and Bowen, ranking third.

The distance between him and Bowen is actually getting closer, thanks to the hype that Anthony, the star player of the Nuggets, had for him some time ago, saying that he has the ability to be an All-Star.

Since he has the ability to be an All-Star, many Coconut fans and Chinese fans have no pressure to vote for him.

If possible, coconut powder and Chinese fans are willing to vote for the players of the Supersonics.

Now it is said that "the whole world owes Rajon a vote". Among the several garbage players of the Supersonics, he was ranked second. According to the idea of ​​"the whole world owes Rondo a vote" initiated by "Not Fifteenth, Second" on the Internet, the whole world owes him at least half a vote, right?

So in the results of the third round of voting, he did benefit from it, surpassing Duncan, Beasley and Anthony and others to rank third, and even only 500,000 votes less than Bowen, which is already quite difficult. In the second round of voting, he was 1 million votes behind Bowen.

So, although the chance of surpassing Bowen is not too great, and the time of the third round of voting is too short to the final round of voting, compared with Dako chasing Yao Ming, he is indeed more hopeful and can expect miracles.

The voting for the All-Star starting lineup is not only about the few Supersonics who have the opportunity to enter the All-Star starting lineup.

Players like Barea who do not have the opportunity to start in the All-Star game are also paying attention.

Every year, no matter whether they can become the starter or not, as long as they have a good number of votes, the players will be very happy.

You know, before David Stern's reform, NBA players who wanted to get All-Star votes needed to be selected by the league, and ordinary 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, which made Ibaka very happy. This means that not the whole world is scolding him. There are also people who support him. The number is not large, but not that small.

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

Ibaka got the least votes among all the players of the Supersonics.

Like Barea, although he is a substitute, he was pitted to death by Harden this season. His performance and data on the court were greatly discounted, but he is extremely popular in China and in the United States. Many coconut fans like this little steel cannon of the Supersonics.

When the results of the third round of voting were announced, because of the good mass base, Barea was even the ninth in the Western guard position, a little higher than Chris Paul.

There is also James Harden, the guard rookie of the Supersonics. As a rookie guard in the Western Conference where the guard competition is extremely fierce, James Harden also received 100,000 votes at the end of the third round, which made James Harden very happy. 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 starting vote. Not everyone can become an All-Star starter, and likewise, becoming an All-Star starter is not everyone's pursuit.

Of course, it is not just the Supersonics that are like this. Many teams in the league are now almost like this.

I can only say that this year's All-Star starting vote is really too dramatic.

The Heat players collectively played poorly in the East, and the guards in the West fought fiercely. Many people are curious about what the final result of this year's All-Star starting vote will be.

The Supersonics and the players, reporters and media in the entire league did not wait for too long.

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

Yes has won the All-Star vote for three consecutive times, and this year's vote count is 12,157,777.

Yes's All-Star vote count once again broke the record of NBA All-Star vote counts.

More than 10 million votes, the whole world knows that this is not the most real number of votes for Yes, and Chinese fans have contributed more than just this "little" vote.

The league is controlling votes in proportion, which is the league's usual strategy. Too many votes are not good for the league, and even make people feel that it is not authoritative. When every All-Star starter has tens of millions of votes, or even hundreds of millions of votes, even if these votes are real, some people will doubt whether they are fake.

The total number of votes is less, which makes people feel that the league does have votes that are eliminated. Maybe your vote is eliminated by the league, but there is no doubt that even if your vote is eliminated, you will feel that the league's vote is authoritative enough.

So when many people saw the league announce Yes's vote results, many people exclaimed in their hearts.

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

"Jordan opened the limit of 1 million votes for the NBA All-Star Game, and Yes opened the limit of 10 million votes for the NBA All-Star Game!"

The cautious David Stern did not want to open the limit of 10 million votes earlier, but in the NBA, no one was qualified to make the world believe that his popularity could get 10 million votes. Now, Yes can, and he is the only one!

Because in addition to Yes's more than 10 million, the most votes were Yao Ming's 7 million.

Yao Ming's votes must be more than 7 million, but this number of votes is already the ceiling except for Yes.

After the league first announced the votes of Yes and Yao Ming, the reporters who attended the press conference knew that the rumored reform of this year's All-Star was finally coming out.

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

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

Yes and Yao Ming will select teammates in two rounds, and then select substitutes after selecting the starters. The priority of the starters is determined by drawing lots, while the priority of the substitutes is the opposite of the priority of the starters.

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

O'Neal, the first center in the East, David Lee and Garnett, the top two forwards in the East, Sun Yue and Arenas, the top two guards in the East, Yao Ming, the first center in the West, Yi Jianlian and Bowen, the top two forwards in the West, Yes and Rondo, the top two guards in the West, became the starting ten this year. Yes and Yao Ming will draw lots to choose their teammates from the remaining eight.

David Stern announced all the starting ten players, and the league staff announced all the players. The reporters on the scene were ready to publish the news, but David Stern stood on the stage again.

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

"This year's All-Star substitutes are from the East: Deron Williams, Richard Jefferson, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard and LeBron James."

When LeBron James' name was heard as the last one, many people at the scene took a breath.

There was no controversy about the six names announced by David Stern before, but there were still two names that were familiar to the world that did not appear in the end, that is, Iverson and James!

One of Iverson and James will not be selected for the All-Star Game?

This is really shocking.

This year's Eastern All-Star Game is really fierce!

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

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

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

Kidd was not selected, Carter was not selected, Afflalo was not selected, Paul was not selected, Nick Young was not selected, Gay was not selected, and even Roy was not selected because the Rockets are now ranked ninth in the Western Conference!

The entire press conference was extremely silent, and then an uproar suddenly occurred!
