In the early 1990s, the Internet was not popular yet. Therefore, the voting method of all-star voting was not online voting.

It is a relatively complex one - a large number of paper voting cards will be placed in the home stadiums of 27 NBA teams, including cooperative restaurants, bars, etc., and manually collect and count votes.

Therefore, at this stage, even the votes of the voter king are not large. Taking last year as an example, the All-Star votes in both stages have ended, and Jordan, who is so popular, has only received more than 1 million votes.

Lin Xing got 520,000 votes in half a journey. What does this mean? Generally speaking, the votes in the second stage will have more votes than in the first stage.

This means that Lin Xing’s votes this year will receive more votes than Jordan’s last year. Although the trend of All-Star votes is that the total votes will be more votes every year.

It seems that Lin Xing received more votes this year than Jordan last year, which is normal. But don’t forget that Lin Xing is a rookie!

The rookie is surpassing Jordan, and what will happen in the future? Of course, surpassing Jordan is not the point. The point is that the rookie is going to be the vote king, so what can he do?

Overall, public opinion was surprised and surprised by the results of the first stage of the All-Star vote.

"I thought that when Jordan retired, Charles Barkley should be the leader in the NBA, and he should be the king of tickets this year, but the result..."

"Charles Barkley failed to become the vote king. It's understandable. Who made him miss the game for a month because of a balls strain?"

"It is understandable that Barkley is not the vote king. Hakeem Olajuwon has performed so well this season and has such outstanding record. Why is it not him?"

"And Shaquille O'Neal, second-year, top two in the scoring list..."

"No matter what, the ticket king shouldn't be a rookie?"

"..." The experts expressed their opinions, but in short, they just couldn't stand Lin Xing's ticket king. However, if you want to be surprised or unexpected, Lin Xing himself felt surprised.

"Ha? I? The half-time ticket king?"

"That's right, it's not just the half-way ticket king, but also the half-way ticket king that is ahead of Charles Barkley's 90,000 votes. That's 90,000 votes!" Xiao Chong held a newspaper and wailed.

What does 90,000 votes mean? In the first phase of the vote, Xiao Chong and Madman added up to 90,000 votes.

This is also the reason why he wailed. Comparing people with people is really annoying. Although the Warriors have excellent record and Xiao Chong's style of playing is also very gorgeous, but this popularity is just not enough.

In addition to Lin Xing, Mulin is more popular in the Warriors. He also runs for the forward, but he also beats Malone and ranks fourth in the Western Conference forward position.

To be honest, when both forward positions and share votes with each other, Mulin can still be the fourth place, and Lin Xing can still get the half-time ticket king.

Lin Xing was also a little confused when this vote came from. His first reaction was that domestic fans helped vote?

The next second I shook my head and denied it. Now it was in the 1990s, and there was no online voting. Even if domestic fans have channels to climb over the wall, they have no place to vote!

Shaking his head and thinking for a while, Lin Xing was sure that all his 520,000 votes were voted for him by North American fans.

...The regular season continues. After 1993, the Warriors faced the Kings in the first game in 1994.

This game was a relatively melodious game. Before the game, Mickey Richmond and Xiaozhu and Mullin hugged each other enthusiastically.

There was also a lot of applause from the Auckland Stadium, welcoming Richmond home. The commentator on the sidelines said: "Mickey Richmond is hugging his former teammates, and at the same time, there was a lot of cheers from the Auckland Stadium."

"It seems that the Warriors fans did not forget him because of Stah..." The rhythm was put on the opening game, directly opposing Lin Xing and Rock.

But soon, the game began. Faced with the old owner, Rock was really excited. He played all kinds of singles, shots from all sides, and hits all kinds of hits.

In the first quarter alone, he scored 13 points. The commentator continued to set the pace: "Mickey went completely rampant, with 13 points in a single quarter, and he played a performance that made the Warriors regret it!"

"So what about Lin Xing? In terms of the explosive power of scoring, he is not Mickey's opponent!" On the court, Lin Xing couldn't hear the rhythm of the commentary.

But he could see that Rock was indeed a little unwilling to give up. In the past two seasons when it was traded to the Kings, Rock had excellent personal performance, but the Kings' record was extremely bad.

In contrast, the Warriors played very average in the first two seasons without him. But this season, the Warriors rose again.

Seeing the old master rise, he was deeply trapped in the quagmire, it was naturally difficult for the rocks to let go of the knots that were traded by the Warriors.

He held his energy in this game. In the second quarter, he scored another 11 points and 24 points in the half. The weak King completely killed the Warriors because of his rampage.

There is no doubt about Rock's strength. His style of play is a bit like Paul Pierce in the point guard position. He has many backs and high jump shots are very accurate and has a first-hand three-pointer.

To be honest, after playing this half, Lin Xing was a little confused: it is understandable that Old Nelson broke up the TMC combination in order to go a step further.

But why did Rocks go when they left? In the second half, the Warriors' changes came, and Lin Xing changed his position directly and faced Rocks.

In the two months of the regular season, Old Nelson also knew who had the best single defense in the Warriors. The madman's single defense is not weak, but to be the top one, it must be Lin Xing.

When the commentator saw Lin Xing meet the rock, he was also excited.

"The rock faces Stah, he will be more excited now!" The rock is indeed even more excited. In this game, he held up a lot of energy to prove that the decision of Old Nelson to send him away was wrong!

But as a result, the first attack in the second half—

"Mickey, the high-level back, shaking, turning around, trying to break..."

"Star's single-on-one defense did not leak any flaws, he blocked the hole in time!"

"Mickey has been forced to a desperate situation, he can only make a high jump shot..."

"But Stah still blocked all his shooting angles!" With a clang, the ball from the rock hit the frame heavily, and this was just the beginning of his iron.

In the third quarter, Rock made a 5 shot from Lin Xing's defense. With Rocks silent, the Warriors ended the suspense of the game in a wave.

Then in the fourth quarter, the Rock only hit 1 of 3 shots. Seeing that the score difference was too big to make the sky back, the King chose to raise his hand to surrender.

The commentator at this time was surprised by Lin Xing's defense. He scored 24 points in the first half and scored only 6 points in the second half.

One in front and one after another, that is, the difference between Lin Xing’s defense.

"Star's defense is so good, and it's not like a rookie."

"Just his All-Star votes are not as much as a rookie should have..." At the end of the game, the commentator did not forget to mention Lin Xing's All-Star half-time vote king.

I can only say that this matter has been very popular recently. How hot has it been? Barkley, who voted for the second place, has been questioned during this period-

"You still haven't become the All-Star Ticket King after Jordan retired. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"What if a rookie All-Star who evaluates Stade scores 90,000 more votes than you?"

"Don't you think there is something wrong with Sta's vote? Charles, the league seems to be a bit too much for him."

"..." Either indirectly, or strongly, or induce all kinds of inductions. Barkley really wants Fan to die.

He really doesn't want to evaluate Lin Xing anymore. He was mainly because he was hurt last time and taught Barkley a lesson: Sometimes, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk randomly!

But by chance, before the All-Star Weekend, the Warriors and the Suns had another fight. This match was the third time the two teams had this season.

With the same Pacific Division, the third fight is not over yet. In a regular season, the Warriors and the Suns have to fight four times.

Last time he met Barkley, he was injured and the Suns lost the game. But last time he met, relying on the strategy of one-point defense, the Suns locked Lin Xing, thus winning a game back.

So now, the two teams draw 1-1. Whoever wins the third game will temporarily have an advantage in the scores of each other.

The Warriors were ready to go, and Barkley was also holding back his energy on the other side of the Suns. He said, "I don't comment on anything about Stah." Even, "All-star half-time ticket king? I don't think there is any problem." In fact, Barkley was dissatisfied in his heart.

Although he missed the regular season for a month due to Dandan's injury, his mentality was still the same as at the beginning of the season.

He still believes that with Jordan's retirement, this season should be his season. Lin Xing let him get injured for a month and snatched away the All-Star ticket king who should have belonged to him.

No, it has not been stolen yet, and Barkley still has a chance in the second half of the vote. So, before the game, Barkley suddenly forgot his advice to him.

Facing the reporter, he said: "To be honest, I'm very puzzled. Why can a rookie get so many votes?"

"I think the league's vote counting was wrong? After all, they had made similar mistakes before." (The third round of All-Star Dominic Wilkins counted in 1990s by 100,000 votes, almost making him miss the All-Star of that year) His words naturally attracted some opposition.

For example, Lin Xing's big brother Xiao Chong stood up and called him back: "I don't understand what is wrong with the identity of a rookie? Can't rookie become the All-Star vote king? Who stipulated it?" Then, there was a verbal battle from afar.

"What's the problem with the rookie All-Star vote king? Of course there is a problem. In the history of the NBA, there is no precedent for rookies to be vote kings!

"Why can't a rookie become the voter? Because popularity requires accumulation. Stade only played for more than two months, and his accumulation is far from enough." Barkley's logic is very complete, and there is no problem.

Xiao Chong couldn't refute, so he could only reply with a shameless face: "I promise, my brother's 520,000 votes are real!" At this time, in the Warriors' regular season, Lin Xing deducted another ruthless game against the Lakers in the Grand Western Conference Forum Arena.

With a counterattack, he took off from the free throw line and pressed the ball into the basket with a heavy drop. He directly reproduced Jordan's free throw line.

So after the game, there was a screen full of

"Star has booked the dunk king!"

"I think it's enough for Smack Dunk Contest to play alone, and everyone else seems redundant!"

"In the era when Michael Jordan retired and Dominic Wilkins refused to take off, Stah was the best player to deduct."

"..." If it were the past, such flattery was nothing. But as the All-Star Weekend approached, the league has identified some of the contestants in the dunk contest.

In this case, if you want to brag about Lin Xing’s dunk king, it will seem very disrespectful to Lin Xing’s opponents.

Although Lin Xing also felt that there was no need to respect the opponents of this 1994 slam dunk contest.

But opponents don't think so. Harold Miner, the dunker who is currently playing for the Heat, was the dunker of the All-Star last year.

As the defending king, he felt that the media was so swearing Lin Xing was too ignoring him. So Miner directly called Lin Xing, saying that he would compete with Lin Xing in this year's slam dunk competition.

As public opinion over this period of time made Lin Xing, the person involved, stunned.

"This group of media reporters are indeed not good people. They all want me to die!" This feeling of being wrapped in public opinion is very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the all-star voting storm is about to end.

In late January, Lin Xing finally waited for the match against the Sun. Before the game, public opinion had already developed, and the San Jose Mercury newspaper used a picture to hit Barkley.

"Why did Shine become the All-Star vote king? Because his game covers the four elements that fans want to see the most!" Which four?

1. Ankle Terminator, people think of the Christmas battle, the scene where Lin Xing ended Penny's ankle.

2. Fighting, people thought of the big scene where Lin Xing, one-on-four-tee at the Auckland Stadium, was chasing and fighting the other two.

Three, dunks, three death dunks, and countless ordinary dunks, there are too many famous scenes. Four, the game where Lin Xing made a tip-in-hand to the Jazz can be regarded as one of the classics of this season.
