92. All-Star Vote
This year's All-Star Weekend League has announced the venue, which is Phoenix, which is known as "Phoenix".
At the same time, this is also the third time that the city of Phoenix has held an All-Star Weekend in NBA history.
This news was announced by the league president Mr. Stern not long ago. In Stern's words:
"Phoenix City is one of the best places for sports and entertainment, so it is natural that it will once again become the host of the All-Star Game."
In fact, Yang Fan had already expected this news, but Yang Fan was a little sorry. Unfortunately, New Orleans just held the All-Star Weekend last year. If it were to be put this year, it would obviously be a better thing.
If you have to say one reason, it is that this All-Star Weekend will be the "58th" All-Star Game in NBA history.
As the Hornets' only "Queen Bee", New Orleans is obviously Chris Paul's territory.
At least for Yang Fan’s personal opinion, the 58th All-Star Weekend was not held in New Orleans this year, which is somewhat regrettable...
As the All-Star Weekend approaches, most fans in the league are now turning their attention to the already released All-Star vote.
In order to show fairness and justice, NBA has modified the All-Star voting rules before. Before the final decision is made, all players have to go through a total of four rounds of All-Star voting.
In the end, the league will add up based on the sum of the voting in these four rounds of voting, and then decide on the final list of selected items.
As for why the league has changed the rules for All-Star voting, Chinese fans can finally be proud of this!!
If Yao Ming, who was in the rookie season before, was able to beat O'Neal and was elected as the All-Star starting center in the Western Conference, then Stern could hold back this point.
But if Yi Jianlian in the rookie season can beat Howard in the All-Star voting, then Stern can no longer look at this.
So since then, the NBA votes have been selected from all the fans, and in the end, there are multiple votes from fans, journalists and media.
In fact, Yang Fan thinks this is quite reasonable. After all, being selected into the NBA All-Star lineup will be a very great honor for a player.
Therefore, compared with popularity and sentiment, strength is also an indispensable and important part.
Otherwise, it would be like Pachuria, born in Tbilisi, Georgia. If you only talk about popularity, then Pachuria may be a foregone all-star member.
After all, in this entire country, there is only one NBA player in Pachuria, so compared with other players, Pachuria is simply the power of the whole country!!!
So far, this year's All-Star voting has been held in three rounds. In these three rounds of voting, the 12 players selected from the East and West are:
east:
Howard, Garnett, LeBron James, Wade, Iverson, Pierce, Ray Allen, Lewis, Mo Williams, Danny Granger, Joe Johnson, and Devin Harris.
west:
Yao Ming, Duncan, Durant, Kobe, Paul, Stoudemire, O'Neal, Roy, Parker, Nowitzki, Jamison, and Billups.
Since the All-Star voting has been over three rounds at this time, if nothing unexpected happens, then the roster of the East and West will be the 24 candidates in this year's All-Star Game.
As for the top five players on the roster, there will be a very high chance of being elected as the All-Star starting lineup this year.
It is also worth mentioning that in this year's All-Star roster, two of the Thunder teams have been selected into the All-Star roster.
Their respective ones are Durant, who will have a very high chance of being the starting lineup, and Antoine Jamison, who has been selected as the All-Star substitute.
Yang Fan was not too excited about this matter. After all, with Durant's personal performance this season, it would be impossible to tolerate if he was not selected into the All-Star lineup.
Although Yang Fan was not sure about Jamison's selection before, when Jamison's name appeared on the All-Star lineup, Yang Fan would not be surprised at all.
After all, although Jamison's scoring ability this season is not explosive, he wins in high efficiency and is very stable.
In addition, the Thunder this season is a dark horse with great attention, so Jamison's selection is more like a howl in the league to cooperate with the Thunder to hype.
As for another Hamilton who deserves to be selected for the All-Star lineup, it was because he was traded from the East to the West in the middle of the season, so his popularity showed a very big decline in a short period of time.
In addition, the competition in the backcourt in the West is more intense than the frontcourt, so Hamilton, who came to the West, finally finished losing the election, which is not too strange.
At least if Hamilton continues to stay with the Pistons, he will definitely be selected as the All-Star substitute in the Eastern Conference this year.
With the three rounds of votes for the All-Star lineup, fans are also very clear at this time. If nothing unexpected happens, then this list will probably be this year's All-Star lineup.
So before the All-Stars came, the focus of fans was attracted by the upcoming All-Star weekend.
Even though the NBA regular season confrontation has entered a white-hot stage, this still cannot conceal the fans' expectations for the All-Star Weekend.
After all, you can watch the regular season at any time, but the All-Star Weekend is once a year, so for such a time when big names gather, fans naturally tend to be more inclined to the latter.
…………………
At this time, when fans have turned their attention to the upcoming All-Stars, the teams in the league have no intention of taking care of the All-Star weekend.
Because compared to the All-Star weekends that are mainly entertainment-oriented, what each team cares most is their record in the regular season.
After all, this will be related to the final ranking of each team and whether they can enter the playoffs to compete for the supreme championship trophy.
In recent times, the running-in between "Martial Saint" Jackson and the Thunder has been getting better and better.
Although Jackson often plays some personal singles on the court, as long as this matter does not affect the overall trend of the overall situation, Yang Fan simply turns a blind eye.
After all, Jackson was also the boss of the Golden State Warriors before he was traded, but at this time when he was at the Thunder, he could only play the role of the sixth man.
Even though Yang Fan gave him a lot of reuse on the bench, it is a fact that Jackson's status has declined.
So sometimes Jackson's failure to play according to tactics will not affect the overall trend on the field, then Yang Fan is too lazy to correct it.
However, Stephen Jackson is the only one in the entire team. If other players dare to ignore Yang Fan's tactics and play, then Yang Fan probably has to close his eyes.
As for why this is, because the next scene may be too bloody and I really don't mind people watching it.
At least Yang Fan had already made plans at this time, and if the team strengthened in the future, something would come to the thorns.
Then the first day after he arrived at the team, Yang Fan will take Mason and Jackson to say to him:
"I'll ask you if you want to fight against beating?"
Chapter completed!
