253: Two Waves of People Are Ready to Do Something (5K)(2/3)
In fact, it is really simple for Mosaic to rise.
As long as they don't let Goulei, a blind chicken doing statistics, operate it.
Otherwise, Mosaic will not be able to turn over now, but it will not be able to turn over more than ten years later.
I have to say here that Wayne is still short-sighted.
Do people care about winning the championship? Is it about the record?
They just want to make a lot of money!
Wouldn't it be nice to pretend to run it carefully for a few years, then sell the team and earn more than ten or two billion?
The road in Wei Ge is still narrow.
Not all basketball team owners really love basketball.
Some people buy teams because of worldly sentiments, and some people buy teams just to make money.
Only a small number of owners are truly willing to invest their energy in the team.
Fortunately, Paul Allen is one of those small groups.
After coming back and winning three games in a row, Wayne and the Trail Blazers finally stopped their winning streak against the Timberwolves.
KG played perhaps the best performance of his career against Wayne, with 31 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 47.8%, which was a bit like winning the MVP back then.
There were several balls today that Wayne blocked in the face of the little wolf.
But he was still able to score, and his big jump shot was really perfect.
Wayne scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. With KG desperately pestering him, his performance could only be described as average.
After all, Hardy is one of the few people in this league who can really stand up to Wayne.
In addition, today's hard special defensive end just ignored others and was determined to fight with Wayne.
In the end, he really succeeded in regaining his face.
The rest of the Timberwolves also tried their best today and performed well, so the Timberwolves narrowly won by 4 points.
After playing for so long, people finally saw that Wayne was not as good as the opponent in a certain game.
This also sounded a wake-up call for Wayne - although he has performed very well this season, he is not yet so strong that he is unscrupulous.
Well, if you want to become a more dominant superstar, you must continue to improve.
The moment the game ended, Garnett was so excited that he rushed to the basketball hoop and punched the basketball hoop more than a dozen times.
Finally, he finally defeated Wayne!
Finally, I can hold my head high in front of this guy!
But soon, the fans in the Rose Garden were shouting, "Hey KG, come and see if you do a moonwalk!"
Suddenly, Garnett's face became angry.
Some things last a lifetime.
Even if he beats Wayne ten or a hundred times, his classic fight and retreat will be remembered by others.
No way, Wayne is a classic manufacturing machine.
Although Wayne and the Trail Blazers lost this game, it did not cause much disturbance.
Because tomorrow, the starting lineup for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game will be officially announced.
By then, the large-scale suspense series "Who is the vote king" will also have its finale.
The day before the results were announced, basketball forums were very popular, both in the United States and at home.
Everyone is discussing how likely it is that Wayne will become the top vote-getter.
Some people speculate that Wayne's loss to KG may affect the results of his All-Star voting.
Some people think that James and Yao Ming will work hard again and take the lead again.
Of course, there are also a lot of fans who think Wei Ge is the best vote-getter.
Buckley holds the last view.
This time, he wanted to make a bet with Kenny Smith, but since he lost the bet and recorded an entire episode in his underwear, Smith no longer fell into Buckley's trap.
"Yes, yes, it's whatever you say. I won't bet with you. Is it okay for Wayne to win the vote?"
Barkley shook his head, now you Kenny Smith don't even have the courage to challenge me?
You don't dare to challenge Barkley, you don't dare to challenge Wayne!
Frankly speaking, Kenny Smith also thinks that Wayne will most likely be the vote winner.
There is no way, Brother Wei's deterrence is so strong now.
Early the next morning, the NBA officially announced the starting lineups for the Eastern and Western All-Star teams.
Unsurprisingly, Wayne became one of the starting forwards for the Western Conference Stars.
And Wei Ge's partner happens to be KG who just defeated Wayne in the last game.
This pairing is very interesting, and fans are beginning to look forward to what will happen if Wayne and KG play on the same team.
Playing ball? I'm afraid I have to hit someone first in the locker room.
To be honest, it's no surprise that Wayne was selected as a starter for the Western Conference All-Star Game.
Wayne's performance this season is indeed worthy of such an honor.
This time around the announcement of the All-Star starting lineup, there are two things that really surprised everyone.
The first thing is that Wayne really became the top vote-getter in the 2007 All-Star Game!
This year, Wayne received a total of 2.54 million votes, and James received 2.51 million votes, ranking second.
Although the difference is not big, second is second!
This is the powerful runner-up gene!
2.54 million votes were cast, which is also the second-highest number of votes in NBA history, second only to the record of 2.55 million cast by Yao Ming in 2005.
As a result, the two players with the most votes in NBA All-Star history are both Chinese players.
It really gives people the feeling that Chinese players dominate American basketball...
In his third year, Wayne became the new All-Star vote leader, which should be the biggest news today.
But because of the unexpected selection of another person, the fact that Wayne became the top vote-getter can only be regarded as one of the biggest news.
Another thing that surprises people is... second-year Chris Pao'er, who hasn't played in a playoff game yet, has no outstanding honors so far.
Paoer.
He actually became one of the starting guards of the Western All-Star team in the dangerous Western Conference!
To some extent, this incident is even more shocking than Wayne becoming the top vote-getter.
After all, what the Western Conference lacks most is excellent guards. No one expected that a second-year point guard could actually take the starting position.
In previous rounds of voting, Paoer's votes have always been lower than those of Kobe Bryant, Wang Xiaocui and AI.
Unexpectedly, this was a final counterattack.
Wayne remembered that in the original history, the status of Kobe and McGrady as the starting guards of the Western Conference All-Star team during this period was basically unshakable.
But now the situation is different. Without Yao Ming, Mosaic's record has dropped sharply, and now it is basically in a position of testing on the edge of the top eight.
And without Yao Ming, Mosaic's attention this season is also very average. There are not even a few live games in the United States.
Therefore, Tracy’s number of votes is much less than in the original history.
The situation for Pao'er is exactly the opposite. Because he and Wayne are teammates, he naturally gets a lot of bonuses from Chinese fans and has a lot of votes.
In addition, the Trail Blazers currently lead the Western Conference, have an excellent record, and have high exposure.
Therefore, as the core point guard of the Trail Blazers and the captain of the security team next to Wayne, Paoer will naturally have a lot of votes.
In the end, the voting result of the backcourt players in the Western Conference was that Kobe was first, AI was second, Paoer was third with a slight advantage, and Tracy was fourth.
Then the starting guards are Kobe and AI.
But because AI has been determined to be unable to attend this year's All-Star Game due to injury, a starting guard position has been vacated.
According to the rules of the All-Star Game, if a starter is injured, the head coach of the All-Star team will decide who enters the starting lineup.
Phil Jackson, the head coach of this year's Western Conference Stars, is not a person who likes trouble. After all, he doesn't even bother to call timeouts.
So Zen Master told the league in an understatement: "Then just let the guard with the third highest number of votes replace him. It's so troublesome."
In this way, the two starting guards of the Western Conference Stars became Kobe + Paoer.
A very casual decision by the Zen Master caused huge controversy!
Judging from the statistics, Paul is averaging 17.6 points, 9.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game this season, which is indeed very good.
But compared with Tracy, who averaged 24.6 points, 6.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, it still seems a bit boring.
To be continued...
