Chapter 82: One stone stirs up a thousand waves
The media experts finally concluded that Keynes' votes were largely due to Lin Fei's words, "Keynes is more qualified to be selected as the All-Star than me." The problem arises now. It's okay when it comes to it, but now it's time to investigate, and the problem is big.
Everyone unanimously spoke for Kobe. As the number one superstar in the league for a long time, it would be fine if he lost to the new generation superstar, but he actually lost to a superstar who was considered second-rate. This was simply an insult to Kobe. When Kobe was a favorite of many experts, all the heads pointed to Lin Fei.
"As an All-Star player, maybe he shouldn't be so partial to his teammates."
"Such guiding words are misleading to NBA fans. If Keynes can beat Kobe and get the All-Star starter, I think the league's All-Star selection rules need to be changed."
"Lin Fei is really too much. He relies on his popularity to help his teammates get All-Star votes. This is unfair to other players."
"He didn't decide on the All-Star player, he should make the fans obey their own ideas."
What was always a simple thing was that because Kobe was offended, he pushed Lin Fei to the forefront.
Kobe's fans immediately set up the "Defend Kobe All-Star Fan Club", which means to build momentum for Kobe's All-Stars, and definitely not allow people to replace Kobe's All-Star starting position. Many of these fans are extreme, and they are constantly slandering Lin Fei. In fact, these people originally had a lot of complaints about Lin Fei's All-Star ticket king and Western All-Star starter defender. Now Lin Fei's remarks from medical and health class suddenly aroused the emotions in the hearts of these fans. They kept threatening to help Kobe regain the top of the West and regain the position of the Western Conference defender ticket king in the Mid-Eastern.
However, after all, it was a threat that Lin Fei had already reached one million votes in the first round, directly breaking the highest record in the league. Even Jordan at his peak, Yao Ming who had just entered the league was not as good as Lin Fei now. Even Kobe at his peak, there was a certain gap with Lin Fei now, let alone Kobe who is gradually looking old?
But you can never ignore Kobe and his fans, and never anger Kobe.
"I need to find the best self, I need to prove that I am still the best All-Star player in the league." This is Kobe, the Kobe, who has never seemed to have changed for more than a decade, is confident and tenacious.
"Bryant is also a player I like, but I think Keynes is also the All-Star, and I believe that Keynes can get such a high vote because of our Warriors' outstanding record this season. This is the result of the joint efforts of all our players, not the result of my words." This is Lin Fei's response.
However, even though there are so many criticisms and accusations from people, there are still people who see Lin Fei's "terrible" side.
I don’t know if Lin Fei’s injury has an impact on his All-Star votes. If there is an impact, no one can imagine how many votes a healthy Lin Fei can get. When Lin Fei stands on the court, how many fans will be fanatical for him. At the same time, Lin Fei not only firmly occupies the first place in the All-Star votes, but his words are enough to make another player with the most second-rate stars become an All-Star player in the league. In other words, his words seem to change the entire All-Star votes. Even David Stern does not have such super ability. As a player, Lin Fei’s influence seems to be unprecedented in the history of the league.
"Incredible, really incredible. Although I also think that Lin Fei's remarks that his teammate Cairns is better than himself are still questionable, this really reflects his super powerful influence. This influence seems to be reflected in the number of fans and the fanaticism of the fans." As Keynes's most loyal fan, although Coolie is big-mouthed, he has always stood firmly on Lin Fei's front.
"First of all, I have to congratulate Keynes on being able to defeat Kobe, one of the greatest players of our NBA active players in the first round of votes. This shows that this young man is indeed improving and becoming more and more excellent. I guarantee that our NBA vote counting system is fair. But we cannot guarantee that it is absolutely fair, just like there is no absolutely fair thing in the world, but I think the votes of fans are objective and they have the right to choose their favorite players." NBA president Stern said this, but perhaps Stern began to plan in his heart. Can Lin Fei's unprecedented influence be used? Since Yao Ming retired, NBA has been looking for a player to replace Yao Ming and become the nationalization of NBA.
The most representative figures, although Nowitzki, Gasol, Parker, and Ginobili, are all excellent, but they seem to be unable to reach the top-level influence in the world. They cannot fascinate hundreds of millions of people in the world at the same time at the same time, and Lin Fei may be able to replace all of this. Lin Fei's scoring achievements have not appeared in the league for more than ten years. Even if he looks at the history of the league, it is rare. At the same time, Lin Fei has achieved many achievements, the scoring champion, and I don't know how many times he can win the scoring champion. All-Star MVP seems to be careful to explain the problem. At the same time, the best sixth man and the influence he brought to the Warriors. At the same time, his identity as a Chinese player and all factors have led Lin Fei to the path of super global superstars.
Lin Fei actually didn't have much concept in his mind. From the beginning of joining the team, then the school team, and then preparing to join the CBA, he miraculously entered the NBA, and then from the bench to the main force overnight, from the main force to a core player, and from a core player to a top superstar in the league. Step by step, Lin Fei himself didn't even think of everything now. He has always felt that he was humble and never thought that he had a word like "great" to describe it. It was almost impossible for him to think of how much influence he would have. This influence would even exceed the All-Star votes.
Although the All-Star trend has been rising, the Warriors' training is still very intense because they all want to be the protagonists of the All-Star. Lin Fei's injury has completely recovered, and Keynes's situation may be a bit embarrassing now. If he wants to compete for the All-Star starter, he must ensure that he plays a superstar data, just like he did it in the past game, but Lin Fei also needs to get back his form. In this way, Keynes seems to be difficult to guarantee.
