NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 25 Shocking All-Star votes!

After the interview, Lin Tian returned to his apartment near the arena.

Although the rent here is not cheap, compared to his current salary, it is a drop in the bucket.

With another two months of salary, he can even buy a suite in the central business district of Los Angeles.

There are several Lakers players who also rented nearby apartments, including Nick Young, but Nick Young went there in style after get off work.

Bored, Lin Tian turned on the TV in the room, and there were two other teams playing at this time.

These two teams are the Mavericks and the Heat.

They met in the finals a few years ago, but James was still on the Heat at that time, and now these two teams have basically withdrawn from the championship.

Scott has always asked them to watch more games and videos of other teams during their breaks, and Lin Tian has practiced this.

After watching the games of these two teams, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Lin Tian turned on his mobile phone to check sports news as usual.

His name still dominates the headlines of major news outlets:
[Lakers rookie Lin Tian scored 40 points tonight!The death block shocked Kobe! 】

[Lin Tian scored 8 steals in a single game, setting a new record for steals in a single game this season! 】

[Kobe truce due to injury, the 19-year-old led the team to a big victory over the Suns! 】

[Another future super giant is rising?Lin Tian uttered bold words, claiming that the best rookie is already in his pocket! 】

[The Lakers stopped losing easily, surpassing the Suns and ranking 14th in the Western Conference!Lin Tiangong is indispensable! 】

[Kobe's designated successor?He took the initiative to rub shoulders for rookies! 】

……

These news headlines include sports newspapers from the United States and sports self-media from China.

Lin Tian's current attention is very high in the United States, but it is even more frighteningly high in the Celestial Dynasty.

As long as his name is in the headline of any news, there will be at least thousands of comments below.

He didn't have time to read these comments one by one, but he could feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans.

The last time a player with such a high level of domestic attention was Dayao.

Lin Tian was about to go to bed when he suddenly received a long message from the Lakers assistant coach.

Open this message, the above is the latest data and technical characteristics of the Kings players.

The next game they will challenge is the Kings, but it will be the night after tomorrow.

Lin Tian looked at the above data, and the current boss of the Kings is undoubtedly DeMarcus Cousins.

Cousins ​​can even be said to be the current number one center in the league, and he is at his peak.

Playing more than 30 games this season, Cousins ​​averaged 27 points per game, ranking No.5.

The four people ahead of Cousins ​​are Curry, Westbrook, Harden and Durant.

But the record of the Kings is not so good, they are ranked 10th in the West.

If you maintain this ranking and finish the regular season, the Kings won't even be able to enter the playoffs.

In addition to Cousins, the Kings also have good players like Rudy Gay and Rajon Rondo.

The message sent to Lin Tian by the Lakers assistant coach introduced in detail the technical characteristics of each player of the Kings.

Lin Tian fell asleep after reading this message.

The next morning, he boarded a Lakers plane near the arena with Nick Young nearby.

Although the Lakers' next opponent, the Kings, is only a few hundred kilometers away from Los Angeles, it is obviously faster to fly than other means of transportation.

They will arrive in Sacramento one day in advance, then spend the night in the hotel, and then fly to the next away game after the game the next day...

In the next two games, they will play away games, so they will be more tired.

After boarding the plane, Kobe was already on the plane, and he waved to Lin Tian, ​​wanting Lin Tian to sit next to him.

Lin Tian didn't refuse. After sitting down, he asked, "Kobe, is your shoulder feeling better?"

Kobe smiled bitterly: "This is a very old injury, it is difficult to heal, but I can play tomorrow night."

He has always been in the line of fire with minor injuries, and Lin Tian can understand.

The two were chatting, when Nick Yang suddenly walked over holding his fruit 6splus: "Hey! Guys! The results of the first stage of the All-Star voting are out!"

Kobe didn't even raise his eyelids, because he knew that although his performance was average, he definitely got a lot of votes.

Lin Tian asked: "So?"

He is very self-aware. He has only played 4 games so far this season, and he is basically sure that he will miss the All-Star.

But Nick Young's next sentence made everyone on the court drop their jaws in shock: "Lin! You got 62 votes in the first round! Second only to Kobe's 71, ranking second!"

"What?" Lin Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then took Nick Yang's cell phone.

His mobile phone page shows that this news is the data released by the NBA's official social media 5 minutes ago.

The results of the first stage of voting are clearly written on it:

No.1: Kobe; votes: 712000.

No.2: Lin Tian; Votes: 621200.

No.3: James; votes: 531020.

No. 4: Curry...

Other players on the plane also took out their mobile phones to search for relevant news.

Lin Tian was stunned for a long time, he thought that his popularity would not be too low after the fermentation of the previous games.

But he didn't expect that his popularity would be so high!
The All-Star voting actually started last month, and at that time, Lin Tian was only a player in the Development League!

From his first game in the nba to today, only 10 days have passed!
It's incredible to get so many votes in 10 days.

It wasn't until this time that he remembered that the current All-Star voting mechanism seemed to have not been reformed.

Whether a certain player can be selected as an All-Star starter, the decision is entirely in the hands of the fans!

As long as there are enough fans for this player, no matter how rubbish he plays, he may be promoted to the All-Star.

Lin Tian's votes rank first among all forwards in the West, and even Kawhi Lennart and Kevin Durant have to stand aside!

After a while, Lin Tiancai regained his composure.

He knew that most of the votes he received came from domestic fans!
Although he only played four games, the nba is very popular in China, and his performance in the last few games can be called a superstar, which also completely drove the fans to vote!
If the All-Star rules don't change, he, Lin Tian, ​​may become another Celestial player to enter the NBA All-Star starting lineup after Dayao.

"Oh! My God! Lin! You have too many fans!"

"Unbelievable! You got more votes than LeBron!"

"Lin! Your popularity is so high! You're going to be an All-Star!"

Nick Yang and Lu Wei couldn't help exclaiming.

Kobe was also surprised: "This is really unbelievable."
