Chapter 281 The All-Star Voting Begins

Salt Lake City.

Although Stockton is still recovering from his injuries, Karl Malone, whom Li Shengli was looking forward to, finally returned to the rematch, and the Jazz chariot set off again.

The Jazz played the Knicks on December 12, and the specific arrangements for this season's All-Stars have been announced long before. The voting time is at the end of December, the starting list is announced at the end of January, followed by the list of substitutes announced in early February.

If you want to make it to this year's All-Stars, your personal performance in the next month or so will be very important, and the most intuitive manifestation of personal performance is data, and use data to win votes.

……

Back to the schedule.

For the Jazz, Li Shengli and Malone jointly ruled the penalty area. This abnormal combination can no longer be found in the league. Not to mention other positions, some people once thought that Olajuwon and Barkley should be brought together, or other top centers. + The combination of top power forwards can have the opportunity to compete with Li Ma, because... the Utah Jazz has maintained an undefeated record since the Knicks until the middle and late January, and won 15 consecutive victories. The total record is 33 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.

If you have to say that this season is different, the sudden emergence of the new King Jazz is definitely the biggest variable, and the Jazz's 15-game winning streak has completely caused a wave of chasing the Jazz in the entire league. The core players of each team In terms of data, they are all in hot pursuit, even reaching a crazy level.

……

First up is the Chicago Bulls.

Jordan experienced the turmoil of losing his father. Fortunately, he did not give up the NBA and switched to playing feather baseball. Because he missed the championship last season, he is in a brave state this season. He scored 4+ points in 50 consecutive games in early January. The scoring average reached 30.1 points, temporarily ranking first in the league.

4+ points in 50 consecutive games?

This not only means that Jordan's personal state climaxes, but also means that the Bulls' attack power has also risen.

……

Then there's the San Antonio Spurs.

Since Admiral David Robinson was scored 72 points by Li Shengli, it would be false to say that he was not aggrieved, so he played every game with all his strength, and the joining of Rodman was really important to him. It's good news, it provided rebound support and completely liberated his offensive ability.

Before that, there was Jordan, who ranked first and the leading scorer in the game, and then Li Shengli scored 72 points in the hands of the Spurs. The general finally broke out. In the game against the Clippers, he scored 71 points in one fell swoop.

71 point?

Seriously, it's embarrassing because he still hasn't surpassed Li Shengli's 72, and more importantly...his 71 is slightly different from Li Shengli's 72, because he didn't score another point until the last second Ball, breaking the record of 72 points.

For this reason, Admiral Robinson was under tremendous pressure, not only because he felt aggrieved, but also because his scoring was ridiculed by an absolute majority of fans, especially the Clippers fans who made the background board.

After the game, the general did not cover up or explain this matter, and admitted it openly, which makes people think that this is a real man, a pure man, but... 71 points are really scary, even if it is a pure brush, it is difficult No, and strictly speaking, 70+ points cannot be achieved without deliberate brushing.

……

Except for the Bulls and Spurs, Olajuwon, Barkley, Ewing, and even the Hornets' aunt Johnson, almost everyone's data has risen slightly in the recent period, and among them... It is also worth mentioning that O'Neal and morning.

With Li Shengli in front, O'Neill and Mourning seem a little quiet, but in fact, the current average data of these two guys is quite amazing.

Mourning scored 21.5 points + 10.2 rebounds + 3.1 blocks. His rookie season averaged a double-double, and he is still maintaining it. He is definitely the center of the first echelon. As for O'Neal's 29.6 points + 13.2 rebounds + 2.9 blocks, Li Shengli is even more brutal... …26.4 points + 18.3 rebounds + 4.5 blocks.

The score is less than that of O'Neal, which is because Malone took part of the shot, but no one doubts that if he continues to play, this season's rebounding leader and block leader, the two kings have already determined their ownership.

The three major centers in the 92 center forward year are really amazing, and compared with the old three major centers...

Olajuwon 27.3 points + 11.9 rebounds + 3.7 caps.

David Robinson 29.5 points + 10.7 rebounds + 3.3 caps.

Patrick Ewing 24.5 points + 11.2 rebounds + 2.7 caps.

In terms of scoring, O'Neal's 29.6 narrowly overwhelmed the three old players, and in rebounding and blocking shots, Li Shengli slammed the other five players. In a confrontation between the old and new camps... the 92-level center is the best.

……

Back to the All-Star voting.

With data, there will naturally be votes. All six centers are on the list, but when there is only one starting center in the East and West, O'Neal overwhelms Ewing in the East, and Li Shengli also unexpectedly overtakes Olajuwon and David in the West. -Robinson and others, not surprisingly, the starting centers on both sides have been determined.

As for the places in other positions, the competition for places is also quite fierce. With more than ten days before the deadline for voting, the teams with the tightest schedule have only four or five games. Then you can stand out and become the main starter.

As for the Jazz, Li Shengli and Malone are both All-Star candidates, and with the aura of the championship last season, there is no need to worry too much.

After the 15-game winning streak, the two brothers who sat firmly on the Diaoyutai won four more games, reaching an astonishing 19 consecutive hits. The arrival of the 43rd game made Li Shengli a little excited, because... the opponent was the Charlotte Hornets.

……

The game was scheduled for the 28th. The Hornets arrived in Salt Lake City the afternoon before. In the evening, Li Shengli sneaked into the hotel where the Hornets were staying, and met with Curry and Boggs. Before the Hornets, Li Shengli and Curry lived together. One room, and now Boggs and Curry are having sex.

"Li, did you ask, what did Coach Sloan say?" Boggs asked impatiently, even wanting to jump up and hit Li Shengli's knee, "Stockton is injured, and the Jazz is short of point guards." Ah, if you want me, you can do it after the All-Star game."

"Fuck off, shameless bastard, when Stockton rematch, are you sure you want to be a substitute?" Curry slapped him, "I'm different, the Jazz are short of a good shooter, obviously I will be very suitable."

"Shut up, all of you, what are you thinking? Sir, why would you go to the Hornets for the two of you, me?" Even though he knew that the two brothers were just farting for nothing, Li Shengli still gave them a blank look.

The Boggs thief laughed, and then said: "Get down to business. Li, can you give me some water for tomorrow's game?"

"What? Why?"

"Where are there so many why? I want to play All-Star. I didn't even get a substitute last season. I must play once this season!"

"All-Star?! Do you have a vote?"

"Shit, is that why you don't care about me? I'm the No. 5 guard in the Eastern Conference now." Boggs said angrily.

"Damn it, you asked me to release the water on the fifth day. I only choose two guards as the starting lineup. It's only a few days before the end of the voting. You can still rush to the top two?" Li Shengli scolded Boggs, "And, how to release the water? Could it be that I let my teammates not guard against you, this is simply impossible."

"Come on, I can't be a starter, I can still be a substitute!"

"What are you busy with?"

Boggs grinned, stepped on a chair and whispered a few words in Li Shengli's ear, while Curry on the side was sweating all over listening.

"Aren't you crazy? Are you trying to...cover...my...cap?"
