Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 106 All-Star Canvass

After the game against the Bulls, even though it was already night, the Sonics still chose to return to Seattle.

Because, there is a key battle next.

The Sonics sit at home and will face the challenge of the Philadelphia Digital Team on Christmas Day.

A duel between two all-star point guards, a duel between the strongest shield and the sharpest spear.

By the way, there is one more thing. On December 12th, the All-Star voting started.

Speaking of the All-Stars, Wang Hao is actually quite entangled.

If you say you don't want to be an All-Star, it must be a lie. After all, this is the most watched stage in the NBA besides the Finals.

Moreover, next year, Carter will participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, maybe he can join in the fun.

But are the All-Stars so easy to get in?
Some people may say that Yao Ming, and even Yi Jianlian, almost became the All-Star starter.

But there is a problem with this, that is, there is no such thing as an All-Star online voting.

It can be said that Yao Ming was able to enter the All-Star team in his rookie season in 2003.

In addition to the support of the vast number of Huaxia fans, there is another very important point, that is, the use of online voting.

With a few clicks on the computer, you can vote for Yao Ming, why not do it?

Wang Hao still remembered that he had voted for Yao Ming when he was in Yuanshikong, and he even called on his friends to vote for Yao Ming.

But now, there is no such thing as online voting, only voting by mail.

Online voting is free, but it costs more than ten dollars to send mail to the United States.

More than ten yuan in 2000 is not too exaggerated, but it is not a small number, especially for the student party.

But giving up directly seems a bit unwilling.

It really takes 100 million votes to make it into the All-Star starters, which, to be honest, might be a bit of a stretch.

Wang Hao quickly checked last year's All-Star voting. He remembered that the number of All-Star votes in this period was not that exaggerated.

By the way, the NBA was suspended for half of the season last year, and the All-Star game was not held, so we have to look at the year before last.

The year before last, that is, the 1997-1998 season, when Jordan was still in the league, he must be the top voter.

By the way, let me also say that because the attention of the slam dunk contest is decreasing day by day, there is no slam dunk contest for this year's All-Stars.

Moreover, there is no skill challenge at this time.

Let's talk about the All-Star votes. The last All-Star vote was Jordan, who won 100 million votes.

Moreover, this is the most popular era of inside duels in the NBA, and inside players generally get high votes.

Among the starters in the East and West, Kobe received the fewest votes, with less than 40 votes.

In other words, it is possible to become an All-Star starter with less than half of the votes.

Be careful, that's half of the ticket king.

It's just that, after all, this is the data from two years ago. This year, even 50 votes are not enough.

As far as Wang Hao knows, this season should be the first time that Carter has become the All-Star vote leader by virtue of his flying style.

Moreover, it is also the first time in history that the number of votes is close to 200 million, which seems to be a little bit short.

At that time, many people felt that it was a pity, but this record was eventually broken by Carter himself.

In other words, only around 100 million votes can become an All-Star starter.

If you want to be sure, it must be at least 100 million or more. There is no way, the competition in the West is too fierce.

As the best guards in the NBA today, Kidd and Gary Payton are definitely popular candidates for starting.

Then there is Kobe, the last All-Star, he has already squeezed into the starting lineup.

Although he was injured for a period of time this season, his performance after his comeback is quite exciting.

Since his comeback this month, Bryant has averaged 22.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Coupled with the fact that it is backed by a big ball market like Los Angeles, there will definitely be a lot of votes that can be obtained.

In addition, there is also a white chocolate Jason Williams, who also attracts countless fans with his coquettish passing.

In this way, 100 million votes are a bit hanging.

Damn, the pressure of this number is not small. Although there are many Huaxia fans, most of them don't know how to vote.

However, this is an All-Star!
It's not in Wang Hao's character to just give up like this. Since there is a chance, he will naturally struggle.

As for why Wang Hao was placed among the defenders and not among the forwards, to be honest, he didn't understand.

It may be related to the player information reported by the team, he is really the position of shooting guard.

The reason is also very simple, today's forward line, the competition is more intense, Garnett and Duncan basically occupy the starting position.

Even though he was very busy, Wang Hao still took time to accept interviews from domestic media.

"Wang Hao, hello, nice to meet you! I'm Su Qun, a reporter from Sports Weekly."

"Hello, Mr. Su."

Wang Hao is no stranger to the one in front of him, and he can be regarded as a relatively well-known basketball commentator in China.

Today's Su Qun, just over [-] years old, is considered a leading figure in domestic coverage of the NBA.

This is not the first time he has come to the United States to report news about the NBA.

"Wang Hao, we have two main purposes for this interview, one is to let domestic fans know you better?
You don't know, now our domestic fans pay a lot of attention to you.

It's just that there are limited ways for everyone to pay attention to you, only a few live broadcasts every week.

As for you in real life, everyone doesn't know much about you. We intend to report you comprehensively this time.

Not only you, we also hope to be able to interview your parents, and even former classmates and friends! "

"Of course I have no problem. As for my parents, it still depends on their own wishes."

Su Qun quickly said: "Of course! Then there is the second purpose, we will promote the All-Star for you and call on fans to vote for you.

In fact, in the past few days, many friends around me have asked how NBA All-Stars should vote.

Many people are willing to vote, but they don't know how to vote. After all, many people have never been in touch with cross-border mail. "

"Thank you so much! To be honest, I am of course looking forward to the All-Stars.

However, I'm not in such a hurry. After all, this is my first season, so it doesn't matter if I can't make it. "

What nonsense are you talking about, the best training is so busy, and you even pick time to be interviewed, isn't it just to canvass votes.

"Don't worry, I think the chances are great. There are not many other things in our country, but there are many people.

We have calculated that with about 100 million votes, there is a chance to enter the All-Star.

One of our 1000 people votes for you, and you can enter the All-Star.

The year before last, Kobe of the Lakers was an All-Star as a substitute, so of course you can. "
