Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 112 The First Round of All-Star Voting
Losing San Antonio is also a helpless thing for the Sonics.

After all, back-to-back games are inherently difficult to play.

Speaking of back-to-back games, the Sonics are really unlucky. They have played back-to-back 5 times this season.

If it is not the most of all NBA teams, it is certainly not the least.

Regarding the arrangement of back-to-back matches, it is actually very particular, and it is not just a matter of luck.

The simple reason is that strong teams have fewer back-to-backs.

This is also for the league to ensure the state of strong teams and avoid injury problems for championship teams.

Relatively speaking, the team is weak and the record is not good, so it is natural to play more back-to-backs.

The Supersonics' performance last year was not good, so the league naturally didn't think too much about it when arranging the schedule.

This is also impossible. If the Sonics can maintain their record this season, maybe next year will be better.

Although he lost a game, he finally returned to the home court, which is undoubtedly good news.

It's just that the game back home is not easy to play, because they will win the Los Angeles Lakers again.

Not the incomplete Lakers last time, but the complete Lakers, Kobe Bryant has returned.

Moreover, since returning from injury, Kobe has played quite well.

With him on the perimeter, if other teams dare to double-team O'Neal without restriction, they will definitely be punished by him.

But if you don't double-team O'Neal, the inside line will definitely be penetrated by him.

This is where the OK combination is really strong. As long as they are there, no matter how the Lakers match up, they are all strong contenders for the championship.

If it weren't for O'Neal's lack of self-discipline, Kobe was too eager to seize power, leading to the premature disintegration of the OK combination.

Perhaps, they have a good chance of winning more championships.

Because whether it is 2003 or 2004, the Lakers are expected to win the championship.

No more gossip, let's get straight to the point, the game begins!
Before the game started, O'Neal was very relaxed, and even ran over to say hello and let them get ready to lose.

It's just that at this time, Wang Hao's back turned cold, it turned out that a cold gaze was staring at him.

Black Mamba is indeed a Black Mamba, this snake is venomous enough.

Not only Wang Hao found out, but also Gary Payton and O'Neill beside him.

"Hey, Wang, be careful, you have angered Kobe Bryant, he will not be soft today."

When he said this, O'Neill obviously gloated a little, and this guy also meant to watch the fun.

No wonder Kobe would fall out with him in the future, there was a reason for that, who would like someone who thinks about watching movies all day long.

Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we must win the game in the end."

"Oh, Wang, when you say this, do you think about the great Shaquille O'Neal? He certainly doesn't think so."

……

"Hey, Shaq, you shouldn't waste time, we need to warm up and beat them."

When he returned to his home halftime, Kobe suddenly spoke, and even wanted to teach O'Neill a lesson in his words.

Everyone in O'Neal is stupid, little brother, don't you understand, who is the boss of the team?

"Hey, little guy, great Shaq doesn't need a warm-up."

It has to be said that if someone who has a little understanding of the personalities of the two, they must have expected their final parting ways.

It can only be said that the two are completely different in terms of personality, handling of people, and attitude towards basketball.

Coupled with personality incompatibility, no matter what happens, it can actually be expected.

Kobe, although there are many shortcomings, but one thing to say, this guy is still full of charm.

Otherwise, it is impossible for him to become the first generation of national idol in the hearts of Huaxia fans.

No way, the reason why it is not Jordan is purely because Jordan's career is too early.

By the time Huaxia fans had the opportunity to pay attention to the NBA, Jordan was already at the end of his career and even retired.

Coupled with the bad things he did after becoming the team owner, how could he be a national idol.

Maybe someone will hold it up, saying that his idol is not Kobe, and he doesn't like Kobe at all.

However, at the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games, the longest live broadcast of all foreign athletes can already explain the problem.

To be honest, Wang Hao is not a Kobe fan. In fact, he is a champion fan.

Therefore, when the Lakers won two consecutive championships, he often watched the Lakers' games, and naturally he also watched Kobe play.

To be honest, he actually planned to have a good relationship with Kobe.

This is another superstar who loves training, and it's completely Wang Hao's dish.

If Kobe can become a temporary teammate and the two train together again, then he will not be able to take off!
It's a pity that at present, it seems that the chance of training together should not be great.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Just yesterday, the NBA officially announced the first round of All-Star voting.

There are not many surprises. Basically, the major stars from the east and the west basically all appear at the forefront of the voting list.

The East and West are headed by Vince Carter and Shaq O'Neal, temporarily becoming the top voters in the East and West.

Among them, Vince Carter temporarily led O'Neill with 75 votes and became the top voter in the first round of voting.

If there was any surprise, it was naturally Wang Hao.

Among the defenders in the Western Conference, Wang Hao temporarily ranked first with 37 votes in the first round.

Jason Kidd, who is ranked second, is less than 5000 votes behind Wang Hao, and has a chance to overtake at any time.

As for Kobe, he fell to third place.

This made Kobe very unconvinced. He was able to enter the All-Star starting the year before last, but he couldn't today. What is this?
From a substitute to a starter, his personal data and team performance are also more impressive, why can't he?

Also, it's going too far for a rookie to be an All-Star starter.

Well, this is the key to Kobe's displeasure.

Not only him, in fact, since the first round of voting results came out, many people have pantothenic acid.

Not to mention, so is Gary Payton!
Gary Payton's current All-Star voting is only fourth behind Wang Hao, Kidd and Kobe.

However, the gap is not too big.

Moreover, after the NBA League announced the voting results, it was worried that it would be questioned, so it specially announced the reason.

In the first round of All-Star voting, the NBA received more than [-] overseas votes.

Nearly 12 of them came from Huaxia, and most of them had Wang Hao's name among the votes.

Hearing this result, all the NBA stars were dumbfounded. Can they still play like this?
"Are there so many people in Huaxia? Can they really send ballots to the United States?"

Hearing Gary Payton's pantothenic acid and holding back his words, Wang Hao couldn't help but want to laugh.

Where is this going? It’s only 12 votes. Is it an exaggeration?
After all, with the domestic media's publicity, it is estimated that there are many fans who just learned about the NBA All-Star voting at this time.

Even, many people still haven't figured out how to vote for the NBA.
