Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 118 Doubt
"Oakland All-Star Game, the western team starts, center Shaquille O'Neal, forwards Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, back line is Wang Hao and Gary Payton."

The front was fine, but when they heard the last two names, everyone was dumbfounded.

Sean Knight, in particular, felt a burst of pain in his face.

The swearing words just now lingered, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Sean Knight protested loudly, and he had good reason to suspect that ESPN was deliberately messing with him.

Don't say that ESPN won't do this. This TV station has a bad record in this regard.

In fact, he couldn't help but be so suspicious, after all, Wang Hao and Gary Payton had been lagging behind in the votes before.

Even Sean Knight knew about it through a special way.

Five days ago, in the NBA's internal All-Star ballot statistics, the votes of Wang Hao and Gary Payton were already far behind.

Otherwise, do you think Sean Knight is so arrogant and ignorant, daring to speak nonsense here without knowing anything?
Instead of answering Sean Knight's query, Mike Breen continued.

"In addition, the NBA officially announced a piece of news, which can be regarded as an explanation of this matter.

Just two days ago, Nike helped Huaxia fans cast a large number of All-Star votes.

This is a joint event between the NBA and Nike, in order to allow more fans the opportunity to participate in the All-Star event. "

"how can that be?"

Sean Knight opened his mouth, wanting to reprimand the NBA officials for their unruly actions, but he didn't know what to say?
Said that Nike should not help Huaxia fans vote?
In fact, even American fans rarely take the initiative to send All-Star votes to the NBA headquarters.

Every time the All-Star voting starts, NBA officials will put the All-Star ballots in various places, including various restaurants and cafes such as McDonald's and KFC.

Fans only need to fill in the ballots, and NBA officials will naturally take back the ballots.

Similarly, the NBA officials and Nike only took back the statistics of the All-Star votes of Chinese fans.

Just as Sean Knight was stunned, the entire American basketball world was in an uproar.

It is really unacceptable for a foreign player and a rookie to become an All-Star starter.

Especially on the US network, there is already the shadow of the keyboard man, and he has begun to point out the country.

"Oh my God! What are NBA officials doing? What makes that guy an All-Star?"

"NBA officials want to embrace China, so are they planning to give up American fans?"

"It's unbelievable that Kobe didn't become an All-Star starter, Kidd didn't become an All-Star starter, a rookie took this position!"

……

Of course, there are also many fans who analyze various situations reasonably from a rational point of view.

"Oh, we can't be more rational. Why can't Wang be the All-Star starter? Is it because of his skin color, or because of his nationality?"

"Get rid of it, keep your eyes open and take a look. He averaged 21.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. As a rookie All-Star starter, his performance is not the best, and it is definitely not the worst."

"I keep saying that I am an NBA fan, but I don't participate in the All-Star voting, and I don't allow Huaxia fans to vote?"

……

When they saw these rational fans telling them the facts, they began to put aside the facts again.

Looking at the comments on the Internet, there are already some inheritances of keyboard warriors, but it is a pity that there is still a la carte.

Wang Hao was in a good mood, and he accepted it with peace of mind when Huaxia fans voted him into the All-Star starter.

Also talk about the All-Star voting situation.

This year's vote champion is the sophomore Vince Carter, who has won the love of a large number of fans with his highly entertaining style of play.

Of course, what is more important is that Vince Carter has won the support of a large number of Canadian fans.

It is said that Wang Hao entered the All-Star by relying on the Chinese fans, but in the same way, Carter also became the top voter by virtue of the Canadian fans.

The top ticket in the West is O'Neal, and O'Neal, who is now at the peak, is definitely the most dominant star in the NBA.

In the Western Conference back line, Wang Hao became the number one guard in the Western Conference with 122 million votes.

Gary Payton also benefited from Wang Hao's teammates, and the All-Star votes have increased significantly.

He won a total of 112 million All-Star votes, and together with Wang Hao, he became the All-Star starter.

As for Kidd and Kobe, both have 109 million All-Star votes, with Kidd leading slightly.

"Wang, don't worry, I will pass the ball to you in the All-Star Game."

Gary Payton was very happy, and he even let him complete the reversal, and he really became the All-Star starter.

Although he is sure to be able to enter the All-Star, it is only the difference between the starter and the substitute.

But as an NBA player who strives to be the first in everything, it is naturally more gratifying to be able to become the starter.

Why is Gary Payton upset with Kobe?
It's not that Kobe is more popular and has taken away his All-Star starting position, and he doesn't think Kobe's performance is better.

At least, in recent seasons, Gary Payton and Jason Kidd are the best guards in the West.

Not only Gary Payton, but others also congratulated Wang Hao, after all, this is an All-Star!
Ruben Patterson: "Wang, you did a good job and performed well in the All-Star Game!"

Rashard Lewis: "Congratulations, Wang!"

……

Both of them are rookies that the Supersonic team has worked hard to cultivate. One offense and one defense can definitely help the team.

And the two of them are also full of pride.

Previously, no matter how good Wang Hao performed, both of them had the desire to compete.

However, now, with the All-Star starters released, the two understand that this gap is indelible.

Because they get along with Wang Hao day and night, the two can clearly recognize the gap.

But if it was someone else, it might not be so!

For example, the three musketeers of the Milwaukee Bucks are a bit annoyed that this rookie can enter the All-Star starter.

Ray Allen: "Pitchers are also eligible to be All-Star starters, so I think fans should keep their eyes open."

Glenn Robinson: "Oh my god, that rookie, an All-Star starter, is unbelievable!"

Sam Cassell: "For a rookie to become an All-Star starter, this is indeed a big blow for most NBA players."

……

That's right, the first game after the announcement of the All-Star starter is the challenge against the Bucks at home.

Today's Bucks are not a stepping team, let alone the son of the league, but a small team that no one cares about.

Under George Karl, the Bucks, led by the Three Musketeers, dominated offense.

Although it has not yet been fully run-in, the Bucks' offense is still at the league's top level.

The three can average more than 60 points per game. Such offensive firepower is definitely worthy of vigilance by all teams.
