Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 296 All-Star Voting

"boom!"

A powerful dunk, Reagan Fox desperately wanted to defend, but eventually became the background board.

Don't look at PJ Brown's body is a bit thin, but it depends on who he compares with?

Under the huge impact, Reagan Fox couldn't stand still at all, and was directly knocked out of the bottom line.

Sure enough, without the special training of Fernando Valley, the current Reagan Fox is a little more interesting.

He was a little bit overwhelmed by the huge impact, and hit him hard all of a sudden.

PJ Brown's dunk this time is not only 2 points, but also a sanction for the Lakers.

The defense can't keep up, and the offense is restricted. The Lakers' game is already very difficult.

105:91
In the end, the Sonics took the Lakers by 14 points.

In this game, Wang Hao and Gary Payton greatly restricted O'Neal on the defensive end, which is the key to winning the game.

Because Gary Payton still has to defend Kobe, the efficiency of this game is not very high.

In the whole game, he made 15 of 6 shots, scored 16 points and 10 assists, but had 4 steals.

Wang Hao continued his fiery state since this season, scoring 41 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in the game.

It can be seen from the steals alone that the current defensive strategy of the Sonics has indeed achieved very good results.

It can be said that the result of this game definitely surprised many people.

The Sonics are very capable, which they admit, but in front of the Lakers, that is far from enough.

There is not much reason, just relying on the Lakers' two consecutive championships, this reason is enough.

However, the result turned out to be very real.

In this game, the Lakers were unable to cope with the Sonics on both ends of the offense and defense.

And this result also triggered a big discussion among fans.

"I've said it a long time ago, the championship of the Lakers is nothing more than good luck, the champion of luck."

"Brothers, believe me, the championship of this season definitely belongs to the Sonics."

"Championship? It's just the regular season, okay? The regular season doesn't determine the championship."

"That's right, if you want to win the championship, you have to let the Sonics withstand the impact of the Lakers first."

"I have to remind everyone that the Sonics have lost to the Lakers in the playoffs the past two years."

……

As the second of the two most popular teams in the West, after the game, it will naturally attract a lot of attention.

Not only the attention of fans, but also the attention of many media.

Moreover, the media's attention should be more in-depth, after all, it's just for the sake of it.

"Sonics' secret to winning, fast break and defensive pressure!"

ESPN columnist Bill Simmons analyzed the Sonics' victory from a more professional perspective.

Speaking of Bill Simmons, some people may have read his book about basketball and the NBA, General History of Basketball.

This guy threatened at the beginning of the article.

"The Sonics will end the Lakers' three-peat!"

This is very firm and bold. Do you think this is Bill Simmons supporting the Sonics?

Maybe, he might really be optimistic about the Sonics, but this is not the most important reason.

The most important reason is naturally because of his status as a Celtics fan.

Who would most like the Lakers dynasty to end?Must be Celtics and Celtics fans.

"The oppressive defense can not only make the opponent make more mistakes, but also restrict the opponent from passing the ball inside.

This side effectively protects the Supersonic's inside line. The originally weak inside line is not so easy to break through. "

……

"Offense? The Sonics' offense may not be the most flashy, nor is it the most impactful.

However, the Sonics' offense is definitely the most comprehensive in the NBA, with fast breaks, positioning, long shots, and low post. "

……

Bill Simmons analyzed for a while, and finally summed up two points, that is, defense and offense.

He believes that as long as the Sonics are the best in these two aspects, they can definitely win the Lakers.

Well, no matter which team does both offense and defense well, it wins.

As a columnist, Bill Simmons certainly would not say such stupid things, but has a detailed analysis.

In fact, the Supersonics have done a good job in both aspects.

The Lakers win, in fact, more through offense, an offense that cannot be defended at all.

In fact, for those experienced basketball practitioners, they will definitely find familiar points from the Sonics.

For example, the Bulls who won three consecutive championships twice, or the Heat who established the Big Three dynasty in the future.

The two teams are similar to the Sonics, that is, the inside is a bit weak, but the outside is very strong.

Their defensive strategy is the same, that is, the outside line should be as oppressive as possible to defend, and share the pressure for the inside line.

Not only that, the outside line often needs to double-team to help defend the inside line, and even protect the basket.

Jordan and Pippen did it, James and Wade did it, and they all succeeded.

Facts have proved that the supersonic approach is correct!

Of course, there are still obvious differences between the three teams.

First up is the Heat, where turnover-making snapbacks are crucial when taking advantage of greatness and James' oppressive defense.

Then there is the Bulls. In fact, in that era, the NBA did not pay attention to fast breaks, but favored positional warfare.

And Jordan's unsolvable singles ability and scoring finish allow the Bulls to be unsolvable offensively.

In comparison, the Sonics do not have the unsolvable offense of the Bulls, nor the super athleticism of the Heat.

It's just that the Sonics are more comprehensive, capable of both inside and outside, especially the three-pointer. The two teams are simply incomparable.

The SuperSonics defeated the Lakers. If you want to say how great it is, it's not enough.

After all, this is just a regular season, nothing more.

However, through this game, at least everyone will understand that the Lakers are not invincible.

At the same time, the momentum of the supersonic is also rising.

If the two teams can meet in the playoffs, I believe the Lakers will still play very hard.

Especially Wang Hao's performance shocked countless people.

Now, all teams have to consider a problem when facing the Supersonics.

How to limit Wang Hao?

There are many teams that consider this issue, but there are very few that can do it.

Relying on the momentum of the victory over the Lakers, the Sonics have another winning streak and entered the December game.

It wasn't until the Sonics had a historic 20-1 record that they lost Game [-].

In the away game against the Heat, the Sonics lost unexpectedly.

The pressure brought by the long winning streak, coupled with the difficulties of away games, it is not incomprehensible to lose.

And, that's actually a good thing.

Regardless of the exaggerated record of the Supersonics, it is actually meaningless to be praised by major media.

As for the winning streak?
The Sonics are only winning 10 consecutive victories, which is completely out of reach from the record of 33 consecutive victories created by the Lakers.

In this case, there is absolutely no need to bring pressure for media praise.

After all, the Warriors had 73 wins but lost the championship in the finals. This kind of shame impressed Wang Hao deeply.

"All-star voting is waiting for you!"

"The NBA opens up a whole new way to vote."

"With the advent of the NBA in the Internet age, you can participate in the All-Star voting through a computer."

……

After the road trip, the Sonics had a few more days to rest, and it was rare for Wang Hao to make an appointment.

Anne Hathaway has just finished filming her new movie and came to Seattle specially.

Naturally, Wang Hao is not polite to send that one away.

After finishing what he loved to do, Wang Hao saw the news as soon as he turned on the TV, which really surprised him.

"Are you an All-Star? Honey, you must be starting again this year."

Anne Hathaway wore Wang Hao's jersey, showing a pair of straight long legs, which made people's eyes uncomfortable.

I don't know why?
It seems normal for girls to wear boys' clothes.

But once a boy puts on a girl's clothes, it is either considered a spoof or a pervert.

It's quite strange, and it's not just Anne Hathaway who likes to wear it like this, and I don't know why it is for convenience?
"Starting? No, I think I can be voted king!"

After a short period of surprise, Wang Hao said such a sentence with great certainty, full of confidence.

"Of course, dear, I believe you have the strength."

Anne Hathaway opened her mouth wide and smiled brightly, but her tone was a bit perfunctory.

As an out-and-out American, Anne Hathaway knows very well that it is almost impossible for Wang Hao to become the all-star voter.

Is it because Wang Hao's data is not good enough?

Or is it because of the Sonics' poor record?

No, just because of Wang Hao's skin color and identity, many people don't like him.

Racial prejudice is actually a problem that exists in every ethnic group.

What's more, Wang Hao's identity is still a foreigner, a foreigner who came to play in the NBA.

Even in the CBA, the popularity of foreign players is obviously not as good as that of domestic players. This is true.

Wang Hao didn't care about Anne Hathaway's words. After all, the traversers always had a sense of superiority in front of the natives.

What he cared more about was actually Anne Hathaway's big sexy mouth. If it was used for other things, wouldn't it be...

Then again, Wang Hao is very confident this time.

As for the reason, it is naturally because the online voting function has been turned on, which means that Huaxia fans can vote.

In the past two years, there were indeed many Huaxia fans who traveled thousands of miles to vote for Wang Hao.

However, this is a minority after all.

Among other things, there are very few people who just know the NBA's All-Star voting method.

And the number of fans who are qualified, capable, and willing to vote is much smaller.

However, the advent of the era of online voting simplifies everything.

Just through the Internet, you can vote for Wang Hao with a flick of your finger. If you have anything to say, of course you must support it.

In 2001, the number of Chinese netizens exceeded 2500 million.

You know, among netizens, there are a lot of young people, and the overlap rate with basketball fans is not low.

As long as one tenth of the people vote for Wang Hao, it is absolutely beyond the imagination of Americans.

In the original time and space, Yao Ming was able to get more than 100 million votes in the new season, surpassing O'Neal to become the All-Star starter.

You know, Yao Ming had just entered the NBA at that time, and there were not many fans in the United States.

And the more than 100 million votes were all supported by domestic fans.

If Wang Hao can get more than 100 million votes, it is not impossible to win an All-Star vote.

Although being the all-star ticket champion is not an honor, it's just that this thing has a real influence and appeal!

Among other things, when winning an All-Star ticket and negotiating an endorsement contract, you have to be more confident.

Wang Hao didn't delay either, and quickly contacted Yang Lei. Yes, he was one of Wang Hao's management team.

It is mainly responsible for domestic affairs. After all, although Jeff Schwartz is an excellent agent, he is not suitable for domestic affairs.

"My lord, I'm about to contact you. The new rules for the All-Star voting have been announced. Have you seen it?"

King, this is Yang Lei's address to Wang Hao.

Although he is older, isn't it a bit inappropriate to call the boss Xiao Wang?
"See, I also want to talk to you about this matter, contact our sponsors, and educate domestic fans.

Aren't Kobe and Iverson both competing for the All-Star vote?I think I can fight for it too. "

Propaganda about this kind of thing is absolutely indispensable.

Talking about fermented tap water, this kind of thing is only suitable when there is no other way, otherwise no one will refuse to promote it.

"I think you can also contact CCTV. The CCTV platform is the most reliable."

"CCTV? Is it possible?"

"How can it be impossible? We are doing this to win glory for our country and let more fans participate in NBA voting."

CCTV's platform, the audience is tens of millions of fans, especially the audience, and it is very targeted.

Since I was watching an NBA game, wouldn't it be reasonable to vote for Wang Hao after watching it if conditions permit?

Not only Wang Hao, but also so many sponsors on his back, will also make efforts in this matter.

To put it bluntly, Wang Hao's commercial value is higher, so the commercial contract they signed is also more valuable.

After this matter was settled, Wang Hao couldn't relax at all.

At some point, someone had climbed onto Wang Hao little by little.

Sitting on Wang Hao's stomach like this, the meaning is already obvious.

An imposing man, at this time, of course he can't be cowardly. If he has the ability, he will fight another three hundred rounds.

Thanks to Wang Hao, who has an iron body and is immune to injuries, otherwise it would be too much.

The All-Star voting is in full swing, and the NBA games are getting more lively.

The start of the new season is over, and the teams have adjusted their state to the best moment.

At this time, every strong dialogue match is as fierce as sparks hitting the earth.

CCTV has indeed increased the NBA broadcast this season.

No, in the first two days of the game, CCTV actually broadcast a China Derby match.

It's a pity that some people are disappointed.

Wang Zhizhi has just returned from injury, and he didn't get much playing time in the game, and even less matchups with Wang Hao.

It's just that, in this game, CCTV really promoted the NBA All-Star voting.

It is the first time that many fans know that they can vote for Wang Hao through the Internet.
