Center first

Chapter 133 Game Rules
At the moment when the candidate list for the All-Star Night was released, one or two people from Rogge and Lin really understood the sentence that Grandpa Mao said back then, "Many people make things easier."Sure enough, it is easier to do things with more people. Even if Lin Yi is not included in the All-Star candidate list, it does not prevent the speed of his votes from multiplying exponentially. The influence of Fan Ling's continuous reports on domestic fans has made Lin Yi It has become another sustenance for them in the NBA.

The starting center for the Eastern Conference is Lin Yi, and the starting center for the Western Conference is YAO. What a wonderful picture that would be.Before Lin Yi was aware of it, domestic fan groups had already launched an attack on the NBA's official voting website by way of group army bombing. This force may be stronger than many people imagined, including Fan Ling and Including Rogge, none of them expected that Lin Yi would already have a popularity comparable to Yao in China.

The power of the Internet is huge at this moment, and the power of the Internet from China can almost dominate the voting rules of the NBA. 30% or more. This is the entire percentage of Chinese netizens who voted for NBA All-Stars. No wonder Ray Allen was yelling that it was unfair when the number of votes for space YI was already surpassing that of "Wolf King" Garnett.Just like when YAO squeezed the "big shark" O'Neal out of the Western Conference starting lineup, even O'Neal muttered, "There are too many Chinese." There was a kind of helplessness in his tone.

"The fans have too much power in this vote, which will lead to the final result not really reflecting the performance of the players in the regular season." Ray Allen said in an interview with the media.

"So, the league should reduce the power of the fans to speak. You basketball reporters watch more games than anyone else, and you should get more power to decide who participates in the All-Star. Let the person with the highest skill be the All-Star starter, This is more fair." Ray Allen chattered.

It's a pity that David Stein won't listen to his opinion, it's all because of economic considerations.Now that the US economy is very bad and the NBA's US market is shrinking, Stern needs to increase efforts to develop overseas markets, especially the Chinese market and the European market.

More and more Chinese basketball shoe manufacturers have signed their stars from Nike and other merchants. More and more NBA stars are going to show off in the distant ancient eastern country in summer, because there are their bosses and their money.This is what David Stein sees. He understands that this is the reality. If he wants to make money, opening his own market is the most sensible way.

However, David Stein will never throw the issue of unfair rules on the table. He understands that everyone can understand why, but as long as there is no handle in the hands of reporters, he can follow his own rules. The idea of ​​​​manipulating the direction of this voting rule.

However, space YI did add a lot of other factors to this debate. If he can produce convincing data like YAO, all of this may become a cloud. David Stein can also let the vote continue to go crazy, let International players appear more frequently on All-Star night.

It's a pity that data such as 9.7 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist obviously cannot match the position of an All-Star starting forward, so it is no wonder that everyone's finger is pointed at the voting rules, because they are eager to be on the All-Star night. Players, they are not bold enough to accuse David Stein himself.

It has actually become a habit for YAO to be far ahead in the number of votes. When he squeezed O'Neal to the bench in his rookie year, everyone still felt surprised, but now it has become a habit.And this big man's performance and statistics in the regular season are enough to prove that he is worthy of an All-Star starter. Although he can bring too little entertainment to others on the court, you cannot deny his strength.

"The All-Star Game is nothing more than a competition for fame. Where there are more fans, the stars in that place will get more votes." Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said.

"I think if the fans want to see the star, then when you see the star on the court, you will pay more money. YAO brings a lot of money from China to the NBA league, not to Forget that the money is paid out of a huge fan base."

This is the reality of the NBA. There are loopholes in the rules of the game, and it is inevitable to be exploited. What's more, this loophole was deliberately left by the creator of this rule.Everything is acceptable as long as it is done according to the rules.If the rules of the game are ignored and changed at will, that is the most terrible thing, because if the rules are not respected, then the game has no meaning of existence.

David Stein is happy to let such a controversial matter continue to quarrel, so that he will focus all eyes on him again. The NBA is still the same NBA, the world is still the same world, and the All-Stars will still let him He earns a lot of money, and he is business-oriented. He never thinks about the media's criticism of such rules. An alliance without news is such a dull alliance. Only by letting them continue to quarrel can the game be full of vitality and business opportunities.

What he is thinking now is that it is not only the space YI that is threatening Garnett's status, even the first-year rookie that the Heat just selected this year is also suddenly rising. Climbing to the second position in the selection, the distance from the first "Warcraft" Howard is getting closer and closer. As for the third-ranked 76ers center Durham Potter, he has long been dumped and can't see his shadow .

However, Lin Yi's sudden rise did not cause too much controversy. This little guy has steadily risen to the ninth position in the ranking of rebounds per game, with an average of 9.1 rebounds per game. The coach is tempted, not to mention that he can contribute 3.4 assists and 15.4 points per game. Such a comprehensive skill does not need any more comments. As long as the coach has no problem with his brain, he will put him in the starting position of his team inside.

In addition, not all the votes of this little guy come from that ancient country. There are also a lot of votes in the United States, especially concentrated in Phoenix and Oregon. Of course, there are many people who slander this kid on the official message board. From both Cleveland and New York.With regard to the small action at the basket and the bloodbath of Madison in New York, those fans of the Cavaliers and Knicks don't plan to just let it go, Lin Yi has become their number one thorn in the side.

The ending of Lin Yi's selection to the rookie game is almost doomed. Judging from the results of the first day's internal selection in the NBA, there is no suspense for the first-year Mayo, Derrick Rose, and Lin Yi to be selected. Individuals are neck-and-neck for Rookie of the Year, and any sane assistant coach would have voted for all three of them if they didn't want to be cursed to death by the fans.

The blowout explosion of rookies in the 08 class may have surprised everyone who focused on the 03 class. These little guys have shifted the eyes of those seniors to themselves since they entered the league. The explosive power contained in it makes people look sideways. These little guys have already won the respect of many people with their own hands. No one dares to ignore these so-called rookies. Rookies represent inexperience, but they also represent their vigor.

After thirty or forty games, although the spirit of these little guys has weakened a little bit, no one denies that their results have surpassed many others, and many old fritters have stumbled at the hands of these little guys. It has been several years since there has been such a fierce competition for the best rookie. David Stein is very pleased to see that the No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick, and No. [-] pick out of his hand erupt at the same time. The more chaotic the competition, the happier he is. Only the result Always full of suspense can keep people fresh. This cunning lawyer likes this situation very much.

However, Lin Yi did not divert his attention to this ballot dispute. He had nothing to do with himself and kept it high. This was his principle of doing things, and he had nothing to say to the guy who caused the dispute.The opponent, perhaps in his eyes, is just an opponent in the East. In his opinion, the "China Derby" that has long passed is like a farce. Only the confrontation with Yao can be called In the game, he learned a lot from that big guy, and he won that game because of luck rather than strength.

Lin Yi now spends more time in the fitness room, and he hugs the barbell more and more times every day. He doesn't want strength to become a scar that hinders his progress.He wants to make himself stronger as soon as possible. If he wants to protect his basket, first of all, you must be able to stand upright. Although the special training with Oakley in the summer helped him stand on the NBA court, he is far from those players. There is still a gap between the top centers, and the lack of strength is his biggest problem.

Now when many teams face the Heat, they will throw their strongest insiders in front of Lin Yi, making them keep making physical contact, sometimes even fouling.They are using their bodies to confront and constantly destroy Lin Yi's offensive rhythm. Although Lin Yi can choose to use his footsteps to pass them, but some offensive opportunities are lost in this entanglement, so he must not let himself be at a disadvantage in the confrontation , as long as he can withstand the opponent's physical advantage, then he will win any confrontation, and his flexible footwork under the basket is one of his sharpest weapons.

No one doesn't like hardworking players, but now Lin Yi's hard work makes Spoelstra and Pat Riley feel scared. They are really afraid that Lin Yi will cause fatigue damage due to over-training.However, they haven't seen the devilish training course that old Chuck gave Lin Yi back then, because Lin Yi's young body's recovery ability is extremely amazing, so old Chuck has long been used to adding weight to him.As long as Lin Yi's body is checked every day, he will be sure that there will be no problems. According to Old Chuck, this kid was born for sports, and his recovery speed is as fast as that of Altman. , I was so tired the first day that I was about to die, and when I woke up in the morning, he appeared in front of me full of energy. It would be a waste for such a guy not to let him train.

In a university dormitory in Oregon, a pretty girl is trying to open the polling website that is about to be overwhelmed and paralyzed.

"Anna, why is the internet in this hotel so poor! The website I want to open is still unavailable, come and help me download it." Taylor Swift's clear voice sounded in the luxurious private room. Anna was summoned by this soul-stirring voice and hurried over.

Many guys in China who have not slept all night also look at the webpages on the computer screen that cannot be opened for a long time, while cursing China Telecom and Netcom, and then refreshing the page over and over again, trying to make a miracle happen.

A new storm of idols is forming, but the person involved is still at a loss, and he is now looking at the new weight on the barbell and worrying about it.
