Chapter 82 All-Star Voting

Come back for the second half.

Fans continue to look forward to the collision between Anthony and Li Lei.

However, the feeling of both of them has declined to varying degrees.

And neither team will allow their opponents to score so easily.

Anthony and Li Lei feel good, so they naturally become the focus of the opponent's defense, and it is difficult to get a chance to make a move.

The Heat relied on the excellent state of Odom and Jones to widen the point difference a little bit.

At the end of the three quarters 78:69, the Heat led by 9 points.

In the critical fourth quarter, Anthony scored 7 points in a row, once narrowing the point difference to 2 points.

At the critical moment, Li Lei scored a three-pointer with a cold arrow, piercing his heart with one arrow, which directly extinguished the last hope of the Nuggets.

In the end, 97:93, the Heat narrowly beat the Nuggets.

The overall record came to 27 wins and 14 losses.

At the end of the game, the Heat played exactly half of the game.

In this game, Anthony had 25 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

李磊20分4篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽。

The two were evenly matched, and they were evenly matched.

1 month 20 day.

The Heat narrowly beat the Celtics 88:86.

But Li Lei was blown away by Paul Pierce.

Pierce was a god, scoring 29 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

The Heat have a record of 28 wins and 14 losses.

1 month 21 day.

New Year's Eve.

The Heat happened to be without a game.

Li's father and Li's mother came to Miami to reunite with Li Lei.

They also specially prepared some small gifts: Chinese knots and the like for Li Lei's teammates.

Haslem, who lives with Li Lei, is also a feast for the eyes. He ate dumplings and glutinous rice balls for the first time, and he couldn't stop eating them.

On the 23rd and 24th, the Heat beat the Nets and the Knicks one after another.

The overall record came to 30 wins and 14 losses.

In these two games, the Heat ended the battle in three quarters and entered garbage time.

Wang Zhizhi got a lot of playing time in the fourth quarter.

His defensive problems are still serious, but the improvement is also visible to the naked eye.

Coach Da Fan kept nodding his head.

He knew about Wang Zhizhi's additional training, and it was precisely because Wang Zhizhi worked hard enough that Coach Da Fan was willing to give him another chance.

……

1 month 26 day.

The Houston team came to Miami to challenge the Heat away.

Li Lei invited Yao Ming to dinner.

Yao Ming's mood is very complicated.

The last time the two teams played against each other, the Heat had 0 wins and 6 losses, and the Mosaic had 4 wins and 1 loss.

Now, the Heat are 30 wins and 14 losses, and Mosaic is 18 wins and 25 losses.

The Heat's performance has skyrocketed in recent times.

Even if Wade is absent for a long time, the Heat don't seem to be affected too much.

On the other hand, the Mosaic team... is really hard to describe.

Yao Ming was tired.

Rumors are flying all over the sky, the team boss is dissatisfied with the management, the team coaching staff is dissatisfied with the management, and there are also problems among the management.

There have also been rumors recently that boss Alexander is also dissatisfied with the management.

The record at the beginning of the season was good, and these problems were covered up.

Now the results of the Mosaic team are in a mess, and all the problems erupt in an instant.

Yao Ming had an illusion: the Mosaic team might be disbanded tomorrow.

This game was also broadcast on CCTV.

Fans are looking forward to watching a Chinese derby.

But from the first minute of the start, the Heat had the upper hand and maintained it until the end of the game.

Yao Ming's condition is not good.

It's not because of the team's problems, but the Mosaic team just played a game yesterday, and they played back-to-back against the Heat.

Playing Magic yesterday, Yao Ming scored 37 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks, but today he is a bit sluggish.

Ever since he entered the league, Yao Ming has had a characteristic. He exploded in the last game, and must slump in the next game, not to mention back-to-back.

The reason is mostly because of physical fitness.

这场比赛，姚明只打了28分钟，9投5中，罚球2中2，拿了12分6篮板1助攻。

李磊砍下20分5篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Because he entered garbage time early, Wang Zhizhi also got 10 minutes of playing time.

Big Zhi scored 7 points and 1 assist, and his scoring efficiency is still amazing.

This has made Chinese fans make up for a lot of regrets: Big Zhi has been getting better and better recently.

In the end, the Heat beat the Mosaic team 102:81.

The Heat's overall record came to 31 wins and 14 losses.

At the end of the game, the Heat ushered in good news: Wade has recovered from his injury and can pay in advance.

His absence was cut from four weeks to three.

From January 1th to January 5th, the Heat played 1 games without Wade, with a record of 26 wins and 12 losses. It seems that they were not affected by Wade's absence at all.

The Heat are still ranked second in the East, second only to the Pacers with 33 wins and 13 losses.

而在这12场比赛里，李磊发挥出色，7次20+，1次30+，场均19.5分3.6篮板3.8助攻2.5抢断1.7盖帽，是热火队的头号得分手。

Therefore, Li Lei got a lot of All-Star votes.

In China, many fans voted for Li Lei.

Li Lei's original score was only 13+. Even if he is Chinese, many Chinese fans are embarrassed to vote for Li Lei.

If a small forward with 13+ points is allowed to enter the All-Star, it is indeed a bit shabby.

But now, Li Lei has played so well and has become the fourth youngest player in NBA history to score 30+ points. Chinese fans also have confidence.

Cast, no problem.

By the way, Odom's votes are skyrocketing.

他本赛季至今场均17.1分9.7篮板4.5助攻1.2抢断1.0盖帽，非常全能，处于全明星边缘。

The old Jones has dropped a lot, averaging only 17+3+3+1 per game, and the All-Stars are out of the game.

Wade is a tragedy. He has too many injuries and plays less. Even if the data is not bad, he doesn't get many votes.

As of the end of the second round of voting, among the Eastern forwards, Carter was far ahead and ranked first.

O'Neal's second position is also unshakable.

The third is Kenyon Martin with more than 40 votes.

The fourth is Artest with 35+.

The fifth is Pippen with 30+.

Li Lei and Odom ranked sixth and seventh respectively.

The forward position in the Eastern Conference should be the least competitive among the entire All-Stars, and Li Lei and Odom also took advantage.

The Eastern Conference defenders are: Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Kidd, James, "Bearded" Baron Davis, Marbury, Pierce, Reggie Miller, Billups, Hamilton.

It is worth mentioning that James and Pierce voted as defenders this year.

Among the Eastern Conference centers, Daben ranks first, and Mourning, who is second, has played 12 games in a season. There is no threat to Daben, but he can still rank second.

The third and fourth are Jamal Magloire and Eddie Curry respectively.

There is no center in the East.

in the west.

For the center position, Yao Ming and O'Neal are competing for the first place.

The next three, four, and five are Brad Miller, Divac, and Rasunestlovic.

Western forwards, the competition is cruel.

The order of votes from most to least is: Garnett, Duncan, Anthony, Nowitzki, Malone, Peja, Webber, Gasol, Anthony Walker... In fact, anyone is eligible to be selected as an All-Star.

The western defenders are in order: Kobe, Francis, Payton, Nash, Ginobili, Mike Bibby, Parker, Ray Allen, Michael Finley, Mobley...

From the All-Star voting, you can clearly see that the league is strong in the west and weak in the east.

The defenders on both sides are about the same.

But at the center and forward positions, the West crushes the East.

Similarly, you can see that this is a flourishing age of guards and forwards, while centers are dying.

1 month 28 day.

The Heat are in Cleveland again.

This time, James did not invite Li Lei to dinner.

Therefore, Li Lei planned to give James a good meal.

Rice, how can you not eat?
