Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 127 The First Round of All-Star Voting Result Announced

For Vandeweghe's complaint, the league gave enough importance to form an investigation team on the same day.

And when the investigation team arrived and asked Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh about Lu Ming, they found out that Lu Ming and the Knicks team were having a party with the Nets team!

"Ridiculous! He must continue to threaten the players of the Nets! Party, is there a party in broad daylight? Mr. Donny Walsh, right now, right now, right now, I want to see him!" The leader of the investigation team is the extremely smart Adam Silva.

As the appointed next president, he could tell at a glance that there was something tricky about it!

Donnie Walsh was very helpless. He felt that Adam Silva was making too much of a fuss, and he seemed to come with great personal emotions.

I had no choice but to ask Lu Ming where the party was, and then led the investigation team over there.

When the investigation team arrived, they suddenly found out that this party was really a party, but it was too undeserved, and there was not even a woman!

Moreover, what is even more exaggerated is that the person who originally complained, the head coach and general manager of the Nets, Vandeweghe was present at the scene.

Adam Silva felt that they were acting for himself, so they separated the investigation one by one.

The result of the investigation, of course, is that the so-called accusation is actually nonsense.

"Impossible! There must be something that they have united to hide. It may even be the Chinese who continued to threaten them! If this is the case, then I will stare at you. I don't believe that you will not show your feet!"

Adam Silva left with the conditioning team, but he remembered Lu Ming again.

After the investigation team left, Lu Ming once again expressed his apology, especially to Vandeweghe, the general manager who currently has a 50% win rate as the head coach. "Mr. Coach, to be honest, I didn't expect that they would actually believe it. When I wanted to explain on the court, no one dared to listen."

Vandeweghe couldn't laugh or cry, but after calming down, he also knew that even if they played normally, the Nets would not be the opponent of the Knicks. He could only be relieved, and then humorously said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, otherwise, I don't even know that they guys are so united."

"Haha!" Lu Ming laughed.

Then, everyone laughed.

While the party in New York was enjoying itself, the news about Lu Ming winning a victory in an extremely threatening way and despicably scoring 49 points spread to other places.

In these reports, the truth of the true feelings was concealed very tacitly.

But in the age of the Internet, it is impossible for the media to cover everything, so because the thing is too absurd, most people just laughed "haha", but didn't discuss it any more.

Only some retired celebrities expressed that if they were threatened, then the rookie would definitely lie down and go out.

"After all, the current alliance is a bit too gentle." Someone sighed.

Then, the next day, the Knicks beat the Portland Trail Blazers in a mild manner at home.

Although Huang Mamba Brandon made sudden shots and scored 27 points, he still couldn't win the Knicks in double figures with 6 players in the away game.

In this game, Lu Ming reduced the number of shots and only scored 23 points, but had 11 assists and 6 rebounds, continuing to maintain a comprehensive statistic.

After playing the Trail Blazers back to back, the Knicks got 4 days of rest.

Until December 12th, he will be a guest in New Orleans and play the Hornets away.

On days when there is no game, Lu Ming will train with the team.

In the recent games, apart from the one against the Nets, Lu Ming efficiently scored 49 points in a very strange way. In other games, the scoring has been unstable.

Moreover, as people can see, his efficiency value has dropped.

This is inevitable. With the deepening of the season, most teams have already studied Lu Ming deeply. After all, he is the most popular rookie in the league, and he is also the absolute core of the Knicks.

So when the targeted defense appeared, Lu Ming's weakness of insufficient offensive methods was gradually exposed.

Fortunately, thanks to D'Antoni's tactical arrangement, Lu Ming, who has unlimited shooting rights and a lot of ball control, can use his most reliable mid-range shots to score or assist his teammates to score under the cover of tactics.

A reasonable way of playing allows him to avoid weaknesses.

The excellent overall view on the court allows him to pass the ball to the most confident teammates.

Coupled with the Knicks players who have tasted the taste of winning, they are obviously playing more actively, and this season's former parallel import No. [-] Darko Milicic, so the current record of the Knicks is still maintained. The top four positions in the Eastern Conference.

This is something that experts never thought of.

Regardless of what the experts think of the Knicks' performance at the beginning of this season, Lu Ming and his teammates were sweating profusely in the training hall.

Two days later, the results of the first round of voting for the All-Stars will be announced soon.

At twelve o'clock on December 12th, US time, and in the early hours of December 10th, BJ time, while domestic fans were anxiously waiting, the results of the first round of voting for the All-Stars were announced.

In the west, on the back line, the new FMVP, Kobe of the Lakers ranked first with 69 votes.And the second place with 28 votes is Rocket McGrady, who has not shown his strength in the new season due to injuries.Nash of the Suns ranked third with 27 votes.

On the front line, the Nuggets' Anthony ranked first with 58 votes, the Lakers' Gasol ranked second with 28 votes, and the No. 21 rookie Duncan of the Spurs ranked third with 27 votes.

Durant, who is fourth, only received 17 votes.

Only 1 more votes than the Rockets' Trevor Ariza.

For the center position, Stoudemire of the Suns received 44 votes, Bynum of the Lakers had 29 votes, and Nene, the third Nuggets, had only 9 votes.

It can be seen that the first place in each position has far more votes than the others, even more than the sum of the second and third places.

This is the power of the head.

It also truly reflects the player's popularity.

After all, before Adam Silva's new rules have been worked out, the current All-Star voting is still the voting rule of all fans.

Moreover, from the perspective of the league, the possibility of introducing new rules this season is almost zero.

After watching the West, look at the East.

As a result, it makes people's scalp numb, shouting that it is impossible and unfair!

As for the country, after seeing Lu Ming's votes for the first time, he almost burst his throat with excitement.

In the East, the No. 20 Knicks rookie who has just played 8 games, is the No. 73 guard in the West with [-] votes, and is also the top voter in the first round of the All-Star Game!

It's an exaggeration!

Among the other guards, No.2 is Wade of the Heat, with 65 votes, and No.3 is Carter of the Magic, with only 29 votes.

On the front line, LeBron James, known as the second person in the league, ranked fourth in the league despite 63 votes.

This is very du.

Kevin Garnett of the Celtics, second in the front line, won 53 votes for his iron-blooded style.

As for the center position, the Magic's Howard was the best, getting 63 votes, only a few thousand votes less than James.The second is O'Neal of the Cavaliers. Even though he is old and miserable, he still has 20 votes.Bargnani of the Raptors in third had only 6 votes.

These, except for Lu Ming's abnormality, are pretty normal.

But the rest of the Knicks are very abnormal!
The other two Knicks candidates for the All-Star list, David Lee, got 39 votes, which directly exploded Xiao Juju, who was supposed to be the third Dragon King Bosh!

And the other, Gallinari, who has been nervous since he was selected to the roster, only got 18 votes.

However, on the Eastern Front, it ranks fifth!
"Unfair! Too unfair! Why, a Knicks player who is barely 20+10 will have more votes than Chris Bosh who is 23+10! I think the league should reconsider how to restrict voting in some regions!"

The head coach of the Raptors, Jane Triano, yelled at the media that it was unfair and complained for his disciples.

Completely forgot, they almost occupy the entire fan market in Canada.

I don't think about it, why do I only count so many votes while occupying such a large independent market?How about Xiao Juju who was exposed by David Li, who was rewarded with Lu Ming's bonus?

However, Bosh, who was blasted, didn't say anything. He just watched the game schedule of the Raptors seriously, and found that the date of playing against the Knicks was at the end of January!
At that time, the All-Star substitute will be selected!

So he roared angrily, "Kang Mang!"

"I can't believe this is true! As a star figure in the league, James actually lost to a rookie in the first round of voting! This is a great shame to the image of the league! We need to do something!"

The owner of the Cavaliers, Daniel Gilbert, who is afraid that his emperor will turn around and leave next season, also spoke out through the media.

But they didn't see that even without Lu Ming, James' thigh for the first two championships in the future, Wade, the soul of the Heat, would have 2 more votes than the Little Emperor!

This is worth pondering.

Later, the second player in the league, the current king of Cleveland, faced the media, showing a maturity that did not match his skills, "Fans have the freedom to choose to vote for their fans' stars.

All I can do is to train hard, play well, follow the coach's arrangement, and work with my teammates to help the team win the game and contribute wonderful games to the fans and spectators.

As for the Knicks' rookie, his performance is worthy of the honor of the top voter. "

But to be honest, if you don't look at his six-step layup, and the embarrassing three-threat James who is so embarrassing that Chinese fans can buckle a Forbidden City, James, who is good at carrying people and staging the overlord, is still very enjoyable to play.

As for the Heat's general manager Pat Riley, when asked, he smiled and told the media, "I am very happy to see this result. Because in the East, someone finally threatens Wade's status."

Dayou, although we are on the south coast and Miami is hot, Wade has always been in a state of extreme coldness before.

Very Versailles.

No one can guess what Pat Riley, who is good at calculating, is calculating at this time.

As for Wade, he just smiled, puffed his cheeks, and went in and out of the training field seven times, while his teammates complained incessantly.

In the west, although Lu Ming's votes have little influence on them.

However, as the No.1 player in the league, Kobe was asked if he felt it was unfair to be snatched away by Lu Ming, and if he had anything to say to Lu Ming.

Kobe suddenly showed a scene of high EQ, "To be honest, in my expectation, Lu's votes should be higher than this. After all, you also know that behind him, there can be 13 billion family members supporting him!

Looking at it now, there are only 73 votes. I think even without those Chinese fans, his current performance is enough to be worthy of the title of vote king.

After all, Lu is a super rookie. "

"However, the outside world is saying that you have 60 billion fans!"

"I can't help it. After all, we are still old and fading." Kobe was still a little sour after all.

Others who were not interviewed expressed their opinions through platforms such as Twitter.

The fans also contributed a lot of traffic to Twitter.

One of the accounts, which seems to be a Durant fan, did not attack Lu Ming, but instead expressed a strong opinion on the Rockets' Trevor Ariza, "My God! Durant averaged nearly 30 points per game, but is he actually ranked fourth? And, look, the Rockets' slap is only [-] votes less than him!

Is it because he is Yao's teammate?
hehe!The league has really changed. All cats and dogs can enter the All-Stars! "

Ariza: I am such a little transparent, can I be singled out?
After the teams had finished expressing their opinions, the experts were also asked what they thought Lu Ming had such a high number of votes.

ESPN host Jorge Andres said sharply in the show, "This is crazy! They voted for that Knicks rookie, like a group of penguins who only know how to run with the first one, without any mental activity at all!

And the performance of that rookie is nothing more than Asian junk food. It looks glamorous, but it is actually completely inedible! "

However, the host's remarks were subsequently criticized by angry fans who landed on ESPN's message board.

One fan wrote, "I can't believe this is what a presenter said. I'm surprised and ashamed to hear such a thing! Mr. Andres, do you think this is humor? It's so low-level."

Then, 20 minutes after the show aired, Andres chose to apologize amidst the massive criticism, "I'm sorry, I said something that shouldn't have been said when I commented on Lu. It was my inappropriate words. I sincerely apologize for this. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

As for whether I sincerely apologize, huh, huh.

But the fans felt triumphant.

Another ESPN commentator, Van Gundy Jr. who coached Yao Ming in the Rockets, in an interview, only expressed his opinion on whether Lu Ming could finally enter the All-Star starting lineup.

He said, "Yao didn't play as well as Lu in his rookie season, and he was able to enter the All-Star starting lineup, and he was replaced by O'Neal who was in the sky at that time. So, now Lu, with such excellent statistics and performance, why can't he occupy a starting position?"

His opinion also represents the opinion of some people.

Yes, they agree that Lu Ming has a chance to occupy an All-Star starting spot. After all, in the guard line, apart from Wade, the No.3 Carter in the East has lost popularity and performance.

However, the words of the ticket king are a bit difficult for them to accept.

After all, the current No.1 in the league is Kobe, and the second person is the little emperor James who can even tie Kobe without a championship.

Even Howard of the Magic, the No. [-] center after O'Neal, is still very popular.

So these three people, no matter which one gets the top vote, it seems that they can make people feel better.

But Lu Ming, to be honest, they were unwilling to accept this fact from the bottom of their hearts.

Then, the league's No. 73 Lu Chuan, Barkley said, "If you have watched Lu's game, you will find that [-] votes are actually not enough for a rookie who has performed at a historical level.

If, plus his identity as a Chinese.

I think the league should persuade Chinese fans to consider other stars when voting for the purpose of protecting him. "

Barkley really deserves to be Lu Chui as always, with a big mouth as always.

At the league headquarters, David Stern gritted his teeth when he heard Barkley's words.

You are a dead fat pig who is so fat that you can't fly, who is controlling the number of votes?
But, damn you, you are really talented.

I know that I deliberately reduced some of Lu's votes, as well as the votes of his two teammates, otherwise, the All-Star voting would be the finale!
This year's All-Star finale did not happen.

But in the second day's game, Lu Ming's NBA career almost came to an end.
