Chapter 132 All-Star Prelude

After playing with Butler, Ye Heping's mood improved a lot.

Start browsing for some news from this year's All-Star Game.

The list of all competitions has been released.

Rookie Challenge.

First-year team:
Dwight Howard (Magic), J.R. Smith (Hornets), Emeka Okafor (Bobcats), Ye Heping (Lakers), Ben Gordon (Bulls), Luol Deng (Bulls), Iguodala (76ers), Al Jefferson (Celtics), Devin Harris (Mavericks).

But Okafor was unable to play because of injury, and finally the Celtics' Tony Allen stepped up.

second grade:
Wade (Heat), Haslem (Heat), James (Cavaliers), Korver (76ers), Anthony (Nuggets), Bosh (Raptors), Hinrich (Bulls), Howard (Mavericks), Ridnour (Sonics).

Shooting Stars.

The four teams are from:

Nuggets: Andre Miller as captain.

Pistons: Ronald Dupree as captain.

Lakers: Luke Walton as captain.

Suns: Sean Marion as captain.

The Lakers are still very luxurious, Walton invited "Magic" Johnson, and WNBA Los Angeles Sparks superstar Lisa Leslie.

Of course, the list that attracted the most attention was the All-Star race.

west:

Head Coach: Gregg Popovich (Spurs).

Starting lineup: Yao Ming (Rockets), Garnett (Timberwolves), Ye Heping (Lakers), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), McGrady (Rockets).

Subs: Ray Allen (Sonics), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Nash (Suns), Duncan (Spurs), Marion (Suns), Ginobili (Spurs), Stoudemire (Suns).

Rashad Lewis was pushed down by Ye Heping.

East: Van Gundy (Heat)

Starters: O'Neal (Heat), Hill (Magic), Carter (Nets), James (Cavaliers), Iverson (76ers).

Subs: O'Neal (Pacers), Wade (Heat), Big Z (Cavaliers), Pierce (Celtics), Ben (Pistons), Arenas (Wizards), Jamison (Wizards).

It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming surpassed O'Neal by 7 votes and became this year's vote leader.

Followed by O'Neill, Garnett, and Ye Heping. This is the only four people with more than 200 million votes.

The Nuggets are rather embarrassing. As this year's host, no one was selected for the All-Star Game.

"Little Melon" Anthony's pace is obviously slower than that of James and Wade in the same class.

The Pepsi Center in Denver always seemed a bit boring.

But what sparked the most heated discussions was the mysterious power from the East.

Yao Ming, whose data is less than 20+10, became the king of votes.

叶和平场均10.8分6.5篮板2.6助攻1.7 抢断3.2盖帽，成了No.4。

The most exaggerated thing is that even the votes of their teammates are soaring.

Although Tracy McGrady and Kobe were originally popular superstars, their votes soared this year, and they all approached 200 million.

"Duncan turned out to be an All-Star substitute, this is too exaggerated!"

"Duncan, Nowitzki, Marion are all substituting for a nobody."

"Call for the closure of the All-Star Voting Channel in China."

……

The fans talked a lot, and some stars even stood up to speak.

Paul Pierce said in an interview: The All-Star is the glory of the player and an affirmation of the player's strength.And now, I think it (the All-Stars) has lost its meaning.It's not fair to a lot of quality players.

Of course, there are also a small number of fans who speak for Ye Heping, most of whom are Chinese fans.

"Pierce, are you jealous? Every year as an All-Star substitute, you will never have a chance to start. You deserve it!"

"Big mouth, you deserved to be stabbed 11 times in a bar. Your big mouth will kill you sooner or later!" said Jimmy Butler from Crossroads High School.

"The youngest triple-double record holder in history, more than 300 days ahead of the second-ranked James, two quasi-quadruple-doubles, top three in blocked shots this season, top ten in field goal percentage in the league, the core of the Lakers' defense, why can't they enter the All-Stars?"

"That's right, the All-Stars are never ranked according to the strength of the players, but according to the popularity of the players. You all say that Ye Heping relies on Chinese fans to make his position, and Chinese fans are inferior to American fans? Do you know that the sales volume of Ye Heping's jerseys in Los Angeles is second only to Kobe Bryant and far exceeds that of Odom."

"If the Chinese channel is closed, I will never watch NB in ​​the future... Well, I still have to watch it, but I will not sell peripherals of other NBA players. Chinese fans stay. Compatriots, keep up."

"Chinese fans, ditto!"

"Chinese fans, keep up!"

"Chinese fans, join the team!"

"Chinese Americans, join the team!"

"Chinese Canadians, join the team!"

……

In real history, Yao Ming's election as the top voter once caused fans to discuss closing the voting channels in China.

But now, because of Ye Heping's existence, this discussion has come earlier and more intensely.

Stern, who originally had this idea, had to be cautious when he saw the reaction of the fans.

Later, Yao Ming also spoke to the media.

"Thank you to the fans who voted for me. Whether it's Chinese fans or other fans, I love you all. As for Chinese tickets and other tickets, I just want to say why Chinese tickets are worthless? I am very angry at some fans' unreasonable demands. Not getting votes from Chinese fans can only show that you are not good enough. There are many Chinese fans who like O'Neal, Kobe, and Garnett. Why don't you like you?"

Yao Ming responded domineeringly.

Many people have the impression that Yao Ming has a good temper and is very gentle. He is often bullied on the court, and even honest people are bullied by referees.

This is absolutely wrong, at least not quite right.

When encountering problems of principle, Yao Ming has always been tough.

For example, in the Nike contract incident, Nike did not respect Yao Ming at first, but later realized that they wanted to offer a high price to please, but Yao Ming directly rejected it.

In addition to Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian is also just like that time, just like the time he yelled at Garnett: "How can you play basketball if you don't move much?"
