After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

Chapter 176 All-Star Voting Controversy

The Mavericks lost two games in a row against the two strongest teams in the Western Conference, and they didn't have much ability to fight back. This allowed James fans who had been holding their breath for the past few days to finally find a breakthrough.

After the Mavericks defeated the Heat, Su Jiuyun responded to LeBron James's words before the game that he did not understand Su Jiuyun at the post-game press conference.

This not only made James furious, but also made his fans even more angry. In their eyes, James is perfect. Anyone who dares to say that James is not good at all must be attacked in groups.

But this time they couldn't fight back against Su Jiuyun because the Big 3 lost to the defeated Mavericks and allowed a rookie to perform so well against them.

More importantly, there were many scenes of them double-teaming Su Jiuyun, so they didn't have much strength to fight back. After all, Su Jiuyun was just a rookie.

Now it's better. The Mavericks lost two consecutive games and Su Jiuyun has no body protection.

A large number of people rushed directly to Su Jiuyun's Twitter to ridicule him. Although Su Jiuyun's fans are far inferior to James's, they can still fight back.

It's just that, as Su Jiuyun is the person involved, he is not in the mood to deal with this at all now. Two consecutive losses have made him feel very unhappy.

During the two consecutive losses, because his opponents had top-level frame protection height and ability, Su Jiuyun's efficiency plummeted, and his statistics also dropped a lot. He averaged only 16+6+6 per game, compared with his 22+8 so far this season. The data of +7 is quite different.

Moreover, the Mavericks, who have 16 wins and 12 losses, have also dropped to seventh place in the Western Conference. Behind them, the Rockets, Jazz and Mavericks are only one win away from each other. If they are not careful, they may fall to ninth in the Western Conference.

The game against the Spurs ended on the 23rd, and the Mavericks rushed to Oklahoma on the 24th. They will challenge the Thunder on the 27th. They have 4 days for the Mavericks to adjust.

At this time, the results of the first round of the 2013 All-Star voting came out.

James received the most votes in the East, and the Knicks have an excellent record this season, with Carmelo Anthony ranking second and Wade ranking third.

In the forward rankings, James, Anthony, and Garnett rank in the top three, and defenders Wade and Rondo rank in the top two.

This voting result did not surprise the fans. After all, the stars in the Eastern Conference are dim, and no one can challenge these people for the All-Star starting position.

The ranking of the Western Conference is still a little surprising.

Kobe surpassed James by less than 1 votes and won the first-round vote, while Durant only received 3 fewer votes than him and ranked second.

The third-ranked vote-getter was actually not Paul or Howard, but Su Jiuyun of the Mavericks, and he had nearly 4 more votes than Paul, who ranked fourth.

In terms of forward rankings, Durant, Howard, and Griffin ranked in the top three, and their votes far exceeded those of Duncan, Pau Gasol, Kevin Love, and others behind them.

At the guard position, Kobe Bryant and Su Jiuyun ranked in the top two, but Su Jiuyun only received 4 votes more than Paul, who was third. With two rounds of voting left, anything is possible.

As for Super Kobe, don’t think about it.

The votes of Harden, ranked 4th, and Westbrook, ranked 5th, can be said to be disconnected from the top three, so basically among the Western Conference All-Star starters, only Su Jiuyun and Paul are still competing for a starting position.

Su Jiuyun smiled when he saw the list. Jeremy Lin, who ranked third among guards in the original time and space in votes, did not make it into the top six in this time and space because of his own career.

You must know that in the original time and space, he only received 3 fewer votes than Paul in the entire three rounds, and he was almost voted into the All-Star.

As for why Su Jiuyun got more votes than Paul, and so many more than Harden and Westbrook?

Many people have doubts, but ESPN made a column specifically analyzing this point.

It’s very simple, 4 o’clock:

1、苏九云一个41号秀,却打出了22+8+7的数据,还把原本外界认为垫底的小牛队带到季后赛行列中。

2. The little guy’s counterattack is popular everywhere.

3. His playing style is explosive and more enjoyable to watch than Paul.

4. There are many Chinese students studying in the United States.

In Los Angeles, in a mansion, when Paul looked at the All-Star votes, he felt bad. He lost to Kobe in votes. He had no temper at all, but he actually lost to a rookie.

You must know that he is the number one point guard in the league. He has been in the All-Stars for 4 consecutive years and has been a starter for 3 consecutive years. If he is just a substitute this year, wouldn't he, the number one point guard in the league, be slapped in the face? Do you still want to lose face?

Especially when he lost to a rookie who had not even played a game yet and laughed at the fact that he would never win a championship with the Clippers. This was even more like a slap in the face and a backhand slap.

He tweeted directly:

"Some rankings do not equal strength!"

As soon as this tweet came out, everyone knew that he was connoting Su Jiuyun. Some people ridiculed him for not being generous enough, while others agreed with his views. Coupled with the fate of James' fans, Su Jiuyun's fans were unable to resist.

These things were also trending in the US. Everyone thought that things were already lively enough, but no, things were far from over.

For almost a month before, Westbrook didn't even know what losing was. He and his eldest brother Durant led the defending runner-up to a 1-game winning streak, showing that although there were three younger brothers missing, the finals The Thunder team has undergone a transformation after a trip.

During this 12-game winning streak, the Thunder basically won big games. Not only did they defeat the Bobcats 114:69, but they also defeated the Spurs 107:93, maintaining the first place in the league in record.

But in the last two games, the Thunder have lost two consecutive games. Not only did they lose to the Timberwolves, but they also lost to their old rivals, the Heat, in the last game.

Moreover, he made 19 of 5 shots in the game and only scored 21 points, 3 assists and 11 rebounds. This has already caused him to be criticized by some extreme fans, saying that he was not good at high-end games and could not fight tough battles, which was the same as last season. Same as the finals.

But when the All-Star votes came out today, he was even more annoyed.

He felt that he could be forgiven for not getting as many votes as Kobe and Paul. After all, the two of them had been in the league for many years before him, and their accumulated popularity was beyond his comparison.

Originally, he thought that based on his and the team's performance, it was certain that he would be ranked third in the number of votes.

However, as soon as the voting data was announced, Westbrook became furious.

Why? Why is that rookie ranked above me, and why is my third brother ranked above me? The records of both teams are far inferior to the Thunder, and my own data is not any worse than theirs.
