NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 134: The Battle of Voting

As Carter expected, after the Raptors lost to the Knicks, his support from the fan base began to decline.

And the Chinese center started to advance rapidly!

The gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller, which makes Carter even want to end the All-Star voting as soon as possible.

But there is still about a month before the end of the formal voting. In the remaining month or so, standing firm is the way for the king of votes to survive.

Carter can only turn his grief and anger into strength and try his best to lead the Raptors, the tenth in the East, to win more games to show his strength.

In addition to the game, Carter is not idle either.

He used his own agency team and personal connections to canvass for him and fight to keep the title of the All-Star vote leader.

“Vince Carter interview: Please support me in the All-Star vote, I will guarantee with my personality that I will play the most dazzling performance in the All-Star game!” – Toronto Star

There is no way, the team’s strength is not enough and can only be made up by fame.

Not only did Carter accept an interview with the Toronto media, he also mobilized his personal connections to find a group of friends to publish for him and speak out in post-game interviews.

“Carter is the most active star I have ever seen. He was my idol before entering the NBA. There is no doubt that he did not perform well in any of the All-Star games he entered. I still remember the dunk contest in 2000.” – Raptors teammate Chris Bosh

Although he did not have the opportunity to compete for the All-Star game in his rookie season, Bosh still sincerely expressed his support for his teammates in front of the camera after the game, but whether the fans in his hometown of Dallas would pay for Carter is another matter.

“Among the Eastern Conference forwards, I can’t think of a player more suitable to start than Vince. That guy is a model of violent aesthetics in the All-Star Game. Please believe him. Of course, if you want to see the cousins ​​connect, please don’t forget to support me!” – Tracy McGrady, who just scored 30 points

Although the Magic’s record this season can’t be any worse, this is the era of the four major shooting guards. McGrady’s picturesque style of play has made him have considerable fans across the United States. This is why he can rank second among Eastern Conference backcourt players even at the end of the second stage.

There are many such voices of support. After all, Carter has accumulated some connections after struggling in the NBA for so many years.

In addition to Carter, many All-Star players have followed suit and called on friends to speak for themselves.

And there are also cases of mutual rankings. The starting lists of the East and West do not conflict, so the stars on both sides don’t mind helping their friends to pull fans from both places.

“AI is a man who once shook God. He has the fastest first step in the league. It is a pleasure to watch him play against a big man. If you want to see that guy in the main game, please support him with all your strength!” – Los Angeles Daily interview with Kobe

Kobe always has special feelings for this talented guard who plays for Philadelphia.

As for canvassing for himself? With the help of the Lakers, he has already led the Western Conference guards in a discontinuous manner, and he doesn’t need to say more.

“If you want to see me and Kobe compete in the main game, please vote for me and Kobe!” – Facing the camera, AI’s words are very brief, just like when he came to China in the future.

···

“LeBron is the best rookie in the East. As I said, if you want to see the son of Akron in the All-Star Game, please don’t be stingy with your votes!” – Dwyane Wade, who just secured his starting position in the Heat

“If LeBron and I were to run for the forward position, he might be blocked by me, but he is in the East now and is participating in the backcourt battle. I don’t think that’s a problem for him.” – Carmelo Anthony, who is ranked third in the Western Conference forwards in real time (only the top two are starting)

The friendship between rookies is precious, but it is still insignificant compared to the speeches of those big names.

In addition to the role of canvassing votes, these voices also have a player vote, which also accounts for 25% of the All-Star vote.

There is no doubt that players with good popularity in the NBA will have a certain advantage in this item.

The recent first and second-year rookies will appear weak in this kind of confrontation, while veteran players have a good social circle.

Compared to Wang Song, Da Ben finally regained some advantages in this aspect.

Although Da Ben usually has a bad temper

Hot, but that is only limited to the Detroit locker room. In the outside world, this undrafted player who turned into DPOY has a good reputation. Strong defense, taciturn, and focused on playing… These are the characteristics that the Pistons’ opponents can see from Big Ben.

But this good news about Big Ben did not last long. A piece of news from the Knicks directly detonated the entire league.

“Wang can be said to be the most comfortable inside teammate I have ever been with. With him, you can always entrust the basket behind you to him with peace of mind. In real life, I have never met a more amiable person than this Chinese big man. He is just like his ball, very stable, and not like a 19-year-old boy at all.” – Steve Nash, who accepted an exclusive interview with the Knicks Daily

Nash’s remarks quickly swept the league. This white guard has always had a good reputation in the league. Except for defense, it is almost difficult to find a flaw in this guard who has only played for the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns.

After Nash finished speaking, several teammates stood up and made similar remarks.

This made NBA players who were not familiar with this Chinese big man have a better impression of this Chinese center.

However, Nash’s speech not only hurt Ben, who was originally sure to win, but also dealt a heavy blow to the old driver of Dallas.

Nowitzki: I loved it!

What is a bit surprising is that Nash originally intended to support his teammates this time, but he actually added fuel to the flames and got unprecedented attention himself.

After the second stage of the voting, Steve Nash’s votes actually surpassed Jason Kidd and ranked third among the Eastern Conference backcourt players.

Only one place away from entering the starting position!

In front of him is Magic McGrady.

One team ranks first in the Eastern Conference, and the other is the last in the Eastern Conference. This strong contrast makes fans laugh and cry.

Many fans began to re-examine their votes. This year’s All-Star voting was too dazzling, and they didn’t want to miss the performance of every star player.

The Knicks officials also came out to vote for the two starters. In addition to issuing official media announcements, Scott Layden spent a huge amount of money to show off his muscles and built a stage in New York and other places to canvass votes for the two core players.
