I really play basketball

Chapter 279 Record Night
The league also officially announced the voting results for this season's All-Star Weekend, and the final vote winner, no surprise...cough!

There was still an accident, this year's All-Star ticket champion was no longer Lin Xing.

"Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan was elected as the 102.8 All-Star Weekend main game vote leader with 1998 million votes!"

When the result came out, everyone was surprised.

Not to mention the group of media reporters, let alone Lin Xing, even Danzi himself felt strange.

Lin Xing has been the top voter since his rookie season.

Counting with his fingers, he has already won the ticket for four times in a row.

Even in the season when Danzi came back, Lin Xing was the top voter.

It can be said that in terms of popularity alone, Dan Zi, who retired and came back, can't keep up with Lin Xing.

Especially after the Warriors won two consecutive championships in the past two seasons, Danzi is no match for Lin Xing in the popularity competition.

But in this year's All-Star voting, Danzi actually defeated Lin Xing and was elected the top voter.

This has to say: strange!

Here in the Bay Area, Lin Xing found it even more strange——

"In the past two years, the All-Star vote king has received two to three million votes. Why is it just over one million votes this year?"

Needless to say, his question is basically close to the fact of this election.

Warriors press officer Peter Russo is responsible for distributing and collecting All-Star ballots for the Warriors at home.

Therefore, he knew: "It is said that the vote counting of the alliance this year is very strict, and many ballots with missing information have been excluded."

Lin Xing understood as soon as he heard it: "This is a secret operation of the alliance..."

Lin Xing couldn't help feeling emotional, logically speaking, he should still be the top voter this year.

In this way, he will be the five consecutive vote kings.

Five consecutive vote champions is not an honor worth mentioning, because Danzi once had a history of seven consecutive vote champions.

But it is precisely because Danzi has seven consecutive votes in front that the alliance has a reason to make a move.

"The old man is in a hurry, he wants to leave something for Dan Zi."

They have won two consecutive championships in the last two seasons, and this season is also dominated by Lin Xing and his Warriors.

It can be said that Lin Xing's momentum is very fierce now.

If Lin Xing really won the three consecutive championships, it would be too exaggerated to say that the three championships would surpass Jordan.

In these three seasons, Lin Xing not only has three championships and three FMVPs, but he also has a high probability of having three regular season MVPs, a scoring champion, and a Dpoy...

But Danzi also has these honors, and even more.

Compared with Danzi, Lin Xing has the advantage of——

Team-level records such as 72 wins in the regular season, 15-1 in the playoffs, and various youngest records.

Ke Danzi also has many more scoring champions than Lin Xing, a record of 7 consecutive vote champions, and records at the personal data level such as scoring in a single game in the playoffs and scoring in the finals.

Even if Lin Xing really wins three consecutive championships, Danzi can continue to overwhelm Lin Xing with a longer career and more accumulation.

But the problem is, Lin Xing is too young.

He was born on September 1975, 9, and he is still under 11 years old.

A player who has completed three consecutive championships at the age of 22, given him a few more years, isn't that a proper super-Jordan?

David Stern didn't want to see Lin Xing's super Jordan so early, so he started to operate in secret.

Stopping Lin Xing from winning five consecutive votes is tantamount to preventing Lin Xing from breaking Danzi's record of winning seven consecutive votes.

After all, in the current league, Stern hasn't found the next player who can compete with Lin Xing.

As long as Danzi keeps the record of the seven consecutive vote kings, and Lin Xing can't touch the personal data record at this stage.

Even if Lin Xing's accumulative honors are not much different from Danzi's in the future, the two will be tied at most.

"It's a pity, Danzi is getting old..."

Lin Xing knew, and Stern also knew, that the alliance's move would at most delay a little time.

But what if?What if the NBA produces another supernova like Lin Xing in the next few years?
Or, Mesozoic plum blossoms like Danzi, which exude floral fragrance after experiencing various setbacks and bitter cold, are not impossible.

The ticket king is gone, but the starter is still there.

Not only is it still there, this year's All-Stars, the Warriors directly accounted for two starting spots.

The starting lineup of the West team is Lin Xing at the point guard and Kobe at the shooting guard.

There are other explanations for the strange thing that the ticket king is left behind, namely——

Kobe took away some votes from Lin Xing.

But this explanation is untenable at all, because in the All-Star voting this year, fans at the guard position can vote twice.

That is to say, point guards and shooting guards are counted separately. There is no such thing as Kobe grabbing Lin Xing's votes.

The weakness of the guard line in the 90s also created a situation in which the votes for the guard line were very high and low in the past two years.

After Lin Xing switched to playing guard, he was able to win the banker's ticket. I have to admit that there are also reasons for this.

Kobe's ability to become a starter can also be said to have benefited from this.

The Warriors took over the starting guards, and the starting forwards are Karl Malone, who has been fierce in the past two years, plus Scottie Pippen, who is still popular after Li Danzi.

As for the center forward, although the big dream is gone, the Sharks are backed by Los Angeles, defeated Mourning and the general without any suspense, and became the starter.

On the eastern side, the ticket king Jordan naturally occupies a starting position, and his backcourt partner is Tim Hardaway.

Xiao Chong's ability to make the starting lineup was due to the weakness of the back line on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was related to the Heat's outstanding record.

This season, the East is dominated by the Bulls.

After the Bulls are the Pacers and Heat.

Overall, there are only three competitive teams in the Eastern Conference.

At the forward position, although Grant Hill is in a downturn, he still occupies a starting position by virtue of his popularity.

Another position was taken by Kemp, who joined the Bulls from the East Tour.

As for the center forward, both Mourning and the Sharks have traveled westward, and it should have been a situation dominated by the Ewing family.

But in the end, it was Mutombo who completed the comeback.

"I can't help it, who makes the eagle's grades better!"

On the one hand, the Eagles' better performance is the reason. On the other hand, the Knicks have caused too many troubles in the past two years, making the league unhappy, which is also one of the reasons.

All in all, in this season's All-Star voting, there are deep traces of league manipulation.

Lin Xing didn't care either, he was the king of votes, and if he lost it, he lost it.

He doesn't even care if he loses the starting line-up. In the season of three consecutive championships, all he can think about is--

During the All-Star Weekend, just hang out if you can.

He has all kinds of slam dunk kings and All-Star MVPs.

The most important thing now is definitely the three consecutive regular season MVPs, as well as the three consecutive championships and the three consecutive FMVPs...

……

As soon as the results of the All-Star voting were announced, for the admiral, he had another reason to destroy the Warriors.

In the 96 All-Star Weekend, the old Nelson who led the Western Conference No. [-] team was the head coach of the Western Conference.

In the second year, that is, in 97, the Warriors were number one again, but because the head coach of the main game could not be re-elected, the old Nelson stopped for a year.

So far this season, the Warriors are No. [-] in the Western Conference, and the old Nelson does not have the problem of re-election.

The head coach of this year's All-Star Weekend is Old Nelson again.

The head coach of the All-Star game has the right to choose a substitute for the game. It can be said that whoever Nelson chooses will enter the game.

In the 96 All-Star Game, the old Nelson chose Madman, which was also the only All-Star trip so far in Madman's career.

This year's All-Star, Mourning's statistics are up to the standards of the All-Star, and the old Nelson has no reason not to choose Mourning.

But the problem is that the competition for the center position of the All-Star West team is too fierce.

The starting Sharks have already been determined, and the substitutes include Admiral, Mourning and Dameng.

Even Sabonis of the Blazers has a chance to be selected. After all, the Blazers are in the playoffs, and Sabonis is the star of the Blazers, so there is no reason to ignore him.

There are four people competing for a maximum of two, but there is a high probability that it will be one substitute position. The general feels that his chances are very slim.

There are no All-Star starters, which is too normal. The best team and the best defensive team in the regular season can only be ranked in the second and third teams, which is also acceptable.

But losing the All-Star selection is very unacceptable.

He counted with his fingers. Since the 89-90 season, which was his rookie season, the general has been selected as an All-Star for 7 consecutive seasons.

He was not selected last season because he was injured.

If he loses this season, it will be the first time in his career that he has truly lost.

"No, I'm going to use the public opinion to force that old fellow Donny Nelson to choose me!"

The prerequisite for using public opinion is that he has to beat Mourning in this game.

In the regular season, the general is still very tough.

He made up his mind, and after landing in Oakland with the team, his walking posture became vigorous.

……

Soon, the time came to the evening.

Lin Xing arrived at the arena early. He parked his car in the underground parking lot, and then walked through the long tunnel for players, preparing to enter the arena.

Along the way, reporters crowded the room.

Chasing Lin Xing and asking all kinds of questions in a hurry, Lin Xing felt that he was not coming to the home of the Warriors, but a vegetable market.

The game is about to start, and he doesn't want to waste too much energy on these reporters.

Under the protection of the stadium security, he walked all the way without turning his head.

The world fell silent as the door was pushed into an area restricted to players, coaches and team staff.

He let out a heavy breath, and from this point on, Lin Xing saw how hot this game was.

In the last game, the Warriors sat at home and defeated the Suns, tying the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

For that game, the Oakland Arena was hot enough.

This game is much hotter than the last one, Lin Xing can only sigh: "This league has gone crazy."

There is no way not to be crazy, 33 consecutive victories can be said to be the team record with the highest gold content in front of this Warriors.

"Prior to this, the Warriors have already broken the league record for regular season wins, and they are the current record holder for 72 wins."

"Now, they are about to hit the league's historical winning streak again. If they do, they will be the most dominant team in NBA history."

The record for the most wins in a single season has already been broken, isn't that the record for the most consecutive victories?
The record for the most consecutive victories has been broken. The Warriors are not the most dominant team in NBA history. Who is?

And at this moment, the basketball world witnessed the moment when the Warriors achieved the most dominant team in history.

The Oakland Stadium has attracted the attention of the entire basketball world.

The heat of this game can be imagined.

Lin Xing arrived in the locker room, and soon his teammates also arrived.

Team press officer Peter Russo brought a batch of commemorative T-shirts that the team would wear to celebrate if the game was won.

Nelson Sr. soon arrived, and as soon as he arrived, he told Mike Budenholzer to close the door of the locker room.

Then, he picked up a tactical board and tapped it twice.

"Let's talk about this game, this very important, very important game..."

Even the old Nelson is bluntly speaking about the importance of this game, which shows that...

Lin Xing also knew that, compared to the group of teammates in front of him, the coach with the biggest bonus in this game must be the old Nelson.

After all, this team was formed by the old Nelson.

The team's results were also led by old Nelson.

For the records related to the team, the one with the biggest bonus must be the coach, followed by Lin Xing, the leading star.

……

An important game must be accompanied by a grand appearance ceremony.

Lin Xing stood quietly at the player tunnel of the Oakland Stadium. In front of him, his teammates came out one by one.

The fiery heat of the Oakland Stadium had already rolled towards him through the door opening in front of him.

Soon, Lin Xing heard his name.

"Finally, let's welcome..."

"The Chosen Son of the NBA...the Emperor from the Far East...the Mamba with a big heart...two MVPs...two championships and two Finals MVPs...King of the Bay Area!"

"Sta—Lin—!"

Amidst the cheers that were so hot that people couldn't breathe, Lin Xing rushed out of the player tunnel, waving to both sides excitedly and excitedly.

But in the next second, the on-site host followed up with a supplementary sentence, which made Lin Xing fail.

"He should have been the top voter in this year's All-Star voting!"

It's too targeted, the sentence added by the live host is too targeted.

In New York, David Stern, who was staring at the game, turned black in an instant.

On the court, Lin Xing, who had broken his skills, was not so excited and excited.

The opposite Spurs didn't have any friends or opponents he was familiar with, so he stopped wasting time, turned around and started warming up.

After the warm-up is over, the game will begin.

The two teams started, the Spurs: point guard Avery Johnson, shooting guard Jalen Jackson, small forward Sean Elliott, power forward Tim Duncan, center David Robinson.

Warriors: Point guard Charlie Ward, shooting guard John Starks, small forward Byron Russell, power forward Lin Xing, center Mourning.

In this game, Lin Xing once again appeared in the fourth position.

In this regard, Popovich is still a little surprised.

Against the Suns, the Warriors pushed Lin Xing to the fourth position because they needed man-to-man defense.

But in this game, the Warriors can obviously go to the big book and ask Lin Xing to help defend the Spurs' two insiders.

In Popovich's view, this is the better defense.

How did he know that the old Nelson in this game is a mad scientist.

Old Nelson had already made up his mind, and Lin Xing pushed to the fourth position, man-to-man to guard Duncan.

With Mourning guarding the general, Old Nelson is full of man-to-man defense.

He wants to rely on man-to-man defense and defend the Spurs to death.

But in the eyes of many people, this is a bold idea, and the ending is likely to be a failure.
