I just play ball

Chapter 446 Make a big news

Li Yue recalled briefly, and remembered the results of the first round of voting before, ranking first.

I didn’t do anything outrageous this week. It’s a bit exaggerated to fall directly to the third place. The key is that the increase is too small, but there are too many intermediate links in the All-Star voting. In recent years, there is a saying that voting in China is not included in the total. .

There are such rumors, mainly because Yi Jianlian almost surpassed Garnett in the vote at the beginning, but it didn't rise much later.

The Yao Ming era must have counted, otherwise he wouldn't have been elected to the All-Star vote twice.

Taylor sent a text message to remind him that he probably wanted to do something.

Li Yue responded to the message expressing his understanding, and Taylor immediately sent a picture of various measures to win the All-Star vote. After all, there are still two rounds of voting. If it can work perfectly, he hopes to overtake LeBron and reach the top.

After a cursory glance, there are roughly four plans, one is to entrust familiar media to help publicize, the other is to buy Twitter trending searches, the third is to call for more fans through offline advertisements, and the fourth is to invite NBA celebrities to initiate a proposal .

This is not a shameful thing, because running for president also involves canvassing votes. On the contrary, it is a responsibility to the fans and the endorsement manufacturers. If they succeed in single-voting champion, the fans will feel happy, and the endorsement manufacturers will also get more benefits.

As long as the method is legal, does not destroy social harmony, does not violate moral principles, and is strong enough to take on the role, it will be fine.

Li Yue told him to let it go, and Taylor replied that he would immediately apply to the company for a budget, and that he would not spend his own money.

After playing with the mobile phone for a while, the door of the locker room was opened, and reporters poured in to ask questions.

Li Yue answered briefly, rejected the press conference, and drove back to the apartment.

...

At noon the next day, the entire Lakers team gathered at the airport and set off for Portland.

After an hour's flight, I got off the plane and went directly to the Rose Garden. After the game, I flew back to Los Angeles.

The whole team started to shoot and warm up at [-] o'clock, and Li Yue chatted with his old teammate Steve Blake halfway through.

The Blazers have performed well this season and are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference. It can be said that half of their foot has entered the playoff circle.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the locker room of the visiting team, the coaching staff simply explained the main points of the match, which was basically the same as last season.

Because the core lineup of the Blazers has not changed, the offensive method has naturally changed little, but the defense is stronger than before, mainly due to the fact that the Blazers have just completed the transaction recently. .

At six o'clock, the game officially started.

Bryant did not play due to back-to-back trips.

Li Yue became the absolute core. The Blazers unceremoniously started to double-team him from the Lakers' first attack, intentionally letting others shoot from the three-point line, but Iguodala and Price really felt cold. A total of 9 of 2 shots in the quarter.

Li Yue was limited on the offensive end, so he devoted most of his energy to defense, and Matthews made 5 of 1 shots in the first quarter.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers led by only three points, but had seven more fouls than the Blazers.

With more than 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Blazers tied the score and gave up double-teaming Li Yue.

Li Yue immediately felt like a fish in water, hitting three three-pointers in a row, plus blocks and steals, directly stopping the Blazers.

The Blazers could only adopt the double-teaming strategy again, but Li Yue's touch was thoroughly developed, and he hit shots consecutively, and even caused fouls to be punished, helping the Lakers to play a 15-0 offensive climax, and the number of turnovers was zero.

Lillard rushed to shoot a three-pointer, the Lakers counterattacked and scored, and the Blazers fell to the bottom.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Blazers 114 to 98.

Li Yue scored 35 points and 12 assists, including 23 points in the fourth quarter, with a [-]% hit rate.

The whole team returned to Los Angeles overnight. Before boarding the plane, Taylor sent an email to Li Yue, saying that the hot search on Twitter had been arranged, and the core keywords were 'everything', 'the king of the last quarter', 'facing double-teams as good as Jordan' , and there are already a number of media headed by TMZ willing to help publicize, and the corresponding price is to give priority to providing relevant revelations in the future.

After a day off, the Lakers challenged the Clippers away.

Many fans deliberately dressed as Lakers fans and booed the Clippers when they were on offense.

Perhaps because they felt prejudiced and discriminated against, the Clippers took an extremely serious attitude, as if they were playing in the playoffs.

But Kobe had three days off, and his touch and condition were in good condition. In the first quarter, he scored 6 of 4 and got 2 steals, while Li Yue was completely crushed against Barnes. The Lakers led 34 to 24 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe took the initiative to provoke the important task of organizing, and he also worked extremely hard on Paul's defense. In addition, Li Yue and Iguodala interfered with the passing route, and most of the Clippers' offenses became single-handed. With the two of Riffin, the rest of the Clippers could only score by catching the ball, but the shooting percentage was low, leading the Lakers to a 36-24 lead in a single quarter.

Although trailing by 22 points, the Clippers did not choose to give up, but they played too aggressively and were severely whistled by the referee. Paul got his fourth personal foul early and had to leave the game early to rest, and the Clippers fell into chaos.

Li Yue and Kobe took the opportunity to lead the team to grab points. The two helped the Lakers lead 29-15 in a single quarter.

Trailing by 36 points, the Clippers chose to admit defeat early, and the Lakers won 124-99.

Li Yue scored 41 points with only 1 turnover.

After the game, Stephen A. Smith retweeted data expert Bigdite.

The tweet mentioned that so far this season, Li Yue’s offensive efficiency is as high as 125, tying Michael Jordan’s peak 90-91 season, and his defensive efficiency has also reached a terrifying 99. At the small forward position, he has already competed with Pippen and Mercy The equal defense experts are evenly matched. If it weren't for Kobe's absence for several games before, Li Yue's data would be even better.

This tweet was quickly reposted by a large number of media and commentators, and it was on the hot search list within half an hour.In the vast number of related discussion tweets, the number of fans who spontaneously called for voting for Li Yue as the All-Star vote champion increased visibly to the naked eye.

The Lakers had a day off, and sat at the Staples Center on the night of the [-]th to face the visiting Magic.

As soon as the game started, Li Yue showed a fiery touch. Kobe took the lead in making the ball, and the rest of the team followed suit. However, the Magic's hard power was too far apart. We could only watch Li Yue do whatever he wanted on the offensive end and be bullied on the defensive end.

In the end, the Lakers won 111 to 84. Li Yue scored 57 points and only made 4 free throws.

Such explosive data does not require media and commentators to publicize. With the discussion of fans, it has become a hot search. Spontaneous calls to vote for Li Yue as the king of votes have increased again. Even Russell, a famous Green Army star, tweeted to show that he voted.

At noon on the [-]th, the NBA officially announced the results of the third round of the All-Star voting. Li Yue successfully overtook Curry and regained the top spot in the Western Conference, but he was still slightly behind LeBron, ranking second in the league.

Taylor was very displeased with this result, but unfortunately this gap is not determined by strength. In just one week, it is difficult to get more fans to vote. Li Yue knows that he can be voted champion last year, and some viewers feel a fresh bonus.

The real thing is that the All-Star voting of Chinese fans is either not counted or only occupies a very small proportion.

Last year's ranking of No. [-] is still unclear. The reason behind it may have something to do with the regulation that all players are allowed to vote for the first time in this year's All-Star.

It is absolutely impossible for the NBA to change the rules, but Li Yue wants to do something and strive for it with all his strength.

The object of the incident is the Cavaliers who will be playing at home on the 15th.
