unfinished glory

Chapter 107
第三轮的投票结果在2006年的1月14日公布，No.1的李冲霄已经有了258万票的恐怖数据，这个得票数已经超越去年姚明创造的全明星得票记录的255万票了。

After this statistic came out, some comments that had been subdued came out again, like Pierce in the East, who said sourly that if he was from Huaxia, he would be an All-Star starter every season.And Jason Terry directly said that this statistic is ridiculous, at least 95% of the votes were cast by Chinese people.

Some media and commentators have expressed various views on these causes. Like Steve Kerr, he directly said that Li Chongxiao's achievements are not worthy of so many votes. He believes that there is a problem with the league's voting mechanism and that Chinese fans should be restricted. vote.

Seeing more and more doubts, Li Chongxiao was not affected at all. On January 1, he scored a game-high 18 points and beat the Bucks at home, but Popovich still did not bring him any success. press conference.

But Duncan stood up and said to the media: "Many people question whether Daye Lee is eligible to get so many votes. Not understanding that it was a sacrifice he made for the sake of the team going forward."

Duncan continued: "Everyone saw his strength in today's game. With a player of this ability, which team in the league can't be the main player?
As for the All-Star voting, so many fans voted for him, which shows that everyone likes him, and we should respect the fans' decision. "

Before the media and other players continued to be sour, the league stood up and said that the All-Star is a program for fans to watch, so fans have the right to vote for their favorite players and let these players appear in the All-Star arena and on the screen.

Then the league announced the voting statistics. Li Chongxiao won 110 million votes in North America. If all the votes outside North America are taken into account, he still leads other players by more than 30 votes more than the local Kobe.

This statistic is tantamount to slapping Li Chongxiao in the face of the media and players who won the top ticket by relying on his nationality. For a while, the alliance was extremely harmonious. Some players were not so angry when they saw Li Chongxiao. I can only secretly curse the fans in the United States as a bunch of idiots.

So people can't figure out why this is, and they are embarrassed to ask.Duncan was close to the water, so he straight to the point asked Li Chongxiao why.

"Because people are handsome!"

……

EPSN is very good at adapting to the wind, and made a special show on its own face, interviewing some fans.

When asked why he voted for Li Chongxiao, a male fan said: "He plays cool. Not only is his dunk very good-looking, but also very funny. I expect him to bring us the same performance as last year's rookie game in the All-Star Game." .”

Another fan said: "I like Nash very much, but in the All-Star Game, I look forward to Daye Lee's dunk more than Nash's pass."

"Terry? The one from the Mavericks?" Some fans said: "Should I choose him to shoot three-pointers? Even if it is a three-pointer, you must know that Daye Lee is the king of three-pointers!"

"Some media say we are rubbish fans, hehe, is voting for your favorite player a rubbish fan? I just want to vote for Daye Lee and Yao Ming, so that those fools can see our strength."

Of course, female fans are also indispensable:
"He's cool, he's a man, I like the way he dunks!"

"I want to date him!"

……

In the fourth and fifth rounds of voting, everyone could only watch Li Chongxiao and Yao Ming's votes soaring all the way, and no longer dared to speak casually.

Soon on February 2th, when the voting ended, Li Chongxiao garnered 4 million votes, followed by Yao Ming with 411 million votes, greatly surpassing previous records.

Due to the huge disturbance in this voting, many audiences in North America were suddenly attracted to participate.

The Huaxia audience, on the one hand, felt that outsiders should not be able to bully their own people, and on the other hand, when the alliance announced the voting distribution, they felt that it could not be compared, so the participation rate this year was greatly enhanced.

Moreover, Li Chongxiao + Yao Ming, the attention brought by the two people is not as simple as 1+1 greater than 2. It not only increased the attention of the Chinese market several times, but also increased the market share of North America by several points.

This further strengthened Stern's strategy of creating a relatively fair environment for Chinese players. He placed the most important point of globalization in China.

Because there are only five major markets in the world, North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

Europe is the world of football, and the professionalization of basketball there is also going very well, it is difficult to get in.

South America and Africa can basically be ignored, so only Asia is left, and China's market is the biggest piece of cake.

Not only the league, but other NBA players have also benefited, and more and more players have gained wide popularity in China.

This time, Kobe and James, who followed Yao Ming, both received more than 250 million votes. Among them, Kobe broke the record of Yao Ming's votes last year.

This is mainly because he scored 1 points against the Raptors on January 22, which shocked the basketball world and finally attracted a wave of fans for him.

Soon the starting lineup of the All-Stars will be released. The West is Yao Ming, Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Li Chongxiao and Kobe, while the East is O'Neal, Jr., James, Iverson and Wade.

Soon the bench lineup was released one after another. Last year, Ginobili was selected as a substitute for the Western Conference Star Team. This year, he was replaced by Parker.

Several other players have been selected to the All-Star Game before, namely Nash, Garnett, Nowitzki, Marion, Brand and Ray Allen.

There are some changes on the East Star team. O'Neal is injured and cannot play. Carter will start instead of him.The substitutes are Billups, Bosh, Hamilton, Pierce, Ben Wallace, and Rasheed Wallace. The players who will replace Jermaine O'Neill are designated by the league as Arenas.

In addition to the All-Star Game, the names of the Rookie Game, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Game and Slam Dunk Contest have also been announced.

The sophomore team in this year's Rookie Challenge is led by Howard and Li Chongxiao, Okafor is injured again, and the rest are Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni, Devin Harris , Nenad Kostic, Delonte West, Andre Iguodala.

The freshman team here is Bogut, Luthor Hyde, Danny Granger, Sarunas Jaskovicius, Chris Paul, Channing Frye, Nate Robinson, Charlie Villanueva and Deron Williams.

Facing the first-year "junior boys", the second-year players played more freely. Just like James taught Li Chongxiao last year, Li Chongxiao also taught the first-year rookies this year.

Li Chongxiao, who was going to participate in the All-Star Game, was planning to put it aside and play, but Bogut couldn't control his stinky mouth, so he uttered nonsense to give the second grade a good look.

Then Li Chongxiao exploded. He was going to participate in the slam dunk contest tomorrow, so he just showed off a few lobs and big windmills, and used three-pointers for all offense and defense.

He announced early on that he would not participate in this year's three-point contest, and brought his shooting bag to the rookie game. He made 16 three-pointers and made 12 of them.

He scored 24 points in just 42 minutes and won the MVP of the rookie game.

The first-year team was slaughtered by 86 points in 136:50.

On the second day, Wade and Nowitzki won the championship in the skills challenge and three-point contest.

Then there is the much-anticipated slam dunk contest. People are looking forward to whether Li Chongxiao, who flew over Australian center Bogut, will fly over his compatriot Yao Ming.
