I have a data panel in basketball

Chapter 181
The number of votes for the first stage was announced, and Lin Yu became the "king of votes" for the first stage.

This made Lin Ri very happy, and he also publicly expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support on his Twitter.

The entire league also fell into heated discussions because he became the "vote king" in the first stage.

Although "All-Star Ticket King" is not a hard honor, when comparing the historical status of two players, this honor is rarely used to compare the historical status of two players.

However, in the entire history of the NBA, there is only one guy who has achieved the achievement of becoming the "All-Star Vote King" in his rookie season.

Coincidentally.

It is none other than Lin Ri's current teammate Grant Hill.

Grant Hill, who used to be very popular in the NCAA, became the "All-Star vote king" in his first year in the league, creating a precedent.

In the second year, he squeezed out Michael Jordan and was re-elected as the NBA All-Star voter.

It can be seen that he is very popular!
However, it is not uncommon to win consecutive All-Star votes. The number of people who have done this in the NBA has exceeded the number of one hand.

The real shocker is that Grant Hill became the "voting king" in his rookie season!

From the development of the NBA for so many years, he is the only one who has done such a thing. It can be seen how difficult it is!
But now, Lin Ri seems to be on the verge of becoming the second "Grant Hill". He won the "Voting King" in the first stage of the All-Star starting vote, and compared with No.2, he has accumulated an advantage of more than 2 votes. It is very likely that he will really become the second "Grant Hill"!
This naturally aroused heated discussions throughout the league.

As the two most popular stars in the league at present, LeBron James and Kobe were asked about this matter.

The current No.1 Kobe in the league said bluntly: "No matter what kind of results this kid achieves, I will not be surprised. He has such talent... Do I want the All-Star ticket champion? Well, what I want to win more than this is the championship! I have passed that stage..."

Considered by many experts to be "the first face of the league touted by the league," LeBron James said: "This is a very cool thing. I have never done such a thing. If I can witness it again (something like Grant Hill's rookie season and becoming the All-Star vote leader), it will be very interesting to think about!"

Their attitude doesn't really care about the All-Star voting champion. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they have already become the All-Star voting champion. Kobe was the vote champion in 03, and LeBron James was the vote champion in 07.

In addition, and more importantly, for the two of them, what they are pursuing at this stage is different. The All-Star ticket champion sounds very prestigious, but the All-Star Weekend is just an entertainment event after all. No one will compare the All-Star MVP with the regular season MVP and the finals MVP, which can explain the problem.

Similarly, the top ticket is good, but for LeBron James, what he needs more at this stage is a championship, which is what can consolidate his status in the league.

You know, before you know it, LeBron James has entered the league for the sixth year.

For Kobe, the title of No. 1 in the league must be more prestigious than any All-Star vote winner.So what he has to do is to consolidate his position and continue to prove that "what O'Neal can do, he can do too!"

O'Neal can lead the team to the championship, and he has proved that he can also lead the team to the championship.

Now what he wants to prove is that O'Neal can lead the team to defend the title, and he can also lead the team to defend the title!
In addition, Dwyane Wade was also asked this question, and there was a little longing in his eyes: "This must be cool. Next time I see the sun, I will definitely ask him how he feels when he hears the news."

Although Wade is currently a phenomenon-level star in the league, it is a pity that he has not won the "All-Star Ticket King" so far.

That's why he yearns for it.

Of course, what he cares more about is not this, what he cares more about is when his awesome teammates will arrive!
Howard, as last season's vote leader, is currently the guy closest to Lin Day's votes. He answered this question: "This is a cool thing. As an inside player, the sun has become the vote leader in the first stage, and I also became the vote leader last season. This at least proves that in this era, there are still many fans who like our inside players. We can still be the most eye-catching guy in a team, and of course, we can also be the core of the team!"

Hmm... Howard continues to quarrel with the team because of the positioning of the fans, but he will try his best to talk about any topic that can be related to this matter.

Just judging from the current effect, uh...it seems a bit ordinary.

Stan Van Gundy and the management of the Magic are as if they can't hear you. As long as you don't mess around on the court, you can complain if you want to!

This also made Howard full of resentment.

There are more complaints.

But in this way, Howard's own popularity is ruined. Many experts criticized him more than once, "I have never heard of the best defensive player who always emphasizes his right to shoot!!"

In short, Howard's life has become more and more unsatisfactory during this time.

I knew that I would not have invested so much on the defensive end a few years ago.

Howard regrets...

In addition to these super giants being asked, Carmelo Anthony was also asked about Lin Ri becoming the king of votes.

"I don't know how to put it, but it's definitely something that never occurred to me, and what I'm trying to say is, All-Star voting is what it is, it's not accurate at times."

Although it is only two simple sentences, the meaning is obvious.

Coupled with Carmelo Anthony's stinky face.

There is no doubt that he is upset!

The first game of the new year for the Suns is none other than the Nuggets!Carmelo Anthony expressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Ri's election as the first-stage vote leader at this time...it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Moreover, there was some beef between Carmelo Anthony and Lin Ri. After Lin Ri refused to endorse Jordan, Carmelo Anthony stood up and dissed Lin Ri.

However, it was still too early for the Nuggets and the Suns to meet at that time, and neither of them had much comment on each other, so the follow-up did not cause too much discussion and controversy.

But now, it can be said that it is new hatred plus old hatred! !
This immediately made the Suns' away game against the Nuggets full of highlights.

Lin Day also responded to Carmelo Anthony's words before the game day came the next day: "I don't think he thought he would lose in his first game this year!"-There are so many things you didn't expect!
Like the Suns, the Nuggets play the Suns, and this game is also their first game of the year.Lin Ri said that the Nuggets will lose their first game of the new year, which means that the Nuggets will lose their game.

It was just a simple sentence, but it responded well to Cameron's previous evaluation of him, and at the same time expressed his determination to win this game.

"Irritable Lin Ri" gradually appeared some clues.

Of course, this undoubtedly angered Carmelo Anthony.

When Lin Ri saw him that night during the game, the guy gave him a hard look the first time he looked at him.

Obviously very angry.

He really didn't expect that Lin Ri, a newcomer, would dare to choke on his words.

Do you really think that winning the top ticket in the first stage proves that you can do it?
Just wait and see, kid!
You'll soon find out what kind of guy you've messed with!
Carmelo Anthony thinks something is up with Lin Ri!
Lin Ri looked at him and didn't take it seriously.For him, the ones who make troubles are all enemies, and when he gets on the field, it's over!

……

The game starts soon.

Although this game is the home of the Nuggets.

But it was the Suns who opened up the situation first.

They opened up the point difference smoothly from the beginning with 7-1.

The Nuggets are currently only ranked 6th in the West, only 2 more wins than the seventh-ranked Grizzlies. It can be said that the results are not very good, especially compared with them in the same period last season, and they cannot be compared together.

Last season, the Nuggets entered the new year in third place in the Western Conference, behind the Lakers and Spurs.

This year, they are almost falling to seventh in the Western Conference.

This is also an unexpected thing for many experts who are very optimistic about the Nuggets before the start of the new season. They can't figure it out-after a year of running-in, they should have a better understanding. In terms of team strength, they should be a better Nuggets team. Why can't they even make it to the top four in the Western Conference!
Jin Terry was still very worried before the start of this game. After all, the Nuggets were the team that broke into the Western Conference Finals last season.

Although the current state is not very good.

But their background is there.

If the Nuggets are in good shape in this game and regain the feeling of last season, they may not be able to play the power of last season!

So before the game started, he didn't think the Suns would definitely have the upper hand from the start of the game.

After all, they are not the only ones who want to win this game!

Carmelo Anthony wants to win, which means the Nuggets want to win.

But judging from the current situation, there is indeed a reason why this team ranked sixth in the Western Conference and almost fell to seventh in the Western Conference.

They are indeed no longer as strong as they were last season.

Gentry will not be able to see what's wrong with the Nuggets for a while, but one thing he can be sure of is that it is difficult for the Nuggets to regain the feeling of last season.

When Gentry saw it now, his greatest feeling was that the guys from the Nuggets obviously couldn't keep up with the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Suns from the beginning to the present.

To put it more directly... Gentry feels that the Suns are playing a weak team tonight!
Carmelo Anthony's face has been calm tonight, and after the game started, it was so serious that it was almost frosted.

His expression wasn't just because he was down by 5 points.

Also because Lin Ri completed a stunning dunk as soon as he came up!

This is actually Lin Ri's routine operation. Take a look at the "Today's Five Best Shots" from this season to the present. As long as there is a Suns team that night, Lin Ri's dunk will definitely be on the list.

As of now, the Suns have nearly 40 games in total, and Lin Ri has completed 101 dunks.

He dunks nearly 4 times in a game.

For him, dunks are really just a means of scoring.

And because of his physical fitness, it is naturally difficult for him not to contribute brilliant dunks.

Really routine!
Anyway, it can be seen from the fact that many experts no longer specifically discuss Lin Ri's dunk, they are used to Lin Ri contributing such a performance.

But that's someone else's opinion, not Carmelo Anthony's.

In his opinion, this guy is provoking him!
Now that the Nuggets are behind, and he missed a previous shot, it is not difficult to understand his expression at the moment.

"Bah!"

However, his face was getting more and more stinky and it didn't affect Lin Ri. After two rounds, he grabbed an offensive rebound and completed another violent dunk.

I want to fight back!

I must fight back!

Carmelo Anthony looked at Lin Ri returning to the defense and spread his hands as if saying "this is too easy", which made him couldn't help it anymore.

He asked his teammates for the ball directly.

Before the start of the game, his idea was to keep taking shots and win the Suns, but after seeing the performance of others at the beginning, he decided to play support first, so that his teammates could recover.

After all, he not only needs to perform well in this game, but more importantly, he needs to win this game. You must know that Lin Ri said before the game that the Nuggets will lose the first game of the new year... This means that as long as the Nuggets don't win this game, then Lin Ri's words will come true. At that time, no matter how he performs, he will be beaten in the face.

Therefore, he must win this game!
But now watching Lin Ri score one goal after another, and his current score column is still 0 points, he can't help it.

Now even if Lin Ri moved his finger, he felt that Lin Ri was mocking him.

It can be seen from this how bad his mood is now.

He has to score a few by himself before talking about other things!
For Ariza, Carmelo Anthony, like Pierce, is a skilled and tonnage wing "heavy forward", a guy he is not good at dealing with.

So before the start of the game, he discussed with Lin Ri and asked him to fill in the defense.

After recently cooperating with Lin Ri on the defensive end, he has also realized more and more how good Lin Ri is on the defensive end. Now he is very relieved to hand over his back to Lin Ri.

Therefore, he directly chose to rush forward, using his body to continuously compress Anthony's dribbling space.

Is this guy crazy?

Isn't he afraid of my breakthrough?

Anthony didn't expect Ariza to pounce so fiercely, adjusted his dribbling rhythm, and directly forced Ariza.

His strength is much stronger than Ariza's. Although he didn't get rid of Ariza in the first step, he forced Ariza away after entering the free throw line.

Got it!

After reaching the basket, Anthony, who had room to shoot, felt that the ball was stable.

In a situation like this, he really has a thousand ways to put the ball in the basket.

After all, he is an "offensive kaleidoscope"!

"Snapped!"

But the second after he made a shot, there was a crisp sound of slapping the ball.

Carmelo Anthony saw a guy in the Suns wearing jersey No. 95 hooked his hand and took the ball he shot to the other hand.

The action is called domineering!
