Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 133

The results of the Blazers vs. Cavaliers game were quickly submerged in the endless NBA news, and the most concerned one is undoubtedly the final voting results of the 2009 Phoenix All-Stars.Although Ye Feng was ranked No.7 in the Western Conference forward position in the first round of voting, it is obvious that this momentum cannot make him an All-Star starter in his rookie season like Yao Ming, but he still pays attention to the All-Star voting As a result, even if he could only play in the Rookie Challenge.

The next game was also at home, against the Washington Wizards. There were two days between the two games, which gave Ye Feng enough time to rest, and gave him the leisure to pay attention to the list of All-Star players in the East and West. On January 1, the NBA officially announced the results of the 22 All-Star Game. The starting lists of the East and West are also freshly released. The East is Wade, Iverson, James, Garnett and Howard, and the West is Kobe, Paul, Duncan, Stoudemire and Yao Ming.Of course, there is no Ye Feng's share, and even the substitute may not have his name, but he still feels very happy, because the big brother Yao Ming has once again become the starting center of the Western All-Stars, as long as he is a Chinese, he will feel honored. Yan.

Howard of the Magic is the vote king of this All-Star Game, he got a record 3150181 votes.Howard, who was crowned the NBA's tallest dunk leader in last year's All-Star Game in New Orleans, is also leading the league in rebounds, blocks and double-doubles this season for the third time in his career Participating in the All-Star is also the second time to become a starter.This time he easily surpassed Yao Ming's record of 2558728 votes set four years ago, which is really surprising.And Yao Ming "only" got 2532958 votes this time. This is his seventh consecutive All-Star starting center, but he did not appear in the All-Star game in New Orleans last year due to injuries.

Among the other players in the East, as the two-time All-Star Game MVP in 2006 and 2008, James narrowed the gap between himself and Howard in the final stage, and he finally got 2940823 votes.Garnett, one of the Big Three in Boston, is still popular and won 2066833 votes. He and James are the starting strikers of the Eastern All-Stars. Yi Jianlian, who is also from China, ranks third behind Garnett with 253004 votes. .In terms of guards, the 2006 Finals MVP Wade took the top spot with 2741413 votes. Iverson, who switched to the Pistons, was also hot. The star's backcourt.

The Western Conference vote king is Kobe Bryant who has just lost the finals. "Peter Pan" ranked first with 2805397 votes, followed by Spurs star Duncan with 2578168 votes.With Kobe as the Western All-Star backcourt is Paul, who received 2134798 votes, while the other starting forward is Stoudemire of the Suns, who received 1460429 votes by virtue of his highly ornamental style of play , his teammate O'Neal got 1850018 more votes than him, but he can only be No.2 in the center position. But having said that, he has not become the starting center in the Western Conference since Yao Ming joined the NBA.

The Rockets' McGrady and the Nuggets' Anthony are undoubtedly the biggest losers in the All-Star voting process.Just 12 hours ago, McGrady was ahead of Paul by 157063 votes in the last official election results, but he only got 1678516 votes in the end, nearly 46 votes behind Paul; while Anthony also led Stoudemire by 12 votes 10431 hours ago, However, he only had 1337519 votes in the end, not only overtaken by Stoudemire, but also overtaken by Bo Wen and Ci Shiping.Therefore, the All-Star voting is still very cruel, and it is not safe to lead by more than [-] votes. Under normal circumstances, it is still difficult for dark horses to be among them.

Ye Feng's mentality is quite good. It's not that he doesn't envy those players who can participate in the All-Star Game, but he is very clear that he is not qualified yet. To be able to rank seventh in the Western Conference forward in the first round of voting is already the majority of fans. Love it, it is impossible to make yourself an All-Star in one go. He is not a player like Yao Ming who has been playing in China before entering the NBA.However, he did not feel discouraged. The previous battle with James completely changed his state of mind. Now he is full of confidence in himself. He is just an All-Star, and his goal is to win the NBA championship.

This time, the All-Star Weekend will be held on February 2th in Phoenix, the home of the Suns. It will be two or three weeks from now, and Ye Feng can't wait.For most players, the All-Star Weekend is a good time to rest, but Ye Feng is not excited about this. On February 13th, the day before the start of the All-Star Game, there will be a Rookie Challenge , he and his former teammates Westbrook and Love will once again fight side by side, and his current teammate Oden, who is also counted as a first-year rookie, will also appear in the Rookie Challenge.

What made him even more excited was that the coaches of the first and second grade teams in the Rookie Challenge will be played by two current NBA superstars. The one in charge of the first grade team is "The Flash" Wade, and Ye Feng is undoubtedly his coach. Fans, just look at the number 3 on yourself.This time being able to charge under the command of the idol is another thing that makes him very excited besides playing with his former teammates. Although Wade's on-the-spot command may not be as good as a professional coach, his vision is not his own. This group of first-year rookies can be compared, and this game must be quite interesting.

But for Ye Feng, the most important thing now is to play the game seriously, so that he can hope to become the first-year starting small forward. If the next game is not good, Wade won't care if you are him or not Nine out of ten fans will be pushed directly on the bench.Although there are young players like Rose and Beasley in the first grade, the former is the No. [-] pick in the draft and the latter is Wade's teammates, but Westbrook and Love may not be unable to start, in case he is sitting alone on the bench If you do it, you will definitely be ridiculed by those two guys.

Besides, there is another benefit to being the starter, maybe it can only be considered a disadvantage for others, but Ye Feng is still looking forward to it.Obviously, the second-year starting small forward will only be Westbrook's teammate, Durant, who is equally talented, and before the All-Star Weekend, the team will have two home and away games against the Thunder. Isn't this the rookie challenge? Is it a rehearsal?
