Legend of Tomorrow

The voting for the All-Star Game is over, and Guo Xu once again topped the All-Star vote list. His popularity is unmatched and he is the only star with more than 3 million votes.

James ranked second with only 2.51 million votes, a full 600,000 less than Guo Xu. The NBA is all about success and failure, and the two stars who reached the finals are the most popular. Unless a star with a poor record has good scoring data, it will be difficult for him to be popular.

Nike was very happy to see this result. The top vote-getters in the east and west were all their stars.

In terms of the number of All-Star votes, Guo Xu has also shown the potential to become the number one in history. This is the seventh season of his career. He has made six All-Star starts and has become the vote leader five times. He is ranked ahead of Just Michael Jordan.

In 1987, Jordan was elected as the All-Star voting champion for the first time, and since then he has monopolized the All-Star voting for 7 consecutive years. In the 1988 All-Star Game, Jordan scored 40 points and won the All-Star MVP title for the first time. In the 1997 and 1998 seasons, Jordan won the vote champion twice more.

As long as a star doesn't commit suicide and his record is guaranteed, his popularity won't drop significantly after it soars. Experts predict that as long as the sun stays together, Guo Xu will be the top vote-getter every year.

The 9-time All-Star vote leader seemed to be a record that could not be surpassed. It is not difficult for Guo Xu to break it, because he is still very young, and God knows when his condition will decline. No matter which aspect you compare, Guo Xu is another superstar after Jordan who dominates the league.

Starting lineup for Western Conference stars: Guo Xu, Kobe Bryant, Garnett, Duncan, Stoudemire.

Seven substitutes: Memet Okur, Nowitzki, Joe Johnson, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets), Garnett, Josh Howard (Timberwolves).

The Western Conference is full of stars, including Okur and Howard being selected for the first time in their careers.

The Jazz have a great record and deserve someone to be selected as an All-Star. Okur is not the core of the team and is not responsible for holding the ball and attacking, but his statistics this season are very impressive, averaging 18 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 46% from the field and 38.4% from the three-point range.

Howard performed equally well after joining the Timberwolves and became the team's second leader, averaging 18.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, while shooting 45.6% from the field. He helped the Timberwolves achieve the fourth record in the Western Conference. If he continues like this, there is no suspense about getting a big contract in the summer.

There are still many All-Star leftovers in the West, and any one of them who you pick out may be selected as an All-Star in the East.

Elton Brand, Mike Bibby, Ray Allen and others have very good statistics, but they were not selected for the All-Stars due to the team's record.

The Grizzlies suffered serious injuries. After core Pau Gasol was injured, his record was outside the playoffs and no one was selected.

Zach Randolph's statistics of 20+10 are very good, but he is not a star who is good at leading the team. He mainly relies on singles and rarely assists his teammates.

Without Gasol, the Grizzlies couldn't coordinate inside and outside the ball, and Randolph looked a bit like the cancer he had been with the Trail Blazers. What's interesting is that both Gasol and Gasol, who will enter the NBA in the future, are good at supporting passes and are very suitable to partner with Fatty Lan.

The Suns' Marion and Roy have only lost one game so far, and they were not selected because of their short playing time and average statistics. Many fans expressed dissatisfaction and believed that the Suns' record was terrible and there should not be only two All-Stars.

David West, Deron Williams, Chris Paul and others have statistics but are not famous, so they cannot be selected.

McGrady was selected as a guard and failed to compete with Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant in the starting lineup. He was not selected for the Western Conference All-Star this year. The coaches chose to take Iverson, who had slightly lower votes than him, and did not consider him.

McGrady only shot 42.2% from the field in the mid-term and 32% from the three-point range, which is too low. After Yao Ming was injured, the Rockets' record began to decline, and wing defense was a big problem.

The starting five in the Eastern Conference: Arenas, Wade, James, Boozer, O'Neal.

Seven substitutes: Billups, Hamilton (Pistons), Nash, Vince Carter, Chris Bosh, Caron Butler, Dwight Howard.

Despite the Heat's poor record, there are still two people selected as starters. The All-Star starter is a symbol of popularity. Nash, who has a weak personal scoring ability, did not get more votes than the general who competed with Kobe for the scoring title.

Boozer's popularity has soared since he reached the Finals with the Cavaliers. He has never been selected as a starter in his previous life. This season, he has more votes than O'Neal and Bosh, who has a poor record.

O'Neal Jr. missed the All-Star Game due to injury, and was selected as a substitute by his teammate Butler. This incident made Kobe feel uncomfortable. Some Lakers fans said that he was a waste of his teammates. This is obviously an injustice to Kobe. When there are many stars in the team and everyone shares the ball, the data will definitely drop to varying degrees.

Ben Wallace, the spirit of the Pistons, failed to be selected as an All-Star. Warcraft Howard's defensive statistics are also amazing, and his scoring ability is much better than Ben. So cruel.

In the past, Ben was a low-paid, high-powered representative who was worthy of praise. This season, he has become a high-paid, low-powered player.

The Eastern Conference's All-Star gem is the Hawks' Josh Smith. Under the run-and-gun system, he averaged 18.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.9 blocks per game. He shot 45.6% from the field, except that he couldn't shoot three-pointers. Very comprehensive.

Smith has always been ignored. His popularity is not as good as that of Prince of the Pistons, and the coach did not choose him.

Roy will also participate in the All-Star Weekend. He is the most popular rookie and the only attraction in the first grade.

The 2006 NBA draft was admittedly poor. Only four players, Roy, Bargnani, Adam Morrison, and Aldridge scored in double figures, and two of them were on the bottom team.

The second-year rookie does have a few players with outstanding statistics, but no one has been selected as an All-Star, and the gimmicks are seriously lacking.

The league knew that it would be difficult to attract fans without big-name players participating in the first two days. It wanted to arrange some programs and contacted Guo Xu.

Guo Xu turned it down without thinking about it. Whether it was a concert or a musical, he had to spend a lot of time practicing and rehearsing. He had done this kind of thing once to prove that he could do it, and he didn't want to do it a second time.

Just like Jordan likes to play baseball and golf, he can do it for fun, but it is impossible to make a career out of it.

Guo Xu also did not participate in the activities on the second day. He declined all invitations to the skills competition, dunk competition, and three-point competition. This time during the celebrity weekend, he just wanted to relax outside the venue because the venue was the casino city of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is the only city in history that has hosted the All-Star Game without an NBA team. They hope to find a team to settle here. They have applied several times but the league has not agreed, fearing that it will cause large-scale gambling. . The four major leagues all think so, there are no teams in the casinos.

However, Las Vegas, which does not have an NBA team, has actually always had a close connection with the NBA. The NBA Summer League has been held here since 2004. This is the latest summer league to be established, but it is the largest and most influential in the league.

Guo Xu is going to ask Megan to go to the casino to have some fun and enjoy some gambling.

Gambling among NBA players is very common. Big-name celebrities are often treated as guests at the big casinos in Las Vegas and spend a lot of money, winning or losing tens of thousands of dollars. Jordan is the most famous gambling star. Jordan lost a lot of money in casinos and golf tournaments. Barkley was even more greedy and gambled, with tens of millions of dollars disappearing on the gambling table.

Guo Xu is not bad at gambling, but he often participates in gambling during the time loop, and his skills are pretty good. He plays a lot in the cycle, but he won't do it when he comes out. It won't be good if he develops a habit.
