106. The All-Stars Are Here

The league announced the All-Star list for the NBA 2010-2011 season as early as mid-November. 60 players from the east and west were shortlisted. As a new player to the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, Wu Dawei used his jaw-dropping performance to be one of the 60 shortlists in the East.

Yi Jianlian, a Chinese player who was originally highly anticipated by Chinese fans, was excluded because he had almost no chance to play with the Washington Wizards and had no performance.

This time it became the focus of Chinese fans' attention at that time, but it was soon covered by the battle of words between Wu Dawei and James. But soon, as February got closer and closer, the end of the focus of LeBron James' return to Cleveland, and the news of the All-Star began to gradually enter the public's attention.

Wu Dawei used his performance in the Cavaliers' home game against the Atlanta Hawks to dispel people's doubts about his explosive performance in the game against the Heat. 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks, which once again surprised people.

But soon, another surprising news came as the league announced the first round of the All-Star Game voting results in December.

The first round vote leader was Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, who won 700,000 votes in the first round, ranking first among 120 players in the east and west.

After announcing the first-round vote winners, the league was the first to announce the first-round voting results for the West District. Kobe Bryant led the West District All-Star, ranking first among all Western Conference players with 680,000 votes.

Following Kobe is followed by Thunder Youth Leader Kevin Durant, followed by Hornets' Chris Paul and Cameron Anthony of the Denver Nuggets's, and the Rockets' Chinese player Yao Ming currently leads the Western Conference center.

Yao Ming was absent due to injury this season and had almost no formality, so his votes were criticized by many people, especially as Los Angeles fans who hosted this season's All-Star Game, they believe Andrew Bynum should win this honor. Although this is not the final answer, some people are already dissatisfied with the Chinese fans' human-season tactics.

However, his attention quickly turned to the East. It has to be said that Wu Dawei was a qualified tank. He successfully pulled away hatred for his compatriot Yao Ming, who was recovering from his wounded compatriot. When his name appeared on the East District All-Star Voting List, he once again started the taunt mode.

Dwight Howard topped the list with 700,000 votes, and behind him was Heat star LeBron James. His "decision" this summer caused James to lose a lot of popularity, but he still has a large number of fans. Even though many people don't like James now, he still holds 650,000 votes and ranks second in the East.

However, the focus of people's attention is not this, but behind James, the third place in the East District voting list is a brand new name.

Chinese player Wu Dawei ranked third in the East with 580,000 votes, and his votes surpassed Dwyane Wade. Chris Bosh has become the top league stars, ranking third!

Of course, this is not the most important thing. As we all know, the All-Stars have always been divided into three positions. The center, the forward and the defender, and the center has only one starting point, while the forward and the defender have two each.

The total ranking of votes does not mean anything, just like in the past few years, when Allen Iverson transferred to the Denver Nuggets, his votes with Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady were almost sticky, and the votes of the three of them ranked in the top five in the West Side. Just because the three of them were all defenders, one of them still couldn't appear on the starting list.

But the problem now is that Wu Dawei not only ranks third in the entire Eastern Conference league in the number of votes, but also as a forward, his votes are the second highest among forward players. Second only to LeBron James' 650,000 votes, Knicks power forward Amare Stodmeier, who ranked third, is 100,000 votes!

This caused an uproar, especially among New York fans. They believed that Wu Dawei was not worthy of such rankings and honors at all.

"When you stand Amare Stoudemire on your left and the Chinese stand on your right. When you need to make a decision on which person to stay, I think anyone will extend his left hand without hesitation! Amare has played an incredible performance this season, averaging 25 points per game. He is currently the top ten player in the league's scoring list! Are you sure such an outstanding player will lose to a rookie who averages only 15 points per game in popularity?"

The Knicks' number one fan and famous director Spike Lee seemed very angry when he talked to the reporters about the All-Star East League vote ranking: "Although the Chinese striker has played very well in recent times, the All-Stars have not watched it for a while. Amare averaged 25 points per game this season and should receive more fair treatment than now! I think fans around the world want to see more Amare Stoudemire started at the Stamps Center on February 19, rather than the Chinese."

When a reporter told Spike Lee that votes do not best represent the fans' wishes, Spike Lee looked sneered: "That only means there are many Chinese people."

Such an answer is obviously a bit discriminatory, but Spike Lee, who has always been arrogant, will not be afraid of these things.

For the same problem, some reporters threw it to Heat CEO Pat Riley. Because his recent quarrel with Barkley made people know that the Heat CEO is not very optimistic about Wu Dawei.

The answer I got was similar to Spike Lee. Pat Riley, who only paid more attention to his public image, was not as straightforward and arrogant as Spike Lee, but expressed his opinion in a tactful way: Wu Dawei was not worthy of the position of inventing the star in the East District, and this position should belong to Chris Bosh, because he was the unquestionable candidate for this position last season.

Wu Dawei, who had just finished his doubts and ridicule about himself, obviously soon got into trouble again, but in Wu Dawei's own opinion, this was not a problem.

"Hey, Ramon, I got the third in the East, which is much higher than Williams! How could this be a problem? Maybe I'll be in Los Angeles in February next year."

Wu Dawei showed that proud expression again, and Ramon Sessions could only spread his hands. In fact, after watching the TV report, Sessions was indeed a little worried about Wu Dawei's current situation.

In the past, Wu Dawei was criticized and ridiculed because of the war of words that were hyped by the media; but now, Wu Dawei has emerged too quickly and quickly won the honor that people think is not in line with his current performance, Sessions is worried that Wu Dawei will become the target of public criticism.

His ranking must have caused dissatisfaction among many people. The difference this time is that the dissatisfied people are not only fans outside the circle, but also many insiders. In an interview with the New York Times, Amare Stoudemire, the star of the Knicks, admitted that his number of votes should not be so low, especially because he could not accept that he would actually rank behind Wu Dawei.

Although Wu Dawei talked to Ramon Sessions with a smile, he was not stupid. He understood that everything he had at present was not only because of his huge fan base as a Chinese player, but also because of his performance in recent times.

Everything I get now comes from my outstanding performance on the court. If one day I perform incorrectly, Wu Dawei believes that the current flower balls and brocades will immediately become sharp as sharp as a knife, piercing him to the point of being completely deficient!

Therefore, Wu Dawei knew that he must continue his excellent performance and let those who are or are about to express dissatisfaction shut up and perform better than the star players who are currently behind him!

Leave them speechless.

Therefore, Wu Dawei knew that defeating LeBron James was not the end of the pressure, but the arrival of a new round of challenges! If you want to become an excellent player or even a great player, the rugged road will be destined to be with you forever.

And now, they are on their way to the All-Star Game.
