Chapter 1190 The shocking alliance and the murderous Kobe(1/2)
On December 16, 2013, when Seattle returned to Seattle from Denver with a 24-game winning streak, the league announced the results of this year's All-Star Game voting.
In the entire first round, Ye Si received a total of 5.1 million votes and became the top vote-getter in the first round. This is not surprising.
"In the previous three All-Star Games, the top vote-getter in the first round only received less than 1 million votes. After Yes comes back, it's simply not the same style!"
"I can only say that those die-hard fans who don't watch the NBA and only watch Yes are back!"
The results of the first round of All-Star voting announced by the league this year are indeed quite astonishing. The total number of votes in the first round has almost doubled and doubled again.
In the United States, American fans of coconut flour also have the largest number.
But due to local cultural reasons, there are also many fans of other teams.
But internationally, it can be said that 80% of fans who watch the NBA are coconut fans and SuperSonics fans.
This is no joke at all. 90% of the NBA's largest fan group, Chinese fans, are coconut fans. Even if you say you are not a coconut fan, you will never say that you don't like Ye Si, but that you like Yao Ming more than Ye Ye.
That’s all.
The amount of coconut flour is indeed huge to an incredible level.
As a result, something that many people joked about before the All-Star voting results turned into a joke after the results came out.
When Ye Si was not in the NBA, Kobe Bryant's rise to prominence in the past three years prompted the leader of the community, "Pickled Pepper Koclaw" to follow the example of coconut flour and shout that there are "five billion Kobe fans" in the world.
At the same time, in order to challenge the fans, James fans shouted that there are "12 billion" James fans in the whole world.
As for whether there are so many people in this world, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, most people can't even read the map where they are, so how can they possibly know how many people there are in the world?
Anyway, Coconut Flour is claimed to be seven billion, and Ke Mi is claimed to be five billion. Jamie cannot be at a disadvantage. No matter what, he needs 12 billion to suppress the Ke Mi Alliance!
It is precisely for this reason that after Ye Si came back this time, many neutral fans were joking about it.
"With the number of fans, fans and Jamie, the All-Star voting will probably explode this time!"
"Even if only 1% of Coconut fans, Ke fans and Jamie vote, this year's All-Star votes will reach a record 240 million!"
There's nothing wrong with it. Combining jam with coconut flour is indeed 24 billion. Isn't 100th of 24 billion equal to 240 million?
Of course, these neutral fans are actually making fun of the three fans.
Except for really stupid people, they will never really believe that there are 7 billion coconut flour, let alone 5 billion Kefen and 12 billion Jammy.
Therefore, after the All-Star voting this time, apart from Coconut Flour, Jamie and Comey were really a little embarrassed.
Especially Comet.
Because, in this All-Star voting, apart from the incredible ability of coconut flour to attract votes, it is shocking.
This time the league announced the Western Conference All-Star starters.
Kobe, who claims to have 5 billion kermies, is not even second in the guard position, not even third!
The Seattle SuperSonics took all five All-Star starters in the entire Western Conference!
Yes is the vote king in the West.
The three starting frontcourt players in the West are Durant, Leonard and Antetokounmpo.
Apart from Yeezy, the other backcourt player in the Western Conference is not Kobe Bryant or James Harden.
Another starting backcourt player in the Western Conference is Rajon Rondo, who is known as the number one mythical beast in the NBA, the Vicious Dog of the Holy City, and the Yin Beast of the Kingdom of God.
All five starting players in the Western Conference are occupied by Seattle SuperSonics players.
Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the three starters in the NBA All-Star Game in the past three years, who have been able to serve as starters in the NBA All-Star Game before, all fell to the back position this time.
According to the results of the All-Star voting announced this time, in the guard position, the first place is Yez, the second place is Rondo, the third place is James Harden, and Kobe is only fourth.
In the frontcourt position, Durant ranks first, Leonard ranks second, Antetokounmpo ranks third, Yao Ming ranks fourth, and Yi Jianlian ranks fifth.
Moreover, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Kobe Bryant still have a lot of votes from the previous Sonics players!
This is somewhat incredible.
Forget it about Kobe.
You know, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming have been NBA starting players since they entered the NBA.
David Stern has never cut off Chinese fans' All-Star votes.
These two people have All-Star ability, and Chinese fans are enthusiastically willing to vote for them. There is no reason for them to miss the All-Star game.
Therefore, Yao Ming has been an All-Star starter for eleven consecutive years.
Yi Jianlian has also been an All-Star starter for six consecutive years.
According to many people, Yi Jianlian aside, Yao Ming can continue to start all the way until he retires!
Even Yao Ming is the player in the NBA who is most likely to break Jordan's 14 consecutive NBA All-Star starts.
It can be said that a player like Yao Ming will never lose his spot as an All-Star starter no matter how the world changes.
But this time, something seems to be different.
In this year's regular season, Yao Ming's playing time continues to decline, and his role in the Warriors' regular season tactical system has once again declined. This is to protect Yao Ming. After all, Yao Ming is now old and cannot be too harsh in the regular season.
But even with a data of 168, Yao Ming can still be selected as an All-Star starter.
As long as those Chinese fans vote for him as usual.
Only this time, something is really different.
"Generation of Miracles, neat and tidy!"
This is the pinned message on Twitter and Weibo after the results of the All-Star voting came out.
No. 15 is No. 2, both in the United States and China, it has huge influence.
Both Twitter and Weibo have over 10 million followers.
Not only the coconut flour leader on the external network, but also the coconut flour leader on the internal network.
When the All-Star voting began, Not Fifteen or Second had been promoting the inclusion of Generation of Miracles in the All-Star campaign.
At that time, many people actually laughed at me when I saw that Not Fifteen and Second had spent millions of dollars as activity funds to promote this event.
It is easy for all the Generation of Miracles to enter the All-Stars, but it is almost impossible to neatly occupy all the starting positions.
Not to mention Kobe, the All-Star games of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were too buggy.
Even if it's Kobe, who can speak Chinese, do you think his combat effectiveness will be worse?
However, after the results of the first round of All-Star voting came out, the entire league was shocked.
It’s not that Fifteen, it’s that Number Two actually managed to accomplish this!
The Seattle SuperSonics' Generation of Miracles really occupied all the starters in the Western Conference!
When the league announced the All-Star voting results, as the person at the center of the storm, Yao Ming was very emotionally stable.
After all, he has no interest in breaking Jordan's record with consecutive All-Star games.
What's there to pursue in a record of this kind of gimmick?
What's more, these records are all prepared for Little Ye Zi in the end.
Let alone these so-called consecutive All-Star records, even if he is an All-Star, his interest is not that great.
After all, for him, he already has all the honors he has.
Including All-Star MVP.
The year before last, he was the NBA All-Star MVP.
For him, his career can be said to be perfect and couldn't be more perfect.
NBA championship, NBA MVP, FMVP, All-Star MVP, best defensive player, first team, first defense, Olympic champion, World Championship champion, Diamond Cup champion.
He has already received all the honors he can get.
In addition, he is the first and only player in NBA history to have a 70-record record in four regular seasons.
Therefore, now he no longer attaches so much importance to these gimmicky things.
What he values more now is his status in world basketball history and NBA history.
As for the status of Chinese basketball...
It must be second, and there is nothing to pursue.
In world basketball history, he is now competing to be the number one center in world basketball history.
The No. 1 center in FiBA history, his opponent is his idol Sabonis. As China has become the first Grand Slam team in the history of basketball and the only team to win a Grand Slam in international competitions, this is basically stable.
When Sabonis was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 2011, he bluntly stated that he was no longer the greatest center in international basketball.
Therefore, Fiba’s position is basically stable.
The only thing that is unstable now is the NBA's historical status.
2MVP1FMVP1 champion, ranked twelfth in history.
