Chapter 392: All-Star Voting Results
After the game, Xu Xiaodong was found to have more than a dozen fractures, and the injuries in other parts were even more miserable, and he had to lie in the hospital for half a year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He did get a dividend, but the high cost in Los Angeles almost covered his treatment expenses for half a year.
It's almost the same as playing an ugly game without receiving anything in return.
Such a result is undoubtedly a completely unacceptable result for Xu Xiaodong, but it is also such a lesson that makes him truly realize that relying on such a no-limit gimmick to become famous sometimes ends up much worse than imagined.
In fact, such a game is just a small episode in Tang Hao's NBA career.
After donating all the money he earned from the game to charities in the country, he threw himself into the team's long season.
The Lakers are unstoppable, with the team's longest 20-game winning streak in a decade under Tang Hao's excellent leadership, and while the rest of the league is busy with the trade deadline, they are already improving their team's chemistry and preparing for the upcoming playoffs.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye to February of the 15th year, people in China have begun to be busy around the Spring Festival, but in the United States, the NBA league is ushering in the top priority of the season.
The NBA All-Star Game is an entertaining event held by the NBA every season, which simply brings together the best players from the East and West of the league into two teams to present fans with an unprecedented star battle, which can be called a visual feast.
And to accomplish this, there will be an all-star voting process.
The All-Star Game is approaching, and the cities where the teams are located are starting to canvass for the team's All-Star players, and there are endless ways to do it.
Los Angeles is no exception, but unlike last season, they are a bit busy this time.
In addition to Kobe Bryant, the symbol of Los Angeles, Tang Hao, Cousins, and Rondo are all the targets of their canvassing this time.
There are three rounds of All-Star voting, and this time it has entered the final round of voting.
What is surprising but reasonable is that the Lakers have received the highest votes so far not Kobe Bryant, but Tang Hao.
After Grant Hill, Tang Hao is expected to become the second player in history to be elected All-Star in his rookie season.
This day happens to be the day when the All-Stars announce the final voting results.
Tang Hao is temporarily in first place with 1.5 million votes so far, and LeBron James, who ranks second, has 1.35 million votes, and there is only a difference of 150,000 between the two sides.
The voting results are about to be announced, but there is a lot of scolding in China at this time, if nothing else, because the NBA restricts the voting of Chinese fans, so that most people can only act as spectators in this vote.
Everyone knows that if the voting in China is allowed, with Tang Hao's current influence, his votes are estimated to be dozens or even hundreds of times that of others.
It is precisely because Tang Hao may become the second rookie ticket king that the NBA official did not directly announce the results as before, but announced the final results through T.N.T's program.
Supporting this show is Charles Barkley and his old partner Kenny Smith, who had questioned Tang Hao before but was finally convinced by Tang Hao.
"Welcome to T.N.T, where my old partner Kenny and I will be announcing the final results of the new NBA poll. "As soon as the show began, Barkley started setting the mood for the show.
"Hey, Kenny, who do you think will be the All-Star vote winner this year, Stephen (Curry), LeBron (James), Kobe Bryant, James (Harden), or Tang Hao?" said Barkley after his opening remarks, then turned to look at Smith.
"Don. Smith spoke with little hesitation.
"Don, Kenny, that's not your style!, you hesitate for a moment!" Barkley laughed.
"I don't want to be slapped in the face by this guy again, and in fact, this guy's performance is completely worthy of being an All-Star vote. Smith said with a smile.
"Okay, 40 points per game, that's an exaggeration, 6.8 rebounds, how the hell did this guy grab so many rebounds, 10.2 assists, hey, man, he's just a shooting guard!" Barkley began to tout Tang Hao at this moment.
"Although the gap between LeBron and Don is only 150,000 votes, I think this is probably the smallest gap between the two sides. Smith said with a smile that he really thought that Tang Hao would become the All-Star ticket king.
"Okay, I'm hoping Stephen (Curry) can surprise us, so let's reveal the final results of the NBA vote right away, let's release all the votes except for the top five, let's see who will enter the final battle for today's vote. ”
As Barkley spoke, the names of five team members appeared on the big screen behind them.
The All-Star voting results are the starters of the NBA's East and West teams, in other words, only those who successfully enter the top five in the East and West can be successfully elected as the voting king.
The names of the five players who appeared were Waugh, Lowry, and Anthony in the east, and Anthony Davis and Marc Gasol in the west.
Among the five, the highest number of votes was John Wahl of the East, with 880,000 votes, which is significantly lower than the number of votes in the previous five.
"Oh my God, Kevin (Lowry) actually squeezed out Dwyane (Wade) at the last minute, it's crazy, this is the NBA!" Barkley couldn't help but shout when he saw the result.
Wade is one of the greatest stars in NBA history, and his defeat also represents this All-Star, which is destined to be a stage for newcomers.
"Well, I can't wait, let's see who will be the fifth place in this vote. Barkley followed.
"It's a bit like a draft event. Smith chimed in.
And as he spoke, the fifth place had already come out, and it was Pau Gasol from the Bulls, whose final vote was 970,000.
This result caused Barkley to hold his head for a while, you must know that although Gasol has performed well this season, he is already 35 years old, and the results of this election are really unexpected.
"Well, let's take a look at the fourth place, there are a few names that haven't come up yet, but I'm sure they're to be expected. ”
"OK, sure enough, Kobe Bryant!1.1 million! Congratulations to Kobe, he's been re-elected as an All-Star starter, although this time, he's playing as a small forward!" Barkley shouted.
Although the NBA decides the starters by the number of votes, it is also divided into the front and back courts, two in the backcourt, and three in the front court, and the voting results announced this time are all successfully shortlisted for the starters, like Harden, although his votes are also very high, reaching 1.06 million, but in the backcourt is lower than Kobe, so he is not on this list.
"Well, let's take a look at the final votes for the top three, at this time, I'm sure everyone already knows their names, the difference is just their order. Smith began.
"The number three in the line is ......," Barkley lengthened his pitch and clicked on the third-place result.
"LeBron James!1.47 million!oh!oh!This is the NBA!" Barkley shouted as soon as he saw the name.
James had a lead of about 100,000 votes over Curry in the number of votes, but he didn't expect to be overtaken by Curry at the last moment!
"Well, perhaps, we have another accident. Barkley suddenly became excited at this time, although they subconsciously felt that Tang Hao would inevitably become the NBA's new rookie ticket king, but what the fans thought, who knows, now Curry has surpassed James, and this Curry will surpass Tang Hao, it is not impossible!
As media people, what they want to see is naturally lively, and it doesn't matter who it is in the end.
"Hold your breath and let's take a look at the next name. Barkley took a good stance, his eyes staring straight at the screen.
"The second is ......" Barkley clicked on his name, and suddenly showed a helpless smile, "Stephen Curry." ”
"Look, it's Curry, he's got 1.513 million votes, hey, man, he's done well enough!" Smith complimented.
"Congratulations Don, he did it, he became the second player in NBA history to win the All-Star vote after Grant Hill, God, he was a track and field athlete half a year ago!" Barkley cursed after announcing the result.
"Charles, you're wrong this time, that's not what he used to be, he's still a track and field athlete!" Smith reminded.
"Okay...... But let's take a look at Don's final votes first, and honestly, let's guess how much of a lead he will have to win the vote. Barkley returned to the subject and spoke.
"Oh, guess, Charles, it's your favorite part again, so I'll guess 300,000!" Smith said after a moment's thought.
"1.8 million! Kenny, you're a bit bold in predicting, you must know that after 2010, no one has been able to reach this number of votes to become the king of votes. Barkley said with a look of surprise.
"I think he deserves that vote, maybe less. Smith said.
"Although I think Don is also very popular now, but we still have to talk about some basic laws, you know, now the NBA has limited the number of votes in some regions, and it is unlikely that there will be more votes. Barkley said sensibly.
"And what about you, what do you think the gap will be?" Smith looked at Barkley with a smile, wondering what the old partner would give in response.
"500,000. Buckley paused for a moment before speaking.
Smith froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
The difference of 500,000, that is, 2 million, which is more than the 1.8 million he predicted, Barkley is indeed Barkley.
"Well, that's not, I have a hunch that Don will not only be the rookie ticket king, but also a super big surprise. Barkley swore by it.
"Come on, Charles, we didn't know what the votes were, so be careful that we were slapped in the face if we talked too much. Smith reminded.
"Then let's see what the end result is!" Barkley said anxiously.
"Well, I'm sure everyone must be like me, and they can't wait. ”
"Then the result is ......," Barkley said, clicking on the number one spot in the poll.
There is no suspense in the result, Tang Hao.
His votes were, 2.7 million!
When they saw the results of the ballot, both Barkley and Smith couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh, my God!" Smith and Barkley exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously when they saw the results of the ballot, despite their premonitions.
This vote directly broke the previous record of 2.55 million votes.
In other words, Tang Hao has not only become the rookie ticket king, but also the ticket king with the highest number of votes in history!
It's a miracle!
In fact, it is very interesting that the result of the 2.55 million votes was maintained by Yao Ming before.
Although this record has been broken, it still belongs to the Chinese......
"How the hell did you do that!" Barkley couldn't help but expletive.
The third round of ballots turned out to be more than 1 million more than the second, which is simply illogical.
You must know that those who support a player and are willing to vote have basically voted in the first two rounds, how can so many people choose to vote in the last round?
"I think it's incredible, but ...... This is the result, Tang Hao's presence has made this NBA All-Star Game unique, and I can even foresee an unprecedented grand occasion, Brooklyn, New York (where this year's All-Star was held) is really a ready-made bargain!" Smith sighed.
"Okay, well, here's the result!' Barkley was emotional.
Barkley and Smith didn't understand it at all, in fact, only Chinese fans probably knew, because most people couldn't vote for Tang Hao, which angered Tang Hao's huge fan base, which had top computer experts who directly invented circumvention software, and after it spread, this is the result they saw.
In fact, because of the time, the fans have not had time to vote fully, otherwise the results will only be more exaggerated.
Tang Hao was successfully elected as the All-Star vote king, and he will form the starting backcourt of the Western team with Curry, which is obviously the most exciting thing for fans this season.
After Tang Hao learned the voting results, he immediately thanked the fans who supported him on Weibo and Twitter, and at the same time, he also announced that in addition to participating in the NBA main game, he would also accept the invitation of the league to participate in the three-point contest and the All-Star dunk contest.
This news is undoubtedly earthquake-level, and even compared with the main game, fans are obviously more willing to see Tang Hao's performances in the three-point contest and slam dunk contest.
Especially the Slam Dunk Contest!
You must know that Tang Hao has repeatedly staged wonderful performances in the game, and his amazing bounce power has been described as surpassing the existence of "UFO" Vince Carter!
Fans are looking forward to this game, they are simply hungry.
