This year's NBA main game voting, the voting at the center position in the West is very intense.

Olajuwon and David Robinson are the strongest and have plenty of neutral fans and the support of their respective fans.

Mutombo, backed by the big market of Los Angeles, plus an average of nearly 20+10+5 per game in the season.

With the blessing of Lin Han's fans, the momentum in voting is really not much worse than Olajuwon and David Robinson for a while.

And Wang Zhizhi, most of the votes from overseas voted for Wang Zhizhi!

Because of Lin Han's rise in recent seasons, the number of NBA fans in China can be described as explosive.

In addition, Adidas does activities in various Chinese cities in China, as long as you have visited Adidas stores, you can get a free opportunity to send international mail.

Of course, it is not possible to buy tickets directly with money, and Adidas is not stupid.

Just send stamps, and Chinese fans don't have to worry about who they will vote for in the All-Star Game.

Under Adidas's operation, in the final round of this year's All-Star voting, Wang Zhizhi not only surpassed Olajuwon and David Robinson.

And the number of votes is not low!

In the final voting results, Wang Zhizhi was more than 1.4 million and Olajuwon was more than 1.2 million.

Wang Zhizhi dumped Olajuwon with more than 200,000 votes.

In one fell swoop, he trampled the center who is now almost the first in the league.

Lin Han heard from Sandrine that Adidas has sent more than 10 million free shipping opportunities in China!

During the All-Star Poll, CCAV and Adidas collaborated.

The CCAV teaches fans how to vote, while Adidas pays.

Lin Han did not have a Chinese fan vote, and he did not have any problems starting in the NBA.

Therefore, Adidas is really just trying to throw Wang Zhizhi into the All-Star starter.

For this, they spent at least tens of millions of dollars on postage.

The wealth is staggering.

In order to fully occupy the Chinese market, Wang Zhizhi is Adidas' spare tire outside of Lin Han.

If he can make it to the All-Star, it will be of strategic importance to Adidas.

Europe is Adidas' stronghold, China is completely occupied by Adidas, and Nike is left with only a remnant of the United States.

According to Sandrine, as long as Kobe Bryant's generation grows up, Nike will wait for it to be finished.

The United States, which will also belong to Adidas!

I have to say that the Adidas group of high-level executives are still working hard this time just like when they signed him.

And what about David Stern, he looks like he's fighting harder than these Adidas executives.

There are more than 10 million voting emails in China alone, but this year's NBA All-Star vote king Lin Han actually only has just 4.8 million votes.

How many votes from China have to be cut?

The vote from China really struggled David Stern.

He is now exploring the Chinese market, and the NBA's live broadcasts to the CCAV are almost always given away for free.

He's very good for China right now, and he can't do things that make Chinese fans hate.

Ticket cuts really can't be cut.

In addition, the number of mailings sent out by Adidas is counted.

More than 10 million times were sent, and you cut it for me, leaving only 100,000 votes, and Adidas will definitely not be relenting.

At that time, as soon as Adidas mobilizes the masses in China, the favorability of the NBA will decline.

In the end, David Stern had no choice but to let Wang Zhizhi enter the starter.

However, Wang Zhizhi's votes are going to be cut to the point where the competition looks fierce, and Olajuwon has no chance of winning.

As long as Wang Zhizhi is in the starting lineup, it doesn't matter if Adidas knows that he has cut millions of votes.

Anyway, I went in.

And Olajuwon and the rest of the Western center will not be annoyed by the tight difference and can't swallow this breath.

Or the difference in votes is too big, and he feels humiliated and refuses to participate in the All-Star.

David Stern is really sad for this year's All-Star.

However, he still underestimated the attention of the American media to this matter.

Olajuwon and David Robinson did reluctantly accept the result because of David Stern's operation.

China's population of 1.2 billion people, the all-star ratio is the population.

No matter how unwilling you are, if you lose, you will lose, and you will lose 200,000 votes, which is not a miserable loss.

The U.S. media doesn't see Olajuwon and David Robinson as much as they do.

It should be said that these American media, who took money from Nike to stir up trouble, don't care so much.

Wang Zhizhi's performance this season is not to mention the No. 1 center in the West, but also the No. 1 center in the rookie.

Such a performance overwhelmed the three league-top six centers who averaged 20+10 per game this season?

A center who averages 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game is a starter for an All-Star in this era of centers, which of course makes people have a lot to say.

The starters of the All-Star West center were Olajuwon, David Robinson, Abdul-Jabbar, Wharton, and Chamberlain.

Throwing Wang Zhizhi into the middle of Olajuwon, David Robinson, Abdul-Jabbar, Wharton and Chamberlain, no matter how you look at it, it will make people feel abrupt, right?

These American media really have nothing to do but scold and shout.

That's the rule of the NBA All-Star Game, if you have more votes than you, the seat has to be someone else's.

If you have the ability, you will come to check the ticket.

Not to mention 1.4 million votes, 3.4 million votes!

Ma Jian, the Chinese player who worked as a water cooler manager in the Jazz, actually had more votes than Ma Long!

Ma Long is the most hated player in China.

Most of the votes of Chinese fans in the forward position were poured into Ma Jian, just to humiliate Ma Long.

Ma Jian's all-star actually got more votes than Wang Zhizhi.

It was David Stern's decision to include Ma Jian as an All-Star candidate this year.

In order to show goodwill towards China.

Ma Jian's strength is simply not enough.

And his decision almost caused an even bigger storm

Do you really want Ma Jian to have more votes than Ma Long, with Ma Long's cautious character, he didn't just explode on the spot?

Fortunately, Ma Jian has no backstage, and his millions of votes have directly turned into hundreds of thousands of votes.

It's just that, even so, it also made the star players of the league see the strength of the Chinese market.

The NCAV's NBA TV show, the NBA frontline, became the most popular program in the NBA in one fell swoop.

February 18 this year is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to tradition, the front line is to interview NBA stars to greet Chinese fans.

In previous years, these NBA stars have been quite reserved.

This year, the front-line film crew is the kind of unimpeded to any team!

Not only is it unimpeded, but the smiles on the faces of these big black men can be laughed when they record New Year's greetings.

They also don't speak fluent English or broken Chinese.

These big black guys now understand that as long as the NBA All-Star rules are not changed, it is definitely the most correct to please Chinese fans.

That's a horrific turnout.

Not to mention Wang Zhizhi's pressure on Olajuwon and David Robinson, let's talk about the Timberwolves' rookie Kevin Garnett.

This regular at the forefront of the NBA has fans in China second only to Lin Han Jordan and Wang Zhizhi.

He has the second All-Star vote in the West this year and the first forward vote!

The total number of votes is even second only to Lin Han, Jordan, and above Hardaway and Grant Hill!

Garnett's popularity in the United States is also good, but everyone is mixed with the United States, can you still know who is more popular in the United States?

Garnett's popularity in the United States is not on the same level as Hardaway and Hill!

It is because of the Chinese fans that he has beaten Barkley, Kemp, and Malone to become the first forward in the West.

This year's All-Star Game vote, because of the effect of Adidas's tens of millions of dollars, makes this year's All-Star Game full of Chinese elements.

At the same time, it is also full of Laker elements.

This year's All-Star Western starters, the center is Wang Zhizhi, the forwards are Garnett and Barkley, and the guards are Lin Han and Joe Dumas.

Joe Dumas had more than 500,000 more votes than Drexler and Kidd.

He became an All-Star starter for the second time in his career.

The last time Joe Dumas was an All-Star starter was in the '90-91 season.

He was the third guard in the East that year and didn't have as many votes as Jordan and teammate Isaiah Thomas.

However, due to Isaiah Thomas's injury, he replaced Isaiah Thomas as an All-Star starting guard.

So, this was his first All-Star start in the true sense of the word.

Of the five starters in the West, the Lakers accounted for two.

The Lakers' other starters, Mutombo is the fourth center in the West, Rodman is the fourth forward in the West, and Eddie Jones is the sixth forward in the West.

The votes were very high.

In terms of the Lakers' performance so far this season, except for Eddie Jones, it is difficult to enter the All-Star because of seniority and statistics.

Both Mutombo and Rodman have a chance to make the All-Star Game as substitutes.

This year's Western All-Stars can be described as turbulent and full of chicken feathers.

Compared to the west, the east side is much smoother.

The starting center, there is no suspense O'Neal, the starting forward, there is no suspense, Grant Hill and Pippen, and the starting guards are Jordan and Hardaway.

On February 7, 1996, the Lakers defeated the Nets at home, ending all games before the All-Star season with a 46-1 record.

That's the Lakers' regular season record before the All-Star break this season.

This is the best regular season record in NBA history before the All-Star break!

Prior to that day, the bench players for this year's San Antonio All-Star Game were also voted on by the league's coaches.

There are seven All-Star benches each year.

The competition is no worse than the starting line-up.

Especially in the west, because Wang Zhizhi snatched a starting spot.

The remaining seven spots became even more intense.

Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Malone took three.

The last four were taken by Kemp, Payton and Mutombo, as well as Rodman.

Kemp and Payton are because they beat the Bulls and Lakers in quick succession, and these two are now extremely popular among NBA coaches!

And Mutombo and Rodman, these two people have to have qualifications, and they have to have data.

Coupled with the best winning streak in history now set with the Lakers, it's a bonus to have them in the All-Star ranks.

Finally, in the West, All-Star regulars like Drexler and Stockton didn't make it to the All-Star program.

Compared with the misery in the West, the All-Star bench in the East is still much better.

Ewing, Mourning, Miller they were selected.

Webber was not in the starting line-up or on the bench due to injury.

"Lin, you teach me to learn Chinese, I also want to taste the taste of All-Star starters"

On the plane from Los Angeles to San Antonio, Rodman pestered Lin Han to teach him Chinese.

It should be said that recently, as long as there is time, Rodman has been pestering Lin Han to let him teach Chinese.

Joe Dumas became the starting starter of the Western Conference All-Star, which made Rodman quite eye-catching.

Speaking of which, Rodman is in the NBA, and the personal honors he can get are considered to be at the top, and some honors cannot be won no matter what.

The only regret is that there has never been an All-Star starter.

With Rodman's defensive style, it's impossible for him to start as an All-Star.

This honor is also an impossible honor for him.

But this year's All-Star vote gave Rodman a little bit of an idea.

Jo Dumas is at the forefront of participating in the NBA and can already communicate simply in Chinese.

He wasn't as smart as Joe Dumas and was learning Chinese in the offseason before coming to the Lakers.

But even if he is not so smart, he can start studying now, and next year, he can speak Chinese on the front line to canvass for himself, right?

Su skirt said that Chinese fans love the way foreigners speak Chinese.

NBA players usually spend more time with their teammates than with their wives, so who is Lin Han looking for!

Battle is now teaching other Lakers role players to speak Chinese.

"Dennis, go, go over there, Joe D's"

Faced with Rodman's entanglement, Lin Han directly pushed Rodman to Joe Dumas.

Speaking Chinese he is better than Jo Dumas, but teaching Chinese, Jo Dumas is still good.

How can a foreigner learn Chinese well, how could he, as a person who has spoken Chinese since childhood, know.

Jo Dumas is different.

It's just that Rodman is really not good at this, and he is afraid of being embarrassed in front of Eddie Jones and other players who are learning Chinese with Joe Dumas.

I want to learn from him secretly.

If he really took Rodman as a student, Jo Dumas would be so embarrassed by then.

Even if Jo Dumas taught well, Eddie Jones and Mutombo would have come to him.

Could it be that Joe Dumas finally went to steal Battle's job and teach the Chinese to those substitute players?

Because of this year's All-Star vote, the entire NBA is popular in Chinese.

The Lakers are even worse.

Moreover, this popularity within the Lakers team is definitely a positive help for the team.

The relationship has become more intimate.

The players' self-confidence has also improved a lot.

Wang Zhizhi can be an All-Star, and Ma Jian can be ranked eighth among Western Forwards, why can't they?!

As long as they can perform well in the Lakers, and they know a little Chinese, backed by Lin Han and China, their road to the All-Star is very smooth!

"Am I changing the culture of the NBA?"

Looking at the Lakers players studying Chinese together on the plane, Lin Han thought with a smile.

That doesn't seem like a bad thing either.
