Chapter 781: The Spring Breeze is Triumphant and the Heat of Collapse!
On January 2, 2009, the league announced that Yees and O'Neal were selected as the best players in the East and West last month, respectively, and the league also announced the results of the second round of voting for the NBA All-Stars.
When the league announced the results of the first round of All-Star voting almost a month ago, the results were already somewhat incredible.
The last time the league announced the results of the All-Star poll, the Big Five Heat became the biggest losers in this vote.
In the last vote, James ranked fourth at the forward position, Wade ranked third at the guard position, and the two core players of the Heat team can only be ranked like this in the All-Star vote, not to mention Ben Gordon, Chris Bosh and Chandler.
It can be said that the five superstars of the Heat who have done everything to form a giant team know that when they form this crazy Big Five lineup, they have nothing to do with such a vote.
They also know that before they win the championship, many championships, and completely whitewash, their popularity will end here.
This is something that the Heat players can expect.
So as All-Star starters in the past, Wade and James themselves were surprised by their hips in the voting this year, but they actually accepted it.
Because the whole world hates them, because neutral fans and spectators all over the world don't have a good opinion of them.
On the other hand, because the whole world likes them, because neutral fans around the world are full of affection for them, the Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics are the biggest winners.
It's just that although many Heat supporters feel that the Heat will indeed fall into the darkness before whitewashing, they really didn't expect the darkness to be so bleak!
In the results of the new All-Star Poll released by the league, the people who lost badly last time became more miserable, and the winners of the last time won more thoroughly this time.
In the latest All-Star voting results, the number one center in the East is still O'Neal, who received a total of more than 3.5 million votes, which is 1.5 million votes higher than Dwight Howard, the second center in the East!
It can be said that in the All-Star voting that ended at the end of January, O'Neal, who is now leading the Cavaliers to first place in the East, and O'Neal, who is still at the top of the official MVP rankings, has firmly pocketed the starting position.
Last season, after Howard took away O'Neal's starting center position, many people said that the current league has entered the era of one emperor, one emperor and four heavenly kings in the center position, but no one thought that the center that now dominates the league is still the shark in the east and the Great Wall in the west.
As for the Four Heavenly Kings of One Emperor and One Emperor, the Great Emperor Auden still looks like this, and the Four Heavenly Kings led by the Beast Emperor Howard and Milicic Bynum are not so good-looking.
The other of the Four Kings, Tyson Chandler, who came to the Heat this season, is not even as good as Patrick Patterson, the center of the Boston Celtics, in this year's All-Star vote!
Many people know that O'Neal, who has performed so well this season, has a huge advantage in the All-Star vote, and although Howard has been learning from O'Neal, he is still very young.
It's just that these people really didn't expect O'Neal's dominance to be so strong this season.
And in the forward position, the Cavaliers, who are now counterattacking the Heat and the Celtics to take the first place in the East, are still the big winners.
In the last time the poll rankings were announced, Garnett was the first forward in the East, but now, the first forward in the East has been replaced by David Lee, who can now average 20.1 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
David Lee has now fought back against Garnett, who averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season with the Celtics.
The current votes of the two are more than 2.3 million votes for David Lee and 2 million votes for Kevin Garnett, and the votes between David Lee and Kevin Garnett seem to be quite different, which shows how fast David Lee's counterattack has been this month.
It can only be said that in the Cavaliers, following O'Neal's side, the exposure is too high, and David Lee's supersonic background makes him popular among Asians and yellows, plus his white identity, this Cavaliers' current starting power forward is like a chosen one in the United States in the call and environment of wanting a starting white All-Star.
In addition to David Lee's counterattack on Garnett in the forward position in the East, the Cavaliers' small forward former Nets big boss Richard Jefferson also counterattacked the original third Pierce votes, and the votes also reached more than 1.81 million votes, which is not so far away from Garnett's votes, and now there is still a full month before the end of the All-Star vote, in this month's time, no one knows what the final result will be.
And on the day the league's latest voting results came out, O'Neal, the boss of the Cavaliers, said it directly in an interview.
"Now the Cavaliers have only one goal, to make all the All-Stars!"
"We're going to show the world who the real Big Five are!"
O'Neill was very arrogant in an interview, and anyone with a normal IQ knew who he was mocking.
And hearing O'Neill's speech, watching the lively audience is quite excited, this kind of plot is really great.
James abandoned the Cavaliers, feeling that the Cavaliers had no future, went to the more promising Heat, and formed the Big Five, which was unprecedented in NBA history.
Suppose that the Cavaliers, who were abandoned by James, not only counterattacked the Heat in terms of record, but also counterattacked the Heat in the All-Star, and finally there were really five players entering the All-Star, so how embarrassing should James and the Heat be?
This kind of plot is great, isn't it?
After O'Neal shouted such a slogan at a very timely time, many people who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement were probably ready to go crazy and vote for the Cavaliers' five starters.
The Cavaliers are now in first place in the East and first in the league.
The team's five starters, O'Neal, David Lee, Richard Jefferson, Daniel Gibson, and Deron Williams, all five of them have averaged more than 20 points per game, which is the first time in the history of the league that a team has five players averaging more than 20 points per game, and it can be said that these five people are fully qualified to be selected as All-Stars.
In such a situation, if the world's audience really frantically poured votes for the five players of the Cavaliers in order to watch the excitement, it would really be no problem at all, and there would not even be any psychological pressure at all!
Chinese fans have no psychological pressure to vote for Sun Yue, and other fans have no pressure to vote for the Cavaliers' five starters.
In fact, I'm afraid that many viewers have been doing this before.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that in the latest All-Star vote, although the top two guards in the East are Sun Yue and Arenas, the third guard in the East has changed from Wade to Deron Williams.
As for Wade, the guard who was originally third in the East, he was successively surpassed by Deron Williams, Rose and Iverson and retreated to the sixth position in the East.
Wade finished sixth in the East, but there was no cliff-like decline.
James is off a cliff in the forward position, David Lee, Garnett, Richard Jefferson, Pierce ...... Even James is now ranked worse than the Heat player Chris Bosh in ninth place!
A player who was in high spirits to whitewash himself during the Christmas war, and after the Christmas war, directly encountered such a tragic situation, which was actually foreshadowed for a long time.
Before the Christmas game, no matter how dark James was, Miami fans supported James.
But after the Christmas game, even Miami fans are spitting on James.
A player who is for the position of the team boss and a player who is in possession of the team actually stabbed his teammates and the team for his own selfish sake in such a major game.
This kind of behavior is simply a good thing to go to hell!
The five minutes James played against Yes in the fourth quarter of the Christmas game were called the "five minutes of shame" and "five minutes of hell" by Miami Heat fans!
Even ESPN, which has always been very, very fond of making trouble, conducted an interview with Miami and Florida fans after the Christmas game, interviewing fans in Florida and Miami, who is your most hated player, LeBron James got 90% of the votes!
It's rare in the history of the NBA for fans in a place to hate and hate a player on their own team so much.
After the Christmas game, James could be said to have heard the huge boos of the Miami fans as he got the ball as he played at every game.
Even many media learned from inside the Heat that James and Wade haven't talked much after the Christmas game.
What's more, the media broke the news that James and Wade didn't even communicate.
The performance of James in the Seattle SuperSonics and the Heat's Christmas game is watched by the whole world, and it is not too much for anyone to put themselves in Wade's role and get an answer from James.
But according to the inside information obtained by these reporters, James did not give any explanation, not only did he not take the initiative, but even Wade personally asked him for an explanation, James did not say anything, looking like nothing else except for the game is training, except for training is the game.
So, there have been a lot of coconut powder media lately saying that Yes only took one game to defeat the most powerful Big Five team in history.
With the current state of the Heat, there's nothing wrong with that.
Because after the end of the Christmas war, the Heat lost two games in a row to the Cavaliers, one game to the Bulls, one to the Magic, and after the Christmas war, the Heat team has lost four in a row, plus the defeat in the Christmas war, the Heat has lost five in a row.
The Big Five's team suffered five consecutive defeats in the regular season, which is simply unheard of!
If it weren't for the Heat's previous excellent record, the Heat would now be in the top three after a wave of five consecutive losses.
The current Heat team is very bad, how can such a Heat team and such a performance be able to shelter those stars in the team.
Such a team, which is hated by the whole world and is about to collapse, now seems to have become a laughing stock all over the world.
After the second round of voting for the league's All-Stars, the public opinion environment of the Heat, which was already very bad, became even worse.
There is even news that many Heat players have regretted making the decision to join the Heat last summer.
As for who these many Heat players are, I don't know, but I heard that Marbury hasn't been to the team for some time.
The announcement of the results of the second round of the All-Star Voting has made the already lively East even more lively.
And on the western side, the western side is not as lively as the eastern side.
In the center forward position, Yao Ming's first pattern is very stable, but Milicic has been ranked second, and Oden is in the third position.
In the forward position, Yi Jianlian's first position is also very stable, and at the same time, Bowen's position as the second forward is also quite stable.
It can be said that in a month to go, in terms of votes, Bowen has led Beasley, Anthony and Duncan and others by more than 1 million votes, and it can be said that he can become the All-Star starter in the West this year.
This year, the starting positions of Western Conference forwards and centers are solid.
But the guards, in addition to Yes firmly in the first place, now Kobe, Rondo, Roy, Nick Young, and Afflalo have been killed.
In the last vote, Kobe Bryant was second, Roy was third, and Rondo was sixth.
But this time, Rondo directly counterattacked to third!
And what is very incredible is that Kobe Bryant's votes are 2.13 million, Rondo and Roy have 2.12 million votes, and Nick Young and Afflalo's votes have all reached 1.5 million.
This number of votes is very, very incredible, even if Nick Young and Afflaro are excluded, the difference between Kobe Bryant and Rondoroy is difficult to say who will die in the end.
Bryant is now the leader of the No. 1 team in the West, Rondo is now the only player in the league to average a triple-double per game, and Roy is the starting guard for the past two All-Star years.
According to many, the trio could be putting on the craziest competition in NBA All-Star history.
At a time when the world is crazy and shocked by the Cavaliers' strength in the All-Star vote, the Miami Heat, which is now the darkest place in the entire league, is now a dead silence.
The team lost five in a row and lost to the Magic in the first game of the year tonight.
The whole team seems to be on the verge of collapse.
In the locker room, everyone was keeping their heads down, and the two positions in the middle were now empty.
And in the dark passage of the locker room......
"LeBron, are you going to stop talking to me for the rest of your life?!"
The walking corpse figure finally stopped......
