First round of voting, 1.01 million ......

There has never been anything like this in the history of the NBA, and even Howard, who won the all-time vote in 2009, only had about 700,000 votes in the first round.

For comparison, the total number of votes James received in the All-Star voting last season was only 1.41 million.

And Link received 1.01 million votes in the first round alone!

Stephen. Curry was resistant to this result, and he thought that with his super popularity this season, he could compete for the top vote.

However, the huge gap between Link and the others made Curry abandon this goal in the first round.

I really can't fight, it's so perverted!

Many All-Star players don't get 1 million votes by the end of voting, and Link has the same number of votes as Chamberlain's 20,000 women.

You can only admire, you can't surpass.

"It's really yours, I got 1.01 million in the first round, hahahaha. If you send a canvassing video, it is estimated that it can rush to 1.1 million! "Jeff. Austin smiled from ear to ear on the phone.

No wonder Link was indifferent to Curry and James' canvassing offensive, it turned out that he had expected himself to be far ahead!

But in reality, Link was surprised by the number of votes he received.

1.01 million, this is indeed a bit exaggerated, especially when Link was scolded in three days.

But in fact, what famous superstar doesn't get scolded? ESPN also wrote some articles about Black Kobe Bryant in three days, and James was even scolded in various ways, even Jordan.

However, even Jordan himself back then would also be attacked.

Link's high number of votes proves the saying, "In the world of competitive sports, as many people love you, there are as many people hate you." ”

Last season's history-making 74 wins, combined with Bryant's first consecutive championship, sent Link's popularity soaring.

On the premise that he was already the ticket king last season, Link's vote count this season will naturally become quite exaggerated.

"Don't get too excited, Jeff. I can already imagine that the media will say that I got so many votes because of the large number of Chinese fans. Link pouted.

After so many years in the NBA, he has summed up a truth - no matter how well you play, there will always be someone who will come out and find a thorn.

But in fact, Link's vote explosion has an impact that goes far beyond being hacked......

※※※

On December 19, the NBA regular season resumed.

The Memphis Grizzlies host the Chicago Bulls, who are currently 16-9.

The Bulls are considered a big opponent for the Cavaliers in the East this year. With George yet to return, the Bulls were even considered the Cavaliers' only opponent in the East at one point.

The expectations for the Bulls come from their iron-clad style and excellent record last season.

The Bulls' journey last season was full of twists and turns, and the team started the new season with confidence. However, Rose, the former MVP point guard, only played 10 games and was once again declared to be reimbursed before he could shake off the rust on his body.

After Rose was injured again, the Bulls' morale suffered a heavy blow for a while, and they lost to the Clippers by 39 points the next day, and only got an 8-13 record in the next month and a half.

Everyone thought that the bull was going to be finished, and people even joked that the bull was going to start turning around the front of the car to swing badly.

However, Thibodeau led the gritty Bulls all the way to fourth place in the East.

Although the Bulls were eventually eliminated by the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs, it is already a remarkable achievement to go from being a "quasi-bad" team to making the playoffs.

Of course, people's greatest confidence in the Bulls comes from Derek. Ross!

The Bulls still won 48 games last season without Rose. This year, they have retained a full core team on the defensive end, and with a top scorer like Rose, it stands to reason that they will have no problem staying in the second place in the East.

But now, a month and a half after the start of the new season, the Bulls are not as expected as they were at the beginning of the season.

Their 16-9 record seems pretty good, but Derek. Rose's form isn't as good as one might expect.

Rose is averaging just 16.8 points per game this season, shooting just over 40 percent from the field to just 40.5 percent.

Whether it's efficiency or scoring stats, Rose is nowhere near the level of an MVP.

What's more, Ross is not back to 100% health now.

Rose has continued to be on and off this season, such as this one, where Rose will miss due to knee discomfort.

Without the Ross vs Link drama, this game actually doesn't have much to watch.

There is indeed a gap in hard power between the two sides, and it is not surprising that Thibodeau's Bulls will be powerless to fight back.

However, this game, which was originally uninteresting, has high ratings today.

The Federal Express Arena was even more occupied, with all 18,300 seats full.

All of this is due to one thing – in this game, Link will have a good chance of tying Chamberlain's record of nine consecutive games with a triple-double!

"Look at the atmosphere and look at the fans cheering for Link! I believe that this kind of enthusiasm can be felt even through the TV screen! If Link does hit another triple-double, then it's going to be a great milestone night! ”

Hubi. Brown's first words after the live broadcast began, focused on Link.

The Chicago Bulls seem to have been a supporting actor from the start, and it seems as if their wins and losses don't matter at all.

Before the start of the game, when the two sides were warming up, they saw Jimmy practicing shooting next to him. Butler, Link is a mixed bag.

If the Grizzlies hadn't intercepted Butler in advance, then he would have had to fight Butler in this game, and the Grizzlies wouldn't have been so easy.

But now, they are teammates.

As soon as the game started, the Bulls showed their tenacious style.

Although the lineup on paper is not as strong as the Grizzlies, the Bulls dare to fight and are not afraid of confrontation on the defensive end.

However, Dunleavy is no match for Link on the defensive end, and although the Bulls work hard, as Maverick coach Carlisle once said, "You can't beat a player like Link with hard work alone." ”

At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies led by 12 points, 56-44. Link's 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists are getting closer and closer to the all-time No. 1 record.

Just when people thought that the bull was going to be pressed to the ground like this, the Spanish first-year rookie Nicolas. Mirotic stepped up from the bench.

Mirotic was drafted in 2011 but didn't make it to the NBA from the Spanish league until this year.

No one thought Mirotic would be a threat, and as a result, Mirotic shot 6-of-6 from three-point range in the second half, scoring a career-high 27 points!

6-of-6 from three-point range, God knows how long Mirotic has been saving up character to play like this.

Under normal circumstances, if a player can shoot 6-of-6 from beyond the three-point line in a game, he will most likely win the game and he will completely dominate the game today.

It's a pity that Mirotic still hasn't broken the law that "only Grizzlies can create magic in Memphis".

After Mirotic's three-point explosion, Link stepped up his offensive and killed Dunleavy without leaving a single piece of armor.

In the end, Thibodeau had to opt for shrinkage and wrapping. But in this way, Link's assist flew again.

No way, who made the Grizzlies even shoot at Gasol's No. 5 position?

In the end, relying on Link's 33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Mirotic's 6 three-pointers were reduced to nothing.

If the Bulls had stopped resisting early in this game, Link's triple-double record might not have been as great.

But Mirotic's desperate resistance made Link instead.

In the moments at the end of the game, it wasn't the score that people cared about, but Link's stats.

"The ninth, the ninth in a row! Congratulations to Link, who became only the second player in NBA history to record a triple-double in nine consecutive games! He's now with Wirther. Chamberlain became the player with the most triple-doubles in a row! Mirotic was good enough today, but alas, he ran into a historic opponent! ”

Hubi. Bryn's roar was quickly drowned out by the cheers of the fans, and Link strode onto the technical table to enjoy the fans' admiration.

Behind him, Mirotic walked silently and disillusionedly.

Wasn't Mirotic good enough? Of course not.

But if you lose the game, it's useless to take any data.

The whole of Memphis rejoiced, and the whole world was shocked.

But at the same time, outside of jubilant Memphis, the NBA headquarters issued a vote to change the league's existing rules.

Obviously, they don't want to see Link's dominance in the All-Star voting continue.

They don't want China's huge fan base to undermine the "fairness" of the All-Star vote......
