Chapter 331: All-Star Starting Lineup Announced (Plus Update)

While the debate continues, the Bucks continue their regular season schedule.

After a sweet four-game three-game home game, the Bucks are about to have a five-game road streak, and in the last two games of the five-game road run, they have to go through a back-to-back, and it can be said that the schedule is not friendly.

Liu Yifei also returned to China before Yi Jianlian went to the away game, and this time she came to Milwaukee and she unknowingly stayed here for two weeks, even if it was a vacation, it was time to take care of herself and go back to work. Well...... This is Sister Mei's words, Liu Yifei finally agreed, of course, the main reason is that Yi Jianlian is about to play consecutive away games, and the 5 consecutive away games will have to leave for at least 8 days, and she is too bored to stay here in Milwaukee.

Liu Yifei and the others left in the middle of the night, and it was almost noon when they returned to China, so they avoided the trouble of jet lag.

Yi Jianlian naturally went to see her off, before leaving, Liu Yifei unexpectedly took the initiative to hug Yi Jianlian, hugged it very tightly, and hugged it for a long time, and then walked away without looking back, the pace was much faster than usual, thinking about it, her face was already red!

This is already a very bold move for Liu Yifei.

The Bucks won the first three games of their five-game road streak, but unfortunately the last two games were back-to-back, and the Bucks suffered two consecutive defeats because of consecutive road trips.

During this period, the results of the second round of all-star starting voting were announced, and Yi Jianlian continued to lead the all-star starters in the east and west with 940,000 votes.

The expected good news has brought some excitement to Milwaukee fans, and as things stand, Milwaukee is finally going to have a superstar who can win two consecutive All-Star Weekend tickets!

Unfortunately, the good news didn't last long.

The Bucks, who continued on the road after a two-day break, actually lost again at home, suffering a three-game losing streak for the first time this season.

"Yi, what do you think is happening to the Bucks right now? What caused you to suffer three consecutive defeats? ”

"Well, has there ever been a team in the league that has suffered three consecutive defeats?"

"What?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there's not a team in the league that hasn't had a three-game losing streak, we're just one of many teams in the league who have lost three in a row, it's not a big deal, every team is going to be in an inexplicable slump at some point during the season, and as long as we can maintain our good chemistry, I think we'll be back to winning again soon, maybe in the next game!"

Yi Jianlian's domineering speech made Milwaukee fans no longer worry about whether there was a problem with the team, and in the next game after three consecutive defeats, in the Bucks' away challenge to the Kings, Yi Jianlian scored 43 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, defeating the Kings by himself, and also ending the Bucks' losing streak and fulfilling what he said in an interview two days ago.

After that, the Bucks really returned to their normal winning rhythm, and the rest of the games in January were 5-1, and the loss was the last game in January. That is to say, after a three-game losing streak, the Bucks immediately played a wave of six consecutive wins, and only lost one game at the end of the month.

During this period, Yi Jianlian won the long-lost Player of the Week.

Well, for a whole month, he only got this once.

However, it was not LeBron James who won the most weekly best times in January, but Dwyane Wade, who was almost forgotten by the league and "only 5cm shorter than God" guy suddenly broke out, and played a performance that was only possible in his peak season in January, dragging the whole team to the eighth place in the East.

And he averaged 35.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.6 steals per game throughout January.

With this performance, he locked in the Player of the Month award for January.

This hurts LeBron because he hasn't won the Player of the Month award so far this season - the November and December Player of the Month awards were taken by Yi Jianlian!

This is the first time since '07 that such a situation has occurred.

However, although Yi Jianlian did not win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award in January, he continued to lead the voting in the third and fourth rounds of the All-Star starting voting, and finally he became the 2010 All-Star vote king with 2.98 million votes.

This time, the number of votes is naturally not as good as the historical record he set last season, but compared to the ticket kings of previous years, this number of votes is still far ahead.

It also officially made him the first player in Milwaukee history to win back-to-back All-Star votes.

The 2010 All-Star starters were also announced after four rounds of voting.

East: Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Yi Jianlian, Howard.

West: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Cameron Anthony, Tim Duncan, Amare Stadmey.

The entire starting lineup has not changed from last year, except for Chris Paul in the West, who was replaced by Steve Nash, everyone else is the old face of the last All-Star starter.

I have to sigh about Allen Iverson, this guy has only played 3 games so far, but he is still voted by fans as an All-Star starter in the East.

Sometimes I have to admit that spiritual idols are indeed more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than ordinary football stars!

Immediately after that, the league officials announced the selection list for the slam dunk contest, as well as the skill contest and the three-point shooting contest.

Of the three major events this year, the most anticipated by fans is naturally the list of three-point shooting contests.

Many people have been talking about it since the beginning of December last year.

"Daquin Cook, Paul Pierce, Stephen Curry, Channing Fry, Yi Jianlian, Kevin Durant!"

In the end, the list released by the league really didn't disappoint the fans.

Although it is not the legendary "big man three-point shooting game", the lineup is indeed very luxurious.

Except for defending champion Cook, who is a little less famous, the rest of the players are players who are already well-known in the league at the moment.

For example, Stephen Curry, who is in his rookie season this year, has hit 110 three-pointers, ranking seventh in the league's total three-point shooting, worthy of his title of "Little Ray Allen"; Not to mention Paul Pierce, who locked the win with a three-point shot after staging "The Return of the King" in '08, and his ability to shoot three-pointers at critical moments is undoubted; Channingfrye has always been a well-known high battery in the league, especially this season, shooting a career-high 2.4 three-pointers per game, while leading the league in 46.9% three-point shooting.

The final two inductees were undoubtedly the most exciting for the fans, as the two guys they really wanted to see in the three-point shooting contest actually made the cut.

He is 2.11 meters tall but has the skills of a small forward with the dribbling skills.

Kevin Durant and Yi Jianlian, two epoch-making small forwards, are going to battle it out in the three-point shooting contest!
