Chapter 712: All-Stars Arrive

In fact, as early as after James Harden played a performance, the complaints of Thunder fans about the management of the Thunder team have not stopped:

"Well, do you still think James isn't worth the 6 million?"

"Damn it, you should know, no matter which James it is, you shouldn't underestimate it!"

"It's a scene I've always been looking forward to seeing, and I've always said James Harden shouldn't be abandoned!"

It's just that the Thunder management is also very smart, and they obediently kept silent about the deal after they played the No. 1 position above James Harden.

Do they regret it?

They definitely regret it.

But there is no regret in this world to eat, so just don't talk about it!

……

The time came to the month, and the Knicks got another wave of 10 consecutive wins during this time, and after Yi Jianlian came to this team, I don't know if it was the seventh or eighth time, and the Knicks got a double-digit winning streak.

This also made Barkley joke: "Three years ago, the New York Knicks won 10 consecutive defeats as easy as drinking water, and three years later, the New York Knicks won 10 consecutive games as easy as drinking water!" ”

This makes many fans of the team feel aggrieved, one is a fan of the Bucks, because Yi Jianlian won the first championship in the Bucks, and then went to the New York Knicks, although now the Bucks have been dismantled with the departure of Yi Jianlian, but if the lineup at that time is really retained, the Bucks will definitely be able to maintain the momentum of the championship in the past few years, and the Bucks have not won consecutive championships in their team history!

Last summer, after Yi Jianlian took the New York Knicks to complete a consecutive championship, he almost didn't kill these guys, they should have been the protagonists of the carnival!

However, for Bucks fans, they are not without new hope, Herb sold the Bucks and is now accepting a big consortium.

The factors that made Yi Jianlian leave are gone, and in the eyes of Bucks fans, they are not without hope of welcoming Yi Jianlian back, of course, the specific operation still depends on the management of the Bucks, but in their opinion, at least it is more promising than in the past few years.

And in the latest game between the Bucks and the New York Knicks, Yi Jianlian didn't keep his mouth shut when he mentioned the Bucks again, but said two words rarely, although it was just a few words, but in the eyes of Bucks fans, this is a signal, a signal that they may be able to welcome Yi Jianlian back.

There is also a group of uncomfortable fans are Lakers fans, the Lakers formed F4 this summer, originally high-spirited, aiming for the championship, but as a result, the championship now seems to be hopeless, not only the championship is hopeless, and even they want to hit the playoffs There are some difficulties.

It's hard to imagine that a team with Howard, Nash, Kobe, and Gasol can't even make the playoffs!

Did you really answer that sentence?

"Gathering is a lump of soaring, scattering is full of stars"?

In short, looking at the New York Knicks winning one after another this year, Lakers fans are very unwilling, and they are also making big bets, why is the gap so big?

……

Yi Jianlian's popularity is recognized in this league, and now the whole of New York is canvassing for him, which also makes him the first, second, third and even final vote king without suspense.

Yi Jianlian's final vote was 4.78 million, although it did not break the previous record, but this vote is also the top three among the previous all-star vote kings, second only to the two historical records broken by Yi Jianlian himself.

It is also the All-Star voting record this time, which makes Yi Jianlian win the top three votes with the most votes on the NBA All-Star Weekend, although this is inseparable from the increasingly developed network in this era, but again, this is also a symbol of Yi Jianlian's popularity!

The All-Star starting lineup in the East and West was also announced, and Harden was not selected in the end on the Eastern side, of course, this is also normal, James Harden has a good momentum this season, and the data has improved quickly, but it is still a little less than becoming an All-Star player.

After all, although Derrick Rose soared in 10 years, he had precipitated two years before, and through these two years of growth, he had the subsequent soaring.

Although James Harden has also played for the Thunder for three years, for him, it is only the first year to become the core, and in those three years, it is called "Thunder Three Less", but James Harden's limelight is not as good as those two guys, which also makes his own popularity not accumulated.

Of course, the more important reason is that James Harden's overall style of play is not gorgeous, especially compared with the All-Star backcourt in the East, which is a bit worse.

However, on the other hand, James Harden's style of play is undoubtedly smarter, and he is more durable.

In the West, Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant secured their starting positions.

Leaving New Orleans, Chris Paul's popularity really doesn't have to worry about it.

Kevin Durant was also selected as an All-Star starter again, which also made the first player in Thunder history to enter the All-Star starter in a row.

The center in the West was taken away by Howard, and this guy's popularity has also increased since he came to Los Angeles, and although the team's record is not good, he has no problem being selected as an All-Star starter.

The All-Star starting center position on the Eastern Conference side was taken by Kevin Garnett.

Of course, the reason why Garnett was given this starter is also very simple, Garnett's current form has dropped significantly, and it is certain that he will decline further this summer, which is likely to be the last All-Star trip of his career.

That's why he was put in the center position, and with Howard's departure, he managed to get that position as well.

It is also worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian also took the initiative to participate in this All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge!

Yi Jianlian, who has already won the three-point king and dunk king, has been asked by many fans to participate in the skills game last year, but at that time he wanted to save this opportunity for this New York All-Star Game, after all, if he won the championship, then he would not need to participate in the same event again.

Just in case, he put this opportunity on this year.

If he doesn't win this year, he'll have to do it again next year!

It is also because Yi Jianlian participated in this project that this popular challenge without the three-point game and slam dunk competition has become very topical!
