Chapter 813 [Popularity is incomprehensible, and it is invincible]

Guo Xu was elected All-Star vote champion for the sixth consecutive year, and he is also the only All-Star with more than 3 million votes, and no one else can compare to him, because he can attract fans who follow the entertainment industry to vote in the NBA.

Guo Xu was very busy this star weekend, and Nike was going to launch a new generation of boots for him, so he couldn't continue to be idle in the next day of the challenge, and had to represent Team Phoenix in the Shooting Star Contest to promote the new sneakers.

In addition to Guo Xu, Phoenix's lineup also includes two-time WNBA All-Star, 2007 WNBA Finals MVP winner Keppie Bombsett and retired Suns legend Eddie Johnson.

In second place is Garnett, who joined the Celtics, with 2.4 million votes, and Yao Ming is third with 2.2 million votes.

The change in the popularity of stars is the best proof of the success or failure of the NBA, Garnett could only be a substitute in the West last season, and now the Celtics have the first half-way record in the league, and his popularity immediately rebounded, if it weren't for Guo Xu, a BUG figure like him, he could become the league vote king.

On the contrary, Kobe Bryant only received 1.37 million votes, less than half of Guo Xu, the lowest starter in the West, even if he can compete with James for the scoring title this season, the team's record will not attract fans.

What's worse is Iverson, who only has 1 million votes, and his popularity has dropped again and again after joining the Nuggets. Fans think that the "Golden Double Guns" is a joke, you can't win the ball, Anthony's popularity is higher, and now the rookie class of 2003 is on fire.

Western star starters: Guo Xu, Kobe, Anthony, Duncan, Yao Ming.

Seven benches: Billups (Rockets), Paul (Hornets), Joe Johnson (Warriors), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Pau Gasol (Grizzlies), Stoudmire, Roy (Suns).

Iverson didn't make the Western Conference All-Star selection, and he was ranked third among Western Conference guards in the first draft, and the coaches didn't pick him, but brought Billups, who had a better record.

In fact, Iverson has a much higher scoring efficiency than when he joined the Nuggets with the 76ers, and the current true shooting rate of 57% has set a new career high, and the mid-range shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are all career highs. Approaching the age of 33, he played an average of 41.8 minutes per game and scored 26+7, which can be called an iron man, but fans don't buy it, and it is enough for short stars to like Guo Xu.

The Nuggets are likely not to make the playoffs and are currently only ranked 10th in the West, and Anthony became the starter because of the beautiful stats and an advantage in the Western Conference forward selection. The Warriors are ranked 12th in the West at the halfway, and no one has started the quarterback with Kobe, and the statistics of other quarterbacks are not good.

The Jazz are sixth in the West, the Timberwolves are eighth in the West, and neither team has stars selected.

Al Jefferson, Josh Howard, David West, Deron Williams and others all played star stats, but there was no popularity, and the star vote was completely ignored by fans.

Parker, Ginobili, Jason Terry, Randolph and others are not bad, and their records are within the playoffs, but they also failed to be selected and became All-Star pearls.

Roy's selection was arranged by the league, and they still want to pick up all the Suns players and let them break up as soon as possible. It's not enough to just go Marion, the Suns have the first halfway record in the West, second only to the Big Three Celtics.

Suns players have developed the habit of winning, and once they lose, they will concentrate on playing a few good games without the coach saying anything. Once they get serious, it will be difficult for other teams to win, because the Suns have a reasonable lineup, and the core players have been running in for many years and can play tactics perfectly.

Eastern Conference star starters: Nash, Wade, James, Garnett, Dwight Howard.

Seven benches: Pierce, Ray Allen (Celtics), Kidd (Nets), Caron Butler, O'Neal (Pacers), Boozer (Cavaliers), Iguodala (76ers).

The Pacers have unexpectedly played well this year without being favored and are now seventh in the East.

O'Neal played only 30 minutes, averaging 17.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 61% from the field; Butler played 39.2 minutes and averaged 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 46.6% from the field.

The rest of the Eastern Conference interior stats are terrible, and O'Neal deserves to be selected, and it would be a joke to include Rasheed Wallace, who averages 12.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.

With the arrival of many stars in the east, the overall strength of the star Saidong troops has improved, and there have also been many star pearls.

Arenas is out for the season with a serious knee injury, and Larry Hughes is also suffering from a knee injury, missing 6-8 weeks. The only healthy star of the Wizards is Jamison, who cut 21+10 but is lonely, and the Wizards are only in 13th place in the East, and he was dragged down by the record and did not make the selection.

Chris Bosh of the Raptors averaged 22+9 per game and missed the All-Star due to injury.

The Nets have the fifth-best record in the East, and power forward David Lee is averaging a double-double of 14.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, but his defense has been criticized.

Vince Carter was completely abandoned by the fans, with beautiful 21+6+5 data, and the guard star vote turned out to be only fifth after Ray Allen, with 940,000 votes.

Marion performed well in the Magic, but was selectively forgotten by the coaches, and he will not praise him as soon as he leaves the Suns League, and the exposure rate has plummeted, which is simply a conspiracy.

The Hawks' Josh Smith is good at dunking but not popular, and the votes are not as good as the Knicks' parallel champion Bagnani......

The biggest upset was that the Pistons, who were eighth in the East, were not selected, becoming the team with the fastest decline in popularity. Maddy's stats best failed to make the All-Star selection, and after missing out on starting in the East, the coach didn't select him.

His performance left Pistons coach Philip Saunders speechless, averaging 19.7 points, 5 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 36.3 minutes per game while shooting just 38.9 percent from the field, 28.2 percent from three-point range and 68.7 percent from the free throw line. His true shooting percentage is 47.4 percent, which is lower than many players.

Maddy's style of play does not change every game, with large two-point shots accounting for 40.6% of total shots, three-point shots accounting for 23%, and a total of 19.5 shots, making it hard to believe why he dares to take on so many offensive tasks with such a low shooting rate.

He doesn't care who the defender he is facing, he just pulls out the gambling feeling, there is basically no breakthrough, the passing awareness is not bad, and Hamilton can find the running position, which is the only bright spot on his offensive end.

When he was in the Rockets, Yao Ming attracted the center of gravity of the defense, and Maddie could calmly shoot in the face of single defense, but when he arrived at the Pistons, he couldn't block and dismantle, and he would be caught if he wanted to break through.

He and Ben Wallace play blocking and dismantling, and the opponent will 100% let go of Big Ben. He and Rashid play blocking and dismantling, so the question is, which of them is better?

Although Rashid is only a blacksmith with a 43% shooting rate, he is still punctual compared to Maddie.

On the defensive end, Maddie is a traffic-style defense, and after trading Prince, the Pistons' wing is directly finished. Jo Dumas was sprayed by fans because of this, after all, American fans are not as fond of watching picturesque dry plucking as Chinese fans.

If Maddie stays in the Rockets and doesn't leave, it is estimated that there will still be a group of crazy people on the other side of the ocean who say that Maddie, who is dragged down by Yao Ming, will not be able to pass the first round, because he only averaged 43% shooting per game in the peak season of his career! Pull out! Not! Enemy!

In contrast, it is too normal for Garnett to become the king of Eastern votes, and he also relies on jump shots, and Garnett's 48% shooting rate is simply a demon god-like existence.

The Rockets ranked second in the West after trading their own superstar, and owner Alexander breathed a sigh of relief, and he was a little scared.

If he didn't listen to the advice of Nelson Sr. and Morey, and insisted on going his own way, Maddie would really be smashed in his hands, and then they would have to find a way to fool the stupid and wealthy Knicks in order to trade.
