The Nets have found the most suitable rotation lineup for the team, and the team's performance has also stabilized, and in the weak East, the record has risen, chasing the Cavaliers, and steadily pressing the Raptors and Heat.

When the time came to early January, the league announced the results of the second round of voting on the All-Star ballot.

Kobe Bryant is still leading the way, and the advantage has doubled from the first round, and in his retirement season, he has firmly locked up the title of vote king.

Curry and James are already in the second and third rounds, and most of the players are even ranked in the same poll as they were in the first round.

It also includes Yi Jianlian.

With 300,000 votes, he continued to rank third behind the Eastern Conference Forwards over "Zhuangshen" (260,000) and Anthony (250,000), and even took a bigger lead than in the first round.

The performance of the Nets is becoming more and more stable, Yi Jianlian's fourth and fifth positions are swinging like a fish in water, and his data has been further improved compared to before, averaging 18 points and 7 rebounds per game, scoring second only to Delong in the team, and in a team basketball team like the Nets, it is quite eye-catching.

It's also the first time he has a real chance of being an All-Star since the cancellation of the Asia-Pacific ballot.

Tang Tian was also a little looking forward to it.

In his previous life, Yi Jianlian disappeared from the NBA after playing for five seasons, and although he tried after that, he was limited by his strength and finally failed to return to the NBA.

But now because of him, Yi Jianlian is obviously no longer the Yi Jianlian of his previous life, with continuous progress and the blessing of the system, his strength is not bad at all.

In other words, the second starting power forward in the East, a player who averages 18+7 per game, even if he is not called Yi Jianlian, can win many votes.

However, the prejudice of fans against the yellow race still exists, and the current number of votes may be the limit of Chinese and fans who have crossed the wall, and there may be a reappearance of fans calling for votes for their competitors, and no one can say for sure until the final result is in.

During this time, Maddie suffered a wrist injury that was not serious but would be out for a while.

The coaching staff gave Bojan and Jefferson Jr. a few chances each, and Bojan took it.

Tang Tian has a prescient vision and is very targeted to the players' usual training, and Bojan's defense has improved a lot compared to last season's regular season and playoffs, which is also the key to his final seizing opportunities.

His accurate shooting not only satisfied the Nets coaching staff, but also attracted a lot of attention from other teams.

Fast forward to mid-January, and the coalition announced the results of the third round of voting.

As Tang Tian had expected, there were still calls among fans to vote for their competitors, and the biggest of them was naturally Anthony.

Despite the Knicks' poor record, Anthony, as an All-Star regular, has undoubted strength, and his star is much bigger than Yi Jianlian.

Even the votes for "Zhuang Shen" Drummond are increasing, and most fans in the United States still don't want Yi Jianlian to appear in the starting lineup.

However, the final voting results of this round were a big surprise, Yi Jianlian got 400,000 votes, although the gap between Anthony (390,000) and Drummond (370,000) is narrowing, but still ranked third in the Eastern Forward.

It is interesting to note that on Facebook and Twitter, there are also many fans calling for Yi Jianlian to vote, and many of them are New York fans.

This result was surprising, but it also made the final result seem more and more confusing.

Such a small gap is not a gap in the final round, and Yi Jianlian, Anthony and Draymond all have equal opportunities.

The fourth round and final result of the vote will be on January 22, the week after the end of the third round.

Based on the experience of previous years, this is the most uncertain week, with at least a quarter or even a third of fans choosing to vote at this time.

Some spinach sites have even opened the final list of markets, and here in the Eastern Forward, Yi Jianlian's odds are the highest among the three, which has also attracted a large number of fans to bet.

The Nets face the Hawks, Spurs and Hornets this week, all of which are head-to-head games against playoff teams and a big test for the team.

The Eagles lost Carroll, and their strength was damaged, but after Tang Tian's former disciple Bazemore came to the top, the team's strength was not weak.

In the end, the Nets still relied on the balanced performance of the starting bench to win the game 106-97, because Yi Jianlian, who attracted much attention in the All-Star voting results, scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, the highest score on the team.

The next game against the Spurs was a tough battle for the Nets, who overpowered the Nets from the opening point and eventually maintained their advantage until the end, winning the game 98-91.

Although he lost, Yi Jianlian did not fall behind in the confrontation with All-Star forward Aldridge, and finally scored 18 points and 8 rebounds on 7-of-14 shooting.

The Charlotte Hornets are not the Hornets led by Paul before, but just changed their name from the Bobcats last season.

It is the weaker of the Nets' three opponents, but they have improved significantly this season in team basketball under Clifford, starting Walker and Batum, and Jeremy Lin and El Jefferson on the bench, all played very eye-catching performances, and the team's strength is not bad in the East.

However, compared with the Nets, who also play team basketball, the Hornets are obviously inferior in terms of strength on paper and combat effectiveness on the court.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Hornets 116-98 to win the game.

Yi Jianlian played the best game of the season against Marvin Williams, he was hot, shooting 15 of 20 from the field, hitting a season-high 34 points, plus 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, playing the masterpiece of the season.

This performance came at a good time, not only the domestic fans cheered, but also the American fans' enthusiasm for Yi Jianlian's vote.

Tang Tian also began to feel that he might have to witness a different historical moment.

On January 22, the league officially announced the results of the fourth round of All-Star voting, which is the final voting.

In the West, Bryant was elected All-Star Game with 1.89 million votes, nearly 300,000 more votes than second-place Curry.

Leonard finished with 780,000 votes, overtaking Draymond Green, who led in the third round (760,000), to become a member of the starting forwards in the West.

Durant ranks first among all forwards in the West with 980,000 votes.

Westbrook came in second place in the Western backcourt with 770,000 votes.

Westbrook, Curry, Kobe, Leonard and Durant will be the starting lineups in the West.

In the East, Irving suppressed Deron and partnered Wade in the starting backcourt.

In terms of forwards, James stood out with 1.01 million votes, followed by George with 710,000 votes.

And Yi Jianlian defeated Anthony (586,000 votes) with 590,000 votes and became the starting striker in the East!

Yi Jianlian was selected as the 2016 NBA All-Star starter!
