On December 27, 2012, just as the smoke of the Christmas War had gradually cleared, the NBA league announced the results of the second round of voting for the 2012-2013 All-Star Game on its official website.

In this season's All-Star vote, the NBA league has made a major reform, that is, the vote for the center position has been canceled, and only the two positions of forward and guard have been retained. The NBA league has been discussing the reform of the All-Star vote, and finally after more than half a year of planning, the NBA league announced the final reform plan before the All-Star vote this season, that is, to cancel the center position and set up three forwards and two guards.

The forward position has always been the most competitive position in the All-Star vote, with the five big forwards and Meng Xu in the front, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and these rising stars, and now the rookies led by Paul George have also begun to rise, so the forward position has always been the most difficult position, so when the NBA league announced the voting plan for this season, the players who registered as a forward are all clearly supportive, after all, for them, That's two more starting positions!

There is support and opposition, this All-Star voting reform, the players who are registered as the center have undoubtedly become the most miserable group, in this season's All-Star vote, among the top five players in the East and West forward positions, not even a center can be seen, so after the second round of All-Star voting results were announced, Dwight Howard, who has been elected as an All-Star starter for several consecutive terms, publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with this reform, and after Howard, there are also many players in the center position who have spoken out, Solidarity with Howard, after all, in the past, even if they couldn't become an All-Star starter, they still had the opportunity to be selected as a substitute, but now that they don't have the position of center, they are afraid that they will say goodbye to the All-Star stage permanently.

In recent seasons, fans' interest in All-Star voting has become lower and lower, in last season's All-Star voting, the vote king of the East and West only received 1.5 million votes, which is the least number of votes in the last dozen seasons, but with Meng Xu's comeback this season, the All-Star vote has once again shown an extremely prosperous trend, after the first two rounds of voting, Meng Xu received as many as 1.7 million votes, and Tim Duncan, who has missed the All-Star game for two consecutive seasons, It has also received nearly 1.3 million votes, second only to Meng Xu among all voting players in the West.

After Meng Xu and Duncan, Kevin Durant ranked third in the Western Forward position with 930,000 votes, while Blake Griffin, who ranked behind Durant, currently has only more than 400,000 votes.

Compared with the huge lead of Meng Xu and Duncan in the forward position, the gap in the guard position is much smaller, Kobe Bryant is firmly in the first echelon, and behind Kobe Bryant, the gap between Chris Paul, Jeremy Lin, James Harden, Russell Westbrook is very small, there is only a gap of tens of thousands of votes between Chris Paul in second place and Russell Westbrook in fifth, and they are temporarily in the first Kobe Bryant. Now there is only a gap of more than 100,000 votes, and it can be said that no matter which two of the above five players end up as All-Star starters this season, it is possible.

After the results of the second round of voting were announced, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo had a huge lead to ensure that they became the All-Star starters of the season, but Rajon Rondo, who was selected for the All-Star game as a starter for the first time, was very likely to miss the All-Star game this season due to injury.

This year's All-Star Game is the first All-Star Game after Meng Xu's comeback, so when the voting results of the All-Star Game have not yet been finalized, there has been gossip that this year's All-Star Game will be a special All-Star Game, and it is said that the MVP trophies of this year's All-Star Game are different from the past.

Although this season's All-Star Game is held in Houston, the Houston Rockets, which are rebuilding, have no superstars to take, even if the Rockets' current star James Harden and Jeremy Dark Marin can be selected for the All-Star Game, with their qualifications, they will not be able to get the support of all the Western All-Stars to compete for this year's All-Star MVP.

No one on the Rockets' side can compete for the All-Star MVP, but the Spurs, who are also in Texas, have Ah, after O'Neal was traded from the Heat to the Suns, at that All-Star Game, the Western All-Stars worked together to promote the reunion of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, and jointly lifted the Star of the Stars trophy of the day, so when Meng Xu chose to make a comeback in the Spurs and was selected as this year's All-Star with Tim Duncan, a senior executive in the NBA league moved to let Meng Xu and Duncan follow O'Neal and Kobe, Lifting the All-Star MVP trophy together this year is a good idea.

After the results of the second round of voting for the All-Star Voting were announced, Meng Xu's mood also became better, because before this, Meng Xu was a little worried that he would be like Jordan, who would be forgotten by the fans after his comeback, and he would have to rely on others to push him to get on the All-Star Game as a starter, how faceless it was.

and Meng Xu are also in a good mood, as well as Tim Duncan, who has missed the All-Star Game for two consecutive seasons, since the beginning of the 10th season, Tim Duncan has gradually left the mainstream stage of the NBA, the team's record is not good, his personal data has declined sharply, and he has missed the best team and All-Star in a row, although Duncan does not care much about these honors, but in the outside world, "Duncan is old, Duncan is no longer good." In the voice, Tim Duncan will also be a little lonely.
