353 Road to the All-Star
Jin Dong was a little panicked in his heart, but his body, which was very tired before, was completely tired at this moment, "Why is this chick here?" Jin Feng was a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Ah, haha, hi, hello" nodded curtly, and Jin Dongqiang remained calm.
"Hello, Jin, you're back" Ajiali looked at Jin Feng, her eyes unconsciously flashed with light, and then she greeted Jin Feng very calmly.
"You know?" Jin Feng pointed to the two people in front of him and asked, the thing he wanted to confirm most now was whether Lin Lei knew about the matter between himself and Ajiali.
"We met on the plane, Ao, it seems that the two of us are very close" Ajiali also seemed to understand what Jin Feng was thinking, and said casually.
"Oh, so that's the case" Jin Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He's so afraid of that thing!
"You sleep alone tonight, the two of us sleep" Lin Lei pulled Ajiali and said to Jin Feng, and then, before Jin Feng could say anything, she took Ajiali's hand and walked to the bedroom, leaving Jin Feng with a wooden expression.
"That's too ...... Well, the woman's world brother doesn't understand"
To be honest, Jin Feng didn't have a good night's rest, he was always worried about that incident, but fortunately, until Ajiali left the next day, it seemed that Lin Lei didn't find anything.

Although the game with the Rockets ended up losing away, for the Spurs, the situation is getting better and better, because with the official comeback of Leonard, the strongest Spurs have been formed, different from last season's Spurs, the new season's Spurs are destined to be stronger, because Aldridge is no longer the Aldridge last season, Jin Feng is no longer the Jin Feng of last season, and even Danny Green and others have also made some progress.
Spurs won the next few games in December and are getting better and better.
As the league winds down in December, another hot spot has emerged, and that's the start of All-Star voting.
This season's All-Star voting has changed a lot compared with the previous one, the most important thing is to cancel the East and West Divisions, because most of the league's superstars play in Western teams, so the official decision is not to set up the East and West Divisions this season, but to start voting from the whole league.
This is good news for Jin Feng to a certain extent, after all, as far as the west is concerned, if the vote is carried out according to the previous system, Jin Feng does not think that he has much chance now, this is not Yao Ming's era, and the power of Chinese fans is no longer so terrifying. (Only 50% of the votes are cast by fans)
The first round of this season's All-Star voting officially began on December 24, and the first round of voting lasted for a total of 20 days until January 14, 2018.
When the first round of the All-Star voting officially opened, Jin Feng's votes also began to flip, although the number of super-giant votes such as Harden in the same position did not rise as fast, but it could be regarded as a small surge all the way.
As of December, Jin Feng's total number of votes ranked 6th among all backcourt players in the league, and according to this momentum, Jin Feng is very promising to be promoted to the league.
After all, there is still a period of time before the end of the first phase of voting, Jin Feng has a huge group of Chinese fans behind him, although the rules have changed now, and the fan votes only account for 50%, but just relying on this 50% fan base, Jin Feng also has a great chance.
Moreover, with the remaining 50 percent of NBA players and media voting (25 percent per station), Jin Feng may not be completely unsupported.
First of all, from the perspective of NBA players, Jin Feng has maintained a good relationship with many NBA players after entering the league for more than two seasons, and everyone also praised Jin Feng after playing with Jin Feng.
Another is from the perspective of the media, ESPN, one of the mainstream media, has a good relationship with Jin Feng, and although these media will treat Jin Feng individually because he is a foreign player, it is precisely because of the Chinese market behind Jin Feng that some issues must be considered.
"This kid deserves to be an All-Star, he has that ability, I hope everyone will support him"
Big shark O'Neill also publicly canvassed for Jin Feng when he attended a business event in China, which surprised everyone.
"It's been a long time since the NBA All-Star Game had a Chinese face, and China's Jin has the ability to be the next" ESPN, which has a good relationship with Jin Feng, also publicly canvassed for Jin Feng.
For a while, Jin Feng's votes skyrocketed, and he rose directly from the sixth place among the backcourt players in the league to the fourth place.
On January 14, 2018, the deadline for the first round of voting, Jin Feng continued to rank fourth among the backcourt players, and there is a good chance of advancing to the final All-Star list.
In the meantime, when the strongest Spurs returned, the league's powerhouses finally experienced the fear of being dominated by the defending champions.
Since the last game against the Rockets in mid-December, until January 15, 2018, the Spurs have played a total of 14 games, and in these 14 games, the Spurs have not tasted defeat and maintained a complete victory, and a dazzling 14-game winning streak has made the entire league look sideways.
Before Leonard did not return, there was speculation that when Leonard returned, Jin Feng's statistics may be greatly affected, after all, Leonard is the offensive and defensive core of the Spurs and will definitely occupy a lot of opportunities.
But the fact is that Leonard's return did have a certain impact on Jin Feng, but it was definitely not a big impact, but only a small one.
For example, before Leonard did not return, Jin Feng's average number of shots per game remained around 21.22, and his average of about 25 per game was about 25, and after Leonard's return, Jin Feng's average number of shots per game dropped to 16.17, however, his average points per game remained around 25 points.
Why?
Because Jin Feng has become more efficient in playing, with Leonard, the league's top five supergiants, there to attract enemy firepower, Jin Feng is often able to hit and shoot more easily.
An efficient Chinese Jin is undoubtedly better in the eyes of fans.
In this dazzling 14-game winning streak, the cooperation between the Spurs' new big three has also been very good, not only Jin Feng has not been greatly affected by Leonard's return, but Aldridge has also continued to maintain this excellent form.
The team's excellent record and the excellent performance of each of the Big Three made the Spurs the hottest team in the league for a time, even the Golden State Warriors Big Four in big cities seemed to be nothing more than that.
This also adds a lot of chips to Jin Feng's all-star journey, and the better he performs, the more support he will naturally get......
