Sorry sorry, I'm sorry, there's only one chapter today, it's a rare holiday, I played an all-night game last night, and I didn't wake up until three o'clock in the afternoon, and now I'm going to eat something and continue to sleep, and I have to go to work tomorrow Monday...... T-T……

……

60+ in a single game, led the team to complete a super reversal of 36 points behind, 29 seconds and 14 minutes......

Liu Ren's performance in the second half of this game was simply explosive!

The sensation brought by Liu Ren's game was no lower than Maddy's 35.13 seconds that year, and it was even more sensational than when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single game!

At first, people thought that Liu Ren was going to play health ball this year, after all, this is the current trend of the NBA, who has a super lineup and uses the superstar to death, but I didn't expect Liu Ren to hold back his big move! This consecutive dozen games averaged only about 20 points per game, and suddenly a violent 60 points also created a new God moment!

Following Maddie's 35.13 seconds, another "God moment" to complete a big reversal after only a few dozen seconds left behind the almost impossible to reverse the score!

And this is more brutal than any God moment in history, and with 30 seconds left in the end, the Lakers trailed by 12 points, and Liu Ren played a wave of 14-0 alone!

If Liu Ren showed his ability to score consistently throughout the season last season, this season is showing his scoring explosiveness in the ordinary.

At 29.14 seconds, there was another boss moment in the iconic game that people had been talking about after the Maddie moment.

Liu Ren's popularity has further skyrocketed because he has just slashed 60 points and boss moments, although it is not as deep as the popularity of Kobe Bryant and James that has accumulated for more than ten years, but it has the potential to become a superstar of the third era of active service!

The so-called superstars of the era are George McCann, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and other players who have dominant popularity in an era.

Even if such a player doesn't play well one day, or even if it's completely rotten, there will be no decline in popularity.

Although their contemporaries had enough players to compete with their popularity at one time, those people would be seen as short-lived, and only these people could maintain that high level of popularity.

Just like when Kobe Bryant became a superstar, there were three other four quarterbacks who had the same level of popularity as him, as well as O'Neal, Garnett, Webb and other popular superstars, these people were very strong, and they all had a time when they were unmatched, but in the end, Kobe Bryant became a superstar among these people with gorgeous data and super performance, and became the most popular player of the era.

The same is true for James later, who entered the NBA in the same era as Wade, Anthony, Paul and even Howard, and later Durant, Westbrook, etc., who began to reach the Finals for 5 consecutive years in 2011, suppressing all the players who were in a period or even a later period with him, and became a superstar of the era.

Now Kobe Bryant can't play for a few years, James will be 30 years old soon, and he will start to age, NBA officials are desperate to come out with a new era superstar to avoid the loss of NBA fans after both of them are old and retire.

So the NBA official set its sights on Liu Ren, the identity of Chinese is one thing, his own strength is strong, and youth is even more important.

In the case of the alliance's official intention, Liu Ren also got the anti-sky data again.

At 12 p.m. on the day the Lakers challenged the 76ers, it was the time when the NBA All-Star voting began.

This year, the NBA's official voting has begun to play a new trick, updating the latest votes every 12 hours, apparently to increase the enthusiasm of fans to vote.

Maybe Adam Silva is not as good as David Stern in terms of promoting the NBA and balancing the NBA, but in terms of making money and creating all kinds of eyeballs, Adam Silva can dump David Stern for several streets!

Just this simple mechanism of updating every 12 hours has increased the voting motivation of fans by many times.

Because the voting is IP-based, even if you can turn off the router and re-open it to get a new IP, you can cast a vote in a few minutes, but it's too troublesome for fans, because you can't see how much impact you have if you vote, because it used to be announced once every two or three weeks, and it was even announced once every 4 weeks at the beginning, and when it was announced, the fans themselves forgot that they had voted, and there was no sense of substitution at all.

Except for the first two or three years of the great increase in the Internet speed of several information countries around the world since 07, fans are happy to vote online because of the ultra-fast Internet speed, and the enthusiasm of everyone to vote has decreased.

Similarly, in some places where the NBA officially cooperates, such as restaurants, NBA merchandise stores, etc., people's enthusiasm for voting online is greatly reduced, which leads to fewer and fewer All-Star votes from 2011 to 2014.

However, since last year, it has been reduced to a weekly announcement, which has made fans enthusiastic about voting, at least last year, when the All-Stars just started voting and the number of people who voted in the first two years before each weekly announcement skyrocketed.

An increase in the total number of votes represents popularity, which is the favorite of investors, as well as TV broadcasters and sponsors.

Adam Silva, who has tasted the sweetness, has to do a big job this year, directly shortening the time for the announcement of the votes to 12 hours.

Therefore, the information department of the NBA's headquarters in New York has carried out a big recruitment in the offseason, and the team responsible for statistics has almost doubled, and the total number of people in charge of statistics has been directly expanded from 17 to 32.

In fact, to count this kind of online voting, we have to find a way to put an end to the behavior of swiping votes, and we have to screen out in many ways, and the amount of work is relatively large, so announcing the number of votes once in 12 hours is also a bit of pressure for the NBA official.

Not only the Chinese side votes are regarded as invalid votes, such as domestic Internet café voting, each computer in the Internet café has a virtual IP number, but that is actually only the iP number inside the Internet café, and the entire Internet café has a real fixed IP, and the server of an Internet café usually takes a month or even more to restart to get a new IP, just like the router, but the Internet café rarely restarts this large router, so often the Internet café votes a lot will be regarded as invalid votes.

Of course, other countries also have this situation, but China has the largest number of basketball fans and the most Internet cafes outside of the United States, so these problems are particularly serious on the Chinese side.

In addition to this, there are many other reasons for invalid tickets.

But no matter how many reasons there are, the NBA All-Star voting will begin to enter a blowout period from the beginning of this season, and people watch games, movies, and TV series, and what do they think is the most good-looking, and what is their favorite?

A sense of substitution!

The reason why voting was not valued in the past was because the answer appeared too late and everyone had no sense of participation, and because the time interval between the two announcements was too long, it was suddenly found that a certain star had more votes than anyone else could surpass, but because I didn't expect this person to get so many votes before, or I didn't expect that my favorite fans would get so few votes, which made many fans unhappy, and even didn't vote at all

This time, from the beginning of the voting to the noon when the Lakers came to Washington, D.C., to challenge the Wizards back-to-back, in just 12 hours, Liu Ren set up official voting countries and regions around the world, with a total of more than 1.5 million votes! Three or four years ago, this was already the number of votes that only the king of votes could get!

followed by Kobe Bryant, who was slightly stained with Liu Ren's current light, with more than 1.3 million votes, followed by Curry and James, both with more than 1.2 million votes, and the four were the only four players to get more than one million votes at the time of the first announcement of votes.

Adam Silva's face was almost laughing when the votes for the first issue were announced, and this data represents popularity! The NBA's jersey sponsorship contract is about to expire at the end of this season, and this wonderful statistic is not the best bargaining chip in the game!

Not only does the data report for sponsors look good, but this new rule that can be used to announce votes "instantly" compared to the previous one makes fans more motivated to vote for their favorite players, and the competition for All-Star votes will become more and more fierce and become something more weighty.

Of course, as the voting starts gradually, there will be no more than 1.5 million votes on the first day, and there are many fans who only vote once a year, which is the general rule, but it does not prevent this year from breaking the total number of votes in NBA history!

……

……

On December 3, the Lakers beat the Washington Wizards back-to-back.

This time I picked up a bargain for the Wizards again, the Lakers completed a super reversal yesterday, and the core player who completed the reversal, that is, Liu Ren, was about to lose his strength after the game, playing with his life's score, playing with his defense, and the difference of 36 points was not 16 points.

In addition, he went to the airport before 6 o'clock in the morning this morning, and he slept in the hotel since he arrived in Washington this morning, and when he woke up, he was paralyzed and massaged by the team doctor, physical exhaustion is one thing, and after completing the big reversal with 45 points in the second half of yesterday's anger, the mood suddenly relaxed, and now the mental exhaustion is the most important.

It's not just Liu Ren who is tired, he alone can't prevent the whole 76ers team, Liu Ren is scoring crazy at the same time, no teammates lock the 76ers in the second half, and he can't complete such a shocking reversal alone.

In other words, most of the Lakers on the court yesterday withered, only Kobe, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside, who were out of action, were full of energy, and in addition to them, only LaVine, Blake, and ...... were left physically strong Thackeray.

At the beginning of the game with the Wizards, Liu Ren, who started the game, was sluggish, how to shoot, how to throw iron, and it was not easy to replace Nick Young and Korver, two who were not good at defense yesterday played hard to defend, and the consumption was greater than that of players who really defended well.

So there are only two hard steels on the outside, Antetokounmpo and Kobe, and Whiteside and Blake on the inside.

But Liu Ren, the strongest scoring point, withered, and Green also looked half-dead, playing the Wizards' side of Wall, Beal, Porter, **, Gortat's combination did not have an advantage, although Kobe Bryant, Whiteside fought, Antetokounmpo fought, and the substitutes Clarkson and Blake and even Thackeray fought, but they still failed to defeat the Wizards.

In the end, the Lakers lost to the Wizards 92-101 in back-to-back games, and their record became 16-2.

In the first back-to-back game against the 76ers, everyone was tired and half dead, and the next day they played the Wizards, a defensive powerhouse that could be counted in the East......

Lakers fans are starting to scold NBA officials again, especially Adam Silva, how is the schedule arranged?

This time, Adam Silva said: I don't carry this pot, who would have thought that the 76ers would really rise this year, and even if the 76ers rise to that lineup, that record is warm for the Lakers, right? Who can blame him for falling behind by 36 points at halftime and being forced to fight hard?

The Lakers can only be helpless after losing, this game has indeed done its best, Kobe Bryant scored 20 points, Antetokounmpo 14 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Whiteside 18 points and 22 rebounds, the Lakers' rebounds completely suppressed the Wizards, but the Lakers' side of several big three-pointers are so iron-clad that they can't open the outside line and have no chance at the middle and short range, which is the reason for the loss.

After losing to the Wizards, the Lakers were re-opened by the Warriors.

……

18 wins in a row!

The Warriors won 18 straight games after beating the Denver Nuggets on the road, becoming the second team to win 18 in a row after the Lakers last season.

Throughout the history of the NBA, the teams that won 18 consecutive games won all of them that year's championship except for the Rockets' accident in '08.

As a result, the Warriors' prestige has skyrocketed again, continuing to occupy the position of the most watched and hated team in the NBA.

D'Antoni breathed a sigh of relief at first, he was initially afraid that Liu Ren's irritable 29.14 seconds would bring back the attention and hatred of the Warriors, and the pressure on the Lakers' side would be great.

But fortunately, Liu Ren's energetic personal performance only increased a lot of popularity for himself, at most it also increased the popularity of a few teammates, many fans who voted for Liu Ren voted for the rest of the Lakers, and Liu Ren also took a lot of advantage of Kobe, almost all of Kobe's old fans voted for Liu Ren, because the two were not in the same position, and it didn't affect the two of them to vote together.

On the contrary, the overall strength of the Lakers has been questioned because they have just finished these two games.

Let's not talk about playing the Wizards, I lost, although the difference was only 9 points, but if I lost, I lost.

In the game against the 76ers, the Lakers once trailed by 36 points, although at the end of the game, because Liu Ren led the team to complete the big reversal, everyone's attention was on the boss moment of 29 seconds and 14 minutes, but that was because winning can cover everything.

But after losing to the Wizards, all the doubts came out.

The defending champions are the most likely to be questioned, and the defending champions in the East are generally in good shape, because the East has always been weak overall, but most of the defending champions in the West are miserable in the second year of winning the championship, such as the Mavericks who won the championship in 2011 were quite miserable in the 2011-2012 season, and the Spurs, who won the championship in 2014, were not much better last season, and once fell out of the top eight.

After arriving in Atlanta, Liu Ren took a look at the basketball forums.

Sure enough, no matter where the fans are, it is easy to be led to the rhythm, and there is one person who doubts the Lakers, and everyone begins to question it......
