All-Star voting is on!

At 12 noon on December 12, voting for the 2015 All-Star Weekend officially began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Still like last season, this year's All-Star voting is not limited to who to vote for, and fans can vote for whoever they want.

The league finally relied on the All-Star vote to once again arouse the enthusiasm of the fans.

Due to the previous infighting of the Lakers, many fans still continued to pay attention to the NBA at this time, and the participation in this All-Star voting was extremely high!

By midnight on the 13th, more than a million people voted in just 12 hours! Made NBA history!

Kobe Bryant, who has performed better this year than last season and looks better than last season, is undoubtedly in first place with 790,000 votes on the first day, and Curry is the second most voted in the East, second in the West with 650,000 votes, and second among Western guards.

Surprisingly, Liu Ren only received 490,000 votes on the first day of voting, ranking third in the Western frontcourt, and was left behind by Griffin and Gasol!

Behind Liu Ren, Whiteside and Thackeray, Leonard, and Anthony Davis are not far from his votes!

Liu Ren almost didn't curse when he saw the news, and by secretly discussing the posts of those fans on the forum and basketball website, he learned the reason, this time the fan participation is so high, a large part of the reason is that those who hacked him deliberately voted for other balloon stars in the west, just didn't vote for him!

This is the same as Thackeray lying in the All-Star starter last season, at that time, the fans didn't want Howard to be the All-Star starter, and this time it was his turn Liu Ren!

On the Eastern side, although the Cavaliers had a bad start, James and Kobe Bryant's popularity accumulated for many years began to give back, no matter what his team's record was, fans supported him, and now that the Cavaliers' record is starting to pick up, fans have no reason not to vote for him, even if it is a Lakers fan who has hacked James for many years, they also voted for James while voting for Kobe.

After all, Kobe Bryant and James have a chance to play each other on the court with one less game.

James was first in the East with 750,000 votes on the first day of voting, followed by Anthony and Drummond, who were second and third, respectively.

The frontcourt advantage in the East is obvious, and this year's Paul George season is reimbursed, and there is no frontcourt player in the East who is better than the popularity and statistics of these three, and basically no one can compete with them.

The competition in the Eastern backcourt is much more fierce, with Wall temporarily in first place with 570,000 votes, Rondo second with 550,000 votes, Irving third with 540,000 votes, Lowry with 540,000 votes less than Irving fourth, and Wade fifth with 520,000 votes......

All-Star Weekend is both the league's schedule divider, and its voting process is one of the league's biggest tools to engage fans in December and January, and the most appealing thing for those balloon stars to cheer up and play better during these two months.

The all-star starter represents not only popularity, but also honor and ...... Money!

……

At the San Antonio ATT Center, Spurs fans have never looked forward to playing against a strong team this season.

This season, the Spurs have played against strong teams 5 times, and the opponents are the Rockets, Thunder, Hawks, Knicks, and Lakers, all of which have been defeated without exception!

This year, the Spurs will show their old state, completely without the invincible momentum of the league in the previous two seasons, and the fans did not blame their own players, after all, the age is there, and the fans also know that the glory is really in the past this time, not in 09 and 10 years in the adjustment, the last fuel tank of the veterans is really dry this time.

It may be that after a season of rotation adjustment, the Spurs are still a team to be reckoned with in the playoffs, but fans are not expecting any big improvement in this regular season.

After all, the Spurs were able to win the first regular season in the West in the past four years, and they have been the first since the beginning of the season, not from behind, and the Spurs have never been that kind of team.

But!

That doesn't mean fans don't want their team to win in the regular season, especially against the Lakers, they want to win more!

Judging from the strength shown by the two teams this season, it is too difficult for the Spurs to beat the Lakers, the coaching staff of D'Antoni and Bickerstaff is no worse than Popovich, and the tactical tacit understanding shown by the Lakers players at the beginning is no worse than that of the Spurs, and the lineups of the two teams are incomparable.

But now it's a different story!

The Lakers are infighting!

What will be the outcome of the Lakers infighting?

The final fate of the Big Four in '04 and '13 says it all.

At this time, it was the time when the Lakers infighting broke out, Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren directly had a conflict in the game, and if they didn't take advantage of this time to beat the Lakers, when would they wait?

There is a time limit for contradictions, especially for strong teams that have already played a record, and the Lakers Big Four in 04 did not make it to the Finals no matter how bad they were?

In 13, the Lakers' Big Four were not good because the record was not good from the beginning.

Spurs fans may be the most sane fans in the league, although they are happy to see the Lakers have problems, but they also know that as the season continues to deepen, the Lakers will definitely use the record to stabilize the conflict between Liu Ren and Kobe.

After all, when playing a weak team, the Lakers had too much advantage, like Liu Ren and Kobe Bryant in the last game, and they didn't win the king by more than 20 points.

The talent and strength of the players are there! No matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse.

This time the Lakers are very different from the Big Four in 04 and 13, the Big Four of the Lakers at that time basically filled the salary cap, and the substitutes were all signed with a base salary, and most of the main players of the Lakers this time are rookie contracts and base salaries, at most they are middle-class, and the annual salary of more than 10 million is Kobe, Gasol, and Nash, the difference is big!

Spurs fans believe that the Lakers will definitely slowly return to normal in some time, so now is the best chance to beat the Lakers this season.

There is a home team with what kind of fans, and most of the Spurs players think the same thing as the fans, except for those who are extremely unbelieving and extremely believing.

From the beginning of the appearance ceremony, everyone on the floor was more certain that they thought now was the best time to beat the Lakers.

The Lakers players entered the court in two groups with a clear distinction between the inside and outside, without looking at each other, looking like they were never getting along.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began.

Lakers starters: Nash, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green.

Spurs starters: Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan, Dior.

Nash was back in the starting line-up once again, and D'Antoni hinted before the game that it was to ease the ball on the court, which certainly didn't mean that literally, but that's how people understood it.

Gasol won the jump ball duel with Duncan, and the Lakers attacked first.

Nash advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Ren and Bryant asked for the ball at two 45-degree angles at the same time.

Nash chose to give the ball to Liu Ren, who attacked first.

Of course, it was Leonard who defended Liu Ren.
