The results of the Trail Blazers' game against the Cavaliers quickly drowned out in endless NBA news, with the most watched being undoubtedly the final vote for the 2009 Phoenix All-Stars. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although Ye Feng ranked seventh in the Western Forward position in the first round of voting, it is obvious that this momentum will not make him an All-Star starter in his rookie season like Yao Ming, but he still pays attention to the All-Star voting results, even if he can only play the Rookie Challenge.

The next game was also at home, against the Washington Wizards, and there was a two-day gap between the two games, which gave Ye Feng plenty of rest time and gave him the leisure to pay attention to the list of All-Stars in the East and West. On January 22, the NBA officially announced the results of the 2009 All-Star Game vote, and the starting list in the East and West was also newly released, with Wade, Iverson, James, Garnett and Howard in the East, and Kobe, Paul, Duncan, Xiaosi and Yao Ming in the West. Of course, there is no Ye Feng's share, and even the substitute may not have his name, but he still feels very happy, because the big brother Yao Ming has once again become the starting center of the Western All-Stars, as long as it is Chinese, it will feel honored.

The winner of this year's All-Star Game was Magic's Howard, who received a record 3150181 votes. At last year's All-Star Game in New Orleans, Howard was crowned the dunk king, the tallest dunk king of NBA history, and he leads the league in rebounds, blocks and double-doubles this season, making it his third career All-Star and second starter. This time, he easily surpassed Yao Ming's record of 2558728 votes set four years ago, which was really surprising. Yao Ming "only" got 2532958 votes this time, this is his seventh consecutive All-Star starting center, but he did not appear in the All-Star game in New Orleans last year due to injury.

Among other players in the East, James, a two-time All-Star Game MVP in 2006 and 2008, closed the gap between himself and Howard in the final stages, and he ended up with 2940823 votes. Garnett, one of Boston's Big Three, was unabated, winning 2066833 votes and joining James as the starting line of the Eastern Conference All-Stars, while Yi Jianlian, also from China, was 253004 behind Garnett in third place as an Eastern Forward. In terms of guards, 2006 Finals MVP Wade dominated the top spot with 2741413 votes, and Iverson, who switched to the Pistons, was also hot, and he ranked second to the Eastern Conference defenders with 1804649 votes, and was able to partner with Wade in the backcourt of the Eastern All-Stars.

The Western Conference ticket king is Kobe Bryant, who has just lost the finals, and "Peter Pan" is in first place with 2805397 votes, followed by Spurs star Duncan, who has 2578168 votes. Joining Kobe Bryant in the Western All-Star backcourt was Paul, who received 2134798 votes, while the other starting forward was the Suns' Stoudemire, who got 1460429 votes for his highly entertaining style of play, and his teammate O'Neal got more 1850018 votes than him, but he could only settle for second place at the center position, but then again, he has not been the starting center in the West since Yao Ming joined the NBA.

The Rockets' Maddie and the Nuggets' Anthony were undoubtedly the biggest disappointers in the All-Star voting process. In the final official election 12 hours ago, Maddie was 157063 votes ahead of Paul, but he only got 1678516 votes, nearly 460,000 votes behind Paul; And Anthony also led Xiao Si by 10,431 votes 12 hours ago, but he only had 1337519 votes in the end, and was not only overturned by Xiao Si, but also overtaken by Bowen and Ci Shiping. Therefore, the all-star voting is still very cruel, and it is not safe to lead by more than 100,000 votes at all, and it is still difficult for dark horses to be among them under normal circumstances.

Ye Feng's mentality is quite good, he is not envious of those players who can participate in the All-Star Game, but he knows very well that he is not qualified enough now, and the seventh place in the first round of voting to be ranked as a Western Forward is already the love of the majority of fans, and it is impossible to throw himself into the All-Star in one go, he is not a player like Yao Ming who has been playing in China before entering the NBA. However, he was not discouraged, the previous battle with James completely changed his state of mind, and now he is full of confidence in himself, but he is only an All-Star, and his goal is to win the NBA championship.

This time, the All-Star Weekend was held in Phoenix Phoenix, the home of the Suns, on February 13, and it was only two or three weeks away, and Ye Feng couldn't wait. All-Star Weekend is a great break for most players, but that's not what Ye Feng is excited about: on February 14, the day before the All-Star break, there will be a Rookie Challenge, where he and his former teammates Westbrook and Loew will once again play side by side, and current teammate Oden, who is also counted as a first-year rookie, will also appear in the Rookie Challenge.

What makes him feel even more enthusiastic is that the coaches of the two teams in the first and second grades of the Rookie Challenge will be guest appearances by two current NBA superstars, and the "Flash" Wade is in charge of the first-year team, Ye Feng is undoubtedly his fan, just look at the No. 3 on his body. This time to be able to charge under the command of his idol, in addition to playing with his former teammates, he is also very excited about it, although Wade's on-the-spot command is likely to be inferior to that of a professional coach, but his vision is not comparable to his group of first-year rookies, thinking about this game must be quite interesting.

However, for Ye Feng, the most important thing now is to play a good game seriously, so that he can hope to become a first-year starting small forward, if the next game is not good, Wade will not care if you are a fan of him, and nine times out of ten you will be directly pressed on the bench. Although there are young players like Rose and Beasley in the first year, the former is the top pick in the draft and the latter is Wade's teammates, Westbrook and Loew may not be able to start, and if they sit alone on the bench at that time, they will definitely be laughed at by those two guys.

Besides, there is another benefit to being a starter, maybe it can only be regarded as a disadvantage for others, but Ye Feng is still looking forward to it. Obviously, the starting small forward in the second year will only be Westbrook's teammate, the equally talented Durant, and the team will have two home and away games against the Thunder before the All-Star Weekend, so isn't this a preview of the Rookie Challenge?
