Chapter 82: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves
After a storm of media pundits, the media experts finally came to the conclusion that Keynes's vote was largely due to Lin Fei's sentence "Keynes is more qualified to be an All-Star than me". Now the problem came out, and it was okay when I said it, but now that I pursue it, the problem is big.
Everyone was unanimous for Kobe, as the number one superstar in the league for a long time, it was just a matter of losing to a new generation of superstars, and even lost to a second-rate superstar at most, which was an insult to Kobe.
"As an All-Star, you probably shouldn't be so partial to your teammates."
"It's misleading NBA fans to say that Keynes can beat Kobe Bryant to get an All-Star start, and I think the league's All-Star selection rules need to be changed."
Lin Fei went too far, relying on his popularity to help his teammates get All-Star votes. It's not fair to other players. ”
"It's not up to him to be an All-Star, he should make the fans go along with their own ideas."
It was originally a very simple thing, but because it provoked Kobe, it directly pushed Lin Fei to the forefront.
Kobe Bryant's fans immediately established the "Defend Kobe All-Star Fan Club", which means to build momentum for Kobe's All-Star, and no one can replace Kobe's All-Star starter. Many of these fans are extremely provincial, and they are all vigorously slandering Lin Fei. In fact, these people originally had a lot of complaints about Lin Fei's all-star ticket king and Western All-Star starting guard. At this time, Lin Fei's remarks in the medical and health category suddenly aroused the emotions in the hearts of these fans, and they threatened to help Kobe Bryant regain the top of the West and regain Lin Fei's position as the king of Western guards.
But the threat is a threat after all, Lin Fei's first round of votes has reached one million, directly breaking the highest record in the league, even Jordan at his peak, Yao Ming, who has just entered the alliance, is not as good as Lin Fei now, even Kobe Bryant at his peak, there is a certain gap with Lin Fei now, not to mention Kobe Bryant, who is now getting old?
But you can never ignore Kobe and his fans, and never provoke Kobe.
"I need to find the best version of myself, and I need to prove that I'm still the best All-Star in the league." This is Kobe, the Kobe who has not seemed to change for more than ten years, confident and tenacious.
"Kobe Bryant is also a player I like, but I think Keynes also has the strength to be selected as an All-Star, and I believe that Keynes can get such a high vote, because our Warriors have such a good record this season, which is the result of the joint efforts of all our players, not the result of my words" This is Lin Fei's response.
However, even if so many people criticize and blame, there are still people who see Lin Fei's "terrible" side.
Lin Fei's injury doesn't know if it has an impact on his all-star votes, if it does, no one can imagine how many votes a healthy Lin Fei can get, and when Lin Fei stands on the court, how many fans will be crazy about him. At the same time, Lin Fei not only firmly occupies the first place in the All-Star vote, but his words are enough to make another player who is at most a second-rate star become an All-Star player in the league, that is to say, his words seem to be able to change the situation of the entire All-Star vote, even David Stern does not have this super ability, as a player, Lin Fei's influence seems to be unprecedented in the history of the league.
"It's incredible, it's really incredible, and although I think Lin Fei's remarks that his teammate John Kannes is better than him are debatable, but it really shows his super strong influence, which seems to be reflected in the number of fans and the fanaticism of the fans." As the most loyal fan of Cairns, although the coolie has a big mouth, he has always stood firmly on the front of Lin Fei.
"I first have to congratulate Keynes on being able to beat Kobe Bryant, one of our NBA active players, in the first round of the ballot, which shows that this lad is really improving and getting better and better. I guarantee that our NBA's vote counting system is impartial. But we can't guarantee that it is absolutely fair, just as there is no such thing as absolute justice in the world, but I think the votes of fans are objective, and they have the right to choose their favorite players" NBA President Stern said, but maybe at this time Stern began to plan in his heart, Lin Fei's unprecedented influence, can it be used? Since Yao Ming's retirement, the NBA has been looking for a player who can replace Yao Ming and become the most representative figure of the NBA nationalization, although Nowitzki, Gasol, Parker, Ginobili These players are very outstanding, but they can't seem to reach the world's top level of influence, they can't fascinate hundreds of millions of people in the world at the same time, and Lin Fei may be able to replace all this. Lin Fei's current scoring achievements have not appeared in the league for more than ten years, even if you look at the history of the league, it is rare, and Lin Fei has achieved a lot of achievements, scoring champions, and I don't know how many scoring titles he can win, All-Star MVP, it seems to be worth paying attention to illustrative, and at the same time the best sixth man, as well as the impact he has brought to the Warriors, and his identity as a Chinese player, all factors have led Lin Fei to the road of super global superstar.
Lin Fei really didn't have much concept in his heart. From the beginning of his own entry into the department team, after the school team, and then ready to enter the CBA, he miraculously entered the NBA, and then was promoted from the bench overnight to a main player, and from a main player to a core player, and from a core player to a top superstar in the league, this step by step, Lin Fei himself didn't even think of everything now, he always felt that he was relatively humble, and never thought that he had the word "great" to describe, It was almost impossible for him to imagine how much influence he would have, even beyond the All-Star ballot.
Although the All-Star trend is getting higher and higher, the Warriors are still working hard because they all want to be the protagonists of the All-Stars. Lin Fei's injury has fully recovered, and now Keynes's situation may be a little embarrassing, if he wants to compete for the All-Star starter, he must ensure that he plays a superstar statistic, just like he did in the last game just past, but Lin Fei also needs to find his form, so it seems that Keynes is difficult to guarantee.
