Chapter 161: Selected as an All-Star Rookie Starter

Chapter 161 was selected as an All-Star rookie starter

Time flies, more than half a month has passed since Ricky Davis was traded, and the time has come to January 20, 2004, and the 03-04 season is already halfway through.

Now the Cavaliers have a mediocre record, ranking eleventh in the Eastern Conference, and the Cavaliers have also dug a big hole for themselves.

It takes a lot of effort to fill this hole.

On January 20th, there was only one week left before the end of voting for the third phase of the All-Star Game of the 03-04 season, and Cao Jian and James were also fortunate to be on the list.

Helplessly, because they are newcomers, the number of votes is still very low, and there is no way to have low qualifications, which is really a hard injury.

That's one thing, but the most important thing is that there are so many superstars in the East End.

At the point of small forward, there is Maddie, the hottest superstar in the league now, Maddy's cousin Vince Carter as a point guard, and Allen Iverson as a point guard, these players are all hot in the league, although Cao Jian and James are also very powerful, good enough, among so many rookies, but compared with the above ones, the difference is really not a grade.

In particular, these people also have a large number of fans in China, and it is even more difficult for Cao Jian to become an All-Star starter.

James All-Star voted for Eastern Conference small forward, and he was in third place, behind Maddie and Truth Pierce.

And Cao Jian, because he is Chinese, he was topped to the second position of the Eastern District point guard, but his popularity base is still a lot worse than Iverson, who has brought countless touches to the fans, in only one week, want to catch up, the possibility is extremely low, now the number of votes in the three stages of the total, there are close to 500,000, want to catch up, the difficulty is not ordinarily large, and no one has ever thought that Cao Jian will surpass it.

Being able to get close to shrinking to 200,000 is already remarkable for fans.

This is also a pity for Cao Jian's fans.

Regret to regret.

In fact, it is really not appropriate to compare Cao Jian and Yao Ming, the starting point is different, the position played is not the same, and the current alliance pattern is not the same, which is not comparable.

Yao Ming was drafted by the Rockets as a champion in '02, and before he entered the league, he already had countless fans in China.

And Cao Jian entered the league as a non-draft player, before entering the league, no, it should be said that before Cao Jian had his current play, who was Cao Jian? Maybe many people don't understand.

position, Yao Ming plays center, and now the league is in the position of center, talent is withering, and there are really not many competitive centers.

Cao Jian is different, he plays point guard, there are many talents in this regard, Cao Jian is a newcomer, moreover, the Chinese want to stand out from it, the difficulty is not just a star and a half.

Being selected for the second place is in itself an affirmation of its strength.

Having said that, Cao Jian didn't say anything about the number of votes behind Iverson, who was in first place, but he was still extremely unhappy.

It's upset, it's not happy, what should I do?

Brush points, brush points.

Three games a week, Cao Jian scored 110 points in the game, a total of 30 three-pointers were made in these three games, and only 49 shots were spent......

Cao Jian is not happy to brush points, James is not happy, he is brushing triple-doubles, three games, a total of three triple-doubles, his performance is also extremely awesome, there is a tendency to take triple-doubles as a home-cooked meal.

The outstanding performance of the Knights Twin Stars also added a lot of points to it.

Especially Cao Jian, after these games, Cao Jian's all-star votes are also soaring, and in less than a week, he is also moving forward rapidly.

In a week, it added nearly 500,000 votes, which is unique in the history of the league, but, unfortunately, there are too many behind, and Cao Jian can't catch up with Iverson in front.

Although, I didn't catch up, but, it's about the same, only a few hundred tickets are missing.

This is also to make everyone optimistic that Cao Jian can make a comeback next season.

Although Cao Jian was not selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season, he did an excellent job of completing the tasks stipulated by the system and was selected for the rookie starting lineup.

On January 27, the league also announced the list of All-Star rookie starters for the 03-04 season, and the players who participated in the rookie challenge were voted for by 11 former NBA players and coaches.

And Cao Jian seems to be in office, among them, he is still one of the two people who have won the most first invoices, and the other is his teammate LeBron James.

Undoubtedly, Cao Jian, a Chinese player who has not been drafted, entered the All-Star Rookie Game in such a way, which in itself is a recognition of his strength.

The Rookie Challenge will be held on Feb. 13 at the Stamps Center in Los Angeles as part of the traditional NBA All-Star Weekend, where 18 rookies from two "grades" will compete against first- and second-year teams.

Also selected to the first-year team along with Cao Jian were rookie Tanhua Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony, Raptors' Chris Bosh, the Heat's Haslem and Wade, the Wizards' Hayes, the Bulls' Ciric, the Mavericks' Josh Howard and the Clippers' Carman.

The above are All-Star rookie first-year students.

The sophomore team is led by Chinese player Yao Ming, who has just scored a new NBA career high of 37 points, and the team also includes Carlos Boozer from the Cavaliers, Mike Dunlevy from the Warriors, Ginobili from the Spurs, Jaric from the Clippers, Murray from the SuperSonics, Nene Hilario from the Nuggets, Price from the Pistons and Stoudemire from last season's Rookie of the Year.

In the past, the All-Star Rookie Game was not much to watch, but this All-Star Rookie Battle is a lot of highlights.

For example, the two-time champion competition, Yao Ming and James.

For example, the Chinese All-Star Rookie Derby battle, Cao Jian vs. Yao Ming, these are all eye-catching things.

In addition to being selected for the rookie competition, Cao Jian was also invited to participate in the All-Star Skills Challenge.

Now every point of experience is extremely important to Cao Jian.

This is especially true on the premise that he knows that he still has 400 experience points and can learn the skill of "Butterfly Wears Flowers".

(Seeing that there are so few recommendations and not being on the list, the pirates panicked, and a little doubtful that their insistence was correct, and then another chapter, kneeling down to ask for recommendation support.) )
