Chapter 81: Lin Fei helps Keynes fight Kobe
At the party, some words may be jokes, for example, Lin Fei said that he would help Cairns and vote for Kobe, for Lin Fei, it may be a favor for his teammates and friends, which is incumbent.
"Oh! Dude, you know? You need to vote for Kobe Bryant. This is a war without gunpowder, and we have to run for president as we did. "A lot of Warriors players are ready to give Keynes advice." You have to show your defensive strength at both ends of the court in the next few games, the doctor recommends strictly limiting Lin Fei's playing time, your chance now is here, you have to play better statistics than Kobe Bryant, to be convincing enough, this is the first step you want to challenge Kobe Bryant on the ballot, you know? ”
Before the results of the first round are announced, the Warriors have three games left against the Timberwolves, Kings, and Raptors, all of whom are underdogs in the league, and it is also a great opportunity for the Warriors to turn around morale and improve the statistics of the players, especially Keynes, Jobs, and Ikes.
The next game is against the underdogs Timberwolves. This is almost an excellent time to brush up on data, although the Warriors have lost two in a row, but the Timberwolves have lost five in a row, nine consecutive defeats on the road, morale is much lower than the Warriors, and the Warriors are at home, in many ways the Warriors have a unique advantage, and from the history of the match, the Warriors have won 5 consecutive games against the Timberwolves, and now the only regret is that Lin Fei's playing time is the problem, but according to experience and book value, even if the Warriors lack Lin Fei, The combat power will also be far stronger than that of the timberwolves.
Lin Fei also communicated with Nelson, which means that he may still be on the bench in this game, choose according to the situation on the field, and even choose not to play.
Keynes knew that it was a great opportunity for him, and this game was extraordinarily hard, playing 41 minutes on the court, hitting 11 of 23 shots, scoring 31 points, and also contributing 12 rebounds, 7 assists, and a quasi-triple-double, absolute All-Star level data, Keynes directly amazed the whole court in this game. Looking at the entire league, there are very few players who can easily score the top data of 31+12+7. Keynes's play also made Lin Fei sit firmly on the bench, but Lin Fei may also be happy to sit on the bench at this time.
The Golden State media began to cheer for Cairns, urging fans to vote and dream of Cairns being an All-Star.
Then facing the Kings and the Raptors, both of which are not good at defense, is a good opportunity for a player to play such a team. Lin Fei played strictly in 18 minutes, and the opportunities were basically left to Keynes, although Curry also entered the squad, but Curry also knew that it was almost impossible, but Keynes was young, energetic, and entertaining, so it was better to create more opportunities for Keynes. Sure enough, Keynes continued to explode, averaging 22 points + 8 rebounds + 6 assists per game in these two games. In the last game, Keynes' stats were 25 points + 9 rebounds + 6 assists All-Star stats. Looking at the West, no one has been able to average such a statistic per game, which is enough to show how hot Keynes is this week.
Keynes even won the Player of the Week nomination for such a performance, coupled with the Warriors' three-game winning streak, and he is also the second player from the Warriors to be nominated for the Player of the Week this season after Lin Fei.
At this time, Keynes first obtained the initial qualification for the All-Star, which is the All-Star level statistic. Next, it's definitely going to be popular.
Warriors fans are first of all the guarantee of Keynes' votes, this guy's entertainment is too strong, so it is also very popular with fans, plus the Warriors' record, and has a large number of fans, coupled with the fanning of the media, Keynes's popularity has risen sharply. But maybe this is not enough, if there is another big-name superstar on the stage, Keynes may be even more dramatic, undoubtedly, this person is Lin Fei.
"Oh! I learned from off the court how great this guy is, he did a lot of things that I couldn't do, really, he was able to grab rebounds on the court, he could pass the ball to his teammates, he could break through the basket and shoot from the outside, really, he could do anything. I think he's probably more deserving of an All-Star than I am. Lin Fei said this in an interview with the media.
This makes it clear that Lin Fei will go crazy against his teammate Keynes. But there is one thing that people may have overlooked, that is, Lin Fei is now injured, will Lin Fei's comments like this have an impact on his own all-star votes? Even if so many people estimate that Lin Fei's votes will be far ahead, but for Lin Fei, who is injured and may not be able to play, how many people will support him wildly? Lin Fei said that Keynes was more qualified than himself, and whether he would let go of a large part of his votes.
No one can say such a thing, everyone believes in Lin Fei's absolute appeal in the league now, but no one can be sure that Lin Fei can make his teammates all stars.
The next day, the league announced the results of the first round of All-Star ballots.
When you see the number of votes for the players, everyone is stupid.
Lin Fei, the king of western votes, and received millions of votes, directly breaking the record of the highest number of votes in the first round of the league. Everyone may have thought of it, but no one thought that Lin Fei, to be precise, an injured Lin Fei would have such a high number of votes. This is not the most surprising, the most surprising thing is that the second place in the West is actually Keynes Kanes, which surprised fans and experts alike.
Oh, my God! Keynes's vote was able to beat Kobe Bryant, and there has never been such a miracle in the history of the league, when a team dominated the top two All-Star votes in the same position. However, Keynes' lead over Kobe Bryant is a few thousand votes, which is almost negligible, but even if he can get the same votes as Kobe, it is already an unprecedented miracle.
Keynes himself was surprised to hear such news, and his mouth could eat two eggs.
Kobe Bryant looked calm and surprised when he found out, Keynes? How could this kid have such a high vote? The Warriors' record is indeed outstanding, but that may guarantee Lin Fei's votes, and it can't make their whole team get such high votes!
After careful analysis, the Warriors' other top All-Star players Ax, Jobs, and Curry have all entered the top 8 of their respective positions, which is all a normal imagination, but only one Keynes is so amazing.
Do the experts have something to do now? Why? Why? How could Keynes be similar to Kobe Bryant?
