On the day of the game against the Wizards, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of the 2009 All-Star voting.

Chamberlain had the highest number of votes, with 2 million votes giving him a landslide ahead of the rest of the players, while Howard, Yao Ming, Kobe, LeBron James and Wade all surpassed the million mark in votes. Paul, who experienced a team's losing streak and a broken steal streak, was worse off by Iverson and lost the second position in Western Conference guards, but Maddy's advantage was not obvious.

The Warriors have a total of four people who participated in the All-Star vote, Chamberlain, Iverson, West and Billups, so far, Chamberlain is sure to become an All-Star starter, Iverson is very hopeful to continue to start - his popularity was high, and now that the Warriors and Chamberlain are working together, the Chinese people support him even more, and now he ranks second in the Western Conference guard after Kobe.

Billups isn't too worried about his All-Star journey, he's a veteran and has played as an All-Star many times before, so it doesn't matter if he can be selected this season. The competition for Western defenders is indeed fierce, Kobe Bryant, Iverson, Maddy, Kidd, Paul, Delon, Roy, Parker, Durant, one of these guys is one, and now they are all popular in the league.

West would love to be an All-Star, but now it seems unlikely that he will be a sixth man, first of all, the Warriors already have three people who may be selected as All-Stars, plus he is four, on the one hand, the league will not let the All-Star have a situation where one team dominates, unless you are the Lakers make up F4.

The rest of the position is no different from the results first announced, with Bryant being the All-Star starting guard in the West and another spot for Paul Kidd Iverson Maddy. The little giant Yao Ming continues to lead the Western center position with 1.11 million votes, and Yao Ming's teammate Maddy has been recognized by fans with a "triple-double" and a "quasi-triple-double" performance after returning from injury, and the votes have gradually caught up, with 740,000 votes, second only to Iverson's 960,000 votes and Paul's 820,000 votes.

In the East, James, the 2008 All-Star Game MVP winner, leads the way, and Howard has been playing better and better this season due to Chamberlain's pressure, ranking second in votes, followed by Wade, who is firmly in the first place in the East. It is worth mentioning Yi Jianlian, whose current votes increased to 860,000, only 40,000 fewer than Kevin Garnett, who is in second place in the Eastern Forward.

This result made Nets fans very happy, Yi Jianlian was of course very happy, but there were many worries in addition to happiness: in the face of this result, many players and retired stars expressed their unacceptability, and experts repeatedly asked the league to change the All-Star voting rules, they thought that Yi Jianlian's votes were unreasonable, and it was obvious that the huge number of Chinese people helped him a lot, and his current votes are only 40,000 votes less than Garnett, for the Chinese with a base of more than 2 billion, 40,000 votes are a matter of minutes!

Isn't it a joke that Yi Jianlian squeezed out Garnett to become an All-Star starter? The New Jersey Star, which is almost the official media outlet of the Nets, was furious, and they responded to the doubts at length, asking, "One averaged 18 per game." 6 points, 7. 5 rebounds, 7. Isn't an all-around striker with two assists as good as a veteran who has played less than twenty games so far in a season? Kevin Garnett is a very good player, he is so good that even in the history of the NBA we can't ignore the ranking of forwards, but now it's an All-Star, it's not a ranking of the top 50 stars, we look at a player's performance this season, not how good his career is, and who can say that Yi's career won't be as bright as Kevin Garnett? ”

Nets fans are also very anxious, why is Yi Jianlian selected as an All-Star because of the help of the Chinese? Well, the Chinese did help, and almost all the Chinese in New Jersey were voting for Yi Jianlian, whether they were concerned about basketball or not. But so what? Spanish fans haven't voted for Gasol yet? Aren't French fans voting for Parker yet? Didn't the German fans vote for Nowitzki yet? Let's talk about Chinese fans, they also voted for Yao Ming and Chamberlain, and the big head is on these two people, you have a kind of questioning these two guys.

No wonder the Nets are in such a hurry, because their only hope this season is on Yi Jianlian, ace Carter directly withdrew from the All-Star vote because of injury, and although the Eastern guard is not as crowded as the West, it is not Harris's turn, so if Yi Jianlian can't make it to the All-Star, then they will wait to eat duck eggs.

Yi Jianlian this season has indeed improved a lot compared to last season, and he has averaged 18 per game in the starters so far. 6 points, 7. 5 rebounds, 7. With 2 assists, that's pretty much a game, especially for a yellow striker.

Now Yi Jianlian is more and more confident, he may not be able to play the expectations of fans when he participated in the draft last year, but he can definitely sit in the starting power forward position of a team.

The outside world is noisy, Yi Jianlian of course wants to come out to speak, he said in an interview: "It is not particularly important to be selected as an All-Star, the most important thing is our game, after all, the All-Star is a more entertaining game, and it is important for us to make the playoffs this season and even go further." However, an All-Star is a goal, a pursuit, and a very high personal honor for every player, so I am very much looking forward to the day when I can stand on the real All-Star field. ”

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and a thousand All-Star starting lineups in the eyes of a thousand fans.

"Chinese forward Yi Jianlian has grown a lot this season, he is already a good player, I wonder if the Bucks regretted trading him. But after all, he is only an excellent player, not an All-Star level player, no matter in terms of strength or personality, he does not have the conditions to be selected as an All-Star. Since it's an All-Star Game, if you don't have the strength of an All-Star, even if you enter the starting lineup through the fans' care, you can't perform well and be replaced by the coach quickly, what's the point? And China is easy to be introverted, and he is not suitable for the stage of all-star show......"

Boston's media and fans are the hardest working to suppress Yi Jianlian, because according to the current situation, James, the first "little emperor" of Eastern forwards, has 1.52 million votes, and other forwards can't shake it, Garnett has 1 million, and Yi Jianlian has got 960,000 votes. If Yi Jianlian is ranked third, then the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team will definitely not select Yi Jianlian when he designates players - Pierce, Granger, and Lewis are their choices, who made Yi Jianlian Chinese?

Yes, the United States claims to be the freest and most democratic country in the world, but it would be ridiculous to say that there is no racial discrimination in this country. The nature of basketball determines that the physical fitness of blacks is more dominant, so since the eighties of the last century, blacks have begun to dominate the NBA, whites discriminate against blacks in other fields, blacks discriminate against whites in basketball, of course, whites still discriminate against blacks, but the two sides have one thing in common, that is, they both discriminate against yellows.

Yao Ming has no other hard honors in his career except for the All-Star starter, such as the first team, the first defensive team, etc., even if 80% of people before Chamberlain appeared recognized Yao Ming as the first center after O'Neal, these hard honors still have nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for the Chinese fans who pushed Yao Ming into the All-Star starting lineup, then he probably wouldn't even be able to play as an All-Star substitute, Yi Jianlian is now in this dilemma, he doesn't have the strength to make everyone recognize his qualifications as a starter, but once he can't start, he will definitely not be able to enter the All-Star!

Chamberlain's situation is actually not much better than Yi Jianlian, his strength is indeed undoubted, even if he is not the starter, other head coaches will select him into the All-Star Game, but the problem is that now he is not a center, he is a big forward!

Is Chamberlain a power forward? American fans said that you are really crazy about the All-Star starting lineup, Chamberlain is obviously a center, he should compete with Yao Ming for the starting position.

There are also many fans and experts discussing this matter, they believe that the NBA official should be forced to intervene in the vote, first transfer Chamberlain from the position of forward to center, so that the NBA is lively.

After the results of the second round of NBA All-Star voting are announced, China is equivalent to three players who may become All-Star starters, Chamberlain is the iron-clad starting power forward in the West, Yao Ming is the center, and Yi Jianlian is likely to become the starting forward in the East, which is a landmark event. National Star? The issue of the NBA All-Star voting was discussed, and it was suggested that public opinion and fans should face this issue with a relaxed mind.

In the program, senior basketball critic Xu Jicheng and Mr. Zhang Li discussed the matter in detail, and finally concluded: "In fact, this is a very normal result, and you don't need to make a fuss." Because voting is based on fans, after nearly 20 years of internationalization, the NBA's fan base has changed to include a large number of Chinese fans.3 500 million, which is probably more than the entire population of the United States. We feel that it is not just a sports phenomenon, but a question of how the whole world can adapt to the rise of China. We can't elevate it to a political issue, we can't elevate it to an economic issue, but everything will change when it comes to China, multiplied by the population base. Gathering sand into a tower, this may be a thing that everyone should be aware of, which is called keeping pace with the times, and a big environment has changed. ”

Xu Jicheng believes that fans take this issue too seriously, saying: "We Chinese are sometimes too ourselves, we are too strict with ourselves. As long as you like Yi Jianlian, you can vote, your vote and the vote of the Americans, and the votes of the Germans, I think they should all be the same, the same value, one vote is one vote. Chinese I think we should be confident on this issue, you just want to be entertained, we have the right now, we have the Olympics, but we still haven't learned to entertain. ”

However, the opposition of the American media is more mainstream, and the "Philadelphia Sentinel", one of the authoritative media, said: "Some people say that the essence of all-stars is entertainment, and fans have the right to decide who to watch, which is true, but the problem is that when China Yi has not yet returned to the public, the expectations of Chinese fans have also indirectly lowered the threshold and standard of all-stars." All-stars are not the backyard of Chinese fans, and it is not a good thing for the growth of China Yi, which is still a rookie, for the United States and the world to forcibly accept the results of the vote of Chinese fans. ”

In the next few days, Yi Jianlian's votes rose, and when he directly threatened Garnett, local reporters in the United States, coaches and players of other teams couldn't sit still, Garnett is the main force of the defending champion, it is a well-known golden signboard, this kind of person can't play the All-Star starter but gives it to a yellow child soldier, is there any reason for this? Why didn't God drop thunder and kill them?

Pistons power forward McDyce was even more blunt: "Yi Jianlian does not have the qualifications to start as an All-Star, in my eyes, an All-Star power forward must have the ability to lead the team to win, and have a large 'double-double' contribution, obviously Yi Jianlian's selection as an All-Star is not in line with the rules of the game." Although Chamberlain has the strength to be selected as an All-Star, he should be a center instead of a forward, and now the NBA is so interesting, this is just nonsense, isn't it? ”

Pistons head coach Curry also made it clear that Yi Jianlian's current votes are somewhat similar to Yao Ming's back then, but Yao Ming is now worthy of his name, while Yi Jianlian is more "taken care of" by Chinese fans. He said: "The strength of Chinese fans is too large, and Yi Jianlian's votes are so many thanks to the enthusiasm of Chinese fans. In 2003, Yao Ming surpassed the tough O'Neal to become the league's starter, which is very similar to Yi Jianlian's current situation, but Yao Ming is now a well-deserved starting center in the west, but Yi Jianlian is not. ”

Some media reporters believe that Yi Jianlian's selection and Chamberlain's choice of Yao Ming's forward position in order to avoid conflict are the NBA's consideration of alleviating the economic crisis.

Gardner, an NBA columnist for Milwaukee, wrote on his blog: "I believe that the name of Yi Jianlian was added to this year's shortlist, and Chamberlain became a striker, and it was all because of financial considerations." Now that the U.S. economy is very bad and the NBA's U.S. market is shrinking, Stern needs to increase its efforts to develop overseas markets, especially the Chinese market and the European market. ”

At this critical juncture, as the rising star and leading actress of Sports Weekly, Li Qun of course has to express her opinion, and she wrote a report to explore this matter, the article said:

"On the surface, NBA All-Star voting is a simple thing, but in a different environment, it starts to get complicated, and this is a problem that the NBA is experiencing in a globalizing world."

"There's no doubt that Stern is excited to see more and more international players in the NBA, who represent the market, the expansion of the NBA's influence and brand value, and these intangible values can bring long-term returns. However, at the same time, Stern also began to realize that globalization is not as simple as holding games in various countries, and there are many issues to be communicated in order to make different regions and different cultures accept the NBA. ”

"As representatives of Oriental players, Yao Ming, Chamberlain, and Yi Jianlian have made some changes in the NBA to a certain extent, and voting is only a more intuitive part of it. Whether it is Chamberlain, Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian, some people believe that their strength and votes are seriously incompatible, and this is precisely the result of the NBA's expansion into the global market. ”

"As striking as the number of votes for Chinese stars is that Houston, San Francisco and New Jersey have become beachheads for Chinese businesses, with more and more NBA players becoming the spokesperson for Chinese basketball shoes, and a rapid increase in the number of Chinese partners at all levels of the NBA. Everyone has seen this, but why don't stars stand up and express their doubts when they receive an increase in endorsement fees? Have they ever wondered if it's normal for the money they receive to increase every year? ”

"Chinese businesses can speak with money, and Chinese fans can speak with votes. Although there are many people who have reservations or even oppose them, Chamberlain, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian are the players that most Chinese fans must choose, and the influence of Chinese fans on the NBA has been very obvious, not limited to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian is just one of the most obvious examples. ”

"The president of the NBA has the idea of the president, the capital has the idea of capital, and the team, the players and the fans have completely different positions, and public opinion is concerned about the topic and the existing values that are being challenged. Therefore, under the same rules of the game, the media has the right to question, fans have the right to fanatical, teams and players have the right to complain, and the NBA has the right to change or not to change the rules......
