After entering December, as the topic of Li Yang's separation has become hot, Li Yang's popularity has been rising, not only in China, but also in the United States, many fans are also calling for Li Yang's vote.

While everyone knows that Li Yang will participate in the slam dunk contest nine times out of ten, they obviously want to see more performances on stages like All-Star Weekend.

Of course, there are also many people who believe that Li Yang's popularity accumulation time is too short, and it is difficult to be selected as an All-Star this season.

On December 13, local time in the United States, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of the All-Star vote.

LeBron James is in the first place in the East with 603336 votes, followed by Paul George 489335 and Carmelo Anthony 424211 the next two votes, and according to this trend, it is highly likely that the three frontcourts in the East are all small forwards. In terms of guards, Dwyane Wade 396279 votes and Kyrie Irving 365712 the top two spots.

And in the West, the two leading guards are Kobe Bryant 501215 votes and Chris Paul 393313 votes.

When it came to the frontcourt votes that Li Yang fans were most concerned about, Kevin Durant led by 607407, and he also defeated James, whose popularity had dropped due to the loss in the Finals, to become the first-round vote king. It was followed by Dwight Howard with 295,120 votes and Blake Griffin with 292925 votes.

Li Yang's name did not appear in the top three, but when Li Yang's fans looked back, they were immediately excited, and 291377 votes, Li Yang only finished fourth in the West behind Blake Griffin by more than 1,000 votes.

"Vote and vote, hurry up and vote for Li Yang, as long as you advance one more, Li Yang will be able to be selected as an All-Star starter!" Such a call spread in the comment area of major sports portals in China and in the fan base.

Even in the United States, there are also many Li Yang fans who mobilize fans around them to canvass for Li Yang.

Under these circumstances, Li Yang and his Spurs ushered in their toughest schedule of the season in the following days.

In the ten days from mid-December to Christmas, the Spurs need to play six games in ten days against the Warriors, Suns, Clippers, Thunder, Mavericks, and Rockets, as well as the Clippers, Warriors, Thunder, Mavericks, and Rockets, the five top eight teams in the West.

Even if it is as strong as the Spurs, such a schedule can't help but feel a little headache, but for Li Yang's fans, such a schedule is undoubtedly extremely interesting, because in these ten days, Li Yang will have to compete with Griffin, Durant, and Howard, the three people who are now in front of Li Yang in the All-Star vote.

In the game against the Warriors, the Spurs lost by 6 points and led their second loss of the season, but in this game, Li Yang's performance was extremely eye-catching, not only did he have many wonderful dunks in the game, but also scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds in the game.

After losing to the Warriors, the Spurs won the next games against the Suns and Clippers, but the game against the Clippers was really tough, and they fought until the end to narrow the opponent by 2 points.

In this game, Li Yang and Griffin incarnated as dunk masters, although the two did not stage a good show of separating dunks in the game, but both of them gave a few wonderful dunks, and in the game, Li Yang also scored 24 points.

Played the Clippers to the end, so in the subsequent back-to-back games against the Thunder, the Spurs played extremely hard and finally lost to the opponent by 3 points.

Li Yang's performance in this game was also eye-catching, not only did he perform a good dunk show again in the game, humiliating a strong defensive player of the Thunder interior Ibaka, but also in the game, he and Leonard also successfully limited Durant's offense, allowing the league's scoring champion Durant to score only 17 points in the game.

Against the Mavericks, the Spurs won a little easier, although the opposite Mavericks scored 107 points, but the Spurs scored 119 points in this game, a 12-point advantage to win the game.

Then, the Spurs ushered in the Christmas game, hosting the Rockets.

This year's Christmas game league is more strange, they did not arrange a direct confrontation between the Heat and the Spurs in the finals last season, but separated the two teams, the Spurs vs. the Rockets, the Cavaliers vs. the Lakers, and there are several other sets of matchups Warriors vs. Clippers, Thunder vs. Knicks, Bulls vs. Nets, and the idea of the league is obviously to expand the role of superstars.

However, the league executives at this time also regretted it, because in the Lakers, the opponent of the Heat, Kobe Bryant returned after successful surgery, but he was injured again after only six games and was reimbursed for the season.

The Spurs' game against the Rockets is still a bit of a concern, at least in China.

The last time the two teams met against the Spurs, the Spurs reversed the Rockets to win, and this time, the Spurs pressed all the way from the first quarter of the game, 98-111 in the game, and the Spurs won by 13 points.

In this game, Li Yang not only scored 20 points again, but also had a few breakthroughs and violent dunks in the counterattack in the game, and a picture that people talked about after the game was that after Li Yang broke through and jumped, Howard who rushed to the basket did not go up to make up for the defense.

"Dwight, I'm afraid it's going to be the background again. ”

"Oh, Yang's dunk is already such a deterrent!"

After the game, fans joked.

The continuous high-intensity games have caused the Spurs' record to decline, but Li Yang's outstanding performance against several Western frontcourts has increased his popularity, especially in every game Li Yang will send a strong dunk almost every game, which makes fans addicted.

So on December 28, when the NBA officially announced the second round of All-Star voting, people were surprised to find that Li Yang's votes were squeezed into the top three in the Western frontcourt, not only that, but his votes surpassed Howard and Griffin to rank second in the Western frontcourt.

In the Western frontcourt, Durant is still at the top of the list with 890728 votes, followed by Li Yang with 508437 votes in the Western frontcourt, followed by Griffin with 399357 votes, and Howard is fourth with 362188, squeezed out of the top three.

As soon as the votes were announced, many people who previously said that Li Yang's popularity accumulation time was too short were dumbfounded, and with Li Yang's growth rate, there is a tendency to directly throw off Griffin and Howard, which means that Li Yang is completely likely to get the starting position in the All-Star Game in two months.
