Chapter Ninety-Six: All-Star First Round Voting Results
This Christmas war, which can be regarded as the focus of the battle, can be described as exciting.
Many people originally thought that this might be a battle between James and Curry, two MVPs, but no one expected that the protagonist would be Wang Feng.
In the whole game, Wang Feng played 37 minutes, 18 of 28 shots, with a shooting rate of 60%, including 10 of 15 three-point shots, plus free throws to get 50 points!
The Splash Brothers played abnormally in this game, a 14-shot 5-of-14, a 13-shot 4-of-13, and the shooting rate was only more than 30%, scoring 16 and 13 points respectively, if it wasn't for Wang Feng stepping up, this game would really be won by the Cavaliers, and the Warriors' winning streak would have stopped 28 consecutive wins.
On the other side, the Cavaliers led by James were aggressive and wanted to complete their revenge on the Warriors, James cut a triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Irving and Love also had 22 and 17 points respectively, but the game was still lost.
After the game, all kinds of news sprung up one after another.
“50+! Wang Feng scored 50 points efficiently and helped the Warriors defeat the Cavaliers to win 29 consecutive victories! ”
"The finals are back, the 3-and-D players are on the scene, and the Warriors have the last laugh."
"Wang Feng broke out, entered the 50-point club, and there is a lot of talent, how many outstanding players does the Warriors have?"
"The first Mr. 50 points from Huaguo in the history of the league, does the appearance of Wang Feng mean the rise of Huaguo basketball?"
Wang Feng shocked the world with his performance!
50 points may not be a big deal for many of the NBA's top stars, like LeBron. James, James. Top breakups like Harden have even scored more than double digits in their career 50+ points.
But for most ordinary players in the league, 50+ points is a height that is difficult to reach in a lifetime.
What's more, Wang Feng is still a Chinese player, although Wang Feng's performance on the field was also very good before, but after this battle, more people began to face up to Wang Feng's true strength and potential, and also began to be curious about the height that Wang Feng will reach in the future.
The most classic scene of this game is that Wang Feng faced James's defense, staggered and forced a shot but successfully hit it.
One is the first person in the strongest alliance who has been in the league for many years and is recognized as the strongest in the active league.
One is a fledgling sophomore and a functional role player for the team.
But Wang Feng was not afraid of James when he faced him, and even hit a shot on his head.
In today's society, there are very few people who really have time to watch a game completely, and the vast majority of them pay attention to it before the game, and then wait for the news report after the game to pay attention to what kind of statistical performance their favorite players play in this game.
Therefore, most people don't know that Wang Feng faced a far weaker defensive intensity than Curry and Thompson throughout the game, and James only defended Wang Feng's shot, and they even misunderstood, thinking that Wang Feng, who is also a small forward with James, played against James all the time and scored 50 points under James's defense!
On the other side of the ocean, Huaguo, on the same day, there was a P picture of netizens active in the forums of major sports portals.
It was a patchwork of two comparison charts, the first of which was Allen in his rookie season. Iverson shook off the classic photo of Jordan, the god of basketball, hitting a mid-range shot, and the second one was a picture of Wang Feng shooting mid-range shots in the face of James' obscuring defense.
This comparison chart is really interesting, more than ten years ago, Jordan was in full swing, but the fledgling Iverson was not afraid and had the courage to single-handedly take on the god of basketball, and then started a road of NBA legend that belonged to him.
Now that Wang Feng is not afraid of James, how similar is the scene?
As a result, Wang Feng has been on the hot search again countless times, and the popularity is even better than that of the popular little fresh meat!
The aftermath of Wang Feng's 50-point explosion is still brewing.
As of 0:00 on December 25, 2015, the NBA officially released the first round of All-Star vote statistics.
17-time NBA All-Star Kobe Bryant. Bryant is at the top of the list, and the Warriors' Stephen Brown. Curry with Cavaliers LeBron. James was second and third.
Kobe Bryant, whose strength has been greatly reduced, can become the king of the first round of voting, relying on the accumulation of popularity over the years, fans already know that this will be the last season of Kobe's career, and the power of feelings has prompted countless people to vote for Kobe.
Except for Kobe, the number of votes for other star players is not much compared to previous years, but in the position of Western forward, he has made a fortune.
Wang Feng, as a sophomore rookie, actually got 120,000 votes in the first round of All-Star voting, second only to Durant in the position of Western forward, Leonard and Griffin, ranking fourth in the West!
Behind him, there are a number of star forwards, including the Pelicans' Anthony Brown. Davis, Spurs' Aldridge and other players.
Wang Feng's popularity in the United States is so high?
The fans of Huaguo are a little stunned, is it that the power of Huaguo fans to swipe tickets is already so great now?
Since Da Yao, the coalition has modified the voting mechanism, and the number of votes in a populous country like Huaguo will be reduced proportionally, to the extent that it cannot affect the vote of the United States.
No way, this is understandable, the league doesn't want the All-Star Game to appear in the All-Star Game as the starting power forward, Sun Yue as the starting point guard This kind of nonsense incident, after all, this is the NBA, and the vote of the fans of the United States is the most important.
This kind of thing is not just reflected in the votes, but also in the All-Star Game.
Whether it is Da Yao, or Nowitzki and other national stars, they basically don't have much playing and playing time in the All-Star Game.
The reason why Wang Feng was able to get so many votes is partly because of the Warriors' canvassing work for him, since winning the championship last season, the Warriors' fans have begun to skyrocket, Curry's popularity has soared, and other players on the team have also benefited.
On the other hand, California, where the Warriors are located, is home to the largest concentration of Chinese Americans in the country, and Wang Feng's rise has quickly amassed a large number of fans here.
Although the Chinese-American are Chinese-Americans in terms of nationality, Wang Feng is a serious Chinese, but after all, they have the same skin color, and having such a Chinese player to play a famous role in the NBA will also make the vast majority of Chinese fans deeply proud.
As for some guys who get a green card and feel that they are noble citizens of the United States, they regard themselves as high-end people and look down on their former compatriots, after all, they are only a few, and they can ignore them.
It is the strong support of these Chinese-American fans and Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean that allowed Wang Feng to get such a high percentage of votes in the first round of the All-Star Poll.
Judging from this situation, Wang Feng's bold words at the beginning of the season that he was selected as an All-Star in the new season do not seem to be whimsical!
