Chapter 239: Wang Feng is going to participate in the slam dunk contest again?
Judging from the results of the first round of all-star voting, even if Wang Feng becomes the vote king at the official end of the all-star voting, the starting point in the West is also a sure thing. Durant, with 760,000 votes, has a good point for a high score, Durant has averaged more than 28 points per game this season, second only to Wang Feng and Harden in the league, which has given him some bonuses in popularity.
In contrast, Curry's stats have declined this season, averaging only 24.8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and he has recently missed the game due to injury, so he only received 730,000 votes, slightly ahead of Harden.
It is worth mentioning that during this All-Star Weekend, the league has undergone a new restructuring, although the voting will still distinguish between East and West stars, but once selected for the All-Star Game, the division will be disrupted and become a draft player, and the East and West voters will be elected captains respectively, and the teammates of the All-Star Game will be selected in turn.
This idea is very good, so that many fans who are tired of watching the East and West war are eye-catching, the captains of the two teams will choose their teammates according to their own needs, and because it is a rotational selection, each can only choose one player, so the game between each other is also very important.
This all-star game system is still in use until 2022, when Wang Feng crosses in the future, and it is indeed quite popular.
On January 13, a week after the results of the first round were announced, the results of the second round were announced.
James's fans made a strong effort at the last moment, taking advantage of the double voting day mechanism set by the league, a wave of strong rushes, surpassing Wang Feng at the last moment, and being elected as the vote king with tens of thousands of votes.
Compared with James, Wang Feng really lacks some background, even though many stars on the Lakers side have stood up to canvass for Wang Feng, including Kobe, Johnson and even O'Neal and other Lakers celebrities, but they still failed to win James in the vote.
In other words, Wang Feng suffered because too many fans came from Huaguo, so he was affected.
Although he failed to become the league vote king, Wang Feng's votes still made him the king of the Western vote without any suspense, and the second place was Curry, who came from behind, although he successfully surpassed Durant and Harden and other superstars, but the difference between the votes with Wang Feng was not a little bit bigger.
The starting line-ups selected for the East and West are as follows.
Eastern Conference frontcourt starters: LeBron. James, Antetokounmpo, Joel. Embiid.
Backfield starters: Delmar. DeRozan, Carey. Irving.
Western frontcourt starters: Wang Feng, Kevin. Durant, Anthony. Davis.
Backcourt starters: Stephen. Curry, James. Harden.
Although the starting points of the East and West are determined based on the voting results, under the new format, these players will be completely disrupted, and the East and West voters will be drafted in turn to compete on the same stage, and the two teams are LeBron and Wang.
The East and West vote kings are determined to be James and Wang Feng respectively, and the two teammates who won the championship together last season will actually become the captains of the East and West under the new All-Star system, and there will be a fierce competition around other All-Star players, even if the script is designed, it is not so dreamy.
The league didn't expect that the new All-Star format would have such a highlight under the circumstances, so it simply spared no effort to promote it.
And in this process, the All-Star team once again got a hot news, following last season's All-Star Weekend, this year's All-Star Weekend, Wang Feng actually signed up for all the projects again.
The Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest, the Slam Dunk Contest, and the final highlight of the All-Star Game, none of them will be left behind!
What made the responsible group speechless the most was that Wang Feng actually called to ask if he could participate in the celebrity competition.
How did you, an active NBA player, get the idea of playing against a group of entertainment stars?
The NBA Masters Game is attended by NBA stars, but those are retired stars, and the vast majority of the participants are still participated by celebrities from all walks of life.
Without the slightest hesitation, the all-star team directly rejected Wang Feng's application.
In this regard, Wang Feng was quite disappointed.
Because he thinks that according to the habits of the system, there will probably be rewards for winning the Celebrity Competition, no matter how much the reward is, mosquito meat is also meat.
Although unfortunately he was unable to participate in the Masters, he successfully registered for all three individual events.
A few days later, some media broke that Wang Feng signed up for all the All-Star individual events again.
"Damn?! Wang Feng is here again? ”
"He's so fond of fun, he really participates in any competition."
"But don't really say it, Wang Feng signed up for three competitions last year, and two of them won the championship, only the first one at the bottom of the funny slam dunk contest was out, and his dunk is a little better than Golden State LaVine, how dare he run to participate in the slam dunk contest?"
"That was last year, this year's Wang Feng is different, haven't you seen his dunk in the actual game? All kinds of slam dunks and difficult dunks are at your fingertips, but whenever there is a Lakers game, the top five balls of the day will have at least a shot of Wang Feng's violent dunk, if Wang Feng participates in this dunk contest, it is really possible to win the championship! ”
"Really? If Wang Feng also wins the slam dunk contest, he will have all the championships in the three individual events! Has any other player in league history ever done this? No, Wang Feng, who was the champion of the last Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Competition, is still the favorite to win the championship this time, and the possibility of him winning all three individual events at the same time cannot be ruled out! ”
All kinds of news make Wang Feng's popularity like a rocket ascending to the sky, pushing one section after another, and constantly rising!
And during the All-Star Weekend voting and preparation, the regular season games are still going on as scheduled.
The Lakers' schedule after entering January is relatively easy compared to December, and the opponents include the Timberwolves, Thunder, Hornets, Hawks, Kings, Spurs, Mavericks and other teams, among which the strongest are the Celtics and Menglong in the East.
Throughout January, the Lakers had a 66.6% win rate, winning 10 of their 15 games.
Wang Feng was as efficient as ever, averaging 32.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game in January, and his shooting percentage dropped slightly, but it still remained above 50%.
And a group of young players on the Lakers team are also constantly growing and adapting to the game, and their performance is getting better and better.
Both Ingram and Kuzma are averaging around 15 points per game and shooting above 45 percent.
And point guard Lang Left. Although Ball's scoring efficiency is average, he also has 10 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists, and his performance is quite remarkable.
