Chapter 192: Before the All-Star Game
February 11th.
Away game against Suns.
This game was the last game before All-Star Weekend.
And the final results of today's all-star voting have also been released.
With 2.54 million votes, LeBron James became the vote king of this year's All-Star.
In second place is Kobe Bryant, who is less than 100,000 votes away from LeBron James.
It's a pity that Kobe Bryant was forced to give up this All-Star Game due to injury.
Kobe's absence led to the All-Star Game in the starting lineup of the West, squeezed three power forwards.
They are,
With 1.8 million votes, Stoudemire became the starter.
Tim Duncan became the starter with 1.12 million votes.
Nowitzki was the starter with 1.09 million votes.
What Wang Dachun didn't expect was that his total number of votes was much higher than that of Roy.
His vote was 1.01 million votes, and he was naturally selected for the All-Star Game Western Conference bench, which is not a low number of votes.
Don't you think it's a pity that you didn't become a starter?
There is nothing to be ashamed of, because there are several people with more than 1 million votes.
On top of Wang Dachun, there are Chris Paul, Pau Gasol, and McGrady.
Roy's vote was 730,000. Like Wang Dachun, he was selected for this year's Western alternate lineup.
If Aldridge hadn't been injured, he would have had a chance to be a Western Conference All-Star this year.
If Ade is also selected, the Trident of the Trail Blazers will be considered an All-Star.
Another thing that made Wang Dachun happy was that Rose was also selected for the All-Star Game Eastern bench with 570,000 votes. The two can meet at the All-Star Game.
After the voting results came out, Wang Dachun immediately asked the system for the all-star lottery reward.
But the systematic answer is that after the All-Star Weekend, Wang Dachun's performance in the All-Star Game will be evaluated, and then the lottery will be settled.
Including if he wins the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, he will also settle it together at that time.
Wang Dachun had no choice but to wait.
……
The Suns now have a 31-21 record.
It is currently ranked 5th in the West.
They've always wanted to bring the rankings up to the forefront.
So face the Trail Blazers, who are third in the West.
They want to play at the highest level of their attack.
The Suns are playing fast-break tactics. But the least afraid of fast-break tactics in the whole league is probably the Trail Blazers.
At the beginning of the game, the Suns tried to use their team's fast pace to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Trail Blazers.
It's a pity that it didn't succeed, but was double-forked by Wang Dachun and Roy, who kept cutting the Suns' interior defense.
The pace was controlled by the Trail Blazers from the beginning of the game. The score was always in the lead.
In the face of Wang Dachun's defense, Stoudemire's offense on the inside was very difficult.
Paired with him is Robin Lopez, an interior center. But it is obvious that the defense is more than enough and the offense is insufficient.
Attacking doesn't help Stoudemire in the slightest.
Coupled with the Trail Blazers' Batum and Almi's infinite speed of switching defenses on the inside.
Let the Suns keep making mistakes on the ball. The offensive rhythm is chaotic and chaotic.
And it's easy to be hit by the Trail Blazers to fight back and break fast.
The Trail Blazers have maintained their lead over the Suns by more than 10 points.
At the end of the game, the score of both teams was 108:100. The Trail Blazers won.
Wang Dachun scored a game-high 31 points and 14 rebounds. Teammate Roy had 28 points and Miller had 20 points.
……
February 12th.
Wang Dachun and Roy traveled together to Dallas to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend.
This is the 59th NBA All-Star Weekend, and this All-Star Weekend event is co-hosted by the Mavericks, Cowboys and the City of Dallas.
The venue for the event was held at the Cowboys' Coliseum, home of the Dallas football team Cowboys.
The Cowboy Stadium was not fully completed when Wang Dachun left Dallas.
Wang Dachun has also been there, knowing that it will accommodate nearly 100,000 spectators when completed.
"It's no wonder Nowitzki would say that this year's All-Star Game is likely to be the most watched game in NBA history."
……
After Wang Dachun and Roy arrived in Dallas. First, register at the hotel designated by the organizer.
Then he and Roy made a slight adjustment in the room, and Rose, who arrived before the two of them. Get ready to go out for a walk.
Although today is the opening day of the All-Star Weekend, there is basically nothing going on with them.
Wang Dachun as half of the host. Naturally, he became a tour guide among several people.
Wang Dachun planned to take them around Chinatown first, and taste the food there by the way.
He still misses the taste here, after all, although there is Chinese food in Portland, it is not as complete as Chinatown.
After leaving Dallas for so long, Wang Dachun has never been back to Chinatown.
When the few people arrived in Chinatown, there was a boil in Chinatown.
Wang Dachun's old neighbors. Naturally, Wang Dachun was very welcome to come back to see them.
Although they know that Wang Dachun will definitely return to Chinatown after being selected as an All-Star.
But I was still very excited when I saw it, after all, Wang Dachun is a star who walked out from here.
Wang Dachun took Ross and Roy first. Go to a few old restaurants that he used to frequent.
Although I was watched by a group of people during the meal. But Wang Dachun eats very naturally. Because he knew that there were people here who really supported him.
"Brother Wang, when will you probably return to Dallas, now many fans in Dallas are reluctant to support the Mavericks anymore, and many people are looking forward to your return like me."
It was Abang who spoke, and he had been following Wang Dachun since he came to Chinatown. When he said this, many people next to him nodded their heads with expectant eyes. Waiting for Wang Dachun's reply.
Wang Dachun met everyone's eyes and said with some bitterness.
"Isn't this up to me? You know, I'm just a player, I can't make any decisions yet.
Besides, the Mavericks' current record is not bad, and there is still a chance to win the championship this year. ”
The Mavericks' recent record is really good. Since the end of the game against the Trail Blazers, it has maintained a winning streak.
"It's been said every year, but not once, and if you're still on the Mavericks, we'll believe there's a chance to win the championship." Abang said with a pout.
Wang Dachun couldn't answer this. I chatted with everyone about other topics.
Abang suggested that Wang Dachun could go back to the apartment where he used to live.
The room he used to live in since he left Dallas. It has never been rented out by the landlord again.
Instead, it was turned into an exhibition room by the landlord, and it would be more appropriate to say that it was a "former residence", or the one that charged. It was also deliberately given a name, called "The Starting Point of Superstar".
Business is also good, and there are many Chinese tourists this year, and many of them are willing to spend this money to visit here.
Wang Dachun heard Ah Bang say this. For a moment, I was thinking about whether it was time to go to the landlord and talk about the share.
In Wang Dachun's understanding, the former residence should be the residence of the deceased, right?
