February 1.

February will be followed by the unveiling of the All-Star starting lineup.

On January 31, the fourth phase of the All-Star starting voting officially came to an end, and the ten All-Star players for this year's All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles were officially announced.

The results are the same as those of the first stage.

The Eastern Conference defenders were first and second with Allen Iverson and Maddy.

Cleveland and LeBron James's 9 teams are really hard enough, and after the third phase of voting, they specially gave LeBron James round after round of canvassing, which is almost the same as the election.

In the end, LeBron also received the most single-stage votes of 430,000 in the entire fourth stage in the fourth stage.

In the fourth period, he squeezed out Tracy McGrady to become the second in the fourth stage of the back line.

Ouou

But in terms of the total number of votes, he is still about 500,000 votes behind Maddie, which makes him only in third place in the end.

In the forward position, Vince Carter and Woody are the final first and second.

The center position belongs to Ben Wallace, the league's "inspirational representative".

In the West, the two men on the guard line are Kobe Bryant and Steve Francis, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan at the forward position, and Yao Ming at the center position.

Vince Carter is the ultimate "King of Votes."

After ceding the final spot for Michael Jordan last season, he is back in the "Ticket King" position.

This is also the fourth time he has won the "Ticket King" in the last 5 years, which shows how far-reaching the impact of the 00 slam dunk contest has on him.

In addition, a historic moment was officially born, with the NBA All-Star Weekend seeing two Chinese players become All-Star starters for the first time.

Woody even became the first Chinese high school student All-Star.

Bill Simmons scoffed, "It's all thanks to his skin!" "Oh oh oh? 9

Didn't wait for Woody, who is the main master, to respond to him? The League officials conveniently announced the entire percentage of Woody's votes.

Among them, the number of votes from the United States is as high as 60%!

In other words, of the nearly 1.8 million votes Woody received, at least 1.2 million votes came from the United States.

Only 40% of the proportion is from China.

This percentage is a bit higher than that of other players in the United States.

American players are generally around 30 percent, but only 10 percent higher is not outrageous.

And after removing the 180,000 votes, Woody is still the second in the forward position!

This data alone is enough to show that Woody can become an All-Star starter, not just because of his yellow skin, but because he has indeed caused a wave of enthusiasm exclusive to him!

And after this report, the slightest suspicion about Woody suddenly disappeared.

After the results were revealed, the Miami media also made various headlines to celebrate Woody as an All-Star starter.

You know, in the history of the Heat, no player has ever been an All-Star starter in his rookie season!

Now, Woody has filled in the void for them!

And this is the first time Woody has helped them fill the gap in this regard.

Let's put it this way, in the halfway season, Woody's performance is definitely at the level of "best rookie" in the history of the Heat!

It's just that in this way, Wade is a little embarrassed.

He didn't have a sense of existence in the first place, but now he has no sense of existence.

Speaking of which, he played against the New York Knicks yesterday and he performed very well.

got 20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

50% shooting!

Now it's just that in the face of this kind of team that is not very strong, Wade's performance is very bright.

In other words, this person has a hand in abusing vegetables!

Supposedly, this rookie can do this kind of thing, which is not bad.

Look at the "pride of the sky", Woody's "good brother" LeBron, isn't it now that he can only catch the weak team to get wool?

But who made his teammate Woody?

Since entering the league, Wade has been overshadowed by Woody's light.

Now with Woody as an All-Star starter, Wade has become a curtain directly.

Although there were reporters who interviewed him, the problems were all related to Woody.

The most annoying thing is to ask him: "What do you think about Woody becoming an All-Star starter in his first year in the league?" ”

What do I think?

What can I think?

I'm just watching it at home!

Where else can I go?

Could it be that I'm still scratching my face to get a free ticket from Woody?

But this time, it's not just Wade who is under pressure, but also other rookies in the same class.

Carmelo Anthony also didn't play today, but the Nuggets developed the locker room today, and the first question this reporter asked was "what do you think about the controversy that caused Woody when he became an All-Star starter." ”

Carmelo Anthony said: "When it comes to his influence, such things are inevitable, but the results prove everything, he definitely deserves this place, he is such an influential rookie, and his performance so far is also phenomenal!" ”

The words are filled with such emotions:

This dude is awesome!

He was calm, because he knew that Woody would definitely boast back.

Compared to him, LeBron James is struggling.

His agent, Alan Goodman, persuaded bitterly: "Son, you must congratulate him, so that you can express your open-mindedness, and you don't want others to think that you are inconsistent, right?" ”

After some preaching, LeBron reluctantly took out his mobile phone and posted his congratulations to Woody on the Facebook that had just been launched: "Today is the day my brother is officially confirmed to be an All-Star starter!" Wow, wow, bro! Dude, I can't describe how proud you are, we walked out of Akron together, and now you're in the All-Star starter, it's really awesome! Congratulations, hard of hard, love you kid! This is Woody County! ”

Oh oh:

Originally, he wanted to talk about Woody Country, but changed it to County.

After all, how could he, the "king", call another person "king"?

Even if this person is his "good brother", that will not work!

Facebook had just been launched at this time, and there weren't many users yet, but because LeBron posted such a news during this time period, it instantly attracted the attention of the media across the league.

Many media have reported this news, and sports news on some platforms have chosen the form of insertion, which shows the heat of Woody becoming an All-Star starter.

"You'll have to get back to him." Johnson made a special call to Woody.

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Wu Liandi immediately registered a Facebook account when he saw the news, and replied to LeBron:

"Thanks, bro, I'll be waiting for you at All-Star Weekend, and I'm sure you'll be one of them in the future!"

After replying to such a paragraph, Woody felt refreshed.

He doesn't know why he's so cool, but he's just cool!

Even the software of Facebook felt pleasing to the eye, and after thinking about it, he called Johnson: "Erwin, look at this software company called Facebook, is there any possibility of investment......

If he needed money, Woody wanted to buy some shares in the software.

On February 2, the league announced the prizes for the month.

The "January Player of the Month" award in the East belongs to O'Neal Jr.

He averaged 20.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game.

The Pacers finished with a 10-5 record in January under his leadership.

This is the second time this season that he has won the Player of the Month award.

With an average of 16.5 points, 15.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, Woody was once again selected as an alternate for the "Eastern Conference Player of the Month Award" in January.

Although he unfortunately missed out on the "Player of the Month" award, Woody received the "Player of the Week" award for the last week of January on the same day.

This is the third time in Woody's career that he has won the Player of the Week award.

The decisive game was naturally the game where the Heat hosted the Cavaliers......

LeBron, "good buddy"!

Since coming to the league, Woody has become more and more aware of the importance of LeBron James to him!

Not to mention his contribution to the two "Player of the Week Awards", after the civil war of the "St. Mary's Twin Stars", Woody once again completely trampled LeBron under his feet in the voice of public opinion, and won the "Rookie of the Month Award of January" very smoothly!

So far, Woody has won 3 "Rookie of the Month Awards", and there are only 2 natural months left in this season, and LeBron James is destined to not be able to surpass Woody in this award.

The momentum of the LeBron team and the Cleveland media is a little weaker.

In the West, the "Player of the Month Award" still belongs to Kevin Garnett.

In January, the Timberwolves continued their strong streak and had the fewest losses in the entire league.

Kevin Garnett is still in his standout form.

He averaged 24.6 points, 13.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

After winning this "best of the month", Kevin Garnett also climbed to the first place on the regular season MVP list this season.

He is expected to win his first regular season MVP trophy.

The Timberwolves have changed dramatically, and he himself has played the best form of his career, which makes the "Wolves" feel like he has suffered a lot, and his attitude when talking about the team is very different from the beginning of the season.

The Timberwolves don't have harmony on the inside.

At the beginning of the closed training camp, there was news that the "sugar man" and his teammates were abusing each other in the intra-team competition.

Other people also don't like each other.

It is not surprising that this "alien" Kassel, "madman", "sugar man" ...... None of them are fuel-efficient lamps, otherwise why would the media be so unoptimistic about the Timberwolves after making these deals in the summer?

Coincidentally, it is interesting that the Lakers, who are currently second in the West, are also full of internal contradictions, even worse than the Timberwolves, but they can still continue to win in the West.

These two teams have left some of the experts confused.

ESPN even held a "roundtable" to discuss whether the atmosphere in the team would affect a team's good record.

Kevin Garnett's tone changed, and when he said about the team again, he said: "We may not be the best group of people to get together, we all have our problems, but we all know what is the right thing to do, and that's our current attitude towards the game, which has supported us to get to the top of the West, and it will also support us to keep going!" ”

The "Rookie of the Month" award in the West still belongs to Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony is also the weakest "strong rookie" in NBA history......

He is said to be "strong" because he, like Woody, has won the "Rookie of the Month" award three times in a row!

Woody contracted the "Rookie of the Month" in the East and he contracted the "Rookie of the Month" in the West......

But just like some people who win the overall scoring title, you will feel that he is just playing for a long time, accumulating over time.

Winning the "Rookie of the Month" for a second time is also different.

Compared with Woody, in the eyes of most media, Carmelo Anthony is less difficult to win this re-election.

Therefore, he appears to be very weak.

In the afternoon of the same day, the league announced this year's All-Star bench.

The list of the three major challenge events was also announced.

On the Heat's side, no other players were selected except for Woody.

This caused incomprehension in the Miami media:

We're third in the East!

Why was it selected for 1!

But when they saw the list, they silently shut up.

In addition to Woody, the Heat's best stats are Wade.

It's just that he really doesn't have much advantage against Baron Davis, Paul Pearce, Michael Reed, and Artest.

In addition, he is a rookie, and it is even more difficult to be selected.

Didn't you look at Woody's "good brother" who averaged 20 plus 4 plus 4 per game, and couldn't be selected?

Of course, LeBron James' problem isn't just a lack of data......

Team results are his most problem!

In addition, the list of "Slam Dunk Contest" caused a lot of movement after it came out. ：

A lot of fans were disappointed with the list.

The list of this year's slam dunk contest is:

Fred Jones, Jason Richardson, Chris Anderson, Ricky Davis.

The biggest name among them is Jason Richardson.

But none of them are All-Star caliber stars.

Poor visibility is one thing, but the biggest disappointment for fans is ......

Prior to this, there were once media rumors that "St. Mary's Twins" Woody and LeBron would participate in this year's slam dunk contest and stage a "brother fight".

This moment filled the fans' sense of anticipation.

Not to mention the physical fitness of these two people, LeBron James won the ultimate "slam dunk king" at last year's McDonald's All-Star Weekend.

Some media even believe that this will be a grand occasion comparable to the 00 slam dunk contest.

They were very happy, but as a result, not to mention the "St. Mary's Gemini" civil war, neither of these two people participated!

Woody received an invitation to the slam dunk contest, but after thinking about it, he chose to decline.

He still needs more time to rest.

He was already very busy this All-Star Weekend, first the Rookie Challenge, then the All-Star Game, three days, and at least one day to rest, so he refused.

The main thing is that he didn't think about participating in the slam dunk contest.

Can Woody's "star disease", if he is on such a stage, it is not the result of winning the championship, so why is there any need to participate?
