The Knicks attacked, Duhong advanced with the ball, and Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly rushed over to press.

Du Hong quickly passed the ball in desperation, but was intercepted by Maggette.

The Clippers made another quick counterattack, forcing the Knicks to call a timeout and make substitutions and tactical adjustments.

"Why are you still struggling? Doesn't it give you face to pretend that you're not in trouble?"

Barkley complained.

It's not a bad team, but the result is still last, which is more embarrassing than a bad team.

"It's a pity that their struggle is meaningless."

Smith said.

The timeout ends and both sides return to the court.

The Knicks attacked and they played a tactical coordination.

Strictly speaking, this is almost their first tactical cooperation in this game. Before, the players took turns playing singles.

If it weren't for Harrington's explosiveness and David Lee's efficiency, they would have been defeated long ago.

Kunyan Richardson helped Harrington block the passer. Harrington sneaked into the bottom corner to catch the ball and scored.

96 to 95.

When the Clippers attacked, they also used a tactic, with Zhang Zhiyuan and DeAndre Jordan picking and rolling.

Then Zhang Zhiyuan broke through David Lee and easily scored two points.

98 to 95.

The Knicks attacked, but it was Harrington who took action, and the result was solid this time.

During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan seized the opportunity and threw in a three-pointer.

101 to 95.

The score difference reached six points, and the Knicks players began to get discouraged.

Although theoretically there is great hope of chasing six points, they have lost this confidence.

Of course, on the surface, the audience can't really see it. They just feel that the team's touch is declining and the Clippers' players are exerting their strength.

After a few rounds, the score difference reached double digits.

The shouts at the scene gradually subsided, and there was no longer any interest.

The two sides continued to play for the rest of the time, and the Clippers won the game without any danger.

117 to 108, the Clippers won by 9 points, which is not much.

In terms of statistics, Harrington made 11 of 19 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 30 points off the bench.

David Lee made 10 of 16 shots and 9 of 11 free throws, scoring 29 points.

Except for the two of them, no one else in the Knicks scored in double figures, and their efficiency was low.

In this match between Harrington and David Lee, I can confidently say that they can't carry each other.

For the Clippers, Zhang Zhiyuan scored a game-high 44 points, and also had 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Maggette scored 21 points, and the two scored 65 together. The effect was almost the same as when Zhang Zhiyuan was with the Lakers.

Some fans said that this is a new two-star combination, but this statement was ridiculed by countless people as soon as it was proposed.

One averages 40 per game and the other averages 20 per game, which is more than double the difference. It is obviously inappropriate to tie the two of them.

Therefore, in the eyes of most fans, the Clippers are still single-core.

On January 3, the league announced the results of a new round of All-Star voting.

Zhang Zhiyuan won the vote again, with a total of 3.2 million votes.

Considering that there are two rounds of voting to come, this number will increase and should be able to break the record of 4.43 million votes he set last year.

As for the Western Conference center position, Yao Ming ranked first with 2 million votes.

O'Neal received 1.4 million votes, and his popularity remains the same as before.

Of course, his strength is not bad. This year's data has improved compared to when he was with the Heat, averaging 188 per game.

It is not easy for him to obtain this data at his age.

Bynum benefited from the team's record and high exposure, ranking third with 1.1 million votes.

Thanks to being Zhang Zhiyuan's teammate, Kaman finished fourth with 920,000 votes with single-digit points and single-digit rebounds.

The number of votes dropped sharply after the four of them, with Okur in fifth only having 280,000, and even Greg Oden in sixth, who averaged only 8.9 points and 7 rebounds per game.

Although Greg Oden has been injured for more than a season, and although he only has 9 points and 7 rebounds, fans are still optimistic about his talent and future.

There is a scarcity of powerful centers in the league, and except for Howard and Yao Ming, others are not very good.

Compared with the center, the competition for the back line is much more intense.

Zhang Zhiyuan ranked first with 3.2 million votes, Kobe Bryant ranked second with 1.6 million votes, and Chris Paul ranked third with 1.2 million votes.

One of these three people will inevitably fall out of the starting lineup. Judging from the current trend, Paul will most likely be in tragedy.

With Paul's strength and team leadership performance, he deserves a starting position, but there are two big mountains ahead of him.

Ginobili, Nash, and Parker ranked fourth to sixth respectively.

The battle for the front line is not easy either.

Thanks to the votes of Chinese fans, Maggette temporarily ranked first with 1.3 million votes, beating Anthony.

Anthony ranked second with 1.25 million votes.

In terms of team record, the Nuggets only lost 2 more games than the Clippers. In terms of statistics, Anthony is much better than Maggette. In terms of team status, one is the boss and the other is the second.

However, Maggette still suppressed him and kept him from reasoning.

Anthony's fans were very angry about this and jointly asked the league to stop accepting overseas votes, saying it was unfair to some stars.

With China’s population of more than one billion, other countries simply can’t finish it.

Not only Anthony's fans are protesting, but Duncan's fans are also protesting.

After all, Anthony was only pushed one end, but he could still get the starting position, while Duncan was about to fall out of the starting lineup because of Maggette's sudden emergence.

In the hearts of North American fans, Maggette is not worthy of even carrying Duncan's shoes, so why should he be in the starting lineup?

The same tragedy is Stoudemire. He is already the boss of the Suns and has good statistics, but he only ranked fourth.

This year's All-Star Game was held in Phoenix. As the home team, Stoudemire did not get a starting position, which was quite embarrassing.

Moreover, he may not be able to be selected as a substitute. After all, there are too many forward talents in the Western Conference.

Stoudemire, Duncan, Nowitzki, Gasol, Artest, Aldridge and Scola competed for two spots.

The competition in the Western Conference is fierce, and many heavyweight stars will not be drafted.

In comparison, the east is much more harmonious.

At the center position, Howard excels.

Ranked 2-4 are Perkins, Rasheed, Dalembert, and Bogut.

Perkins averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, Rasheed 12 points and 7 rebounds, Dalembert 6 points and 8 rebounds, and Bogut 11 points and 10 rebounds.

All of them are crooked, and the coach responsible for selecting substitutes will burst into tears when he sees the four of them. He has no choice at all, and everyone will be embarrassed.

The same is true in the original time and space. There was no backup center in the Eastern Conference, and those coaches directly selected a power forward.

The same goes for the battle at the back. Wade is far ahead, and the others behind him are not doing well.

Ranked 2-6 are Iverson, Carter, Harris, Ray Allen, and Reynold.

Iverson started to play as a substitute in the Pistons, but he was also selected as the starting lineup. Chris Paul cried and fainted in the bathroom, and he was in the West but his heart was in the East.

It's a joke that Carter is ranked third. He was beaten by Zhang Zhiyuan until he had a conflict with the team and publicly asked to be traded.

Being ranked third is not because of his good statistics and popularity, it's just because of the lack of competition.

Although Ray Allen's Celtics have a good record, the Big Three's evaluation plummeted due to their failure to win the championship. It was also revealed that he did not get along with the team, and his popularity dropped again.

As for the sixth-ranked Reinold, who knows how he got to the sixth position? This is a guy who averages 9.6 points and 5 assists per game, and his Bucks team is also at the bottom of the league.

On the front line, the "star color" in the east is slightly less ugly, but it is not comparable to that in the west.

Ranking first is James, with 1.8 million votes.

Second place is Garnett, with 900,000 votes.

Yi Jianlian ranked third with 870,000.

This number of votes not only illustrates the power of Chinese fans, but also illustrates the importance of strength.

Because there are so many Chinese fans, Yi Jianlian's performance can be ranked third. And even with a population of 1 billion, Yi Jianlian cannot be promoted to the starting lineup, which also shows that performance of strength is very important.

If you don't play well, even if you are Chinese, no one will look down on you.
