Chapter 467 The King of All-Star Tickets!
Demps replied that he would try hard.
But it is obvious that this kind of thing can't be done at once.
Time came January 24 without realizing it.
Tang Tian has basically recovered, and he participated in the team training that morning.
After the joint training, he has obtained the team doctor's permission and can play directly in the next game when he plays the Grizzlies.
It was at noon on that day that the league officially announced the final voting results for the All-Stars.
This result has attracted the attention of countless people.
In addition to who is selected, whether Tang Tian can become the All-Star vote king is also the focus of attention.
You should know that domestic fans have been crazy about being unable to vote during this period.
However, the final votes were shocked by everyone.
Eastern Conference starters: Irving (800,000 photos), Wade (890,000 photos), George (1.13 million photos), Anthony (900,000 photos), James (1.3 million photos)
Western starting lineup: Curry (960,000 photos), Kobe (1.15 million photos), Durant (1.1 million photos), Griffin (600,000 photos), Tang Tian (1.9 million photos)
Tang Tian got a total of 1.9 million votes, and became the All-Star vote king with a crushing advantage of over 600,000 more than second place James (1.3 million votes)!
The league's restrictions on voting for Chinese fans have not played any role, but instead makes the gap even bigger!
When Xiao Hua saw this result, he was confused.
This is completely different from what he expected!
On the contrary, because of the restrictions on voting in China, everyone else received fewer votes than expected!
This time, the fans on social media were completely excited.
"My Chinese friends said they couldn't vote for the All-Star vote in the past two weeks!"
"Yes, I saw a lot of Chinese students complaining on Twitter that the NBA's doing this really reduces the league's image!"
"But I want to laugh now! Because after this restriction, Tang's votes increased more than others, and much more!"
"What is the principle? Although I like this result, it looks really unreasonable!"
"I have the most say in this regard. I am a college student in Connecticut. I didn't pay much attention to this year's All-Stars, but after I heard that Tang had the opportunity to become the All-Star vote king, I voted directly. He is our pride!"
"I also have the right to speak. I'm not a fan, but because this year's NBA All-Star Game will be held in New Orleans! I, Don and AD, both voted!"
"And I, those Chinese students in China cannot vote, they forwarded this matter to Twitter. Many of their friends began to vote for Tang because they were unhappy with the NBA's approach!"
"Haha, so, is this a revenge vote?!"
"By the way the NBA did it this time, the rules were set by you. The restrictions were already too much before, and now they are still blocked!"
"Maybe they really don't want the Chinese market anymore! After all, you have made enough money!"
"When did Stern become so short-sighted?!"
"Forget it, it's better not to watch such an alliance!"
...
From the comments from fans on social media, we can see that there are many reasons for Tang Tian’s vote.
And a large part of it is indeed a retaliatory vote.
But in addition to this result itself, fans are more questioning the league's approach and the spread of negative remarks such as "It's better not to watch the NBA", and the league has encountered a very big trust crisis.
"Do you want me to put my old face down and let the alliance office choose another successor?"
In the office of the league president, Stern finally got angry with Xiao Hua.
This matter has caused great damage to the alliance image.
Xiao Hua didn't dare to say a single fart at this time. He originally thought that banning the Chinese region would have nothing to do with it, but he didn't expect that it would cause such a big reaction in China.
"I will appoint Tetm as the league's chief vice president and consult the league office to add a one-year presidential observation period. If you do something like this, they have the right to make a president change request."
Stern said directly to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua did not refute anything except gritting his teeth and nodding.
If he dares to refute at this time, Stern would really dare to give up his face and tear him apart.
The league issued an announcement the day after the All-Star vote ended.
"Due to backstage technical failure and the dereliction of duty of vote counting personnel, the league has not discovered that Chinese fans cannot vote. The league has fired relevant staff and apologized to Chinese fans for this and promised that such a situation will not happen again in the future."
This announcement is very official, but it is also a statement from the alliance.
But no matter what, after Tang Tian became the All-Star starter last year, he became the All-Star vote king this year!
This is really a footprint a year.
It is worth being the happy to be the vote king. Tang Tian invited his teammates to have a big meal that night.
However, after this meal, he temporarily threw the matter of the ticket king behind him.
The Pelicans' record was a bit bad during this period of injury, and the team re-entered the playoffs, which is the more important thing at the moment.
On January 25, the Pelicans were at home and welcomed the Grizzlies' game.
The two teams had already fought twice before, once Tang Tian fought, once Tang Tian didn't fight, and both lost.
The Grizzlies' record this season is not particularly good, but they have strong ability to fight tough battles, and because of their great inside advantage, they are a bit against the Pelicans.
In the pre-match TNT program, the Big Three discussed Tang Tian’s status after returning from injury.
"I wouldn't choose to come back in such a game, and I'll have to lose my skin even if I don't die."
Kenny Smith complained about Tang Tian’s comeback choice on the show. The Grizzlies have established a strong style of play in recent years, which really makes their opponents intimidate.
"Actually, I'm quite worried about Tang's condition. His playing style is still mainly shooting. Shoulder injury will have a great impact on this type of player."
Barkley expressed his concerns about Tang Tian in the show.
"He is not an ordinary player, I believe him."
O'Neal's speech made Barkley and Smith laugh.
Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years.
Since O'Neal lost the bet last time and wore a pink skirt, he has become a completely entangled school, and he even feels like a crazy fan.
"And they just suffered a five-game losing streak, and they really need him."
In order to hide himself, O'Neal then added.
Barkley and Smith nodded, O'Neal was right.
Tang Tian’s comeback is equivalent to the return of the backbone. Whether he can win this game is actually very important.
TNT created enough momentum for Tang Tian’s comeback battle, and this game also attracted heated discussions from fans before the game.
However, in addition to this being Tang Tian’s comeback battle, another reason is that the person who defends Tang Tian will be Tony Allen.
Allen was selected for defense for two consecutive seasons from 2011 to 2013, and is still the second only player on the league's back line to Tang Tian.
In the match between the two teams in November, Tang Tian's destiny rate was less than 40%.
The match between the two is also very interesting.
