Chapter 239 Wang Feng wants to participate in the dunk contest again?
Judging from the results of the first round of All-Star voting, even if Wang Feng becomes the top vote-getter when the All-Star voting officially ends, the starting spot in the Western Conference is a certainty. In the Western Conference, other than Wang Feng, the player with the highest vote rate is Kevin.
Durant, with 760,000 votes, has advantages in scoring high. Durant averaged more than 28 points per game this season, second only to Wang Feng and Harden in the league, which gave him some boost in popularity.
become.
In contrast, Curry's personal data has declined this season, averaging only 24.8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He has also missed games recently due to injuries, 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 stars from the East and West will still be distinguished when voting, once selected for the All-Star Game, they will be disrupted by divisions and become drafted players.
, and the top vote-getters from the East and West will be elected captains respectively, and will select teammates for the All-Star Game in turn.
This idea is very good, and it has made many fans who are tired of watching the East-West war shine. The captains of the two teams will choose their teammates according to their own needs, and because the selection is in turn, each team can only choose one player.
Because of this, the game between them is also very important.
This All-Star Game system will still be used until 2022, when Wang Feng travels through the future, and it is indeed quite popular.
One week after the first round of voting results were announced, on January 13, the second round of voting results were announced.
James' fans worked hard at the last moment and took advantage of the double voting day mechanism set up by the league to rush forward and surpass Wang Feng at the last minute and become the voting king with an advantage of tens of thousands of votes.
Compared with James, Wang Feng still lacks some background. Even though many Lakers stars came forward to canvass for Wang Feng, including Kobe, Johnson and even O'Neal and other Lakers celebrities, they still failed to win in the voting.
James.
In other words, Wang Feng suffered a loss because too many fans were from China, so he was affected.
Although he failed to become the league's vote leader, Wang Feng's votes still made him the Western Conference vote leader without any suspense. The second place was Curry, who came from behind, although he successfully surpassed superstars such as Durant and Harden.
, but the difference in votes with Wang Feng is not that big.
The starting lineups selected for the Eastern and Western Conferences are as follows.
Eastern frontcourt starters: LeBron James, Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid.
Starting backcourt: DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving.
Western Conference frontcourt starters: Wang Feng, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis.
Starting backcourt: Stephen Curry, James Harden.
Although the starters for the Eastern and Western Conferences have been determined based on the voting results, under the new competition system, these players will be completely disrupted. The top vote-getters from the Eastern and Western Conferences will be drafted in order to compete on the same stage. The two teams are Team LeBron.
With the King's team.
The vote leaders in the East and West are determined to be James and Wang Feng respectively. The two teammates who won the championship together last season will actually become the East and West captains under the new All-Star game system, and there will be a fierce competition around other All-Star players. Even if it is designed
The script is not so dreamy.
The league also didn't expect that the new All-Star game system would actually have such attractions due to a strange combination of circumstances, so it simply spared no effort to vigorously promote it.
In the process, the All-Star team once again received a piece of exciting news. Following the All-Star Weekend last season, Wang Feng actually signed up for all the events for this All-Star Weekend again.
Skills challenge, three-point contest, dunk contest, and the final highlight, the All-Star Game, no one will be left behind!
What left the team in charge most speechless was that Wang Feng actually called specifically to ask if he could participate in the Masters Tournament.
How do you, an active NBA player, expect to play against a group of entertainment stars?
There are NBA stars participating in the NBA Masters, but they are all retired stars. The vast majority of the contestants are still celebrities from all walks of life. If Wang Feng, an active player and the top level star in the league, is included in the Masters
Okay, isn't that a complete game of abuse?
Without any hesitation, the All-Star team directly rejected Wang Feng’s application to participate.
Wang Feng was quite disappointed with this.
Because he felt that according to the system's custom, there would probably be rewards for winning the Masters. No matter how big the rewards were, mosquito meat was still meat.
Although he regretted not being able to participate in the Masters, he successfully registered for all three individual events.
A few days later, the media broke the news that Wang Feng had once again signed up to participate in all individual All-Star events.
"Damn?! Wang Feng is here again?"
"He really loves to join in the fun. He really participates in every competition."
"But let's not talk about it. Wang Feng signed up for three competitions last year and won two of them. Only the slam dunk contest was funny and he was the last to be eliminated. I think his dunks are only slightly better than Golden State LaVine.
How dare you run into the slam dunk contest?"
"That was last year. Wang Feng is different this year. Haven't you seen his dunks in actual games? There are all kinds of dunks and difficult dunks at your fingertips. Whenever there is a Lakers game, the top five shots of the day are
At least there will be a scene of Wang Feng dunking. If Wang Feng participates in this dunk contest, he might really win the championship!"
"Really or not? If Wang Feng also wins the slam dunk contest, he will have won all three individual events! Has any other player in the history of the league done this? No, the last Skills Challenge
Wang Feng, who has won both the three-point competition and the three-point competition, is still the favorite to win this year, and we cannot rule out the possibility of him winning all three events at the same time!"
All kinds of news make Wang Feng's popularity rise like a rocket to the sky, one after another, constantly rising!
During the voting and preparation for All-Star Weekend, the regular season games are still going on as scheduled.
The Lakers' schedule after entering January is relatively easier than it was in December. Their opponents include the Timberwolves, Thunder, Hornets, Hawks, Kings, Spurs, Mavericks and other teams. The strongest among them is the Eastern Conference.
The Celts and the Dragon.
Throughout January, the Lakers achieved a winning rate of 66.6%, winning 10 games in 15 games.
Wang Feng is as efficient as ever. In January, he averaged 32.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game. His shooting percentage dropped slightly, but still remained above 50%.
The young players of the Lakers are also constantly growing and adapting to the game, and their performance is getting better and better.
The two forwards, Ingram and Kuzma, both average around 15 points per game, and their shooting percentages are also above 45%.
Although point guard Ronzo Ball has average scoring efficiency, he still has 10 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists, which is a pretty remarkable performance.
