Chapter 96 Results of the First Round of All-Star Voting
This Christmas battle, which can be regarded as the focus of the battle, was exciting throughout.
Many people originally thought that this might be a battle between the two MVPs, James and Curry, but no one expected that the protagonist would be Wang Feng.
In the entire game, Wang Feng played 37 minutes and made 18 of 28 shots, with a shooting percentage of 60%, including 10 of 15 three-pointers. Including free throws, he scored exactly 50 points!
The Splash Brothers performed abnormally in this game. One made 5 of 14 shots and the other 4 of 13 shots. Their shooting percentages were only over 30%. They scored 16 points and 13 points respectively. If Wang Feng had not stepped forward, this game might have been eliminated by the Cavaliers.
If it is won, the Warriors' winning streak will stop at 28 consecutive victories.
On the other side, the Cavaliers led by James were aggressive and wanted to complete their revenge against the Warriors. James scored a triple-double of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Irving and Love also had 22 points and 17 points respectively, but the game was still
Lost.
After the game, all kinds of news sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"50+! Wang Feng scored 50 points efficiently, helping the Warriors defeat the Cavaliers and win 29 consecutive games!"
"The finals reappeared, 3D players made a strong appearance, and the Warriors had the last laugh."
"Wang Feng broke out and entered the 50-point club. There are so many talents. How many outstanding players do the Warriors have?"
"The first 50-point player from China in the history of the league. Does Wang Feng's appearance mean the rise of Chinese basketball?"
Wang Feng shocked the world with his performance!
50 points may not be a big deal to many of the top stars in the NBA. Top players such as LeBron James and James Harden have even scored 50+ points more than double digits in their careers.
But for most ordinary players in the league, 50+ points is a level that is difficult to reach in their lifetime.
What's more, Wang Feng is still a Chinese player. Although Wang Feng's previous performance on the court was also very good, after this battle, more people began to face up to Wang Feng's true strength and potential, and began to wonder what Wang Feng will be in the future.
the height reached.
The most classic scene in this game is when Wang Feng faced James' defense and staggered to force a shot but succeeded in hitting it.
One is the one who has been in the Alliance for many years and is recognized as the strongest player in the current alliance.
One is a fledgling second-year rookie, a functional role player for the team.
But Wang Feng showed no fear when facing James and even hit a shot over his head.
In today's society, very few people really have time to watch a game in its entirety. Most people just pay attention before the game, then read the news reports after the game, and pay attention to how their favorite players performed in the game.
data performance.
Therefore, most people don't know that Wang Feng faced a defense that was far weaker than Curry and Thompson throughout the game. James only defended Wang Feng's shot. They even misunderstood and thought that he was the same as James.
Small forward Wang Feng faced off against James throughout the game and scored 50 points under James' defense!
On the other side of the ocean, in China, a netizen's photo was active in the forums of major sports portals that day.
It was a spliced picture of two comparison pictures. The first picture was a classic picture of Allen Iverson in his rookie season when he knocked away the God of Basketball Jordan and hit a mid-range shot. The second picture was of Wang Feng facing James as if he was blocking the sky.
The picture of the defensive shot hitting the mid-range shot.
This comparison chart is really interesting. More than ten years ago, Jordan was at the peak of his power, but Iverson, who was just starting out, was not afraid and had the courage to challenge the God of Basketball, and then started a journey of his own NBA legend.
Now Wang Feng is unafraid when facing James. How similar is the scene?
As a result, Wang Feng has been on the hot search again countless times, even more popular than the popular little fresh meat!
The aftermath of Wang Feng's 50-point score is still brewing.
As of 0:00 on December 25, 2015, the NBA officially released the first round All-Star vote statistics.
Kobe Bryant, who has been selected to the NBA All-Star team 17 times, tops the list, followed by Stephen Curry of the Warriors and LeBron James of the Cavaliers.
Kobe, whose strength has been greatly reduced, can become the first-round vote winner because of his accumulation of popularity over the years. Fans already know that this will be the last season of Kobe's career. The power of emotion has motivated countless people to rush to vote for Kobe.
.
Except for Kobe, the number of votes received by other star players was similar to previous years, but Cheng Yaojin emerged as the Western Conference forward.
Wang Feng, as a second-year rookie, actually received 120,000 votes in the first round of All-Star voting. He is second only to Durant, Leonard and Griffin in the Western Conference forward position, ranking fourth in the Western Conference!
Behind him are a number of star forwards, including the Pelicans' Anthony Davis, the Spurs' Aldridge and other players.
Is Wang Feng so popular in the United States?
The Chinese fans were a little shocked. Are Chinese fans now so powerful in swiping votes?
Since Dayao, the alliance has modified the voting mechanism. For a country with a large population like China, the number of votes will be proportionally reduced to the point where it cannot affect the American vote.
There is no way, and this is understandable. The league does not want to see the All-Star game with UAE as the starting power forward and Sun Yue as the starting point guard. This is the NBA after all, and the votes of American fans are the most important.
This kind of thing is not only reflected in voting, but also in the All-Star game.
Whether it's Yao Yao or Nowitzki and other stars from other countries, they basically won't have much playing time in the All-Star Game.
The reason why Wang Feng was able to get so many votes was partly due to the canvassing work carried out by the Warriors. Since winning the championship last season, the number of Warriors fans has begun to skyrocket. Curry's popularity has soared, which has led to other players in the team.
Benefit.
On the other hand, California, where the Warriors are located, has the largest concentration of Chinese Americans in the United States, and Wang Feng's rise has quickly accumulated a large number of fans here.
Although Chinese Americans are Americans by nationality, and Wang Feng is a serious Chinese, after all, they have the same skin color. Having such a Chinese player make a name for himself in the NBA will also make the vast majority of Chinese fans
We are deeply proud.
As for some people who have received green cards from the United States and feel that they are noble American citizens, and instead regard themselves as high-end people and look down on their former compatriots, after all, they are only a minority and should be ignored.
It was the strong support of these Chinese-American fans and Chinese fans across the ocean that allowed Wang Feng to obtain such a high vote rate in the first round of the All-Star voting.
Judging from this situation, Wang Feng's bold statement at the beginning of the season that he would be selected as an All-Star in the new season does not seem to be out of the blue!
