The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 86 Voting Results
After taking a shower, he opened the door, and what Li Pu saw was a luxurious suite in the hotel. An Jiali, who was wearing pajamas, was sitting on the head of the bed.

It was already late at night, and more than two hours had passed since the game ended.

After the game, Li Pu accepted a series of interviews, and then came to the hotel where she was staying with An Jiali.

"What are you looking at?"

Climbing onto the bed, Li Pu put his arms around An Jiali's shoulders, and found that An Jiali was looking at the iPad, so he leaned his head over and asked.

"On the Reddit forum, posts about you are so popular!" An Jiali showed the tablet to Li Pu.

Reddit was founded in 22 by two 2005-year-old University of Virginia graduates, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. By 2011, it had become one of the most popular social news sites in the world.

The website has more than 3000 million news items, 370 billion page views, and more than 4000 million unique visitors.

"That Prince is awesome! At the last moment, he tipped the basket to kill the Lakers! He scored 30 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks. This is still a rookie, and it feels like the next female omen!"

"I feel that the two are not of the same type. The female Zhao Riyue is a technical type, and this Prince is more like a beast-type center!"

"Beast? What kind of beast could it be with his slender body? A giraffe?"

Seeing this comment, Li Pu's blood pressure soared a little. If it weren't for An Jiali in his arms, he would have immediately scolded the other party on the trumpet: You are the giraffe, and your whole family is a giraffe!

"I also think that Prince's skills are not good enough, but judging from his current personal performance, I still support him to enter the All-Star. Bynum is too bad!"

"I think so too. The main reason is that the centers in the West are not good. At present, only Marc Gasol and Bynum can do it! But Mark is not popular, and Bynum is not strong!"

"Where is Duncan? Isn't he playing center this season?"

"Unfortunately, the forward position he reported is currently ranked fifth in popularity in the West, and Griffin is fourth!"

When he saw these comments, Li Pu's blood pressure slowly dropped, and he just wanted to use his trumpet to comment below: You are very discerning!
"How are you, are you happy?" At this moment, An Jiali suddenly turned her head to look at Li Pu and said with a smile.

"How is it possible? Isn't this the truth? I have nothing to be happy about!" Li Pu insisted.

"Really? It's up to you!" Saying that, An Jiali put down the tablet, put her arms around Li Pu and kissed her.

Then, before Li Pu was about to make a move, An Jiali suddenly let go of Li Pu, stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower!"

However, Li Pu grabbed his wrist and pulled him back!

If you want to run, there is no way!

So that night, Li Pu and An Jiali had a fierce basketball match.

An Jiali tried her best to defend regardless of whether she was behind or facing the frame, but Li Pu frequently attacked the basket and dunked.

This is not only a test of Li Pu's singles ability, but also a test of his ability to hold the ball and shoot the ball!

Fortunately, Li Pu is very talented and full of stamina. Although he just had a battle with the Lakers at night, he did not lose the slightest bit in the one-on-one duel with An Jiali in the middle of the night.

Even after the end of the four quarters, he was still unsatisfied, and took the initiative to apply for overtime to play, completely defeated An Jiali, and won the final game.

……

I thought that after killing the Lakers, the Thunder would start another winning streak, but I didn't expect that two days later, they would encounter Waterloo in Minnesota.

In this game, Michael Beasley and Kevin Love both broke out, and the two teamed up to score 61 points.

Beasley, in particular, saw Durant go crazy, first with a layup at the end of the fourth quarter, and the game was dragged into overtime.

Then in overtime, he hit a mid-range jumper against Durant and completed the lore!

Maybe, this is love!
At 119:118, the Thunder had just taken second place in the Western Conference, and then they were caught up by the Lakers.

Although suffered a defeat in Minnesota, fortunately, it did not affect the momentum of the Thunder.

After entering February, the Thunder defeated the Hornets, Suns, Jazz and Warriors successively, and then lost to the Heat on February 2th.

In this game, the Big Three of the Heat combined to score 75 points, while the Thunder did not give up much. Durant, Westbrook and Li Pu scored 77 points together.

It's a pity that at the last moment, Eddie House received an assist from James and hit a three-pointer.

For the Thunder, Durant hit the iron with two points, Wade grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Li Pu could only foul.

With Wade making two free throws, Westbrook made a pass error, Harden fouled again, and the game lost its suspense.

At 108:103, the Thunder lost to the Heat, and the four-game winning streak was ended.

The day after losing to the Heat, the Thunder flew back to back away from Miami to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies with black and white bears are definitely a tough nut to crack.

The Thunder, which had just fought against the Big Three for four quarters yesterday, will fight the Grizzlies again tonight into overtime.

In the end, with Michael Conley making two free throws, Westbrook hit the iron with a three-pointer. The Grizzlies narrowly beat the Thunder 105:101 in overtime. While sending the Thunder to two consecutive losses, it also allowed the Thunder to secure the third position in the Western Conference. .

In this game, Li Pu did not perform well, scoring only 8 points and 9 rebounds. Both offense and defense were extremely restricted by the black and white bears.

Fortunately, the result of this game has little impact on Li Pu's entry into the All-Star Game, because there is only one game left before the All-Star Game begins.

Finally, on February 2, the second day after Valentine's Day, after the Thunder beat the Kings, it finally ushered in the All-Star Weekend.

At this time, the All-Star starting voting and finally came to an end, and the starting stars of the East and West were determined.

Eastern Conference starters: Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Amare Stoudemire and Dwight Howard.

The starting lineup for the Western Conference is: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Li Pu.

That's right, what people didn't expect was that Li Pu actually made the All-Star starter.

In the popularity vote, Li Pu finally ranked third in the West with 131 million votes, second only to Kobe's 238 million votes and Durant's 178 million votes.

For this result, everyone is not surprised. After all, the female Zhao Riyue rookie season also won 128 million votes.

Surprisingly, a large part of these votes were not voted by Huaxia fans, but local fans of Ugly Country.

It turned out that as the Thunder became more and more famous, Li Pu, as the starting center of the Thunder, also gained a lot of attention. His explosive style of play and mouth-watering talent really allowed him to harvest a large number of local fans in ugly countries. .

If it's just popularity, Li Pu won't be able to enter the starting lineup.

In the media voting and player voting, Li Pu ranked second, which is weaker than Bynum. The key is that Bynum was injured before the All-Star Game, so he missed the All-Star Game.

Ever since, after the votes were added up, Li Pu led the other centers in the West like a cliff.

In this way, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate. Li Pu was successfully elected as the All-Star starting center.

　Well, happy Valentine's Day everyone!
