NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 97 All-Star First Round Voting Announced (25)

The NBA All-Star Game, an annual entertainment exhibition game, is one of the fans' favorite shows.

At the All-Stars, you can see the big guys from each team gather together, divided into the East and West teams to compete against each other and fight for their own division.

In 2013, the NBA All-Star Game was still a relatively competitive game, completely different from the soft All-Star Games after the 20s where 100 three-pointers were shot in one game.

(The score of the East and West in the 24th All-Star Game was 211:186. The two teams took a total of 168 three-point shots and made 67 of them. It is conceivable that there was no intensity at all. It became a pure catwalk performance.)
Time flies and it is now December 2012, 12. Today is also the day when the results of the first round of NBA All-Star voting will be announced.

Today is also the day when the Thunder will face the Kings at home.

Lying on the big bed at home, Lin Chuan comfortably opened the NBA official website.

He was really looking forward to it, wondering how many votes he would get from all the Chinese fans behind him.

If there are a lot of votes, Lin Chuan will be in a good mood. In order to satisfy the fans who voted, he will beat the Kings today.

If there are few votes, Lin Chuan will be in a bad mood. In order to let the fans see his strength worthy of being a starter in the Western Conference All-Star Game, he will severely ravage the Kings.

First round of voting:
Lin Chuan: 784375 votes.

Kobe Bryant: 639419 votes

Kevin Durant: 605965 votes

Seeing that he was the first, Lin Chuan happily pumped his fist and cheered.

In his second year, he finally made a name for himself. With the help of his hometown fans, he was voted first!
"Nice! I've definitely won the ticket for this year!"

Seeing Durant ranked third, Lin Chuan knew that he could tease him again. As the leader of the team, he was not even ranked higher than the rookies in the team. It was not decent.

Continuing to look down, after the first three were all Western players, the 4th and 5th places finally went to Eastern players.

Carmelo Anthony: 573112 votes

LeBron James: 452641 votes

"Wow, James has fallen so low."

Seeing the somewhat unexpected voting results, Lin Chuan sat up.

As I recall, James' All-Star voting score this season was only slightly lower than Kobe's. I didn't expect that he would drop directly to fifth place this time because of his appearance. It would be fine if he was not as good as Durant, but he was not even better than Anthony of the same class.

"Tsk tsk tsk, James' consecutive championship losses disgusted the Heat fans, and he didn't play in the Olympic finals, and the US team didn't even win the championship. This time, he was hated by fans all over the US, and the passerby fan base he had accumulated with great difficulty was also lost. Now he can still get more than 40 votes, it seems that he still has a lot of die-hard fans."

In the next ten miles, Lin Chuan also saw Jeremy Lin. It seemed that he was able to make the shot because there were enough Chinese fans.

In the first round, he received more than 30 votes, only 4 to 5 votes less than Paul.

Maybe in the end Paul will be squeezed out to the bench by Jeremy Lin, and there will be two Chinese starting players in the Western Conference All-Star Game.

And if Westbrook and Ibaka can get some votes, maybe the starting lineup for the Western Conference will be the four of them plus Jeremy Lin.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan touched his chin. It would be quite interesting if this was true.

Then he opened Twitter to vote for himself and his teammates, Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, and at the end he also canvassed for Jeremy Lin. After reading the votes and posting the tweets, Lin Chuan stretched himself and was in a good mood.

I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive and voted for him first place right away. It depends on what people thought before the vote.

The evening game started as scheduled, and the Kings' center was the rookie Cousins.

Lin Chuan still remembers that in the later period, Cousins, the big center, also started to play all kinds of tricks of passing and dribbling. In his peak period, he even averaged more than five assists per game. He was like a point guard trapped in the body of a center, but his efficiency was not high.

Let Lin Chuan enlighten this fancy center in advance! Let him see what an all-around center is!
Although the Kings have Evans, an all-around player who scored 20+5+5 in his rookie season, Cousins, a future All-Star center, and Isaiah Thomas, they had no means of restraining Lin Chuan who was determined to defeat them today and were easily defeated.

In this game, the Thunder faced the Sacramento Kings who came from afar, and won the game 132:102, a big score of 30 points over the Kings.

林川本场出手27次，命中18球，命中率高达67%，全场砍下41分17篮板6助攻2断5帽。

The exaggerated and efficient performance also made the media exclaim after the game that Chamberlain has been reincarnated and is going to dominate the entire league!

In this game, Cousins ​​was numbed by Lin Chuan's military training. He made 12 of 3 shots and only got 9 points and 5 rebounds.

Cousins' offensive choices under the basket were indeed problematic. Three of Lin Chuan's five blocks were given to him, and the remaining two were given to the 5-centimeter-tall Thomas who broke into the inside.

Isaiah Thomas' shooting point was too low, so Lin Chuan didn't even need to jump or raise his hands as high as he could to block the shot.

However, even though he was blocked twice, his efficiency was still the highest among the Kings in this game.

He played as the sixth man for 16 minutes, scored 13 points efficiently with 10 of 26 shots, but it was still difficult to have enough impact on the situation.

After beating the Kings, Lin Chuan didn't even sweat too much. After the game, he even pulled Durant to see his car.

Lin Chuan also discovered by chance that Durant's car is a Ferrari California, and he has more than one car, including a Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS and a Camaro SS.

Lin Chuan was so envious that he insisted on trying his car.

Durant had no choice but to agree because Lin Chuan kept pestering him.

"Lin, cars aren't expensive. If you like it, just buy it yourself."

Durant, who was sitting in the passenger seat and watching Lin Chuan touching things curiously, complained while starting the car.

"Am I the same as you? The contract is so small that I will go bankrupt if I buy a car!"

Lin Chuan touched it up and down, and seemed to be reluctant to let it go, so he didn't even bother to answer Durant's questions.

Durant touched his chin and thought for a moment.
"Okay, I'll give you one in a few days! Just consider it as a Christmas present for you."

"Fuck, is this true, bro?"

Hearing Durant's arrogant words, Lin Chuan was so excited that he spoke Chinese. He didn't even bother to look at the car, and immediately grabbed Durant's hands, his eyes full of affection, which made Durant's hair stand on end, and he pulled his hands away.

"Really? I can buy you a Ferrari 458 for only $25. It's a piece of cake. It's much cheaper than the first championship."

法拉利458，4.5升，V8发动机，0-100只需要3.4秒！
It’s ten thousand times better than his current second-hand Volkswagen!
Lin Chuan did not care about the word "only" in Durant's mouth. At this moment, he looked at Durant and felt that this person suddenly became more and more pleasing to the eye. He looked a little handsome, no, very handsome!
