Chapter 1009: A Definite All-Star Starter
The annual All-Star Weekend is the highlight of the NBA, second only to the finals in terms of excitement.

In fact, compared to the tension and solemnity of the finals, the All-Star Weekend is much more relaxed, so that fans don't have to worry about the outcome of the game, but only need to feast their eyes and watch an All-Star feast.

This may also be one of the meanings of the All-Star Weekend, letting fans know that NBA games are not only tense and exciting, but also entertaining and relaxing.

The annual NBA All-Star voting is a fierce competition between players, not on the court, but off the court, and allows fans to participate.

The new All-Star Weekend voting campaign was launched, and Meng Yun's votes soared almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just two days, he rose to the second place in the Eastern Conference All-Star, second only to LeBron James.

Moreover, the gap between Meng Yun and James is not big, and it is even possible to surpass James in the near future and become the number one in the Eastern Conference.

Behind Meng Yun is Giannis Antetokounmpo, the head star of the Bucks who has played very well this year. His performance this season is obvious to all, and his popularity has skyrocketed. All-Star hits.

In fact, for some players, it is not difficult to be selected as an All-Star, and it is almost a sure thing. For example, LeBron James, even if the Cavaliers have a poor record this season, but with the popularity accumulated over the years All-Stars are no problem.

Another example is Kevin Durant. After winning the NBA championship last season, Durant once surpassed James in popularity. .1.

The only regret is that last season's finals were not Warriors vs. Cavaliers. Durant did not beat James face-to-face in the finals, which made his position less ceremonial.

Of course, the sense of ceremony is a little less, but the gold content is still very high. After all, Durant's performance in the finals of last season is obvious to all.

So Durant's selection to the All-Star is also a certainty.

In addition, there are Stephen Curry, James Harden and others. The selection of the All-Star is also a certainty, and there is no suspense.

Among these people, Meng Yun was also included.

Meng Yun has been selected as an All-Star since his first season in the NBA, and in the past two seasons, he has been successfully selected as an All-Star.

It is now his third season, and it is also the most beautiful season he has played so far. He won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November and averaged "quasi-triple-double" data per game, leading the Heat to firmly occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference. throne.
These are enough to prove Meng Yun's strength, and he is absolutely worthy of being an All-Star.

What's more, Meng Yun has captured too many fans in the past two years, especially in the playoffs last season. His dazzling performance made many people dumbfounded and shocked, and then became his fans and supporters. Meng Yun was sent to the All-Star starter.

In fact, long before the start of the All-Star voting, someone said frankly that there are two players in the Eastern Conference who must enter the All-Star starters, namely James and Meng Yun.

Of course, the result is indeed the case, at least judging from the current situation, James and Meng Yun rank among the top two votes in the East, and only Antetokounmpo can compete with them.

As for the votes of Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid, Kevin Love, Porzingis, Al Horford and others at the back, they are far from the top three, even if they are ranked fourth Kyrie Irving's current number of votes is also much worse than that of the third Antetokounmpo.

So even if the All-Star voting has just started, the top three in the Eastern Conference are already clear, and the suspense is only whether the positions of the three will change.

After all, the gap between their votes is very small.

As for the West, the number one is Kevin Durant, there is no suspense.

The second is Stephen Curry.

James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis followed.
Miami, American Airlines Arena.

"Congratulations, Meng Yun, you are guaranteed to be the All-Star starter."

"There is no suspense at all. Apart from James, is there anyone in the East who can compete with my boss?"

"Being in the NBA for three years and being selected as an All-Star for three consecutive years, amazing!"

"Tsk tsk, even in the entire history of the NBA, this is one of the few."

In the arena, teammates have already congratulated Meng Yun in advance.

If there is no accident, Meng Yun is not injured, even if he is injured, as long as he is not directly reimbursed for the season, his selection to the Eastern Conference All-Star is already a certainty.

Meng Yun thanked him with a smile, but he wasn't too excited. After all, he had already made two All-Star appearances, and the freshness and tension had long since passed.

Meng Yun came to Xiang Long's side, put his hand on Xiang Long's shoulder, and said, "Brother, work harder, I think you have a chance too."

"Me?" Xiang Long was stunned, and said, "I haven't thought about it."

"Haha." Meng Yun laughed loudly, "Then you can think about it now."

Xiang Long just shook his head.

But Meng Yun is really not making fun of him, but thinks that Xiang Long does have a chance. He has played well this season, especially recently. If he plays more time, he might be able to get a double-double. .

And Xiang Long is Chinese, although he is not Chinese, but with his relationship with himself, it was nothing when he was with the Celtics. Now that he is in the Heat, I don't believe that so many Chinese fans who support me are voting for me When the time is not right, Xiang Long also has a vote.

Why can Antetokounmpo have so many votes?

In addition to his excellent playing, he is the hope of the whole of Greece, and he has the support of countless Greek fans behind him.

Then Xiang Long also has the support of many Chinese fans behind him. It may be useless to put it in the West, after all, the competition in the West is too fierce.

But this is the East, and there is still a little hope.

Of course, the hope is not great, even in the Eastern Conference, with Xiang Long's current performance, there is only a slight chance of making it into the starting lineup, and if he can't make it into the starting lineup, it may be even more difficult to get into the All-Star bench.

Just like Meng Yun in his rookie season, if he didn't directly enter the starting lineup, he would have no chance to enter the All-Star lineup, because the coach chooses the bench lineup, and the coach generally does not choose a rookie.Even the original LeBron James, known as the proud son of heaven, was extremely brilliant in his rookie season. After missing the starting lineup, he was not jointly selected by the coach as a substitute lineup.

Xiang Long has a chance, but the chance is very small, but Meng Yun thinks he should at least work hard.After all, Xiang Long is no longer a rookie, this is already his second season.
