Chapter 259 Defending All-Star Voting King
After winning the Celtics, the Thunder's winning streak continued. The teams that wanted to stop their progress fell at their feet. On the day the All-Star voting results were announced, they got 19 points. Streak.
Not surprisingly, Ye Hao once again became the All-Star vote leader.
He got 330 million votes in the voting, and this number of votes also created a historical record in the NBA.
Prior to this, in the All-Star voting over the years, no star has ever won more than 300 million votes.
Before Ye Hao's record, the highest vote record was created by another Chinese player, Dayao, in the All-Star voting in 2005. Dayao got more than 250 votes at that time.
In the world's top basketball league, the top two creators of the all-star vote record are all Chinese players. Thinking about it, it's quite exciting.
Speaking of this year's All-Star voting, apart from the fact that Ye Hao's number of votes was overwhelming and there was almost no suspense, the competition among the rest of the stars was still very fierce. It can be called the most intense year in history. .
This year, there are seven players with more than 250 million votes alone.
In addition to Ye Hao, there are six players including Dayao, Duncan, Wade, Kobe, James and Howard.
Behind Ye Hao is Howard with 290 million votes. His superman appearance in the dunk contest last year really helped him attract countless fans. In addition to the good results of the Magic this year, Howard has played hot performances many times. , which allowed him to surpass LeBron James and become the top voter in the Eastern Conference.
In third place is Kobe Bryant, who received 290 million votes, successfully surpassed James at the last moment, and stood third.
Many fans of Ye Hao also voted for Kobe.
Ranked fourth is LeBron James, who received 280 million votes. He once became the All-Star Game vote leader in the 2006-2007 season, and also created a record for the youngest vote leader at that time.
It's just that it was destroyed by Ye Hao last year.
The record of the so-called youngest XXX is really the easiest to break.
Ye Hao has one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and he breaks it easily when he sees it, just like playing a game of ninja cutting watermelon, with a series of shots.
Very crisp and neat.
After James are Dayao, Wade and Duncan. Dayao almost squeezed James behind this year. The power of Huaxia fans is really too strong.
If the votes of these seven players are taken separately and put on the All-Star voting in other years, they may become the top voters.
From this we can see how fierce this year's All-Star voting is.
It is worth mentioning that in this year's voting, there is another Chinese player who received a high number of votes.
That is the UAE, with more than 180 million tickets, he once squeezed Kevin Garnett behind him.
However, Garnett succeeded in overtaking in the end and occupied the starting position of the Eastern Conference forward together with LeBron James. Otherwise, it is really possible to see the grand occasion of the three Chinese players in the All-Star Game.
The voting is over, and the All-Star starting lineups of the East and West will be officially announced.
In the East, the starting guards are Dwyane Wade and Allen Iverson.
The forwards are Garnett and James, and the center is Warcraft Howard.
In the West, the starting guards are naturally Ye Hao and Kobe, and the center is Dayao.
Up front is Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire.
Just mentioned that the United Arab Emirates almost squeezed out Kevin Garnett's starting position, and a similar interesting scene happened in the West.
Bruce Bowen of the Spurs also received more than 130 million votes in the voting, becoming the third player among Western Conference forwards.
And he is only tens of thousands of votes away from the second-ranked bully Stoudemire among the forwards.
It also almost squeezed out Stoudemire as the starting forward in the West.
This interesting phenomenon was finally revealed by the media following reports, saying that Stoudemire's fans voted for two places, one for Stoudemire and the other for the most unlikely Bruce Bowen.
This voting strategy is purely to block others, especially Artest of the Rockets.
Stoudemire's fans are worried that Huaxia fans will vote Artest in the starting lineup.
That's why I made this one.
Of course, the result was also very successful, blocking Artest, Anthony, and Nowitzki from the top two.
But it was almost self-defeating, and Bowen almost killed Stoudemire in the end.
It would be hilarious if this scene actually happened.
………………
………………
Ye Hao, who successfully defended his title as the All-Star vote leader, did not feel much joy at becoming the vote leader again.
This was to be expected.
Now he is heading to Cleveland with the team for an away game.
Against the Cavaliers, as long as they can win this crucial game, their winning streak can reach 20 games.
20 consecutive victories, few teams in the entire NBA history can do it.
So far, to be precise, only three teams have accomplished this feat.
Ranked first is an ancient record with a long history, the 1971-game winning streak set by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1972-33 season.
This winning streak is also considered one of the most difficult records in the NBA.
Today, nearly 40 years have passed, and no team has come close to this record.
It can be seen how difficult it is to break this record.
1971-1972年的NBA赛季，从1971年的11月5日到1972年的1月7日，近2个月的时间里，
Under the leadership of the legendary superstar Chamberlain and West, the Lakers won consecutive victories and won 33 consecutive victories.
Their record for the entire season was 69 wins and 13 losses, which was also the best single-season record in NBA history at the time.
The Lakers also successfully won the championship that season.
For the Thunder's 19-game winning streak, there is of course a long way to go if they want to catch up with or even surpass their 33-game winning streak.
But they are very close to the second longest winning streak in NBA history.
Ranked second in the winning streak is the 22 consecutive victories led by Dayao and Tracy McGrady last season.
This is the latest and most recent winning streak in the league.
The Thunder are only 3 games away from this record.
If they can win this game against the Cavaliers, then they will win 20 consecutive victories.
Tied with the Milwaukee Bucks, which had 1970 consecutive victories in the 1971-20 season, to become the league's third-longest winning streak.
Their current 19-game winning streak is tied for fourth with the 1999-game winning streak that the OK team led the Lakers in the 2000-19 season.
In that season when the OK combination was in full swing, the Lakers also played a wave of 16 consecutive victories.
It's a pity that their 19-game winning streak and 16-game winning streak failed to connect together, otherwise they would have broken the team's record of 33 consecutive victories.
It was already night when the Thunder arrived in Cleveland. The players rushed to the hotel and settled down in a hurry.
They will finish the game with the Cavaliers tomorrow, and then they will rush to Atlanta to challenge the Eagles away.
A road trip with twists and turns.
After Ye Hao checked into the hotel, he also received a call from Cavaliers boss LeBron James.
Known as the NBA social butterfly, James knows how to build a good relationship with many players in the league.
At the beginning, he was also one of the lobbyists invited by Nike to lobby Ye Hao to join the Nike endorsement lineup.
Although he is secretly discussing with his brothers to play together in a group, just to snipe the rising Ye Hao.
But he still hopes to have a good relationship with Ye Hao.
Now Ye Hao's commercial value far exceeds him, and James' ambition is not only to achieve success in the NBA, he hopes to achieve great success in the commercial world as well.
Therefore, his business layout has been laid out very early.
He recruited many childhood friends to help him manage the business and expand the territory.
In short, whether it is off the court or on the court, he is following the path of brothers fighting together.
Honestly, this really works.
The brothers around me are strong enough, that is the fastest shortcut to reach the summit.
In this era, who is going to break through alone.
Even Ye Hao does not reject James' way to success.
It's just that for Ye Hao, he doesn't have so many good brothers in the alliance.
Moreover, the ball demon is always a bit bleak and arrogant as he moves forward alone.
Who can really walk with the ball devil?
James congratulated Ye Hao on the phone for successfully defending the All-Star vote champion and winning 19 consecutive victories.
There was a trace of envy in his words, as for whether he was jealous, only he himself knew.
Ye Hao smiled lightly and said, "Soon, it will be 20 consecutive victories."
James responded with a haha, "Then we won't know until we call tomorrow."
It was in the laughter that each showed their fighting spirit.
The next day, the Thunder did not arrange too much training.
In this consecutive away game, Carlesimo still hopes to allow the players to save more energy.
It's just that for Ye Hao, normal training and enough time are necessary.
He is still rushing to upgrade other system attributes.
Once he can break through and upgrade all the attributes to S level, I'm afraid he will really be invincible in the alliance.
There should be no doubt about this, and now he feels a little invincible on the court.
This is the on-court feeling that one will naturally have when one's strength is raised to a corresponding height.
It is no longer difficult for the opponent to restrain you, and you can freely sway on the court.
This feeling is really great.
James wants to snipe his 20-game winning streak in the night's game?
Then try it.
Ye Hao smiled disapprovingly.
In the evening, the game officially started.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is: point guard Maurice Williams, shooting guard Delonte West, small forward LeBron James, power forward Darnell Jackson, and center Ben Wallace.
The Thunder's starting lineup is: point guard Dragic, shooting guard Ye Hao, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, and center Varejao.
Before playing, Ye Hao specifically asked Durant: "KD, can you defend LeBron alone?"
Durant froze for a moment, thought for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I've studied his game, and he's too strong to guard against."
Ye Hao shook his head, "If you don't want him to suppress you all the time, if you want to become the number one small forward in the league, then you have to cross the hill of LeBron. Otherwise, your entire career will be punished. He suppressed it."
Durant glanced at James on the opposite court, Ye Hao stimulated his arrogance in his heart, "I can fight him desperately, I don't believe I can't guard against him!"
Ye Hao reached out and rubbed Durant's head, "That's right, when you face a strong opponent, you must work hard! You think he can't beat him, so can he be more difficult to deal with than me?
Don't forget that you have singled me out countless times.
If you can play against LeBron, you can naturally win against LeBron! "
Tsk tsk, rubbing Adu's head really doesn't feel good. I don't know why that expressionless guy from the Spurs always likes to do this. Could it be that Ginobili and Parker rub their heads differently? Feel?
Ye Hao murmured in his heart while talking.
Durant nodded heavily, "Yes!"
It's just that he felt that there seemed to be something wrong in Ye Hao's words.
Can you beat LeBron if you can go head-to-head with Ye Hao?
Can this causal logic relationship be established?
I have singled out Ye Hao countless times, but in the end I was abused countless times.
Durant couldn't figure out the relationship between them. He didn't think it was important. The important thing was that he had been inspired by Ye Hao to have the courage and confidence to defeat James.
Both sides jump the ball and the game begins.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking.
Dragic pushed forward with the ball, and Mo Williams immediately clung to him to defend.
This season, the arrival of Mo Williams gave James a lot of help.
When he was still in the Bucks, Huaxia fans always said that he played alone and would not pass the ball to the UAE.
Therefore, he also got the nickname of "Nobody Passes".
But in fact, this is not the case. At least, after he arrived in the Cavaliers, he played well beside James, and took up the post of James' first guard with a knife very responsibly.
Dragic relied on Mo William and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Now he is playing more and more calmly on the court. This is not only because he has played more games in the league and is familiar with the rhythm of NBA games, but also because he is often mentioned by Ye Hao and singled out by Ye Hao. Practiced slowly.
As long as you are willing to practice and work hard to improve, you can actually get improvement and progress around the ball devil.
Because there are people like devils urging you to move forward, you wish you could run faster and faster.
This is very simple and easy to understand.
Like the Lakers led by Kobe, if the so-called "Reaper" Parker can withstand the pressure brought by Kobe and work hard to improve his basketball skills, I am afraid that he will not disappear quietly in the league later.
Isn't there Kwame Brown, Cook, etc. too?
Of course, these people have limited aptitude and talent, and they were also disliked by Kobe.
Kobe likes young players who are talented and willing to work hard, such as Ye Hao.
