Chapter 247: All-Star First Round Ballot

.., Bishop of the Devil
The news headlines the next morning, Iverson and Dazhi were gloriously on the list again.
The punishment of the league was also announced, Iverson was suspended for three games, Stockton was suspended for one...
As for Dazhi, there is no fart.
There is neither a fine nor a ban...
...
As soon as this happened, all parties in the league suddenly discovered that it seemed that a gangster team was also killed in the east.
Oakley, the old ghost, had just joined the Philadelphia 76ers, and something went wrong immediately.
...
Jazz was naturally dissatisfied with the alliance’s punishment, and held a special press conference to pour money on the reporters.
But journalists are not stupid, jazz is not clean, this is a well-known thing, now they are packed up and suffer, and then complain...
Why did you go?
After Richard got the news, his heart was dark.
Between him and the Jazz, the enmity is totally irreconcilable, and it is natural to see Stockton beaten.
And in another week or so, they will face the Jazz at home.
Iverson's prestige to kill Jazz first, just as Richard's heart...
...
On December 22, the first round of all-star votes was opened.
It is worth mentioning that the voting rules of the All-Stars have not been reformed at present. Unlike the later generations, only the front court and the back court are divided, and there is no bells and whistles for live captain selection...
There are now three positions on the court, center, forward and defender. Fans can choose their favorite player in a certain position.
For example, O'Neill has the highest number of votes in the center of the Western Conference. He is the starting center in the Western Conference and the center with the second highest number of votes. Even if he has a higher number of votes than that of the forward, he can only play the bench.
This voting system continued until 2012, before Xiao Hua made the change on the eve of his position, canceling the center position, leaving only the forward and guard positions for fans to choose.
There are many reasons for the restructuring. There are reasons for the gradual blurring of the center position. There are also reasons for Yao Ming to squeeze O'Neal to the bench.
...
The Trail Blazers must have signed up for their players to be All-Stars. Kobe is naturally a defender to run for the election. As for the two majors, Omoto and O'Brien, under Richard's repeated requests, they are the forwards. To run for election, Rashid is also a candidate for the forward status.
The competition for the center position is too great. On the west side, there is a stiff starting center like O'Neill, as well as Admiral and Olajuwon. Even Duncan is actually a center...
It's just that Duncan is an All-Star in the forward status, which avoids fierce competition.
In contrast to the competition in the forward position, in Richard's view, the degree of fierceness is certainly far inferior to that of the center position. After all, there are a total of four places, and the last two free person places will generally be assigned to the forward.
In the memory of Richard, there are five forward players in the 98-year All-Star West, including Karl Malone, Duncan and Garnett.
The remaining two are Wen Baker and Eddie Jones of the Lakers.
It is worth mentioning that under normal circumstances, the number of Lakers selected for the All-Star this year is quite horrible, there are a total of four, O'Neill, Eddie Jones, Fan Maniac and Kobe, all selected for the All-Star.
Even more frightening is that Kobe's second-year identity, with 15 points per game, has been playing in the bench for the Lakers, even getting the All-Star starting qualification...
To know that Kobe is in the Lakers, he played only one start in the entire 97-98 season, but he was able to get the All-Star starting qualification.
This should be regarded as one of the weirdest things in the history of NBA...
Originally, Eddie Jones was supposed to be a full-back candidate, but the Lakers counted him as a three-back candidate. The competition was too great, and he was simply placed in the forward position.
Richard is very clear that with his own confusion, the 1998 All-Star lineup will definitely change a lot.
The first is that Kobe estimates that there is no way to get a starter. Kobe’s average per game is better than normal history, but the situation is different. The Lakers players naturally enjoy more attention...
So Kobe basically has no chance of starting, but there are some chances of being a substitute.
There are not many reliable guards on the west side, at least compared to the east, the gap is still quite huge.
...
As for the forward position, all three of Daben, Ou and Rashid are running for election. As for whether they can be selected, Richard has no idea.
The only thing I know now is that it is absolutely impossible for these three to be selected as All-Stars at the same time...
There is a better chance, that is, one of the three people squeezed out Wen Baker, and then selected as the substitute for the All-Star.
...
After the results of the first day's voting came out, the number of votes for several Blazers players surprised Richard.
Xiao Ao's scary high number of votes is actually the same as that of the Timberwolves head Garnett, slightly less than Malone.
This made Richard a little confused. Originally, he felt that Rashid should have an advantage in the competition, but Rashid's votes were pitiful, and he was not even big....
Even if it is a big book, the number of votes on the first day is only half of Xiao Ao.
Very strange situation, made Richard a little ignorant...
If you think about it carefully, it's actually normal. After playing O'Goal in four games, although the rebounding data has dropped a bit, the scoring data and blocking data have remained very good...
Right now, after playing a small and a half games this season, the Olympic average of 17.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.9 blocks per game is perfect.
And Garnett's current average data is only 18.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 blocks, which is basically the same as that of O'Neal. Even if it is good, it will not be much better...
Coupled with the fact that O'Young is young~EbookFREE.me~ is more than a year younger than high school student Garnett.
In this case, more votes can be explained.
As for Kobe, there is no such good luck as Xiao Ou. At present, his votes are similar to those of Kidd. The two people's votes have risen in succession, and they have been hovering in the fifth position of the guard...
If you can stabilize the fifth place, if there is a defender in the free agent position, then you can enter the All-Star.
But no matter whether it is Kidd or Kobe, both of them are unable to stabilize the fifth place. In the end, who can get this back-up bench, it is really difficult to say...
Richard couldn't help crying, but he never thought that the first player under his hand to be selected for the All-Star game would be Xiaoao.
Judging from the current situation, Xiaoao is basically making steady progress to the All-Star.
Kobe still has a chance, but Daben and Rashid are almost out of play...
