Chapter 419:

The first round of All-Star voting ends at 0:00 on December 25, 2015.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant topped the list with 719,235 votes.
This is Kobe's first time to participate in the All-Star Weekend vote in a healthy posture since he was injured in 13 years. As Kobe's last season, football fans all over the world are willing to support Kobe and give him a perfect curtain call.
After Kobe, Curry's 510202 votes and James' 487937 votes.
It is worth mentioning that the Bucks players.
Last season, although the Bucks entered the second round of the playoffs with the fourth place in the east, they were completely annihilated in the selection of the All-Star. Neither the letter brother nor Oladipo was selected as the All-Star. Race.
But this season is different.
Due to Atetokounmpo's explosive performance in the new season and the Bucks' "color" record bonus, in the first round of voting, he got 182107 votes!
This vote can be ranked third in the eastern striker, second only to James and Leonard, slightly higher than Anthony.
Of course, the third place will not be selected as the All-Star starter, but considering the popularity and own strength, there is no problem in selecting the All-Star bench.
The same is true of Thompson.
In the east, the pressure of the defender campaign is much greater than that of the forward, because there are many good defenders in the east.
The Wizards have Curry and George, the Nets have Jeremy Lin, the Wade Heat, the 76ers Wall and the Bucks Thompson.
Thompson's playing style is doomed to his weakness in popularity. After all, he has too little time to attack the ball. Although until now, Thompson has averaged 21.7 points per game on the Bucks, and his shooting percentage is almost close to 50%. The hit rate is also 44%.
But in the voting process, he still ranked behind Curry, Jeremy Lin, George, Wade, Irving and others.
Being an All-Star starter is basically nothing to do with Thompson, but with his strength, being selected as an All-Star substitute is more than enough.
However, apart from the two brothers Alphabet and Thompson, the other Bucks players are not particularly likely to be selected for the All-Star game. The only possibility is the center position of Jokic, but there are also Howard and Della in this position. Mend and Horford competed with them.
As the team with the best record in the league, only two of them may be selected for the All-Star team and are still off the bench.
Whether it is Oladipo, Jokic or Middleton, they are still in the growth stage, their potential has not been fully tapped, Wang Xiao’s system has been suspended due to the upgrade and update task, and there is no training bonus. , They can only rely on their own efforts to improve, the speed is obviously not as good as the Wizards Curry and others.
And the strength and potential of these players are much worse than those of the Wizards. These are indisputable facts.
For Wang Xiao, it is certainly a matter of fact that the players can all be selected as All-Stars, but it is not a failure to be selected, and it is even beneficial for him.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Bucks are just teams led by two All-Star substitutes. Such a mediocre team can actually top the entire league record, which can only explain the team’s record. Tactics and head coach are really bullish!
...
After the time entered January, the Bucks' schedule was more friendly than it was in December.
The only tough opponents in the 15 games are the Blazers and Spurs. The other opponents are the weaker teams such as the Timberwolves, Bulls, Mavericks, Knicks and Magic.
Faced with these weak teams, the Bucks are naturally struggling to win the game.
Not only that, in the face of the only strong enemy Trail Blazers and Spurs, the Bucks only lost to the Spurs on the road, winning the home game against the Blazers.

This game, the Blazers lost very depressed.
Brother Alphabet and Durant are completely in a disadvantage. Although Durant can't resist the breakthrough of Alphabet Brother, Alphabet Brother is even weaker against Durant's attack. Durant scored 36 out of 22 shots in the game. Points, the letter brother 8 of 18 shots, got 24 points 10 rebounds and 2 assists.
But apart from Durant, the entire Trail Blazers had no other player who scored in double figures.
Aldridge played abnormally, making only 3 of 14 shots, scoring 9 points, 6 rebounds and 5 turnovers.
None of the other players scored in double figures.
In comparison, the Bucks scored 26 points for Thompson, Oladipo scored 17 points, and Jokic and Middleton also had 13 points.
...
When the game whistle sounded, Durant looked at the scoreboard with a huge gap, and his eyes were a bit confused.
The Trail Blazers in recent years can be described as Wang Xiaoer's New Year's New Year is not as good as a year.
A few years ago, they were able to reach the finals in a row. Although they were swept by the Wizards every year, they were still the Western hegemony team.
But in recent years, the team has no reinforcement, the lineup is worse than year to year, and last season, they even lost to the Clippers in the Western Conference finals.
I originally thought that the Trail Blazers will be painful and will make a difference in the summer.
Unexpectedly, the pioneers found nothing in the free market.
Thompson, Leonard, Butler, Green...The Blazers didn't even grab one of these players who left the Wizards.
Durant was a little lost.
When leading the Blazers to the finals for the first time, he felt that the championship was only one step away from himself. As long as he gritted his teeth, he could win the trophy!
But what he waited for was just failure year after year.
Looking at the bucks cheering and looking at the trailblazers, Durant suddenly moved his heart, and a bold idea appeared in his mind.
...
That night, Wang Xiao suddenly received a strange call, and the person on the phone claimed to be Durant's agent.
"Mr. Wang Xiao, I am sorry to call you in the middle of the night, but I am entrusted by my employer and hope to get answers to some questions from you."
When he heard the words from Durant's agent, Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Even if he realized what was happening immediately, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
No way?
wrong! Why not?
Kevin Durant, currently recognized as the strongest scorer in the league, was also the first person Wang Xiao affected after crossing here!
In another time and space, Durant, who has been in the Thunder for many years without any results, was fed up with continuous failures, so he resolutely embarked on a path of "very difficult"-joined the gold that won 73 wins last season. State Warriors.
So now the question is coming, since Durant can join a team that has won one championship and one Asia two years ago and won the Bulls record with 73 wins, why can't he join Wang Xiao's Bucks?
