Chapter 576: All-star vote king is me again (four k)

Rose watched the game and turned off the TV.
His three older brothers gave their opinions in turn.
Brother: "This guy seems to be from China. I heard that people over there know how to use kung fu."
Second brother: "That said, we should recruit more Chinese to enrich our strength."
Third brother: "Derek, although you play well, you don't have to worry about other things. The three of us will take care of it for you."
Rose watched the TV, recalling what Barkley and Smith had said.
Maybe you should try to change your style of play?
Or, don't you play like this for the entire game?
I am still young now, but what about after a few years of playing?
Will my explosive power still be so strong?
Even Shentong did not start such a life-threatening style of play in the fourth quarter.
Maybe I should practice jump shots.
Maybe I should learn the back-body technique...
This time, the "hurricane" hit Chicago.
......
James' injury is more serious than expected.
After consultation with experts, James needs to perform a minimally invasive surgery. The surgery itself is not a major operation, and recovery will not affect the future competitive state.
However, because the injured place requires frequent exertion in daily life, recovery will be slower.
According to the doctor's conservative estimate, James needs to return to the game after the All-Star Game.
In other words, James needs to rest for almost 2 months.
This is a big blow to the Cavaliers.
As soon as he was diagnosed, James dialed Shen Tong's number.
"Hello, brother, two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
James' tone was a little low.
Shen Tong replied: "Good news."
"The good news is that my injury is not serious and will not have any impact on my career."
"Wow, this is definitely good news. So the bad news is..."
"The bad news is...I'm afraid I will have to recuperate until the end of the All-Stars, because where I have surgery..."
Before James finished speaking, Shen Tong interrupted him.
"LeBron, you don’t need to explain it so clearly to me. As long as your injury will not affect your future play, this is enough. As for the recuperation, you don’t have to worry at all. Return to the team. I know better than anyone that you are a guy with a sense of competition and ambitious ambitions. Da Juan, Da Z and others will help you make up. Don’t worry about it. You can just take care of the illness and leave the rest we."
James was moved.
Such a caring boss!
There is no shelf at all.
Don't refuse at all when you should be under pressure.
Who is more suitable to be the boss of the team than Shentong?
This kind of personality charm and high emotional intelligence can never be cultivated.
Introduction, is the leadership temperament!
From this moment on, James was desperate for Shentong.
It is too difficult to have a confidant in life.
From now on, Shentong will be his boss, and he is willing to be the second child!
......
Soon, the news that James was stepped by Bowen and needed to rest for 2 months spread throughout the league.
Under Shentong's banner, players have stood up and accused Bowen of his despicable behavior.
For a time, Bowen's call to ban the game resounded throughout the league.
Kobe, Carter, Nash, Wade, Francis and others all stood up to comment on Bowen.
Kobe: "It's fun to go head-to-head with him. He is an excellent defender. I don't deny that, but when I break through, he always lifts his knees against me and tries to use Knee to prevent my breakthrough. For this, I have to always guard against the danger of injury."
Carter: "After a jump shot, Bowen habitually put his foot under my feet, and I quickly changed my focus to avoid the disaster. After landing, I was furious and rushed to Bowen to argue with him, but the referee Thinks that I'm not too calm, and throws me off the court. I hate Bowen."
Nash: "One minute before the end of the third quarter, Bowen slammed his right foot out of the offense while I was still on the ground, and put my right knee firmly between my legs, and I fell in pain. On the ground, but the referee did not call Bowen for malicious or technical fouls. Compared with Horry, I hate Bowen more."
Wade: "You can now put me among the many people who call him dirty. He should be suspended and then fined. As a player, he really shouldn't behave like that shamelessly. I want to ask Ask him, does he want to get me to Mars?"
Francis: "In an offense in the first quarter, I pulled up and shot under Bowen's defense. The ball was shot, but Bowen had already quietly put his foot under my landing foot. Waiting for me to land from the air. After that, I stepped right upright, and I fell to the ground in pain with my left ankle."
James, the person involved in the incident that triggered the condemnation, also stood up and criticized Bowen.
"He is really a dirty guy. Did everyone see it? When he was defending me, he not only put his knees against my body, but also quietly stretched his right foot under my left foot. The result was Injured!"
......
Shentong, who was supported by many players, cut the footage of Bowen's footsteps into a video and sent it to the players union, demanding that Bowen be punished for "uncivilized games".
One day after Shentong submitted the video, the trade union stated that in order to eliminate the source of truth and maintain a good competitive environment for the league, this time it clearly stood on Shentong's side.
Under pressure from the players and the union, the league launched an investigation into Bowen's "uncivilized game".
After 7 days of investigation time limit, the league made a heavy fine of 500,000 U.S. dollars for Bowen's one-month ban!
Popovich called wrong for his disciple, claiming that Shentong was because James was absent from the game. He was afraid that the Spurs would dominate the game and wanted to reduce the Spurs' strength in other ways.
But Shentong didn't give Popovich any face.
"He really thought I treated them as opponents? Stop teasing, I will focus more on the Heat and the Sun."
Popovich, who was ridiculed and slapped his old face, stopped speaking.
Although Bowen stated to the media that he was innocent, but under the deterrence of the league and the Internet, he obediently paid a fine and said that he would pay attention to protecting the players in the future, which gradually stopped the condemnation.
Shentong's leadership qualities were fully revealed in this incident.
......
The loss of James will undoubtedly have an impact on the overall strength of the Cavaliers, but Shentong will take any responsibility and start his own runaway mode with crazy scoring.
Throughout January, Shentong scored a single-month record of 40.5 points per game, making Kobe, who ranked second, averaging 33 points, also unmatched.
In the face of double teamwork or even triple teamwork, Shentong was still able to finish scoring with his best performance.
Someone joked that there was a "Shen whirlwind" in the alliance.
Shentong's popularity is close to Michael Jordan's peak in the league.
In the schedule before losing James to the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers achieved a record of 29 wins and 5 losses, and topped the league with a record of 46 wins and 6 losses!
Some people have begun to discuss the possibility of breaking the regular season record of 72 wins and 10 losses set by the Bulls.
From the point of view of winning percentage, the current winning percentage of the Cavaliers is 88.5%, surpassing the Bulls' 87.8%, which is theoretically possible.
And after the All-Star Game, James will heal and return, which is another record-breaking weight for the Cavaliers.
In order to ensure that he is in good health, James, who was selected into the All-Star starting lineup, has decided to give up participating in the game to ensure that he can return to the team with 100% health.
At present, James has basically recovered and is following the Cavaliers' physical coach Derek Miranda for rehabilitation training.
The Cavaliers team's morale is like a rainbow, and the internal chemistry is very good, and the locker room is also very harmonious.
Whether they can break the 72-win regular season record depends entirely on their own performance.
......
During this period, several important transactions occurred in the alliance.
On January 25th, the Kings and the Pacers completed the deal and exchanged the "marksman" Peja Stojakovic for the "beast" Ron Artest.
After the Kings sent away Webber, the way to build a team with Peja as the core seemed to be unworkable, and they wanted to play the tough, first-rate defensive Artest.
On January 26, the Timberwolves and the Celtics completed a big deal involving seven people.
The Timberwolves exchanged Szzibiak, Olowo Kandi, Jones, and a conditional first-round pick in exchange for the Celtics' Ricky Davis, Mark Blunt, and Marcus Bank Ross, Justin Reid and a future second-round pick.
Garnett is quite critical to the management of Szebiak's departure.
There is news that Garnett may not renew his contract with the Timberwolves after the contract expires, which makes many teams think.
But soon the Timberwolves came out to refute the rumors, claiming that they would stay with Garnett and sign enough helpers for Garnett.
On February 3, the Raptors completed a deal with the Knicks. They exchanged Jalen Rose, a 2006 first-round draft pick, for the Knicks' Antonio Davis.
Rose finally left the sad place in Toronto, and only the drunken fans in New York can comfort his heart.
It turned out that on January 22nd, Kobe led the Lakers against the Raptors at home. Under Rose’s defense, Kobe scored 81 points, becoming another player who scored 80+ after Shentong’s 83 points, ranking No. 1 in history. three.
At the beginning of the first three quarters, the Raptors still led the Lakers by as much as 18 points, but Kobe suddenly used 18 martial arts, rushing from left to right, fighting from side to side, and even scoring 55 points throughout the second half and leading the Lakers. Completed a big comeback in the fourth quarter!
If it weren't for Shentong's 83 points, Kobe's 81 points would be more influential.
And Ross, facing Kobe, seemed to lose his soul after that game.
The transaction is a relief to him.
On February 14, four days before the opening of the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers completed a deal with the Knicks.
The Cavaliers traded backup guard Damon Jones for the Knicks' "Penny" Anfenni Hardaway.
Experts generally think that the Cavaliers' brains are pretty funny, but Shentong knows that the Cavaliers are actually making money.
From the analysis of the two players themselves, Jones is still in a good age, and Hardaway is already at the end of his career and suffering from injuries. Obviously Jones is more combative.
But there is one reason forcing the Cavaliers to have to trade Jones.
That is Jones expressed dissatisfaction with his position as the third point guard on the team.
He asked for more playing time, which is a requirement that the current Cavaliers of Lien Chan cannot meet.
No one will rashly adjust substitution arrangements and playing time when the team is playing well.
In order to ensure the stability of the locker room, the Cavaliers chose to make this "looks like a big loss" trade.
When Hardaway came to the Cavaliers on the first day, Shentong said to Hardaway: "Hey, buddy, you made a lot of money, at the end of the season, I will give you a trophy, a trophy standing on top of the league!"
"Okay, boss."
Hardaway knew that he had finally reported his thigh!
......
On February 18, 2006, the NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off in Houston.
Shentong once again became the All-Star vote king.
Moreover, this time he broke the highest number of All-Star votes he created last season.
A full 4 million votes!
Once again refreshed the history of the NBA.
The second place is also Chinese, Yao Ming.
He got 2.34 million votes, but 1.66 million fewer than Shentong!
Seeing the top two votes, it's no wonder that O'Neal, who is in third place, has to say with jealousy that this year's All-Star can be called the China Game.
He got 2.19 million votes.
......
According to the votes of the fans, the Eastern Conference's All-Star starting lineup is:
Center: Shaquille O'Neal (2.19 million) (Heat)
