Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 709
“Super Heavy Artillery (
This league is like this, a generation of players and fans, each era has its own excitement.
When the older fans see James with a gray beard and feel nostalgic, the younger fans start to clamor for their idols.
Starting in late December, the NBA’s annual All-Star voting has started again. Every year’s All-Star Weekend is a gluttonous feast.
The 2020 NBA All-Star Weekend was arranged in the city of Chicago. This is the 69th NBA All-Star and the first All-Star weekend in a new era. Last year’s Charlotte All-Star, Michael Jordan hurriedly said goodbye, so that everyone was still not satisfied. This year, the All-Star came to Chicago to witness all the splendor of His Majesty the Flying Man. It is of great significance.
As the Thunder were preparing to meet the New Orleans Pelicans, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of the All-Star voting. Lone Ranger star Luca Doncic became the first round of voting with 1,073,957 votes, while Bucks’ number one star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, ranked second with 1,073,358 votes.
It can be seen that there are not many votes that differ between the two. In fact, their third and fourth places are not much different from the votes of these two players. Anlow received 1,035,568 votes in the first round of voting, and LeBron James received 1,020,851 votes.
Although it is only the first round of voting results, many problems can still be seen.
The first among them is that this year’s All-Star Game is likely to be a stage for international players.
It can be seen from the results of the first round of the All-Star voting that the top three votes are all international players. Slovenian player Luca Doncic, Greek monster Giannis Antetokounmpo and Chinese player Anlo. Even James Harden, who played explosively this season, LeBron James, the first man in the league, and Stephen Curry, who has a huge fan base, are behind the three of them.
Of course, these three players can lead the All-Star vote without the support of fans in their respective countries. But what is certain is that the three of them achieved such an achievement not only because of the strong support of their nationals, but also inseparable from the outstanding performance of the three of them.
In this season, Doncic played a phenomenal performance. He averaged 29 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game, ranking fourth in the league in points and assists. In this season, Doncic created a series of historical records. For example, surpass Oscar Robertson and become the youngest player in history to get 35+ triple-doubles in two consecutive games; set the youngest record of 30+10 in four consecutive games; surpass James to become a triple-double king within 21 years old; break within 21 years old 40+ triple-double record…The important thing is that Doncic can lead the team to win while playing super data. Under his leadership, the Lone Ranger is currently ranked fifth in the West with 21 wins and 12 losses. The four teams before him are all championship-level teams this season.
Antetokounmpo ranks third in the scoring list with 30.4 points this season, and 13.0 rebounds in the sixth place in the rebounding list. In addition to 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks, we can see that this guy is What a comprehensive player. Last season Antetokounmpo overpowered James Harden to become the MVP of the regular season, but this season he evolved again, developed a three-point range, made up for his own shortcomings, and is unmatched in the game.
In addition to these three, there are France’s Gobert, Serbia’s Jokic, Australia’s Ben Simmons, Lithuania’s Sabonis, Cameroon’s Embiid and Siakam. If these players can still maintain the momentum of the first round of votes in the next two rounds of voting, the limelight of this All-Star will be robbed by these stars from all over the world.
It has to be said that the continuous improvement of the world’s basketball level in recent years has posed a huge threat to American basketball. In fact, this change started in 2004. That year, the American Dream Team was resisted by world basketball, losing to Lithuania, Argentina and Puerto Rico.
In the current NBA, most of the representatives of young players are from outside the United States. Perhaps one day, fans will be able to see that the NBA All-Star Game will become the same as the Rookie Challenge, divided into the US team and the world team.
In addition to the brilliance of international stars, the four frontcourt players in the Western Conference also made everyone shine. Especially the fans in Los Angeles, because they are the Lakers’ LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
Of course, this result is what everyone expected. The Los Angeles rivals, the Lakers and the Clippers, have formed a bridge since the offseason fight for Leonard~www.mtlnovel.com~The Clippers snatched the “fat” of Leonard from the mouth of the Lakers. , And also attracted Paul George, who has always wanted to join the Lakers. The Lakers can’t bear such “grief”. Although Leonard was not awarded, the wish of the Big Three was finally shattered. But the Lakers have LeBron James and Anthony Davis, coupled with outstanding role players on the bench, this is still the position to win the championship. The Clippers on the opposite side also have two superstars, coupled with their original strong substitutes, which makes the Los Angeles duo a deadly enemy.
As far as the current situation is concerned, these four players are likely to appear in the All-Star game at the same time. They are either teammates or opponents, but in any case, they are all interesting.
An Luo has a very strong momentum this year! Last season’s finals and World Cup double MVP won him a large number of fans from outside the celestial dynasty. If this momentum continues, An Luo can basically lock in a starting position. This is very important for Anlo. After all, there are only ten All-Star starting players every year, and even four starting All-Star guards. This is the real star! If An Luo can be selected, it means that his ability has been recognized by countless fans and insiders in this league.
Even, An Luo can go and look forward to this year’s All-Star ticket king. Had it not been for the rules of the All-Star voting had long been changed, An Luo could accomplish these feats in the first season. However, to become the king of votes in this situation must have more weight.
But this is not an easy task! Whether it is Doncic or Antetokounmpo, in terms of personal data and fan support, they will not be lower than Anlo. What’s more, there is a LeBron James who is “charmless”.
