Chapter 26 Crazy this will ruin the NBA!(1/2)
Under this news released by the NBA official, the number of comments has exceeded 10,000!
You know, it only took 5 minutes for this news to be released.
Lin Tian scrolled down to read the comments:
“What a bullshit vote! You’re going to let a rookie who only played 4 games be selected as an All-Star??”
"Oh my god! The All-Star voting mechanism really needs to be changed! Please do something practical!"
"Although the Lakers rookie wearing No. 23 jersey is great! But you told me that he actually got 620,000 All-Star votes?"
"Please! Disqualify that rookie from the Lakers! No player has ever been selected to the All-Stars and only played 4 games!"
"Crazy vote! This will ruin the NBA!"
"It's normal for Kobe to be the top vote-getter, but the league plans to allow a team with almost the bottom record to be selected as two All-Star starters. Doesn't this make sense?"
"You all wake up! This is how the All-Star voting mechanism works! Lin's performance deserves so many votes!"
…
The entire comment area was almost overwhelmingly filled with abuse and doubts.
Of course, there are also a small number of fans who defend Lin Tian, but most of these fans' comments are covered up by abuse.
Lin Tian smiled bitterly and returned the phone to Nick Young, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When Yao entered the NBA in his first season, he got enough All-Star votes to squeeze out the Sharks at their peak from the All-Star starting lineup. And the Sharks' performance that season was obviously much better than Yao's.
, Big Shark also expressed his dissatisfaction in a subtle way.
In addition, Dayao has been selected as the All-Star starter for 8 consecutive times in his career, which has also caused criticism from many NBA fans and media reporters.
In addition, the UAE, which was a little more recent, almost entered the All-Star starting lineup one season because it had enough votes.
All this is because Chinese players have a very strong fan base.
Now it is impossible for Lin Tian to say that there is no pressure.
It would be okay if he joined the Lakers from the beginning of this season, but after all, he only played 4 games for the Lakers.
Although the All-Star voting has not ended yet, as long as the NBA All-Star voting rules do not change, it is probably a certainty that he will enter the All-Star.
At that time, in addition to the Chinese fans, the voices of resistance in the NBA will become louder and louder.
Kobe noticed something was wrong with Lin Tian's expression, and he said, "Hey! Man! This is a good thing! Why are you frowning?"
Lin Tian sighed: "So far this season, I have only played a few games. Some people will be dissatisfied."
"So what?" Kobe spread his hands, "Don't get angry with those fans! Be yourself! You are an All-Star!"
Nick Young also nodded: "Lin! I really envy you! If I had so many votes! I don't care how many games I played!"
Russell, who was on the side, was facing Nick Young: "Save it for me, you have less than 20,000 votes, which is lower than me."
"Hey! Man!" Nick Young turned his head to Russell, "You compete with me? You understand the situation, you are the second overall pick this year!"
All-star voting, any fan can vote for any player in the NBA.
So every player will have a vote, but the difference in the number of votes may be huge.
Lin Tian is not a sentimental person, but the All-Star incident does give him a headache now.
He doesn't want to be called the All-Star starter and be said to be unworthy of the name, even if the All-Star nature is just an exhibition game.
Kobe's voice came again: "Lin! The way to shut them up is very simple, that is to slap them in the face with performance."
His words reminded Lin Tian.
The officially announced votes today are still the first round of voting and are intermediate votes.
In the next ten days or so, the NBA will successively announce the second round of intermediate votes and the results of the third round.
The Lakers' recent schedule is also relatively tight. If Lin Tian can perform well enough, he may not be able to silence the fans.
He nodded solemnly, and in the next few games, he would work hard to conquer the fans with his performance.
At this time, Nick Young, who was looking at his mobile phone, shouted again: "Hey! Guys! Last week's Best of the Week has been announced!"
Lin Tian took out his mobile phone to read the news this time.
Sure enough, after the NBA announced the results of the first phase of the All-Star voting, it quickly announced the list of last week's Best of the Week winners.
The Player of the Week in the Eastern Conference is Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, while the Player of the Week in the Western Conference is Lin Tian.
It also lists his average data last week: 30.5 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks.
This data also includes his first game with the Lakers.
In his first game, except for two turnovers, all other statistics were zero.
There is another important condition for winning the Best of the Week, and that is record.
In the 4 games Lin Tian played, they won a total of 3 games. He deserved the title of Best of the Week.
The official announced the All-Star votes first and then last week's Player of the Week, presumably taking Lin Tian's influence into consideration.
Kobe was very excited: "Hey! Best of the Week! I thought last week's Best of the Week would be James Harden!"
Nick Young also congratulated: "Lin! Congratulations to you! I believe that after the Player of the Week is announced, those who question your All-Star vote will shut up.
Lin Tian himself was indifferent: "Are there any rewards for being selected as the best of the week?"
He really didn't know much about Best of the Week before.
Everyone laughed when they heard that Lin Tian asked such a weird question. Nick Young pointed at Kobe and said: "You have to ask Kobe about this. He is one of the players with the most awards of the week in NBA history."
But Kobe said seriously: "No, no, no! Don't praise me like this, but people who have experienced it will tell you that there is no substantial reward for being the best player of the week."
"If there are any incentive clauses in your contract, you may be able to get a little more reward, but you should guarantee the contract in full."
Nick Young shook his head and said: "You actually ask what the reward is for such a high honor! You are really hopeless!"
Lin Tian also scratched his head and laughed.
The airport was filled with laughter and laughter again.
…
More than an hour later, the Lakers' special plane arrived in Sacramento.
The group got off the plane and got on the team's exclusive bus to the hotel.
The hotel they stayed in was a five-star hotel near the Kings home arena.
This is Lin Tian's first time here. The five-star hotel in this California capital city is pretty good and has all the facilities. It's at least better than his apartment in Los Angeles.
It was still early, and not long after they put away their luggage, they walked into the Golden One Arena, the home arena of the Kings, under the leadership of the head coach.
It is said that this is one of the most advanced arenas in the NBA. The arena has complete supporting facilities and can accommodate more than 20,000 fans.
After walking around in the arena and arriving at the training hall, Scott organized the players to start a day of training.
After individual training, it’s time to practice together again.
Although Lin Tian has copied the peak abilities of several players, he never dares to slack off in training.
Especially with Kobe urging him on.
Kobe wouldn't care about other players, but when Lin Tian was doing personal training, Kobe would sometimes couldn't help but say a few words.
Sometimes he even seemed to regard himself as a sparring partner, which made Russell and others jealous.
But they also knew that Kobe had high hopes for Lin Tian.
After a day of training, Lin Tian was very tired when he returned to the hotel in the evening.
They trained for a total of six hours today, which is considered a relatively short time.
If they are playing a home game, they may usually train for more than eight hours a day.
The first thing Lin Tian did when he returned to the hotel was to turn on the TV and watch an NBA game.
Sometimes Scott would organize them to watch other teams' games together, but that was usually more convenient in Los Angeles.
In other cities, they usually decide their own time at night, as long as they can be contacted by the team at any time.
The live broadcast Lin Tian watched today was the Warriors playing the Cavaliers.
In the finals of last season, the Warriors successfully won the NBA championship 4:2. Since then, the game between the Cavaliers and the Warriors has been called the "Battle of the Cavaliers."
However, the Cavaliers' lineup in the playoffs last season was not complete. When they reached the finals, in addition to James, the Big Three, Irving and Love were all injured.
And this time, the other two giants have also returned from injury! So tonight's live broadcast is also very popular.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is: James, Love, Irving, Jr. Smith, Tristan Thompson.
The Warriors' starting lineup is: Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut.
Among them, Bogut can be called a false starter. Under normal circumstances, his playing time will not exceed the playing time of substitute Iguodala.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Splash Brothers felt hot and their three-pointers were frighteningly accurate.
Among them, Klay Thompson hit 4 three-pointers with almost no dribbling. The Cavaliers could not guard their three-pointers at all.
