Chapter 494 Barbie Q!(2/2)
Durant has always been a straightforward character, so this sudden philosophical tone is very surprising.
"It seems a little different?"
Durant also reacted.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
Because both of them realized that if the words just came from Lin Ying's mouth, there would be no violation at all!
So I can only say that those who are close to Zhu are red!
Putting aside their experiences in the NCAA, Durant was somewhat affected by the fact that they spent a lot of time together in the Nets.
After laughing, they turned their eyes to the TV.
The tnt program has started.
It was at this time that Lin Ying's premonition became stronger.
Is Durant really going to miss out on the starting lineup?
Before the start of TNT's programs, there is a foreshadowing to arouse fans' interest.
But this time, perhaps knowing that the fans have been waiting for a long time, they announced the All-Star voting results immediately after a brief review-like foreshadowing.
Of course, what was announced at the beginning was definitely not the Eastern frontcourt starter.
The first vote winner announced.
Although the Cavaliers tried their best to compete for James' vote king this time, Lin Ying still won the All-Star vote king in a way that had no suspense.
This is the fifth consecutive year that he has been elected as the All-Star vote winner!
5 votes in 8 seasons, this is probably only Jordan's 7 consecutive votes can compete!
After announcing the vote winner, O'Neal then followed their way and began to announce the results of the first votes in the Western and Eastern Conferences.
They didn't announce it by vote count, but by position.
In terms of the Western Conference backcourt, the final results of the top five are: Curry, Kobe, Westbrook, Harden, Paul.
This means that the starting combination of the Western team's backcourt will be Curry and Kobe.
Next is the Western frontcourt: Yao Ming, Leonard, Griffin, Green, Pachulia.
The frontcourt of the Western Conference team will be: Yao Ming, Leonard and Griffin.
Although Green overtook teammate Pachulia at the last moment, he regretted not being selected as the starter in the end.
The starting lineup of the Western Conference team was also announced: Curry, Kobe, Leonard, Griffin, and Yao Ming.
The Western Conference starts, followed by the Eastern Conference, which fans are most concerned about.
In terms of the Eastern backcourt, the final top five are: Wade, Lowry, Irving, DeRozan, and Butler.
This result can be said to be very different from the first-round voting results, but it can be explained.
This time the All-Star Game is held in Toronto, or it can be understood as Canada.
This is not a city's fans voting, but a country's fans voting for the Raptors.
Finally, it is the frontcourt that fans pay the most attention to.
Because Lin Ying is the top vote-getter, a spot in the frontcourt is automatically determined, so fans are focused on the results of the remaining two positions in the frontcourt.
O'Neal, Smith, and the guest "Magic" talked for a long time about Lin's vote-leading performance, and even compared it with Jordan. After helping him pretend to be cool for a while, O'Neal announced the second choice in the Western Conference frontcourt.
Kevin Durant!
Durant's votes are second only to Lin Ying and higher than Kobe!
Lin Ying was a little surprised when she saw this result.
It can only be said that his previous worries were a bit unnecessary.
In other words, he still underestimated the power of domestic fans.
Durant's popularity during his trip to China this summer actually speaks volumes.
Coupled with the Nets' previous 19-game winning streak, the enthusiasm of domestic fans has been fully mobilized.
Moreover, Pachulia and Kanter received very high votes this time, which also shows that the influence of overseas fans on All-Star voting is constantly increasing.
Then when it comes to heads, Chinese fans never lose.
Durant was confirmed as the second starter, and Lin Ying and the others were also happy.
Even Jokic breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually doesn't care that much about whether he can be selected as the starter.
Compared to that, he didn't want to stage a scene of beating up his teammates.
So now even if he is overtaken by James again, he has no regrets.
But Durant was focused on looking at the big screen.
The third frontcourt player in the Eastern Conference is the focus of everyone's attention!
"An incredible thing is that there is only a difference of 22,212 votes between them."
O'Neal did not directly announce the results. It seemed that he was not going to announce them one by one, but would directly release them both together.
This result can also be said to be quite suspenseful.
Because there were more than 20,000 votes, the results were indeed very close.
And even though O'Neal didn't announce it at this time, fans can basically guess who the third and fourth are, and they are definitely Jokic and James.
Because whether it is the reaction of the media or the fans, the suspense this time is actually three to two. Now that Durant's vote count far exceeds expectations, the rest is easy to guess.
It was at this time that social media also reached a climax.
"It's so fake. Jokic, a second-year player, only got 20,000 fewer votes than LeBron just by canvassing?!"
"Yes, Jokic and LeBron are not players of the same level at all. The current voting rules are too backward!"
"This year the minimum number of fans has really been set. Even Pachulia and Kanter almost started. Jokic relied on Chinese and Serbian fans to get this number of votes. Does this still respect the players?"
"NBA? Haha, it's just a garbage league that has been controlled by the Chinese!"
…
At Lin Ying's home, Durant rarely used his mobile phone to exchange words with the fans, but instead watched the results that were about to be announced.
Jokic also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he lost more than 20,000 votes, he is already very grateful to Lin Ying and Durant for what they did for him.
Of course, what's more important is that he can finally relax a little. He has really lost a lot of weight during this period.
In the TV show, O'Neal finally announced the results of the third and fourth places in the Eastern Conference.
Third, Jokic: 1111418 votes.
Fourth, James: 1,089,206 votes.
