Carter's popularity is not much, and the death button in the previous Olympics has attracted countless fans around the world for him.

But even so, it is surprising that Clark did not have many fewer votes than Carter.

Richard could have figured out why.

The first reason is that there are really no too strong forwards in the East, and Clarke is averaging 15.5 points, 11 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game this season, which is almost the top handful.

And it also has the advantage of the team's good record, and the Pistons are now firmly in first place in the East, which is also a plus.

The second reason must be that Richard and Yao Ming canvassed for him.

Richard felt that among Clark's 600,000 votes, it was estimated that at least 200,000 votes must have been cast by Chinese fans.

At the moment, the NBA may not realize how much influence Chinese fans have in voting, so China's votes have not shrunk.

These two reasons directly lead to the possibility that Clark will play as the starting forward in the East this year.

This is a terrible thief......

In the Eastern Conference All-Star, the two starting interior players turned out to be Pistons players, which is absolutely unprecedented in the entire history of the NBA.

Even when Richard coached the Trail Blazers Twin Towers, he never had such a situation of starting at the same time.

What surprised Richard even more was that Gerald Wallace on the Pistons team also got a large number of votes.

320,000 votes!

He is fourth in the Eastern Conference forward, just one point behind Grant Hill......

Gerrard's stats are not particularly exaggerated, but he dares to fight on the field, coupled with a rather low-key personality, I am afraid this is why he can win the favor of fans.

Richard doesn't know about other fans, anyway, domestic fans still appreciate this type of player.

In the backcourt, the East is a bit exaggerated......

The main reason is that there are too many big hands, Maddy, Iverson, Jordan and Kidd, and it is estimated that they will have to occupy four positions.

In the All-Star 12-man roster, five places are generally allocated in the backcourt, five places in the front court, and two more places in the center.

These four people alone occupy four places in the backcourt, and there is one more from Nash's side, and basically nothing else has anything to do.

It was with this in mind that Richard asked Ragabel and the small forward to run in the first place.

Carter can run as a small forward anyway, and there is nothing wrong with Bell doing this.

When it comes time for the coach to choose the bench, Richard will start shaking people again, and there is a good chance that he can also get Bale into the Eastern forward lineup.

As a result, the Pistons are too scary this year......

Yao Ming, Clark, Gerrard, Bell and Nash, who happen to be the Pistons' No. 1 starting lineup, may all be selected as All-Stars!

If it succeeds, it will definitely be a great achievement that will go down in history.

……

After the time entered January, Richard was also waiting patiently, Yao Ming still had half a month to go, and he could successfully bind the props, and Yao Ming's offensive firepower would definitely be greatly improved.

The current Yao Ming's offensive firepower is of course quite powerful, but when facing the league's top inside, there is no good way to play strongly, and he can only rely on mid-range shots to score.

A big center relies on mid-range shots to score, and the shooting percentage will naturally not be too high.

Generally speaking, the top traditional center has to have a 55% shooting rate at its peak.

If the hit rate is less than 50 percent, then there is no talk of interior dominance.

O'Neal, for example, has shot more than 60% from the field for most of his career.

At present, Yao Ming averages 49.6% per game, which is certainly not low compared to those outside players.

But compared to those historical-level super insiders, this hit rate is definitely not enough.

However, Richard is not in a hurry, Yao Ming's growth is by no means something that can be completed overnight.

When Yao Ming's strength and tonnage reach the standard, coupled with the assistance of Tiangou, the hit rate will definitely soar.

……

On January 17, today was the last day of Yao Ming's three-month streak of 20+10, and there was a game against the Los Angeles Clippers that night.

Richard's face was excited, after tonight, Yao Mingke would be different.

The Pistons also saw Richard's excited expression, and they all wondered in their hearts that there was nothing to watch in tonight's game against the Clippers.

The Clippers are a well-known garbage team in the league at the moment, and the Pistons can easily beat the Clippers, and I don't know why Richard is so excited.

"Da Yao, you work hard tonight, and strive to make some data!" Richard took advantage of Yao Ming's sitting on the bench and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder.

"Coach, how exciting do you want to be?" Clark asked with a smile.

"The more exciting, the better, tonight is a special day, Clark, give Da Yao more card slots tonight." Richard said with a smile.

Clark nodded, and after the results of the first-round All-Star voting came out, Clark couldn't be more excited.

He currently has more than an 80 percent chance of being able to get the position of starting forward for the Eastern Conference All-Star, which makes Clark happy all day long.

Clark himself knows very well that according to his growth trajectory, let alone an All-Star starter, he may not even have a chance to be selected as a substitute.

But now that he is under Richard, he has really soared.

He also knows very well that with his own strength, if he is placed in another team, he really has a chance to play the top inside data of the 20+10 level, but he is quite satisfied with the current situation and has not had any thoughts of leaving the team.

It's really comfortable to play in the Pistons, the team has a good record, and you don't have to worry about the team's record.

The atmosphere in the team is also good enough, with the evil star of Richard, even the dishonest thorn does not dare to come forward.

He even had the idea of wanting a piston.

……

"Don't worry, coach, tonight's opponent is the Clippers, and it will definitely be quite easy." Yao Ming also nodded.

He doesn't have a big thirst for stats, as long as he can get by, plus the team's record is good enough, that's enough.

At least for now, Yao Ming is quite satisfied with his data.

However, since the coach said that he wanted to play big data, Yao Ming will definitely not shirk it......

……

At the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides began to appear.

The Clippers' record is quite embarrassing, in fact, Richard is a little confused, because looking at their lineup, it really can't be said to be bad.

Odom, Corey Margeti, and Andre Miller are all pretty good players.

But the trio couldn't get together, and they only managed 11 wins after the halfway point of the season.

By the end of the season, they will have only won about 20 games, and it will be difficult to reach 30.

……

The Clippers have no interior players, and they are just a parallel champion Olowokandi, who is naturally not the opponent of Yao Ming and Clark, and the Pistons will definitely focus on the interior tonight.

As soon as the game began, Nash's pass was accurately passed to the hands of Yao Ming, who made a violent dunk directly on the head of Olovo Kandi!

Originally, Olovocandi also had the idea of wanting Yao Ming to look good......

After all, everyone is a champion, and they are all center forward players, since 96 years ago, there are only three real center champions.

Olovo Kandi, Kwame Brown and Yao Ming......

Duncan, Kenyon Martin and Brand are all major power forwards.

Looking at the list of these three people, I feel a little embarrassed, because except for Yao Ming, the other two are parallel imports......

Countless media have compared Olovo Kandi and Kwame Brown to Yao Ming.

Kwame Brown is okay to say, after all, he is still young, and there are still many people who have high hopes for him.

But Olovo Candi is not young, he entered the league in 98, and he is almost 28 years old now, and he is about to pass his golden peak.

After some comparison, the major media came to a conclusion that Olovo Kandi is completely a scumbag compared to Yao Ming......

You say that Olovocandi is not angry, he is mad with anger!

has been looking forward to this game for a long time, but he has no grudge against Richard, mainly because he wants to play data on Yao Ming, and then bet on the mouths of those media.

But now as soon as it opened, reality poured cold water on him.

Under Clark's position, he didn't even get close to Yao Ming, and was directly deducted by Yao Ming.

The next few offensive rounds were nothing short of a nightmare for Olovokandi.

Yao Ming, with the help of Clark, won one after another.

It stands to reason that Odom can actually make up for Yao Ming, but first, he doesn't work hard enough defensively, and second, he doesn't concentrate on defense.

After a brilliant rookie season, Odom has now been beaten back to his original shape, and the data has shrunk a lot from his rookie season.

The defensive end is not working hard enough, and the offensive end is also starting to be out of tune.

Richard frowned when he looked at it, anyway, Odom was a member of their West Lafayette, and looking at Odom's stance, it was likely that he would return to his old ways.

Thinking of this, Richard felt the need to find time to talk to Odom.

He actually likes Odom as a player, he has a more lively temperament, is quite righteous to his teammates, and has no bad intentions......

In terms of strength, the performance of his rookie season is enough to prove that this product is full of talent!

But because of the low requirements for himself, or because he met someone unladylike, this product went astray.

……

The Clippers' interior defense is completely like paper paste, and it can't stop Yao Ming's offense at all.

By the end of the first quarter, Yao Ming had scored 18 points.

By the way, there are 6 rebounds and 2 blocks!

Richard nodded with satisfaction, he will definitely be able to get 20+10 tonight, maybe after the game is over, Yao Ming will be able to start binding props.

……

In the second quarter of the game, Yao Ming continued the crazy firepower output in the first quarter, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

After only half a game, Yao Ming had already recorded 32 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, completely tearing up the Clippers' restricted area.

Looking at the situation on the court, Richard almost understood why the Clippers' record was so rubbish.

The main thing is that they don't have the slightest desire to win, although the lineup is okay, but the players on the court are like going through the motions, and the defense is not hard enough at all.

Especially Odom, a big leader in the team, deserted on the field, and even had an embarrassing situation of passing the ball to Richard.

In this case, it is almost impossible for the Clippers to play well.

After the third quarter of the game, the Clippers completely gave up the fight.

Yao Ming recorded another luxurious statistic in the first three quarters, with 47 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks, completely dominating the court.

Originally, if he continued to play according to this situation, Richard felt that Yao Ming might get 60+20 historical top data tonight, but with the Clippers announcing their abandonment, Richard was not embarrassed to continue to let Yao Ming brush ......

failed to play the whole game, Richard naturally felt a pity.

But now he can't care so much, because then it's time to bind props, and Yao Ming will be reborn!
