ps: The Lakers are stronger after the trade, the fate of Marbury, Maddy and Iverson has been changed, and now history is smeared with still life, but it feels so good!

Finally, ask for a ticket!

On February 1, the NBA officially announced the final results of the 2009 All-Star vote, and the starting list of the East and West All-Stars was officially released. Cavaliers small forward James was named the "vote king" with a record 3140051 votes, and Rockets center Yao Ming was elected as the starting center in the West for the seventh consecutive time.

The so-called vote king naturally refers to the player who receives the most All-Star votes every year. For the most part, they were also the most popular players in the league at the time. But since the launch of the online vote, there has been no shortage of strange things, such as the embarrassing event that even the parties themselves are embarrassed to mention because of the fact that Garnett's debut was almost lost in space.

The All-Star ballot is the most direct reflection of a player's popularity, and it is also an important reference indicator for sponsors and advertisers to burn money. So, don't believe Garnett's sour words like "If the fans want to vote for Yi Jianlian, then vote well, I don't care", except for Tim. Duncan and a few other freaks, no one doesn't care about the number of their All-Star votes, which is a sign of money.

Among the many vote kings, there are several people with special milestone significance, first of all, Magic Johnson, who won the All-Star vote king in 1985 and 1986, of which he received 1060892 votes in 1986, and was the first star in history to exceed the million vote mark; Next is Michael. Jordan, starting in 1987, Jordan replaced the Magic to monopolize the All-Star ticket king for 7 consecutive years. And obviously. If he hadn't run to baseball after his first three-in-a-row championship. This horrific record will continue, as evidenced by his comeback in 1997 and 1998, with 2451136 votes in 1997 - you know, there was no such thing as online voting in the world at that time, and God knows how many votes the Flyer could get now, maybe 100 million?

Yao Ming, who came next, was the first person to break Jordan's vote record in 2005, with 2558278 votes in 2005. Year 2006. Yao Ming's votes slipped slightly as Chinese netizens' mouses were damaged in the voting a year ago, but he still won the All-Star title with 2342738 votes. This year, LeBron. James set a staggering record of 3140051 votes, not only being voted the top vote by a landslide, but also becoming the first player in history to receive 3 million votes. Of course, this does not mean that the popularity of the little emperor has surpassed all its predecessors, even ignoring the popularity of the Internet, Howard has received more than three million votes this year, and the two brothers have reached the top five positions in their second season. Directly threatens James, maybe next year the animal brothers can achieve a comeback.

Three million votes is just the beginning. With the rapid rise of twin fans around the world, coupled with the support of more than a billion people in China, it is not difficult for the two of them to become the king of votes.

In the East, the starting five Tigers will be: Wade, Ray. Allen, James, Garnett, Howard. Yi Jianlian trailed Garnett by 83,004 votes and ranked third behind Eastern Conference Forward, and finally missed the All-Star start. James became the first star to surpass 3 million votes. In addition, Ji Guoqiu, Ji Guoyi, Howard, James, Wade, plus Kobe Bryant and Duncan in the West, all broke the record of 2558728 votes held by Yao Ming.

In the west, the five starters are: Paul, Kobe, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu, and Yao Ming. Bryant received the highest 2921050 vote in the West. It is worth mentioning that in the last all-star count, Ji Guoyi received 1550598 votes, about 150,000 votes less than Anthony. But after the final voting results were announced yesterday, Ji's votes soared all the way to 2580295 votes, an increase of almost one million votes, while Anthony's votes were only 2278516. It is conceivable that once he is not selected as a starter, Anthony is likely to miss out on an All-Star in the highly competitive West.

Ji Guoqiu received 2590225 All-Star votes this time, ranking third in the West, second only to Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming. Ji Guosha received 2580295 votes, ranking fourth in the western region.

The 58th NBA All-Star Game will be held on Saturday, February 14 in Phoenix, USA. The event will be broadcast live on TNT and ESPN stations in the U.S. and in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. Phoenix hosted the All-Star Game in 1975 and 1995.

This time, the All-Star coach is Dunleavy Sr., which means that the Clippers have a good chance of having three players enter the NBA. Even if the Clippers coach is more shameless, he is likely to bring Crawford with him, and then the fans of Paul and Roy will have to scold their mothers!

Of course, there is another topic that cannot be escaped, that is, Yi Jianlian.

Garnett, an 11-time All-Star, was almost threatened in the East, and Yi Jianlian was ahead of Garnett in the last issue, and it was not until the final vote was announced that he was strangely overtaken, and everyone knew why. Yi Jianlian if he becomes the starting power forward in the East. This is definitely beyond the bottom line of the league.

"Yi Jianlian embarrassed Pierce and Granger."

Boston Globe columnist Mark Brown. Spears devotes himself to 3 pages. With the title of "Yi Jianlian - The Choice of the Chinese People", it is very dark about this big forward from China.

With the results of the All-Star poll updated weekly, a question has finally become a mystery in the hearts of Celtics fans, that is: Who is Yi Jianlian?

Most Americans still stop at pronouncing the New Jersey Nets forward because it sounds like a bit of a rap, but the truth is that a star-making campaign is building him into the next generation of Yao Ming. Another great star from China. However, the 7-foot, 238-pound sophomore looked better suited to play the Rookie Challenge than an All-Star.

"It's a topic that everybody is debating." "China has more people than any other country in the world, and a lot of them are NBA fans, and we saw what it was like when Yao Ming joined the NBA, including the twin brothers last season," Pierce said. ”

American fans are questioning the eligibility of Chinese players to enter the All-Star Rating, and at this time, of course, the three Chinese stars want to support Yi Jianlian, Ji Guoyi first said: "He didn't vote for himself, right?" I know he voted for me if anyone thinks he's not qualified. So ask the fans first. I remember Garnett saying in the newspaper, 'It's not about picking the NBA All-NBA team. It's an All-Star Game. 'The All-Star Game that fans want to see is the All-Star team they vote for. So, it's as simple as that, we were questioned last year, but the votes show that more people still like to see us play, and that's enough. ”

Yao Ming quipped: "I understand this feeling, because I have experienced the same thing, and it is a bad feeling." In fact, I was nervous back then. Because of me, O'Neill, I was on the bench and I was so nervous. I couldn't help but ask myself, 'Can I really do it?' Am I an All-Star? But Yi Jianlian has to understand one thing, he is not only playing for himself, but also for the fans who support him. ”

The All-Star turmoil was not big, after all, Yi Jianlian did not squeeze out Garnett in the end.

The big news was that on the first day of February, there was a big trade in the league and the Lakers didn't get a trade exception for the Clippers, but they still figured out a way to trade Bynum on their own.

The Lakers made a big deal with the Hornets on Feb. 1, and the Lakers sent Andrew Brown. Bynum + Corey. Margeti + 2 million cash in exchange for New Orleans center Tyson. Chandler and the '09 first-round pick, it's a money-equal deal.

The U.S. media believes that the Lakers have picked up another big bargain, which is much more reliable than the three-way deal they reported a few months ago. The 26-year-old Chandler is one of the best defensive centers in the league and will be completely free of conflict with Gasol. But his chronic foot injury plagued his watch this season, missing a full 30 games at the start of the season, and then averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in 15 games he played, a significant drop from last year. He appeared in 79 games last season, averaging 11.8 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

Before the season began, the Hornets were widely regarded as a dark horse in the championship race, but they finished ninth in the West with a 22-23 record before the All-Star break. The Hornets have been plagued by injuries this season with the arrival of new championship team member James Brown. Posey was injured after not playing a few games, plus Tyson. Chandler and Peja's slump, and the high expectations of the fans, also overwhelmed the team.

The bigger reason the Hornets agreed to the deal was that they couldn't afford Tyson. Chandler's hefty contract, the Hornets' total salary has exceeded the league's luxury tax trigger, and if nothing changes, they will pay $7.6 million in luxury tax next season. Chandler has two years remaining on his contract, totaling $24.6 million, and has a player option for the final season, with the option to jump out of his contract.

Apparently the Hornets are unlikely to break up the duo of Paul and West, and Peja. Stojakovic's contract is difficult to attract interest from other teams, so he has to choose to give up Chandler's $12.3 million contract this season to avoid the expensive luxury tax next season. Despite the fact that Tyson. Chandler's contract has a player option at the end of the 2009-2010 season, but it is clearly unrealistic to have him give up his final year of 13.2 million contract.

However, the Lakers don't have so many concerns, and the team's salary is even 100 million. Old Bass will do everything he can to get it done. Because the Lakers need a championship so badly. Old Bass, who is deteriorating in health, can't wait too long, money is not important to people like him, only the championship is the most important.

Besides, even if the Lakers really get 100 million in wages, they can earn it back, so they can afford it.

After this deal, Lakers fans are now on their knees for Kupchak. During this time, the trade rumors are all about trading Bynum, and to be honest, the little sharks have a very good table this season, even if they are not as good as the two neighbors, but their little sharks are also a qualified quasi-All-Star level player.

If it is given away for nothing, of course Lakers fans are unwilling, it is brain-dead behavior.

But now in exchange for Tyson. Chandler, immediately different, no one thinks that Chandler's real strength is like what he came out of after his return from injury, everyone knows that the boxing champion is playing with an injury, and the Hornets want to let the trading partner see the real thing. It was also for the team to make the playoffs, so Chandler made a comeback early. The latter is not at its best.

The Hornets don't feel at a loss, an injured 12 million defensive and weak center in exchange for a quasi-All-Star interior who can average 12+9 Jù per game in the Lakers' luxury team, the most important thing is that Bynum is completely healthy, and it is so cheap that it is only more than 3 million annual salary, this deal is too worthwhile for a small team.

The Clippers can't afford to trade their rivals for the time being, and they have a busy schedule against Eastern Conference teams in February, but the opponents are not strong, which is a good opportunity for the Clippers to take advantage of the opportunity to close the gap with the Cavaliers. Heading into February, the gap between the two teams is just two games, and the Clippers can't afford the Cavaliers to catch up if they want to guarantee home-court advantage in the playoffs all the way to the Finals.

On Feb. 1, the Clippers defeated the Washington Wizards; On Feb. 3, the Clippers defeated the Miami Heat; On February 5, the Clippers defeated the Orlando Magic in three overtimes, and Brother Panda got his sixth triple-double of the season in this game, and the total number of triple-doubles has reached 17; On Feb. 7, the Clippers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies; On Feb. 8, the Clippers beat the Atlanta Hawks back-to-back; Easily won Charlotte Bobcats on February 10; On Feb. 12, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Knicks, who had almost all of their main players, in their final game before the All-Star break.

It is worth mentioning that in the game between the Clippers and the Knicks, the Clippers won very hard in the end, and they led by 15 points in the final quarter, but in the end they were almost killed by Maddy's three-point shot!

Iverson and Maddie twitched, and it really scared old Dunleavy to pee!

Once an idol of Philadelphia, Aaron. Iverson was transferred to New York by the Nuggets in January, and the Knicks are now collecting the two major tumors of Iverson and Maddy, if it weren't for the Marbury to the Rockets, the joke in Ji Guosha's mouth may come true, and the Knicks will really break through the sky!

The two former superstars, now the cancer has come to New York, and the Knicks' plan is clearly to choose the champion!

But the pain is that the Knicks' record has risen instead of falling after the trade, with a record of 10-4 in January, and by the time they lost to the Clippers before the All-Star break, they had won eight in a row, and their record improved to 25-27, and they are currently ranked 9th in the East, only one and a half wins behind the eighth Pistons.

If this continues, the Knicks may make the playoffs.

There is an even more outrageous thing, last month's Western Conference Player of the Month was Yao Ming, the Little Giants averaged 25.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game in January, shooting 59.1% from the field and 89.5% from the free throw line.

The Eastern Conference Candidate of the Month is absolutely shocking, this person is actually Maddie who was traded to the Rockets, Tracey averaged 20.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game in January with the Knicks, shooting 44.1% from the field and 32.6% from three-point range.

Rockets fans are in mixed feelings right now, because Maddy's numbers and the Knicks' record have made it clear that they have returned to an All-Star level. But Rockets fans aren't going to beat their chests and feel remorseful. Because they exchanged Marbury is also not old, Marbury's performance throughout January is not inferior, averaging 17.2 points and 8.1 assists per game, shooting 44.6% from the field and 35.5% from three-point range, and helping the Rockets to a 9-4 record.

Of course, Iverson, who traded to the Knicks at the end of January, was also unrelenting, and although he only played nine games in New York, he helped the Knicks win eight in a row, and averaged 26 points, 6 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

Now the Knicks' nominal No. 1 position is Iverson, but the actual playmaker is Maddie at the No. 2 position, Iverson is more like a scoring guard, these two came to a team, and they were super complementary, shocking countless experts and glasses!

On Feb. 12, the league-wide game was suspended for the upcoming Phoenix All-Star Game, and the final roster and coaches of the East and West were also released.
