"On the last day of voting for All-Star Weekend, are you ready? Ready to cast a precious and sacred vote for your hero? Is it not?? ”

"Eh, smash it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

“…… You die! ”

In the live broadcast room of the T runway, the two comic living treasures were on the live show, there was no live broadcast of the game that day, and it coincided with the deadline for voting for the All-Star Game.

"Hahahaha, the two of you are still as humorous as ever......"

Behind the long anchor desk, in addition to the golden pair of Barkley and Smith, there is also a host, as well as NBA expert Bill Simmons, and a person who is not small and rarely appears on such nonsense talk shows.

"So far, the voting for the All-Star Game in the East and West is nearing the end, and the final voting results will be available during our roughly hour-long live broadcast. About half an hour later, the voting channel will be completely closed, and the voting ranking at that time will be the final result! ”

The host looked at the return screen not far in front of him, and the director carefully updated the voting results in real time in the picture, as long as you glance at it, you can see who has overtaken and who has been left behind.

"Let's take a look at the voting so far!"

On the big screen, the voting results were also cut out, and countless fans stared at the screen and went to find the name of their idol in their hearts as soon as possible.

Seeing the location of the name and the number of votes marked at the back, and then looking at the votes of the upper and lower candidates, or shouting happily, calling friends to start drinking beer, or angrily slapping the table, taking out mobile phones and computers and starting to canvass for votes frantically.

"The situation in the East is clear at a glance, basically the starting lineup is very close to what we imagined!"

The host said: "The Eastern Ticket King, without a doubt, is currently recognized as the first person in the league, a super power forward from China, and the star of the past two championship teams of the Philadelphia 76ers - Chen Mu!" ”

Chen Mu's avatar appeared at the top of the list, and the number of votes below was staggering at a glance.

"I ......?!! with 2.3 million votes"

In the preparation room, after a day of practice and a nutritious meal, the Kings players who were resting gathered together, all staring at the TV and watching non-stop.

Two million votes, two ,300,000 votes, is a pretty scary number in this era of shrinking All-Star votes.

I still remember a few years ago, when Chen Mu received more than 3 million votes, the NBA official even made special arrangements at the All-Star Game appearance ceremony.

At that time, Chen Mu stood in front of a huge screen, with a bombarded expression, and the number of votes behind him continued to accumulate and superimpose, and the moment he finally broke through the three million mark, the audience was boiling.

"What a......!"

Gu Yu is a fan of Chen Mu, at least he used to be a die-hard fan, so he naturally remembers that scene clearly. Looking back now, my blood is still boiling, and my whole body is full of fanatical desire to play a good game of basketball.

Now, Chen Mu has not only become the "top card" star in the true sense of the NBA, but also has a faint appeal beyond the basketball circle because of his identity as a Chinese and his growing influence in other fields.

There are only a handful of people who have been able to have such popularity and have an impact on the world outside of basketball before - Jordan, Iverson, Kobe, James, just a few people.

Even superstars like the Magic Birds, O'Neal, and Duncan are not enough to compete with those guys.

If I have to say, Maddie's popularity in China has been very terrifying for a while.

This season, public opinion generally believes that the 76ers led by Chen Mu are the weakest team in the past four years - in terms of squad depth, this is indeed the case.

If Chen Mu can still win the MVP award this season, and finally successfully defend the title again and complete the three consecutive championships.

Then another indisputable dynasty in the history of the NBA, the Philadelphia Dynasty, will be born.

And the thing that many superstars fail to do – to dominate an era – is likely to kick off in front of everyone.

It's hard to win the championship, it's even harder to win the championship in a row, and it's even more difficult to win three consecutive championships.

Except in antiquity, there has never been a dynasty with more than three consecutive championships in the long history of the NBA.

It's not just that because you're strong, your opponents will study you, target you, and create a strong batch of opponents.

Moreover, because you are strong, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the value of the players in your team. Over time, your salary cap will start wailing and you will have to lay off players, trade, and let go of meritorious players.

Relying on the support of veterans and rookie firepower, it is difficult to maintain a dynasty of more than three years.

Philadelphia is currently going through this most difficult period. This season, not only has the team's main core roster been greatly damaged, but also because the salary space has been locked in by several core players, even the space for trade cannot be expanded. Seeing the players on your team leave one by one, but your opponents are getting stronger (Heat), the probability of veterans coming to join will naturally decrease.

The reality is that the Heat are starting to attract more and more veterans to join and have the potential to break Philadelphia's dominance in one fell swoop.

And throughout the summer, including most of the season so far, Philadelphia has hardly succeeded in bringing in reinforcements.

How heavy is the burden on Chen Mu's body? How much of an impact will the fans' insane desire for a triple title have on this team?

You asked Chen Mu, and he didn't know the answer.

This is also the original intention of the salary cap system and the luxury tax system - the NBA league does not want to see one team dominate, like the Celtics in ancient times, seven or eight consecutive championships at every turn, then everyone will lose interest in the league!

And if there are so many teams that can compete with you for the championship, or even better with a super team like you, it will be the best.

In the plane where you and I are, the situation of the Warriors and Cavaliers in the past two years is the league's favorite situation.

The so-called fighting the country is easy to defend the country, and it is like this.

"Another candidate for the Eastern forward position is naturally the league's No. 1 small forward, and even LeBron James, a superstar who has been called the No. 1 small forward in NBA history!"

1.36 million votes, which is far from Chen Mu in terms of votes, close to one million votes. But considering that Chen Mu is Chinese, this is not difficult to understand.

However......

"Damn you have fewer votes than me! Lao Tzu is going to the east!! ”

Gu Yu, fall!

"On the Eastern Guard line, LeBron's Heat teammate Dwyane Wade is still very popular. Although this season, Wade's personal data and court performance have begun to decline gradually, his energetic style of play is too popular, and he got 1.33 million votes and easily got the starting seat! ”

"Damn, it's still less than me! Lao Tzu is a proper starting point guard in the East, hey!! ”

And Derrick Rose, who is very likely to win the MVP award this season, also entered the starting lineup and got 1.51 million votes, leading the Eastern Conference guard lineup!"

"Uh...... It's not as good as ......."

Gu Yu finally quieted down a little.

"At the center position, the Eastern Conference starter is still Dwight Howard. The number of 1.6 million votes proves that Happy Boy's popularity is still bursting, and everyone still likes his funny and energetic life! ”

That's the starting lineup in the East.

"Rose, Wade, James, Chen Mu, Howard...... Hmmm......"

Everyone recalled the eastern list, and Evans frowned and said: "The body is really strong, all of them can fly away, it is estimated that it is really good-looking to fight, and no one can stop this fast attack." But the outside shot ...... It seems to be a little lacking. ”

"It's okay, there will definitely be quality shooters on the Eastern Conference bench."

Marcus Thornton said, "Joe Johnson, Bosh......"

"Hey, hey, what kind of shooter is Bosh??" Gu Yu rolled his eyes.

"In the Heat, his current style of play is a big shooter!" Thorton shrugged.

"Don't think too much about it, the style of play in the east will definitely be different from what you think."

Garcia was experienced, glanced at the list, and said coldly: "You look at who their head coach is, and then look at their lineup, you can basically deduce their style of play." ”

Coach......?

"The current head coach of the Eastern All-Stars is basically determined to be Tom Thibodeau of the Chicago Bulls!"

When everyone was curious, the host happened to introduce the head coach, and everyone looked at it and knew it.

"Thibodeau, huh...... It's really suitable, he couldn't be more suitable to teach this Eastern Conference All-Star! ”

Evans nodded: "the main force, the defense is desperate, all kinds of delays, help defense, joint defense, create counterattacks, and then the offensive end will hand over the ball to the superstar to deal with." The style ......of play is simple, rough and neat, although the lineup in the east does not seem to have a suitable three-point point, but it is estimated that it will be super strong when it plays under Thibodeau! ”

Isn't it super strong?

It's just invincible!

"The first person in the league, but also the first inside, the first big forward. The league's No. 1 small forward and one of the best No. 3 passers of all time. Two fast-break long-distance running raids in the backcourt, plus the league's No. 1 center, rebounding monsters, and earth-shattering explosive barrels in the restricted area......"

Cousins smiled bitterly: "This lineup can score 10,000 points in 48 minutes in 2K!" ”

"Let's take a look at the votes in the West."

In the host's voice, everything in the list on the screen was changed to the red color scheme of the west.

The Kings players immediately stepped forward to take a closer look, would Gu Yu's name be a surprise to appear on it, and the result was ......

Still held back by Paul...... Cousin! ”

Cousins was obviously unwilling, and turned back to Gu Yu and said anxiously: "Aren't you opening that webcast?" Mobilize quickly, canvass for votes, millions of people in a live broadcast room, one person gives you a vote and you will ascend to heaven! ”

"Canvassing ......??"

Who knew that Gu Yu rolled his eyes, clasped his hands stubbornly in front of his chest, and shook his head proudly: "I can't pull that face!" ”
