250: All-Star Storm

The Lakers and Grizzlies did not end up winning the game, and no player played too explosive data.

Kobe scored 24 points and 9 assists, one less than a double-double. Bynum scored 15 points and 12 rebounds, but his shooting percentage of less than 40% ruined all this. Link scored 17 points and 8 assists and 6 rebounds. This game was Link scored a new low in the new season. Guy scored 19 points and still did not break through 20. Randolph scored 6 points and 5 rebounds, and he almost became a fake

But it was this game where there was no final victory and the stars did not play amazing data, but it became the highest-rated game of the day!

The scene where Kobe's three-point shot in the last moment was blocked by Link from the side was even scrolled by major TV stations, becoming one of the most classic moments of the season.

Although Link's data is not very amazing, his key defense in the last moment was talked about by people. It is said that after the game that night, Kobe practiced 500 additional shots for himself in the blocked position. Looking at this news, Link really felt sorry for Kobe.

"In fact, you didn't miss the key ball because of your shooting error, but because you were blocked. So strictly speaking, it's useless to practice more," Link muttered to himself. However, Kobe's paranoidness doesn't care about so much. He just needs a way to vent his inner dissatisfaction.

In any case, the game against the Lakers finally ended safely, and Link finally breathed a sigh of relief. His "Happy Sunday" was considered to be a safe passage.

One day after the game against the Lakers, the league officially announced the results of the first round of voting for the NBA All-Star weekend.

After the first round of voting, Magic center Dwight Howard ranked first with 754,737 votes, and once again took the position as the top vote.

Looking at Howard's current popularity, Link couldn't help but sigh. It's really thirty years since Hedong and thirty years after Hexi.

The second place is Kobe, who was blocked by Link just now and lost. Although he is second, the gap between him and Howard has been widened. As of the time being, Kobe's votes were "only" 690,613.

What Link is most concerned about is naturally the voting result of the Western Front Team!

What disappointed Link was that he was still third and failed to surpass Blake Griffin. The gap with first Kevin Durant was even bigger. But gladly, Link was not far from Griffin!

In the first round of voting, Kevin Durant won 633,538 votes, ranking first in the Western Conference forward group. Griffin, second in the second, 394,264 votes, but Link, third in the third, only nearly 5,000 votes were less than Griffin! With the number of votes based on one hundred thousand or even one million, the gap of 5,000 is simply insignificant!

Griffin was selected into the All-Star Game last season, and his popularity is terrifying. After Paul joined this season, Griffin was able to appear in the Five Daily Top 5 with various aerial relay dunks, just like a popular harvester.

But compared with last season, Griffin's progress has been very small. It can be said that he was like last season and this season is still like. How did he play last season and how he plays this year. His data has even slightly regressed compared to last season. Therefore, the fans' sense of freshness towards him is not as strong.

Even if you are violent dunks, you will get tired of watching them every day. Because of this, Griffin's popularity has declined compared to last season.

Link is completely the opposite. In terms of record, the Grizzlies have 6 wins and 2 losses this year, ranking among the top three in the West. In terms of data, Link still has 20+5+5 data, which is much more amazing than last season. Not to mention performance, it is a clean sheet of Westbrook, and a 40-point triple-double to get Rose. In addition, he played against Kobe's "death entanglement" at a critical moment yesterday and played less than ten games in the new season, but Link had several impressive performances.

On the basketball court, Link gives people a more fresh feeling. He can complete some offenses that could not be completed last season and play defenses that could not be achieved last season. In short, Link is giving people surprises everywhere.

Link has gradually entered the public's vision from a niche star. Therefore, his popularity is actually growing faster than Griffin.

When everyone thought Griffin was stable, Link came out halfway.

"He will be an All-Star player, and I believe Link has that strength."

"In NBA history, there was only Ben Wallace, who was able to enter the All-Star lineup as a undraft. Let's see if Link will become the second one!"

"For the undraft, it is already very difficult to survive in the NBA, let alone be selected as the All-Star."

"So far in NBA history, only three undrafts have been able to enter the All-Star Game, namely Ben Wallace, Brad Miller and John Starks. Among them, only Da Ben is the only one who can become All-Star Game! Bruce Bowen, Lagar and Bell are indeed familiar undraft players, but they have never had any relationship with the All-Star Game."

"No matter what happens in the end, this Chinese kid is making history."

As soon as the league's official voting results came out, Link was shocked. Unexpectedly, he, a person ranked third in the Western Conference forward team, received such great attention. People discussed him more times than Howard, the vote king.

It seems that the identity of a loser is sometimes easier to use than the No. 1 pick. It seems natural for the No. 1 pick to be selected as an All-Star, and people are too lazy to discuss it. And if you are also selected as an All-Star lineup, the attention you gained from the No. 1 pick is much higher.

Although most fans are happy to see this "sparrow turns into phoenix" happening, the Los Angeles media is an exception.

They naturally don't want their No. 1 pick to be blocked by a undraft, let alone Link has just defeated Los Angeles' most popular player. After continuing San Antonio, Los Angeles media also said that they had put Link on the blacklist and blacklist.

All of Los Angeles were waiting for an opportunity to refute Link. But what they didn't expect was that this opportunity soon appeared.

After finishing the game with the Lakers, on January 10, the Grizzlies ushered in their second match against the Thunder this season at home.

This time, Westbrook did not lose his chain. He made 12 of 20 shots and scored 30 points very efficiently, which was a shame to take over.

With Westbrook supporting the offense, Durant can put in more energy on the defensive end.

So on the Grizzlies, Link encountered Durant's tight pressure throughout the whole game, with 8 of 16 shots in the game, scoring 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Link's performance cannot be said to be poor, but it is indeed a bit far from helping the team win.

Randolph still didn't play today, and the Grizzlies suddenly lost a big offensive point. Although Spetz, who played for the first time this season, scored 10 points, his power was naturally not comparable to Randolph. Link was alone, so the Grizzlies lost the game in the end.

100 to 95, Thunder and Durant successfully took revenge, and the young guards finally let out a big sigh of anger.

However, no one expected that after the game, the one who was most excited was not the Oklahoma media, but the Los Angeles media!

One minute after the Grizzlies lost, the famous Clippers reporter John Buha said on Twitter, "If Link's votes eventually surpass Blake Griffin, it proves that there is a big problem with the All-Star voting mechanism. Because from any perspective, Blake Griffin is a stronger player. By the way, Griffin scored 22 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks today, and the Clippers won the game."
