886: Elementary School Students Are Tragedy Again (5/5)
The canvassing videos between Curry and James are indeed very popular on the Internet.
After Link got up the next day, he saw countless people reposting videos of Curry and James on social media.
Curry's canvassing video is quite ordinary. He accidentally talked about topics related to All-Stars in an exclusive interview.
As the Warriors' record soared this year, Curry, who was abnormally accurate in three-pointers, also gained a much higher fame than before.
NBA has made at least 5 three-pointers and sent at least 5 assists in a single game.
And the youngest player in NBA history to hit 1,000 three-pointers.
These two historical records made Curry famous.
So the host asked Curry, "With such a high popularity, do you have the confidence to challenge the position of the All-Star Ticket King?"
Curry also answered naughtyly, "Although it's very difficult, I do want to try it! Come on, vote for me, now you can open the NBA official website to start voting, and Chinese fans can vote for me."
Curry instantly started canvassing votes, which caught the host off guard.
However, Curry's cute and friendly personality in the interview is very popular among fans. Therefore, Curry's canvassing video has become popular on the Internet, and it must have really attracted a lot of votes for him.
After that, LeBron James.
In the season where supernovas such as Link, Curry and Leonard rise, LeBron, the former league's number one player, seemed to have some meaning of a decline in popularity.
When he announced his return to the Knights in the summer, it did cause a great sensation.
But after playing a few games in Cleveland, James' popularity fell instantly.
The reason is also very simple. First of all, the Cavaliers' record this year is not outstanding. It's only 14 wins and 10 losses to the present, which is really ordinary. What's more, it's when the Grizzlies and Warriors compare the two high-winning teams.
Secondly, the Cavaliers’ Big Three did not give everyone much surprise. Once upon a time, the Big Three Celtics and the Heat have brought many shocks to everyone.
But now, the Big Three mode seems to be no longer new. At the beginning of the season, the Cavaliers were still very popular, but after seeing more people found that the combination of Irving, James and Love was just like that, as if the Heat had changed their skin.
In addition, James deliberately or unintentionally saved his efforts from the regular season this year and did not attack with all his strength, which further reduced the viewing ability of the Cavaliers.
Therefore, James' attention this year is completely inferior to Curry and Link.
Therefore, James recorded a canvassing video for the first time in his career. James probably was afraid that he would not be able to make a video, and fans would forget about himself.
As the "pride of heaven" who once had no need to worry about exposure and popularity, now he needs to borrow canvassing videos to attract votes.
I have to say that the new and old alliances are really changing quickly.
James's influence and fan base were there, so once the video was released, it was also popular on the entire network.
Now it seems that the All-Star voting topic is full of James and Curry's names, and Link seems to be gone.
But Link was not worried about this. He believed that he didn't need to do those fancy ones, and he was still the winner...
※※※
Stephen Curry finished his training early today. As soon as he got home, his wife and children didn't care about it, so he just held the computer and frantically refreshed the voting page of the NBA official website.
Looking at the voting page, Curry's eyes were extremely focused.
He really hopes to beat Link once.
This year, the Warriors emerged and a 16-game winning streak made the entire Warriors team, including Curry himself, feel a little fluttering.
However, after fighting with the Grizzlies, the Warriors were slapped back to reality.
Link used the data of 29+10+10 in the third quarter to tell them, "If you want to win the championship, you will line up behind you!"
Curry performed poorly in that game and did not pose a threat to the Grizzlies at all, and was considered a complete defeat by Link.
Before that, Curry had been thinking about the best moon, and was also taken away by the injured Link.
Now, although the Warriors are still the number one in the West, they only win half a game ahead of the second-place Grizzlies.
In other words, as long as the Grizzlies win one day and the Warriors lose, the number one in the West will change hands.
Therefore, Curry has been under great pressure recently.
In the last game, the Warriors almost failed. Westbrook and Durant, who returned from injury, scored 63 points together, which was really scary.
If Curry hadn't seized the opportunity in the last few key rounds, the Warriors might have been second in the West now.
It's too tiring to be the number one in the West. Curry is worried every time the Grizzlies win.
Curry and the Warriors seemed to be completely suppressed by the Grizzlies and Link, as if whenever Curry was about to emerge, he would be suppressed by Link.
Curry, who is 27 years old, needs a chance to take action in three months.
Curry entered the league as the seventh pick in 2009. He was the NCAA scoring leader and broke the NCAA three-point record. But even so, because he was too thin, he failed to enter the top five of the draft.
In his rookie season, Curry averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game, and was selected for the All-Rookie Team for the first team.
In the second year of the rookie, Curry's data steadily moved forward, averaging 18.6 points and 5.8 assists per game, but because Monta Ellis is in the team, Curry is not the boss of the team. In addition, the Warriors' poor record has led to Curry's lack of exposure.
Curry left a deep impression on people at that time. What everyone talked about most was that he and Ellis were snatching the right to take action every night.
In the 11-12 season, the Warriors sent Ellis away and exchanged the Bucks for Australian No. 1 pick Bogut. This move surfaced the Warriors' determination to carefully cultivate Curry.
Curry thought this would be the turning point of his career and the beginning of his career. However, things went against his wishes.
Curry only played 26 games due to an ankle injury throughout the season. At this time, many Warriors fans blamed the management for not having any vision. They thought it was stupid to send Ellis away and straighten Curry. Because Curry was not worthy of use at all, he was a glass man.
As a result, Curry only signed an inexpensive contract extension with the Warriors due to serious injuries.
At that time, Griffin signed a five-year maximum salary contract with the Clippers. What about Curry and the Warriors? It was only 44 million in four years.
Just this, people said at that time that the Warriors spent money in vain.
In the following 12-13 and 13-14, although Curry was healthy, he also performed more than his price. However, in the past two years, people have discussed James and Link, the Heat and the Grizzlies.
The Golden State Warriors are like a supporting role. Except for the elevator door tactics being banned, they seem to have no chance to make headlines.
At this time, it has been five seasons since Curry ambition to enter the NBA. In five seasons, nothing has been achieved!
Finally, in his sixth season of his career, Curry got the chance to make a comeback.
His three-pointers began to be watched by more and more people, and his team entered the fans' horizon because of their record.
He had enough of those days of being excluded, he had enough of contempt and failure.
He wants to win, even if he only wins once. Even if he is just an All-Star ticket king!
He longed to be affirmed for too long.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Curry excitedly refreshed the voting page, and the results of the first round of voting were finally released on the NBA official website!
Curry twitched excitedly at first, but then turned off the computer without any odor.
Voting results show that Curry surpassed LeBron James with 640,000 votes this year, becoming the second player in the first round of NBA All-Stars voting!
Curry was very excited to be able to lead James by up to 80,000 votes. 64,000 votes are no less, and he believes that he is definitely not too far from Link.
As a result, when Curry looked at Link's votes, Curry almost thought he was dazzled.
For this reason, he also deliberately refreshed the page several times in case the data showed an error.
But after trying several times, the votes still remained unchanged, Curry gave up.
Link ranked first in the first round of voting with 1.01 million votes!
1.01 million is nearly twice as high as James's 560,000! Compared with Curry's 640,000, the gap is also obvious and it is impossible to catch up.
Under Link's voting results, there is a line of small words: The first player in NBA history to vote in the first round of voting, with more than one million votes!
Link threw Curry and James far behind without any fancy things.
Chapter completed!
