On the 23rd, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Mavericks at home.
Wang Zelin will continue to be absent from this game.
The Mavericks have previously had 23 wins and 19 losses. They are one of the teams in the Western Conference that is hovering on the edge of the playoffs!
Although the opponent is a legendary German veteran, because Wang Zelin cannot play, tonight's game still lacks some topics and traffic.
After the game, the situation on the field was as ordinary and lackluster as many media expected...
To put it bluntly, it lacks passion!
Both sides performed normally tonight. In the end, the Portland Trail Blazers, who were missing one of their generals, had the last laugh with their better overall strength.
106 to 95, easily defeated the Mavericks, avoided two consecutive losses, and improved the record to 35 wins and 6 losses.
…
After playing against the Mavericks, the two-game suspension has expired. I would like to welcome Mr. Wang back to the team (√)~~~
Of course, if he had a choice, Wang Zelin would actually prefer to come back on the night of the 26th when they play against the Thunder. Because the opponent of the Trail Blazers on the 25th is the Timberwolves, the effect of defeating them is average, and it is not as effective as beating the Thunder.
As for whether he would overturn his opponent like Rondo did, Wang Zelin didn't have this question in his mind at all.
But before playing against the Timberwolves, another big thing happened in the league
On the morning of January 24th, the NBA officially announced today the starting lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences of the 2014 All-Star Game, as well as the number of votes for players selected for the All-Star Game.
Eastern frontcourt:
Not surprisingly, the player with the first vote is LeBron James, with a total of 1,541,649 votes!
Second is Paul George of the Pacers, with a total of 1,311,382 votes.
Third place is Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, with 955,702 votes.
Fourth is Pacers main center Roy Hibbert, with 542,809 votes.
Fifth is Bosh, with the number of votes...
The Eastern backcourt players are led by Wade, who received 1,029,242 votes. He is the only player in the Eastern backcourt to receive more than one million All-Star votes.
Ranking second was Irving, who was in the limelight during the first two rounds of the All-Star Game. Unfortunately, after the last two rounds, Irving was overtaken by Wade, with 880,221 votes.
Third is Wizards head John Wall with 393,129 votes.
In fourth place, it was the turn of Derrick Rose, the youngest MVP in history, with 359,546 votes.
Rose's experience made countless fans feel sad, and also made many players even more uncertain about the fear of injuries.
So what if you are gifted?
In the face of injuries, everyone is equal!
Over there in the west.
The backcourt is led by Kobe Bryant, and the Black Mamba, who has not suffered a torn Achilles tendon, is very aggressive. Not only has he led the Lakers tenaciously into the top eight in the Western Conference this season, but in terms of personal data, Kobe's performance is also not as good as in the original history. So defeated.
The 24.2 points per game was Kobe's second-lowest score in a single regular season since the 21st century.
The last time Kobe averaged 24 points per game was when the Lakers tried to form the F4 Galaxy Battleship for the first time. At that time, it was purely because of the lack of possession of the ball that Kobe's scoring plummeted from 30 points per game last season. An average of 24 points.
This year, Kobe's scoring average has dropped by 4 points from 28 last season. It is rare that he does not rank among the top 5 in the single-season regular season scoring list, even ranking behind a second-year rookie...
Mr. Wang: "Yes, exactly this time!"
Kobe's decline in form is obvious to all, but this does not mean that the Black Mamba's offensive threat has been greatly reduced. It should be said that his fangs are hidden deeper.
After all, Kobe has had nights this season where he suddenly showed his fangs:
It was a night a few games after the Christmas Day game. The Lakers played the Jazz away from home. In Salt Lake City, facing the boos of thousands of people, the Black Mamba made 19 of 39 shots and 7 of 12 three-pointers. , made 8 of 10 free throws and scored 53 points.
Finally won a back-to-back game that many people thought was impossible to win before the game.
Therefore, after the news came out that Kobe, who had 24 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, led all backcourt players in the Western Conference with 1.423751 votes, there was no objection from the outside world.
Also, in the original time and space, Kobe played less than 10 games this year, and in the end he was still ranked second in the Western Conference backcourt. The number of All-Star votes was less than 20,000 votes to exceed one million.
The second-highest vote-getter in the Western Conference backcourt is Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, with 1,058,227 votes.
Facts have proved that no one can resist a man with a harmless baby face, but also an excellent and strong shooting skills.
Facing such a man, which fan is not fascinated by him?
Curry's rise has basically nothing to do with the original time and space. Unless there is a major injury such as season reimbursement, the birth of Curry should be only a matter of time.
Ranking third is Clippers captain St. Paul, with the number of votes...
Soon, Curry and Kobe will join hands to enter the starting lineup for this year's All-Star Game.
It is worth mentioning that Lillard, as a teammate of Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian, has undoubtedly made Chinese fans love him. The number of All-Star votes has increased significantly by 500,000 and 780,000 votes compared to the original time and space. He suddenly went from seventh to fourth in the Western Conference backcourt.
As a result, Lillard, who was originally selected as an All-Star substitute in time and space, will now be more stable.
Western frontcourt:
In fact, everyone already knew the player with the highest votes before it was announced - Wang Zelin!
The difference is that everyone wants to see how high Wang Zelin's votes are.
Finally on the 24th, they waited for the final result of Wang Zelin’s All-Star voting period: 2,247,858!
The terrifying 2 million All-Star votes!
There are nearly 700,000 more tickets than the second-placed James. To put it another way, there is a Lillard gap between James and Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin once again won the All-Star vote king with 2.24 million votes. His vote data is also the highest since the first 10 years of the NBA's new world.
Among the 14 NBA voting champions since the new century, it can also rank fourth, second only to the third 2007 All-Star voting champion James with 2.51 million votes.
As for the top spot, it’s amazing!
That was Dwight Howard, the 2009 All-Star voting king. At his peak, Warcraft won the All-Star voting king that year with a record 3.151,081 votes. He was among the all-star voting kings since the NBA All-Star Game. The one with the largest number.
Ranking second in All-Star votes in the new century is Dayao, the 2005 All-Star vote king, with a total of 2,558,578 votes.
To be honest, Wang Zelin's 2.21 million votes are really high in this era!
You know, after the 2017 reform of the NBA in the last time and space, coupled with the help of the Internet explosion, James would have to wait for another three years until 2020 to break Howard's previous All-Star vote record of 3 million.
Besides, if this trend continues, there is a high probability that Wang Zelin will set the All-Star voting record in the future.
