"You got a lot of votes." Several days have passed since the NBA All-Star voting, and Li Hao's votes are already far ahead, more than twice as many as the second place.
Because Anta has officially become the official partner of the NBA, this year's NBA All-Stars also opened voting on Weibo, which immediately reminded the league of the fear of being dominated by Chinese fans.
Yao Ming was able to put O'Neal on the bench when he first entered the league, and Yi Jianlian was able to put Garnett behind him. Unfortunately, the league swallowed up the votes of Chinese fans at that time.
Li Hao once saw other people discussing on the Internet about the All-Star voting of Chinese fans. Some people said that Chinese fans counted 7 tickets as one, and some said that 14 tickets were used as one. Some even said that Chinese fans’ votes did not count at all.
The last one must be false, otherwise Yao Ming will definitely not be the vote king. Although Yao Ming's performance is not very good, the way Yao Ming plays is not very entertaining, so Yao Ming's vote king must be the hard work of Chinese football fans.
So here comes the question, how is the vote of Chinese fans calculated now?
And now is different from before. Technology is developing, and so is the Internet. Even if voting on Weibo does not count, fans can still climb the wall to vote.
"What's the use of being ahead now?" The league's backdoor manipulation is known to the whole world. In order to better the backdoor operation, the league even changed the All-Star voting rules.
"That's not right. In this format? Will a new voting competition be born in advance?" Li Hao couldn't help but think.
However, there is nothing the league can do about the All-Star votes, even if Li Hao really operates behind the scenes. Instead of paying attention to the All-Star votes, it is better to shift attention to the game.
After defeating the Timberwolves and ushering in three consecutive victories, Lakers fans are looking forward to four consecutive victories, because the Lakers' next opponent is the Pacers, a team that has lost its star.
In August this year, when the Dream Team was zipping up, the Pacers' star Paul George had an accident while chasing Harden and broke his calf. This injury not only changed George's way of playing, but also caused the Pacers to lose their star in the new season. star.
George himself found love.
No one wants to see players injured, but as an opponent, this is a good thing. After all, Paul George is a very strong player.
And before this game, the Pacers had lost 8 games in a row. 8 games in a row versus 3 games in a row. You can tell at a glance what their state is.
So for this game, the Lakers feel that they are sure to win, and even the players have this mentality.
However, it has been a truth since ancient times that arrogant soldiers will inevitably lose. Besides, the Lakers are not strong in the first place. They have two talented players on the bench. Moreover, the recent series of intensive schedules has caused many players in the team to have problems with their condition and physical fitness.
Boozer has been on the bench in the last two games. Nick Young and Jeremy Lin are only good in one game. I don't know how many games they will play. Even other players are not very stable.
It's unbelievable to say that Li Hao is the most stable performer on the Lakers, followed by Kobe, Jordan Hill and other players.
The most unstable players are definitely Nick Young and Jeremy Lin. Both of them are capable of soaring points, but so far this season, they have been jumping around repeatedly.
Nick Young has played more games, but Jeremy Lin is far behind. So far, Jeremy Lin has only scored 20 points in one game, and only scored in double figures in one of the last four games.
There have even been cases where he scored 0 points for more than 20 minutes, and it was more than one game. Li Hao's strength will definitely shrink Jeremy Lin's living space, but even if it shrinks, it won't shrink that much.
So judging from the current situation, Jeremy Lin's problem lies with himself, the impact of injuries and his own condition.
The same was true for the game against the Pacers. He played 17 minutes and only relied on free throws to score 2 points and only had 1 assist. Nick Young performed well and scored 13 points.
But Nick Young alone on the bench cannot bring victory to the Lakers. In addition, today's starting players also performed poorly. Jordan Hill scored 6 points, and Davis, who replaced Boozer in the starting lineup, scored 0 points.
Kobe took 26 shots, hit 18 irons, and made 8 of 26, with a shooting percentage of 30%. Li Hao was as stable as ever, hitting 7 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. 23 points, 6 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block.
In contrast to the poor condition of the Lakers, the Pacers have recovered. In this game, two players scored 20+, and six players scored in double figures, truly reaching full bloom.
101:110, the Pacers ended their 8-game losing streak, and the Lakers' 3-game winning streak was ended.
…………………………………………
It's a pity that the longest winning streak was ended, but the Lakers finally had a few days of rest after this game. The game against the Pacers was on the 15th, and the next game against the Thunder was on the 19th.
"Everyone has a good rest in the next two days." Scott directly gave the players two days off, and did not regroup until the 18th.
Li Hao originally had two days off to go see Aomei. It had been a while since the last time the two met, but Li Hao had other things to do during this holiday.
An exclusive signature sneaker cannot be produced immediately after signing the contract. It requires the cooperation of the players and a series of tests. As expected, Li Hao spent the two days of vacation on this.
This is indeed the case. After returning to Los Angeles, Holtz took Li Hao away and was taken to a place with many instruments. Because Li Hao could not leave the United States now, Anta could only airlift complete sets of instruments.
Over the next day and a half, Li Hao conducted a series of tests on these instruments until the staff collected enough information.
After a day and a half, Li Hao finally understood why sneakers were so expensive. If he hadn't known about it, he wouldn't have believed that he had been testing for a day and a half just to make a pair of shoes.
"What other requirements do you have for shoes?" There are two sneaker designers coming together this time. In Anta's terms, they will try their best to satisfy Li Hao's needs.
"Good-looking and handsome. If possible, I hope the color of the sneakers is red." One of the two designers is Chinese, so he immediately understood what Li Hao meant.
"I also think red is good," the Chinese designer nodded.
"I don't have any other requirements?" Li Hao didn't understand sneaker design. He didn't pay attention to sneakers because of his wallet.
"We have designed several shoe logos. See if you like any of them." Li Hao seems to have not received any titles after being in the league for so long. As for his signature move, it seems to be shooting three-pointers, so I thought about it and made the final choice." The word "Hao".
Domestic fans like to call Li Hao "Brother Ritian". This is not a derogatory term, but a complimentary one, and this time the term is indeed suitable in basketball.
