"Oh, I know all of you are looking forward to the next moment... Let's see! From now on, I will announce the results according to the total number of votes, one for the East and one for the West... ....”
In the live broadcast video, the host was picking up the IPad in his hand to look through the list. After seeing the rankings, he first introduced the general situation and then announced it.
"The sixth-ranked player in All-Star votes in the Eastern Conference is... Kyrie Irving."
"The player with the sixth-highest All-Star votes in the Western Conference is...James Harden."
As soon as this ranking was read out, many supporters of the two players cheered in front of the TV. Although the two failed to enter the starting lineup, it is not bad to enter the substitute lineup due to their performance.
Each player has his own performance at different stages. This number of votes can only represent the current stage and is just a reference.
The important thing is to have an entry list.
Becoming an All-Star is not that easy!
This not only means that the data must be excellent, but also that the popularity must have a certain appeal. Both statistics are indispensable, but anything less than the same will be considered insufficient to become an All-Star player.
The host continued to announce.
"The seventh-ranked player in Eastern Conference All-Star votes is Dwyane Wade."
"The seventh-ranked player in the Western Conference All-Star votes is Kevin Durant."
Zhao Feiyang, who was sitting in front of the TV, was a little surprised when he heard this result.
It seems that some names should be at the top, and occupying the starting position should not be a problem. But in the end, the actual results were somewhat different from what was imagined, and some players did not enter the starting lineup.
The results continued to be announced, and soon it was the turn of the Eastern and Western players who ranked eighth in the vote. The two players were Klay Thompson and Chris Bosh.
Zhao Feiyang did not expect that neither of them would enter the starting lineup. He was surprised and began to guess when he would appear.
In line with the speculation of his agent David Stock, he felt that he would not be playing for too long, and he might be ranked ninth.
At least according to estimates, Zhao Feiyang thinks so.
However, after the host announced the results, Zhao Feiyang felt something was wrong.
"The ninth-ranked player in Eastern Conference All-Star votes is Al Horford."
"The ninth-ranked player in the Western Conference All-Star votes is Chris Paul."
There was another uproar outside the court.
Even the guest responsible for the live broadcast commentary was surprised.
Zhao Feiyang felt a little panicked at this time. He didn't know what his support rate was, and why his name hadn't appeared at this time!
Although veterans like Chris Paul are indeed very powerful, in terms of popularity, as a Chinese, his support rate should not be too bad.
Not only him, but also some die-hard fans on China's Internet who still insisted on watching the live broadcast also discovered something was wrong at this time.
"Why hasn't Zhao Feiyang's name appeared yet? It shouldn't be! There's no way his support rate is so low!"
"Chris Paul's votes are less than 500,000, and Zhao Feiyang's votes have exceeded 500,000 before! What happened? It should be impossible to lose in online voting!"
"I don't understand what is going on! I think with the voting ability of Chinese fans, Zhao Feiyang should have been selected in sixth place. It is impossible to wait until now..."
"Is it possible that the NBA deliberately didn't count our votes? But it doesn't feel like it should be! For such a big league, there is absolutely no need to care about this kind of thing..."
Fans began to speculate.
Zhao Feiyang himself was also puzzled.
At this time, the results of the 11th-ranked Eastern and Western Conference votes also came out. The two substitute players selected this time were Russell Westbrook and Jimmy Butler.
After the results of these two people came out, the atmosphere at the entire live broadcast suddenly became tense.
Everyone knows that there is only the last spot left, and if not selected, it means that there will be no chance to play in the All-Star Game this time.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you are not selected, but the players all have face.
Especially in this league, exposure means everything, it means getting more endorsement opportunities, making more money, and getting more attention from fans.
If you lose in the live show, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to your reputation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived... There are still many players in our reserve field, but we will only select two more lucky ones... ..”
"Before the results come, let's break in for an advertisement..."
Many fans in front of the live show were cursing, and Zhao Feiyang also complained a little unhappily.
At this time, the agent David Stock called again. David Stock was also very worried about the fact that Zhao Feiyang's name had not appeared for a long time.
"Zhao, I don't know what the situation is... I mobilized everyone around me to help you vote... Logically speaking, I think your number of votes will not be less. The worst he can do is be picked at No. 9..."
"I don't know what happened... Even if the American fans don't support you, there are still so many Chinese fans, and their votes can fully support your entry into the All-Star substitute lineup... "
Zhao Feiyang lay on the sofa and sighed, "David, no matter what, let's wait for the results! I don't know what the damn voting is about..."
Soon, the commercials on the live show finally ended.
The host once again picked up the Ipad in his hand to announce the results, "The exciting moment has finally arrived, and I will announce the results below... The player ranked 12th in Eastern Conference All-Star votes is Jeff Teague... ..."
It was the Western Conference's turn to get the results. Zhao Feiyang rolled over and got up from the sofa, sitting up straight and waiting for the final results.
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean in China, there are also some die-hard fans waiting for the final result.
Many people are a little pessimistic about all this.
"It's over! I'm afraid Zhao Feiyang won't be able to play in the All-Star Game this time... If not, he can participate in some other event. It's a pity that Zhao Feiyang's dunk is average, otherwise he would go to the dunk contest and let the whole world see it. Look what our Chinese flying men are like..."
"Forget it about the slam dunk contest, Zhao Feiyang is not that good... It would be better to go to the three-point shooting contest. I think he will definitely win the championship..."
"You can also go to the Skills Challenge. Anyway, you need to increase your presence. This will also help his exposure..."
Live broadcast.
After a brief hesitation, the host finally read out the last name.
"The player ranked 12th in All-Star votes in the Western Conference is..."
