The older superstars of the NBA

The upcoming All-Star Game has also made many fans look forward to it.In order to make the show more interesting, NBA officials specially adopted some new methods for selection.

Regarding the All-Star game, the starting lineup was determined by the number of votes, which came from fans and the media; the substitute positions were selected by the temporary head coaches of the respective teams.

This time is very different, NBA officials specially set up an online voting session.This link is specifically for the bench lineup.

The starting lineup is still the same as before, determined by the number of votes.The substitute lineup is no longer selected by the head coaches of their respective teams, but voted by fans in the live broadcast.

As long as the All-Star votes reach the 6th to 20th players, they will enter the reserve area.All the fans have to do is to cast their votes online in a specific way. The more votes, the more chances the player has to appear earlier.

Originally, the roster of each team was 12 people. After subtracting the starting 5 players, each team needs to add 7 people to enter.

In this way, there are 15 players in each of the East and West competing for 7 positions.

Compared with the previous selection methods, this time is undoubtedly a lot more exciting, especially the online voting method, which has greatly attracted more fans to participate.

After such a fresh selection method was released, it quickly attracted the attention of fans.

In order to create enough heat, the nba officials specially put the live selection program three days later.During these three days, the officials continued to use various methods to promote, especially at the critical time of the selection.

Huaxia on the other side of the ocean soon learned of this news. Countless people who like to watch basketball think this idea is very interesting. Among them are some supporters of Zhao Feiyang. They also hope to help Zhao Feiyang regain his qualifications in this way. .

In the past, he was ranked among the top few, but this time he fell to the substitute list, which made many Chinese basketball fans feel uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, Zhao Feiyang's approval rate is getting higher and higher, and there will only be more and more people who like him.

But now he has fewer votes, which confuses many fans.

"What's the situation? I voted for Zhao Feiyang, and I pulled everyone around me to vote for Zhao Feiyang... I think his votes should not be so small... "

"That is, with so many fans in Huaxia, even if they are just passer-by fans, it is definitely not a problem for him to randomly get 100 million votes...how come he only has 51 votes now... .”

"I feel that domestic voting should be restricted. Didn't someone say that during the All-Star season last season? Some people in the NBA were very dissatisfied with our frenzied voting for Zhao Feiyang, thinking that we were cheating... Maybe this time someone deliberately messed up..."

"This is too much fun! They Americans count one person, one vote, so we can't do it? Isn't what they promote is a fan's festival? Since it's my festival, even if we have more votes, we should Respect us...."

There are quite a few fans talking about this matter, but they really have nothing to do with the number of votes.

Therefore, many fans who supported Zhao Feiyang decided to continue to support him on the day of the online voting. When a wave of votes is thrown out, Zhao Feiyang will definitely be able to enter the substitute list smoothly.

Soon it will be polling day.

Unfortunately, that day was Monday, and the voting time was three o'clock in the morning in Huaxia.This time point in the United States was [-]:[-] noon the day before, but it was a very bad time point in China.

The Americans are still celebrating the weekend, but the Chinese are starting a new week.

This is simply a nightmare for many office workers and students.

In a university in a certain city in China, in a male dormitory, a group of die-hard Zhao Feiyang fans who love basketball are waiting in front of the computer for the voting session.

The clock on the wall said five past one.

Although the six students in the boys' dormitory tried their best to support them, their eyelids were already fighting. In order to survive until the voting session, they found last year's NBA Finals to watch.

"Boss, is it two o'clock? Why is this getting more and more sleepy the more you look at it! The voting time is too stupid... The class is full tomorrow morning! It's still a class for the four famous arresters. If you get caught, you will die." deal......."

"It's still early at two o'clock! It's not even 01:30 now! I'm also drunk, can't the NBA choose an earlier time? It has to be three o'clock in the morning?"

"It's over! I feel like I can't take it anymore...... If you can't, go to bed first! Set the alarm clock, and we won't wake up until three o'clock... Otherwise, when will we wait until the end ?”

"Good idea, let's talk about setting the alarm clock.......Whoever you are, I will go to bed first......"

One person took the lead to sleep first, and the others followed suit.So, time passed by, and the six male college students showed no sign of waking up, only the sound of snoring one after another proved that they slept very soundly.

the other side.

In the apartment of an office worker, an old man with thinning hair was also waiting in front of the computer.

Seeing that it was only two o'clock, he was so bored that he had to take out his treasured USB flash drive, and gradually opened some video files with the words "island country is not hot", and the temperature in the room seemed to gradually increase.

"Damn! The island country area is too fake...it's really boring...change it and see how the European and American areas are..."

Half an hour later, my brother turned off those videos with a look of disgust, "The ones in Europe and the United States are not so good! Some of them are too heavy!"

"Otherwise, it's better to look at domestic products..."

Then, my brother searched for video files in domestic regions from various folders in his collection.

After some searching, my brother finally saw a title that excited him - "Slam Dunk: Akagi Haruko".Considering that it was related to basketball, my brother opened it without even thinking about it. Therefore, during a fierce basketball game, my sense of substitution became stronger and reached its peak.

Two 10 minutes later.

Snapped.

The old man turned off the computer with a look of disdain, cursing while shutting it down, "What is this filming? That's it? How dare you take it out at this level......"

"In the future, I will see that I am a dog..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm a little tired after the game, let's rest first..."

"Damn......Tomorrow is Monday again, and [-]% of children will have to work overtime again, and the hair of the overtime worker will be gone... His uncle's..."

At this time, the elder brother seemed to have forgotten his goal from the beginning, and had no intention of waiting for the voting session, so he turned around and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At the same time, it was the same for many fans in other places in China. They all failed to last until three o'clock in the morning due to various reasons.

Especially those office-going fans, it is extremely precious to be interested in such things after entering work. It is not easy for them to spare time to watch games and play basketball. It's something almost unthinkable.

However, time did not stand still because of all this.

In the United States on the other side of the ocean, NBA officials have started a live broadcast of online voting.As the new president of nba, Adam Silver even made an appearance in person and gave a speech on the show.

Minneapolis.

In a luxurious apartment, Zhao Feiyang was also sitting in front of the TV watching a live program at this time.Although he wasn't that keen on the All-Star game, after all, the selection of people really made people curious, so he ordered a fried chicken takeaway and watched the excitement while eating.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's All-Star live broadcast selection program. This time, a total of 15 players appeared in the alternate area, with 7 players in the east and west...Among them Only [-] of each have a chance to be an All-Star reserve...."

"Let's wish them good luck! The next selection will start soon, and I hope that all of you in front of the TV can use the voting method on the screen to cast your precious vote..."

With the end of Adam Silver's speech, the host also officially walked to the screen.

After he briefly introduced the rules of the game, he began to take out the players in the alternate area in batches.Every time a name is read, the player's information will appear on the TV screen, including his scoring average this season, and how he entered the NBA, basically telling the fans.

During the introduction process, some video highlights will also be released, and this 3-minute period is the time for fans to vote.

Voting is officially closed once the 3 minutes are up.

After the previous player finishes, the next player will follow suit.The total number of votes for the players was not revealed immediately, but the results were announced at the end.

"I rely on!"

"How does this feel like a draft?"

Zhao Feiyang watched it with interest.

When he appeared on the stage by himself, he even voted for himself, and even called his agent David Stocker to solicit votes.

"Hahaha...you guy, I'm also watching the live broadcast, I have already voted for you...not only me, but also my family members... "

"Would you like to say hello to my boy Walker? Hey little guy, come talk to your favorite player. …"

Zhao Feiyang didn't think too much, and chatted happily on the phone.He believes that with his own strength and reputation, it is definitely not a problem to enter the All-Star bench.

Although he doesn't have many votes, he still ranks seventh in the Western Conference. It's not surprising that he can't start, but he is definitely very high on the bench.

Therefore, he had nothing to worry about.

The 90-minute voting session ended quickly, and an advertisement was inserted in the official video, followed by the official announcement of the ranking results.

At this time, Zhao Feiyang also laughed with the agent on the other end of the phone, David Stocker.

"David, why don't we make a bet! Where do you think I will appear?"

"Zhao, I think it should be in the 6th to 9th positions in the West.......Man, if it were me, I would definitely make you the king of the Western Conference ticket......"
