Chapter 73

Yun Chen didn't take it seriously. Seeing Tyronn Lue so excited, something must have happened, but how big of a deal could an All-Star vote do?
Tai Lun accompanied Yun Chen to the locker room. During training, he would not bring his mobile phone, and usually put it in his closet.

After a while of tumbling, he took out his phone.

Skillfully opened the browser on his mobile phone, he entered the keywords "2019 All-Star Ballot", but before he clicked the search button, a few lines of words appeared under the search box:

The 2019 All-Star vote for Li Yunchen is the first, the 2019 All-Star vote for Yuan Junjie is the second, the 2019 All-Star vote for Tang Yinchao Wall, the 2019 All-Star vote for Zheng Ye...

You don't even need to search anymore, just seeing these few lines of words, Yun Chen has already been petrified in place.

He didn't notice what happened during the All-Star voting period...

At the urging of Tylen Lu, he quickly clicked on the link to the news about himself.

Go in at one point, and an All-Star voting website pops up. This is an interface of the official NBA website, which counts various data of NBA All-Star voting.

At the bottom of this interface, Yunchen saw a statistical table, which contained the vote statistics of the Eastern All-Star frontcourt players.

2019 NBA All-Star Voting East Frontcourt Player December Vote Statistics Results:

No.1: Li Yunchen, with 603479 votes.

No.2: Giannis Antetokounmpo, with 401248 votes.

No.3: Joel Embiid, with 302645 votes.

No.4: Kevin Love, with 165863 votes.

No.5: Zheng Ye, with 132346 votes.

……

Seeing such a situation in the statistical results, Yun Chen froze in place for an instant, not even reacting to Tai Lun patting him.

For the first time in his life, he felt how powerful the Chinese fans are... As a rookie, although he is the best performer among all the rookies in the Eastern Conference except Tang Yin, he is indeed much worse than the few players below the rankings , they were directly sent to the number one position in the front field, which is unbelievable...

Immediately, Yunchen checked the number of votes in the Eastern backcourt:
No.1: Kyrie Irving, with 375464 votes.

No.2: Tang Yin, with 365435 votes.

No.3: John Wall, with 261234 votes.

No.4: Kyle Lowry, with 158466 votes.

……

Once again petrified, the power of the Chinese fans once again made Yunchen admire the five-body cast, not only his own frontcourt, but now the Eastern backcourt is almost dominated by Tang Yin, completely disregarding those long-established stars. .

"Coach, tell me the truth, have a lot of people gone crazy because of this vote recently?" Yun Chen asked at this time.

After all, there are two precedents of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming. Every time the Chinese have a brilliant performance in the All-Star ballot, there will always be some war of words.

Yao Ming beat O'Neal in the All-Star votes in his rookie season, which shocked the entire league at the time, and quite a few stars ridiculed him.

After that, Yi Jianlian's votes in the All-Stars once overwhelmed Garnett, who was at the peak at the time, and ranked first among the Eastern Conference centers. As a result, the league changed the rules of the All-Star voting because of him. At that time, there were also a lot of stars who came out to fight. , All kinds of ridicule for his high popularity.

It has to be said that the Chinese have always had a relatively large advantage in the All-Star votes, after all, the population is too large.

Hearing this, Tyronn Lue nodded, and said: "It's not just crazy, some people even want to file a joint complaint and let the alliance disqualify you from voting!"

"Joint complaint?" Yun Chen seemed to be sweating again, but it was just a vote, why are these people still online?Complaining about such a serious matter should not appear in this matter in his opinion.

"Yes, and I heard that many stars have already started planning this matter, and they all hope that the league can disqualify those players from your China." Tyronn Lue said again.

Hearing this, Yun Chen stopped talking.

Is this a bit too much?Although the league had canceled Yi Jianlian's votes before, but at that time he was the only one, and the average data per game was indeed lower. Compared with other competitors, it was much worse. It is understandable to cancel the overall situation.

But now there are five people at once. If the voting results of all five of them are cancelled, it is simply clear that Chinese players are not allowed to be selected as All-Stars, and the nature is completely different!

What's more, the average data of Tang Yin, Li Yunchen and Zheng Ye are not far behind even among the All-Star players.

Thinking of this, Yunchen searched again, and then searched for various related information in the sports news section, and found some reports.

The joint complaint was first raised by Marcus Morris of the Celtics. He first complained in his personal Twitter that several players in China were not capable but could occupy the All-Star list. It was against them. It was unfair, and then he began to form cliques, looking for like-minded "comrades" to file a joint complaint.

Serge Ibaka was the first to respond to the call. He is the center of the Raptors. He said on Twitter that he should be selected as an All-Star because he is strong enough to beat the Chinese team.

Seeing this, the corners of Yun Chen's mouth twitched: "Marcus Morris and Serge Ibaka, these two people jumped out first to complain, but these two... can't be selected for the All-Stars at all, right?"

He was a little speechless. People who could really be selected like Antetokounmpo and Gordon Haywood didn't speak, but the two of them jumped out first. Isn't this just asking for fun?

But Tai Lue shook his head after hearing this: "If there were no Chinese players like you, they might really be selected."

"How to say?" Yun Chen raised his eyebrows.

"There are too few star players in the Eastern Conference, and they all went to the Western Conference. In this way, fans can only select the All-Stars from among those with worse statistics. Morris and Ibaka just want to use this opportunity to be selected as an All-Star What?" Tyronn Lue explained.

But Yun Chen still didn't take it seriously: "Even if there is no one to choose, the fans wouldn't choose the two of them, right? The Bulls' Jabari Parker and the 76ers' Simmons are still there. Which round will get them?"

As soon as the words came out, Tyronn Lue also laughed. In the final analysis, Morris and Ibaka were jealous of this matter. They thought they could be selected, and with a little fantasy, they were ruled by the Chinese on the ballot.

"Huh...By the way, coach, are we going to face the Raptors at home in the next game?" At this time, Yun Chen asked again, and a smile appeared on his face at this time.

Tyronn Lue was stunned when he heard the words, and thought for a moment: "Well... yes, tomorrow night will play against the Raptors at home, why are you asking this?"

"Hehe..." After receiving Tai Lunlu's answer, the smile on Yunchen's face grew stronger.

Serge Ibaka, who happens to be with the Raptors, will have a head-to-head matchup tomorrow.

"Hehe, don't you dislike our Chinese players dominating the rankings...then I'll play with you tomorrow..."
