Chapter 892 The All-Star Voter King with 4 Million Votes!

The All-Star voting is eye-catching, but it is not the most attention-grabbing.

On the night the All-Star votes were announced, in the game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, although the Thunder lost to their opponents, Westbrook still scored a triple-double of 30 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists!

This triple-double brought his season triple-doubles to 19!

This also allowed him to officially surpass the record of 18 triple-doubles in a single season set by "Magic" Johnson in the 1981-1982 season, becoming the player with the third most triple-doubles in a single season in NBA history!

And this is not the end!

Since the start of the regular season, we have only played a total of 40 games. In other words, the season is just over halfway, and Westbrook has already reached the third place in history!

At this rate, it is only a matter of time before he catches up with Chamberlain (31 times), and it is not impossible to beat Robertson (41 times)!

The All-Star voting results announced by the league were like someone possessed by Wang Feng, and Westbrook instantly grabbed the headlines.

After making this headline, Westbrook received a lot of praise, but also a lot of doubts.

After the intensity of the game increased, it became difficult for Westbrook to score after being targeted due to his unstable shooting.

But his choice was to continue taking shots. Take the game against the Trail Blazers as an example. He took 33 shots but only hit 10 goals, which was very inefficient.

Triple-double is very versatile, but such efficiency is obviously a bit eye-catching.

Durant left Golden State, and now he has mental illness, which has also made Westbrook a paranoid data maniac.

Looking back now, this decision was really a lose-lose choice!

"Tang's triple pair is still more comfortable!"

A Pelicans fan's comments on social media were liked by many people.

Westbrook's triple-doubles are unique, but Tang Tian actually has quite a few triple-doubles this season.

So far, he has also scored 10 triple-doubles. This number of triple-doubles is second only to Westbrook and is the second most in the league!

And although the number is less, the quality is obviously higher.

Whether it's scoring efficiency or rebounding, Tang Tian has to do better, and even passing the ball is more enjoyable to watch.

There is no harm without comparison.

Westbrook is developing his own data, but in contrast, Tang Tian has become more concerned.

From All-Star voting to triple-doubles, Tang Tian has experienced several waves of popularity.

And that's not the end.

He also continued this momentum in the third and final fourth round voting results announced later.

After the final round of voting results were tallied, everyone felt incredible and uncontrollably excited.

Because of Tang Tian, ​​he received a total of 4.04 million votes!

This number of votes not only broke the new vote record he created last year, but also raised it from 3 million to 4 million!

This is an epoch-making record!

This result shocked everyone, including Tang Tian himself.

The Pelicans' momentum this season is not as fast as last season, and it feels more stable.

Including Tang Tian's press conference, although the statistics have increased, they are not as crazy as last season.

But the fans' thoughts are always very simple sometimes. They are grateful to Tang Tian for bringing basketball in the new century, so they all vote for Tang Tian.

Such a simple logic!

Tang Tian was elected as the record-breaking vote leader, along with the new season's Eastern and Western All-Star starters.

Over in the East, DeRozan failed to take the lead at the last moment, and Wade and Irving joined forces to start the backcourt.

In the frontcourt, James and Antetokounmpo occupied two seats, leaving the last spot. Anthony finally PKed Paul George and became the starting frontcourt.

In the West, Curry has won back his popularity with his recent rebound performance, and his votes have successfully overtaken Paul to rank second in the West.

In this way, he will partner with Westbrook as the starting backcourt in the West.

In terms of the frontcourt, the West is also determined at the last moment like the East, and it is more thrilling.

Tang Tian and Durant have already locked two spots, and the remaining four spots are decided among Leonard, Davis, Butler and Cousins.

At the end of the three rounds, Leonard's lead was still relatively clear, with Davis leading the fourth place by a full 200,000 votes.

But when the results of the final round came out, he actually had 20,000 fewer votes than Davis!

In other words, Davis received 220,000 more votes than him in one round!

Incredible!

But it makes sense.

Although the alliance still has certain restrictions on voting in China, it cannot prevent many people from voting over the wall.

Tang Tian got more votes, and by the way, Davis also got more votes.

Of course, there is another point. This year's All-Star game is held in New Orleans, which will also increase the number of votes for Davis playing at home.

Under the influence of several favorable factors, Davis finally completed the reversal, and this was also the first time in his career that he was selected as an All-Star starter.

Of the ten starters, the Cavaliers, Pelicans and Warriors each account for two, which also illustrates the current structure of the league.

Although the Spurs, Mavericks and Rockets are all good, the first tier is still these three teams.

Time flies, and a week later, the All-Star individual event and substitute lineups were finally announced.

Thomas, Walker, Irving, Brogdon, Davis, Embiid, Porzingis, and Cousins ​​participated in the skills challenge;

Lowry, Klay Thompson, Irving, Walker, Nick Young, CJ McCollum, Bojan and Eric Gordon participate in the Three-Point Contest;

DeAndre Jordan, Derrick Jones, Glynn Robinson III and Aaron Gordon compete in dunk contest;

This year's individual competitions are not as popular as in previous years, and the attention is also a lot less.

However, compared to individual competitions, what attracts more attention is the All-Star substitute list in the East and West.

The East is getting attention because there are some dilemmas where no one can choose, while the West is getting attention because of the unprecedented competition.

The final selection results also reflected these two characteristics.

In the East, Walker and Thomas, who performed well this season, were selected. In addition, the remaining five people are George, Wall, DeRozan, Millsap and Drummond.

On the Western side, the seven people selected are Paul, Harden, Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Cousins, DeAndre Jordan, and Klay Thompson.

Under fierce competition, Hayward, Green Draymond, Lillard, Griffin, Gasol, Jokic, Conley, Towns, Bosh and others who performed well were all eliminated.

Fans and media were discussing the newly released roster. While discussing which player was the biggest legacy, Tang Tian took a break from the game to return to China.

The CCTV annual selection of sports figures will be held in Shanghai. The Chinese men's basketball team is invited to participate. Tang Tian has time to return to China.
