Chapter 256 (1/2)
The game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies didn't end in the end, and no player played too hard.
Kobe has 24 points and 9 assists, one short of two doubles. Bynum had 15 points and 12 rebounds, but less than 40% of his shooting percentage destroyed it. Link has 17 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, which is the lowest score in the new season. Guy 19 points, still not breaking 20. Randolph had 6 points and 5 rebounds, and he almost became a fake starter...
but it was this game that did not have a winner and the star didn't play amazing numbers, but it became the most watched game of the day!
Kobe's last three-point shot was blocked from the side by link, and it was also played by major TV stations, which became one of the most classic moments of the season.
Although link's data is not much amazing, but his last-minute key defense, but people like to talk about. It is said that after the end of the game, Kobe played 500 more shots in the blocked position. Looking at the news, link really felt sorry for Kobe.
”In fact, you don't miss the key ball because you miss the shot, it's because you're blocked. So strictly speaking, it's no use to practice... ”Link murmured in his heart, but Kobe's paranoia can't control so much. He just needs a way to vent his dissatisfaction.
In any case, the game against the Lakers ended safely, and link finally breathed a sigh of relief. He spent his ”Happy Sunday” in peace.
The day after the game against the Lakers, the League officially announced the results of the first round of NBA all star weekend voting.
After the first round of voting, Magic center Dwight Howard ranked first with 754737 votes, once again taking the top spot.
Looking at Howard's high popularity, link can't help but sigh. It's 30 years east and 30 years West.
Ranking second is just blocked by link, leading to the loss of Kobe, although it is the second, but the gap between him and Howard has been pulled relatively large. By the time the results were announced, Kobe had only 690613 votes.
And link's most concerned about, of course, is the voting results of the Western forwards!
To his disappointment, link is still in third place, failing to surpass Blake Griffin, and the gap between him and first Kevin Durant is even greater. But happily, link is not far away from Griffin!
In the first round of voting, Kevin Durant won 633538 votes, ranking first in the Western forward group. Griffin in the second place was 394264 votes, but link in the third place was only nearly 5000 votes less than Griffin! When the number of votes is based on 100000 or even millions, the gap of 5000 is negligible!
Griffin was selected for the all star game last season, and his popularity is terrible. This season with Paul joined, Griffin is able to rely on a variety of air relay dunk appeared in the top five of the day, just like a popular harvester.
But compared with last season, Griffin's progress curve is very small. It can be said what he was like last season and what he is like this season. How did you play last season? How do you play this year. His data, even compared with last season, is a little bit backward. As a result, the fans are not so fresh with him.
Even if it's a violent dunk, I'm tired of watching it every day. Because of this, Griffin's popularity has declined compared with last season.
In terms of the record, the Grizzlies have won 6-2 this year, ranking among the top three in the western region. On the data, link hit to now still have 20 + 5 + 5 data, much more amazing than last season. In terms of performance, let alone wesbrook, 40 point triple double win over Ross, and yesterday's crucial moment of ”death entanglement” on Kobe Bryant... The new season has not played ten games, but link has made impressive performances.
In the basketball court, link gives people more fresh feeling. He can complete some of the attacks that he couldn't do last season and play defense that he couldn't do last season. All in all, link is a surprise.
Link has been from a small number of stars, began to gradually enter the public vision. Therefore, his popularity growth rate is actually faster than Griffin.
