After the game against the Bulls, even though it was already night, the Sonics still chose to return to Seattle.

Because there is a crucial battle next.

The Sonics are at home and will face the challenge of the Philadelphia Digital Team on Christmas Day.

A duel between two all-star point guards, a duel between the strongest shield and the sharpest spear.

By the way, one more thing, on December 24th, All-Star voting opens.

Speaking of All-Stars, Wang Hao is actually quite confused.

If you say you don't want to be in the All-Stars, you'd definitely be lying. After all, this is the most eye-catching stage in the NBA besides the Finals.

Moreover, next year, Carter will participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and maybe he can join in the fun.

But is it so easy to get into the All-Stars?

Some people may say that Yao Ming and even Yi Jianlian almost became an All-Star starter.

But there is a problem, that is, there is no All-Star online voting yet.

It can be said that Yao Ming was able to become an All-Star starter in 2003, his rookie season.

In addition to the support of the vast number of Chinese fans, there is also a very important point, which is the activation of online voting.

With a few clicks on the computer, you can vote for Yao Ming. Why not?

Wang Hao still remembers that he voted for Yao Ming in the original time and space, and also called on his friends to vote for Yao Ming.

But now, there is no such thing as online voting, only voting by mail.

Online voting is free, but it costs more than ten dollars to send mail to the United States.

More than ten yuan in 2000 was not an exaggeration, but it was not a small number either, especially for the student party.

But giving up directly seems a bit unwilling.

It really takes a million votes to make the All-Star starting lineup, and to be honest, that might be a bit of a stretch.

Wang Hao quickly checked last year's All-Star voting. He remembered that the number of All-Star votes during this period was not that exaggerated.

By the way, the NBA suspended half of the season last year and did not hold an All-Star game. We still have to look at what happened the year before.

The year before last, that is, the 1997-1998 season, when Jordan was still in the league, he must be the top vote-getter.

By the way, I also want to mention that because the dunk contest’s attention is decreasing day by day, there is no dunk contest in this year’s All-Star Game.

Moreover, there is no skills challenge at this time.

Let’s go back to the All-Star votes. The last All-Star vote leader was Jordan, who received 1 million votes.

Moreover, this is the era when inside duels are most popular in the NBA, and inside players generally receive high votes.

Among the starters in the East and West, Kobe received the fewest votes, with less than 400,000 votes.

In other words, if you need less than half of the votes from the top vote-getters, you may become an All-Star starter.

Be careful, that's half of the top vote-getters.

However, this is the data from two years ago after all. This year, even 50 votes will not be enough.

As far as Wang Hao knows, this season should be the first time Carter has become the All-Star vote winner with his flying and escaping style of play.

Moreover, it is also the first time in history that it is close to 2 million votes, which seems to be a little short.

At the time, many people felt it was a pity, but this record was eventually broken by Carter himself.

In other words, it takes about one million votes to become an All-Star starter.

If you want to be more certain, it must be at least more than 1 million. There is no way, the competition in the West is too fierce.

As the best guards in the NBA today, Kidd and Gary Payton are definitely the favorites to start.

Then there is Kobe. In the last All-Star Game, he had already squeezed into the starting lineup.

Although he was injured for a period of time this season, his performance after his comeback was also quite exciting.

Since returning this month, Kobe has averaged 22.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Coupled with the fact that it is backed by a big market like Los Angeles, it will definitely get a lot of votes.

In addition, there is a white chocolate Jason Williams, who also attracts countless fans with his coquettish passing.

From this point of view, even 1 million votes are in doubt.

Damn, the pressure of this number is not small. Although there are many Chinese fans, most of them don't know how to vote.

But, these are all-stars!

It is not Wang Hao's character to give up like this. Now that he has the chance, he will naturally struggle.

As for why Wang Hao was placed among the defenders instead of the forwards, to be honest, he didn't understand.

It may be related to the player information reported by the team. He is really a shooting guard.

The reason is also very simple. Today's forward line is more competitive, with Garnett and Duncan basically occupying the starting position.

Even though he was very busy, Wang Hao still found time to accept interviews from domestic media.

"Wang Hao, hello, nice to meet you! I'm Su Qun, a reporter from Sports Weekly."

"Hello, Mr. Su."

Wang Hao is naturally no stranger to the person in front of him, and he is considered a well-known basketball commentator in China.

Today, Su Qun has just turned 30 and is considered a leader in reporting on the NBA in China.

This is not the first time he has come to the United States to report news about the NBA.

"Wang Hao, we have two main purposes for this interview. One is to let domestic fans know you better?

You don't know that our domestic fans pay a lot of attention to you now.

It's just that the ways for people to follow you are limited, just a few live broadcasts every week.

As for you in life, everyone doesn’t know much about you. We plan to make a comprehensive report on you this time.

Not only you, we also hope to interview your parents, and even former classmates and friends!"

"Of course I have no problem. As for my parents, it still depends on their own wishes."

Su Qun said quickly: "Of course! Then there is the second purpose, we will promote the All-Stars for you and call on the fans to vote for you.

In fact, in the past few days, many friends around me have asked how to vote for NBA All-Stars.

Many people are willing to vote, but don’t know how to vote. After all, many people have never been exposed to cross-border mail.”

"Thank you so much! To be honest, of course I am looking forward to the All-Stars.

However, I’m not in a hurry, this is my first season after all, so it doesn’t matter if I can’t make it.”

What nonsense are you talking about? The best training is so busy, and they choose time to be interviewed, it’s not just to win votes.

"Don't worry, I think the chances are pretty good. Our country doesn't have many other things, it just has a lot of people.

We have calculated that with about 1 million votes, you have a chance to enter the All-Stars.

If 1,000 of us give you one vote, you can become an All-Star.

The year before last, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers became an All-Star even though he was only a substitute, so of course you can do the same."
