On the day of the game against the Wizards, the NHA officially announced the second round of statistics for the 209 All-Star voting.

Chamberlain had the highest votes, and the 2 million votes allowed him to lead other players by the advantage. In addition, Howard, Yao Ming, Kobe, LeBron James and Wade also exceeded the million mark. Paul, who experienced the team's consecutive defeats and the interruption of consecutive steals, was even worse, and Iverson took away the second position in the Western Conference defender by Iverson, but McGrady's advantage was not obvious.

The Warriors have a total of four people participating in the All-Star Voting, Chamberlain, Iverson, West and Billups. So far, Chamberlain is definitely able to become the All-Star starter, and Iverson has a great hope to continue starting - he was already very popular, but now he is coming to the Warriors and Chamberlain to join forces, and the Chinese support for him is even greater. Now his vote count is second only to Kobe in the Western Conference defender.

Billups is not very worried about his All-Star journey. He is a veteran and has played All-Stars many times before, so it doesn't matter whether he can be selected this season. The competition for Western Conference defenders is indeed quite fierce. Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, Kidd, Paul, Deron, Roy, Parker, Durant, one of these guys is one, and now they are all very popular in the league.

West really wants to play All-Stars, but now it seems that the chance is not high. First of all, he is the sixth man, and secondly, there are three players in the Warriors who may be selected as All-Stars, plus he is four. In a word, the league will not allow the All-Stars to be dominated by a team unless you are the Lakers.

The situation in other positions is not different from the first announced results. Kobe is the All-Star starting guard of the Western Conference, and there is another position that allows Paul Kidd Iverson and McGrady to compete for. The little giant Yao Ming continues to lead the position of the Western Conference center with 110,000 votes, while Yao Ming's teammate McGrady returned from injury and has been recognized by fans with a "triple double" and a "quasi-triple double". The number of votes has gradually caught up, with 740,000 votes, second only to Iverson's 30,000 votes and Paul's 80,000 votes.

In the Eastern Conference, James led the others in the 26 All-Star Game MP winner James led the way. Howard played better and better this season due to Chamberlain's pressure, ranking second in votes, followed by Wade, who firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference defender. It is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian, whose votes this time increased to 30,000, only 40,000 less than Kevin T.Net, who ranked second in the Eastern Conference forward.

This result made Nets fans very happy. Yi Jianlian was of course very happy, but he was also very worried: in the face of this result, many players and retired stars said they could not accept it, and experts repeatedly asked the league to change the All-Star voting rules. They believed that Yi Jianlian's votes were unreasonable. It was obvious that a large number of Chinese people helped him a lot. He currently received only 40,000 votes less than Garnett. For Chinese people with a base of more than 2 billion, 40,000 votes are a matter of minutes.

Isn't this a joke? It can almost be said that the New Jersey Star, the official media of the Nets, was angry. They responded to these doubts in large numbers and asked: "Is an all-around forward who averaged 18.6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists averaging, but not as good as a veteran who has played less than twenty games in just one season? Kevin Nate is a very good player. He is so outstanding that we can't ignore him even in NHA history. But now he is an All-Star. This is not the top 50 star ranking. We are looking at the performance of a player this season, not how good his career is. Besides, who can say that Yi's career will not be as bright as Kevin Nate?"

Nets fans are also very anxious. Why is Yi Jianlian selected as the All-Star because of the help of Chinese? Well, Chinese people have indeed helped. Almost all Chinese in New Jersey are voting for Yi Jianlian, regardless of whether they are paying attention to basketball. But so what? Spanish fans are still voting for Gasol? French fans are still voting for Parker? German fans are still voting for Nowitzki? Let’s talk about Chinese fans, they are also voting for Yao Ming and Chamberlain, and the big head is on these two people. You have a way to question these two guys.

It's not that the Nets are so anxious, because their only hope this season is Yi Jianlian. Ace Carter directly withdrew from the All-Star vote due to injury. Although the Eastern Conference guards are not as talented as the Western Conference, it's not Harris' turn. So if Yi Jianlian can't play in the All-Star, then they'll just wait to eat duck eggs.

Yi Jianlian has indeed made great progress this season compared to last season. So far, he averaged 18.6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, which is quite comprehensive, especially for a yellow striker.

Now Yi Jianlian is becoming more and more confident. He may not be able to match the expectations of fans when he participated in the draft last year, but he will definitely be able to secure the starting power forward position of a team.

The outside world is very quarrel, so Yi Jianlian of course has to speak out. He said in an interview: "It is not particularly important to be selected as an All-Star. The most important thing is our game. After all, the All-Star is a game that emphasizes entertainment. It is important for us to enter the playoffs this season and even go further. However, the All-Star is a goal, a pursuit, and a very high personal honor for every player, so I am still very much looking forward to being able to stand on the real All-Star field one day."

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and there are also a thousand All-Star starting lineups in the eyes of a thousand fans. This time of year is a good time for debate between fans and the media. Reporting to Yi Jianlian, the Boston Star:

"This season, Chinese striker Yi Jianlian has grown a lot. He is already an excellent player. I don't know if he regrets trading him. But after all, he is just an excellent player, not an All-Star player. Whether in terms of strength or personality, he does not have the conditions to be selected as an All-Star. Since it is an All-Star game, if he does not have the All-Star strength, even if he enters the starting lineup through the care of the fans, he cannot perform well and is replaced by the coach soon. What's the point? Moreover, China Yi is introverted and he is not suitable for the All-Star show stage..."

Boston's media and fans are the most hard-working to suppress Yi Jianlian, because according to the current situation, James, the first "Little Emperor" of the Eastern Conference forward, received 1.52 million votes, and other forwards could not be shaken. Garnett 1 million, while Yi Jianlian has already received 1,000 UU. If Yi Jianlian ranks third, then the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team will definitely not choose Yi Jianlian when the player is designated - Pierce, Granger, and Lewis. Who made Yi Jianlian Chinese?

Yes, the United States claims to be the most liberal and democratic country in the world, but it is really a joke to say that this country has no racial discrimination. The nature of basketball determines that black people have an advantage in physical fitness. Therefore, since the 1980s, black people have begun to rule the NHA. Whites discriminate against black people in other fields, and blacks discriminate against white people in the basketball field. Of course, whites still discriminate against black people. However, one thing that both sides have in common is that they both discriminate against yellow people.

Yao Ming has no other hard honors in his career, except for the All-Star starter, such as the first team, the first team to defend the first team, etc. Even before Chamberlain appeared, 80% of people recognized Yao Ming as the first center after O'Neal, these hard honors still have nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for the Chinese fans who pushed Yao Ming into the All-Star starting lineup, he would probably not be able to even play the All-Star substitute. Yi Jianlian is facing this dilemma now. He does not have the strength to make everyone recognize his qualification to start, but once he cannot start, he will definitely not be able to enter the All-Star again.

Chamberlain's situation is actually not much better than Yi Jianlian. His strength is indeed unquestionable. Even if it is not the starter, other head coaches will choose him into the All-Star Game. But the problem is that he is not the center now, he is the power forward.

Is Chamberlain a power forward? American fans said that you are really crazy for the All-Star starting lineup. Chamberlain is obviously a center forward, so he should compete with Yao Ming for the starting position.

There are also many fans and experts discussing this matter. They believe that the NHA official should intervene in the voting force and first transfer Chamberlain from the forward position to the center. So, this makes the NHA lively.

After the results of the second round of NHA All-Star voting were announced, China had three players who could become All-Star starters. Chamberlain was a strong Western starting power forward, Yao Ming was the center, and Yi Jianlian was likely to become the Eastern starting forward. This is a milestone event. CCTV's "News 1" program discussed the issue of NHA All-Star voting with the theme of "All-Star? All-Star?" and suggested that public opinion and fans face this issue with a relaxed attitude.

In the program, senior basketball commentator Xu Jicheng and Zhang Heli discussed this matter in detail, and finally concluded: "In fact, this is a very normal result, so there is no need to make a fuss. Because the basis of the voting is fans. After the NHA has been internationalized for nearly two years, his fan base has changed, including a large number of Chinese fans, B.6 billion, which may be more than the population of the United States. We think it is not just a sports phenomenon, but a question of how the whole world can adapt to China's rise. We cannot raise it to a political issue, nor can we raise it to an economic issue, but everything will change after multiplying by the base of the population. Gathering sand into a tower may be something everyone should realize, this is called keeping pace with the times and a big environment has changed."

Xu Jicheng thought fans took this issue too seriously. He said: "We Chinese are sometimes too harsh on ourselves and we are too strict with ourselves. As long as you like Yi Jianlian, you vote. Your votes, American votes and German votes, I think they should be the same, with the same value, one vote is one vote. I think Chinese people should be confident on this issue. You just want entertainment. We have the right now and we have also held the Olympics, but we still haven't learned to entertain until now."

However, the opposition from the US media is more mainstream. The Philadelphia Sentinel, one of the authoritative media, said: "Some people say that the essence of the All-Star is entertainment. Fans have the right to decide who to see. This is right, but the problem is that when China Yi is not yet expected, the expectations of Chinese fans have indirectly lowered the threshold and standards of the All-Star. The All-Star is not the back garden of Chinese fans, and allowing American and world fans to force the votes of Chinese fans, which is not a good thing for China Yi's growth, which is still rookie."

In the next few days, Yi Jianlian's votes rose and he was threatening Garnett directly. When local American journalists, coaches and players of other teams could not sit still. Garnett was the main force of the defending champion. It was a well-known golden signboard. Such people could not play the All-Star starter and instead gave them to a yellow-sex baby soldier. Is there any reason? Why didn't God fall to lightning to kill them?

Pistons power forward Mike Dyce was even more blunt: "Yi Jianlian does not have the qualification to start All-Stars. In my eyes, the All-Star power forward must have the ability to lead the team to win, and has the contribution of a large double-double. Obviously, Yi Jianlian's selection for the All-Star is not in line with the rules of the game. Although Chamberlain has the strength to be selected as the All-Star, he should be the center rather than the forward. The NHA is so interesting now, this is simply nonsense, right?"

Pistons head coach Curry also made it clear that Yi Jianlian's current votes are somewhat similar to Yao Ming's back then, but Yao Ming is now worthy of his name, while Yi Jianlian is more of a "care" from Chinese fans. He said: "The power of Chinese fans is too great. Yi Jianlian's so many votes are also due to the enthusiasm of Chinese fans. In 203, Yao Ming surpassed the strong O'Neal to become the league's starter, which is very similar to Yi Jianlian's current situation, but Yao Ming is now the well-deserved starting center in the West, but Yi Jianlian is not."

Some media reporters also believe that Yi Jianlian's selection and Chamberlain's choice of striker position in order to avoid conflicts were the NHA's considerations for alleviating the economic crisis.

Gardner, a NHA columnist in Milwaukee, wrote in his blog: "I believe that on this year's shortlist, Yi Jianlian's name was added by David Turne. Chamberlain was also a trick he made to become a striker, all because of economic considerations. The US economy is very bad now, and the US market is shrinking. Stern needs to increase efforts to develop overseas markets, especially the Chinese and European markets."

At this critical moment, as the rising star and leading actress of Sports Weekly, Li Qun also has to express her opinions. She wrote a report to discuss this matter, and the article said:

"On the surface, the NHA All-Star voting is very simple, but in different circumstances, this matter begins to become complicated. This is a problem encountered by the globalized NHAO."

"There is no doubt that Stern is happy to see more and more international players appear in the NHA. International players represent the market, represent the expansion of NH's impact and brand value, and these intangible values ​​can bring long-term returns. However, at the same time, Stern has also begun to realize that globalization is not as simple as hosting competitions in various countries. There are many issues that need to be communicated and integrated in different regions and cultures to accept the NHA."

"As representatives of Eastern players, Yao Ming and Chamberlain, Yi Jianlian has made some changes to the NHA to a certain extent, and voting is only a more intuitive part of it. Whether Chamberlain, Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian, some people think that their strength and vote count are seriously inconsistent, and this is precisely the result of the NH's expansion of the global market."

"A phenomenon as significant as the number of Chinese star votes is that Houston, San Francisco and New Jersey have become the beachheads of Chinese businesses, more and more NHAI players have become spokespersons of Chinese basketball shoes, and Chinese partners of various levels of NH are also increasing rapidly. Everyone has seen this, but why do stars do not stand up to express their doubts when they receive an increase in endorsement fees? Have they ever thought about whether it is normal for the money they receive to increase every year?"

"Chinese businesses can speak with money, while Chinese fans speak with votes. Although many people have retained or even opposed it, Chamberlain, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are the must-choose players for most Chinese fans. Chinese fans have had a very obvious impact on the NHA. It is not limited to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian is just the most obvious example."
