On January 7, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of all-star voting in 2022, and from the voting results, there are still many changes in this season's all-stars compared with the past. First of all, in the position of ticket king, Curry is currently temporarily ahead of Durant, and James, who has won the ticket king for many years, is likely to miss the final ticket king this season. Second, many people are very concerned about the fiercely competitive backcourt position in the East, and Harden, who is not very outstanding this season, has a windfall, he is second only to DeRozan in the East, and it is likely that he will start in the All-Star Game this season. It is worth mentioning that Irving, who did not play in the previous game this season, is also ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference backcourt.
Next, look at the specific rankings of the East and West, the Western Frontcourt Rankings: 1. James, 2. Jokic, 3. George, 4. Wiggins, 5. Chasing Dreams, 6. Thick Eyebrows, 7. Towns, 8. Anthony, 9. Gobert, 10. Ayton. Western Conference backcourt positions: 1. Curry, 2. Doncic, 3. Morant, 4. Klay, 5. Booker, 6. Paul, 7. Mitchell, 8. Lillard, 9. Westbrook, 10. Edwards. Eastern Conference frontcourt: 1. Durant, 2. Alphabet Brother, 3. Embiid, 4. Tatum, 5. Butler, 6. Allen, 7. Adebayo, 8 Bridges, 9 Aldridge, 10. Vucevic
Eastern Conference backcourt rankings: 1. DeRozan, 2. Harden, 3. Trae Young, 4. LaVine, 5. Ball with three goals, 6. Lavin, 7. Rose, 8 Hiro, 9 Garland, 10. VanVleet. Judging from the overall voting situation so far, the current number of votes in Curry is 2584623 votes to temporarily lead the vote king position, followed by Durant with 2360435 votes and the alphabet brother of 2145835, while last season's vote king James currently has 2018725 votes, ranking only fourth in the total vote list. James, who is already 37 years old this season, still plays well, but the Lakers' poor record is the main reason why he did not get high enough tickets in the first round. But the vote has only just begun, and with James' influence, he is still very hopeful of closing the gap with the top three.
Competition for the Backcourt position in the East has been fierce this season, as the Bulls have suddenly risen to the top spot in the East, and the team's two core players, DeRozan and Lavin, have played very well. In particular, DeRozan has averaged 26.9 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game so far this season, shooting 49.4% from the field, and has staged consecutive whistle-blowing three-point kills, playing a career-best performance and ranking first in the Eastern Conference backcourt. It is worth mentioning that Harden has been a bit slow so far this season, with current personal data only 22.5 points, 9.8 assists and 8.1 rebounds, but he is currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference backcourt after missing the All-Star Game start last season. As his personal form gradually picks up, it is very likely that he will return to the All-Star starting position this season, which is also a bonus for him.
In addition to these main concerns, Irving, who has just returned to play only one game this season, is currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference backcourt, which is still relatively surprising, which shows that Irving's popularity is still very high. In addition, in the Western Conference backcourt position, Thompson, who has not played a game this season, is in fourth place, and even pressed the suns core Booker. Although such a vote is not objective, after all, this is the result of the fans' personal preferences, which is enough to show that Booker's popularity accumulation is far from enough, and the follow-up needs to continue to work hard.
