On January 14, Beijing time, the NBA official website announced the results of the second round of All-Star votes, and in the East, three new faces were added to the top twenty rankings, namely Brown of the Celtics, Siakam of the Raptors and Bridges of the Hornets. Brown ranked 10th among the Eastern Conference backcourt players, and his recent performance has been very good, and the Green Army has confirmed that he and Tatum are the core of the team, which has won him a lot of votes. Siakam also played an All-Star after his comeback, receiving 240,000 votes to rank 8th among frontcourt players. Butchyris is a rising star in the league, and his ability to overwhelm Hayward's selection is still a bit of a surprise to fans, and it is worth mentioning that he has completed an early contract extension. Of course, being selected in the top ten all-star games is a proof of strength, and I hope they can continue to work hard, but ranking in the top ten does not necessarily mean that you can play an All-Star game, and there are too many players with 20 players.
DeRozan played his best season, not only in the high light of the data, but also became a key gentleman, back-to-back delivery of two wonderful big kills, which made him a lot of fans. However, DeRozan received 2.97 million votes, and although he became the first player in the backcourt, he was more than 1 million different from Durant's votes, which seemed to be a bit weak. Trae Young got 1.6 million votes, LaVine 1.44 million, and Harden 1.43 million, the number of votes between the three guards is not much different, there is a possibility of ranking change at any time, and the remaining 6 backcourt players have not broken 1 million votes. VanVleet and Garland, who were named to the top ten all-Stars for the first time, still maintained their upward momentum. It is worth mentioning that the nova Ball has only played for two years to surpass Irving in the number of votes, and it seems that people still have high expectations of him. The injured Rose also received 370,000 votes, and the former MVP is still popular in the league.
The top three players in the Eastern Conference by the number of player votes are Durant, Alphabet Brother and Embiid, which is fully in line with the fans' predictions. Durant's advantage is still obvious at the moment, he won the first place in the East with 4.09 million votes, and is also the third place in the league, behind Curry and James. Alphabet Brother has 280,000 fewer votes than Durant, and it is not easy to complete the overtaking, and Embiid has 450,000 fewer votes than Alphabet Brother, which also means that the top three in the East will basically show a stable state. In fourth and fifth place are Tatum and Badler, who received 1.16 million and 980,000 votes respectively, and they are still far from the top three super giants. The difference in votes between the fifth players in the sixth and tenth places is not much, cavaliers rising star Allen 340,000, Heat Adebayo 280,000, Raptors Siakam 240,000, Bridges 230,000 and Ader 220,000, and the difference between them is only 120,000 votes at most, and the minimum difference is only 10,000 votes. Judging from the current rankings, Durant will most likely force Brother Alphabet to become the East All-Star Captain, will he choose Curry?
