After the results of the third round of voting came out, the US media summed up -
James broke the record again and will tie Jordan's miracle
James' first-round votes trailed Curry by more than 560,000 votes, the second round behind Curry by less than 80,000 votes, and after the third round of voting results, he had surpassed Curry by 800,000 votes. The fan vote will end on Jan. 23, two days before the voting deadline, and judging by James' votes, he has basically locked in the position of ticket king and western captain of the 2022 All-Star Game.
6827449 votes (and continues to increase) also broke James' own all-time record of 6275459 votes on the 2020 All-Star Vote. James, who has soared more than 2.44 million votes over the past week, is now on track to hit 7 million votes, becoming the first All-Star player in history to receive more than 7 million votes.
StatMuse lists the years james became the king of the tickets. Counting this year, he will be the All-Star Champion for six consecutive years (2017-2022), in addition, he will become the Ticket King in 2007, 2010 and 2014. Becoming the All-Star ticket king 9 times, James will chase jordan's miracle, and the number of ticket kings is tied for the first place in history.
Durant injured or missed an All-Star, repeating a scene from last season?
Durant is likely to miss the 2022 All-Star due to a knee injury. Judging by the current number of votes, he basically locked in the starting and eastern conference captain positions. Last season, Durant missed the All-Star due to a hamstring injury, but he was also the East vote king, exercising his captainship rights and making all-Star selections. This season, this scene is likely to repeat itself, when Xiao Hua will choose to replace the person who entered the All-Star. For now, the other members of the All-Star starting range remain healthy and are expected to be able to participate in the event.
The Eastern Trio is fiercely competitive, and Trae Young refuses to fight back?
In the Western Conference frontcourt, Wiggins has led George by more than 300,000 votes, and there is a high probability that he will eventually rank ahead of him. Still, there is final suspense in the Eastern Conference backcourt. DeRozan received more than 4 million votes to lock up a place in the Eastern Conference starting backcourt early, but Trae Young, LaVine and Harden competed fiercely. With more than 2.11 million votes, LaVine more than 1.98 million and Harden more than 1.96 million votes, Trae Young is still the most likely to remain in second place in the Eastern Conference backcourt, considering that the vote will be closed in two days.
However, fan votes account for only 50%, and if player votes and media votes are more inclined to LaVine or Harden, Trae Young's starting position will be unstable.
