Earlier, the NBA officially announced the results of the third stage of the All-Star fan vote, James has successfully overtaken Curry and become the vote king, and in the Western Conference backcourt position, Morant also came later, putting Doncic in second place, second only to Curry, and what is even more surprising is that the total number of votes of Klay Thompson in fourth place is 1240781, and the gap between him and the fifth place German Booker (867222) is getting wider and wider. In the first week, when Klay Thompson's total votes were 367743, only nearly 30,000 votes ahead of 338526, but in the second week, Klay Thompson's total votes rose to 749038, and the 648317 with Booker had pulled to a gap of 100,000.
It is worth mentioning that on January 8, Booker's girlfriend Jenna also deliberately solicited votes for her boyfriend on social media, thinking that Booker would usher in a counterattack after that, but did not think that the third stage and Clay's votes had been a full difference of 370,000, still ranked fifth in the Western Guard. If Jenna is not popular, so that Booker's votes have not risen sharply, it is understandable, but to know that Jenna has a total of 31 million followers on Twitter, and there are as many as 210 million on Instagram, much higher than her boyfriend Booker, but even if her girlfriend personally went out to canvass, but netizens did not buy it, is it really Jenna's lack of charm? To some extent, I am afraid that these netizens "hate" Booker's polygamy.
As the league's first team of the team's top scorer, Booker can average 24.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game this season, some of which are career-high 40.3%, if it is not for his stable firepower output, the Suns want to stabilize the current position of the league's number one, it is indeed a bit far-fetched, according to theory, Booker's popularity should not be bad, but it is more star-studded, and the topic is also the top warrior in the league, Booker can only sigh that the times are unlucky. And just as Klay Thompson also recently ushered in a comeback, in the last 5 games, averaging 15.2 points, 3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, the three-point shooting rate reached 36.1%, playing is not bad, naturally will be sought after by fans. In the near future, the top boy bands including Thailand and South Korea are canvassing for the Warriors, so Clay's votes will naturally not be bad.
On the other hand, Booker, watching the gap between himself and Clay's votes widen, can only accept this cruel reality. If you really want to blame, you can only blame yourself in the Suns, a small ball market that lacks topicality and exposure, as a fish belly that has been bullied by people in the past league, the Suns have indeed lost a lot of fans in these 10 years, if it is not the addition of Paul last season, the team has been revitalized, Booker, the famous air slash emperor of the league, is estimated to be again among the all-star stage last year.
The girlfriend personally canvassed for herself, the result is to let herself and Klay gap wider and wider, presumably Booker himself is not a taste, may not be able to rank among the All-Star starters, but according to the performance of Booker's average of 20+ per game this season, coupled with the Suns' all-league record as a blessing, it should not be too much of a problem to be among the Cleveland All-Star Weekend as a substitute.
However, for the sun team, their eyes are probably not this vain All-Star honor, this season continues to play steadily, their ultimate goal should be to launch an impact on the first championship in team history!
