On December 20, Beijing time, the official website of the CBA announced that the voting for the 2024 CBA All-Star starters will start on December 26.
Fans can vote for their favorite players through the official voting platforms of the CBA.
This was followed by the announcement of the following matters regarding the vote.
First, the voting rules.
During the entire voting period, one account can participate in one vote per day.
5 players were selected from the list of candidates in the North and South Divisions (including 3 frontcourt and 2 backcourt, while the same CBA team can only have a maximum of 3 players and 1 foreign player).
Those players must then have played at least 15 minutes as of the first 20 rounds of the season.
This voting rule translates into the vernacular, that is, you can't let the entire CBA All-Star Game become an All-Star Game for a certain 1-2 team.
Then, since it is an All-Star, the strength of the players who are voted for must also match, and the average playing time per game is a basic "threshold".
The formulation of this rule is quite reasonable.
Secondly, double the counting days.
Players who voted on December 26, December 30, December 31, 2023, and January 8 and January 15, 2024 will receive a "double" number of votes.
Players who vote on January 1, 2024 will be counted as "tripled" votes.
The introduction of this rule should still want to mobilize the majority of fans and friends to pay attention to the CBA All-Star Game, and then vote more for their favorite players.
Especially on these "special" days, don't forget that the CBA's All-Star voting campaign is still waiting for everyone.
Second, participate in the group.
The poll will be divided into two sections: fans and media representatives.
Among them, fans vote for 60% and media representatives vote for 40%.
This rule is a relatively big improvement and progress.
There are usually years when voting rights are given to the fans.
The final result was that the fans of the Guangdong team and the fans of the Liaoning team voted for their "home team", and then when it was time for the main game, it almost became the Guangdong team against the Liaoning team.
Although, these two teams are indeed the top players in the CBA in recent years, many of the players on their teams do have the qualification of All-Star starters.
However, that doesn't mean that some players from other teams don't qualify.
However, due to the fact that the fan base of other teams is not as large as that of these two teams, they can only be selected as substitutes in the end.
Again, do the CBA's All-Stars belong to the entire CBA, not just 1-2 teams.
And after distributing a part of the voting power to media people, this should be much more "balanced".
It also allows some of the more powerful players in other teams to have the opportunity to be in the starting list.
Furthermore, the results are statistical.
As we all know, the CBA generally holds such an event, and the result is to use the "formula" to calculate the final result.
And this All-Star vote is still the same.
The specific formula is:
Player X belongs to the South/North Zone/Position
Voting Rank of Fan Group* Voting Ranking of Media Group
Let's assume that the fan group is number 1 and the media group is number 2 = 1 * 60% + 2 * 40% = 1.4
1 represents the ranking, and 60% represents the voting weight of the fan group.
2 represents the ranking, and 40% represents the voting weight of the media group.
The sum of the two is the player's final vote total.
Although many CBA "formulas" have been complained by a large number of fans in the past, the design of this formula is still okay.
Yes, in many cases, it should be simpler, so that everyone can understand it at a glance, so that everyone can do a better "verification" of the final result.
Finally, voting time.
Fan voting period: December 26, 2023 --- January 15, 2024.
Voting period for media representatives: January 8, 2024 --- January 12, 2024.
The final voting results of the starting list will be announced on January 16, 2024.
By the way, there are also substitutes, seven each in the north and south districts, which are voted on by the managers of each team, and the list will be announced on January 23, 2024.
Having said so much, there is such a friend's comment in the comment area that is the most moving: Excuse me, can I still vote for Yi Jianlian this time?
Indeed, for the CBA's All-Star Game, Yi Jianlian has definitely been an indispensable one for many years.
He was named to the All-Star team 14 times, won the "Ticket King" 7 times, and was named the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game 2 times.
It can be said that Yi Jianlian not only belongs to the "GOAT" level in the CBA main game, but also deserves the All-Star Game.
Chinese men's basketball team, will there be such players in the future?
