On January 9, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the voting results of the 2023-2024 All-Star season (until January 8).
The voting is divided into the north and south zones, and at the same time it is divided into two "positions" in the front court and the back court, and then the front court is the top 5 players who have received the most votes and the back court is the top 4 players who have received the most votes in the back field.
Let's start with the Southern District:
Top 5 players with the most votes in the frontcourt:
Zhou Qi (619,711 votes), Cui Yongxi (558,241 votes), Hu Jinqiu (525,481 votes), Zhou Peng (410,074 votes), Wang Zhelin (166,683 votes);
The top 4 players with the most votes in the backcourt:
Hu Mingxuan (616,356 votes), Xu Jie (530,833 votes), Sun Minghui (293,208 votes), Lin Wei (242,252 votes);
So far, Zhou Qi has won the "vote king" of the southern district as of January 8.
Let's talk about the North District:
Top 5 players with the most votes in the frontcourt:
Abdul Salamu (608,203 votes), Yeung Hansen (417,287 votes), Cheung Chun-lun (361,614 votes), Tsang Fanbo (347,421 votes), Chan Kwok Ho (312,945 votes);
The top 4 players with the most votes in the backcourt:
Zhao Rui (631,727 votes), Zhao Jiwei (518,646 votes), Jiang Weize (183,963 votes), Gao Shiyan (127,740 votes).
So far, Zhao Rui has won the "vote king" of the southern district as of January 8, and has also become the current "total vote king".
For this result, many fans expressed a little surprise.
In other words, I thought that Zhao Rui was more popular, but I didn't expect him to be so popular, and many fans in the comment area said that they did not participate in the vote, so who are these "fans" who actively voted?
For these two issues, let's talk about them.
First of all, why is the "total vote king" Zhao Rui?
First, Zhao Rui has been in the Guangdong team before, and the Guangdong team itself is one of the two teams with the largest fan "base" in the entire CBA league, and the other team is the Liaoning team.
This can be regarded as the most "solid" part of Zhao Rui's popularity.
Second, this season, he and Zhou Qi had a "swap" and transferred to the Xinjiang team, and the "base" of fans of the Xinjiang team can be regarded as the second largest in addition to the Guangdong team and the Liaoning team.
With the "blessing" of the fans of these two teams, it is difficult to say a bit of an exaggeration, even if you want to be the "ticket king".
Third, in the past summer, Zhao Rui's performance in the World Cup and Asian Games impressed everyone, if there is only one person in the Chinese men's basketball team who can "hold his head high" out of the court, then that person can only be Zhao Rui.
may also be because of this, some fans who were not so interested in him themselves have also become more fond of him this time.
Fourth, and most importantly, since Zhao Rui entered the CBA, he has always shown a more sunny and lively side, and this kind of character is indeed easier to attract the hearts of fans.
Just ask, who doesn't like a "living treasure" who laughs when he opens his mouth and makes "funny" behaviors from time to time?
Therefore, if you have to sum up Zhao Rui's current "ticket king" in one sentence, that is: unparalleled ball skills, incomparably tenacious game temperament, and incomparably affinity character.
Second, who are really "supporting" the CBA?
The first to be excluded is definitely the kind of dissatisfaction and eight grievances in various comment areas all day long.
Of course, it's not that as a fan, you can't put forward "criticism" opinions, but this part of the fans only "criticizes" and does nothing else.
The second thing to rule out is that I usually don't watch the game much at all, and I still uphold the inherent concept of CBA in the past, and give all kinds of guidance.
Although, after so many years, the CBA does not seem to have made much progress, but at least it is to really see some of the current problems before putting forward opinions.
After all, there is no voice without an investigation.
Well, all that's left is for the fans who really follow the CBA.
First, no matter what the league develops, no matter how many problems the league has, but as long as time and energy allow, they will pay attention to it silently.
Then, at this time, give some of your own opinions about the league and about basketball.
Although it is not necessarily correct, at least it is "up to date".
Then, the fans in this part appreciate Zhao Rui more.
Because, if you watch too many basketball games, everything else can be ignored, but the "energy" of the players on the court is indispensable.
Because, this is the "soul" of a player, if you lose it, you have nothing.
Finally, there are those so-called "fan circle" fans, most of whom are female fans, who may not know so much about football, but they are supporting this league with their own "physical practice".
For example, buying tickets to watch a game live, buying a player's jersey, buying a series of "peripherals" for the team, and so on.
The main thing is that they will talk about it, to "spread", so that the CBA will slowly become familiar to more people.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of their existence that the CBA now at least looks quite good, and it also provides a "job" for many relevant personnel in this industry.
Yang Yi has said a similar point of view before.
As mentioned earlier, this part of the fans may not know so much about football, but they know how to be "happy", and Zhao Rui is the one who can bring them "happiness".
In this way, it should be clearer who to vote for...
