Curry was killed, and the All-Star became a substitute
This year's all-star voting has somewhat unexpected phenomena, some of which seem outrageous on the surface, but over time, they feel normal, after all, this era is developing, and many young people are replacing the old-timers.
Let's talk about the vote king first, Brother Alphabet beat James and was elected as the All-Star vote king this year. About more than 4 million votes over James, this is the first time in his career that Brother Alphabet has been elected as the All-Star total vote king, and he also broke James's domination of the All-Star vote king for 7 consecutive years! Brother Alphabet is 28 years old and James is 39 years old.
The starters on the Western side were James, Durant, Doncic, Jokic and Alexander.
The Eastern Conference starters were Antetokounmpo, Lillard, Haliburton, Embiid and Tatum.
This is James' 20th All-Star selection to the starting lineup, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record.
Brother Alphabet was elected as the king of votes, in fact, it is normal, after all, it is really good, and those who are surprised are generally us "old people", and it is a matter of course to take Lao Zhan as the king of votes.
However, some other small votes are indeed a bit outrageous, no, because of injuries, Adams, who was reimbursed for the season this season, actually got the votes and received 7 player votes. This is a sophisticated and somewhat ridiculous vote, and I am afraid that the voting rules for players will have to be re-established in the future.
Of course, in addition to Adams, Curry's reduction to the bench is also quite outrageous.
In this Western starter, Alexander beat Curry to the starter, which made many fans wonder, could it be that Curry is not as good as before? You know, in the first three fan votes, Curry has completed all the suppression, ranking second in the Western backcourt! Moreover, as long as Curry is an All-Star, he is a starter!
The embarrassing thing is that a well-known media outlet made the first poster in the West early, and after learning that Curry was killed, he urgently revised the rendering.
Curry's specific voting details were: player voted 36 votes to rank third, fans voted 3,228,111 ranked 2nd, and media voted 4 votes to rank 4th.
To be honest, if you look at the state and record, Alexander is indeed the one who is suitable for starting in the West this year, in recent months, the eventful Warriors have not only had a bad record, but Curry's state has also had ups and downs, and the bad state will naturally lose fans in the media.
But Alexander is different.
At present, the Thunder is 31-13, and the recent 4 consecutive wins are in the second place in the West, and the Timberwolves are only 0.5 wins away from the first place in the West.
So far this season, Alexander has averaged 31.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
So you said that Alexander's squeezing out of Curry was the most outrageous of this All-Star, or an unpopular event, after comparing the two, maybe you don't think so.
