I have to say that the Spurs' record of 26 wins and 7 losses so far this season is really strong, and their strength is more balanced than the Suns.

Duncan, who is not yet 30 years old, has taken care of Xiao Ao.

But losing to a strong team like the Spurs is not shabby. The Pacers' 5 wins and 1 loss can be regarded as bringing them back to the first line of the Eastern Conference.

After this game, NBA All-Star voting officially begins.

This time of year, voting sites are extremely popular.

According to the current NBA All-Star Game voting rules, a total of 120 players will become All-Star candidates and have the right to be voted by fans.

This is very different from the direct open voting for all players in the league after 2016.

To put it bluntly, no matter how popular you are, you have no chance of becoming an All-Star if you don't make the candidate list.

The day before the voting opened, Emeka Okafor was delighted to find that he was actually on the list of candidates!

You know, even Howard, the No. 1 pick in the 2004 draft, was not included in this candidate list.

"This" Okafor is so happy today. With his popularity in college and his ability to record two consecutive double-doubles, wouldn't it be appropriate to become an All-Star in the Eastern Conference?

You have to say that in the West, there are Duncan, Hardball, Dirk, Marion, and Stoudemire. The forward line is really full of talents, and it is impossible to squeeze in.

But in the Eastern Conference, hey, maybe it's really possible to make the All-Stars in his rookie season!

Who is the most popular forward in the Eastern Conference?

James.

But this year, James participated in the All-Star voting as a guard just like last year.

So let me ask, besides Carter, how many popular forwards are there in the Eastern Conference now?

The aging Hill? The low-profile Jamison? The Pacers' O'Junior? The poor record of Pierce?

You can’t even fight me!

So why can’t I, who is ranked second in the Eastern Conference All-Star position, get involved?

Okafor had a good sleep, preparing to see the results of the first round of voting in a few days.

If he can make the All-Stars, even if he is a substitute, he should be the best rookie.

"Wait!" Okafor suddenly woke up from bed, reopened his computer and looked at the voting website for the All-Star Game.

Then, his mood suddenly became bad.

Because he discovered that Wayne also appeared on this candidate list.

Judging from Yao Ming's experience in defeating the Sharks to become the Western Conference All-Star center in his first year
