113 to 81, the Hawks, known for their three-pointers and high shooting percentage, almost scored 80 today.

Before this game began, people thought that the Hawks could become another simple and unpretentious champion contender like the previous Spurs.

But it turns out that the Hawks can only be the "Eastern Spurs" at most. Compared with the real Spurs, they are completely different.

Indeed, the Spurs are also team-type teams. But unlike the Hawks, the Spurs are at critical moments, but some superstars can stand up and turn the situation around.

If Manu Ginobili doesn't explode, it's already a huge level.

Tony Parker is not a good deal. In 2007, he averaged 24 points per game in a team-first team, which is already amazing. You know, no player in the Hawks can average more than 20 points per game this season.

Of course, when it comes to the superstars of the Spurs, we have to say "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan.

In the 2000 playoff Spurs against the Kings, Duncan scored 32+20 data, surpassing Webber and helping the Spurs survive the difficulties.

In the 2008 playoffs, Duncan 40+15, and hit a key three-pointer in the last moment, the Spurs survived.

On June 24, 2005, Duncan ushered in the first finals tiebreak in his career. Facing the strong Pistons, Duncan scored 25 points and 11 rebounds, and won the third championship after this game. In addition, this is Duncan's third finals MVP title in his career.

These honors are not something that Al Horford or Paul Millsap can get.

On the surface, there is no difference between the Spurs and the Hawks. But in fact, the Spurs' success is inseparable from the silent waiting of the three GDPs.

To put it bluntly, if you replaced Duncan with Horford, or Parker with Teague, and Ginobili with Korver, the Spurs might not be that great either.

Superstars have an irreplaceable role at any time.

In NBA, you cannot win the championship by relying on reasonable basketball alone.

There is no doubt that the Grizzlies taught the Eagles a good lesson today.

Link's super performance when he played the No. 5 position, coupled with Whiteside's 10-block triple-double, almost turned the unfavorable situation in the Grizzlies' inside line on his own.

As it turns out, personal abilities can indeed change the game.

At the post-match press conference, Link and Whiteside undoubtedly became the two most popular stars.

Both of them scored triple-double data today, and both made the Hawks pay the price in the penalty area.

As soon as Link and Whiteside entered the media reception room door, the flash never stopped.

"Hasan, let me tell you what Link said in your ear before the game started?"

What Link muttered in Whiteside's ear before the game naturally became a "unsolved case".

Of course, it also aroused great interest from reporters.

"Well, do you really want to say it?" Whiteside smiled, then glanced at Link beside him.

"If you want to say it, I won't let you fight with me tomorrow, Hassan."

Link's reply made the reporters laugh, and soon they got Whiteside's answer.

"In fact, Link lied to me. He told me that he would pass me an aerial relay for the first time, but everyone saw it. It was just a pass fake move."

The reporters laughed again, thinking Whiteside was joking.

No one believes it, it's fucking real

"Link, can you tell me what it feels like to play the fifth position? Will you appear in the fifth position often in the future?" A local Memphis reporter stood up.

"No, I don't play the fifth position often. As soon as the game ended, Marc Gasol told the coach that he wanted to make a comeback, otherwise he would definitely be traded before the All-Star Game. For Mark, I can only go back to the second and third position."

Link continued to shoot his teammates, and the continuous smiles of the reporters also made the atmosphere of the news releases happy, and it would lose the smell of gunpowder on weekdays.

Facts have proved that as long as the reporter and his opponent do not raise trouble, Link can still live in peace with everyone.

This "villain" is not a vicious person.

This "unqualified" alliance facade seems to be becoming more and more popular.

That night, Stephen A. Smith wrote on his social media, "Link didn't swear, didn't say trash tonight, didn't want to hit someone's head into his butt, but instead made a joke to everyone. For a moment, I had an illusion. I found that Link seemed to be becoming popular."

However, the day after the Hawks and Grizzlies' match ended, Stephen A. Smith discovered that he had no illusion.

Link is indeed becoming more popular.

Early in the morning of January 8, 2015, the results of the last round of NBA All-Star voting were officially released.

This year, many new faces appeared on the top ten All-Star voting list.

Anthony Davis, John Wall, Mark Gasol and others were all included in the top ten.

Among the top three players, the biggest surprise is undoubtedly Stephen Curry.

In the past few years, the top three votes have been almost always taken over by Link, James and Durant. But this year, Curry replaced Durant's position and became the player with the most votes in the Western Conference backcourt and the third most votes in the league.

As it turns out, the Warriors and Curry have accumulated a lot of popularity this season.

James has become the Eastern Conference vote leader as always, with his 1.34 million votes being almost the same as last season. As it turns out, James is still one of the most popular stars in the league.

That's right, just one.

After the final results of the All-Star this year were announced, people were indifferent to the number of votes received by James, Curry, Durant and others.

Almost everyone looked directly at Link's ticket acquisition data.

As a result, Link did not disappoint people!

In 2009, Howard became the All-Star vote king of that year with 3.15 million votes, and broke the record for the highest vote winnings in the NBA All-Star plan history.

Before this, no one could break this record, and there was not even a vote that could be close to it.

But this year, this seemingly unbreakable record was eventually surpassed by "Record Terminator" Link!

In the 2015 NBA All-Star Voting, Link's final vote was 3.51 million!

More than Howard's 3.15 million, there is a full 360,000 more!

It is 2.17 million more than James's 1.34 million, more than twice that of James's!

In other words, there is a distance between Yao Ming and the second place this year.

This time, Link not only broke the highest voting record in the history of NBA All-Stars, but also became the fourth player in history to be able to become the All-Star vote king for three consecutive years.

Previously, there were only Jordan, Carter and "Dr. J" Julius Irving in the league to achieve the achievement of becoming the voter leader for three consecutive years.

During this period, great players such as Grant Hill, O'Neal, Iverson and Kobe, who were very popular, have never had the experience of becoming the voter leader for three consecutive All-Stars.

In other words, Link's current popularity is not inferior to them at all!!

With the three consecutive votes and the most vote-winning record in history, if it is not even very popular, then there will be no popular players in the world.
Chapter completed!
