After defending their home court, the Pacers prepared for the next game as usual, but when the time came on January 10, they got good news:

Carmelo Anthony has been suspended for one game and will not play in this game.

George continued his performance against the Heat in the last game, making 10 of 24 shots from the field and scoring a team-high 24 points. The Pacers made an effort in the final quarter and successfully defended their home court, winning their 9th consecutive home victory.

The opponent scored a season-low 76 points.

After the game, George and others learned the exact news.

In the last game the Knicks lost to the Celtics, Anthony and Kevin Garnett had a conflict. After the game, Melo was still excited. He not only forced his way into the Celtics locker room, but also blocked the Celtics.

The team bus wanted to argue with Garnett.

In the end, the NBA officially decided to suspend Anthony for one game.

Everyone wants to gossip. Regarding the conflict between Garnett and Anthony, the Pacers really want to know the truth. You know, it is said that Garnett said rubbish to Anthony, "Your wife tastes like a donut."

The rumors that irritated Melon were very real.

However, the relationship between the Pacers and the Knicks is relatively average, and they do not have a deep relationship with Anthony, so it is more difficult to know the truth.

What's more, having to ask roundabout questions about this kind of gossip is really a bit idle, so this matter will only become a temporary topic of discussion among the team members.

"But if it were me..."

Sitting in the locker room, everyone in the Pacers started chatting, and naturally they wanted to talk about the fresh rumors.

"If it were me, I'd probably start a fight with Garnett on the spot and be sent off on the spot!"

"Anthony is still too conservative."

What surprised Qi Tian was that Stephenson actually expressed his feelings directly.

"No, what about that?"

Hill next to him asked curiously.

This is because Hill underestimated Stephenson.

Stephenson curled his lips and said:

"What are you afraid of? If Garnett really said that, I would have given him a left hook and a right leg whip on the spot and knocked him to the ground!"

"Even if you are expelled on the spot, it is better than being suspended!"

George immediately understood what he meant and pointed out:

"George, you really underestimated Lance. A one-match suspension will result in a loss of one-game salary. If you are expelled on the spot, your salary will still be paid."

"Oh, by the way, Lance, if you dare to do boxing or fighting moves, in addition to being expelled on the spot, I'm afraid you will also be suspended. You won't be able to stop the fight."

"ah?"

Stephenson immediately stopped and said,

"Later I thought about it, these regulations issued by the league are still useful. At least they can ensure the safety of the players. Forget it, I will bicker with him and let the two of us rap."

The locker room was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

Plumlee, who was looking at his cell phone, jumped up and said to everyone:

"Seventh All-Star starter!"

"Really?"

Others immediately gathered around.

It turns out that just now, the results of the third round of voting for the All-Star starters have been announced.

The 34-year-old Kobe beat James to become the ticket leader of the 2013 All-Star Game at Toyota Center. He will lead the Western Conference team with Paul, Durant, Griffin and Howard to face James, Wade, Qi Tian, ​​Anthony and

The Eastern Conference led by Garnett.

According to Qi Tian's temperament, he really has no interest in the All-Star Game, which is a performance. If he has this time, why not travel around?

In addition, being in a small ball market like Indiana, even if the official Twitter and Qi Tian's own private Twitter forward the voting link on time, in Qi Tian's view, it is just a human effort.

But maybe this year's All-Star Game is held at the Rockets' home court, or maybe Qi Tian's Asian identity has given him a little advantage. After the results of the first and second rounds of voting were announced, he actually surpassed Rondo among Eastern Conference guards, ranking

Second, only after Wade.

Now the results of the third round of voting are announced. Wade leads the Eastern Conference with more than 760,000 votes. Qi Tian's votes have also steadily increased to more than 720,000 votes. Although they are not too close to Wade, Rondo, who leads more than 670,000 votes, has become a leader.

foregone conclusion.

Jeremy Lin of the Rockets lost to Paul due to a disadvantage of less than 50,000 votes and failed to enter the All-Star starting lineup. The dream of two Asians and two starters in the hearts of Rockets fans did not come true.

However, despite this, Qitian's replacement of Rondo as the All-Star starter still caused an uproar.

"Good guy!"

As soon as Qi Tian turned on his phone and logged into social media, he saw a series of message notifications. He didn't even need to click on them to know that most of them were questioning him.

After all, in the eyes of some fans, the yellow-skinned Qi Tian undoubtedly pleases the group of people on the other side of the ocean.

After all, that group of people can throw prime O'Neal into the starting lineup and let a rookie big man replace O'Neal as the starter.

"*uc*yellow*monkey!"

"Do you think you're qualified to be an All-Star?"

"**Chinaman!"

"Slow* payment will give up the starting lineup!!"

The continuous insulting messages aroused Qi Tian's temper, and he immediately became the king of Twitter. He posted a new message, and then responded to several relatively friendly messages.

"Thank you to my fans, thank you to Indiana, thank you to the Pacers. I couldn't do it without you, love you."

"PS: Excluding some angry people."

"Some people always feel that they alone are more important than hundreds of thousands of fans."

"If you think who is more worthy of being in the All-Stars, you can vote for him. This is what the fans who support me do."

"If you can force the official to change the result, then I will apologize to you and beg you to let me enter the All-Star Game, haha!"

After the voting results were announced, many people were paying attention to the players' movements. Their waiting was not in vain. They actually saw Qi Tian posting more than 20 comments in a row after he tweeted, replying to the fans who questioned him!

Then, news appeared that could be compared with Kobe Bryant's vote win.

"New NBA starters are fighting each other online, and the Internet has brought players and fans closer together!"

"Wow, I really didn't expect Qi to be so talented at teasing people."

This comment is already considered good.

"Is this the most 'people-friendly' star, Twitter versus keyboard warrior?"

"Our understanding seems to be a bit wrong. Asian keyboards are also quite easy to use."

"Haha, but what he said does make sense. Some people always comment on what has happened. Whoever they want to be on the board should just vote."

"Yes, the All-Star Game is an event that strives for popularity, isn't it? They are always so harsh on players with more votes."

"Pull him down. Qi can be in the starting lineup. Isn't it because of the number of people?"

"What does the person with the most votes say?"

"Wow, the game upstairs was a sure winner!"
