The opening three-pointer in basketball

In the NBA headquarters building, there is a three-person team in the statistics department. The job of this team is to statistically examine the players' All-Star voting data.

There are votes for the All-Star Game.

and voting for the All-Star Rookie Game.

Luke is the statistician for the All-Star Rookie Game voting. He has a habit of looking at the bottom numbers first and then looking up.

The players participating in the All-Star Rookie Game are not voted by fans.

Instead, the votes will be cast by assistant coaches from all 30 NBA teams.

It's different from the All-Star Game where there are new statistics every weekend.

Statistics for the first round of the rookie game, which is also the last round.

The ranking in the first round determines which players can participate in the rookie game and who cannot participate in the rookie game.

The reason for this is probably because they are worried that these rookies are not well-known. If fans are allowed to participate in voting, I am afraid that the total number of votes will be less than 10,000.

It will be embarrassing then.

So NBA officials asked assistant coaches to vote.

One person from each team can vote, for a total of twenty-eight votes.

In fact, there are 12 votes for first-year players, 12 votes for second-year players, and four votes for players from the Development League.

Luke first looked at the votes from the Development League. There were a total of thirteen people supported by the assistant coaches.

The lowest one received only three votes.

The person with the highest number got twenty votes.

In addition, the second, third and fourth places received 18 votes, 17 votes and 15 votes respectively.

Luke wrote down the names of the four players with the highest votes and clicked on their information.

It was then uploaded to the alliance’s official website.

To be honest, even though he works in the NBA headquarters building, he really doesn't know what these four people do, what positions they are in, and which teams they come from.

He then clicked on the second-year voting, and a total of twenty-eight second-year rookies announced their participation in this year's NBA Rookie All-Star Game.

Luke knows more about the second-year players and has heard some of their names.

People like Wall, Paul George, Hayward, Cousins ​​and others have gradually become the core of the team.

These guys are bound to be All-Stars for years to come.

He then looked at the data for the second-year players and found that the last player had not received a single vote.

It's normal to think about it, after all, assistant coaches may not necessarily vote for their team's rookies.

The second-year rookie has already played in the league for a year. These guys all have a basic judgment on whether he has the ability and star appearance.

So it is actually normal not to have a ticket.

He looked at them one by one and quickly found the twelfth place vote. This person got thirteen votes.

He continued to look and quickly found the person at the top of the list. It was John Wall, the core leader of the Wizards.

Wall received twenty-eight votes.

This data is quite high, indicating that 28 assistant coaches recognize Wall.

Luke uploaded the data of the top twelve to the official website.

"It's time for the rookie soon."

Luke felt that his work would soon be done.

After counting the All-Star votes for the Rookie Game, he will then help tally the votes for the All-Star Game.

The voting rules for the All-Star Game are more responsible and require more manpower.

This year, a total of twenty-five rookies have announced their participation in the All-Star Rookie Game.

Luke clicked on the data and found that three rookies did not get a single vote.

Rookies have no rights.

He smiled, then looked down, and quickly reached the twelfth place. This person was supported by ten assistant coaches.

He then looked up and found that the second place was Irving, who had received votes from twenty assistant coaches.

Luke then scrolled up and quickly saw the first place. This person was Bai Yi, with thirty votes and unanimous support.

Luke naturally knows Bai Yi, who is the undoubted rookie king in the league this year and the absolute best rookie this season.

A super guy who averages 43.6 points per game.

Bai Yi is unanimously favored by assistant coaches from thirty teams in the league, which is normal.

Luke then clicked on the detailed data.

I found that all the teaching assistants supported Bai Yi and gave very good comments.

"Bai is the biggest discovery this year. If you give him enough time, he will definitely be a superstar like Kobe O'Neal."

"Bai is so good. He is the best rookie in the league and the best three-point shooter in the history of the league."

"Putting Bai together with other rookies is disrespectful to Bai."

The teaching assistants are so optimistic about Bai Yi.

Luke was a little surprised. After all, even if you perform well, it's hard to satisfy everyone.

After all, you are not a beautiful swordsman.

And Bai Yi unanimously supported it this time, and I have to say that his performance was really good.

Luke checked twice more to make sure that the data was correct. Then he uploaded all the players selected for this rookie game, and the vote percentage was naturally marked.

At this moment, Stevenson next to him suddenly shouted.

Stevenson is the statistician who counts the All-Star Game.

Luke looked over in confusion.

"What's up, man."

"Oh, do you know who the third place player in the All-Star Game is?"

Stevenson doesn't say first or second place, that's because any beautiful Chinese knows who is first or second.

These two people must be James and Kobe.

Ever since James entered the league, he has received strong support from the league. The top vote-getter every year is either him or Kobe.

The popularity of these two people can be said to be on par around the world.

So who is the third place in the All-Star Competition is the most interesting topic.

Luke thought for a while, "Is it Ross? Or Howard?"

Rose's Bulls are the first team in the Eastern Conference standings. His style of play is explosive and he is very popular.

As for the Magic, where Howard belongs, they are also a strong team in the Eastern Conference, and Howard is now undoubtedly the number one big man in the league.

He single-handedly supported the Magic's defensive system, with a star-studded lineup, allowing Howard to perform wonderfully in every game.

Stevenson shook his head, "No."

"Who is that? Is it Wade?"

Wade was the Flash when he was young, and he has always worked hard on the court and is also very popular with fans.

A few years ago, Wade ranked third in the league in votes.

Stevenson still shook his head. Seeing that Luke was losing his temper, he said, "It's Bai. The third place is Bai."

"Oh, really? How many votes does he have?"

"More than 460,000 votes."

Stevenson continued: "Both James and Kobe are a little over 550,000, and Bai is 460,000. But there are a few people below him whose votes are very close."

"Howard, Wade, Durant, and Rose all have more than 450,000 votes. Rose is only 200 votes less than Bai, and Howard is 500 votes less than Bai."

"It's incredible that Bai can surpass the popular king Rose."
