Chapter 278 Becoming the Ticket King for the First Time
Jia Fei doesn't care what people say online. The fact is that he is now a member of the Hawks, and he has a chance to become an All-Star starter and compete for the regular season MVP.
The regular season MVP award is basically one of the hallmarks of a star player; it's a hard requirement. Winning a championship is good, but it doesn't necessarily make you a superstar, because some players haven't even played in the Finals but still won a championship ring.
After all, the championship is a team honor, while the MVP is an individual honor. Winning a championship as a core player certainly carries great significance, but a team has many players besides its core!
As for whether or not he should take the regular season MVP award, Jia Fei certainly did. He didn't want to lie and say he didn't want it, and just let someone else have it, since he wasn't good enough for the MVP, and so on. It's like asking Liu Yifei, Dilraba Dilmurat, Gulnazar, and other beauties to be your girlfriend, and then stubbornly saying no, that you prefer men, etc. It's the same principle.
Why not? The MVP rankings weren't bought with his own money; they were officially announced, so there's no way to fake it.
On January 9, the NBA officially released the latest results of the 2015 All-Star voting.
The Cavaliers' Running Man leads the league in votes, Jia Fei is second, and Curry is third.
Based on the current voting results, it's practically a done deal for Jia Fei to be selected as an All-Star starter.
Jia Fei was not surprised at all. He was selected as an All-Star starter last season, and his personal performance has improved this season. With the team's record so good, he has recently become the most talked-about person in the league. If he is not selected as a starter, it is not his problem, but the voting system.
Popularity and fame, once they rise, are hard to lose. Take this season's Running Man, for example. His performance wasn't great, and the team's record wasn't good either, yet he was still the top vote-getter—you can't argue with that. Even negative publicity is still publicity; he has that kind of online presence, and that's undeniable.
On January 10, the Hawks played the Pistons on the road.
The Hawks didn't play well in this game, and it was a tough match. In the end, they relied on their superior overall strength to defeat their opponents and achieve their 13th consecutive victory.
The Hawks' winning streak continues... On January 12, they defeated the Wizards at home, achieving their 14th consecutive victory.
Two days later, they easily defeated the 76ers on the road, achieving their 15th consecutive victory.
After achieving a 15-game winning streak, Jia Fei immediately accepted a new task—"to achieve a 20-game winning streak in the NBA regular season." He was afraid that he wouldn't have enough time and would miss an opportunity to earn points.
The following day, the Hawks easily defeated the Celtics in a back-to-back road game, extending their winning streak to 16 games.
16-game winning streak! The Hawks continue to set a new league record for the longest winning streak!
During this winning streak, the Hawks' fluid and efficient team offense, coupled with Jia Fei's superstar isolation plays and suffocating defense at crucial moments, provided the team with double insurance.
The Hawks' winning streak continues!
On January 17, the Hawks defeated their formidable rivals, the Raptors, on the road, achieving their 17th consecutive victory!
The following day, they won another back-to-back away game against the Bulls, achieving an 18-game winning streak!
On January 20, the Hawks easily defeated the Pistons at home, achieving their 19th consecutive victory!
On January 22, the Hawks easily defeated the Pacers at home, achieving their 20th consecutive victory!
20-game winning streak! The Hawks have achieved a remarkable 20-game winning streak! They have extended the league's longest winning streak this season to 20 games!
Jia Fei also completed the task of "achieving a 20-game winning streak in the NBA regular season" and received a reward of 5000 points.
Almost everyone in the league is debating when the Hawks' winning streak will end. There's no such thing as a team winning the entire season in the NBA; it's never happened. Even the strongest teams have off nights, and even the weakest teams can have a breakout game. Besides, there are no truly weak teams in the NBA; everyone is an NBA team.
The longest winning streak in NBA history is 33, achieved by the Lakers in the 1971-72 season! But that era is a bit long ago, back when Master Zhang was still alive! None of the players on the Hawks roster were even born then.
排名第2的是2012-13赛季热队的27连胜，华夏球迷最熟悉的就是火箭的22连胜了。
On January 23, the NBA officially announced the starting lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game.
In the final stages, Jia Fei surpassed Running Man and Curry to become the leading vote-getter for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game! He ultimately won the votes, becoming the new All-Star vote leader!
PS: Chris Paul: "What the hell do you want with me?"
The specific starting lineups for the East and West are as follows:
Eastern Conference: Jia Fei, Running Man, Big Sister, Wall, Lowry
Western: Brother, Black Snake, Thick Eyebrows, Silly Ginger, Little Sister-in-Law
Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr have become the head coaches for the East and West, respectively.
This is the first time in Jia Fei's career that he has won the All-Star vote, and it is also the second time that he has been selected as an All-Star starter.
He thus completed the task of "becoming the All-Star vote leader" and received a reward of 5000 points.
On January 24, the Hawks defeated the Thunder at home, achieving a 21-game winning streak!
Two days later, they continued their home game and defeated the Timberwolves, achieving a 22-game winning streak!
With a 22-game winning streak, the Hawks have officially tied the Rockets' 22-game winning streak from the 2007-08 season.
The Hawks' winning streak has become a hot topic of discussion in the league, with everyone wondering how far they can go. Can they surpass the Heat's 27-game winning streak?
On January 29, the Hawks continued their home game, defeating the Nets and achieving a 23-game winning streak, officially surpassing the Rockets' 22-game winning streak!
On January 30, the NBA officially announced the reserve rosters for the 2015 All-Star Game from the East and West.
Eastern Conference: Teague, Horford, Middleton, Jimmy Butler, Irving, Wade;
Western Conference: Harden, Durant, Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Aldridge, 58, Duncan.
Western Conference All-Star head coach Steve Kerr announced that James Harden and Klay Thompson will start in the All-Star Game, replacing injured Kobe Bryant and Blake Griffin. LaMarcus Aldridge will replace Anthony Davis as the Western Conference All-Star starter.
In the Eastern Conference, Korver replaced the injured Wade in the All-Star reserve roster, meaning all five of the Hawks' starting five are now in this year's All-Star Game.
This marks the most All-Star selections from a single team since the Lakers years ago, with all five Hawks starters making the cut. This isn't because their individual stats are outstanding; aside from Jia Fei, the other four's numbers are unremarkable, even somewhat lackluster, among All-Star caliber players. However, their team's record provides them with confidence. Their team is currently on a 23-game winning streak and remains undefeated this month.
The Hawks officially announced this exciting news. Jia Fei became the leading vote-getter and was selected as a starter, while Korver, Teague, Middleton, and Horford were all selected to the All-Star team, making it a truly star-studded lineup.
