"Explain? How can this be explained? I can only accept one possibility: a statistical error!
Otherwise...
It's too unreasonable!"
"No, no, no...
First, Su Yan has indeed displayed phenomenal court dominance this season, making him a potential star aligning with the current era.
He plays well, has high potential, and naturally gains popularity quickly.
Second, his extremely high attractiveness has garnered him countless fans, especially female fans, who will surely try everything to vote for him.
Third, the Dragon Country market is also a huge advantage, especially since Yao Ming is out for the season due to injury this year.
Dragon Country fans will work even harder to vote for Su Yan.
Fourth, let everyone not forget that Su Yan has a large following in the entertainment industry, with fans of Mengmeng and Salena voting for him.
That's the entertainment industry.
Charting and soliciting votes are normal practices there, and if those fans really start campaigning, they will definitely account for the majority of the votes.
Crucially...
This support is essentially exclusive to Su Yan.
With these four factors combined, it is reasonable, though still exaggerated, that Su Yan could reach 2 million votes in the first round!
At the very least, it definitely isn't a statistical error.
I want to say... this year's ticket king can already be locked in ahead of time: it's Su Yan.
The only remaining suspense is how many votes Su Yan will ultimately receive to break the record for the strongest ticket king in history!!!"
"Unbelievable!"
"Seriously, it feels like a damn dream!"
"Su Yan's popularity is sky-high~"
"Locking up the ticket king in the first round—no one else has this kind of popularity!"
"Ahem... Let's congratulate Su Yan for locking up the 2009–10 all-star ticket king three rounds early!!!"
"..."
The fans' heated discussion exploded.
Two million votes in the first round—the shock this delivered was immense.
Not just the fans, but NBA players were stunned.
Magic Arena.
"WTF? Two million votes?"
Howard widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, "I can barely accept LeBron getting slightly more votes than me.
What the hell is Su Yan?
He's directly over a million votes ahead of me—what kind of joke is this?!"
"Something must be wrong."
Lewis stated with certainty.
"It's completely unscientific. Even someone as strong as Jordan couldn't have popularity and vote counts this high!" Jameer Nelson also shook his head.
"Haha~"
Carter, however, laughed and explained: "Su Yan plays well, is backed by the Dragon Country market, and has two Hollywood actresses from the entertainment industry campaigning for him.
That really can draw in a huge number of votes."
"Then I'm finished!"
The cheerful Howard shrugged and laughed, "Two million in one round—my dream of repeating as all-star ticket king is instantly shattered.
In fact,
I don't even need to fantasize anymore."
"That's true."
Lewis shook his head and chuckled, "Su Yan's popularity has soared through the roof; he has a crushing lead over the entire league.
The ticket king title belongs to no one but him.
Dwight and Vince, you two just need to focus on making the all-star team."
Carter shrugged, "Given the current situation, it seems that's all we can do!"
...Cavaliers Locker Room.
"WTF?!"
Varejão practically screamed while clutching his head, "Two million votes in one round? Is this something a human can achieve?!"
"What kind of joke is this?!"
LeBron, who aimed to win the ticket king title this year, showed an ape-like expression of shock, "Are you sure this isn't a statistical error?!
One million votes is the absolute limit, I think. How is 2 million possible? It seems unrealistic!"
"They must be cheating again!"
"The Big Shark" O'Neal roared, "Every year during all-star voting, the vote count for Dragon Country players is unreasonably high.
Otherwise,
How could I, a three-time champion and three-time FMVP dominator, ever be relegated to the bench for a rookie Center?!"
Clearly,
O'Neal still resented Yao Ming for taking his all-star starting Center spot back then, forcing him to be a backup for the rookie Yao Ming.
TBF.
That incident was indeed frustrating.
It was equivalent to having peak Jordan sit on the bench for a rookie Kobe—who could stand that?
Even though many years had passed,
O'Neal still held a grudge.
"Tsk tsk..."
Center Ilgauskas clicked his tongue, "Many people have expressed doubts, but... the NBA officially provided an explanation.
This vote count is accurate. In fact, due to Su Yan, they even performed an extra recount.
The result remained the same.
This proves... Su Yan's 2 million votes in the first round are legitimate; he truly received such a terrifying number of votes!"
"Huh?"
O'Neal's jaw dropped, "Is this the influence of the Dragon Country market? It's truly terrifying."
"Indeed."
LeBron nodded noncommittally and added, "However... I think Su Yan's gossip in the entertainment industry also provided a significant boost.
Mengmeng and Salena.
Two major Hollywood actresses campaigning specifically for him—that voting buff is fully stacked.
Hahaha~
It seems... this year's all-star ticket king is going to be won by an Undrafted Player. That's truly interesting!"
...Sweeping all major monthly honors + 2 million votes in the first round + official announcement with Mengmeng.
The superposition of these three events.
In an instant... Su Yan became the hottest rising star in the entire league, with almost every news story revolving around him.
Thinking about it this way,
it's actually normal for him to have such a high vote count... 3:00 PM.
St. Francis Hotel.
Su Yan got up and saw Mengmeng curled up slightly, sleeping sweetly like a little kitten.
Without disturbing her,
he quietly got out of bed and went to the guest bathroom for a shower.
Returning to the master bedroom, Su Yan lay down on the sofa to rest. About 20 minutes later,
there was movement on the bed.
"Eeeh yah"
Mengmeng stretched while making whimpering, childish sounds in her sleep—she was incredibly cute.
"You're awake~"
Su Yan smiled.
"I'm still so sleepy~"
Mengmeng struggled to open her beautiful, drowsy eyes and weakly sat up in bed.
Her excellent figure was fully displayed... (omitted)...
