Chapter 81: Giant Slayer
(TL/n: Double length Chapters incoming.)
A week later, at the beginning of February, the league announced the final results of the All-Star voting.
LeBron James topped the votes with 2.7 million, making him the All-Star vote leader.
Han Sen ultimately received 1.42 million votes— still far below Wade's 2.32 million but higher than Iverson's 1.32 million.
This meant he would join Wade as the Eastern Conference's starting backcourt for the 2010 All-Star Game!
Han Sen no longer had time to think about why the league really let him into the starting lineup.
The vote count just seemed absurd to him.
After all, Yi Jianlian had 1.8 million votes last year, and this year only 300,000!
Even if you take a 6-to-1 ratio, even if you discount the American fans who voted for him, it still meant that about three to four million people from China were voting for him!
Forget about getting around the great firewall or voting systems being a hassle—how many people would truly follow such a cumbersome process just to cast a vote?
It was terrifying!
