Who are most likely to make their first All-Star appearances in February 2018？
以下那位最可能完成2018年2月份的全明星首秀？
Here are the players who received the most votes:
下面是得票最多的六位球员：
Karl-Anthony Towns
唐斯
Towns averaged over 25 points and 12 rebounds per game last season, becoming just the second player ever to put up those numbers and not make the All-Star team. (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the first to do so in 1977-78 -- the only season of his career he didn't make the All-Star team).
上赛季，唐斯场均能贡献超过25分12个篮板的数据，成为第二位能够得到此数据但没有进入全明星的球员（第一位是卡里姆 阿卜杜尔-贾巴尔，他曾在1977-78赛季得到上述数据，但没有进入全明星——这也是他职业生涯唯一一次没有入选全明星阵容。）
Though competition for an All-Star spot out West will be stiff, Towns is a good bet to get the nod if Minnesota shows the significant improvement many expect.
虽然，在西部竞争一个全明星席位将会非常激烈，但是如果明尼苏达森林狼能够像人们预期的一样有大幅的提升，唐斯将有很大的希望进入到全明星。
But one reason to be leery is defense; Towns ranked dead last in the NBA among centers in defensive real plus-minus last season.
但是唯一的疑问就是他的防守，在上赛季中锋的防守正负值排名中，唐斯位于可怜的最后一位。
Kristaps Porzingis
波尔津吉斯
Given the dearth of talent in the Eastern Conference, it seems the only things that could reasonably keep Porzingis out of the All-Star Game are an injury or the Knicks being so bad that they simply don't warrant a selection.
考虑到东部人才的凋零，似乎唯一能阻挡波尔津吉斯入选全明星的就是伤病或者尼克斯摆烂，无法轻易保证波尔津吉斯的选票。
Frontcourt competition Jimmy Butler and Paul George are now in the Western Conference, and if the Knicks trade Carmelo Anthony, Porzingis will be the clear-cut No. 1 option in New York.
吉米巴特勒与保罗乔治的前场之争已经移师西部，如果尼克斯再把安东尼交易，很明显，波尔津吉斯将会成为纽约的第一选择。
In the nearly 600 minutes he played without Anthony and Derrick Rose last season, Porzingis averaged 21.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per 36 minutes with a usage percentage of 26.5. That's All-Star-caliber production.
上赛季，波尔津吉斯在没有安东尼和德里克罗斯上场的近600分钟里，他在36分钟里能平均得到21.6分和8个板，同时有26.6%的球权使用率。这是一个全明星水平的数据。
Joel Embiid
恩比德
If he stays healthy, it's hard to see Embiid getting snubbed in the East if he performs anywhere close to how he did in 2016-17. Embiid averaged 28.7 points, 11.1 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per 36 minutes and finished with the second-highest per-minute scoring rate by a rookie in NBA history, behind only Wilt Chamberlain.
如果保持健康，有着接近2016-17赛季的表现，恩比德很难在东部受到冷落。上赛季，他在每36分钟里能够得到28.7分，11.1个篮板和3.5次盖帽，这排在NBA历史新秀每分钟得分率第二位，仅次于张伯伦。
Embiid already might be the league's best rim protector, as opponents shot just 41 percent against him at the rim, which was tops in the NBA.
恩比德或许已经成为联盟中最好的护筐者，因为在恩比德防守下，对手在篮下仅能有41%投篮命中率，属于联盟顶尖水平。
Rudy Gobert
戈贝尔
An All-NBA center and runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year last season, Gobert is a strong candidate as the anchor of one of the league's stingiest defenses. That said, a boost on the offensive end would certainly help.
上赛季NBA最佳阵容中锋以及年度最佳防守球员的领跑者，有着联盟中最密不透风的防守之一，戈贝尔绝对是全明星强有力的竞争者。有人说，如果能在进攻端有所提升，绝对对进入全明星有帮助。
Though the knee-jerk reaction might be to suggest Gobert will see an offensive spike since Gordon Hayward is now in Boston, Gobert actually scored less often with Hayward off the floor last season. The bigger factor could be point guard Ricky Rubio, a master facilitator who should create more scoring opportunities for Gobert.
由于戈登海沃德的远走波士顿，即使膝盖有所拉伤，戈贝尔也将会在进攻端突飞猛进，但事实上，在上赛季海沃德在场下的时，戈伯特往往得到更少的分。现在最大的因素就是控卫卢比奥的到来，他大师级的传球将会为戈贝尔创造更多得分机会。
Nikola Jokic
约基奇
Only two players last season had a better player efficiency rating from Christmas onward than Jokic. One of them won the MVP (Russell Westbrook) and the other was the only player to make first-team All-NBA and first-team All-Defense (Kawhi Leonard). Over that span, Jokic averaged 19.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists while shooting 58 percent from the field.
上赛季，在圣诞节之后，联盟中只有两个人比约基奇的球员效率值高，其中一个赢得了MVP（韦斯特布鲁克）另一个同时入选了一阵和一防（莱昂纳德）。在此期间（圣诞节后赛季期间），约基奇场均得到19.8分，11.2个篮板和5.8次助攻，同时有58%的投篮命中率。
If he picks up where he left off and the Nuggets take a step forward after the addition of Paul Millsap, Jokic should warrant serious All-Star consideration.
如果他能再打出这样的数据，并且在保罗·米尔斯加入后，掘金在全明星前能够采取措施，约基奇将会被确保入选全明星。
Bradley Beal
比尔
Beal just turned 24 and is coming off easily his best season after averaging more than 23 points per game while shooting 40 percent on 3s, a feat matched by only Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving in 2016-17. Beal set a career high in PER, and his 8.5 win shares were more than double his total in any previous season.
仅仅24岁的比尔轻松的度过了他最棒的赛季，场均超过23的得分和40%的3分命中率使他在2016-17赛季仅排在史蒂芬库里和凯尔欧文之后，职业生涯新高的效率值，还有他8.5分的胜利贡献率比他以前所有赛季之和的两倍还多。
With the vacuum created by player migration out West, Beal has a realistic shot at earning an All-Star nod.
随着球员大规模的向西部迁徙而产生空缺，比尔很有可能获得全明星的点头认可。
