Chapter 270: Stars Converge
It is said that 03 is a super draft year once in ten years, which is not false at all. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is only in its second year, but three players have already been selected as All-Stars.
The All-Star Weekend was held in Denver, but it was a bit embarrassing for Denver's current star star.
Carmelo Anthony.
After being drafted by the NBA after James as the Chosen Son, the Pistons drafted what they considered to be a Serbian prodigy with no less talent than James' Mirisic. Without hesitation, and ecstatically, the people of Denver took the MOP of Syracuse University under their command and embarked on the path of rebuilding with him at the core.
In the second year of his career, James and Wade have both improved rapidly and stepped into the ranks of the league's top stars.
Anthony, who is also the top three scorer, has struggled this year, although there are occasional flashes, but on the whole, it is slightly inferior to last season's amazing, and can only be regarded as a team's attack point, an ordinary star, and a second-year rookie who needs to be cultivated urgently.
Anthony is frustrated, because in addition to the two people who were originally on par with him in the class of 03, there is also the sudden rise of Yang Di, after being traded to the West, Yang Di made a big move, squeezed out a veteran insider, and became this year's All-Star substitute.
The All-Star bench, in a sense, is more convincing than the All-Star starter.
Because of the All-Star starter, sometimes it is more like a symbol of honor and popularity, many big-name players, although they are out of shape, but with the fixed exposure in the past and the accumulated status, there will still be a large number of fans who vote for them. Just like Yao Ming, squeezing out O'Neal to become the starting center in the West is a symbol of popularity, and many times, the outside world has to question such a mechanism.
But the All-Star bench won't, because these bench players are all selected by the head coaches of thirty teams.
Starting superstars aside, the coach may look no further than some of the more low-key players, but he certainly doesn't overlook a player who has a big role to play on the pitch.
Yang Di left a deep impression on all the coaches, and the coach voted for the western center.
And he is only 20 years old now.
China's media is happy, and the two All-Star centers in the West are both Chinese players, and they all feel like they have a light on their faces when they walk down the streets of Denver.
On the streets of Denver, tourists from all over the world flocked to the event, and the tabloids and tabloid newspapers hid in it to record Yang Di's details.
The picture of Yang Di and Tang Xinran traveling hand in hand was taken by reporters one after another, which confirmed the ironclad evidence that Yang Di changed his girlfriend. However, Yang Di himself did not come out to defend himself, and after uploading it to the Internet, it caused heated discussions among netizens. However, it was just one of the usual tidbits during the All-Star Weekend, where so many news points diverged, and it didn't take long for fans to be drawn to the rest of the news.
Because of the presence of Yang Di and Yao Ming, this year's all-star game also attracted many Chinese film and television and music stars.
For example, Jay Chou, the new king of Chinese music, came to the scene, as well as Lin Junjie, Wilber Pan and others who like to play.
On the second day of All-Star Weekend, Yang Di went to the community with Iverson, Ray Allen, Maddie and others to participate in volunteer labor in accordance with the arrangements stipulated by the NBA league, leaving behind amiable pictures.
On the third day, it was time for the first start of all the competitions.
In the Rookie Challenge, the roster is voted on by the assistant coaches of the 30 teams.
This year's first-year players are Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, Andre Iguodala, Emeka Okafor, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard, Tony Allen, Rohr Deng and Udri.
The second-year players are Jandy, James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, Haslem, Korver, Hinrich, and Luke Ridno.
There are several excellent interior players in the first-year players, while the second-year interior line only relies on Yang Di and Bosh to support the faΓ§ade.
Last year, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge was taken away by the Suns' small bully Stoudemire, and this year Stoudemire was helped by Nash, averaging 26 points per game and soaring.
"Let me get the MVP this year!" When he was in the locker room, Anthony took the initiative to walk up to Yang Di and grinned.
"No problem." Yang Di stood up, gave Anthony a firm hug, and smiled: "This is not good, I came all the way to participate in the All-Star Game, and I also came to get an honor, MVP is given to you, then I didn't come for nothing." β
Anthony immediately made a sad face, "I'll invite you to dinner when I go back." β
"Deal!" Yang Di laughed and stopped making fun of Anthony.
Anthony was also happy, knowing that Yang Di was playing with him just now, and they all said that Yang Di had high emotional intelligence and would not mess around.
Yang Di raised his eyebrows, "Actually, this year's first grade is also eyeing us to defeat us, after all, we only have two inside lines." β
"Cut, it's the age of small balls, and it's enough for us to have you." Anthony took a bite and said nonchalantly.
As soon as he said that, the locker room door was pushed open and the likes of Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James walked in.
Anthony was a thief with a weak heart, and faced Bosh and the others with a stiff face.
Yang Di was secretly happy in his heart, and he also greeted him, Wade's eyes lit up, his big hand shook Yang Di, and his shoulders collided, "Hey, when did you come over." β
"Of course, I came here two days ago, and yesterday I went to a community event with Aaron, Tracy and others."
"Put on a good show today and relax."
Anthony then told James and others about his willingness to win the MVP, so that the remaining four starters have become his internal response, and he doesn't know whether he wins or loses, at least it's okay to get the data.
It didn't take long for the rest of the players to walk in.
When it was time for the game to start, the Rookie Challenge attracted a lot of stars and players.
Yang Di received a lot of cheers when he appeared.
He turned his head to hear his Chinese name being called.
Right in the front row of the bench, his eyes lit up.
"Hey!"
Yang Di walked over, and the man in the headscarf had a smile on his face, and his hip-hop style was very much like that of an outstanding rapper in the West.
"Hey, Yang Di!" Jay Chou stood up, compared with Yang Di, who is 2.08 meters, although there is a big difference in figure, his momentum is not low, and he is worthy of being a person who has held a concert of 10,000 people.
"I've been listening to your songs! Jay. Yang Di laughed and high-fived him and hugged him.
"I've been watching you play too, it's so cool for you to play, I'm a fan of yours." Jay Chou waved his arms to cheer Yang Di, "I have prepared tickets for the Oakland playoffs, and I can't wait to see your more intense and better performance in the playoffs." β
"Haha, that's great, I'll be motivated."
