Chapter 273: All-Star Weekend opens
The All-Star Weekend is divided into four days and is held in four parts. On the evening of February 11, 2010, US time, the first All-Star Game, the All-Star Wheelchair Challenge. This game is mainly to make everyone care about the sports of the disabled, which is very meaningful. However, due to the heavy snow in Dallas, only a few stars attended the wheelchair basketball event. Zhang Kong is also one of the invited guests. He will still participate in such a meaningful game.
The next day, on the night of the 12th, there were three more advanced games in a row, namely the NBA All-Star Celebrity Championship, the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the NBDL DreamWorks Skills Competition. Among these games, the only one-year-old NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge is familiar to us Chinese fans. It is obvious that the first-year team this year is not simple, and the second-year team is not bad. There are nine people on each side. Perhaps because Zhang Kong wants to participate, Rose, who has been pressed by Zhang Kong, did not want to participate in the rookie challenge, because he and his level are obviously more than one-header than these rookies.
But Zhang Kong participated, and it seemed that Ross didn't seem to be very good if he didn't participate, so Ross also said through his agent that he would definitely participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, so that the lineup of the second-year team in the All-Star Rookie Challenge needs to be changed.
The list of players given by the first-year rookie team this year is Omi Casby from the Kings and their core Tyrek Evans from the Warriors Stephen Curry from the Spurs, Dejuan Blair from the Spurs. This is a little rebounding monster. Although it is not tall, its rebounding skills are quite terrible! Brandon Jennings from the Bucks, and Tyre Gibson from the Gongnian. The reason why the Bulls traded Tyruth Thomas was mainly to make way for this rookie.
There are also James Harden from the Thunder, Jonny Flynn from the Timberwolves, and Yunas Jerebko from the Pistons. These players are all rookies who performed well in the team this year, but unfortunately this year's No. 1 pick Griffin was reimbursed for the season.
There are also many players on the second-year team, including Michael Beasley, Danilo Gallinari of the Knicks, Brooke Lopez of the Nets, Oj Mayo and his teammate Gasol Jr., Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, and Anthony Morrow of the Warriors. The league originally thought that Zhang Kong and Ross would not participate in the All-Star Game, so there are two players who have made up for the finals.
Russell Westbrook of the Thunder and Eric Gordon of the Clippers are their post-subscription players, but Zhang Kong and Rose participate, so they can only be given up. The coaching is the chief assistant coach of the East and West head coach, that is, the chief assistant coach of Stan Van Gundy and George Carl, who are the head coaches of the first and second teams. The assistant coach of the assistant coach of the first-year team is the super scoring master this year. Kevin Durant, the assistant coach of the second-year team is Dragon King Chris Bosh, and the No. 13 is a very familiar program for everyone's skills competitions.
Also known as training day, the legendary training day before the East and West All-Star Game, starts from 2 pm, the Eastern Star Team first enters the field for training, then the Western Star Team enters the field for training, followed by the NBDL All-Star Game, and then the shooting star competition, the skills challenge, the long-range shooting competition, the dunk competition, and the horse that has just joined in recent years.
However, today has nothing to do with Zhang Kong. Today, Zhang Kong has not had a single game. He just represented the Eastern Stars team to train for a lap. On the night of the 14th, it will be the heaviest game on the All-Stars Weekend, the East-West All-Star Challenge.
In China on February 13, 2010, it was the 10-year Chinese New Year. In the United States, due to the twelve-hour time difference, Zhang Kong was already in the New Year when the 12th day passed. However, Zhang Kong was not idle for the New Year because he still had a game to play. The All-Star Rookie Challenge is still at the All-Star level.
Zhang Kong would not miss any opportunity to earn a survival point, and in his opinion, these rookies in this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge are not his opponents. Even Rose, who is the most popular among his team, is not his opponents.
In the team's locker room, it was obvious that the rookies on Zhang Kong and his team were divided into several small groups. The head coach's ability was severely weakened on stage like All-Star Weekend. They were not more to point out the team to win, and the coach selected for the All-Star is just an honor. Originally, Jim O'Brien should have become the head coach of the Eastern Stars team, but when he sent the letter, the Pacers were not the number one in the Eastern Conference. At that time, the Celtics were the first in the Eastern Conference. He had been the head coach of the Celtics, so he sent it to Stan Van Gundy, because in their opinion, the Pacers' ranking may still decline.
But who would have thought that the Pacers' ranking has not declined but rose recently, which is a bit surprising and firmly sits in the league's number one throne.
It is impossible to change at this time, so the head coach of the Eastern Conference Stars can only be Van Gundy, while the head coach of the second-year team can only be Patrick Ewing, and the assistant coach is the Raptors' star Chris Bosh.
These players in the second-year team have been drafted, and most of the players have also fought in NCAA, which can be said to be quite familiar people. Players like Garinari and Gasol Jr. have also fought in the European arena before. Although Garinari is Italian and Gasol is Espanyol, as an European in the United States, their relationship is not bad. The relationship between countries in Europe must be stronger than that in Asia... So the whole
The locker room was divided into three small factions, Ross, Beasley, Lopez, Lopez, and Moro, among other American players, gathered together, Garlinari and Gasol Jr., because Mayo was a teammate with Gasol Jr., so he ran back and forth in the two circles. Only Zhang Kong leaned against his wardrobe and slowly tied his shoelaces. It seemed that Zhang Kong might be slipping around there, but in fact Zhang Kong was observing...who observed? Observe Youn!
"I used to hear that this old guy was nicknamed gorilla, but now I look like a gorilla!" Zhang Kong Ewing's thick and protruding lips, Zhang Kong couldn't help but maliciously wondering in his heart whether he often turned his lips up like those gorillas on TV, often scaring others... The other two circles were having fun, and Zhang Kong was very happy to entertain himself here! If it were so many factions in the team's locker room, the head coach wouldn't sit still.
But now it's just the All-Star Challenge. After the game, we went our separate ways. Neither Ewing nor Bosh said anything.
But if Ewing knew where Zhang Kong was, he might not have been sitting so steadily~ You see, he was scratching his head now, his movements and expressions, except for that suit, he could not see any human appearance... Just when everyone thought the game would be so boring, Ross actually took the initiative to walk in front of Zhang Kong from his wardrobe. Now he knew that Zhang Kong steadily suppressed Ross in the league, whether it was attacking, assisting, passing, or blocking.
It was a bit like that, even the general evaluation, Zhang Kong steadily overwhelmed Ross. Among the entire second-year team, only Zhang Kong and Ross entered the All-Star Game. However, Ross was only a substitute and said when he was still selected that he might not participate in the rookie challenge because he was too tired. Zhang Kong didn't say anything directly. As the starter, he continued to participate in the rookie challenge. One game was counted, and he participated. The two of them had their attitudes and strength, and they put Ross in.
So now when everyone sees Rose coming to Zhang Kong, they are maliciously guessing, is Rose going to cause trouble for Zhang Kong?
There are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes. Based on the principle of not being afraid of major trouble when watching the excitement, even You Zai and Bosh have no intention of dissuading each other, unless they really do it, but this is unlikely.
"I haven't officially introduced it yet, Derek Ross!" What surprised everyone was that Ross actually walked in front of Zhang Kong and stretched his hand to Zhang Kong and said, "As the No. 1 pick last year, Ross is not stupid. Although the ball quotient and IQ are not proportional, it will not be too bad. Some players who can get the No. 1 pick are not very good, but their IQ is not low."
It is very unwise to conflict with Zhang Kong here at this time. Ross will not conflict with Zhang Kong for his future. Now he is mainly here to put some pressure on Zhang Kong, but obviously his way of pressuring is useless to Zhang Kong.
"Zhang Kong!" Zhang Kong said his name and reached out his hand. After shaking Ross for a moment, Zhang Kong let go.
Originally, Zhang Kong only thought that Ross came to say hello, but he didn't expect that Ross would sit directly next to Zhang Kong.
"I will play the point guard later. If you want the ball, you can get it with your ability!" Ross whispered in Zhang Kong's ear. This is also a threat. Because Zhang Kong is too tall, Ewing was arranged as a shooting guard. The point guard is Derek Ross. Such a defender combination is really dazzling in normal times, but now there are problems.
"No problem!" Zhang Kong glanced at Ross next to him, and did not refute, but responded lightly, see you on the court!
