I don’t care much about foreign festivals, but everyone wishes me well. I also wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope each of you can read this chapter tomorrow.

The All-Star Game on the 19th is composed of 4 individual events.
There were not many Magic players participating today, only 3 players participated. Nash participated in the skills competition, Josh Smith participated in the dunk contest, and Marion participated in the mixed shooting competition.
In the end, the combination of Marion, Tauris and Mayer won the mixed shooting competition. Nash, the league's current assist leader, won the skills competition, and Quentin Richardson of the Suns became the winner of the three-point long-range shooting competition.
The new top scholar.
Edison appeared on the sidelines again today, but not to say how much he liked it, but because he was escorted by Rachel.
Edison's outrageous move in yesterday's Rookie Challenge attracted a lot of film. The media coverage after the game was as popular as Anthony who won the MVP in the end, and Rachel's move was reported by various sports news.
It all showed up. So Edison originally didn't plan to go the next day, but Martin called him early in the morning and asked Rachel to drag him to the Pepsi Center in Denver.
After arriving at the arena, Edison had been in low spirits, watching the game with an idiotic expression, and then applauded along with the crowd.
He stayed down there during the game between Marion and Nash and didn't take the initiative to talk to them because he was sitting relatively far back today and Nash and the others didn't notice him.
Soon the highlight of the dunk contest came. It is said that the dunk contest has become more and more boring since Carter quit. This year, in order to restore the decline, Stern has been encouraging James to participate, but his son cannot always listen to his father, and James has not agreed.
In the end, the Magic's Josh Smith made it all the way and met Stoudemire in the finals.
Josh's first dunk was a powerful left-hand windmill dunk, and his second dunk was a 360-degree turn in the air to catch a windmill dunk. Both dunks received a full score of 50 points, while Stoudemire's performance was average.
Two dunks in the final resulted in only 87 points.
In this way, Josh Smith was crowned the new slam dunk king. But now the audience's vision is too tricky. If you don't do a 360 degree and change hands at the crotch to win the dunk king, it will feel a bit unworthy of the name.
However, after seeing his favorite general win the slam dunk championship, Edison immediately sent his congratulations.
In this way, after awarding Josh the award, the second day of the All-Star Weekend came to a successful end.
Edison got up early on the third day, took a shower, waxed his hair, and then put on the Armani suit that Martin had brought.
While Edison looked sideways in the mirror, he asked Rachel, who was tying his tie, "Baby, how are you? Am I handsome enough today to look like George Clooney?"
While silently helping him adjust his collar, Rachel replied, "Paul, I'm not trying to knock you. I see George Clooney in person almost every week in Los Angeles, but you are much more energetic than him."
Then Rachel squeezed Edison's arm.
Edison hugged Rachel's butt and moved it against him, "Not only is it energetic, but it's also more energetic." After saying this, he looked at Rachel evilly, and then kissed her passionately.
After the kiss, Edison came downstairs, where Martin was already waiting for him. The two of them went straight to the Pepsi Center without any pause.
When we arrived at the gym, Stern's chief assistant Adam Silva had been waiting for a long time.
"Paul, why are you here? It's almost 9 o'clock. Go to the dressing room with me quickly and get ready. Then follow the flow chart we arranged for you yesterday. You go to both sides of the venue first to prepare for the evening concert.
Preparing for rehearsal." When he saw Edison coming, Silva grabbed his hand and dragged him behind without any explanation...
In fact, the All-Star Game is a performance, and most of the things are performed for the audience. Even the results of the game are sometimes not entirely determined by the players.
Then under the command of Silva, Edison went through the whole morning process like a puppet, and then adjusted the sound effects of the scene with the cooperation of the sound engineer. This trip was so busy that the whole morning passed. In the afternoon, it was the fans
During the carnival time, Edison and the others could no longer rehearse, so he returned to the hotel like a dog, had something to eat, and then prepared for the game in the evening.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Edison appeared in front of Silva on time, fully dressed.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, US time, the All-Star Game kicked off. First, the main players on both sides appeared at both ends of the court with promotions and relegations.
The five people on the west side put their arms across their shoulders, and then took turns squatting down to play the human wave. On the other hand, the five people on the east side did a hula dance.
The movements of the players on both sides were very clumsy, and the fans and celebrities in the audience laughed wildly. Then under the lights, the substitute players from the east and west came out one by one under the guidance of the DJ.
When all the players came out, some senior fans began to wonder, because usually the NBA All-Star Game would invite a guest to perform live, and usually before the players came out, but today the players had already come out, and there was no
See theatrical performances.
Just when everyone was still wondering, the whole place suddenly went dark, then the flick of a guitar slowly sounded, and then a soft and magnetic baritone began to sing.

When the song was a third of the way through, and all the fans began to be attracted by the simple and melodious rhythm of the song and the grandeur of the lyrics, the spotlight suddenly hit the center of the stadium, and Edison stood there with a microphone.
Rachel was sitting in the third row in the middle of the stadium. Looking at Edison under the spotlight in the center of the stadium, she suddenly felt very strange. She tried hard to think about every bit of the two people, from the very beginning when they met by chance.
The frank meeting last night, from the initial rapport to the relationship between you and me now, the more you get in touch with her, the more you feel that you don't understand Edison.
He knows basketball and is a coach; he doesn’t know movies, but the films he shot are the biggest dark horses in film history. As long as you talk about the 2004 movie, Paul Edison is a name you can’t get around; he doesn’t have time to make music, but
We have already produced two songs in a row that will make you feel as if you are in your soul as soon as you listen to them...
Who is he? Which one is the real him? Is everything happening now real?
Later, Rachel confided her doubts to Edison, and Edison put his arm around her shoulders and replied, "These are me, and the combination of these is the real Edison. No matter whether the world is real or not, your heart must be real.
As long as you become real, all the unreality will become real."
Rachel was confused, but the fans in the audience were excited. They knew that Magic's coach Edison was good at singing and acting, but no one expected that his talent was so high.
After the song was sung, the audience burst into lasting applause, and for a while the NBA All-Star Weekend turned into Edison's personal concert.
Edison waved to everyone amidst the cheers of the audience, and this song became a classic tonight.
After the miscellaneous activities were over, the main meal was served, and the confrontation between the East and the West began.
Because of Edison's Butterfly Effect, there are some changes in the Eastern and Western All-Star Game personnel this year and in history.
Players from the Eastern Conference voted to start: center O'Neal, forward Carter, forward Hill, guard James, and guard Iverson.
The seven substitutes are: Ben Wallace, Arenas, Nash, Wade, Marion, O'Neal Jr., and Paul Pierce.
Although Nash has performed well and is a popular candidate for MVP this season, the All-Star starters are voted by fans. The key is which star is more popular. At this point, the gap between Nash and Iverson is quite obvious.
Howard was not selected, it's very simple. He is a rookie now, not the Warcraft that he will be later, and because of the Magic's tactical arrangement, his statistics are not eye-catching, so he cannot compare with Ben Wallace.
In fact, Hill was still a very popular small forward in those years. Although he did not play much in the previous two years, his popularity is still there. After returning from injury this season, although he switched to playing sixth man, his data has shrunk.
But he is still as technically beautiful as ever, which has aroused renewed enthusiasm from fans. Of course, his selection is related to two important figures, one is McGrady's departure, and the other is James being classified as a guard player by the league. Otherwise, if he is selected with these two people
Competition, then Hill is definitely not their opponent.
Marion's performance so far is also very stable, averaging 17.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Although the data has decreased compared with last season and historically, his selfless running on both ends of the offense and defense is incredible on paper.
It showed, so in the final vote of league coaches, Marion was on the list and became the third Magic player to be selected to the All-Star.
And Nash and Marion also squeezed out the original historical players Ilgauskas and Jamison.
Compared to the small number of personnel changes in the east, there are also two personnel changes in the west compared to history.
First of all, there are changes in the starting lineup in the Western Conference. The center is naturally Yao Ming, who is also the vote leader this year. The forwards are Duncan and Garnett. There is nothing to argue with. One of the guards is Kobe, which has not changed, and the other is.
Kidd. In fact, as Yao Ming's teammate, Kidd's votes have also increased significantly compared with previous years.
McGrady, the original starter in history, was on the bench. Other substitutes included SuperSonics twin stars Lewis and Ray Allen, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, and Stoudemire of the Suns.
The replacement for Marion in history is Carmelo Anthony, the darling of the Nuggets' home court. There are also rumors that Anthony was selected for the All-Stars. Originally, the coach selected Gasol, but Stern was not satisfied. In order to take care of the Denver people,
Due to his emotions, he was taken down and replaced by Anthony. However, this kind of thing can only be discussed in private. After all, no one has real evidence, and there will not be much controversy among the fans about which of the two people is selected.
The head coach of the Western Conference is Popovich, who makes the Spurs perform well.
In the East, Paul Edison is in charge. In fact, with the Magic's inexplicable two-game losing streak, the Heat have already caught up with the wins and are now ranked behind the Magic just because of one more game and a small score. But the Magic's next opponent is
If the Pacers lose, they may be overtaken by the Heat immediately.
However, David Stern is now strongly recommending Edison. Not to mention that the Magic are still number one, he is really surpassed by the Heat. Stern can find all kinds of excuses to let Edison be the head coach of the Eastern Conference.
And if you really want to find a reason, it's easy. The Magic are the team that has improved the most, and compared to the Heat, the Magic don't have a killer like O'Neal. One person can influence the players in the league.
