NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Staples Center Arena, the All-Star ceremony is still going on.

After the three-point contest, there was a skill competition, but Long Rui did not participate in this competition.

And after the skills competition, there were still some sessions of interaction with fans, which of course had nothing to do with Long Rui.

He has completed all the projects for tonight, and tomorrow is the main game of the All-Stars, which is also the most important drama!

Long Rui sat on the sidelines, holding tonight's two trophies, chatted with Curry and others, and only got up and left after all the projects were over.

After returning to the hotel, the tired Long Rui fell asleep. He had to restore his body to the best condition before tomorrow's main match.

Kecheng, in the gymnasium.

Ran Ruoxue sat on the sofa, constantly scrolling through the news, even though it was early morning, she didn't feel sleepy.

Whenever there is news about Long Rui on the computer screen, she will click to read it.

Then she found a video about Long Rui's game highlights in the All-Stars.

Although she watched the live broadcast the whole time, she always felt that there was more to it, especially Long Rui's four performances in the slam dunk contest, which were simply pleasing to the eye.

Ran Ruoxue repeatedly played the scene of Long Rui's dunking, and every movement was deeply remembered in her heart. After watching it for a long time, tiredness slowly came, and she fell asleep after a while, but the computer screen Still constantly replaying the dunk scene.

……

The next day, Long Rui slowly woke up, and it was already six o'clock in the evening.

After a simple wash, he headed towards the Staples Center.

Outside the arena, fans have long lined up, waiting for the ticket check to enter the venue.

Long Rui walked through the player tunnel, went to the backstage locker room, and put on his All-Star jersey.

A moment later, the Big Three of the Heat also came together. When they saw Long Rui, the expressions of the three were a little complicated.

Especially 'The Flash' Wade, if it wasn't for Long Rui, he would be firmly in the starting position.

Looking at the expressions of these three people, Long Rui originally thought that they would ignore him, but he never expected that they would come up to say hello on their own initiative.

"Long Rui, we meet again, but this time we are teammates!"

James laughed.

"You are not bad, I read correctly, you are really strong!"

Wade also chuckled.

I have to say that Wade the Flash is still very handsome, and he is definitely a representative of handsome men among Americans.

"I'm amazed you were able to knock out Dwyane's starting spot!"

'Dragon King' Bosh still feels a little unbelievable until now, because he knows how good Wade is, but Long Rui surpassed him in the last round of votes, which is a difficult thing to do.

Long Rui was a little surprised to be praised by the Heat's Big Three at the same time.

He smiled slightly and shrugged: "Thank you for the compliment, but even though we are teammates now, it doesn't mean there is no competition."

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them were a little confused. They looked straight at Long Rui with doubts in their expressions.

"The All-Star MVP, I will fight for it."

Hearing this, the three of them finally realized that James had already looked down on such an honor, but what Long Rui said seemed to arouse his fighting spirit.

Not only James, but all the players in the locker room looked at Long Rui after hearing this sentence.

It is not an easy task to stand out among so many All-Star players and win that MVP trophy.

"Boy, self-confidence is a good thing, but too much self-confidence will appear a little arrogant."

It was Kevin Garnett, known as the 'Wolf King', who spoke.

Garnett has always shaped the image of a tough guy in the NBA. As long as he is on the court, he always seems to be full of passion!
Long Rui also took a look at him, and immediately responded: "Are you arrogant, you will know when the time comes."

Hearing this, Garnett's face darkened. He had never seen such an arrogant rookie player. Even the Philadelphia kid Iverson who dared to challenge Jordan in his rookie season was not as arrogant as Long Rui.

The atmosphere in the locker room seemed unharmonious, but James' emotional intelligence was extremely high, so he immediately changed the subject and started talking idle.

A moment later, NBA commissioner David Stern appeared and made a wonderful opening speech.

Immediately afterwards, under the introduction of the host, the players appeared on the stage one after another!

The all-star lineups in the east and west are very luxurious, and it can be said that the stars are shining.

The head coach of this Eastern Conference All-Star is Doug Rivers from the Celtics.

The head coach who served as the Western All-Star is the NBA's top coach, San Antonio's Gregg Popovich.

After some opening ceremonies, the game officially started.

The two sides started on the court.

Eastern All-Star starters: Derrick Rose, Long Rui, LeBron James, Amare Stoudemire, Dwight Howard

Western All-Star starters: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan
Judging from the starting lineup, the strength of the two sides can be said to be evenly matched, and this is destined to be an extremely exciting game.

"Dudu!"

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins.

The two sides made a jump ball in the middle circle, and 'Warcraft' Howard played against 'Stone Buddha' Duncan.

In terms of the physical talents of the two, Howard has an absolute advantage, but if comparing the offensive skills of the inside, Duncan is stronger.

After the two sides took their positions, the referee threw the ball up.

'Warcraft' Howard's excellent jumping ability was displayed at this moment, and he directly dialed the ball down, winning the first wave of offensive rights for the Eastern Stars.

'Phoenix Rose' Rose handles the ball from beyond the arc, making his second career All-Star selection but his first start.

The young and vigorous Rose naturally wants to show his abilities in front of countless fans.

In the first attack of the opening game, he faced Chris Paul, the number one point guard in the league today, and wanted to make a breakthrough.

Although Paul's height is insufficient, no one dares to question his defensive ability.

He has a strong defensive awareness and can often complete some key steals.

The young and energetic Rose still looks a little immature in front of the experienced Paul.

When he started the first step, Paul had already seen through him, and quickly attacked.

In a careless way, Rose lost the ball directly, while Paul seized the opportunity and went straight down to complete the attack.

0:2
The Western All-Stars got off to a good start.

"Derek, that's not the way to fight."

Paul cracked a sly smile, which embarrassed Rose a bit.

Stoudemire sent the baseline ball, and Rose continued to control the ball. With the first lesson, he was obviously more cautious in this attack.
