Super all-around point guard

Chapter 171 All Stars! ! !
After thinking about it day and night, I finally waited until the All-Star Weekend, which is a feast for NBA fans and basketball lovers all over the world!Every year at this time, the world's top stars will gather together, and everyone is attracting attention. Players who can perform well on this stage will instantly become famous all over the world!

All-Star is undoubtedly the best stage for Xie Chen to further expand his popularity.

The All-Star Weekend lasts for three days. The first day, that is, tonight, is the All-Star Rookie Game, with the international team playing against the US team. The second day is the All-Star Individual Game.

In the three-day program, Xie Chen participated in the whole process from the first day to the end of the third day. It can be said that he is the busiest and most exposed player.

Before coming to New York, coach Spoelstra told Xie Chen not to work so hard. The All-Stars are a place for entertainment, especially when he does not rest for three days, he must pay attention to maintaining his physical strength. However, Spoel knew that for a rookie who was selected as an All-Star just after entering the league, he would definitely not be able to contain his excitement and strength.

After arriving in New York, Xie Chen told Wade and Bosh that he was going to go shopping. Bosh went back to the hotel first, and Wade followed Xie Chen. The two were dressed in trendy clothes and sunglasses, and were unrecognizable by many people along the way.

When Xie Chen came to a musical instrument store, Xie Chen stopped, and Wade was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that you came to buy musical instruments, brother, we are definitely close friends, and I also like music very much."

Thank you Hehe smiled, took Wade into this old piano store, held a ukulele in his hand, stroked the strings carefully, as if he was holding his beloved woman in his arms, Wade saw Xie Chen being so gentle with this ukulele that was less than two thousand dollars, he couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you play a few times to open my eyes?"

Xie Chen shook his head and handed the ukulele to the waiter: "I want this ukulele."

After that, he said to Wade: "I can't play."

Wade and Xie Chen sat down and said with a smile: "So it was given to someone else, I guess it must not be for Scarlett, Katie?"

Wade already knew about the story of Xie Chen and Katie, and Xie Chen nodded: "Today is her birthday. When we were renting together, we discussed this matter. She said she wanted me to give her a ukulele, and then we took it to the beach to the desert, to any place we like, and we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and play music. She said that must be a wonderful thing."

For a moment, Xie Chen remembered many things from the past. Wade patted Xie Chen on the shoulder and comforted him: "This is really a difficult thing. You know that we professional athletes have almost no personal time since the beginning of the season. Until the end of the season, even if you really like her, I don't think you have time to develop this relationship. Everything will wait until after the playoffs."

"Sir, your violin is ready."

Xie Chen sighed, and took the ukulele over. It was a gift, but one that he didn't intend to give away. Xie Chen didn't know if it was meaningful to fulfill this previous promise now. For him, the most important thing was basketball.

Xie Chen had contacted Scarlett before coming to New York. This big star is still busy with filming and endorsement. Not to mention today, or even tomorrow, Xie Chen's three-point contest will not appear.

It was night soon. This All-Star Weekend was co-hosted by the Knicks and the Nets. Tonight’s All-Star Rookie Game was held at the Nets’ home stadium, the Barclays Center. Generally speaking, the Rookie Game was the least-watched event during the All-Star Weekend. Even for many fans, the real All-Star Game started on the second day of the slam dunk contest, and everyone directly ignored the rookie game on the first day.

It's no wonder that the rookies are not well-known in the world, and their games are not as good as those of the real All-Stars. It is really boring to watch. The attendance rate of the Barclays Center Arena is only over [-]%, and a considerable part of this is driven by Xie Chen. Otherwise, the attendance rate will be even worse.

Of course, Xie Chen's parents also came to the scene. During the all-star period, his parents would accompany Xie Chen to "fight together" every day.

In addition, the three good brothers James, Anthony, and Wade also came to the scene to watch the game.

All three of them were dressed in cool clothes, especially the host Anthony, who was talking and laughing on the sidelines. Wade couldn't help but joked: "Would you like to make a bet, I guess my brother Chris Xie will definitely win."

Anthony smiled and said, "Since you choose the US team, then I will choose the international team, LeBron, how about you?"

James scratched his head and said with a smile: "D-Wade, I really want to be on your side, but it seems that the international team has a stronger lineup. However, it is estimated that these boys will not seriously fight, so the outcome is not important. If you want to bet, it is better to bet on tomorrow's slam dunk contest and three-point contest."

Wade and Anthony also nodded, Wade said: "There is no doubt that I still support my teammates in the three-point contest. As for the slam dunk contest, I choose Oladipo. This guy is very calm and has the style of a boss."

"Well, I also choose Oladipo." Anthony also agreed.

James seemed to have an idea in mind: "I am still more optimistic about Stephen Curry in the three-point contest. As for the dunk contest, I choose Zach LaVine. Oh, by the way, Cameron, you haven't said who you will choose in the three-point contest!"

Anthony took off the hat on his head and sighed: "Do I have any other options? The first guy to break my scoring record in a single quarter, can I not choose him?"

James and Wade laughed. They both knew that without Thompson's 37 points in a single quarter, there would be no Xie Chen's 38 points in a single quarter. Anthony is still the record holder for the highest score in a single quarter.

The golden generation in 03 was talking and laughing on the sidelines, and Xie Chen, Zach Lavin, and Wiggins, the new golden generation of 14 years, also chatted on the sidelines.

Zach LaVine and Xie Chen are teammates, and they have quickly established a good friendship. They hooked their shoulders together like good brothers, and even challenged Wiggins, the Timberwolves teammate's opponent in this game: "Hey, Andrew, I will join hands with Xie tonight. I will definitely beat your international team to the ground."

Wiggins threatened LaVine: "Don't forget the slam dunk contest tomorrow. I will cooperate with you. If you do this again, be careful that I will deliberately pass the ball to you."

Zach Lavin smiled and said: "With my dunk ability, no matter how bad your pass is, I can complete it with a full score!"

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about?" The three of them were chatting, and Antetokounmpo Giannis also came forward, put his arm on Wiggins' shoulder, and said, "My brother Andrew, don't be too arrogant on your US team. Besides, Zach, don't forget that I am also your opponent in the dunk contest."

"I'm sorry, buddy, we never regarded you as an opponent." At this time, another member of tomorrow's slam dunk contest, Oladipo of the US team also stepped up, stood in line with Xie Chen and LaVine, and provoked the international team.

The three of Anthony off the field couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene: "Look, this group of rookies, they started fighting before the game started, haha."

Just when the scene was full of jubilation and chaos, a woman wearing professional attire and holding a microphone appeared. She was a reporter from ESPN. As soon as she appeared, countless men on the scene looked at her.

I didn't expect Katie to come to the scene!

It's been so long since I saw her, but Katie is still so beautiful, and she has more charm of a mature woman than before.

Seeing Katie's appearance, Wade was stunned for a moment, then saw Xie Chen's stunned expression, and immediately dialed a phone: "Bring me the violin from my hotel, yes, Barclays Center Arena."

Previously, after Xie Chen and Wade bought the ukulele, Xie Chen followed Wade to the hotel where he was staying. Because Xie Chen lived at home, he temporarily put the violin at Wade's place. Neither of them knew that Katie would show up, and they both thought that this gift could not be given away. Since they were so lucky to meet here, Wade naturally wanted to help the brothers.

Xie Chen and Katie only made eye contact for a second. After that, Katie sat down with her colleagues to discuss work matters. Soon, the competition started, and Xie Chen didn't have the courage to talk to her. After all, her parents were still at the scene.

Wiggins and Antetokounmpo noticed Xie Chen's embarrassment and something was wrong at the same time, and they looked at each other with smirks. Xie Chen has something tonight, which may be affected, and this contest is about to happen!

Even if it was just a rookie game, they wanted to win against Xie Chen. After all, Xie Chen was the all-star vote leader!
Although this rookie game didn't receive much attention, it was the first dish of the All-Star feast anyway, so TV stations all over the world were broadcasting it, including CCTV, and the commentators Yang Jian and Zhang Weiping were at the Barclays Center Arena.

Yang Jian said: "Hello, audience friends. Director Zhang Weiping and I are broadcasting the NBA All-Star Rookie Game for you at the Barclays Center Arena. I would like to briefly introduce two points. This is a contest between the international team and the American team. It is divided into two halves, each half hour is 10 minutes, and there are three pauses in between. The familiar Xie Chen is assigned to the American team. Today’s All-Star rookie game, tomorrow will compete with Stephen Curry and Thompson for the championship of the three-point contest, and the day after tomorrow, there will be an All-Star game. Everyone will see him on TV for three consecutive days.”

Zhang Weiping was looking at Xie Chen who was in a daze at the moment, and also smiled and said: "That's right, to use a more popular saying now, this year's All-Star has been contracted by Xie Chen alone!"
