NBA villain

Chapter 599
In the rookie challenge, the second-year team beat the first-year players 155 to 114.

Yi Jianlian played as the starting first-year power forward and scored 8 points and 2 rebounds.

Chris Paul scored 17 points, 16 assists and 9 steals in a quasi-triple-double, and won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

The moment Paul stood on the podium, Yang Di, James, and Wade stood up and applauded.

The camera swept across the three of them with the same expressions.

Danny Granger scored 22 points, Monta Ellis also scored 29 points, but unfortunately, Paul's data is more comprehensive and better-looking, and it is reasonable to lose to Paul.

Yang Di noticed that Chris Paul has entered the S-level. Since entering the league last year, Paul has improved rapidly. If this continues, next season, the league will have another super giant.

This night in North America is also the morning of February 2 in China.

Yang Di made a long-distance call to his family and wished his parents, siblings and younger siblings a happy new year, wishing them auspicious Year of the Pig.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival, and it is also the most important festival in Yang Di's mind. The longer he stays abroad, the more he values ​​this bond of family and friendship.

The second event of the All-Star weekend is the traditional Saturday night.

In the evening of the day, there will be a Mixed Challenge, a Skills Challenge, a Three Point Contest and a Slam Dunk Contest.

If the Rookie Challenge is just an appetizer, Saturday night is a big dish. On this night, the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend is gradually reaching its climax, and the attention is several levels higher than yesterday.

Especially the slam dunk contest. Although there is no good slam dunk contest after Carter has been complaining about it, every slam dunk contest is still the focus.

In the end, the Detroit Pistons won the Mixed Contest. Wade defended his title in the skill round. Kapono was upset in the three-point round and won the championship with a monster score of 24 points. Gerald- Green took it away, Green's jumping ability is amazing, and the beauty of staying in the air and dunking is also top-notch in the world, which shocked many people.

The night of February 2 was the night of the 19 All-Star Game.

The arena prepared in Las Vegas attracted some celebrities from the entertainment industry in the United States to add to the fun, and the organizer specially held a red carpet ceremony for these celebrities.Former NBA star Barkley was also invited to serve as a welcoming guest at the entrance of the Thomas and Mark Center.For this reason, Barkley had to leave the gambling table for a while, and went to the gate of the arena to pay tribute to celebrities from all walks of life who walked through the red carpet, and gave them hugs.

Because it happened to coincide with the Spring Festival, there were not many Chinese stars who came to Las Vegas to participate in the All-Star Game this time. There were very few Chinese faces on the red carpet.

Fortunately, the fans mainly look at the performance of Yang Di and Yao Ming.

All-Star Eastern Conference lineup, starting: Arenas, Wade, James, Bosh, O'Neal.The substitutes are Billups, Hamilton, Carter, Kidd, Caron Butler, Jermaine O'Neal, Dwight Howard, a total of 12 people.Western All-Star lineup, starting: Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Yang Di, Nowitzki, Yao Ming.The substitutes are Nash, Iverson, Ray Allen, Anthony, Duncan, Garnett, Stoudemire.

Boozer took to social media to rant about what he thinks he deserves to be in the All-Star Game.

Just two days before the All-Star Game, he made a game-winning shot and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East. The Jazz's record of 34 wins and 18 losses was tied with the Rockets. Rebounds, shooting as high as 21.7%, able to open 11.3-56.1 with veteran power forwards such as Garnett and Duncan.

But obviously, in the final selection, he was still lost.

It should be said that the entire Jazz team is a team that is easy to be left behind. Although they have emerged this season and are no slower than the Rockets, everyone is staring at the Rockets. They don't remember that there is a monster in Salt Lake City.

Sloan has rebuilt a new pick-and-roll team, and under his guidance, Deron and Boozer have gradually reached the peak of their careers.

In terms of star composition, some new faces have been promoted in the Eastern Conference, such as Caron Butler and Dwight Howard.

Howard was very excited, following his big brother O'Neill to play pranks everywhere, and hoped to become a representative of the new generation of funny games, with a strong spirit of entertainment.

Such a cheerful personality like a big boy has won him the recognition of many fans after this All-Star Game.

The performances before the game were very rich. The casino first invited two magic masters Siegfried and Roy to welcome all the audience and guests who came to the NBA All-Star Game, and then it was the turn of "Mr. Las Vegas" Known Newton came on stage to sing, welcome all NBA stars.

But it's a pity that there are more than a dozen Las Vegas show girls wearing long red feathers and gorgeous costumes next to Newton, which attracts the attention of these wolf-like NBA stars.

The party reached its climax when the starters and substitutes were introduced in turn.

Then the lights came on, reflecting the light on the clean floor, the red jerseys for the West Stars and the blue jerseys for the East Stars.

Yao Ming and O'Neal stood in the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball.

O'Neal had an idea and pulled Arenas to the middle circle. Yao Ming understood, laughed "haha", stepped aside, and stood in front of Arenas for Kobe, and the two guards began to jump the ball.

But even if they are both guards, Kobe is much taller than Arenas. On this point, Arenas is really not prepared to compete with Kobe. He is known as Peter Pan.

Kobe smiled triumphantly, beat Arenas, and won the first wave of ball rights for the Western Stars.

After Yang Di got the basketball, he didn't pass it to McGrady. He dribbled the ball and pushed forward. In front of him were a bunch of the strongest players in the NBA, and the game officially started.

CCTV5 invited Yi Jianlian as the guest commentator on the scene, and Cai Nan and Yu Jia also arrived at the scene.

Yu Jia said with a smile: "As far as I know, the 2008 All-Star Game will be held in New Orleans, which was hit by the hurricane."

"That's right, but Las Vegas is the capital of entertainment, and the players seem to prefer to hold the All-Star Game in this city." Cai Nan nodded, still explaining with his explosive speech: "Accept During the interview, Hamilton put it more directly, he said, "If the All-Star Game cannot be held in Las Vegas every year, then they, that is, the official NBA, will hold it here at least every two years. ""

"This is a very high evaluation for Las Vegas." Yu Jia commented briefly.

Cai Nan said: "That's right, what we saw before, the mayor of Las Vegas and the president of the NBA, David Stern, sat together. There are reports in the United States that Las Vegas may usher in a An NBA team that belongs to this city."

Yi Jianlian was stunned when he heard the news, he had never heard of these news himself.
