The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 211 A farce-like draft
The Sun's winning streak temporarily stopped.

It's not because they encountered a stumbling block. With the schedule of the sun, they still have a long way to go before the stumbling block comes...

Because, the All-Star Weekend is here.

This year's All-Star Weekend was held at the Magic's new home, the new Amway Center.

The opening speech was a farce-like celebrity game, composed of NBA legends, WNBA stars and popular entertainers, with a total of 15 people on the entry list.

The competition process was lackluster, after all, most of them were amateurs.

But the NBA has been shut down for so long, and it needs to expand its influence, and the ratings of the All-Star Weekend also need these traffic to heat up the stadium...

This year, Tu Man only recognizes "Penny" and the coaches of the two teams:
Warcraft is in the east, and Adu is in the west.

The biggest official on the field is Anne Duncan, who played at Harvard University from 1987 to 1991. He is an alumnus of Jeremy Lin and is currently the Secretary of the US Department of Education.

After watching for a long time, Tu Man discovered that the United States is actually a very powerful country. For example, the strongest player on the field is undoubtedly "Penny", but in fact, it is the old man who is the Minister of Education... …

Finally, the Secretary of Education, also surnamed Duncan, cut down:
17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals.

Under the leadership of the Minister of Education, the two teams played harmoniously and friendly. In the end, the Western team where the Minister of Education belongs won by 32 points:
86:54
Happy to everyone!

After this disgusting show of sycophancy, dinner was finally served.

first course:

Rookie Challenge.

The NBA is doing something again, changing this year's All-Star Weekend beyond recognition, including the Rookie Challenge and Slam Dunk Contest that Tu Man will participate in.

The changes in the Rookie Challenge can be called subversive. The classic confrontation between the first and second graders has been replaced by a mashup. The mixed teams of first graders and second graders are named "Team O'Neill" and "Team Barkley" respectively. Team".

It is said that the reason for this is that the start of the season was too hasty, the first-year rookies have not had time to adapt to the game, and more rookies have not yet entered the fans' vision.

NBA headquarters has two concerns:
First, I was afraid that the first grade would be too good and be beaten by the second grade.

Second, I am afraid that no one will watch the game. After all, I have only played more than 30 games. There are many rookies who are still struggling to survive in garbage time. Who will watch this kind of game?

So, just mix and match.

In fact, this is a blindfold. The purpose of the mix-and-match is to dilute the presence of the first grade and let the star players of the second grade fight each other, so as to attract the attention of the fans!
Earlier, in the NBA's official TV studio, two new teams were born.

O'Neill, who has joined TNT as a cutting-edge commentator, and Barkley, a senior golden microphone, were appointed as the general managers of the two mixed teams, and Kenny Smith was promoted to the honorary chairman of the two teams.

It's like playing house, everything is there!
They use the draft method to select 10 players they like from a shortlist provided by the NBA to form a team.

This list had been selected long ago, but a week before the draft, Jeremy Lin turned out to play a phenomenal game...

So, the CEO opened the back door again and put Jeremy Lin, the traffic prince, into the list.

During the live broadcast, the host repeatedly emphasized:
Such reforms increase the fun and fairness of the Rookie Challenge!
But what the NBA executives didn't expect was——

Fans have long believed that as long as Tu Man is on the list, there will be no fairness and fun in the Rookie Challenge...

No matter how tricks are played, one and only one team will win:

Bloody team!
Barkley and O'Neal saw it clearly.

So, something went wrong in determining who went first.

Both of them knew that no matter who chooses first, they will definitely choose Tuman, and no matter who chooses Tuman, it will be the finale, and the rest will choose an egg?

The two insisted on their own words and quarreled.

Neither wanting to guess coins nor rock-paper-scissors, the host really had no choice but to split Tu Man in half, so he had to say, why don't you just fight!
O'Neill immediately confessed:
"It is impossible to fight in a fight. I have never fought in my life..."

Barkley was triumphant:

"I'm good at fighting. Tuman is so good at fighting, so he should hang out with the general manager who is good at fighting. Let some meatballs envy..."

Then, the director notified David Stern's decision through the headset——

Guess the coin!
Now that the president has spoken, fighting is of course impossible.

Barkley was a little frustrated, his luck has always been bad, otherwise he wouldn't even miss a championship...

O'Neill smiled happily. On the basketball court, he is the emperor of Europe!

As a result, guess the coin Buckley won!
O'Neill wanted to retire on the spot. The European Emperor lost to the African Chiefs. You guys are too shameless!
What a fart if there is no Tuman?
Watching the team being abused by the opponent?

Don't even think about it, Ben Shark has never suffered such a crime in his life...

Later, Barkley winked at him for a while, because it was a live broadcast, he couldn't do it too obviously, but as an old media, he knows the NBA's beating nature too well!

O'Neill was thoughtful and quieted down.

With the first pick, Barkley really chose Tuman, which is a must.O'Neill chose Griffin, and there was nothing wrong with it.

With the second pick, Barkley chose Jeremy Lin. O'Neal was a little surprised, but he quickly pressed the question and chose Irving.

With the third overall pick, Barkley chose Tristan Thompson, and O'Neal was obviously a little confused. He was stunned for three seconds before choosing DeMarcus Cousins.

With the fourth overall pick, Barkley chose Marshawn Brooks and winked at O'Neal by the way. O'Neal understood and chose John Wall.

Fifth pick...

After the election, Barkley, who possessed a savagery, was certainly full of ambitions, and O'Neill finally smiled, because Sir Charles was too generous!

Let's take a look at the ten-man rosters of the two teams.

Barkley team:

Tuman, Jeremy Lin, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Knight, Marshan Brooks, Landry Fields, Kawhi Leonard, Derek Williams, Thiago S. Preet, Tristan Thompson
O'Neals: Kyrie Irving, John Wall, Kemba Walker, Evan Turner, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Blake Griffin, DeMarcus Cousins , Markieff Morris, Greg Monroe
Obviously, in order to make up for the huge gap brought by Tu Man, Barkley made a huge concession, except for Tu Man, he only chose some leftovers.

These three champions and the two players who have already made their names are all given to O'Neill!

Fatty, brother can only help you here...

If you are still struggling?
That's not the case!
