NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 353 Family Portrait!
Rookie Challenge.

On the World Team side, captain Wiggins (Timberwolves), and the rest are Bogdanovic (Nets), Capela (Rockets), Hezonia (Magic), Jokic (Nuggets), Mirotic (Bulls), Mudiay (Nuggets), Neto (Jazz), Porzingis (Knicks), Powell (Mavericks).

For the U.S. team, Captain Karl-Anthony Towns (Timberwolves), the remaining Clarkson (Lakers), Hood (Jazz), LaVine (Timberwolves), Noel (76ers), Okafor (76ers), Jabari Parker (Bucks), Smart (Celtics), Payton (Magic) and Russell (Lakers).

The lineups on both sides are similar. The United States has Towns, and the world team has Jokic and Porzingis. The collision inside will be very interesting.

After watching for a while, James asked Xu Xiang curiously, "How did you find out about that big Serbian man?"

There are rumors in the league that Jokic was dug out by Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang smiled casually, "It's all luck."

"." James smiled helplessly, luck?I'm afraid that's not the case, is it?

The rhythm of this year's rookie game is slightly faster than last year. The most important thing is that there is basically no defense on both sides.

The World Team started with two big centers. Jokic and Porzingis all played, but the inside melee that everyone wanted to see did not appear. All 10 people on the field were pulled out to shoot three-pointers.

Even LaVine is no exception.

This disappointed the fans.

However, the two sides scored a lot this year. The U.S. team relied on Towns' dunks and LaVine's assists to widen the gap in one fell swoop. The World Team lost the game by 148 points, 151 to 3.

LaVine 30+7 successfully scored the "MVP" of this rookie game, Wiggins cried and fainted in the toilet.

He was robbed by Xu Xiang last year, and this year he was robbed by his teammates.

"The future of the Wolves team is promising," Wade said in admiration. The three rookies that the Timberwolves played today are all very outstanding. If they grow up in a few years, it will be incredible.

Xu Xiang smiled contemptuously, "It is the group of people in Philadelphia in the east that can really look forward to the future. This group of top picks from the Timberwolves is still a lot worse than the Great Emperor and Xidi."

Wiggins' style of play is doomed that he will not become a superstar, it is too healthy.

According to him, he lost the shadow of dunks in high school, so now he dare not go straight to the basket when playing.

Some experts analyzed that if Wiggins increases his offense in the penalty area, then his achievements will definitely take a step up.

After watching the rookie game, many old fritters went back to their homes to find their mothers. Today's two games have ended, and overall it is quite enjoyable to watch.

Early the next morning, Xu Xiang received an official notification asking him to go to the arena for public training for the All-Star Game.

This is to increase the exposure of the media.

As soon as he entered the stadium, a staff member led him into the locker room to change clothes.

All the superstars in the east have already taken their positions in twos and threes. After seeing Xu Xiang, they all greeted Xu Xiang kindly.

This year's All-Star costumes are still mainly dark gray, the upper body is a round-neck jacket, the lower body is black pants, and the east and west are dressed the same.

Inside, the east is white and black, and the west is red and black.

It looks okay, the style of the jacket is a bit like the popular sports style in later generations.

The first thing today is to take a set photo of the family portrait.

There were no injuries in the West this year, but in the East, Butler first announced his injury, and then Bosh also announced his injury. Both of them will bid farewell to this All-Star Game.

Butler's position is topped by his teammate Gasol, and Bosh's position is topped by Paul Millsap.

Then the Eastern Conference's roster will be released, the starting five, Xu Xiang, Wade, Pickled Pepper, James, Anthony.

Substitutes include DeRozan, Lowry, Millsap, Dajia, Thomas Jr., Wall, and Zhuang Shen.

The western side is full of order, with Kobe leading the starting lineup, Curry, Westbrook, Kawhi, and Durant.

The substitutes are Harden, Thick Eyebrow, Adelaide, Clay, Green, Cousin, and Paul.

The stars gather!

After these old fritters got together, even though they played very fiercely on the court, they played very well off the court. For example, Xu Xiang was very happy no matter whether he was in the west or the east. Everyone talked and laughed while coming to the venue for taking pictures.

The eastern part was shot first, and Xu Xiang did not compete with Lao Zhan for the C position. Although he is the top voter in the eastern part, he is just a junior.

A second-year rookie.

He chose the position on the left side of Lao Zhan, Wade sat on the right side of Lao Zhan, Wall sat on the right side of Wade, and Lowry sat on the right side of Xu Xiang.

The people sitting in the first row are all outside players except for Lao Zhan.

Pickle chose a position on the edge of the back row, next to him was Jimmy Butler in a suit, Anthony stood between Old James and Wade, Dajia stood directly behind Old James, next to him were Zhuang Shen, DeRozan, Bosh and Millsap.

Lao Zhan holds the ball.

Xu Xiang took a special look. He was the second whitest among the 14, Dajia was the first, and the rest were third. Laughing and crying.

After filming in the east, it was the turn of the west, and there were only 4 positions in front of the west.

There is no doubt that Kobe sat in the C position with the ball, Curry sat opposite him, and Westbrook and Paul sat on both sides.

As if it had been discussed, the front rows on both sides were dominated by defenders, and the big men stood behind them uniformly.

If James is also a guard in the East, there should be 4 people this time.

After taking the photo, everyone was very happy. For the All-Star Game, just enjoy it. But when he was about to leave, Dajia suddenly grabbed everyone secretly, discussing something furtively in the locker room. Headed by Xu Xiang, everyone kept nodding in admiration. So, Curry in the west saw it. He came to find Xu Xiang to practice three-pointers.
In the end everyone joined except for Kobe.

Everyone is going to give Kobe a surprise.

After a busy morning, everyone made their collective appearance in front of the media for the first time.

This year's All-Star Game is really full of stars, basically all the giants in the league are present, and everyone knows that this year is Kobe's last All-Star Tour, so Kobe has the most media reporters in front of him today.

Next is James, followed by Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang has the most media from China in front of him. After all, he is the only seedling left in China.

Xu Xiang, Curry and others who are going to participate in the three-point contest still mainly shoot three-pointers, and the three-point contest will start in the afternoon.
