NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 344 Becoming a Big Brother

The Suns still have a game the day before the All-Star weekend, so Russell and his teammates won New Orleans.

Of course, Nora was also there, and most of the others brought their families.

The All-Star Weekend is one of the rare times during the regular season where you can relax. It is hard to justify not spending more time with your family at this time.

New Orleans is not a very good tourist destination, but the food is influenced by all over the world. There are some special things that you can try.

Of course it's not grilled wings or anything. They have spicy crayfish here, which is considered to be a relatively spicy food in the United States.

Now is the season, you can still get a little taste to relieve the cold weather.

Of course, New Orleans is not a cold place in the United States. The weather is good at this time, and it is also a benefit of the All-Star Weekend.

After taking his fiancée for a day, Russell went to participate in fan interaction activities.

So many fans like him, Russell still has to do something to give back to them.

Some players find it tiring, while others like it very much. Individual personalities are different.

Russell thinks it's okay, everyone can relax by laughing and laughing together.

Of course, this has to be grasped to a degree. The All-Star Weekend still needs some private relaxation time.

Masters show Russell has no past, these things have little appeal to him.

But this rookie game, he will still actively participate, after all, there are two teammates.

This time, because of the Arab League, there are more Chinese media, and Dayao is also here.

Russell said to Durant and Millsap: "I see who among you can get the MVP of the rookie game. You are the starters of the strongest team in the league. Don't lose the chain."

Seeing that the two were nervous, Russell laughed, "Of course, the main thing is to have fun."

The rookie game is mainly for fun, only a few players have a sense of competition, and because of fame, only a few players can show this sense of competition.

Because it is impossible to grasp the speed, the rookie competition is not interesting to be honest.

However, Durant and Millsap are participating for the first time, so they still pay more attention to it.

Before Russell spoke, they had some plans in their hearts. Back then, Russell was omnipotent in the rookie game, and they also wanted to perform better and pay tribute to the boss of the team.

They are not the only ones who have the same idea. The team bosses who are eligible to participate in the All-Star game basically bring their younger brothers. They all want to show themselves in front of the team boss.

If you think that the All-Stars are really just for fun, you will be blinded.

Huaxia players are like that, they don't have much fun playing, but they don't dare to take it seriously.

In fact, competitive sports are all about competing, whether it's normal times or the All-Star Weekend, only then will there be performance.

The appearance of Russell brought a small change to this All-Star rookie game.

Durant must be the absolute core of the first grade, but Millsap was nothing, but this time he became the starter. If the Suns' starter can't be the starter in the rookie game, no one can justify it.

At the beginning of the game, the second-year team completely overwhelmed the first-year team.

Durant is great, but his teammates are a little hip, and of the other four, only Horford is more reliable.

In fact, it is mainly a matter of experience. First-year players are often reluctant to let go.

Russell, Dayao and others sat together, watching the performance of the young people on the field, laughing and chatting endlessly.

In this rookie game, there is no player who can overwhelm the audience. Durant is still a little green at this time. Unlike some players, entering the league feels like I am number one in the world.

Russell's side is okay, while Dayao's teammate Scola can't adapt to the rhythm of the rookie game and basically can't get the ball.

Ah Lian had some opportunities after he went up, but like Dayao, he didn't know how to behave.

In fact, he shouldn't learn from Dayao's experience, otherwise he can still play better with his physical fitness.

Dayao is too indisputable, that is to say, he has enough strength, otherwise he wouldn't be so good.

But if he is stronger, he can actually live better.

Millsap was originally relatively low-key, because he was not a man of the hour when he was drafted, but with his experience in the Suns and Russell's support on the court, he completely let go.

Of course, Gibson of the second-year team is the most open.

When he came off the bench, he played like a star. He frequently interacted with James on the sidelines and showed favor to the team boss.

There is no doubt that as long as he hugs James' thigh, he can live well in the Cavaliers.

Russell said to Dayao: "This is the correct way to play in the All-Star Game."

However, Gibson is a guard, and he still has some advantages over other positions that require guards to pass the ball.

But if the forwards and inside players actively ask for the ball, many young guards will definitely pass it, or get the rebound and do it themselves. If you want to perform, you have to be more independent.

After entering the rotation, the first-year team played better.

Navarro, Sean Williams and Moon all played more aggressively.

It's just that the head coach of the first-year team is an undercover agent, and players who play well don't have so many opportunities.

Russell wondered if he was going to be the head coach of the rookie game in the future, but after thinking about it, it was meaningless, and it was not necessary in his position.

The two teams played inextricably in the first quarter, but the second-year team took the lead in the second quarter.

In the second half, the two teams were a little bit depressed, the defense became less and less, and the second-year team also led more.

Durant scored a lot of points, but the score gap was not narrowed at all.

Durant is also a little depressed. The group of naive teammates in the rookie game is much worse than that of the Suns.

But the guy in the other team who was showing off was his senior, which made him feel a little better.

In the last grade, there was still no suspense to lose. The game was really not very interesting.

Millsap looked very happy with a civilian double-double.

"We won the game." He came over and flexed his muscles.

Durant was a little sour, "I just want to give my senior some face, and your performance is not good, but I scored 30 points. Next year, I will definitely take revenge."

Millsap froze for a moment, then said, "I won't be coming next year."

Durant thought so too, and Russell burst out laughing at the silly conversation between the two. He patted Durant on the shoulder and said, "Kevin, you're going to the race next year, so set your goals higher."

With the affirmation of the boss, Durant became proud again.

This time it's Millsap's turn to be upset. The guy in front of him is a player that Russell is optimistic about. His current scoring average is not bad. There is a real possibility of the All-Star Game next year, and he probably won't have that kind of opportunity.

Seeing Millsap's loss, Russell also said to him: "As long as you keep working hard, you can go to the main game one day. The players I selected cannot be ordinary."

Having said that, both of them became happy, and they didn't care about the MVP of the rookie game anymore.
