Chapter 212 The All-Star Weekend Arrives

Lin Day went to Dallas with Stephen Curry, Steve Nash and head coach Gentry.

On the way from the Dallas airport to the officially booked hotel, you can clearly feel the breath of the All-Star Weekend approaching.

Various posters about the All-Star Weekend can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, and these players who entered the All-Star lineup can also see their customized posters floating everywhere.

Of course, there are photos of Lin Ri.

Moreover, Lin Ri, who is the "Voting King", has a very large number of posters.

In addition, Steve Nash also saw his poster, which made him a little embarrassed.

After leaving Dallas in 04, although Dallas fans continued to criticize Mark Cuban for a long time, it was also "the family closed the door to deal with things", but they were not so polite to Steve Nash who left. Every time Steve Nash played away games, he was booed endlessly, and there was no trace of him in this arena, as if he had never been in this city.

Fans desperately want to erase traces related to a certain player, what else can this explain?Apart from the fact that they still can't let go of Steve Nash's departure, what else can it explain?

As for Steve Nash, although he is recognized as "good tempered", it doesn't mean that he won't have grudges in his heart!

Steve Nash still minds this matter very much.

In his opinion, it's not that he doesn't want to stay in Dallas, but that Mark Cuban doesn't give him enough respect. It's a pity that these words are explained to Dallas fans. Will they listen?Obviously not.

Under such circumstances, all he can do is continue to "slap in the face".

No one knows, that's why he chose to play the skill challenge again!
He hopes to win the skills challenge again in front of the Dallas fans. Since you are not willing to forgive me, all I can do is to make you feel even more aggrieved!

He came to Dallas with such an idea, but at this moment, looking at his poster floating outside the car window, Steve Nash felt somewhat embarrassed in his heart.

His memories were brought back six or seven years ago, when he was also the city's darling...

When Lin Ri and his party arrived at the hotel to stay, some stars had already arrived.

For example, the last game was Derrick Rose of the Bulls who played against the Mavericks. He simply didn't go back to Chicago with the team, but stayed in the hotel officially designated for him.

At the moment, he was resting in the lobby downstairs, discussing where to go with Terek Evans, saw Lin Ri and the others entering the hotel, got up and greeted Lin Ri and the others one after another, and of course it was just a greeting, after all, these two people had "vengeance" with Lin Ri.

Lin Ri nodded in response, and then went to the room. He and Stephen Curry lived in the same room, which was specially requested by them. They planned to go shopping together later, eat and live together, so it would be more convenient for them to do everything. Steve Nash asked Gentry for a room alone.

After cleaning up, Lin Ri went to Steve Nash's room with Stephen Curry. Knowing that Nowitzki was already waiting for Steve Nash below, they gave up the idea of ​​calling him to hang out together.

The "couple" made it clear that they were going to reconnect with each other, and it would be unreasonable for the two of them to go along, so they had better play by themselves.

Dallas is known as the "Cowboy Capital". The atmosphere here is very strong related to sports. There are not only the Dallas Mavericks here, but also the Dallas Cowboys, the giants of the football league...

It is worth mentioning that Dallas' ability to host the NBA's All-Star Weekend this year has a lot to do with the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

An era in ten years!
This is the first year of the second decade of the 21st century. For this All-Star Weekend, many cities are determined to win, so Mark Cuban went to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Rich, and asked him to use the newly built football stadium "Rich's World" as the venue for the All-Star Game.

This is a venue that can accommodate [-] fans to watch the game together!

And this is the first time it has held a formal competition after its completion... Need I say more about the power of this hole card?It's so powerful that the officials immediately agreed to put the first All-Star Weekend in Dallas in the second time of the 21st century.

The purpose of Lin Ri and Stephen Curry's trip is to see this legendary "Rich's World"!
"I'll go, are you going to play here then? Isn't this great?"

"The sun, you look at the big screen, to be honest, I feel like I have really entered another world!"

"I also seem to play here once, what should I do!"

After half an hour.

They came to this "Ricky's World", and from Stephen Curry's reaction, it is not difficult to see how much this arena shocked him!
Although Lin Ri was not as shocked as Stephen Curry, with all kinds of words in his mouth, his expression was somewhat dull.

The arena with [-] seats can be so big. Although he didn't stand on the court to feel it, he took a look at it, and when he thought about the dark heads and the eyes gathered by the dark heads, he immediately had a feeling that he couldn't wait for the All-Star Game to leave and start.

So he knows why Stephen Curry is so eager to play in this arena.

He felt it right now!
After watching this arena that was destined to become a landmark building in Dallas, Lin Ri and Stephen Curry returned to the hotel. When they returned, the hotel was visibly bustling. Players and stars from all walks of life who participated in the All-Star Weekend had already arrived at the hotel. When Lin Ri and Stephen Curry entered, they happened to see Dwyane Wade and LeBron James going out.

"Hey, the sun, what a coincidence, I just asked the front desk for your room number, where did you go?"

Wade was as enthusiastic as ever.

LeBron James looked at Lin Ri vigilantly. Although he greeted him, his reaction was not good, especially compared with Wade next to him, he seemed a little cold.

Also, this year LeBron James can be said to be full of ambitions for the championship. Now Lin Ri is very likely to threaten him to win the championship. How could he have such a good attitude?
It's not that I don't want to make this friend, but that I can't do it this year...

Lin Ri still didn't mind LeBron James' attitude. He hugged Wade and followed Stephen Curry to find Gentry.

After Gentry arrived at the hotel today, he didn't do anything. He slept all afternoon and just woke up now-and this is a very rare leisure time for him.

The NBA head coach is a position looking at the scenery.

Only when you sit in this position will you know how complicated things are in this position!
Not to mention other things, just to arrange the offensive and defensive tactics. Based on the progress of a game every two days, one of the nights, he must not be able to sleep until early in the morning, otherwise the tactics will not be able to be arranged at all.

And that's just tactical.

As for other training plans for rookies, there are also a series of lineup issues.

In addition, you have to talk to the players in the team from time to time to understand their thoughts... These alone are enough for a head coach to suffer.In addition to these things, the head coach still has a lot of cumbersome things that need to be done in the past. In short, the work of the head coach is really time-consuming and energy-consuming. It is really not an easy thing to get such an afternoon without thinking about anything.

All-Star Weekend is really great!
Gentry is even happier when he thinks that there are at least three days left before such a time.

Although he needs to be the head coach on the sidelines for the All-Star Game, he knows everything about the All-Star Game. Is there any difference between a head coach and a mascot?

Just look at the situation on the court and arrange for the stars to make their appearances one by one!
Don't make this life easy!

The three of them finished their meal and went to the commercial street next to the hotel, but they didn't have much time to play. They returned to the hotel after 9:[-] pm. Lin Ri and Stephen Curry will play the Rookie Challenge tomorrow. Lin Ri still wants to win this game, so they have to rest well.

……

Finally, the first day of the All-Star Weekend has officially arrived, amidst much anticipation.

The Aero Arena, home of the Dallas Mavericks, was packed tonight as usual.

Dallas people's love for sports events is unquestionable, which also makes Dallas's sports events not lack of ratings, not to mention NBA's signature events like the All-Star Weekend. As soon as the tickets went on sale, Dallas people snatched most of the tickets.

From here, we can see the enthusiasm of Dallas fans for the All-Star Weekend.

Of course, this is a bit unfriendly to fans from other cities who want to come to Dallas to watch the game.

The enthusiasm of Dallas fans prevented many fans who wanted to come to Dallas to watch the game and failed to buy tickets as they wished.

Fortunately, the tickets for the first and second days of the All-Star Weekend were not available, and many non-Dallas fans did grab tickets for the All-Star Game on the third day.

Anyway, 10 tickets!
As for the All-Star Game, it was also the finale of the All-Star Weekend. To catch up with such a game, if you really want to say it, it's not a loss!
However, if you really want to say it, at this time, reporters, NBA players and some celebrities will be thankful that they are related to this event.

Because they can appear on the sidelines to watch the game at any time.

There are two events in the first week of the All-Star Weekend, starting with the Celebrity Game and then the Rookie Challenge.

To be honest, these two events are not very eye-catching. At least most fans who like to watch the NBA only see the three major challenge events and the All-Star Game.

As for the rookie challenge, let's put it this way, dogs don't even watch it!
This year's Masters Game is still the same as in previous years. Fans of participating stars may watch this game, but the overall heated discussion is not very loud.

However, this year's Rookie Challenge is much hotter than in previous years.

It's no wonder that this year's Rookie Challenge has a "Voting King". Does the influence of a "Voting King" need to be said?
Hearing the cheers about Lin Ri from the scene, one can clearly realize that this is a rookie challenge game that many fans are paying attention to.

So much so that at the beginning of the Masters Tournament, the atmosphere on the scene was not strong, but when the Masters Tournament was about to end, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly rose again, which made the group of people playing on the court feel a little baffled...

What, you want us to end like that?

Is our basketball not round?Or are we not good looking?
They were very upset, but 15 minutes later, when Lin Ri came on the court, amidst the huge cheers from the audience, they also had to say in a slightly sour tone: "Well, it's incomparable, it's really incomparable..."

This popularity is really too high!

Along with Lin Day, Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, DeRozan and Hansbrough played together.

From the lineup, we can actually see what is missing in the 09 session...

Although everyone in the 09 class has proved with practical actions that even without Lin Ri, the 09 class is still a group of young talents. It’s just that they have made a name for themselves this year.

Compared with them, in the 08 class, it is obvious that there are people who can stand out in various positions. Derrick Rose is at the first position, Westbrook is at the second position, Gallinari is at the third position, Kevin Love is at the fourth position, and Lopez is at the fifth position. Together, these guys can form a starter that can solve at least half of the teams in the league!
Of course, this is also normal. The five guys in the 08 class are indeed very important components in each team. Kevin Love, Westbrook, and Derrick Rose are still the absolute core of the team in the future. With such a group of people gathered together, can this lineup not be strong?

"OK, guys, get ready to play, I think I've said all I need to say, this game, it's time for everyone to know how awesome we are!"

Before the game officially started, Lin Ri shouted at the crowd.

After he finished speaking, the eyes of these guys also became serious.

I don’t know if God wants Lin Ri to get rewards for system tasks. Before the start of this rookie challenge, ESPN suddenly ran out a group of experts to make predictions for this rookie challenge. They all thought that the 08 session would easily kill the 09th session.

These reasons are indeed tenable, but the problem is that the difference in the number of votes is too great...Only 2 experts think that the 09 session will win, and the other 28 experts think that the 09 session will lose...

This immediately stimulated the self-esteem of the 09 players!
