Chapter 61 Familiar and Strange Rookies

The Adidas advertisement took more than four hours, starting from ten o'clock and ending at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Alba's already tired forehead was dripping with sweat. Alba, who had changed into a dress in the dressing room, was about to take a break before calling her assistant. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the dressing room.

"May I come in?"

"Please!" Alba knew who it was when she heard the voice.Just as foreigners who speak Chinese well often have an accent, Chinese people can usually tell the difference when they speak English.

This is the voice of King Arthur.

"Hi, Jessica, how are you resting?" Wang Shipeng pushed open the door and walked in with a smile.

"It's not bad. Having said that, Arthur, your acting skills are not good. A 30-second commercial took four hours to shoot, and I convinced you."

Wang Shipeng scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that he, who has excellent acting skills on the court, would be so troublesome to shoot an advertisement, and he always couldn't meet the director's requirements.

After chatting for a while, Wang Shipeng asked, "Jessica, are you going to see the All-Stars?"

Alba was taken aback: "You want to ask me out?"

"No, no, that's right, Jessica, my girlfriend Qing Wu likes you very much, she knows that I know you, and wants to meet you very much." Seeing that Alba misunderstood, Wang Shipeng quickly explained.

"Well, of course I'll go back and watch. The All-Stars have settled in Los Angeles, and the Lakers have already sent us invitations."

"By the way, how are Kevin and Jaylen?" Alba asked quickly, remembering the two brothers who had gone to Chicago.

"They are very good. I arranged them in a junior high school with good basketball strength in Chicago. The head coach of the basketball team of that school was once the Bulls' backup point guard, and he learned triangle tactics from the Zen master Mr. Jackson. He is very good at training people."

Alba nodded in satisfaction, finally.She also accepted Wang Shipeng's invitation and promised to go to the scene to watch the Rookie Challenge.Although, she had planned to go too.

Time passed quickly, these two days Wang Shipeng kept spinning like a robot.Shooting commercials, participating in activities, warming up and training, I am extremely busy.And Yan Qingwu followed Ye Li to shop in Los Angeles, having fun as well.

On February 2004, 2, at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles, the 14 All-Star Rookie Challenge is about to begin.

And at this time, in the locker room of the first grade, Wang Shipeng looked depressed for a room full of teammates.

After entering the league for half a year, Wang Shipeng knows quite a few people.Kobe, O'Neal, Iverson, Reid, Ray Allen, Francis, Garnett, etc. have a good relationship with Wang Shipeng.

But Wang Shipeng didn't realize until today that he didn't seem to have any deep friendship with the future superstars who belonged to the 03 generation.

The 03 generation rookies selected for the rookie game include: LeBron James, Wang Shipeng, Cameron Anthony, Devin Wade, Darko Milicic, Chris Bosh, Kirk Hinrich, TJ Ford, Chris Kaman.

Among these people, not to mention conflicts with Hinrich, they also had conflicts with Kaman.When playing against the Clippers, facing Kaman's defense, Wang Shipeng tried to block the dunk, but was pulled down by Kaman's dribbling.

Fortunately, Kaman only wanted to prevent Wang Shipeng from dunking but did not want to have a conflict, so he did not directly throw Wang Shipeng to the ground, but put him firmly on the ground.

However, he was hugged by a burly man who was more than two meters and one meter tall, and put him on the ground.It's embarrassing, okay? This handsome guy also needs to save face, okay?

Chris Bosh, the superstar of the 03 generation who first met, is still working as the number one half-human, half-god boy in the cold Toronto.

Wang Shipeng was most surprised by Milicic's selection. You must know that this is the 03 generation. It is unacceptable that a big man with an average playing time of only more than five minutes per game was selected for the rookie game.

This is not very cooked.

Coupled with James and Anthony, from the summer league to the preseason to the regular season, James and Anthony, especially James, have been persistently confronting Wang Shipeng, and the relationship is not much better.

As for Wade and Ford, Wade has never offended, but Wade and James have a very good relationship, so naturally they will not pretend to be James' competitors.As for Ford, he fell to the ninth overall pick and was selected by the Knicks, and he has no contact with himself so far.

Only then did Wang Shipeng suddenly realize that among the rookies of the same grade, he didn't even have a friend to talk to. Although these rookies were very familiar to him, they were very strange. This feeling was really amazing.

As for the head coach of the rookie game, they are the assistants of the head coaches of the East and West All-Star games.The assistant coach of the East is the assistant coach William Pique of the New Jersey Nets.

"Kids, let's have fun!" Pique is rumored to be of British aristocratic blood. Wang Shipeng didn't know whether he was expensive or not, but this guy is really handsome. The old man who is almost 40 years old looks more stylish than the young man.

The old handsome Pique is obviously not interested in coaching the rookie team well.It's just a show after all, isn't it?Even if the team has several superstars destined to enter the Hall of Fame in the future, Peake doesn't think the rookie team has the ability to beat the sophomore team.

Wang Shipeng smiled regretfully, it seemed that even the coach didn't plan to find a way to counterattack.A bunch of unmotivated guys.

"Okay, boys, the time is almost up, let me announce our starting lineup: center Chris, power forward Melo, small forward LeBron, shooting guard Arthur, point guard Devin." William posed The strongest lineup in his hands.

At this time, on the sophomore side, Minnesota assistant coach Darren Fox is also announcing their starting lineup: center Yao, power forward Amare, small forward Prince, shooting guard Caron Butler, point guard Manu Ginobili.

Both teams are star-studded. In comparison, the second-year team with future Malone successor Carlos Boozer on the bench looks stronger than the first-year team.

But Wang Shipeng didn't intend to hand in his gun just like that. He just made a bet with Yao Ming last night.The bet is on who will win the rookie competition. Although it seems that it is not easy to counterattack, how will you know if you don't try.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally, the game was about to start.Yao Ming and Bosh have already stood in the midfield and are ready to jump the ball.Compared with Bosh, who is full of energy, Yao Ming is quite tired.

"Damn it, you shouldn't have played the game so late yesterday. Why did Stern insist on us participating in the rookie game?" Yao Ming muttered as he settled his posture.Yes, in view of the precedent of Yao Ming, who was directly selected for the All-Star game last year, giving up the rookie game, in order to prevent Wang Shipeng from following the example, the league issued Yao Ming's rule: that is, players selected for the All-Star game must not give up the rookie game.
The referee kicks off and the game begins.Yao Ming got the ball for the first attack.Point guard Manu Ginobili advanced very quickly with the ball and reached the attacking position in almost seconds.

The curtain is about to open.
