On February 23, the Spring Festival, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, Anjie was greeted not by the lively fireworks after the New Year's Eve, but by the strong flashes of light that blinded the reporters outside Orlando International Airport. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The All-Star Game is like the Spring Festival Gala, no matter how the fans scold, they still can't stop watching it. Although this year's All-Star has been labeled as "chicken help", "boring" and so on, when Anjie walked out of the airport, fans and reporters still filled the hall.

"Look at Ann, these guys are here for us!" Aldridge is a '06 roster, but this is the first time he has been named to the All-Star Game. Because of this, he and Anjie became the 15th and 16th players selected for the All-Star Game in the 42-year history of the Trail Blazers.

Before that, the Trail Blazers had someone named to the All-Star team, and we had to go back to Brandon Roy in 2010. However, when Anjie landed in the Tear City, the Trail Blazers' market doubled, and the attention was very different from what it used to be. With An Jie by his side, Aldridge, who was already performing well, finally entered people's field of vision.

The All-Star atmosphere in Orlando is not very strong, at least compared to the Phoenix All-Stars and Dallas All-Stars that Anjie participated in before, this All-Star in Orlando really has to be described as tepid.

There are not a few huge posters, but there are a lot more rugby games. Even David Stern is constantly reinventing the All-Star Game to make the game reinvigorate. However, as it stands, the transformation of the alliance may not be a success.

But in any case, the All-Star Game is always a repertoire that cannot be shaken. The rules of this competition will never change. Anjie and Aldridge are here for this most important competition.

Nowadays, the slam dunk contest is already participated by a group of young people who can't name it. The three-point contest and the skills challenge are mixed. The rookie game is barely enough. Only the All-Star Game is still real and worthy of the name All-Star.

Before All-Star Weekend officially began, everyone from East and West had to get together for a series of photos for the NBA's official show.

Aldridge, who wore an All-Star Game uniform for the first time, was very excited, but because of his personality, he didn't know how to express it. So I could only take crazy selfies, and posted them on my FaceBook, and also posted a series of exclamation points. But An Jie doesn't have time to take selfies now. There are so many old friends on this shooting set that he needs to go and say hello.

"Don't come unharmed, my big tall man!" Durant and Westbrook laughed as they walked towards Angel, and the three of them gave each other a hug as soon as they met. It felt as if Angel still belonged to Oklahoma.

"How's it going, you know, I don't have time to watch your games. Without me, you and Russell's iron counts are unimpressive. Even if An Jie expressed concern, he did not forget to hurt his two old friends.

"26-7, first in the West! I looked, are the Trail Blazers third or fourth?" Westbrook was also unceremonious, and immediately counterattacked.

"Cut, if I hadn't had a few games I didn't want to play, we would have been first in the West. Isn't it just three more wins than us, have you forgotten how I chased the victory back then? Three games is not a gap at all. An Jie replied angrily.

"Remember, how not remember. We fucking went all the way from tenth to eighth, and we took out the sun and jazz. If it weren't for the big shark guy coming out to mess around, we would have made the playoffs a long time ago. I remember Ann, I remember both. So, don't expect us to take it lightly. Dealing with a guy like you should never be taken lightly. "It's been three years, but Durant has become a real superstar and has achieved a lot. However, he still hasn't forgotten that in those years, it was still the days when the three of them struggled together one by one in the rookie period.

"Haha, I thought you all forgot. An Jie smiled, but his expression was not very relaxed. Although he had a good time with the Trail Blazers, do you think he can forget about Oklahoma and the blue and white lightning of the Thunder? No, no, he remembers everything that happened in Oklahoma, and remembers the time he spent fighting with the Thunder. He also remembers the heart-rending pain of learning that he was going to be traded.

"What about that boy Maurice, how did you leave him behind. Anjie thought that Morris would also be selected for the All-Star Game with Durant and Westbrook, but when the bench list was announced, Anjie still did not see Morris.

"The guy said he didn't want to kick your ass at the All-Star Game, sell you face, and give you a chance to perform. So he gives you the stage and tells you to grasp it well. Durant conveyed Morris's original words, in fact, Morris really has the strength of an All-Star, but his defense-oriented style of play makes him never the most dazzling guy. So as one of the keys to the Thunder, he is often overlooked.

"Haha, that kid. Come on, fight to hold the first place in the West. That way, we won't meet in the playoffs too soon. "An Jie is not afraid of thunder, but he doesn't want to be the enemy of his former friend.

"Don't worry about us, you better think about whether you will fall to eighth. ”

"Russell, you guy, you wait for me!"

"Hahaha, Ann, you can't scare me. Ahh......h Let go of me, it's tickling me......"

If it weren't for the Western Conference Stars jersey, Durant would have thought he had traveled back in time.

After a short fight, the photographer finally arrived. First of all, it was the East and West All-Star teams who took a big group photo.

On the east side, James sat in the middle of the first row, while Wade and Anthony, the two strongest people in the 03 generation besides James, sat on either side. The others, all of them, stood behind.

And on the Western side, the "boss" sitting in the middle holding a basketball is naturally Kobe Bryant. And the people sitting on both sides, one is Durant and the other is Anjie. As the two fastest-improving and highest-rising youngsters in the West, Anjie and Durant have become indispensable key forces in their respective teams. The two of them even became the existence of changing the situation in the west. Therefore, the position of being on an equal footing with Kobe Bryant was handed over to the two brothers.

Aldridge stood on the outermost shy face of the camera, playing in the NBA for 6 years, and now, he has finally fulfilled his All-Star dream. Subsequently, the photographer commanded the Heat triumvirate wearing All-Star Game jerseys to take a group photo, and the Heat team also became the team with the most selected players in this All-Star Game.

"Now, ask Ann, Durant, and Westbrook to come up and take a picture. But when the photographer read the next set of names, everyone turned their heads in surprise. They thought that the next group of people to take pictures would be Kobe and Bynum, but unexpectedly, the photographer actually called three guys who did not play for the same team.

"And, Coach Jeff Van Gundy, please call him. The photographer whispered to his assistant, who ran out of the studio and found Van Gundy, who was attending Jialianhua next door.

Last year, because of An Jie's injury. Jeff Van Gundy gave up his position as coach of the Western Stars just to be able to spend a few days with Anjie.

This year, the position was won by Van Gundy, who had an excellent palmares. But this time, he was able to meet An Jie at the All-Star Game.

Seeing that the photographer is so staffed, all the players know what he wants to do. Taking a group photo of the former Thunder Sanshao and Van Gundy must have a very good publicity effect. Feelings have become the standard for many people to pay.

"Uh...... What should I do?" An Jie embarrassedly walked forward with a basketball, he was the only "outsider" among the four, and An Jie always felt a little embarrassed to take a photo with them.

"Relax, we've taken countless photos like this. Until Jeff Van Gundy smiled at himself and patted himself on the back. An Jie felt that he was so calm and natural.

Finally, Jeff Van Gundy sat in the middle with a basketball in his arms. Behind him, there are Thunder Sanshao who are standing together with their hands on their chests. Of course, it was the former Thunder Three Less. The big, yellow-skinned man standing next to Durant now has become a hero in another city. No matter how good his performance is, he has nothing to do with Oklahoma.

At one time, the three men behind Van Gundy were still wearing white jerseys. The photo of them would appear in the sports media at a time when it was assumed that the group would dominate the league for the next five years.

Now, the three of them are still wearing the same jerseys, the difference is that Van Gundy's hair is getting less and less, and An Jie's heart has long since flown from Oklahoma to the City of Tears.

After this set of photos, the photographer called Kobe and Bynum, Paul and Griffin, and even Anjie and Aldridge, all pushed to the back. In the East, there is the Heat Dream Three, and in the West, there is a Thunder Three Lesser who has brought fans countless fantasy games.

An Jie didn't expect that such a simple official promotional photo shooting activity would make him feel emotional. He remembered his first year in the NBA, when he, along with Durant and Westbrook, went to Phoenix for the All-Star Game.

Back then, they would be amazed by a huge poster about themselves. Back then, even when they got off the plane, only a few reporters went to shoot themselves. Back then, they were full of infinite possibilities!

But now, the group can only use All-Star Weekend to get back together to play.

Let Anjie put aside the dense regular season for the time being and enjoy this extraordinary All-Star weekend.

Competing with new and old teammates, just thinking about it, An Jie felt that he was already very excited.
