Hot, desert, and dry, this was the first impression that Phoenix gave to Anjie after he got off the plane. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are not many houses near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, but large areas of sand are bare and exposed to the warm sun. Yes, it's warm, it's February, and Angela has to wear a down jacket in Oklahoma City, but in Phoenix, an ordinary knit sweater is enough for the "winter" here. With an average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, the climate is suitable for winter, which is why many people want to live in Phoenix.

When you enter the city by car, even the street greenery in the city is mostly plants that can only grow in the desert. The whole city feels like it's in the middle of the desert.

But Phoenix is also the largest city in Arizona and the sixth largest in the United States, and even though it sits on the banks of a desolate and dry salt lake, the city still shows its prosperity.

Huge posters on tall buildings, high-definition logos on buses, and promotions in various stores, the whole of Phoenix is already in a frenzied all-star atmosphere.

"Hey, that's not us. Anjie, who was in the taxi, pointed to a poster on the building and said to Durant and Westbrook. On the poster is a full-body photo of the players who were selected for this year's Rookie Challenge. Durant is in the middle of the sophomore team, and Anjie and Westbrook are in the middle of the first-year team.

The Thunder are the team with the largest number of players selected for the Rookie Challenge, and all three potential rookies have been recognized by fans, including Durant and Anjie, who even became direct starters.

It's a pity that Westbrook can't brush up on data in Memphis like O.J. Mayo, otherwise the rookie game starters will be covered by the Thunder.

"Kevin, you can't beat the two of us. Westbrook laughed and touched Anjie's arm with his fist.

"The sophomore team has won six in a row, so I'm not going to let that tradition go away. Not to be outdone, Durant responded.

But of course, this group of youngsters didn't really take winning or losing too seriously, and All-Star Weekend was a carnival weekend for both fans and players. It's not about winning or losing, it's just about enjoying the joy of basketball.

Compared to the rookie challenge, the group of talents who participated in the All-Star Game were truly star-studded. There are a lot of rookies who have only played in the All-Star Game once in their lives, and that is the Rookie Game. Anjie doesn't want to be one of those people, and if he could, he really hoped that he could be like Yao Ming and be able to report to the All-Star Game on time every year. It's not because Anjie is playful, but because he can be selected as an All-Star, which is undoubtedly a recognition of a player's performance.

Although China has a large fan base, it can bring a lot of votes to Anjie. But if An Jie can't perform well, then the NBA will not let An Jie become a member of the All-Stars.

While Anjie and the others had come to Phoenix, the NBA regular season was still in full swing. All-Star Weekend officially begins on the 14th, and the league won't be suspended until the 13th for players to rush to Phoenix.

However, just today, Feb. 12, the Trail Blazers faced the Warriors back-to-back after a win over the Thunder. Greg Oden, the '07 champion who was an eye-catcher in the last game against Anjie, collided with Warriors small forward Margety and injured his knee again.

This injury not only made Oden miss this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge, but also made him directly reimburse for the season!

'It looks like we're missing a good teammate. Westbrook sighed regretfully, because Oden was also hampered by injuries in his first year, so he was still selected for the first-year team.

"You know what, Russell, this old guy is really good. "Injuries have ruined countless talents, and if Morris hadn't been affected by injuries, he would have been playing in the NBA by now. An Jie is fortunate that after at least half a season, the Thunder team's lineup is still healthy.

"Alright, let's change the channel. Seeing that the atmosphere was depressing, Westbrook directly picked up the remote control and switched the channel. Whether Oden is a match or not, no one wants an injury to strike. What does a season reimbursement mean for a young man? Angel and Westbrook couldn't have imagined.

....................

"Ann!?What is he doing here!?" Early the next morning, An Jie came to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport again. There are already a lot of reporters waiting here, because there will undoubtedly be a lot of NBA stars here today.

However, the reporters did not expect that An Jie, who was selected for the All-Star Rookie Challenge, would suddenly appear here.

"Ann, how do you feel about being an All-Star for the first time!?"

"What do you think of Greg Oden's injury?"

"Who are you here for? LeBron James or Kobe Bryant. ”

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly they all rushed towards An Jie. It's not as big as the big names that are about to appear, but it's more than enough to take Ann's masterpiece as an appetizer. After all, this Chinese has been rated by the outside world as the best hope for the position of center forward.

"Hakim Olajuwon said you have a lot of potential, do you think you can live up to the expectations of the fans and legends?"

"Big dreams?" An Jie replied in astonishment, looking for the reporter who asked the question.

"Yes, Big Dream! I just came out of his mansion the day before yesterday, and we talked a lot, but I specifically mentioned you to him. The person who spoke was none other than "Mr. Painted Clothes" Craig Sager, a very famous, veteran NBA forward reporter. Whether it is Popovich, who hates the media, or Garnett, the unruly "wolf king", they will also give him some face. If he says that he just came out of Big Dream's mansion, then he is certainly not bragging.

can be noticed by Olajuwon, one of the idols, not to mention how beautiful An Jie is in his heart. "I ...... I'm definitely going to keep playing well in the future. ”

Sagar smiled and shook his head, young man.....

Just as An Jie was surrounded by a group, Catherine, who was dragging a large suitcase, walked out of the passage. Although surrounded by many people, An Jie's height still makes people can see it at a glance from a distance.

Catherine suddenly didn't dare to go forward, because she would definitely be photographed by reporters later.

Catherine is just an ordinary girl, she doesn't have a makeup artist to style herself, all the makeup is done by herself. However, the sharp-eyed reporter still found this mixed-race beauty, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as amazing.

"Ann's girlfriend!" a reporter suddenly shouted, and in an instant, half of the reporters left An Jie behind and rushed towards Catherine. It was an All-Star Weekend, and it was very enjoyable for the media as soon as it opened.

Even An Jie's heart beat faster when she saw Catherine's dress. In the past, Catherine dressed in ordinary clothes only gave An Jie the feeling of a girl next door, but after wearing the clothes that An Jie specially bought for her and heavy makeup, Catherine's whole temperament became very different.

Chanel's simple black slim maxi dress, Dior's dark red shawl. The simple two pieces cost An Jie 15,000 US dollars, but they made Catherine's whole person look new.

If they didn't know that Catherine was Anjie's girlfriend, at least more than half of the reporters here would have thought that a model had come to Phoenix to cheer for the All-Star Game. After all, Catherine's height of 1.78 meters is also the level of "seeing all the mountains at a glance" among girls. Now with high heels and an expensive long dress, her whole temperament has been upgraded to a new level.

Sure enough, Catherine was immediately stunned by a flash of light. An Jie squeezed out a way and laboriously "fished" Catherine and the bearded man out of the crowd.

Anjie, who returned to the hotel after that, doesn't remember, he only knows that he finally got into the taxi after a lot of effort.

"Ann. ”

"Huh?" An Jie turned his head to look at the beautiful girl sitting next to him, this girl's childishness was gradually fading, and then it was replaced by a seductive and fatal maturity. Just now, because they "escaped" in a hurry, the two of them didn't say a few words.

"I'm coming. Catherine smiled and gently grabbed Angel with one hand.

The two of them interlocked their fingers and happily leaned on the sand side of the hotel lobby and giggled. Until now, Anjie's all-star journey is not ready!

How can you not enjoy the most leisure time in the middle of the season with your loved ones? )
