Chapter 226: Okay Brother!

In the fall of 1950, just four years after the NBA was founded, the first president ~ Sipodolov and the president of the Boston Celtics, Walter Brown, agreed to select the best players from the East and West Divisions for a match at the halfway point of the season. On March 2, 1951, Brown, president of the Boston Celtics, gave the Boston Garden Coliseum free of charge to host the first All-Star Game.

The next All-Star schedule has always been a grand event for American professional basketball. Every year has been uninterrupted, and countless historical superstars have brought fans an unparalleled visual treat at the All-Star Games.

The All-Star Game can be said to be a façade of American professional basketball, which is played in a different place every year, and each time it is played, it can attract a lot of attention.

In the eyes of fans, the victory or defeat of the All-Star Game is no longer important, the All-Star is a show, and it is attractive enough for their beloved stars to be able to play in style.

With the development of the times, the All-Star has evolved from the basic East and West players to all kinds of interesting links.

The current All-Star Weekend is a three-day event, which includes the Rookie All-Star Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest, the Three-Point Contest, and the All-Star Game.

There will also be skill challenges, shooting stars and more, and these endless ideas and charismatic superstars will make this weekend a carnival for fans.

First, All-Star participants will perform a series of local community services before All-Star Weekend begins.

Community service is an important means for the American sports league to attract popularity, imagine that the emperor superstar of an industry, coming to a place like a shopping mall, school, welfare home, going deep into the masses, to do some reality shows and other things, will inevitably harvest a large ~ wave of fans.

Each team has occasional similar community events in their local area, where rookies are a must, and big stars are in their mood.

Go deep into the masses and serve the masses. This kind of behavior is something that the alliance and the organizers are happy to see.

In the All-Star Game, all the players who participate in the All-Star will also participate in some community activities. As a total of five players participating in the All-Star Lakers, four of them are rookies, it is natural that the organizers have arranged the event.

As the Lakers who have the most players coming to All-Star Weekend this season, how can the organizers not play their role to the fullest?

It's just that there is a gap between the effect and what the management thinks.

Saucy Brew Works in Cleveland — The Lakers and their entourage worked as waiters at this place today.

"Ariana! Eat here today! I've heard that the pizza here is very good. A man in an obviously well-dressed suit, oily-headed, pushed open the door to the restaurant.

???

Gone wrong? He quit and looked at the restaurant sign, and it didn't change!

"Tony, why don't you go in?" The white lady watched curiously at her companion's movements.

"That's... Then go in. ”

What caught the eyes of the two were five burly bald men!

Burly! Tall! Bareheaded!

Especially between the eyebrows and eyes of two of them, they are more like gangsters than gangsters!

What's going on? Have the Cleveland gangsters switched to pizza?

"You... You... Okay, ask for a seafood pizza with a bottle of Chardonnay. ”

"Huh?" Ben Wallace was dressed in an ill-fitting waitress's outfit, and his muscles were about to blow the shirt. He didn't hear clearly, and snorted fiercely.

Ben Wallace's every move after shaving his head became even more vicious, and the muscles that were about to come out made people shudder.

Tony shuddered, grabbed his companion's hand ~ and ran out of the restaurant.

"Fack, the third pair of guests who have run away." Eddie Jones couldn't help but complain.

"Xiaoyu, you should be a waiter. If Ben continues like this, our pizza will be sold until tomorrow. ”

Five bald waiters were busy in the store, so that the onlookers who didn't know the truth~ couldn't help but be a little scared!

That's right, before coming to Cleveland, Kobe Bryant brought five players to the competition, all of whom had a refreshing bald head!

Kobe's reasoning is that a bald head is better suited to play basketball!

To remember being defeated by the bull, shave your head as a souvenir!

In desperation, all the players who came to participate in the All-Star were caught by Kobe Bryant in the barbershop and shaved off 3,000 troubles.

"It's sold out." Fisher wiped the sweat from his bald head, his bald head was so refreshing!

"Let's go, let's go to the Gunder Gym." Ben Wallace also shaved off the explosive head, his already fierce expression was even more terrifying with his bald head, and the faces of the children in the pizza parlor were not right.

"Mom, I'm afraid." A 7-year-old boy hides behind his mother.

"Don't be afraid, they're all basketball players. Look at that big brother, he's Jordan the Flyer! Let's go to him and ask for an autograph! ”

Kobe Bryant pointed at himself in disbelief.

I? Flyer Jordan?

Where am I like Jordan anymore, except for height.

Jordan wears a fat suit and fat pants that don't fit every day!

Do I have that?

Jordan loves to wear berets and outfit artists!

Do I have that?

The Lakers player next to him had an expression that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

......

The All-Star Rookie Game, also known as the Rookie Challenge, was held in 1994.

The coaching staff selected the best rookies of the time in January, and this year a total of 18 rookies were selected to compete.

The current Rookie Challenge, which is limited to new rookies, is divided into East and West. Compared with the confrontation between the first and second grades of later generations, the confrontation between the United States and the world is different.

The Rookie Challenge will be coached by an assistant to the All-Star head coach, which means that Kirtlambis will be the head coach of the Rookie Game in the West.

Kirtlambis was a little nervous, but he actually stepped onto the All-Star stage, even though he was only the head coach of the Rookie Challenge, which was an unbelievable thing for him.

"Don't worry, Curt, I'll let you win the first game of your career as head coach." Kobe patted Kirtlambis on the back and said confidently.

The players on this side of the West are Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Bruce Bowen, Ben Wallace, Sharif Abdul Rahim, Matt Maloney, Lorenzen Wright, Steve Nash, Stephen Marbury, Lorenzen Wright.

Coaches included! Nearly half of the players can be said to be from Kobe's family.

"Kobe! I didn't expect us to have the opportunity to be teammates. The young Son of the Wind, Nash, ran to Bryant's side as soon as he entered the locker room, and the two of them talked on the phone often, but there were some days when they didn't see each other.

"Heh, lick the dog." Stephen Marbury hid in the corner and sneered.

Knowing that the starting point guard for this rookie challenge was Marbury, Kobe Bryant immediately looked around.

"Stephen, give me more passes later!

"Okay brother!"
