Okafor watched Wayne, who had become an All-Star starter, walk towards him and deliberately turned his head away.

I don't want to see that face!

Because Okafor felt uncomfortable at the sight of Wayne's face, and was surrounded by a sense of frustration.

I thought that after entering the NBA, I would be able to get back all the shame I lost in the NCAA and make up for my imperfect youth.

Who knows...... After entering the NBA, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger!

Now it's not just the lost youth that isn't perfect, but even the future doesn't seem so perfect.

Seeing that Wayne has become an All-Star starter and still firmly occupies the No. 1 spot in the rookie list, Okafor's heart aches.

Why, there was a Wayne.

If it weren't for Wayne, would anyone else in the class of '04 be better than me?

"Emeka, are you still angry? How? It's not like I won't let you go into the All-Star starter. "Wayne doesn't want to fight Okafor right now, he needs to unite all the forces that can be united.

So, for the first time ever, Wayne spoke to Okafor in a normal tone.

"Hmph, just humiliate me as much as you want, Wei." Okafor smiled wryly and shook his head, "You All-Stars are so interesting, you always like to talk to your opponents before games. ”

"I'm not like you, I don't really value being an All-Star starter."

"Hmph, what does that mean? Come and talk to me. ”

"I'll give you a chance."

"What chance?"

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to do something with you, and we will be famous together."

"Okay, go tell the general manager of the Bobcats team and see if he asks you to do something with me." Okafor waved his hand and was about to walk away when Wayne shouted again.

"Rookie Game MVP, don't say you don't want it."

Sure enough, Okafor, who had his back to Wayne, stopped at this point.

The MVP of the rookie game, right now, this is the honor he is most likely to snatch from Wayne.

It's also his best chance to avoid nothing in his rookie season.

"I want it, don't you want it?" Okafor turned to look at Wayne with a serious expression.

"Of course I want to, but there's one person who wants it more than we want – Cameron. Anthony. If the sophomore team wins, neither you nor me, nor any of us will win the Rookie Game MVP trophy. ”

"Do you want me to join forces with you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't join forces, if you think you can handle the 03 generation alone, then you can go for free play.

I'm here to tell you about it, no matter what, we have to win the game before we can win the MVP. If you lose, we're all losers, think for yourself. ”

This time, it was Wayne who turned around first, leaving Okafor alone.

Wayne was still a little worried, his tone ...... Wouldn't it be a little too pretending.

Why don't you tell Okafor again?

"Wei!" As a result, Okafor shouted Wayne's name.

"Huh?" Wayne didn't look back, he was afraid that Okafor would see his smiling face!

"Just once, I'll join forces with you once. But I said it first, I won't take any less data that should be taken, and I'm going for MVP. ”

"Hmm." Wayne replied simply, showing the demeanor of a big guy.

In fact, his face has been smiling like a dragon mother.

Iguodala, Harris, Tony, Yoohawk, Spark plus Okafor and himself, Dragon Ball is all set!

Now, Wayne can make a wish to defeat the 03 Super Platinum generation.

At this point, the entire rookie team was left with only the Bulls' English pair, and Jefferson and the Spurs' Udri were not recruited.

But when most people want to fight seriously, will they not follow the crowd?

Wayne believes that the class of '04 can barely squeeze into a fist and slam the class of '03 in the face!

Can't hold out for half the game? I'll let you see what gold lasts!

Then in this game, Wayne and Okafor scored 20 points and 7 rebounds and 16 points and 11 rebounds respectively.

The strongest duo in the class of '04 brought another exciting showdown to the fans.

Both of them showed their attitudes today, and they made a statement to each other before the rookie game.

They almost said to each other: "Hey, don't drag your feet when the time comes, bastard." ”

Despite reluctance, Okafor became one of Wayne's Pokémon.

Without the knowledge of the Class of '03, their opponents have grown stronger.

Guagua still wants to make a big splash in Denver, but this time, this melon may not be sweet.

After playing the Bobcats' final three games, the Pacers went into All-Star Weekend with a 2-1 record.

On February 11, the red team was avenged by the MM group and broke the winning streak.

But after beating the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers, the Pacers won both.

At this point, the Pacers' record before the All-Star break is fixed at 35-16, second only to the Heat with Shaq and Wade, and second in the East!

It can be said that this counterattack speed is quite terrifying.

I think that when they just returned from the suspension, the Pacers had already fallen to the edge of the top eight.

It didn't take long for them to return to the top three.

This season's Pacers are really competitive!

Although the record is not bad, Wayne's 55 wins mission is not 100% safe.

After the All-Star break, the Pacers have 31 games left to play. The Pacers must win at least 20 of the 31 games, and the 55-win mission is the minimum to complete.

After the All-Star break, the regular season will enter a relatively more competitive sprint mode, with each team fighting for the final ranking and playoff spots, and it will become more difficult to knock the opponent down.

So to win 20 of the 31 games, it's not particularly difficult, but it does take some effort to do it.

Even if you're unlucky enough to lose one more game, Wayne's enticing rewards will all go up the drain.

In the sprint after the All-Star break, I still can't relax.

Now, though, there's a higher priority waiting for Wayne.

Before heading out for the final 31 races, enjoy the excitement of Denver All-Star Weekend!

※※※

NBA All-Star Weekend is a star-studded carnival for fans.

For the players, it was basically a small break in an intense season.

Everyone can put their tired bodies down for a while and don't worry about whether they are going to play an away game tomorrow night.

You can rest well until the end of the weekend.

Well, at least for most players.

But for Wayne, All-Star Weekend was no different than usual.

Maybe even more tired than usual!

"Why...... To get up so early. Wayne looked at the bright sky and wanted to cry without tears.

Do you call it a weekend?

"Have you forgotten? You've got several commercials to shoot this morning. At noon, he will participate in the pre-game public training of the rookie game, be interviewed by several media in the afternoon, and attend NBA public welfare activities in the evening. ”

Beside Wayne, a bespectacled assistant gave Wayne an overview of today's schedule.

Schwartz had other things to do and couldn't do it himself. So during the All-Star Game, he had to send a player assistant from the company to Wayne.

Wayne was afraid that the female assistant would be too long-winded, so he deliberately chose a man, and the result was ......

Well, it's not that desperate, but when you say that now, it's even more desperate.

really responded to Wayne's own words: "Hold on, and you will find that there is more despair." ”

After washing his face, Wayne got into the car and started a busy day.

The fans were raving, and the streets were full of All-Star Game posters and people wearing all sorts of jerseys.

Everyone had excited expressions on their faces, and everyone enjoyed this annual basketball feast.

But Wayne didn't even feel a little relaxed.

When I arrived at the advertising shooting site, I posed one pose after another according to the photographer's requirements, and took one photo after another that seemed to Wayne to be completely indistinguishable.

Last time, there was still a Ronaldo to chat, but this time there was no one to talk to, which was really boring.

After finally filming the commercial, Wayne was sent to the open training site of the rookie game non-stop.

It is said to be public training, but this training is not training for others.

The public training before the All-Star Game is, simply put, an activity in which reporters enter the training ground to interview the players, and this activity and training are actually not half a dime.

In this kind of training, no one actually goes to practice, and no coach really tells the players to run tactics.

Just take a few balls and play casually on the court.

All-Star Game, Need Tactics?

All the people present are the strongest, so you can give the ball to anyone!

If ESPN were to do a poll for the "least necessary character to be in the All-Star Game," the coach would definitely be at the top of the list.

Well, they don't even have the pre-game performances of the singers and cheerleading girls who are attractive.

So, first-year team coach P.J. Calesimo basically just said hello to everyone, and then he couldn't see anyone else.

When Wayne walked into the training hall, everyone in the class of '04 stopped moving, and all eyes fell on him.

It's as if a group of little brothers who are gearing up have finally seen their big brother.

"Wei, why are you here!" Okafor was the first to come up, serious, as if he was about to fight with the class of '03.

"Sorry, All-Star Weekend, you know, a bit of a traffic jam." Wayne waved his hand apologetically.

"Traffic jams? What kind of car are you riding? ”

"Huh? Benz. ”

"Oh, that's fine."

Wayne walked into the crowd and glanced at the class of '03, who were chatting and laughing in the other half.

Just laugh, and tomorrow night, you won't be able to laugh.

Seeing all the players in the class of '04 unconsciously leaning towards Wayne, the British combination of the Bulls looked confused.

Are we missing something?

Then, as Wayne had expected, the players he didn't have time to ventilate were also driven by the herd mentality at this time to lean towards Wayne.

"So, what we're going to do tomorrow, everyone here knows it, right?" Wayne found an empty seat on the bench and sat down, surrounded by a circle of heroes from the class of '04.

There is always a row of noodles!

Wayne also deliberately glanced at the British group, only to see that they also nodded vigorously with everyone: "Well, I know, I know." ”

"So, let's first establish the division of labor for tomorrow. According to the official list given before, tomorrow's starters will be Dwight, Emeka, me, Gordon and Devin. Ahem, Tony, give me a tactical board. ”

"Oh, yes." Tony. Aaron scrambled and handed a tactical board to Wayne, and the whole process of being summoned was very natural.

It's a fan.

Wayne opened the lid of the pen, put pen to paper on the tactical board, and began to talk about the specific plan for tomorrow.

Guagua, on the other end, looked at Zhile: "What are those guys doing?" Discuss tactics? How did Wei take a tactical board to write and draw, did he make a mistake in his position? ”

"It's an All-Star Game after all, and it's normal for them to want to pose in front of reporters." Wade puffed out his cheeks and laughed.

Oh, and his cheeks don't need to be bulging.

"LeBron, don't let the water go too far in the first half tomorrow, don't dig too big a hole." Anthony retracted his gaze at this time, and looked at James, who proposed to play casually in the first half of tomorrow.

"No, no, as long as I see Wei in the second half, the first-year team can't win. Don't worry, Cameron, you've got the MVP of your rookie game, I said. The Son of Akron replied easily.

Wade: Mousse is right.

Looking at the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick beside him, Guaga nodded with satisfaction.

It's good, it's about having that kind of confidence. In this way, I can attend the banquet with peace of mind tonight.

Hey, as a host, as an unofficial ambassador of Denver, I have to entertain friends from all over the world, but it's very busy.

If only I could be as idle as the first-year players.

After the reporter's interview time, it was obvious that the 03 super platinum generation was more popular.

One thing to say, the four strongest in the 03rd class, the coffee position and the 04th class are not at the same level at all.

In an interview, the players of the class of '03 also had some arrogance in their mouths.

"LeBron, when exactly are you going to be in the slam dunk contest?"

"The time is not yet ripe, and I want to participate in the slam dunk contest when I am at my best."

"So, are you really going to give it your all in tomorrow's rookie game?"

'Of course, like Cameron said, we're going to play a real game.'

On the other hand, Wade is also a favorite of reporters: "Do you rate Wei's first half of the season?" I give 9 points. He's great, but he's a little bit close to perfect, hahaha. ”

"Who do you think will be the biggest threat to tomorrow's rookie game?"

"To be honest, I don't feel like a threat. We're just going to win, and when we work together, we can't lose. ”

On the side of the 04th class, the smile is obviously much less than that of the 03rd class.

Many people think that the class of '04 is because of nervousness, but in fact, it is because they are all serious.

"Way, you're going to make your career All-Star Game debut tomorrow. Will you be nervous in the face of the super 03 class? After all, they said they would try to play a game full of confrontation. ”

"Nervous? No, no, no, they just played a year longer than us, that's all. Antagonism? No one will be afraid of a real confrontation. Wayne is skilled, and it can be said that he has implemented the phrase "strategically defying the enemy" to the fullest.

"Hahaha, you're confident. So what do you think is the key to your victory tomorrow? Is it you or Okafor? ”

"Neither, I think the key to our win was Josh's mid-range shooting."

"Uh......" The reporter secretly applauded in his heart, beautiful!

Nima, you black two, 03 and Josh have let you be blacked alone.

"One last question, Wei. If you had to pick a rookie season MVP, who would it be? ”

"I'll pick Tony."

"Tony? Interesting answer, can you tell us why? ”

"There's no why, it's not the class of '03 anyway."

After the players of the class of '03 pretended to beep for so long, Wayne finally gave his first shot back.

Of course, everyone in the class of '03 didn't really care too much, what should they do at night.

Anyway, tomorrow's game, in their opinion, is still the same sentence, and it will be over at half-time.

That night, Wayne lay down early to recharge for tomorrow night's game.

He has already said everything this afternoon, whether he can top the 03rd session depends on the on-the-spot performance of everyone tomorrow.

This long-planned rookie game rebellion by Wayne is about to erupt.

At this time, only Tony. Aaron was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"Hehe, Wei is still my best brother, he hasn't changed his mind!"

Well, Wayne's casual remark that Tony would be the MVP made the Celtics upstar very happy.
