In fact, this year's rookie challenge should be the most star-studded in history in Lu Fei's opinion, and the players selected this year are all rookies in 2003/2002, because 2003 is one of the top three draft years in history, creating a super first-year rookie lineup this year.

The second-year lineup should not be underestimated, and the lineup of the owners Boozer, Ginobili, Yao Ming, and Stoudemire is also very strong.

At 7 p.m., the Rookie Challenge officially kicked off.

There are also many Chinese in Los Angeles, and Chinese fans supporting Lu Fei and Yao Ming can be seen everywhere in the Staples Arena, and their performance in the NBA proves the take-off of Chinese basketball, and whenever an American next to them asks if they know Lu Fei and Yao Ming, they will always proudly answer: "Of course, he is Chinese like us." ”

The rookie game was like an appetizer for the All-Star Game, and there weren't many stars in attendance, but more players who were ready to compete in tomorrow's dunk three-point contest and the day after tomorrow's All-Star Game.

The big screen on the scene locked on Kobe Bryant, who was sitting in the most prominent position off the court.

The moderator walked over with the microphone.

"Hi Kobe, are you ready to enjoy this All-Star weekend?"

"yes, I mean I'm just going to enjoy this game first, whether it's a sophomore or a first-year rookie, it's the best rookie challenge in last few years."

"Which team do you prefer to win?"

"Hmm...... I'm more optimistic about the second grade. ”

"Why? You must know that the first-year rookies have the strongest players this year, Lu Fei, LeBron, Cameron, are all the stars of their respective teams. ”

"Because there's Yao Ming in sophomore years, you know, Yao Ming is so tall, and as a center, I think he has the potential to be the No. 1 center in the league."

"Oh roar, what a hot topic, but you'd better ask Shaquille's opinion."

The host quickly diverted the topic, such a topic is obviously not suitable for discussion in the entertainment of All-Star Weekend.

There are really not many celebrities who can be interviewed today, but the camera at the scene still found a popular movie star who has recently become red and purple on the sidelines, a beautiful woman.

Scarlett Johansson said that she was going to watch Lu Fei's rookie game, but she didn't sit in the front row like other stars, watching the game was not a catwalk, and she found the most comfortable corner to watch the game quietly.

"LeBron, you're the best!"

"Cameron, I want to see you dunk!"

"Break through one and show them Manu!"

"Come on, Yao Ming!"

"Lu Fei is the most handsome!"

Scarlett Johansson's ears were filled with the cheers of the fans, and when she found herself on the big screen, she found that the fans were screaming even more wildly.

There were already fans around her who began to ask her for autographs, and after signing a few, Kobe's host came over with a microphone at the end of the interview.

"Hi Scarlett, I'm glad you came to watch the Rookie Challenge, do you like basketball too?"

"Of course, I've loved basketball since I was a kid." Scarlett Johansson winked playfully.

Lu Fei rolled his eyes, you have liked a fart since you were a child, and when we talked before, we also said that the last time I was in Seattle was the first time to watch the game.

"Do any of these rookie players in the game this year have a player that you like? I remember that earlier you gave the supersonic Lu Fei an all-star vote. ”

"Oh yes, I met Lu when I was recording a show in Seattle." Scarlett Johansson glanced at Lu Fei next to the court, and changed her words: "But my favorite player is LeBron James, I hope he can have a good performance in this game." ”

Hearing Scarlett Johansson's words on the big screen, LeBron James couldn't close his mouth, he didn't expect such a beautiful and sexy female star to be his fan, and suddenly even when he was sitting, his back straightened a little.

The celebrity interview session was an impromptu interactive activity for the host, followed by a series of celebrity performances, after which NBA commissioner David Stern announced the official start of the Rookie Challenge.

The lights in the arena dimmed, and the ceremony of the players from both sides began immediately.

Countless fireworks suddenly erupted around the stadium, dazzling and beautiful, and the large ceiling screen above the stadium began to flash the shots of each player playing, and each player lasted for two seconds, until it was finally fixed on Yao Ming in a rocket jersey and Lu Fei in a supersonic jersey.

In this game, the NBA finally put the gimmick on two Chinese players after discussion, which also represents the league's importance to the Chinese market.

The MC also loudly announced the name of each player who appeared, and each name was followed by a long tail note.

The second-year starting lineup is:

Defenders: Marco Jaric, Manuginobili.

Forwards: Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire.

Center: Yao Ming.

The first-year starting line-up is:

Defenders: Lu Fei, Dwyane Wade.

Forwards: Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James.

Center: Chris Carman

Players from both sides ran onto the pitch to the spotlight and applause, and the game began after the referee threw the ball into the air.

Every player on the pitch was wearing their respective team's jerseys, and at first glance it turned out to be so colorful that fans who don't watch the game often had no idea which was the first and second grade teams.

However, regular fans can still tell that the sophomores are wearing the uniforms of their respective teams, while the first-year players are wearing the uniforms of their respective teams' visiting teams.

Carman naturally lost to Stoudemire in the jump, and he couldn't even jump Yao Ming, let alone Stoudemire, a jumping man.

The basketball is in the hands of Ginobili, he habitually shook his long hair, and then picked up the ball from the ground and dribbled forward, he is no longer a rookie who has just entered the league, although he has only been in the league for two years, but in Europe he has won all the honors he can get, and in the first year of entering the league, he won the championship with the team, so he is very calm compared to the rookies.

LeBron James doesn't have any defensive tasks at all at this time, the rookie challenge has a certain performance component like the All-Star game, and his defensive Boozer is his teammate, and the two of them are standing on the side and chatting cordially, but his eyes always glance at Scarlett Johansson's position intentionally or unintentionally, or pass in front of Scarlett Johansson with strong and powerful steps when he runs back to defend like he just did.

It's a pity that Scarlett Johansson doesn't seem to have her eyes on him.

Ginobili possessed the ball past half court, and standing in front of him was Lu Fei, who was a little shorter than him and wearing a supersonic green jersey.

"Hello, old friend, let's meet again." Lu Fei smiled and said.

Ginobili frowned slightly......

Who are you and I friends from?
