February 13th.

The 2010 Dallas All-Star Weekend officially began.

As in previous years, the first day consisted of the Masters and Rookie Challenge.

The 10-year Masters didn't have much of a gimmick compared to previous years, and it was actor Michael Rappaporte who finally won the MVP.

However, the Rookie Challenge has seen something different this year than in previous years.

The eventual winner of the game was the first-year rookie team, who won the game 140-128, and this victory interrupted the second-year winning streak for seven years.

In fact, it can be seen from this game that among the newcomers of the class of 09, there are still many outstanding players.

In the end, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge was awarded to the Kings' rookie Tyrek Evans, who immediately became the hottest Kings future from entering the league, and after the season, this guy not only won the best rookie trophy, but he also got 20 plus 5 plus 5 data, becoming another player after Yi Jianlian who can complete such all-around data in his rookie season.

He was so good in the first year, and there would have been an even more brilliant future waiting for him, but alas...... The knee injury cost him most of the season the following year, and when he returned from the injury, his explosive power dropped so much that he could never return to his former form.

If it weren't for the fact that his explosive period was too short, so short that the audience withered before he was impressed by him, he would definitely be a "Ross-style" tragic character.

After the rookie game and the first day of All-Star Weekend, Yi Jianlian took a photo with a few fans, and then went to visit the night market in Dallas with Bogut, Mo Williams and Channing Fry.

This is something that these guys have discussed a long time ago.

Their hotel is not far from the arena, which is only about a 15-minute walk away, just past Fan Square, where the night market is famous in Dallas, so you can walk all the way back to the hotel.

The streets and alleys are full of posters about the All-Star Stars, which shows that the city of Dallas really takes this NBA All-Star Weekend very seriously.

"Easy!"

As soon as he got out of the arena, Williams pointed to Yi Jianlian's poster and smiled at Yi Jianlian, "Help me take a photo with this poster!" ”

"Die!"

Yi Jianlian scolded with a smile, snatched Williams's mobile phone, adjusted the camera to aim at him, and then hooked Williams to take a selfie directly, "Take it and treasure it!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Moving on, Mo Williams also saw his own poster, and there were several promotional posters for Bogut, including Channingfry, who participated in the All-Star three-point shooting contest, and could see a poster of him preparing to shoot a shot.

It can be said that as long as there is a game to play during All-Star Weekend, there is basically an exclusive poster.

From this aspect, you can also see the intentions of the city of Dallas.

However, among these posters, everyone has them, except for the poster of Steve Nash, who played for the Dallas Mavericks back then, Yi Jianlian and they also went all the way to the end before they found a promotional poster of Steve Nash in front of an inconspicuous tavern.

"It seems that the city is still reluctant to let go of Steve Nash's decision to go to the Suns!"

Mo Williams also found out about this situation and teased with a smile, but it could be seen from his expression that he didn't take this kind of thing to heart.

In fact, such things are commonplace in the NBA.

Carter has been away from Toronto for so many years, and now he is still overwhelmingly booed when he goes back, and Carter is also a big player when he fights the Raptors, which once made Toronto fans even more painful; And Roy later retired and wanted to come back, Polante fans made it very clear that no matter if you come back to the Trail Blazers or not, as long as you don't come back with the Lakers, any other team can, and we will welcome you back with applause.

Trail Blazers fans still stubbornly believe that the Lakers ruined their soon-to-be-won second championship.

NBA fans are really holding grudges!

When they were about to arrive at the hotel, they passed by a bar that looked very luxurious in terms of decoration, and the three Bogut guys were attracted in, so Yi Jianlian went back to the hotel alone.

Well...... The itinerary has been reported to Liu Yifei, if he doesn't go back to the hotel to video her at this time, he is prone to accidents, and his life is a major matter.

Channingfrye didn't take long to come back, after all, he still had a game tomorrow, he had to stay in shape, and he couldn't play too crazy.

As for the other two guys, they will also be spectators when they go to the scene tomorrow, and they are all in the hometown of cowboys, how can they not ride something!

Day 2 of All-Star Weekend.

The first to start was the shooting stars, and the eventual winner was the Dallas homegrown Mavericks.

Next up is the Skills Competition.

This year's contestants are all famous, with Westbrook "The Turtle", Jennings "Mr. 55", "Chris Paul's nemesis" Deron Williams and Steve Nash.

Defending champion Derrick Rose missed the skills challenge with a hip injury.

It was Steve Nash who came out on top.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, Nash hasn't participated in a skills game for three years, but this time the NBA organizers invited him to participate.

And in the end, he won the skills competition.

This was his third time competing in the Skills Challenge, and his second Skill Challenge title.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, and the home court of Dallas was naturally full of Mavericks fans, and it can be seen from the disapproval of Steve Nash's poster throughout Dallas City that Nash was unpopular in the city.

Fortunately, this undesirable guy has become the eventual champion of the skills competition, dangling excitedly with the trophy in his hand, and the Dallas fans are not to mention how aggrieved they are.

Steve Nash's celebration today is also extraordinarily flamboyant, obviously, he has no good feelings for this city that doesn't like him, and he has the opportunity to disgust them, so he naturally has to cherish it!

If it weren't for the nationwide live broadcast today, Nash would really like to say to the fans of the Dallas Mavericks - this championship is for you guys who are raised by words.

All his grievances with the Mavericks actually boil down to one word: money!

At that time, Cuban was reluctant to spend a big contract to keep him, and Nash chose to sign a five-year, 65 million contract with the Suns, and the whole thing was as simple as that.

But in the eyes of some Dallas fans, Steve Nash shouldn't have asked for so much money, and when the Suns didn't want him in the first place, it was the Mavericks who gave him the opportunity to work hard to become a 17-plus-7 first-class point guard in the league, and in return he should accept a contract with a lower offer from the Mavericks.

But Steve didn't do that, and he chose to leave Dallas.

In the eyes of Dallas fans, this is a betrayal.

Steve Nash betrayed Dallas!

Maybe in the current view, this kind of thing is nothing, the NBA is a business circle, and whoever gives more money will go, which is no problem in itself.

But five or six years ago, the NBA still had a bit of a human touch, and fans valued loyalty very much.
