On February 17, Beijing time, on the morning of the second day of the Spring Festival, the 2018 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend officially kicked off.

Yang Yiming's first game is to represent the World United against the United States United in the rookie game.

He was joined by the 76ers' trio of big men Joel Embiid, Dario Saric and Ben Simmons. Jamal Murray of the Nuggets, the MVP of last year's rookie game, was also in the starting lineup.

At 10 o'clock, start on time!

Every NBA team has its own opening setting, and Los Angeles is the birthplace of Hollywood's movie dreams, so it's no surprise that you won't lose on the page. At 10 o'clock, the lights went out in the entire Stamp Arena, and in the darkness, only the edges of the stadium and several levels of stands were outlined by green lasers. Smoke erupted from under the large central screen hanging high, and a male DJ burst through the maze with a majestic voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, 2018 Rookie Race!" ”

Team World was the first to take the lead.

Although the United States confronts the world is just a gimmick made by the NBA in the past two years, after all, it is almost meaningless for the American people, who love the dominant side and are accustomed to heroism, to applaud the world team. Both teams appeared in alphabetical order of last name, and among the first few people to make the World United's debut, only social media darling "The Great" Embiid won the audience's applause, and even his teammate rookie triple-double King Ben Simmons had no market in the City of Angels, and the applause was sparse. Yang Yiming's Yang was even behind Simmons's Simmons, just when he was full of doubts and thought that he was going to make a mess for the world team, he didn't expect that when the spotlight hit him sitting on the bench, the audience cheered thunderously!

Looking up at the big screen, the big screen is also looking back at him.

This subtle expression of stage fright happened to be captured by the on-site camera, and it was exchanged for cheers from the audience!

"One Ming!"

"China! （China）”

"Dr. Yang!"

When Yang Yiming finally stood at the end of the World United team and the host began to introduce the lineup of the American United team, he dared to peek at the big screen again to find out: it turned out that many Chinese who had a huge base in the City of Angels came to Stamp today to cheer for him on the spot!

Or is it the previous wave of fans who cheered for Wu Yifan's Celebrity Match, and they haven't left yet?

No matter - Yang Yiming pursed a confident smile on the corner of his mouth - the arena and the audience are here, I'll go play!

But speaking of Wu Yifan, he and his "fans" really had a lot of fun.

When Yang Yiming was preparing in the locker room, he heard a commotion outside the stadium. At that time, Rex Caramian, the assistant coach of the Raptors, was still making pre-game arrangements, although it was a pre-game arrangement, but it was nothing more than innocuous words such as "play hard, shoot more three-pointers, and strive for victory". After all, this is a performance-based game, and no one takes the final victory or defeat seriously, Yang Yiming can see that the young men around him can't sit still for a long time, and the celebrities who are watching the screens in the locker room are playing lame basketballs, and they can't help but show their skills.

"I'm going to give everybody plenty of playing time, and you guys play to your heart's content..."

There was an explosive cheer from the locker hall that almost drowned out the tone of Calamian's set-up. Yang Yiming looked up and saw that it was Wu Yifan who had just picked up a frontcourt rebound and was dribbling to reorganize the offense.

"The starters are all clear." The bald-headed Calamian shook his head, trying to find a presence in the deafening sound: "There are still competition tasks ahead, such as Embiid, Young, Markkanen (participating in the big man group of the skills competition)... I'll control the playing time properly, and you can save some stamina. ”

"The coach and me." Jamal Murray, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't hold back, jumped up and raised his hand and shouted, "I also have a skills tournament mission, don't forget me." ”

"Yes, yes, Jamal still has you, but you were the MVP last time, and this time you should have given more opportunities... Other 'young people'. ”

A room full of people burst into laughter.

In the midst of laughter, Bogdanovich, who was sitting next to Yang Yiming, touched his arm and asked, "Who is the person who was cheered on the screen just now." ”

"Oh, a star, Kris u. He is very famous in China, and many people are obsessed with him. ”

"Oh, so you're not the most famous Chinese." Dario Saric, who was sitting on the other side of him, also made fun of Yang.

"Haha, I'm far worse than him." Yang Yiming didn't know how to explain it. Maybe these two are from Seville and the other is from Croatia, a "small country" in the Balkans, and they really can't experience the madness of chasing stars all over the country and their fans often exceeding the population of their entire country.

No, the celebrity game is coming to an end, the rookies went to the sidelines in advance to prepare for the warm-up, and Yang Yiming happened to be caught by Wu Yifan. The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and immediately took a group photo and posted it to their respective social accounts. When the rookie game started, this photo of "Hip Hop Wu" and "Basketball Yang" had already received 1 million likes and retweets!

Who would have thought that?!

Who would have thought that the stage of this NBA All-Star Weekend would become his playground for Yang Yiming.

debuted as an all-star for the first time, and Chinese boys inevitably had some stage fright. At the beginning, he grabbed rebounds and assisted Ben Simmons, who broke through the baseline and scored a dunk; He grabbed another rebound and threw it to the plugged in Jamal Murray, who hit a three-pointer. However, the other friends who were with him on the playground of the rookie game had already played. Jaylen Brown continued to disguise himself outside the three-point line, learning the Rockets boss Harden's step-back jumper, but unfortunately missed, but the exaggerated stride amused Harden himself, who was cheering on the sidelines. Donovan Mitchell warmed up for the dunk contest in advance, throwing and dunking in the counterattack, receiving rebounds and rebounding balls with one arm to dunk and ignite the whole court. However, his enthusiasm did not last long, although the World United team could not show the same level of explosive physical performance, but the knife was hidden, and the three-point rain threw the American United team without the power to resist. Among them, the most exaggerated is Bogdanovic, who was still laughing with Yang Yiming in the locker room just now: the most expensive rookie in history is unreasonable in his long-range shot, and he dares to shoot two steps outside the three-point line, but he can hit!

The U.S. team called a timeout.

"Hey, big man, aren't you going to play?" Bogdanovic, who hit three points in a row, was obviously in a good mood, and encouraged Yang Yiming while getting off the court, which was quite competitive.

"How to play?" Yang Yiming deliberately pretended to be stupid, "Everything that can be played has been played by you." ”

"Not necessarily." Saric seemed to have been waiting for this conversation for a long time, and he didn't know where it came from.

"What the hell do you have in mind? If you want to show off a dunk, I can help you. "It's a good gimmick to watch Saric dunk, Yang Yiming thought silently.

"No, no, it's the opposite." Saric hurriedly waved his hand, "I have an idea, so and so..." he said, holding Yang Yiming and Bogdanovic together and whispering.

After the timeout, the World United team really handed the basketball to the hot-handed Bogdanovic again, who was cruising one step away from the three-point line, seemingly careless, but suddenly shot!

Is there any?

No, the arc of this shot seems to be different from the previous shots, high and floating, obviously a lot shorter. Could it be a pass? Indeed, Saric was stuck right on the spot of this high-flying "shot": a reasonable rush out of the area, although the ball passed a little strangely, but as long as Saric caught the basketball, he could just turn around and shoot.

Behind him was Mavericks small guard Dennis Smith, 191 cm against 208 cm - it seems that Saric has won 9 out of 10.

Who knew that Saric was just a front!

The ball fell to a height of more than a meter on his fingertips, and he suddenly took a step back to the side, completely exposing the landing point of Bogdanovic's "shot". No one on the court expected this change, and watched the basketball go straight up and down in front of Saric and bounce high and run to the basket!

Yang Yiming, who was still ambushed in the bottom corner just now, started at this time, facing the rebounded basketball, grabbed the ball with one arm, and scored a slam dunk!
