All-Star is the biggest holiday in the NBA.

To celebrate the holiday, the league has a four-day holiday, with February 13, 14, 15, and 16 all offseasons.

First, the results of the third round of the All-Star Poll were announced.

Vince Carter was elected king for the fourth time with 2127183 votes.

Ben Wallace followed with 1982251 votes.

After that, there are popular superstars such as Garnett, Kobe, Iverson, Duncan, O'Neal Jr., Yao Ming, O'Neal, Maddy, Kidd, and Francis.

(Names are listed in descending order of ballot.) ）

It is worth mentioning that at the last moment, Ye Feng surpassed Iverson's 1731638 votes and became the first defender in the East.

Although James and Anthony performed better than Ye Feng, they lacked the magic bonus of the East and were not able to enter the All-Star Game as a starter, and the substitutes depended on the coach's meaning.

At this point, the East and West All-Stars are the first to be released.

Western Center: Yao Ming (Rockets).

Western Conference forwards: Duncan (Spurs), Garnett (Timberwolves).

Western Guards: Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Francis (Rockets).

Eastern Center: Big Ben (Pistons).

Eastern Forwards: Carter (Raptors), O'Neal Jr. (Pacers).

Eastern guards: Ye Feng (Cavaliers), Iverson (76ers).

As for the All-Star bench, there will be two coaches to choose from.

There were 5 starters, 7 substitutes, 12 on one side, and a total of 24 on both sides.

The head coach of the West is Philip Saunders, who led the Timberwolves to a 37-15 record and tied with the Kings for first place in the West.

The head coach of the East is Rick Carlisle, who led the Pacers to a 39-14 record and the entire league.

The two coaches quickly selected their seven All-Star replacements.

West: O'Neal (Lakers), Ray Allen (Supersonics), Brad Miller (Kings), Peja (Kings), Cassel (Timberwolves), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Kirilenko (Jazz).

East: Kidd (Nets), Maddy (Magic), Pierce (Celtics), Artest (Pacers), Byron Davis (Hornets), Martin (Nets), James (Cavaliers).

In fact, in his previous life, James did not enter the All-Star in his rookie season, and although he was very popular, he was still a little short of the starter.

As for the bench, the team's 20-33 record is not enough for the head coach to take a fancy to him.

However, in this life, the team's 28-25 record is much better, not only greatly improving the team's record and entering the top eight sequence, but James himself has also played 20+5+6+1 data, which is enough to enter Rick Carlisle's eyes.

In this way, the Cavaliers have 2 players in the All-Star Game, and both are rookies, which is also an NBA record.

In the 72-year history of the NBA league, only 30 players have made it to the All-Star in their rookie season, and most of these people are ancient gods, almost none in modern times, Kobe Bryant and James (in previous lives) have not done it, you can imagine the difficulty.

But now, Ye Feng and James are rookies into the All-Star Game together, which is a miracle.

While the media was hyping it, many fans also raised questions.

Ye Feng, squeezed Maddie off the All-Star starter?

It is equivalent to the whole year, Yao Ming squeezed O'Neal off the All-Star starter, and even surpassed.

After all, Maddie's popularity is much higher than O'Neal's.

Once again, fans questioned the way the All-Stars were voted, but the league did not respond.

On the Huaxia side, the fans welcome and encourage, Yao Ming and Ye Feng will meet in the All-Star Game, which is definitely a great joy.

......

In addition, the league overhauled the All-Star Rookie Game.

In previous seasons, rookies who played All-Star games were not allowed to play rookie games.

For this reason, Yao Ming was unable to participate in the rookie game in his first year.

Now, the league has lifted this rule, and rookies can play in both the rookie game and the main game at the same time.

This also means that Ye Feng and James can participate in both competitions, and Ye Feng and Yao Ming will collide for the first time in the rookie game.

Soon, the first and second grade lists were announced, with nine on each side.

Second-year team: Yao Ming (Rockets), Boozer (Cavaliers), Dunleavy (Warriors), Ginobili (Spurs), Jarrizzi (Clippers), Murray (Supersonics), Nene (Nuggets), Prince (Pistons), Stoudemire (Suns).

First-year team: Ye Feng, James (Cavaliers), Anthony (Nuggets), Wade, Haslem (Heat), Bosh (Raptors), Hinrich (Bulls), Hayes (Wizards), Howard (Mavericks).

.......

In addition, the roster of several other events has also been announced.

Skill Challenge: Marbury (Knicks), Davis (Hornets), Boykins (Nuggets), Fisher (Lakers, for Payton).

Three-point contest: Mobley (Rockets), Peja (Kings), Billups (Pistons), Lewis (Supersonics), Ye Feng (Cavaliers).

Slam Dunk Contest: Chris Anderson (Nuggets), Ricky Davis (Celtics), Fred Jones (Pacers), Jason Richardson (Warriors)

Shooting game: There are no highlights, except for the appearance of the magician, which makes many old fans very excited, there is nothing to see.

In other words, this All-Star Weekend, Ye Feng's activities are very rich, such as the three-point contest, the rookie game, and the All-Star game.

On the 14th, 15th, and 16th, Ye Feng will be very busy, and only the 13th is left to rest.

But Ye Feng didn't expect that February 13 would become the most important day in his life.

Because the game ended a day early, Ye Feng, James, and Boozer went to Los Angeles a day early to participate in this year's All-Star.

(The 2003-2004 All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles, with the Lakers as the host.) ）

James wants to promote his pizzeria, and Boozer plans to explore the cosmopolitan city on his own.

Ye Feng was the most idle, and planned to go back to see his original teammates in the Drew League.

But as soon as he got off the plane, Ye Feng received a call.

"Ye, come to Staples Arena!"

On the other end of the line was Avril Lavigne.

The two haven't seen each other for a while, and Avril Lavril came to Los Angeles a month ago, reportedly preparing for a comeback concert.

In addition, the schedule is tight during this time, and the two don't have much contact, just some daily greetings, Ye Feng really doesn't know much about Avril's recent situation.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Avril has always helped when she can. But Avril Lavigne's concert didn't care about herself.

Ye Feng could feel Avril's feelings for him.

But Ye Feng is not a person who is good at expressing feelings by nature, on the contrary, he is still a little muna, so the two have not made substantial progress.

In short, it is a bit bland and tepid.

"Okay."

Ye Feng directly agreed, but he still had some doubts in his heart, could it be that Avril's concert was chosen at Staples Arena?
