The White House tour lasted half a day, during which the president was almost always with them.

After a conversation about the NBA in the reception room, President Bush led them to the main entrance.

The reporters there were already in place and waiting.

This is the most important part of the White House visit, where the president will give a congratulatory speech to the champion team, and the Rockets will give the president some gifts.

Journalists will record this historic moment.

"There was a small incident in the reception room today, and I mistook Rockets head coach Tang Tian for a player." In his speech, President Bush referred to what had happened before.

"But Tang Catholic Lian is right, it's not my fault, after all, he is so young, and I look forward to seeing him again next year."

"I don't think I'll be here next year, though."

Bush's humor immediately made the Rockets behind him laugh, and the reporters below also recorded this classic scene in laughter.

After Bush's speech, Yao Ming presented a Rockets jersey with his name on it on behalf of the Rockets, the only Rockets jersey he received during his tenure.

After the press conference, Bush had lunch with the Rockets in the White House state room.

At the dinner table, the team members looked excited and cautious, they could be regarded as enjoying the treatment of the head of state.

Tang Tian was the most calm one, after all, he knew in his heart that this place would probably be his coming back often in the future.

After the White House visit, the Rockets were even more proud.

After another 6-1 record in early February, the Rockets had a terrifying 46-6 record before the All-Star break, leading the league ahead of the Celtics (44-9) next door.

The stellar record allowed the Rockets to shine in the next All-Star Show.

Although Tang Tian did not become the head coach of the Western Army due to rules (the head coach of a team cannot serve as an All-Star coach in a row), the Rockets still had multiple players in this year's All-Star Game in New Orleans.

Yao Ming and Maddy continued to be the starting players in the Western Army, and Billups was also named to the bench for his consistent performances, and the trio were selected for the main event for the first time in nearly a decade.

For the second year in a row, Novak competed in the three-point shootout.

Petrus will also participate in this year's slam dunk contest.

The rookie game of the Rockets also featured multiple players.

In the first-year team, Marc Gasol, Sun Yue, and Scola played.

In the sophomore team, Millsap and Novak also occupy two positions.

There are 18 players in the two teams, and the Rockets account for nearly one-third.

Such a ratio can already be described as a "rocket special".

A week before the All-Star break, when Tang Tian was working on tactics in his office, Petrus came to him and said that he hoped he could give some advice on dunk moves.

This question asked about the many memories in Tang Tian's mind, and he didn't hide them, and gave all the good ideas in his memory to Petrus.

After listening to this, Petrus was extremely excited, and the next day he practiced in the training gym.

Tang Tian didn't care, he didn't have to be a coach in the All-Star Game this time, he just had to be a spectator with peace of mind.

Swift is going to do a national tour, and Hathaway is also preparing for a big runway show in a few months, he thought he was alone, but he didn't expect that the day before the All-Star Game, "Widow Sister" Scarlett asked him out.

It's really boring to watch All-Stars alone, and Scarlett uses the reason that she wants to know more about Swift, so it's hard for him to refuse.

On February 19, 2008, the NBA All-Star Game kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The focus on the first day was naturally the rookie game.

Although the first-year team has three strong points: Durant, Horford and Gasol, it can't stand the strength of the second-year team.

In the end, Millsap became the MVP of the rookie game with a performance of 33 points and 12 rebounds in the game, beating teammates Roy and Daniel Gibson.

The rest of the Rockets players also had good performances.

Gasol scored a team-high 28 points and 13 rebounds in the next grade, which is quite like last year's Millsap.

Sun Yue contributed 15 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Scola scored 16 points and 6 boards, and Novak was charging for the three-point contest, hitting 6 three-pointers and contributing 18 points.

Yi Jianlian, who won the best rookie of the month in December in the East not long ago, also contributed 12 points and 3 boards to the first-year team, and he was in good shape.

Millsap's acceptance speech was naturally indispensable to thank Tang Tian.

When the on-site camera showed Tang Tian on the sidelines, Scarlett, who was smiling on the side and tilted her head to look at Tang Tian, also followed in, which immediately attracted one whistle after another from the fans on the scene.

Not long ago, he enjoyed the treatment of bending over and holding hands at Swift's concert, and now he appeared on the sidelines of the All-Star Game with Scarlett, Tang Tian is going to become the goddess's "public lover".

The first day of the All-Star Game came to an end, but as last year, the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest on the second day attracted more attention.

This year's three-point contest lineup is even more luxurious than last year's.

Kapono, Daniel Gibson, Peja Stojakovic, Nash, Nowitzki, and Steve Novak are not only three-point players, but also star-studded.

The intensity of the competition is also more intense than in previous years.

Gibson and Capono both scored 21 points in the preliminaries, while Peja scored 22 points.

Novak came out as the defending champions in the finale and the pressure was high.

However, he continued his excellent hand from yesterday and finally withstood the pressure to score the same 22 points as Peja.

4 20+, this kind of grand occasion is the first time in the three-point competition!

And because of the same score, Gibson and Capono have to play extra games.

In the end, Capono withstood the pressure and beat Gibson's 18 points with 19 points, not disappointing the fans as he did last year, and finally reached the final to have a "lifelong enemy" against Novak.

In the final, he was the first to play super hot, scoring 25 points equal to last year's Novak record, and stunned the audience.

Bosh made a gesture on the sidelines to hold the championship and had already announced in advance that Capono was the champion of the three-point contest.

Peja, who followed the court, struggled under intense pressure and scored just 16 points.

In the finale, Novak only hit 2 of 5 shots in the first point, causing an uproar at the scene.

But then he regained his touch, played without missing a shot, first suppressed and then raised, and finally threw an incredible 26 points!

When the last flower ball fell into the bag, the fans at the scene went completely crazy!

Breaking records for two years in a row, Novak is absolutely superb!

At the end of the match, Capono smiled and hugged Novak, and he had nothing to say about losing to such an opponent.

After Novak won the championship, he also became the sixth player to win the three-point contest after Bird, Hodges, Price, Hornacek and Peja.

A heart-wrenching three-point contest, the fans at the scene watched the blood boiling, and the excitement did not disappear with the end of the three-point contest, because what was to be staged was a more blood-pumping slam dunk contest.
