Chapter 144: All-Star Appearance

Roy and Daron Fox later chatted for a long time, and the two basketball teenagers of the same age had a lot of common topics, such as games and movies.

When they separated, the two followed each other's tweets, and they also formed a little flower of friendship.

On the evening of March 1, 2016, the Chicago Grand Theatre, where the stage was decked out as a half-court basketball court, where the McDonald's High School All-Star Game will be played in the United States.

After a night's rest, the players' mental outlook has really changed greatly.

As is customary, all the players will be in action tonight, and as in the NBA All-Star Game, they are divided into two teams, East and West, and they are:

East Force Lineup:

Western Force Lineup:

● Frank Jackson, No. 11, point guard, from Lonely Hilltop High School. An excellent point guard second only to Lonzo Ball in the West, his fundamentals are very solid, and dunks are his specialty.

● T.J. Leaf, No. 9, power forward, from Foothill Christian High School. Israel's tall and handsome man has the height to shoot, pass and rebound, and is a fairly versatile power forward.

He is 6 feet 10 inches (208 cm) tall, weighs 240 pounds (109 kg), and has not yet chosen a school (16th in the 2016 ESPN Top 100 High School Students).

● Jarrett Allen, number 19, centre-forward, from St. Stephen's Anglican School.

He is 7 feet (213 cm) tall and weighs 220 pounds (100 kg) and is currently confirmed to join Gonzaga University (ranked 37th in the 2016 ESPN Top 100 High School Students).

With the introduction of the MC (host) on the spot, the players also listened to the names one by one from the passage, and they were greeted by the warm cheers of the audience.

Roy finally appeared on the stage, and the organizers did not arrange Roy, who is ranked No. 1 in the United States, to appear in the finale, and probably they also knew that Roy would definitely not get the warmest applause from the audience.

Not only did Roy not get the cheers he deserved, but his support wasn't even higher than that of Zach Collins, who was ranked 37th.

Roy, of course, also understands that a bunch of American players, or at least American players, are indeed a strange existence in his own right.

An unknown teenager from a basketball underdog not only took away the championship, MVP and All-Star of Lonzo Ball, the pride of the United States, but also the top spot in the ESPN Top 100 High School Rankings that all American high school students covet. It's a feeling that the haughty Yankees certainly won't like.

Just now, he heard someone in the audience talking about waiting to see Roy make a fool of himself.

Want me to make a fool of myself? Is it really that easy? Roy smiled confidently at the camera, as the No. 1 high school student in the United States, my performance had just begun.
