On January 31, 2015, at 0:00, the league officially announced the list of substitutes for the New York All-Star Weekend main event.

Western Conference Bench – James. Harden (Houston Rockets), Kevin. Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder), Russell. Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder), Klay. Thompson (Golden State Warriors), LaMarcus. Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers), Chris. Paul (Los Angeles Clippers), Tim. Duncan (San Antonio Spurs)

Eastern Conference Bench – Paul. Millsap (Atlanta Hawks), Al A. Al Horford (Atlanta Hawks), Jimmy. Butler (Chicago Bulls), Kyrie. Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers), Chris. Bosh (Miami Heat), Dwyan. Wade (Miami Heat), Addison. Ann (Miami Heat)

The list attracted attention as soon as it was announced, and the media in Miami were naturally overjoyed, and this year's South Coast once again contributed three players to the All-Star Game. The Heat did not fall into a trough because of LBJ's departure, but ushered in a new transformation and glory, which can't help but be watched by the entire league!

And Addison himself finally achieved the feat of being selected as an All-Star in his rookie season, becoming the 14th player in the league's history to do so in 80 years. Even if many media outlets complained bitterly that Addison's skin color gave him a big bonus to being selected for the All-Star Game, they had to admit that the yellow-skinned rookie's string of stats and records were convincing. When a point guard who averages 15+10+4+2 per game comes out of nowhere, it's hard not to be selected as an All-Star......

Addison in his sleep was so taken by Sam. Bernie's call woke him up, and the agent's excited shouting on the other end made the Chinese rookie's head flutter.

With the announcement of the All-Star Game bench roster, the league also announced the roster for this year's Rookie Challenge.

This year's Rookie Challenge was a huge game-changer, as the league mixed first- and second-year rookies into two teams, the U.S. and the International. This form of competition, which represents the future strength of American basketball and international basketball, will undoubtedly make the confrontation on the court greatly increased.

Although Addison is of Chinese descent, he now has American citizenship, so he was selected for the American team this time.

Rookie Team USA – Mike. Carter. Williams (Philadelphia 76ers), Nolens. Knoll (Philadelphia 76ers), Victor. Oladipo (Orlando Magic), Elfried. Payton (Orlando Magic), Kenta Vios. Cardwell. Pope (Detroit Pistons), Zach. LaVine (Minnesota Timberwolves), Shabazz. Mohammed (Minnesota Timberwolves), Mason. Plumlee (Brooklyn Nets), Cody. Zeller (Charlotte Hornets), Addison. Ann (Miami Heat)

Rookie International Team – Andrew. Wiggins (Minnesota Timberwolves), Gorgi. Dieng (Minnesota Timberwolves), Steven. Adams (Oklahoma City Thunder), Giannis. Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), Bojan. Bogdanovic (Brooklyn Nets), Dante. Exum (Utah Jazz), Rudy. Gobert (Utah Jazz), Nikolai. Mirotic (Chicago Bulls), Kelly. Olynyk (Boston Celtics), Dennis. Schroder (Atlanta Hawks)

Hawks assistant coach with the best record in the East, Kenny Brown. Atkinson became the head coach of the international team and the assistant coach of the Warriors, Alvin Brown. Gentry will coach the U.S. team.

The revamped Rookie Challenge will undoubtedly raise expectations for it, and the strong confrontation will also mean that the competition will be more intense and engaging.

Adam. Shaw is a shrewd leader who is making his mark on a league that has emerged from the Stern era, while keeping the league at bay with a balance of fun and competition.

But none of this has anything to do with Addison now, he just wants to get a good night's sleep and then pick up his spirits tomorrow to meet his advertising partner.

"Using the fame of this NBA star to create some looming and ambiguous scandals to increase my popularity......" Li Jingyi, who was sitting by the window seat in the café, gently stroked the rim of the cup with her slender white fingertips, "This method makes me uncomfortable no matter how I think about it." ”

"Of course, because you are the one who borrows the situation, you have to use the influence of others." The agent said bluntly, "If you are on the other side, I guess you will be in a good mood right now." ”

"I didn't come on my own initiative...... It was the company's idea, and it was an idea that I hadn't discussed at all. The girl pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "There are many ways to increase popularity, why do I have to do this?" ”

"Remember what I told you before? Until you become or find a force that can balance the company, you can only be the dominant person in the company's plan, and you have no right to refute or give up...... That's the case with your whole group. The agent's expression became serious, "Becoming an idol is the path you have chosen, and this path is very difficult to take, Xiao Li." In fact, you should feel fortunate that it has been a year since your debut, and there are no overt unspoken rules to find you...... is because the company's power is tough enough in the entire Chinese entertainment circle, and you are much less harassed in that regard than most new female artists. ”

Li Jingyi's face was slightly gloomy because of the advice of her agent, and from the moment she was determined to become an idol, she plunged into the mixed and chaotic world of the entertainment industry without hesitation. In the past year, although she has been under the protection of the company, she has also seen a lot of so-called dirt and dirt that she once could not imagine.

"So the company asked you to carry out this mission of creating scandals, and it didn't mean to protect you." The corners of the agent's mouth curled up again, "Addison is an NBA supernova with a high degree of attention in the United States, and his influence and popularity in China are even no less than Yao Ming back then." broke out a scandal with such a person, or had a relationship with him...... In some ways, it makes it safer for you to walk in this circle. ”

The girl's soft and beautiful eyes sparkled, and she pursed her lips slightly, thinking about what the agent said.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the staircase leading to the second floor of the coffee shop, and two figures walked up. In front of him was a white man, and behind him was a slender and solid young Asian man.

The agent's face changed instantly, from the complicated calm just now directly switched to a warm smile, how friendly and affinity. She secretly signaled to Li Jingyi to pay attention to her demeanor, and then greeted her with a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Addison! Mr. Bernie, we've met before, and of course we're glad to see each other again! Coming out of his agent's mouth in fluent English, Addison was a little surprised.

"My name is Chen Yue, and I am Li's agent." Chen Yue introduced himself to Addison with a smile, and then led the two to the selected position, "This is Li Jingyi, a member of the group launched by our company. ”

Li Jingyi had also stood up, her English was not very good, and she could only introduce herself in Chinese after receiving the agent's instructions.

Sam. Bernie shook hands with the other party with a kind expression, but Addison next to him was slightly stunned.

He knew the petite and delicate girl standing in front of him...... Knowing her name, knowing the group she is in, and even knowing some of the trivial things she did when she debuted......

Addison pays attention to domestic entertainment information, and also pays attention to the large-scale girl group SNH48, which has been established and risen in the past two years. Although he is not very fanatical, he often searches for news of this group with his paranoid affection for black straight Asian girls.

Since you pay attention to this combination, it is impossible not to know Li Jingyi...... After all, this is the most popular member of the group in recent times......

"Add, what's wrong?" Sam, who found Addison a little stunned. Bernie asked, confused, as he touched the young man's arm.

The Chinese rookie was pulled back into reality, and he controlled his expression and shook his head at Bernie. Then he stepped forward and shook the girl's slender hand, not daring to exert any strength.

Chen Yue was doubly concerned about Addison's stunned just now, and secretly thought to himself that this could not be shocked by our Xiao Li's eyebrows and beauty...... That's great, that's what you want......

If this young Chinese man is not shocked to the point of losing his mind, how can the effect of the scandal be realistic......
