"Alas, you guys hurry up and listen, haha, my grandson will call someone."

In the capital, Wang Lei and Ma Dongmei's family are preparing for the New Year in the courtyard of Old Man Ma, Li Weihong and Ma Dongmei are cleaning up what they want to eat on Chinese New Year's Eve from the kitchen and the nanny, while Ma Pingdong is taking care of the small mountain, Wang Lei and Old Man Ma are crackling and throwing chess.

Ma Pingdong's words attracted everyone's attention, Li Weihong ran out of the kitchen first, they hadn't seen their grandson for nearly a few months, to be honest, even Li Weihong's strong personality was gentle like an angel here in Xiaoshanshan.

Although Xiaoshanshan is surnamed Wang after all, for Ma Pingdong and Li Weihong, this is no different from their own grandson, after all, Wang Lei and Ma Dongmei grew up beside them, Wang Lei often followed Ma Pingdong to eat because his parents had competitions when he was young, so Xiaoshanshan is the grandson of these two in a sense.

It is said that the next generation is intimate, this is really the truth, Ma Pingdong even chose to retire early because of Xiaoshanshan, he can't wait to stay by Xiaoshanshan's side all day long.

"Come, Shanshan, call again, call again to grandparents."

Wang Lei also walked over, and he was also curious about what happened to his son just now, after all, it was only six months ago.

To the surprise of everyone present, Xiao Shanshan, who was leaning on the stroller, actually responded to the voice of "Aba, Aba" immediately after Wang Lei finished speaking.

Generally speaking, babies will not speak until ten months later, of course, there are particularly early, but that is an example, but Wang Lei's son Wang Chengshan has already spoken for only six months, and there is obvious interaction with adults, which is very magical.

The opening on the hill made Wang Lei's family fall into excitement, and their New Year's Eve was more lively than usual.

And at this time, the eyes of North American fans are being drawn to the new All-Star Game.

Although the reason why Dallas can host the All-Star Game this time is due to the factors taken care of by the league, they are indeed outstanding in terms of basic conditions, Dallas is the financial, educational and medical center of southern North America, and their economic strength is among the top in the United States.

In order to prepare for the All-Star Game, the owner of the Mavericks, Mark Ralph, paid out of his own pocket for the Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, which can accommodate 100,000 fans to watch the game, which was originally an NFL venue, but Mark Ralph still chose to buy it, he hopes to show his strong confidence, he wants everyone to know that the Mavericks will one day become the championship again.

However, what caught Mark Ralph and the alliance a little off guard was the arrival of the flu, this cold wave swept across North America, and under the substantial cooling, many people were infected with the flu, especially the originally warm climate of California and Texas, which had just spent a warm winter, and now the sudden cooling naturally caught people off guard.

Under the attack of the flu, the enthusiasm of fans to participate in the All-Star Game has decreased a lot, and the league is quite helpless about it, and they can only try their best to hype it through various means, as for how the fans choose in the end, it is still up to the fans to decide, if they are really enthusiastic enough, the little flu will not stop them from rushing to Dallas.

As for how to hype, the league actually had a plan when it entered 2021, and in this plan, it was naturally the showdown between the two new stars of the league, Turgun and James Hart, and in addition, there were also some topics of hype between the major stars in the East and West in the past.

However, the league still focused the hype on Turgun and James, after all, there is a lot of grudge between James and Turgon, and the two meetings between the two teams alone are enough to make James have some thoughts about the Runners and Turgon.

On February 12, 2021 local time in North America, the Dallas All-Star Game rookie game started first.

In order to make the matchup between Turgun and James more interesting, the league deliberately changed the format of this All-Star Game rookie game, and the former sophomore team and first-year team are back instead of the North American star team and the world star team that have been implemented for several years.

In the second-year team, Turgun is naturally the "Nanbo Bay", although there are still some unconscious people who feel that they are better than Turgon, such as Stiles Bernie, who was traded to the Trail Blazers by the Runners.

Stiles did have a bit of a brain pump, and he dared to steal the right hand with Blair Bowman in his rookie season, although this was with the support of the Kings coach and management at the time, but it already shows how touching his emotional intelligence is.

Now to the Trail Blazers, Stiles is still the same, but this time he is suffocated by Brent Charles, who is not as good at talking as Blair Bowman, the now recognized league super power forward has taught Stiles hard after returning from injury, although the management of the Trail Blazers is average, but it will definitely not be as brain-dead as the management of the Kings at that time.

Stiles actually wanted to compete with Turgun in his rookie game this time.

Compared to the treatment that Turgun received on the sophomore team, James has almost no challengers in the first-year team, it can be said that in this draft, all the limelight was stolen by James, and although Elvin Butler is also a first-year pick, he only exists as a substitute and cannot be compared with James at all.

Due to the hype in the league before the game, this rookie game really attracted a lot of fans to watch the game, although it still didn't fill the huge cowboy stadium, but it was very rare to still have so many spectators under the risk of flu.

After the rookie game began, James led the first-year team to the first place, and Turgun was challenged by the team, so the first-year team quickly took the lead.

James' physicality is among the best in the league, and there is simply no one in the first- and second-year teams who can defend him alone, and he rampages the interior and exterior of the second-year team.

On the second-grade team, Turgun is a little lazy, although he is an ethnic minority, and there is no problem of not having a New Year, but in more than ten years of life, he has been used to reuniting with his family during the Spring Festival, so today's Turgun is not actually in a state, and he is a little homesick.
