On Sunday, February 18, the 2018 NBA All-Star Game kicked off.

Zhang Feng woke up early, thinking he had plenty of time, but after the phone interview with Sports Illustrated and the live broadcast on TNT, it was already 2 p.m., and he had to leave for the Staples Center immediately.

After arriving, although there were still 4 hours before the official start of the game, the parking lot was already full, and Zhang Feng could only get out of the car and enter through the main entrance on foot.

As soon as I got out of the parking lot, I saw a dense crowd full of fans wearing the jerseys of various teams, some were happily taking photos, some were playing shooting games, and more were waiting in line for star players to sign autographs.

As soon as Zhang Feng appeared, he was recognized by sharp-eyed fans, and after the screams one after another, a large group of fans surrounded him. Among these fans, there are white-haired old men, hip-hop black guys, and Asian international students with school bags.

"Will you go all out for AMVP today? Before I'm in the hospital, I want to see the same player who can win all the All-Star Weekend honors."

"I heard that after yesterday's game, you went to discuss things with Embiid, can you reveal your secret plan?"

"When is the wedding with Angeli? Do you want to know about the wedding company? Chinese one-stop service is 5% off! ”

If it weren't for the group of people in front of him who didn't hand over the microphone, Zhang Feng would have thought that they were all reporters, and in the face of these strange questions, Zhang Feng arched his hand with a black line and said: "Farewell!! ”。

Sneaking into the stadium, Zhang Feng hurriedly asked the staff to take him to the players' locker room, Embiid and others had already arrived, and head coach De Anthony also frowned and thought about it with a tactical board.

Zhang Feng unwillingly took a look at the 'Zhang Feng team' named after himself, starting Embiid, Curry, DeRozan, and Brother Alphabet, and the bench Lillard, Thompson, Green, Harden, Lowry, Towns, and Horford were all here, that is, as the captain, he became the last person to arrive.

"Well, everyone ...... so early"

Zhang Feng touched the back of his head to liven up the atmosphere, but before he could finish speaking, Drummond Green said in a strange manner:

"You got 4 honors in 2 days, so good, it's nothing to be a little late, we should wait for you".

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Embiid hurriedly helped: "Blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have pulled Zhang Feng to talk so late yesterday."

"Then it seems that our captain has a good day, you can get there early, but he has something to delay," Green continued to tease.

"No way, at noon, TNT asked me to connect with him for a live broadcast, and we were very passive, and the comic host kept asking us how we felt about being selected as an All-Star for the first time" Embiid shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's weird, you arrived earlier than him for the same time for the interview......"

Zhang Feng never paid attention to Green's troubles, but he didn't want to see Embiid explain to him all the time, so he directly interrupted Green and said: "I'm afraid you're mistaken, I'm not late, the time for the photo is 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's 2:56, don't you know how to read the time?" ”。

Green glanced down at his watch, his face changed sharply, "Playing a big name, you?" The whole team is waiting for you alone, what should I do if the process is delayed? Isn't it great to be an all-star ticket king? ”。

“shut up!” A roar resounded through the locker room.

"Who the hell is yelling at me......" After Green found out that it was not Zhang Feng, he hurriedly turned his head to find someone. Curry grabbed Green and pointed at De Anthony. After reacting, Green could only eat Coptis dumbly, and there were words of suffering.

The coach has absolute authority in the locker room, even if it is a puppet coach, the players do not dare to openly contradict, De Antony roared, and the entire locker room suddenly fell silent.

"Take a picture, let's go" is another simple sentence, De Antony is the first to go out, followed by Zhang Feng's players.

When he arrived at the photo spot, the staff handed the basketball to Zhang Feng and motioned for him to sit in the front row, and it was the middle position.

Holding the ball in both hands and sitting in the middle, Zhang Feng is one of the biggest players in this All-Star Game, and as a rookie ticket like Grant Hill, this is the honor he deserves, but he feels that something is wrong.

It's not that Zhang Feng is not confident, but he has never liked this kind of hierarchical system, in the Kings, if he doesn't play well, whether it is the veteran Randolph or the rookie Mason, he dares to point out his problems, he likes the atmosphere of democracy.

"Wait a minute, let's take a different group photo!" Zhang Feng raised his hand to signal a timeout.

"What a thing about chicken feathers......" Green whispered.

"What do you suggest?" the photographer asked.

"I suggest we set a central point ......"

"Ouch, I rub? Centered on you? Do you really think of yourself as a big name? I don't agree anyway," Green clasped his hands to his chest and kept shaking his head, his tone contemptuous.

"I mean, how do you put the coach D'Antoni in the center, then stand in a position on the court, 12 people in pairs, shoot from a top-down view, and then put an All-Star floor background on the backdrop."

"So that everybody gets to see Coach Anthony at first glance, but each of you can be very visible in the photo, a bit like the 2001 All-Star photo, do you want to achieve that effect?" The photographer continued to verify.

Zhang Feng nodded, and the staff present applauded, although Zhang Feng's request increased their workload, but it was indeed an excellent idea, and the photo was taken in Zhang Feng's way, which would definitely get the greatest praise from the fans.

This idea, the star players present also felt good, and nodded in agreement, only Green looked pained, he misunderstood Zhang Feng's meaning, and he was extremely rude, seeing his embarrassed appearance, Embiid couldn't help laughing.

"You look so stupid, haha"

Before Green could reply, Embiid turned to Downs and said, "Imagine a basket above my head, come, let's stand here."

"So we're standing at a 45-degree angle to the left?" Harden looked at Thompson.

"The top of the arc is mine, who else is coming?" Curry beckoned to the crowd.

In addition to Zhang Feng, the only big names left are Harden and Curry, as soon as these two take the initiative to cooperate, the other players have no reason to refuse, even if Green is reluctant, he honestly stands with Horford.

In the end, the whole team formed an equilateral triangle formation from the inside out, with De Antony in the center.

“3、2、1，Cheers！” With the photographer counting down, the players of the 'Zhang Feng team' all smiled happily.

After the photo was over, everyone rushed directly to the stadium, even if it was an exhibition match, they had to warm up.

"Don't forget what we said before! I can do my best to help you with Green just now" On the way to the court, Embiid approached Zhang Feng and whispered.

"I know, I know, aren't you just trying to recruit Brother Alphabet? As long as you can pass the ball, I will pass it to you, as for whether you can assist him, it depends on your ability."
