On February 15, 2007, the eve of the NBA All-Star Game, fans from all over the world gathered in New Orleans.

The Phillip Five-Star Hotel New Orleans is home to Richmond, Crawford and Gallinelli.

Richmond and Gallinelli performed well and were selected for this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge. Although the Warriors' record has struggled in the past month, ranking 15-19 in the West, they still do not hide the shining light of Rich.

The first place in the West is the New Orleans Hornets, in the first half of the season the Lakers Kobe Bryant was alone, and the remaining Spurs and Jazz were twice beaten by the new team led by Paul New Orleans, Chris Paul also played an epic performance, second in the MVP rankings, second only to the Celtics' Kevin Garnett.

In the East, the Celtics are on top of the game, three wins ahead of the second-place Pistons, with James leading the Cavaliers to third place.

However, the performance in the first half of the season did not make fans optimistic about the Hornets, after the Lakers got Pau Gasol, the Lakers became a championship team that can compete with the Celtics, and experts have predicted that the finals will be a "yellow-green battle".

Before the All-Star Game began, the NBA officially announced the starting and bench lineups for the All-Star Game, as well as the rosters for other games.

The Warriors Byron Davis is doing well, but there are too many top guards in the West, and Byron Davis is once again missing out on the All-Star.

The Eastern Conference All-Star Boston Celtics have the best record in the league, and they have three players for the All-Star.

Kevin Garnett received 2.39 million votes to become the league's vote leader and a starting forward in the East. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were both named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team. But because Garnett was injured, Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh replaced him as the starting power forward. Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace replaced Bosh as backup power forward. The Pistons, the second-best team in the league, also have guards Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton in this All-Star Game.

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward James and Miami Heat point guard Dwyane Wade, both starting in their third year, both received more than 2 million votes.

Center Dwight Howard was selected as an All-Star starting center for the first time in his career. He had 22 points and 15 rebounds in the first half of the season. Shaquille O'Neal was not selected for the first time in 15 years. Jason Kidd was selected as the starting playmaking guard in the East.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, the 2007 All-Star Game MVP, became the Western Conference vote-leader, receiving 2 million votes. However, he decided not to participate in this game because he was diagnosed with a finger injury by the team doctor before the game, and the Lakers did not think about the record.

Denver Nuggets guard Allen Iverson was selected as an All-Star for the second time since coming to the Nuggets. His teammate Carmelo Anthony became the starting striker. Power forward Tim Duncan was selected for the 10th time and Yao Ming was selected for the 6th time.

In terms of rookie games, this year's league is still a first-year and second-year rivalry.

In the sophomore season, Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Eldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers were selected together, in addition to the Celtics' Rajon Rondo, the Jazz's Millsap, the Grizzlies' Rudy Guy, the Lakers' Jordan Farmar and others.

What makes Li Zhi happy is that all four people who came out of Foshan University were selected, in addition to Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. Michael Connie, Yi Jianlian, Louis Scola, etc.

……

In the afternoon, Richie and Gallinari reported together, and when they entered the arena, they saw the Horford trio coming towards them.

Horford happily patted Li Zhi's shoulder and said, "We have only gathered again in the fourth year of Buddha University, and we will see that we will not beat the second grade this time." ”

In addition to excitement, there was also a kind of emotion in Horford's words. At the beginning, the University of Florida was drafted by four people, but I didn't expect that after entering the NBA, the best mix was the most inconspicuous among them, Li Zhi.

However, the three of them have no jealousy, and as brothers, they only have blessings in their hearts.

Li Zhi greeted the three of them for a while, and introduced Gary to the three of them by the way.

Gallinelli generously greeted the three of Horford, and Li Zhi had mentioned the matter of the four of them to him before he came.

Brewer and Gary Neri have a good conversation because they both have something in common, shooting three-pointers.

After Li Zhi arrived, all the first-year players gathered, all of them were first-year rookies, they all knew each other, even if they didn't know each other, they didn't look up on the court.

Everyone is a rookie, and the first All-Star Game was all in a curious mindset. The conversation is nothing more than the three-point game winners, the slam dunk contest winners, and the All-Star Game MVP and the like.

"George, I heard you participated in the slam dunk contest?" Yi Jianlian asked with interest.

Li Zhi replied: "Yes, the boss said that there will be a bonus for good performance." ”

Yi Jianlian was envious after hearing this, not that he was envious of Li Zhi's bonus, but that he was valued by the boss. Both of them are of the yellow race, why is Li Zhi's body so perverted?

Yi Jianlian was depressed for a while.

"What's the use of participating, don't talk about the slam dunk contest champion, Howard has already booked the championship!" Jeff Green said sourly.

After Jeff Green finished speaking, don't be glared at by the people around him, Jeff Green was also stunned, and looked at Durant randomly for help.

Durant smiled slightly, intending to help his teammates clear the siege, and said, "George, let's not talk about the slam dunk contest and talk about the rookie game, are you interested in teaming up?" ”

Durant's words attracted everyone's attention, everyone was here to participate in the rookie game, so they naturally cared about this.

Li Zhi knew what this guy meant, the second-year soldiers were strong and strong, and if the second-year didn't cooperate, it would definitely be a mess.

"Yes, but I want the MVP." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Durant didn't object, but he didn't agree: "Then it depends on strength." ”

Li Zhi mentally despised Durant: It's not fighting separately, just now he said that he cooperated, and believed in your evil!

……

The All-Star Game is officially here, and countless fans gather in New Orleans for a grand show.

The first is the celebrity competition, the afternoon is the rookie challenge, and in the morning Li Zhi has a domestic interview.

The reporter is Li Zhi's old acquaintance Dong Shanshan, Dong Shanshan has performed well in many previous interviews, and now she also has her own column, this time she made a special trip to find Li Zhi to do an all-star interview.

"Hello Li Zhi, first of all, congratulations on being selected for the All-Star Rookie Game." Dong Shanshan said.

Li Zhi smiled at the camera and replied politely: "Thank you." ”
