In 2017, Danny Ainge once again made a deal that shocked the league, Ange exchanged Thomas Jr. + Crowder + first-round pick for the future team boss Irving, it can only be said that the two teams have their own needs, and the Celtics formed the Big Three of Irving + Horford + Haywood.

Thomas Jr. played a magical game last season, stepping up at crucial moments, cutting points for the team, and continuing to play even if he was knocked out.

What's even more touching is that he endured the severe pain of the death of his loved one, continued to lead the team forward, and brought the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals again after many years.

And Angie did not hesitate to trade Thomas Jr., just to win the championship again. Thomas Jr. is playing for the team with his life, but in exchange for such an ending, there is no loyalty at all.

Ten years ago, Angie brought the "Wolf King" Garnett to Boston overnight in a seven-for-one format, and at the same time recruited the sharpshooter Ray Allen into his command to form the Demon Triumvirate that sealed James. Ten years later, the team once again had the strength to win the championship by trading away the star Thomas and forming the Big Three again.

This is the temperament of Danny Angie, who will never quit the fight without firing the last bullet.

Regarding Danny Angie, he may be hated and abused by countless fans, but he is a good and even good team manager.

Danny Angie, a gambler and devil with Celtic green blood. As long as he's there, Celtic fans can always see hope for a revival of the dynasty.

It's just that Li Zhi didn't know that the legendary general manager he admired was regretting missing Li Zhi at this time.

……

When Li Zhi's thoughts were wandering, the fourth quarter of the game began, although there was no suspense in the game, Li Zhi and Durant still chose to play, the purpose is one - to brush up the score - MVP.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the first grade once again sacrificed a wave of 8:0 climax, and the second grade was powerless to stop it, except for Roy, Li Zhi, and Durant who fought for a few rounds, the second grade had no power to resist.

Finally, the countdown to the game went in, and the first grade won 145:133.

Barkley lamented: "Since 2002, the freshman has lost six times in a row in the All-Star Game, and I didn't expect to be broken by the class of '07 rookie this year. ”

Kenny Smith said: "This year's sophomore strength is actually good, Roy has grown into a quasi-All-Star, Aldridge and Rudy Guy can also be the backbone of the team, Gibson proved himself in the playoffs last year, and Rondo played under the guidance of the Big Three, but he didn't expect to lose." ”

Barkley nodded and said: "I didn't expect it before the game, but this year's first year is really strong, not to mention the four of Buddha, all of them are as fierce as tigers, and Durant is also a superstar embryo, which is really starry." ”

The stars are shining, and Barkley's evaluation has become a portrayal of this rookie game.

For many years to come, the media will recall the rookies of the year, Durant and Richie changed the league, Noah and Horford became the perfect championship puzzle pieces, and even Conley stayed with the Western Grizzlies for many years and was a playoff regular.

CCTV5, Zhang Weiping sighed: "This may be the best rookie game I have ever seen, this is a real fight." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "The four people of Buddha University have brought up the atmosphere of the audience. ”

Zhang Weiping thought thoughtfully: "I don't know who the MVP is for?" ”

Who is the MVP for, this is also a question for the fans in the audience.

At the end of the game, the fans in the stadium stood up and cheered and thanked the rookies for their wonderful performances. The players hugged and greeted, and the opponent will meet the good material.

Finally, the main drama came.

LEAGUE PRESIDENT DAVID STERN CAME TO THE CENTER OF THE PLAYERS WITH THE TROPHY IN HIS HAND AND SAID IN EVERYONE'S EXPECTATION: "THE MVP OF THE 2008 ALL-STAR ROOKIE GAME IS - LIZHI." ”

The fans in the audience applauded again.

Li Zhi scored 39 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in this game, and Durant had 35 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, which were comparable.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, took the MVP trophy in David Stern's hand, and looked at Li Zhi, Durant could not hide his loss.

Li Zhi made a speech: "Thank you, thank you very much. I'm going to try to turn this rookie tournament MVP trophy into a regular season MVP trophy. ”

……

While reporting on Li Zhi's MVP, the domestic media is full of worries about the future of the United Arab Emirates, and the rookie Sai Yi Jianlian only scored 8 points.

Many fans scolded the UAE on the Internet for being soft and hating iron but not steel.

Li Zhi looked at Yi Jianlian, who looked lost next to him, and comforted: "Don't care about other people's comments, just play your own ball." ”

Ah Lian looked up at Li Zhi and nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Zhi sighed that if the current UAE can have maturity in the future, it will definitely be able to have its own achievements in the NBA, and the UAE still has strength, but it lacks self-confidence.

The next day, the All-Star Rookie Game reported that Warriors rookie Li Zhi won the MVP of the rookie game, and Durant, Roy, and Gibson performed eye-catchingly, but in the next round of Li Zhi's performance, they played supporting roles.

When Li Zhi returned to the hotel, his mobile phone rang in his pocket, and all of them were congratulatory text messages.

Avril: "Honey, congratulations on winning the MVP. ”

Byron Davis: "Glory for the Golden State." ”

Montaellis: "I had the style I had back then. ”

Da Yao also sent a text message to Li Zhi: "Congratulations." ”

In addition to the text messages from friends, there are also bosses, coaches, and many stars and fans on Twitter who have expressed their congratulations to Li Zhi.

Anthony: "@GSW Lee, congratulations to my little brother #Rookie Game MVP. ”

James: "......"

Bryant: "......"

And so on, familiar and unfamiliar, opponents or friends, Li Zhi replied one by one to express his gratitude.

However, Li Zhi was surprised that Nick Yang, the "forced king", actually gave Li Zhi Aite.

Nick Young: "From the moment we enter the NBA, we're going to be rivals, are we ready?" @GSW Lee. ”

Many fans laughed at Nick Young for not being able to do his best, and he didn't even participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge and invited Li Zhi to fight, but Li Zhi knew that what this guy was talking about was not MVP at all, but pretending.

In addition, Andy Miller, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, called Li Zhi and told Li Zhi that he had a lot of endorsement contracts looking for him, hoping that Li Zhi would take the time to take a look.

Andy Miller is also a little depressed, Li Zhi is now quite famous, and his popularity in China is higher than that of some first-line stars, and many domestic companies are looking for Li Zhi to endorse, but Li Zhi and his family have not signed.

It's not that Li Zhi doesn't sign, but he is waiting for the price to sell.

I don't want a lot of rookies in and out of the league, I am uncertain about my future, and I have a system, and Li Zhi has great confidence in his future.

If you sign an endorsement contract in advance, you will definitely suffer a loss in terms of endorsement fees, so it is better to delay it a little and wait until you further increase your exposure.
