All-Star Weekend in the NBA.

For David Stern and the league he dominates, All-Star Weekend is a great time to get money and attract attention.

For most players, All-Star Weekend is more about hating, hating, complaining, and so on, but they have to put on a smile and participate in it as if they were enjoying the party, except for rookies and certain purposeful players.

For those of the former stars, All-Star Weekend may be an occasion for them to reminisce about the past, and it is also a moment for them to smile and point the fingers.

For managers and uniforms, All-Star Weekend means a trade deadline is just around the corner, and the uniforms are likely to be haggling on the back of the party.

For Jiang Qi, this All-Star weekend is more just a novelty, after all, the Hawks' current situation is quite stable, and although the team's shortcomings are obvious, they are not something that can be strengthened by a mid-term trade. As for taking this opportunity to hook up with some All-Stars, it seems that there will be no good target for a while.

Moreover, for a rookie team like Atlanta, the final highlight of the All-Star Game has nothing to do with them, and the older players in this team are all simple blue-collar players, and there is no All-Star atmosphere at all...... However, Lao Jiang's invitation to Uncle Si obviously made the old man very happy, so Jiang Qi received some surprises one after another, which can be regarded as surprises.

First of all, the NBA's rookie matchup, if Boris Dior can be selected for the sophomore team, and if he can be said to be the main player on the Hawks in recent months, and has shown outstanding tandem effect, brushing up not outstanding but average enough data, then Ariza's selection as a first-year is quite nonsensical.

The first-year rookie team of the Denver All-Star Weekend had four Hawks players selected, and the selection of Andre Iguodala, Josh Smith and Al Jefferson was a normal rhythm. Iguodala is a high-pick rookie and has basically secured the Eagles' main line. Al Jefferson is ranked in the top five of the rookie class because of his stable performance data on the inside, and now people will not only mention Howard and Okafor as a rookie in 2004, but Jefferson has also been quite recognized, especially when he is paired with a center with excellent athleticism, Jefferson's defensive slowness will be compensated, and his solid footwork and technique on the offensive end will be eye-catching. Not to mention Josh Smith, he is a popular star in Atlanta, and his hot dunks and blocks make people's blood boil, which is definitely a guarantee at the box office.

As for Ariza, it's not that he was born in a second-round show, but that Tieza has a mediocre performance in terms of statistics in addition to defense, and usually the person who knows Ariza's ability best is the head coach rather than the media commentator, and the first principle of the All-Star Weekend is offense, what does it mean for you to get a big brother who eats defense in there?

The only explanation is that Uncle Si, the old fox, is helping Jiang Qi to raise the value of the Eagles' rookies, after all, there is still a difference between having such a resume and not having it, it is conceivable that if it weren't for Chris Duhon's mediocrity, and the Eagles' guard line and sufficient personnel to make him unable to get many opportunities to play, the president would probably get Du Hong into it.

That's a gesture, isn't it......

Next, the list of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest was released, and the list of Josh Smith, who was expected by many people, was expected, but the name of Iguodala would appear in the list of the All-Star Three-Point Contest, which was a big surprise.

But the alliance also has an explanation for this, and even did not hesitate to make a short promotional video for this.

"I'm Iguodala and I'm a defender for the Eagles."

"I once shot five out of seven from three-point range in one game, but I shot zero of six from six in another."

"But I knew I needed a three-point shooting percentage to open up space for my teammates and accept the trust that my teammates gave me, so I would practice my three-pointers after every practice, and I dreamed of one day being the one with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league and working hard for it!"

There is no background music, no rendering and no foil, it is completely the protagonist's inner monologue with the picture of Iguodala sweating and practicing his three-point shot, but it has become a good vehicle for the league to promote mainstream values.

In the NBA, dreams and bests are respected, and the effort to do so is what the league hopes to spread the most, in fact, Iguodala will practice 200 three-point shots every day regardless of whether he has training or not, and he insists on doing at least an hour of finger and wrist ball exercises, which is the recipe that Lao Jiang copied to him...... In other words, there is no exaggeration in the league's publicity, so that Iguodala's participation in the three-point contest will not only not be questioned, but will also give a thumbs up, which can be seen from Uncle Si's methods.

Even Jiang Qi, a rookie director with various hype visions in later generations, had to cosplay the classic line in the tunnel war: high! It's really high!

This is far more than just a heart, but a real gift. Because from the beginning of the preseason, Atlanta has been planning under Teresa's planning to focus on the new image of the Hawks who are young, hardworking, and persevering for their dreams.

Miss Teresa was proud of this for a long time, and raised her delicate chin to tell Jiang Qi that this was the spark that her new image for the Eagles touched the positive nerves of the league.

At this moment, Jiang Qi could only nod his head to respond, but then he remembered another thing, and hurriedly hung up the phone to Tom Thibodeau, since the league intends to establish the image of Iguodala, then the Eagles should pay more attention to some details, such as Chris Anderson, the troublemaker, Birdman is passionate on the field is the team's microwave oven, but at least in Lao Jiang's memory, he has a bad record of fooling around with friends and taking contraband, which needs to be strictly managed, and the Eagles have many hot-tempered players, Van Axel and Pulzbila are like this, there is no problem with blood on the field, but the scale must not hold up to the group fight, as for the behavior of pushing and yelling...... Basketball is a sport where excess male hormones permeate the entire arena, and the league will not be unhappy with this scale.

However, seeing that his promise has not been fulfilled, Uncle Si's return gift will be sent to see that his promise has not been fulfilled, and Uncle Si's return gift will be sent to his eyes, Lao Jiang can only calm down and study the following opponents in a down-to-earth manner, so that the trip can be smooth and reassuring.

Against Regina, the Milan players showed consistent consistency, taking complete control of the game and taking the three points comfortably.

Facing Cagliari at home, the focus is on the recent outstanding striker Suazzo's defense, people found that before the game there was a rumor that Jiang Qi was going to fly to the United States to sit in the coach's seat safely, but the Cagliari players played a little immediate, AC Milan did not rush to start the game at the San Siro, and the control of the rhythm allowed them not only to drag down the mood of the Cagliari people, but also to live in the game, and the score of 3:0 proved everything.

So, half an hour after the end of the post-match press conference, Jiang Qi, who took a private plane, happily embarked on the journey to Millican.
