Chapter 137: Lively All-Stars
The Raptors' last few offenses were all Mike James singles, and even if he scored six points in the last two minutes, it didn't make any difference, because the Knicks scored eight points. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lehi had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, and once again used comprehensive statistics to help the team win.
February 18th to 20th is Houston All-Star Weekend, the Knicks have no games after beating the Raptors, this time it is not only Lehi who has gone to the All-Star, and the team is also more happy.
And Marbury, who has not been able to enter the All-Star for several years, decided to make a comeback at the All-Star, before the league almost had to let other players replace him, and Marbury also quickly explained the situation.
He has a better face, and his body is no longer in trouble, and he definitely doesn't want to give up this All-Star.
Nate Robinson and Channing Frye are going to play in their rookie game and will be opponents with Lehi.
Quentin Richardson is going to be in the three-point contest, and Nate Robinson is going to be in the dunk contest in addition to the rookie game.
So the Knicks went to All-Star Weekend with five people this time, which was completely different from the situation of Lehi single-handedly last season, and it was a lot more lively.
Before going to Houston for All-Star Weekend, Li Hai first went to the newly opened company, in addition to Li Hai and Xia Weiliang's shares, Holt Eddie participated, but the fat man couldn't contribute most of the money and was a minority shareholder of the company.
The company's registered name is Fierce Waves, and Lehi didn't plan to get too involved in the company's operation, so he directly threw a list to the fat man.
"The above players will participate in the draft this year, try to sign if they can, it doesn't matter if the company makes a little less at the beginning, to make the players feel the benefits, I can take the company's players to participate in some activities, domestic and foreign are no problem."
"If you want to sign other players, I can do that."
Eddie took the list and smiled with a fat smile on his face, "It's no problem if you agree to participate in some business activities, there are all-star players here, and it will be easier to negotiate with those young people." ”
"You just don't mess around." Lehi reaffirmed.
Eddie immediately frowned again, because Lehi didn't participate in business activities much, which made him make less money, but the fat man was very down-to-earth, and Lehi wouldn't mess around if he said no.
He opened the list that Lehi handed him, only to see that there were just some names written on it, LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Rudy Gaye, JJ Reddick, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap, Andrea Baniani, Jose Barria.
Li Hai just wrote down the names of the players he was more impressed with, as for whether he can sign it depends on the performance of the agent, as for the ones he doesn't have much impression of, there must be good role players, in fact, as long as a few good players are signed, it is enough to make their company mix well.
As for the company that supports them, in fact, it's almost the same with Li Hai here, anyway, if you want people to make money, it's better to let your company make money.
On the first day of All-Star Weekend, Lehi and Xia Weiliang came to Houston together, and like the last All-Star, they planned to play here for three days.
Last time there was Anthony reception, this time Yao Ming's home stadium will definitely be more convenient.
Lehi was playing for the sophomore team on his first day, and he arrived at the court early.
The sophomore team is coached by former China head coach Del Harris and Hall of Famer Moses Malone, and Li Hai is certainly a starter again, along with Ben Gordon, Lore Deng, Dwight Howard and Andre Iguodala.
The substitutes were Devin Harris, Andres Nocioni, Nenad Kostic and TJ Ford.
Most of them are old faces, but there are also new faces, and some of the players in their current class who came to the rookie game last year have gone down a different path than they have in years.
In the alliance, if you have strength, you can survive well, and if you don't have strength, you will be forgotten, which is very cruel and realistic, but it will also inspire everyone to go all out.
On the first-year side, the coaches are former NBA coach Sidney Lowe and Hall of Famer Ervin Hayes.
Nate Robinson and Channing Frye turned out to be both starters, which also pleased Lehi, with their other three starters being Chris Paul, Danny Granger and Andrew Bogut, and four substitutes being Luthor Hyde, Charlie Villanueva, Deron Williams and Salonas Jascovitius.
Like last year's James, Lehi didn't put all his mind on the rookie game because he was going to play in the All-Star Game.
However, as a competition, Lehi was still looking for victory.
After the rookie game started, the first-year team was more motivated, and the second-year team was slower to enter the state, especially on the inside, Howard estimated that he had too much fun the night before and was completely pressed and beaten by Bogut.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lehi immediately strengthened his defense, and made two consecutive steals to catch up with the score in the second grade, and after he took the lead, Ben Gordon and Iguodala began to score consecutive points, almost unstoppable.
On the surface, the first-year team has a more balanced lineup, but it is obvious that the second-year team is more old-fashioned, and the shooting percentage is much higher than the opponent's, especially the three-point shooting rate, Lehi, Iguodala and Ben Gordon rained three-pointers together.
So the rookie team's better rebounding didn't play a role, and both sides threw too many three-pointers, which seemed a lot more childish than last year.
Lehi also didn't force the limelight and spent most of his time making balls for others.
When the sophomore team was raining three-pointers, the game lost suspense early, and Lehi brushed up a triple-double, but the MVP was Iguodala, who scored 30 points.
Channing Frye and Nate Robinson also had a great time, but apparently they weren't in the limelight yet.
The next day, the Knicks and a group also arrived early, and the slam dunk contest was the number one snack before the main game, especially when they had players participating.
Lehi himself was not particularly interested in this kind of competition, so he did not strive for any other events.
But he was happy to watch the game with his friends.
The first star shooting game, Lehi saw that there were more people this time, and whether there were any Knicks participating in this event would not hurt his feelings, and immediately curled the corners of his mouth.
"Come on, let's talk about which team will win."
"What's the point of just talking, I said I'll take a small gamble, a hundred dollars per person, play a little, not I blow it, I'll have a free supper in a while." Marbury said with gusto.
Lehi succeeded in his plan and immediately drew out a ticket, "Don't worry, I'll shout popcorn to you after I win." (To be continued.) )
