The 2009 NBA All-Star Game was held in Sun City, Phoenix.

Having just arrived in Phoenix, Zhong Yu has not done anything else, and first met with the other two Chinese players, namely Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Zhong Yu and Yao Ming were both selected as Western Conference All-Stars this season, and both were starters. This season, Jongwook is churning out 40.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, while also dishing out 1.4 blocks and 1.6 steals.

Yao is averaging 19.3 points per game and 10.3 rebounds per game this season. In terms of data alone, there is no suspense and no doubt that two people will be selected as All-Stars to become starters, and some people may question Zhong Yu's promotion of Kobe Bryant from the starting lineup, but they also have to admit that Zhong Yu's data is indeed so luxurious that it is difficult to repeat and copy.

His variety of scoring methods, as well as his beautiful offense, have become the best thing to attract fans.

Yi Jianlian's performance this season is not too good, and Yi Jianlian, who left the Bucks, seems to be a little at a loss...... Originally, the team gave him a lot of things, but he didn't do too well.

So far, Yi Jianlian has averaged 8.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, which is indeed a lot worse than Yao Minglai, and compared to Zhong Yulai, such data is even more difficult to say.

After all, Zhong Yu averaged a super data of close to 40+5+5 per game, which is indeed a data that makes people feel chilled when they think about it, and Yi Jianlian really has nothing to say about such data.

Yi Jianlian himself will not be jealous, because Zhong Yu and he have been old friends for many years, as a Chinese, he may use Zhong Yu's score and the honor he has now to spur himself, but of course he can't have any hostility towards Zhong Yu because of this.

Zhong Yu and him, and Yao Ming, are all old teammates of the national team, old friends for several years, of course, there should be no jealousy and other emotions between old friends.

As soon as the three of them met, they were a little embarrassed, after all, they couldn't see each other a few times in a season.

"I'm going to see you two again...... It's a real pleasure. Yao Ming said with a smile: "Many things are different now, only you, the teammates who came from China together, every time you see it, it is like seeing relatives." ”

Zhong Yu said with a smile: "Brother Yao, what are you talking about, it looks like you want to part with life and death, we are here to play all-stars, not to meet each other and be with each other." ”

Yi Jianlian despised Zhong Yu and said: "You guy, your mind is full of unhealthy things, you should really find a flush toilet to remove all the unhealthy things in your head." ”

Yao Ming also played a little humor: "Then his head will be completely removed......"

Yi Jianlian and Zhong Yu both laughed, friends were together, of course Zhong Yu couldn't be unhappy because of such an innocuous joke.

Yao Ming said: "Ah Yu, Ah Lian, it's almost the New Year, although there is no way to go home, but how to spend this New Year?" ”

Zhong Yu thought for a while and said: "How else can I live, that is, I obey the arrangements of the alliance and the agent, and many times I don't belong to myself in this place." ”

Yi Jianlian also nodded in agreement: "It's true, I don't spend the New Year at home, I always feel that something is wrong......

Zhong Yu smiled bitterly and said: "What else, if you don't come to participate in this competition, maybe you can take advantage of the all-star time to fly back, but now it's obviously not possible." The three of us can only have a good review in the Chinese Night arranged by the alliance for us. ”

Yao Ming said: "It's this reason, then I'll show it later." ”

Speaking of these, Yi Jianlian was a little gloomy.

His current achievements are really incomparable with Yao Ming and Zhong Yu! Thinking back to the high spirits when he first entered the NBA last year, Yi Jianlian, who was the sixth pick in the first round at that time, really became the darling in the eyes of many people.

After that, in the Bucks, he got the annual salary of a first-round rookie, and he was taken care of by the team, and he also scored many good points.

At that time, the confidence swelled.

Chasing the wind, blazing youth.

At that time, he did feel as if the world was under his control, but Zhong Yu's performance was a little worrying, he did become a hopeless bench player last season, when more than three-quarters of the time passed, and the whole person's performance was lackluster and could not find bright spots.

But at this time, Zhong Yu suddenly broke out, and suddenly became the new favorite of the Hornets, became one of the sharpest bee stings next to Paul, and became one of the twin stars in the Hornets' backcourt.

Zhong Yu, who is under this lineup, broke into everyone's retina in a short time.

After the start of the 08-09 season, Jongwook basically became an important main player of the Hornets and became the core of the Hornets. Zhong Yu was here with the Hornets, so strong that it was difficult to attach, and then Paul was injured, but he stubbornly led the Hornets to his feet, shattering people's suspicions about him with a string of victories.

In everything, Zhong Yu behaved so that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

Because he is really too strong, and the average score of 40 points per game makes Yi Jianlian completely unable to imagine how Zhong Yu got it...... Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind that after he went back, he would definitely train with all his strength to train himself better, and not let some people feel bad again.

……

This unique Chinese night is about to begin!

Now the whole spacious place has been arranged with red elements that belong to the Chinese elements, and the Suns have made a big deal to arrange these things, after all, it was formulated by the league, and they may also get some benefits from it, which will cause Chinese fans to like it, which are relatively good aspects.

Zhong Yu, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian appeared here, but they still hid their identities for the time being, but in the places where the idlers couldn't see them, the three of them were watching the arrangement go on.

Soon, the evening came!

Originally, the United States and China had a time difference, but it was also considered to be a local custom, and they held this Chinese night in the evening, of course, only in this way can it be said that it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

When Zhong Yu, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian appeared on the rostrum, everyone below immediately cheered, after all, there were too many factors they liked.

Of course, the main thing is Zhong Yu.

Jongwook, a madman who averaged 40 points per game this season, is now a strong contender for the league's No. 1 quarterback and the object of many people's pursuit.

As for Yao Ming, there are still many people cheering for him and calling out his name.

Yi Jianlian is a little embarrassed, after all, there are almost no fans of him, that is, those Chinese, who will call out some of his names, and some other people don't care enough about Yi Jianlian.

The three of them sat at the front for the time being, and then, in the center of everyone's eyes, one by one the programs began to perform.

It's not just traditional shows like lion dances, but a lot of other things.

There are also some Peking Opera and the like, in fact, in this year, let alone foreigners, even if they are Chinese, few are willing to listen to Peking Opera. However, these gringos can be regarded as relishing, probably just to find the feeling in it, and as a result, they look for it, and it becomes like this, which may also be a kind of pretense to show that they have studied the cultures of all countries in the world...... After more than an hour, these programs were completed, Zhong Yu, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian stood on the rostrum again, and suddenly, there was another burst of crackling applause, in the face of these three guys, the people below still would not be stingy with applause.

Yao Ming said a few words, and it was Zhong Yu's turn, and he pressed down with both hands, finally suppressing these voices that were too violent and about to explode.

Then, Zhong Yu said: "First of all, thank you for coming to participate in tonight's Chinese Night, as a Chinese, I feel very satisfied with tonight's program. ”

After saying this, there was already applause below, and those sitting in front of the TV gradually pricked up their ears.

Chinese fans are still excited, after all, Zhong Yu was the first to mention China's name and Chinese identity.

"Perhaps, there have always been many people who are curious and respectful of us Chinese, and I have no intention of commenting on such views tonight. However, I have to say to you that China is also developing, our country is also on par with the world, and I may be able to achieve some achievements now, but I am Chinese, and I have been cultivated by China. I hope you can learn more about China, that country, and the people in that country."

……

After saying this, Zhong Yu paused, and found that there were quite a few people listening to him below, and suddenly talked about his surname a little more.

"Tonight, we call this party 'Chinese Night' because the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, and in this festival, we all have to return to our hometowns and be together with our families and beautiful things. Now, we are in the United States, and we can only miss our hometown across the Pacific Ocean, and this 'China Night' is such an opportunity for me to feel familiar, as if I can also see my family around me......"

"Wow!" A burst of applause crackled, and suddenly, everyone's applause floated throughout the venue.

After this speech, Zhong Yu returned to his seat, but it was clear that what he said still had some effect.

Indeed, there are many people who are asking what the Spring Festival is, and many ordinary foreign people's understanding of China will still be stagnant in the era of the Eight-Nation Alliance, not because they don't understand, but they don't want to understand it at all...... In their eyes, China is a backward and poor country and a second-class nation.

And people like Zhong Yu and them are not only a matter of getting good conditions for a person, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of promoting the image of the entire country...... On occasions like this, for example, he will stand up
