1/24/09 is a special day for basketball lovers, because just today, the NBA's All-Star Game for the 08-09 season is about to be released.

“**！” ** Vicky expressed his displeasure immediately after the list was announced.

"What does that rookie have to take Tim's place, and while I admit he has some quality, it doesn't qualify him for an All-Star! Still starters! **！ Why wasn't Xiao Si squeezed out, just because he was the host? **！ ”

It's not unreasonable for Vicky to complain like this, because in the just-announced All-Star Game Western Conference starting list, Li Chen unexpectedly took a place in it. Since the big apple has entered, someone has to come out, obviously the host Xiao Si will not be this person, so Shi Fo, the proud disciple of ** Vicky, has become this victim.

Regarding the old guy's complaints, an anonymous source within the league revealed that David Stern felt that the All-Star Game should have fresh blood injected, Duncan's selection of All-Stars every year has made the audience aesthetically fatigued, and the addition of the Big Apple can significantly improve the situation, and I believe that his little white face can add a lot of ratings to this year's All-Star Game.

The league boss also said that the All-Star vote is not only about strength, but also about popularity among fans, which the Big Apple undoubtedly has an advantage. For the only handsome guy in the NBA who looks more oriental, the Asian people give them the utmost enthusiasm.

Not only the Celestial Empire, but also fans in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places spontaneously organized themselves to build momentum for the Big Apple to be selected as an All-Star day and night. In addition, in the United States, there are also many people who support Li Chen, among which New York and Los Angeles are the main battlefields, and the Los Angeles people wish that the Lakers would be an All-Star, and they will naturally not be stingy with their enthusiasm for the heartthrob's Big Apple.

The stronger and stronger backing made people gradually discover that Li Chen, who was still visually expected to play soy sauce in the first round of voting, had soared all the way to the votes, not only successfully defeated his idol melon, but also successfully entered the main selection list as a dark horse at the last moment, and the Spurs' super forward Tim Duncan was ruthlessly trampled under the feet of the big apple that had just entered the league.

Of course, Shi Fo himself is still very open to this result, he said that he understands the choice of the fans, although Li Chen is a rookie, his strength can not be ignored, he has enough strength to enter the All-Star list, and he himself also expressed his blessings for Li Chen's future.

The biggest winner of this All-Star Game is the Los Angeles Lakers, two of the five starters in the West belong to the Lakers, although Pau Gasol was squeezed out of the bench list by the Hornets' David West at the last moment, but the Los Angeles people have no regrets, two starting All-Stars, this is something that the OK combination can do back then, and Los Angeles fans are very excited about the league's voting results.

Here's what this year's All-Star list looks like:

Eastern World starters: center Dwight Howard, forward LeBron James, forward Kevin Garnett, guard Dwayne Wade, guard Allen Iverson;

West starters: Center Yao Ming, forward Cruz Lee, forward Amare Stoudemire, guard Kobe Bryant, guard Chris Paul.

CP3 defeated Maddy at the last moment and was successfully selected as an All-Star, which made many Wheat very sad, they thought that the Western starters of this All-Star Game were Lakers + Rockets + 1, and the actual situation in the end also shattered their good dreams, but fortunately, Yao Ming was as strong as ever in the list.

Substitute lists on both sides:

East: Chris Bosh (Raptors), Rashad Lewis (Magic), Paul Pierce (Celtics), Danny Granger (Pacers), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Jameel Nelson (Magic), and Devin Harris (Nets)

West: Shaquille O'Neal (Suns), Tim Duncan (Spurs), Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Tony Parker (Spurs), Chauncey Billups (Nuggets), and Brandon Roy (Trail Blazers)

With an average of 16.3 points, 8.1 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game, Li Chen successfully entered the All-Star starting list with such data. So far, he has also become the second All-Star starter in league history who is less than 20 years old, and ahead of him is the current boss of the Lakers - Kobe Bryant, but Kobe's statistics that year are obviously not as gorgeous as his little brother.

Kobe Bryant entered the league in 96, and in the first season, Peter Pan was not famous because of the problem of playing time, but in the second season, Kobe Bryant, who changed to the small forward position, allowed him to be on the court at the same time as the team's starting guard, and the sudden increase in playing time made Kobe's average points per game quickly increased from 7.6 points to 15.4 points, and through the support of fans, he also successfully entered the All-Star starting list that year.

He was joined by teammates Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel, and it was a miracle that four players from a team were selected for the All-Star Game at the same time. Bryant's 15.4 points per game also became the highest among non-starters that season.

The trouble-seeking media also noticed that the starting forward in the East was the little emperor James, and the first meeting between the big apple and the little emperor was in the All-Star Game, which had to make people reverie. What kind of reaction will the little emperor give to this person who claims that he will surpass his juniors?

In addition to the All-Star Game, Li Chen has many tasks, and there is no doubt that he must be in the rookie game, and he is even more present in the three-point game. Because of Li Chen's participation, many people think that this three-point band competition will be the most suspenseless one, for no other reason, how can others compare with him with the shooting rate of more than 80?

Li Chen knew that he would be very busy, but he didn't expect to be so busy, David Stern, who vowed to train him to become the next national idol, in addition to the above tasks, also privately expressed to Li Chen that he hoped that he could prepare a show during the All-Star Game, which made our protagonist angry, if you don't play like this, you have to increase the workload after so many things, capitalism is too cruel!

"My dear! Congratulations on being selected as an All-Star, I just got the news in the group! By the way, I've built your fan base in Italy! Amy sent congratulations to her boyfriend at the first time, it seems that life in Italy is not bad, and Amy does not show any annoyance.

"Thank you, Amy!" Li Chen originally planned to call the other party in person to inform him of the news, but he didn't expect Amy to call first, which surprised him.

"Why don't you reflect like you?" Her boyfriend's politeness made Amy feel very unaccustomed, "By the way, how was the gift I gave you last time?" I never asked you, and you didn't say anything! ”

Well, Li Chen was ashamed of his reaction, these days he has been messing with Julie Lindsay every day, and his thoughts about Amy have gradually decreased under the tenderness of the two girls, of course, this is not to say that he has empathized and said goodbye, but he has gradually become accustomed to the life of Amy's absence.

"Gifts? That's great! I stick it on my cabinet and every time I see it I think of you! "They were talking about Amy's Christmas gift to Li Chen, but no one expected that things would be so dramatic after that.

The gift was a sketch drawn by Amy herself, and the content was the scene when Li Chen and Vujacic were competing for three points in the bar, and it was on that day that the relationship between the two was determined. Although the value of the gift is average, it is of great significance, and Li Chen pasted him on the cabinet in his dressing room, which can also add some energy to him every time he sees it.

Hehe! Amy was very happy with Li Chen's approach, but the girl's life in Italy was obviously not easy, "Cruz, I'll hang up first, Roberta called me, we will go to the company to select materials for the future clothing!" I love you! ”

"I love you too, darling!" Li Chen reluctantly hung up the phone, he didn't feel anything if he didn't contact him before, but now that he really turned on the phone, he realized that he missed Amy, fortunately, the girl was doing well over there, which also made him let go of his worries.

Like the previous times, Li Chen's phone was once again busy, and people from all walks of life kept sending congratulatory messages to him, in addition to Lindsay, Julie and other close people, the first among friends was Melon Anthony.

"Bastard, you robbed me of my starter, I was selected as an All-Star in my rookie season, and I was still a starter, you are disgusting! I despise you! It seems that Melon has a lot of resentment towards Li Chen, no wonder, Li Chen said that Melon was his idol before, but now the idol has not yet entered the starter, but the fans have entered, and this result is not to blame Anthony upset.

Li Chen said with disdain, "Please pay attention to your wording, I didn't grab your starter, I grabbed Tim Duncan's, and it was Phoenix's freak who loves to wear No. 1 inside line!" ”

Li Chen told the truth, when the results of the league's penultimate round were announced, Anthony also narrowly defeated Xiao Si to occupy the third place in the forward position, and the number of votes with Li Chen, who was in second place, was also about the same.

But the final result was as expected by Phoenix's local media, and Xiao Si narrowly overtook Anthony and Duncan at the last moment and was successfully selected for the main list, of course, everyone knows how this slight advantage came about.

Anthony didn't object, "No way, who let someone else be the host, I can only find you to be angry!" But Duncan is also very wronged, he was squeezed out by you, a little rookie, I balanced! ”

Li Chen said secretly in his heart, "Aren't you also squeezed out by me, a little rookie, as for being so happy!" Of course, he still said another way, "That is, how can he beat me, I have the backing of the majority of Asian fans, how many people in Asia know no, just one Celestial Empire is several times that of Americans!" There are also a lot of other Koreans and Japanese people, so it's strange that he has to fight for me! ”

Indeed, being close to the people is Li Chen's biggest advantage, and Anthony is also very envious of this, "Then you, the spokesperson for Asia, will take me to Asia to make money another day, my agent told me that your business value is immeasurable, let me have more contact with you, just like the rocket effect, he believes that you can also help improve my business value!" ”

This is the real purpose of Melon, he wants to follow Li Chen to make money. And Li Chen, of course, is not a stingy person, and agreed without hesitation, "No problem, there are a lot of stupid people in that place, when the time comes, you follow me and guarantee that you will make a lot of money!" ”

"Hey, hey!" When it comes to money, the star players in both leagues seem to have lost their disguises at the same time, and they laugh out loud very undisciplinedly.

"By the way, let me remind you, although you were selected as an All-Star starter, remember not to be too showy, you are a rookie after all, and Kobe Bryant is also there, if you are too high-profile, you will be difficult to behave." Anthony was afraid that Li Chen would get carried away, so he specially reminded Li Chen.

Li Chen obviously thought of these a long time ago, "I understand, I plan to pull the wind in the rookie game, as for the All-Star game, there will be opportunities in the future, this time let's play soy sauce!" It's you, although you're a substitute, but you have to play well, maybe you won't be an All-Star next year! ”

"Phew, with my strength, I can get in the All-Star Game if I want." Anthony said angrily, "What's more, you have to go to New York next year, and I have one less competitor, so it's not difficult to get into the All-Star at all!" Unlike you, there are James and Garnett in front of you! ”

Although Melon said that he was not optimistic, Li Chen still had full confidence, "It's okay, just like beating Duncan this year, I will beat Garnett and James next year!" ”

It can be seen from Li Chen's words that the successful selection this time has given his self-confidence an unprecedented boost!

(Work hard tonight to code words, and strive for tomorrow's second watch!! ）
