This all-star, Wang Meng In addition to the All-Star Game, Wang Meng also needs to participate in the second-year Rookie Challenge, but Wang Meng has already determined that he will not play too much time in the Rookie Challenge, after all, as the starter of the All-Star Game, he has to have more energy to prepare for the All-Star Game, and Griffin also has the same idea.

It is worth mentioning that in this All-Star Rookie Challenge, there is also a yellow race participating, and that is Jeremy Lin of the Knicks.

Speaking of Jeremy Lin, Wang Meng only had a little impression before, he is an American Chinese, graduated from Harvard University, compared to Wang Meng, who dropped out of college, is an absolutely good student, of course, learning well does not mean that football skills are good, in fact, Jeremy Lin was unsuccessful in the draft, and then he went through twists and turns and got a contract with the Golden State Warriors.

But with the Warriors having two two-way positions, Stephen Curry and Monta Easley, who occupy the guard position, Jeremy Lin has no chance to play.

On December 9, 2011, the Warriors announced that they had laid off Jeremy Lin, and the Rockets signed with him, but soon cut him again.

On December 27, 2011, Jeremy Lin officially signed a contract with the New York Knicks, and Jeremy Lin has not been satisfactory in the Knicks, but it seems that the goddess of fate favored Jeremy Lin, Anthony, Jr., and Davis's injuries, allowing Jeremy Lin to have more playing time.

A miracle really happened, and on February 4, 2012, Jeremy Lin suddenly exploded without warning, cutting down 25 points, five rebounds and seven assists to help the Knicks without Anthony and Smalls defeat the Nets.

And that's not all, next against the Wizards, Jeremy Lin had 23 points and 10 assists, getting the first double-double of his career. On February 10, the Knicks played against the Lakers, Jeremy Lin played against Paul, the league's top point guard, and scored 29 points and 8 assists under Paul's defense, setting a new record for the highest scoring in his career, and leading the Knicks to three consecutive wins. The league suddenly blew a storm of forests for no reason, and Jeremy Lin, a player who was originally just a trick, suddenly became extremely popular, especially in the mainland, where his fame chased Wang Meng directly, and he was nicknamed Lin Crazy.

And that's not all, on February 11, in the Knicks' victory over the Timberwolves, Jeremy Lin scored 30 points and had seven assists. On February 14, Jeremy Lin scored 21 points and 5 assists in the game.

In all five starts, Jeremy Lin scored at least 20 points and dished out seven assists, which is the first in NBA history.

Sometimes, Wang Meng is a little skeptical that this Jeremy Lin is also hanging.

Due to Jeremy Lin's strong outburst, he quickly made headlines in major media, and on the 16th, Jeremy Lin was also invited to participate in the All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge and became Wang Meng's teammate.

Wang Meng originally supported the whole of China in the NBA after Yao Ming retired, as for Yi Di, he has long been forgotten by fans in the Mavericks' bench list, and now, there is another Jeremy Lin, although he is only a Chinese-American, but this does not prevent Chinese fans from loving Jeremy Lin, some people have already regarded Jeremy Lin and Wang Meng as a Chinese double star, as a hopeful figure for the rise of Chinese basketball.

What's even more remarkable is that on February 17, the Hornets collided with the New York Knicks, and the recent matchup between Wang Meng and Lin Crazy has become a battle of concern for the whole of China, and the degree of attention of this battle is even higher than the 24vs23 highlight that the league has been playing.

Stern is smart and he's very good at appreciating the appetite of the Chinese fans.

Prior to this game, the Knicks had won seven straight games under Jeremy Lin's leadership, and all six games that Lin started were all wins. Since the end of the thirteen-game winning streak, the Hornets have played 7 more games and got a proud record of 2 losses and 5 wins, and the Hornets' ranking on the record list has also risen sharply, surpassing the Grizzlies to rank fourth in the West, which is directly related to Wang Meng's stable performance.

On the evening of the 16th, Wang Meng followed the team to New York, the home of the Knicks, which is really beautiful, after all, it is the largest city in the United States. Wang Meng sometimes has a feeling that it seems that a team's cities are better than New Orleans, but this is just his delusion, people are always dissatisfied with their own environment, in fact, there are many teams in the city is much worse than New Orleans, the most typical is the Pistons of Motor City, the city where the Timberwolves are located are not as good as New Orleans, these small cities are still far from New Orleans, the second largest port city in the United States.

It is said that the Nets have long intended to relocate to New York, and their Russian money is already working on various matters for the construction of the court, of course, this has nothing to do with Wang Meng.

Before coming to New York, Wang Meng once received a call from Yao Ming, even if he was about to retire, Yao Ming still had contact with many players in the league, and Wang Meng was no exception.

Yao Ming had a long conversation with Wang Meng on the phone, including where he was heading now.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Meng thought about using a magic medical kit to cure Yao Ming's injury, and then pulled him to the Hornets to play, so that although Oden's playing time may be greatly reduced, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, but Wang Meng now has no points to exchange for a medical kit, so he can only think about it, and even if Yao Ming is really cured, with Yao Ming's worth, it is definitely a 10 million-level contract can be signed, and the Hornets now have 30 million-level contract players, There is really no ability to sign another one, so Wang Meng can only put this idea aside for the time being.

Chatting and chatting, the two discussed the issue of Jeremy Lin.

Yao Ming's meaning is very simple, for Jeremy Lin, although he is only a Chinese-American, with American nationality can actually only be counted as an American, but at least he has yellow skin, he keeps the blood of Chinese, there are really too few such people in the alliance, counting Yi Jianlian is only three, so Yao Ming hopes that Wang Meng can try to have a good relationship with Jeremy Lin. This made Wang Meng feel very depressed, Yao Ming's words seemed to mean that he was like a wicked person, and he saw that everyone went back to offend.

There is another major event, which Wang Meng and Yao Ming attach great importance to, that is, the 2012 London Olympics.

"Wang Meng, without me in this Olympic Games, the overall strength of the Chinese team immediately dropped by a big level, and Yi Jianlian couldn't play at the level for a long time, so the Chinese team can only rely on you." Yao Ming said very seriously.
