Chapter 273: All-Star Weekend Begins

The All-Star Weekend is divided into four days, divided into four parts, on the evening of February 11, 2010, US time, the first game of the All-Star Game, the All-Star Wheelchair Challenge, this game is mainly to make everyone care about the disability sports game, very meaningful, but because of the heavy snow in Dallas, so only a few stars attended the wheelchair basketball game, Zhang Kong is also one of the invited guests, for such a meaningful game, he will still participate.

The next day, on the night of the 12th, there were three more high-level games in a row, namely the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the NBDL DreamWorks Skills Competition. Originally, he didn't want to participate in the Rookie Challenge, because he and his level were obviously more than a head above these rookies.

But Zhang Kong participated, and it didn't seem good for him Ross not to participate, so Rose also said through his agent that he would definitely participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, so that the lineup of the second-year team of the All-Star Rookie Challenge needed to be changed.

The rookie first-year team gave out the rookie team this year's rookie player list is Omi Cosby from the Kings and their core Tyrek Evans this year, Stephen Curry from the Warriors, and DeJuan Blair from the Spurs. Brandon Jennings from the Bucks and Tyre Gibson from the Offyear Test, the main reason why the Bulls traded away Tyrus Thomas was to make way for the rookie.

There are also James Harden from the Thunder, Jonny Flynn from the Timberwolves, and Younas Jerebko from the Pistons, these players are all rookies who have performed well in the team this year, but unfortunately this year's champion Griffin season was reimbursed.

There are also a lot of players on the sophomore team, from the Heat's sophomore Michael Beasley, the Knicks' Danilo Gallinari, the Nets' Brook Lopez, the Grizzlies' OJ Mayo and his teammate Gasol Jr., the Timberwolves' Kevin Love, the Warriors' Anthony Morrow, originally the league thought that Zhang Kong and Rose would not participate in the All-Star Game, so there are two backup players.

Russell Westbrook of the Thunder and Eric Gordon of the Clippers are their backup players, but Zhang Kong and Rose participate, then they can only be abandoned, and the coaching side is served by the chief assistant coach of the East and West head coaches, that is, the chief assistant coach of Stan Van Gundy and George Carr to serve as the head coach of the first-year team and the second-year team, and the assistant coach's vote for the first-year team is the assistant coach of the first-year team is this year's super scorer, Kevin Durant, The assistant coach of the second-year team is Dragon King Chris Bosh, and the number 13 is the very familiar program of the individual skills competition.

It is also called training, and legend has it that the training on the last day before the Middle East and West All-Star Game starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, first by the Eastern Stars team into training, then by the Western Stars into training, then the NBDL All-Star Game, and then in the evening begins the Shooting Star Competition, Skills Challenge, Long Shot Competition, Slam Dunk Contest and the Horse, which has just joined in recent years.

But today has nothing to do with Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong didn't have a game today, he just went into the field for a round of training on behalf of the Eastern Stars, and waited until the night of the 14th, which is the heaviest game of the All-Star Weekend, the East and West All-Star Challenge.

In China, February 13, 2010, is the 10-year Chinese New Year, and in the United States because of the 12-hour time difference, on the 12th half of the day just after the New Year, Zhang Kong has been considered the New Year, but the New Year, Zhang Kong is not idle, because he still has a game to play, the All-Star Rookie Challenge, after all, is also the level of the All-Star.

Zhang Kong will not let go of any opportunity to earn survival points, and it seems that these rookies in this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge are not his opponents, even Rose, who has the highest voice in his team, is not his opponent.

In the team's locker room, it is obvious that the rookies on their side are divided into several small groups, and the head coach's ability is seriously weakened on a stage like All-Star Weekend, and they are not more to guide the team to win, and the coach who is selected as an All-Star is just an honor, originally Jim O'Brien should have become the head coach of the Eastern Stars, but when the letter was sent, the Pacers were not the first in the East, and the first in the East was the Celtics, and the Celtics head coach was, That's why it was sent to Stan Van Gundy, because in their opinion, the Pacers could go down the rankings.

But who would have thought that the Pacers' ranking has risen recently, which is a bit surprising and firmly sits at the top of the league.

At this point, it was impossible to change, so the head coach of the Eastern Stars side could only be Big Van Gundy, while the head coach of the sophomore team could only be Patrick Ewing, and the assistant coach was Chris Bosh, the star of the Raptors.

These players in the sophomore team have all been drafted, and most of the players have also played against each other in the NCAA, so they can be said to be quite familiar people, and players such as Gallinari and Gasol Jr. have also played against each other in Europe before, although Gallinari is Italian, and Gasol is Spanish, but as Europeans in the United States, their relationship is not bad, and the relationship between countries in Europe is definitely stronger than that in Asia...... So the whole locker room was divided into three small factions, Rose, Beasley, Lopez, Le Fujian, Morrow, these American players got together, Gallinari and Gasol Jr. got together, Mayo because he and Gasol Jr. were teammates, so they scurried back and forth in the two circles, only Zhang Kong leaned on his wardrobe alone, slowly tying his shoelaces, others looked like Zhang Kong might be slipping there, in fact, Zhang Kong was observing...... Who to observe? Observe Ewen!

"I used to hear that this old boy's nickname was a gorilla, but now that I look at it, it really looks like an orangutan!" Zhang Kong Euin's protruding and turned up big thick lips, Zhang Kong couldn't help but maliciously think in his heart, is he usually like those orangutans on TV, often turn his lips up to scare others...... The other two circles are happy, and Zhang Kong is very happy to entertain himself here! If it's in the team's dressing room, divided into so many factions, then the manager can't sit still.

But now it's just the All-Star Challenge, and after the game, they went their separate ways, and neither Ewing nor Bosh said anything.

But if Ewing knew that Zhang Kong was there, maybe he wouldn't be able to sit so steadily~ You see that he is scratching his head now, that action, that demeanor, except for the suit, he doesn't see anything like a person...... Just when everyone thought that the game would start so dullly, Rose actually took the initiative to walk in front of Zhang Kong from his wardrobe, and now people know that Zhang Kong steadily pressed Rose in the league, whether it was offense, assists, passes, blocks or others, even the general comment, Zhang Kong steadily pressed Rose, in the entire sophomore team, only Zhang Kong and Rose entered the All-Star Game, but Rose was only selected as a substitute, When he was still selected, he said that he might not participate in the Rookie Challenge because he was too tired, but Zhang Kong didn't say anything directly, as a starter, he still continued to participate in the Rookie Challenge, and there was one game, he participated in all of them, and the attitude and strength of the two competed, so he put Rose in it.

So now when everyone sees Ross coming to Zhang Kong, they are all maliciously guessing, is Ross going to trouble Zhang Kong?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, in line with the principle of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things, even You Zai and Bosh have no intention of coming up to dissuade them, unless the two of them really do it, but this is unlikely.

"Haven't been officially introduced, Derrick Rose!" To everyone's surprise, Rose actually walked in front of Zhang Kong, stretched out his hand to Zhang Kong and said, Rose as last year's champion, he is not stupid, although the ball IQ and IQ are not proportional, but it is not too bad, the players who can get the champion, some of the ball skills are not very good, but the IQ is not low.

It is very unwise to conflict with Zhang Kong here at this time, Ross will not conflict with Zhang Kong for his own future, and now he is here mainly to put some pressure on Zhang Kong, but obviously his way of pressurizing is useless to Zhang Kong.

"Zhang Kong!" After Zhang Kong finished saying his name, he also stretched out his hand, and after shaking it with Rose, Zhang Kong let go.

Originally, Zhang Kong only thought that Rose came to say hello, but he didn't expect Rose to sit directly next to Zhang Kong.

"I'll play point guard for a while, if you want the ball, take it with your ability!" Rose whispered in Zhang Kong's ear, this can be regarded as a threat, because Zhang Kong's height is too high, so he was arranged by Ewing to be a scoring guard, and the point guard is Derrick Rose, such a guard combination is really dazzling in normal times, but now there is a problem.

"No problem!" Zhang Kong glanced at Rose next to him, and didn't refute it, but responded lightly, see you on the field!
