At noon the next day, Zhang Yu remembered that the Wumao girl had dinner with her yesterday, and almost forgot about it.

He didn't go to the main entrance of the hotel to pick up the other party, and drove sneakily around the back door, because he knew that there must be a paparazzi ambushing at the entrance of the hotel.

Taylor. Swift was a little upset, and made it look like he was cheating, and he was so sneaky about eating.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

The five-haired girl arrived at the place, sat down and asked directly.

"Chasing."

Taylor. Swift obviously misunderstood this sentence, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was self-inflicted, and her face turned red when she heard this, but fortunately, she smeared a lot of foundation, and Zhang Yu was stunned and didn't see it.

"At the All-Star Game in Phoenix, I'll be on stage, do you have any show in place?"

Wumao girl changed the topic, Zhang Yu was a little surprised, she didn't expect the other party to appear in the All-Star Game. But Taylor. Swift's words really reminded him that Zhang Yu had also watched All-Stars before, and when the players played, they had to dance twice, and those black players liked to be funny, especially O'Neal, who had the most tricks.

"No, I'm a rookie, and it's not my turn to think of this kind of showmanship, and I don't like to be funny in public."

"So you're an introvert."

"It's not introverted, it's more traditional."

Wumao girl sneered: "Usually your remarks, I have heard a lot before, but I really can't see it." ”

Zhang Yu was slightly embarrassed: "That's a strategy, I haven't grown to the point where I can defeat any opponent, but I don't want to lose, so I will find a way to use every move." Maybe I'm not a good person in the first place, but sometimes it's not bad to be a bad guy. At least now few people dare to bully me, and I haven't been bothered by injuries. ”

Taylor. Swift asked with interest, "You except for basketball." What else do you like? ”

"Except for basketball, it's probably a video game, right?"

"You boys like to play games, don't you like to read books or listen to music?"

Zhang Yu scratched his head: "Reading? Growing up, my least favorite thing was reading, especially related to mathematics, and I could listen to music. ”

Taylor. Swift felt that the two didn't seem to have a common language, which was not good, and immediately said, "Have you heard my song?" ”

"Listen, that complicated song is good."

Taylor. Swift squirted out a sip of red wine, his face scornful: "That's not my song." That's Avril's, and our songs are far from the touch. ”

"Really? How do I sound the same? ”

On February 7, Zhang Yu was on the way to Portland, and got the list of winners of the "Eastern Conference of the Week" released by the league last week, as expected, from February 1 to February 7, the Knicks were tough battles every game, Zhang Yu played an average of 34 minutes per game, scoring 36 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He was the best player of the week in the East, and it was also his fourth time winning the Weekly Award.

On February 8, the Knicks won away against the Trail Blazers, and Zhang Yu only played 27 minutes. He had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

D'Antoni intends to let Zhang Yu, who has played half a season, have more rest before the All-Star break, and this game began to control his playing time.

February 10th. The Knicks lost 102-110 away to the Golden State Warriors, who were also playing crazy runs, and this meeting was different from the last time. Margeti is back, and Valkyrie is back in shape. The Warriors played a mercury-like offense at home, giving the New York Knicks, who were also running and shooting, a head-on blow.

The Knicks trailed by 19 points in the third quarter, and D'Antoni lost the game in the fourth quarter.

On Feb. 11, the Knicks played back-to-back games against the league's underdogs, the Los Angeles Clippers.

D'Antoni did not send Zhang Yu on the court at all in this game, not only Zhang Yu, but also Crawford, who will participate in the All-Star, also did not play, and the two sat on the court together with Wallace.

Crawford, who has averaged 19.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 35 minutes per game so far this season, has had a better number of games in the past than this year and has not been selected as an All-Star, but this year, with the light of Zhang Yu, the Sixth Man of the Year has been selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, but it is difficult to say how many minutes of playing time he can get.

Even Zhang Yu has been worried about this problem after being selected as an All-Star, and this time the head coach of the East is the assistant coach of the Cavaliers who is currently ranked first in the East. Brown, that is to say, the head coach of the All-Star this time is actually James, and Zhang Yu has a bad premonition.

The Knicks played the Clippers, even if the three main players did not play, they still played a smooth and fast offense, this year's Clippers' record is comparable to last year's Knicks, the goal is to be the first from the bottom, and they have indeed done this, and they have only won 8 games since the start of the season, just ranking first in the West.

The final score was 114:95, and the Knicks still played a big score to win the opponent, with a game-high 32 points and 6 assists, Wilson Chandler 28 points, and David Lee 25 points and 15 rebounds.

After playing the game with the Clippers, in addition to Zhang Yu and Crawford, as well as Xiao Tudou, who participated in the "Slam Dunk Contest", the other players will have four or five days off and can rest at home.

On February 13, 2009, this year's All-Star Games will be held in Phoenix, the home of the Phoenix Suns, who are hosting the NBA All-Star Weekend for the third time, after being selected from Toronto, New York, Oakland and Milwaukee.

On the first day of All-Star Weekend, February 13, the "Rookie Challenge" will be held, and the first-year team led by Zhang Yu will challenge Kevin. A sophomore team led by Durant, and it's an all-star appetizer.

On the 14th, there will be a "Celebrity Game", "Shooting Star Competition", "Skills Challenge", "Three-Point Shot Competition", "Slam Dunk Contest", on this day, the All-Star is considered to have entered the climax, especially the "Three-Point Contest" and "Slam Dunk Contest", which have received no less attention than the All-Star Game.

Number 15. There will be an All-Star Game, Western All-Stars vs. Eastern All-Stars. It was the finale and the most-watched All-Star Game.

February 12th. Just the day before the All-Star break, Zhang Yu was given a league-specific phone number, and a special person would guide him on what to do for the next three days, in case he was too busy to get around, or simply couldn't find anyone.

Many black stars really don't have that high IQs, and they may travel for business.

Zhang Yu felt that this thing was like a dog chain, used to tie them down.

All players who participate in the All-Star are on 24 hours a day, and the league has a special coordination team that will remind you what to do at what time. If you have any questions, you can also take the initiative to ask.

Zhang Yu participated in the All-Star for the first time, the first thing to do was to have a well-fitting suit, which he had received a notice half a month ago, Zhang Yu was not worried about this, if there was a selection of the most handsome in the league, how could he be ranked in the top three.

So don't say that he won't hit the shirt, he can't wait to collide with someone, that can show his difference.

It's better to bump into James. Guaranteed LBJ died of shame on the spot!

On the night of the 12th, Zhang Yu and Crawford, Nate. Robinson and Wilson, who competed in the sophomore team at the rookie game. Chandler, the three of them had already stayed in the hotel arranged by the alliance, where he met Yao Ming and Brooke, who had arrived at the hotel one step ahead of them. Lopez. The two also wore suits and leather shoes.

As soon as he walked into the splendid hotel hall, Yao Ming immediately greeted him: "Xiao Yu, you want to be in the west." We'll be able to play together this year and now we'll be rivals again in a few days. ”

At this time, Kobe Bryant came out of nowhere: "He's going to be in the west." Wouldn't I have been pushed to the bench too? ”

The boss said this, I don't know if he was moved or outspoken. Or according to Zhang Yu's black belly, this is to sow discord.

Before the words fell, Wade floated over like a ghost, and no one saw where he came from, only heard him say faintly: "My main force, boy, you actually robbed my main force?" I lost two million, a whole two million! ”

Zhang Yu smiled: "Just donate to my foundation, it will feel better to think about it like this." ”

Yao Ming interjected: "Xiao Yu, how much playing time will you get for your starter?" I'm afraid that after playing the first few minutes, it will be the second half, and it will be a few minutes as well. ”

Wade felt a little better at this time, and still said quietly: "The big man said this, I'm really comfortable, you wait to watch me perform." ”

At the dinner that day, thanks to this time, Zhang Yu kept sending sugar-coated cannonballs, except for LeBron. The gap between James and him was too big, and even Garnett and Pierce symbolically greeted him at night, and they were finally not isolated.

These bigwigs have formed their own circles, and Zhang Yu found at the dinner party that these guys are generally three or five people with good relationships.

Zhang Yu didn't want to integrate into them, they were all old guys who were almost thirty or thirty, and they couldn't enter a few times on this occasion, Zhang Yu thought maliciously in his heart.

Yao Ming and Zhang Yu have a good relationship, and they are compatriots, so they are naturally together. The Little Giants' teammates Brooks and Scola were also on their side, and Black Beans and Diamond were both selected to the second-year rookie team. Robinson, and Wilson, who also competed in the sophomore team. Chandler and first-year team Brooke. López, six or seven of them just got together.

The Nets have only Brooke on the team this year. Lopez entered the All-Star alone, and even Carter was not selected, he had the best relationship with Zhang Yu, so he naturally came over.

※※※※※

On the evening of February 13, the first day of All-Star, the "Rookie Challenge" as an appetizer will begin later.

The rookie game is not like the main game, there are not so many pre-game performances, Zhang Yu met Taylor before the game. Swift, the rising star of the music scene, is not yet eligible to perform in the main event, and her performance time is at halftime in the rookie game.

The two chatted for a few minutes before the game, and it was obvious that the singer was also a little nervous. Taylor. Swift really began to become popular, that is, it took nearly a year, which was about the same time as Zhang Yu entered the NBA.

"You sing well, it's okay if you sing out of tune, at least it proves that you are not lip-syncing. There is a big power in our country, who can sing the dead alive, so she still has the courage to stand up and perform, and she really sings. ”

Zhang Yu's words made the Wumao girl angry again. glared at him angrily and said, "I won't go out of tune." You wait to see me perform. ”

"Okay, but you'll have to watch my show first. The sophomore team has won the rookie game for six years in a row, and I'm going to break that record this year. ”

"By the way, your coach is not LeBron. James? I heard he has a grudge against you? "Taylor. Swift asked suddenly.

Zhang Yu burst into tears when he heard this, who is the coach of the two rookie teams that the TMD league has not announced this year? Zhang Yu was originally very curious, but when he learned the answer yesterday, he immediately had the urge to refuse to fight! Because the coach of the first-year team is none other than LeBron, who has a deep gap with him. James.

The words of the five-haired girl hit his sad place, and Zhang Yu couldn't help but grab Taylor. Swift's shoulders shook twice and said, "It's miserable! Do you know? Rookie game and main game. The head coach is a gorilla, and if I don't do it, I'm going to be played to death by him! ”

Taylor. Swift was pressed on his shoulders by Zhang Yu's two hands, only to feel his heart beating faster, and a layer of foundation couldn't hide the blush.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to prepare for the game, and I'm waiting to see you perform at halftime."

Zhang Yu reacted, such a move didn't seem to be very polite, and after saying it cheekily, like a rabbit. Turned around and disappeared with a smoke, leaving a silly Taylor. Swift hasn't reacted yet.

"Taylor, go into the dressing room and put on your makeup."

After a minute, her assistant came over. only to bring the five-haired girl back to reality.

Zhang Yu's side stood in the locker room for a long time, and he didn't dare to go in. He couldn't call James "coach" like that.

"What, you're blocking the door. How do other people get in? ”

Zhang Yu was still tangled at the door, and suddenly an extremely familiar accent came from behind him.

Look back. Who else could there be if not a gorilla?

Actually, LeBron. James was also struggling, and when the league sued him to coach this year's first-year team, he refused. But the alliance's decision, if there is no justification, David Stern obviously refuses to agree.

Wanted to get LeBron. James is the head coach of the first-year team, and it is David who is paying attention to it. Stern himself, James dared to spoil his good deeds? Hehe, don't even think about the four-step layup after that, let alone four steps, and the next three-step layup will also blow him into four steps.

The two of them looked at each other, quickly turned their heads away, pushed the door and entered the locker room.

Zhang Yu went in and saw that the two of them had not arrived, and the players in the room were already in place.

Beasley and Brooke. López even wondered if Zhang Yu and James were fighting in a place where no one was around?

It's not impossible, Beasley also had the idea of beating Zhang Yu at the beginning, and I believe that James now has the same idea.

James clapped his hands, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "The game is about to start, I think everyone knows that the first-year team has lost to the second-year team for six consecutive years, and it is said that your draft is not inferior to the draft year of the 03 golden generation, and you are the team that is most likely to break this record." So you will show your skills in a while, and let everyone see, do you really have that strong strength? ”

Zhang Yu secretly pouted in his heart: "This kind of pre-game mobilization is simply terrible!" ”

But in the locker room, except for Zhang Yu, everyone else didn't dare not give face to the gorilla, and applauded one after another.

James looked around and found that Zhang Yu was the only one who did not applaud, and the idea of pressing him to the bench immediately rose in his heart.

"I know some of you are at odds with me, but I can say to everyone that I don't deliberately embarrass any player, and whoever thinks they have the quality will show it to everyone and beat the sophomore team."

Zhang Yu couldn't sit still, the gorilla's words seemed to be very childish, at this time he couldn't help but express his position, and immediately stood up from the bench, clapped his hands, and signaled that he had something to say......

However, just one sentence made James can't help but want to step forward and kill this damn rabbit, only to hear Zhang Yu shout: "The gorilla team will win!" ”

Zhang Yu raised his arms and shouted, the other players were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed, and they all stood up and coaxed Zhang Yu, shouting: "The Gorilla team will win!" Long live the Gorillas! ”

The first-year team rushed out of the locker room shouting "Gorilla team wins". James is right, in the eyes of the outside world, this draft led by Zhang Yu is indeed the one with the most talents since 2003.

Needless to say, Derek. Rose is also a talented player who has been in the running for the Rookie of the Year in other years, as well as Westbrook, a violent point guard who is on par with Rose, and an All-Star in the future. Plus Kevin. Lefou, Brooke. López, OJ Mayo, the future all-star seedlings are no less than the 03 generation,

Except for a few people who showed signs of stardom in the first year, others like Roy. Hibbert, Serge. Ibaka, Nikolai. Batum, Javier. Mickey, DJ Augustin, and JJ Hickson, although they were not selected as All-Stars, are also very good and are likely to play in the future.

At the All-Star Rookie Game ceremony, after several singers performed, the first-grade team came out first, and then the second-grade team.

At the appearance ceremony, LeBron. James's arrangement made Zhang Yu have a different opinion of him, because the gorilla actually ranked him last, obviously completely according to his personal strength, and did not play tricks on him.

Derek. Rose was the first to run out of the court, and he was greeted by the cheers of the fans in the audience, although Tanhualang's table this year is not as good as the phenomenal Zhang Yu, but his table is still obvious to all, if it is not unlucky and Zhang Yu in the same year, even if it is with last year's Durant.

As the players came out one by one, each player was greeted with a loud decibel shout from the fans of the "American Airlines Center......

Although the Suns fans occupy the advantage of the home court, they can also get at most 30% of the tickets, and many fans from other teams have come to the scene to cheer for their team's future stars. (To be continued......)
