Paul is going to college, which is not surprising news for Zhuang Fei, although the current point guard in the 2003 draft prediction market is also excellent, it can be said that in 2003, the draft year known as the platinum generation, the Wake Forest High School guard is generally believed to be a player in the league's lottery zone as long as he runs, it can be said that the situation of the high school guard is the same as Kobe Bryant's situation in 1996, At that time, Kobe Bryant chose to enter the NBA, and at this time, Chris Paul chose to enter the university.\\

Zhuang Fei understands very well that this guard is a die-hard fan of Wake Forest University, and in this case, it is impossible for him to sacrifice the opportunity to enter Wake Forest University in order to enter the NBA a year or two early, so when the guard excitedly said his future plans, Zhuang Fei also expressed encouragement and nodded to this guard.

And at this time, LeBron James on the side was silent after hearing Paul's words, and his eyes seemed to be a little dim, because he had just accepted the invitation from the McDonald's All-Star Game for high school students not long ago, and this year will be James' second time participating in the All-Star Game of high school, and the NCAA also stipulates that as long as the player who participates in two or more All-Star games in high school will automatically lose the opportunity to enter the NCAA, In other words, this year, the strongest high school student in history can only participate in the NBA draft.

Of course, now that James is a little depressed, Zhuang Fei naturally saw some emotional changes in this young man, so he also patted the young man's back encouragingly, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, it is understandable for any player to make any decision.

"If you lose something, you will naturally gain something, there is no need to be too persistent," Zhuang Fei also smiled slightly and said. For James, perhaps skipping straight from high school to the NBA is the best option. After hearing Zhuang Fei's words, James was stunned for a moment and then nodded. The look on his face also changed, seeing this change in James, Zhuang Fei also nodded secretly, and secretly praised in his heart that this little guy's psychological adjustment ability is very unusual.

This year's All-Star Rookie Game has not yet started, and at this time Zhuang Fei is chatting with these young high school players in the stands, it can be said that for a while, Zhuang Fei's situation was quickly caught by the live audience and TV broadcast cameras, but at this time, no one in this group noticed this, or everyone was very happy at this time.

"It's really a group of pure players full of dreams," when Zhuang Fei glanced at this group of young people again, he sighed in his heart and said, these young people have not yet experienced the baptism of NCAA and NBA, it can be said that the pursuit of these people at this time is the simplest, although many NCAA fans think that NCAA basketball is the purest. But this is also relative. Of course, it is difficult to compare non-professional games such as high school leagues and low leagues with NCAA or NBA, but from this point of view, Zhuang Fei likes these young people very much.

Zhuang Fei's group of people sat together very happily, and Zhuang Fei also left behind the resentment that the Boston Celtics players did not accompany him to watch the game. And it was at this time that this year's All-Star rookie contest began.

Although the quality of this year's first-year rookies is not as good as that of the sophomores, after all, the second-year rookies even have three All-Star players, Yao Ming Arenas and Pau Gasol are all All-Star players, of course, although these three will not play much time in this game, but like the remaining sophomores such as Tony Parker, Kwame Brown, Kirilenko, Richard Jefferson. Tyson Chandler and Jason Richardson and Eddie Curry, Randolph, Joe Johnson and a group of absolutely strong players, this year's first-year team in addition to the Bulls' Jay Williams and the Wizards' Stoudemire and the Magic's Caron Butler really don't have too many players who can get their hands on it, although Nene and Boozer have performed very well this year, but these two are really a little harder than the second-year inside.

In terms of strength, it is obvious that the first-year team cannot be compared with the second-year team. Putting aside the absolute strength of the two sides, just looking at the experience of the two teams, the sophomore team is also a complete first-year team, most of the players in the second-year team are already the core players of their respective teams, and there are very few role players, while the first-year team is mostly role players in their respective teams, and Jay Williams and Butler are the leading players of their respective teams in this group of people, and the two sides are too different in terms of level.

So before the game, most bookmakers predicted that the All-Star sophomore team would lose to the first grade in today's game, and the margin would definitely be more than 20 points.

In fact, the trend of this game is also going according to this prediction, although the All-Star game, especially the rookie game, is difficult to let the two teams really play, but even under the sophomore intentionally released water, this group of first-year players is still very difficult, and the player is already 15 points behind the sophomore team in the middle of the game.

Again, the sophomore team didn't give it their all, and if the team had really given it their all, the score wouldn't have been like this.

"Coach, this first-year team is too weak, and the level of the rookies in the class of 2002 is really not very good."

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Zhuang Fei shook his head with a wry smile when he heard Paul's evaluation of this game in his ear, the results of the All-Star Rookie Game are naturally related to the strength of the rookie, but in addition to strength, most of them are determined by attitude, judging from the current performance of the two teams in this game, the first grade not only lost the strength but also lost the attitude, this team looks lazy, and it seems that it is not ready for this game at all.

And it is also such a big disparity in the All-Star Rookie Challenge in which the sophomore team finally defeated the first-year team 156-114, and the MVP of this game was once again won by Kirilenko, who tied with Yao Ming for MVA last year, the all-around forward played an amazing quadruple-double last year, and this year, the player played an all-around stats of 21 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists and 7 steals and blocks in the All-Star Rookie Challenge. It can be said that this player is the main point of attack in the second year of this game. The other two Celtics All-Star players in this game only scored 10 points in total, and this game can be called a slaughter.

This game made James and Paul very disappointed, they are different from Zhuang Fei, they are just a junior young player, although at this time let him say that the All-Star Game is still too early for these young talents, the first honor they can compete for after entering the NBA is to enter the All-Star Rookie Game, it can be said that these people are still looking forward to this game, and even a little over-expected.

The game was not very exciting, so after the game, Zhuang Fei invited these young players, which made these people calm down a lot of disappointment.

This year's Atlanta All-Star League attaches great importance to it, from David Stern personally asked Zhuang Fei to be a special guest and then invited this group of high school players and the few people who continued to take Jordan and Wake Forest from the University of North Carolina before the game, it can be seen that David Stern is ready to play a turnaround game this year, and by the way, it is also a very good fan base for Charlotte to appear another NBA team a year later, in this case, the All-Star is very lively.

It's just that compared to this kind of lively appearance, this all-star is a lot lacking on the inside.

The first-year players of the All-Star Rookie Game were not excited, and the same was true for the skills game that followed the next day, and the league set up a new game at this year's Atlanta All-Star Game - the All-Star Skills Challenge, which was originally designed to attract most of the league's top point guards to participate, but in the end, the league's top point guards in this game were only Jason Kidd. The other two participants, Tony Parker and the Timberwolves' Reedno, and the Bulls' Jae Williams, are not considered the league's top point guards.

And it is also very disappointing that these four people faced this competition for the first time and made mistakes again and again, and finally Kidd won the championship of the skills challenge with a score of 36s, and Zhuang Fei, who watched the whole process of this game in the stands, also scratched his head, according to Kidd's results, it is estimated that he will not even be able to enter the final in the future, but this year, in addition to Kidd, the best results of the other three people are actually 40s.

The All-Star Skills Contest is the first time it has been held, and it is understandable that this kind of thing has happened, but the highlight of the All-Star Day 2 is also a disappointment, because Szzelbiak, who has won three consecutive three-point contests, announced that he would pay tribute to history and decide to withdraw from the three-point contest in the future, and the dunk contest is also no bright spot.

When Zhuang Fei got the list of participants in the three-point contest and slam dunk contest in the stands, he was also shocked when he saw the Timberwolves' small forward Pierce on the court.

"This guy won't really be able to complete the three-point contest and slam dunk contest in this All-Star slam, right?!" (To be continued)
