On February 13, 2009, West Coast time, All-Star Weekend kicked off.

The real opening ceremony was before the start of the main competition on February 15, and the rest of the time from the 13th onwards was an occasional small show. According to the schedule, the first thing to start is the NBA Fan Carnival, which will be held from 12 o'clock at noon, the stars are basically not participating, they are preparing for the main game, the protagonists of the Fan Carnival are the fans, the NBA official invited some old fans and die-hard fans from all over the world, they will show some small gifts they brought, and the big screen continues to play the tidbits of the last All-Star.

The fan carnival is also very distinctive, especially the tidbits broadcast on the big screen, which are unknown to the fans, and the locker rooms of the NBA teams and the All-Star Game will be shown on it, and the usual funny scenes of the stars cause fans to laugh from time to time.

Starting at half past five in the afternoon, the first highlight of the All-Star will be the All-Star McDonald's Charity Race.

Most fans think that the All-Star Game is a combination of the Rookie Challenge, the Technology Challenge, the Three-Point Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest and the main game, but it's not that simple. The NBA has become a sports culture, and the All-Star Game is the biggest festival of the event, so how can the All-Star Game be so simple in the face of a global fan group?

Take this year's All-Star Weekend as an example, this year's All-Star Game actually started on February 12 and lasted until the 16th, lasting five days.

The first day of the program featured an all-star fan interactive entertainment rally at the Phoenix Convention Center, followed by an NBA/WNBA wheelchair star game at the American Airlines Center, home of the Suns, featuring retired stars, including Magic Johnson, Stockton, and Gary Payton, each of whom is a well-known point guard.

On Feb. 13, the stars are out to continue their community service, and the All-Star Fan Interactive Entertainment Rally is still held at the Phoenix Convention Center Arena, and the fan carnival takes a long time, usually starting in the early hours of the morning, sometimes spanning eight or nine hours, but because of the cheap ticket prices and the occasional star show, fans who can't afford an All-Star game will still be there to cheer.

After that, it was the McDonald's All-Star Charity Race, and at 7 o'clock that night, it was the highlight of the day, the All-Star Rookie Game. The activities of the rookie game are not over for the day, and there is also a development league skills game, but usually there are not many people watching the game at this time, which is also the sadness of the NBDL, and the stars basically have no fan support.

The All-Star Game has reached its climax since February 14th, and the day's activities are the most, with a dense schedule, starting with the Fan Carnival in the early morning, and at half past five in the morning, the East All-Stars will enter the field for training, and an hour later, the West All-Stars will have a training game to warm up for the next day's All-Star Game.

After that, there was the Development League All-Star Game, in fact, this game was very exciting, because they were completely non-defensive, and the players were also very good at offense, and many fans who went to the scene for the first time felt that the NBDL All-Star Game was more exciting than the NBA All-Star Game. However, American fans have a more dizzy appetite, and they are used to seeing flashy offensive battles on the streets, and it is the NBA All-Star Game that catches their eye.

Then in the evening, starting at 7 o'clock, the American Airlines Center will hold a mixed shooting competition, a horse competition, a skills challenge, a three-point contest, and a slam dunk contest, which is the first climax of All-Star Weekend. The real climax is the NBA All-Star Game on the 15th, which generally starts at 7 o'clock to 11 or 2 o'clock, and the last fan carnival is held on the 16th, when the annual NBA All-Star Game is officially closed.

Chamberlain is going to play the rookie challenge, so he entered the locker room on the evening of the 13th to prepare, this All-Star rookie game has a total of two people to participate in the All-Star game, generally speaking, if this happens, the rookie who participates in the main game must be the locker room leading brother, after all, if you can be selected into the main game, you must be much stronger than the rookies.

Of course, the boss of the sophomore team is Chamberlain, and no one dares to grab this position by others who borrow their courage, Yi Jianlian was selected for the All-Star Game, and Durant is very famous, but both of them are introverted and low-key, so let the two of them be the boss and others will not agree.

For Yi Jianlian to be selected for the All-Star Game, the other players are not convinced, yes, Yi Jianlian played well this year, at least he is justified in joining the Rookie Challenge, but in the hearts of these people, Yi Jianlian is not worthy of playing the All-Star Game, so these people in the locker room squeezed him out, no one talked to him, even if someone said something to him, it was a yin and yang weirdness.

With forty minutes to go, Durant, Yi Jianlian, Al Horford, Al Thorton, Teddy Young, Ronnie Starkey, Yaaron Brooks, and Louis Scola were all waiting inside, only Chamberlain was delayed. Brook Lopez of the first-year team also arrived in the locker room of the second-year team, and he had a good relationship with Thorton and Thaddeus, and walked in together.

Seeing that Chamberlain was not in the locker room, Lopez didn't want to leave, he directly pouted and sneered: "We have a lot of big stars here, but it's not good to play big names with teammates, right?" It's not easy for everyone to play together, at least discuss the tactics and how to play later, right? Look, our core hasn't come yet, how can we discuss? ”

Because of the relationship between his younger brother Robin Lopez, Brook Lopez has a very stiff relationship with Chamberlain, West and others, and now Wei Shengmei has broken up with Robin, as for the reason is self-evident, West has to tell the reporter every time he scores a goal that it is dedicated to 'Wei Shengmei'. Although it is the younger brother who is green on his head and not his own, Brooke is a good older brother, and he has a very hot temper, and he will fight against Chamberlain when he finds an opportunity.

Da Lopez is very good at talking, he is from the position of the team, and a few words have won the approval of others. Durant glanced at him with disdain, what the hell are you pretending to be garlic? This is a second-year team, do you have a part in talking?

Yi Jianlian didn't want to see Chamberlain isolated, so he helped him explain: "Z must have something to delay, he is not the kind of person who plays a big name." ”

For Yi Jianlian's teammate, Da Lopez has always lacked respect and doesn't want to gain his friendship, Yi Jianlian was attacked by the media because of the All-Star vote before, Da Lopez took the lead in isolating him in the team, one is because of hating Wu and Wu, who made Chamberlain and Yi Jianlian compatriots? The second is jealousy of Yi Jianlian's connections, he thinks that his level is higher than Yi Jianlian, but he doesn't even have all-star qualifications.

At that moment, he pursed his lips and said, "Did I say that Z played a big name?" Don't put your thoughts on me, Z never plays big, he's a low-key guy, so low-key that he was selected as an All-Star starter before he knew it. ”

He said that Chamberlain secretly pointed to who Yi Jianlian knew that the aftermath caused by his selection as an All-Star starter is still turbulent in the basketball world, Ronnie Starkey echoed with a smile: "The All-Star Game is about to become a hype competition, whoever has more compatriots will have more support, the league should change the All-Star rules, right, it should be changed to select All-Star players according to the population of each country, which player has the largest population in the country, which player will play All-Star." ”

"Then the Indian players will be happy." Thaddeus Young laughed, "It's a pity that the Indians are all lapped-legs, and they don't know anything else but raising cattle." ”

"Yes, Indians raise cattle, Chinese raise pigs." Big Lopez laughed and said, "It's famous all over the world, isn't it?" ”

As he spoke, he shouted the word 'PIG' loudly, looking unscrupulous.

Chamberlain pushed the door in at this moment, and as soon as he appeared, the players who were laughing immediately closed their mouths, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and Da Lopes and Starkey still had their mouths open before they could close, like a chicken pinched by the neck.

"What's wrong?" Chamberlain hung up his phone and asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?" Can anyone sue me and make me laugh too? ”

No one spoke, and the players lowered their heads and went about their business, and Brooks crossed his arms to look at Lopez, who was no longer arrogant and played with his phone with a gloomy face.

Chamberlain asked Yi Jianlian strangely: "What happened just now?" ”

Yi Jianlian smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, everyone is joking together." ”

"What are you kidding?" Chamberlain asked rhetorically, he had already noticed that something was wrong, Yi Jianlian looked at the others in embarrassment, he was embarrassed to repeat the previous incident, he understood Chamberlain's temper, if he told him about the previous incident, a fight would be unavoidable.

Starkey and the others also knew, so they only dared to take advantage of Chamberlain's absence to squeeze out Yi Jianlian, God Mingjian, they just excluded Yi Jianlian, but no one had the courage to provoke Chamberlain, Da Lopez is not counted, that thing is now mad.

The dull atmosphere in the locker room was very unpleasant to Chamberlain, who looked at Durant and asked, "Kevin, I treat you as a brother, you won't hide anything from me, will you?" ”

Durant is now a rising star in the league, only Chamberlain in the locker room is worthy of his relationship, and everyone else is role players in his opinion, and he doesn't care what these people think, and he doesn't care what they think of him, so he told Chamberlain about the previous incident.

After listening to Durant, Chamberlain bent down and took off the stool and threw it at Lopez, and he yelled at Brooks, who was close to the door: "Aaron, go and close the door!" ”

Everyone knows the relationship between Chamberlain and Yao Ming, and Brooks still expects Yao Ming to say more good things about himself on the Rockets, so when he heard Chamberlain's order, he immediately went to lock the door.

From the beginning of Durant's retelling, Da Lopez was on guard, and as soon as Chamberlain bent over, he immediately got up, so although the opponent's stool was thrown in a hurry, he still avoided it. But although he was not hit by the chair, Da Lopez was still startled, Chamberlain was playing for real, the chair smashed on the wardrobe and broke it directly, if it was smashed on him, he wouldn't have to play today.

Chamberlain's face was pale, he took off his loose training clothes and rushed towards Lopez, who dodged but Chamberlain's punch was very strong, Lopez dodged his fist and immediately followed, smashing his chest and knocking him to the ground.

Yi Jianlian was startled, and hurriedly jumped up to frame Chamberlain, and Starkey also came up to play the round, and said: "Don't be like this, Z, everyone is just joking......"

"What's the matter with you here? What the are you? I'm not beating you for Chaunse's sake, you're chirping crooked, I'll beat you first believe it or not?! Chamberlain pushed Yi Jianlian and yelled at Starkey, the latter's face changed when he heard these words, he glared at Chamberlain indignantly, but if he wanted him to fight, then he wouldn't dare.

Who's that across there? Chamberlain, they can't play as well as others, and they can't fight even more!

Durant and Scola also stood up and grabbed Chamberlain, and the three big men stuck him together, but they still couldn't hold him. López was not as arrogant as before, and after being punched, he stood up angrily, but as soon as he met Chamberlain's eyes, he was honest, ran out of the door with his tail between his legs, and shouted: "I'll go find the coach!" ”

"When the coach comes, I'm going to fucking beat you up like a bitch! Pressure me with a coach? You idiot! I can't kill you! Chamberlain roared.

López's insults could well rise to the heights of racism, so Chamberlain thought it was okay to beat him up.

Chamberlain's words are not empty words, he really doesn't care about the head coach of this game, the previous head coach of the All-Star Rookie Challenge was the assistant coach of the East and West Stars coaches, and this year the All-Star changed to have LeBron James as the live commentator, while Dwyane Wade and Dwight Howard served as first- and second-year coaches, respectively.

Howard had Chamberlain played all of them on the court, and even if he came, what could he do?
