Chamberlain looked at the list in his hand and smiled smugly.

In the dressing room, nine players sat cautiously in their seats, and Lopes looked ugly.

This year's sophomore rookie stars are: Beasley, Gasol, Morrow, Gordon, Lopez, Love, O.J. Mayo, Curry, Westbrook.

There was supposed to be a more fierce Rose, but unfortunately this guy had to participate in the Skills Challenge and the All-Star Challenge, and the league specifically allowed him to withdraw from the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

If he has a fierce general like Ross in his hands, Chamberlain estimates that he can win even if he directs with his eyes closed, but he can't say anything, because it is his teammate Morrow who replaces Rose in the All-Star team.

There have been so many changes to this year's All-Star that many decisions have been made on the fly, and Rose's absence was actually decided in early February, but it was Gallinari, an excellent Italian small forward, who was going to replace him at that time.

As a result, on February 10, Gallinari's grandmother died, and he had to go back to Italy for the funeral, so that another seat was vacant, and Moreau was urgently called.

"I'm really lucky." Morrow whispered to Curry.

Curry rolled his eyes and said, "yes, that's good, if you come to Dallas two days early, then you can play a woman, brunette, haha." ”

Moreau said unhappily: "You are racist. ”

Curry didn't eat this, he snorted, "I'm black, how can I discriminate against you?" ”

Morrow was determined to take Curry to the first army, so that the other party could pass the ball to him later, so he said firmly: "You are a half-race, not a black man!" ”

"It's all the same." Curry said.

Chamberlain coughed, helped the flat glasses he had just borrowed, and said slowly: "Shut up the children who are talking below, otherwise I will be ready to sit on the bench today, and I will still sit on the bench!" ”

Brook Lopez has always been at odds with Chamberlain, and when he learned that he was directing his sophomore year, his face was ugly, and the matter between him and Chamberlain in last year's rookie challenge was so uproarious that even Chamberlain didn't score a point.

You won't be able to score another point this time, will you? López was a little scared, he was selected for the rookie challenge twice and didn't score a point, this kind of thing is destined to be remembered for thousands of years.

Chamberlain didn't specifically target Lopez, he is the head coach, and he must have a bowl of water. The head coach felt very good, he felt that he could decide the life and death of these rookies, which was much cooler than dunking on top of their heads, and he decided to be the head coach after he retired.

The only displeasure is that this year's first-year team is strong, with two leaders, Brick Evans and Brandon Jennings, both top guards, in addition to Blair, Cosby, Flynn, Harden, Jerebko, Darren Collisson, and Tyler Hansbro.

There's no shortage of good scorers in it.

But the tragic thing is that like the second grade, the first year champion Lang can't play, and Griffin is injured. In addition, there are many excellent guards in this rookie class, but there are very few excellent interior lines, otherwise Tabit would not be able to mix in the top spot.

To be honest, Tabit is indeed not worth the price of the show, and now he has become another endorsement of parallel goods.

Chamberlain thought about the opponent's lineup, felt a little depressed, and asked: "You say, is the head coach of the league brain-dead when he drafts the rookie All-Star team?" Why did they pick so many defenders? What about the center, where are their center? ”

The rookies laughed and didn't dare to answer, Chamberlain is now the number one superstar in the league, not to mention that he is mocking the head coach, even mocking the Stern league and not daring to talk, but they are dead rookies, if the criticism of the head coach behind their backs spreads, they wait to sit on the bench.

Chamberlain did not expect them to answer himself, he began to line up: "Marc Gasol ......"

Reading the name, he looked at the big Spanish man, who was blank and nodded at him, Chamberlain coughed dissatisfiedly, and Curry reminded Gasol Jr., "Man, you're going to say 'to,' yes, you're going to say it." ”

Beasley smirked, "That's stupid, we're not schoolchildren......"

"You question the manager's arrangement?" Chamberlain squinted at Beasley, then nodded heavily, "Very good, rookie, you won't start today because you questioned the manager." ”

Beasley was very grumpy, sometimes more mad than West, so when he heard Chamberlain's words, he suddenly became angry and shouted, "I'm here to play All-Star, not to fucking play with you......"

"Very good, you dare to scold me? You won't get a chance to play today, so just sit on the bench for me. Chamberlain said expressionlessly.

Beasley was even angrier, he threw his towel and stood up, Chamberlain punched him in the chest, and said viciously: "Listen, rookie, I'm your head coach!" Now I'm talking about it here, do you understand? Fuck I'm the boss! Also, except for now, we have opponents at other times, so, I can ravage you at will, you can't help it if you're unhappy, there's a kind of you just fuck me in the game, but you can't beat me when you play, I have a helper in the fight, do you understand the damn rookie? ”

Beasley gasped for breath twice, and suddenly understood a truth, yes, Chamberlain is not his head coach, this game is a one-off, even if Chamberlain beats him on the court, the team will not fire him or punish him for anything, it is himself who suffers.

Beasley is a bastard, but he is very good at settling accounts, and when he understood this, he immediately changed his face and smiled, and said: "No, no, no, coach, you misunderstood me, I didn't question you or insult you, you know, that's my mantra." Have you forgotten, Sichuan, All-Star, I played for you. ”

Chamberlain thought about it, indeed, this guy has helped himself, not to mention Durant's face, so he patted Beasley on the shoulder and said, "You will come off the bench, you are the sixth man." ”

"Can't you start?" Beasley said disappointedly.

Chamberlain shook the tactical board and said impatiently: "Of course not, I am in the starting lineup to restrain those rookies in the first grade." ”

Gasol and the others hung their heads in despair, they really couldn't complain, is this a all-star or a child? What kind of manager is this!

"Mark Gasol!" Chamberlain coughed and spoke again, but little Gasol did not dare to show his unruliness, he immediately stood up and said, "Here." ”

Chamberlain nodded, "You're the starting center, Kevin Love." ”

Lefu also hurriedly stood up and sneered: "Here, Mr. Head Coach." ”

"You're the starting power forward." Chamberlain said, and then admonished, "Man, remember to say something nice to me to the media after the game, I'm not the chicken-bellied kind of person, you see, even though your head coach, the previous head coach, insulted me, I still made you the starting power forward." ”

Lefu nodded helplessly.

"Starting small forward, Morrow." Chamberlain said.

Moreau was about to stand up, but Chamberlain waved his hand and said, "Your own people, you just sit down." ”

Moreau was overjoyed, and the others were furious: You Chamberlain is really stinky and shameless, this kind of favoritism is done so openly and fairly, and he is really a talent.

"Curry, starting point guard, you're sitting too. Russell Westbrook, you're the starting playmaking guard. After Chamberlain finished speaking, he looked at Westbrook, who was smiling and motionless, and the latter was stunned for a moment, then understood, and stood up.

Chamberlain nodded with satisfaction, the second-year stars were messy, they felt like puppies, or puppies being trained.

After arranging the starting lineup, Chamberlain began to deploy tactics: "Listen to the, our advantage is the inside, and the outside line pays attention to defense!" Morrow, don't nod your head, with your defensive level, if it weren't for the fact that I'm your boss, you would never have been able to start! ”

"Straight down, listen, give me the guys on the outside, lock their balls, and pay attention to the inside when you attack. Lefou, you're going to help your teammates cover here, here, here. ”

"Mark, your job is to score and grab rebounds, so try not to leave the box, there will be someone to cover you. Moreover, your opponent is three inches shorter than you, and you have a way to deal with him, right? ”

"There's definitely a way!" Gasol hurriedly issued a military order.

Chamberlain arranged the specific tactics of the first half, and the staff told them that they could play, and Chamberlain raised his right arm and shouted: "Come on, boys, glory awaits you!" It's time to make a difference! Kill me! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Beasley took the lead and screamed, pouting his ass and running out, and the others were running fast like rabbits that had been shot, and they really didn't want to stay with Chamberlain any longer.

Curry walked at the end and said helplessly: "Z, you're a little too spoofed, aren't you?" ”

Chamberlain said nonchalantly: "So what? It's an all-star, it's just here to play, and I'm just having fun anyway. ”

"But those guys aren't necessarily happy." Curry said.

Chamberlain laughed and said, "So what? I'm not their kindergarten teacher, so I'm responsible for making them happy? Don't tease, you're here to make me happy, just like we usually make Don's bastard happy. ”

As early as 2008, when the 59th NBA All-Star Game was decided to be held in Dallas, the NBA league released a message that this time the All-Star Game was going to be held at the Cowboys Stadium, a professional football team in Dallas, which was still under construction.

Rugby is the number one sport in the United States and is known as the national sport, with hundreds of thousands of fans attending the games at every turn.

Less than a year old, the $1.1 billion Cowboy Stadium with more than 100,000 seats will see the NBA All-Star Game host the first of the four major professional leagues in the U.S. and break an NBA record for the largest number of spectators in a single game.

However, the rookie game and slam dunk and three-point contest of this All-Star Weekend event were held on the Mavericks' home court.

In this way, Chamberlain entered the familiar American Airlines Center Arena.

The first-year players entered first, and after Chamberlain entered, he saw Howard with a group of rookies sharpening knives on the opposite side.

Oxlade-Chamberlain helped his glasses, he took the lead as the head coach, and the cheers were the loudest, and the cheers of the players who came in later weakened, which made the sophomores frustrated.

López was the most depressed, because when he got to the bench, he found that West had also come to the scene, wearing a pair of glasses and looking polite.

Seeing Chamberlain, West exclaimed excitedly: "Z, look at me, look at me, today I am your assistant coach, are you excited?" ”

"Excited about your size!" Chamberlain pushed him away and warned West, "Today is my time to play, don't make trouble, you can play as much as you want during the main game the day after tomorrow, but not today, I mean, you give me the hell to be honest!" ”

West was upset and said, "I'm not here to play, I'm here to help you direct the game." As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the players to gather and shouted, "Come on, come on, Assistant Coach West will arrange tactics for you." ”

Chamberlain carried West and pushed him in Howard's direction and said, "I beg you, Uncle Delondy, you go and play with Dwight, let me go?" ”

The farce of the two was broadcast live on the big screen, one of them didn't leave with a dead face, and the other had to push him away, and there was a lot of laughter at the scene, and the fans watched it with a lot of taste.

Rigid games are not what fans want to see, what they need is a bunch of flesh-and-blood stars to be funny, and the friendship between Chamberlain and West, like those bad friends in life, makes fans feel more belonging.
