Chapter 151: Am I Not Working Hard Enough?
After the carnival, Lin Mu took makeup photos with the players who participated in the rookie challenge, which was another group photo of the rookies of the class of 2008.
It's just surprising that in the picture, Rose is no longer standing in the C position, Lin Mu is standing in the center with a basketball, next to Champion Lang Rose and No. 5 show Russell Westbrook.
"Lin, I was crazy last night, and the reports turned you upside down!" When taking the makeup photo, Rose smiled and poked Lin Mu's waist.
The 28 cards next to him also showed a lewd smile, not only that, but even Wei Shao ran up to join in the fun.
"Why, lie to me all day long, say you're training, and what happened?" Wei Shao pursed his lips, his face full of displeasure.
Lin Mu waved his hand after hearing this: "Wei Shao, you are wrong, I didn't deceive you, I was really training!" I'm preparing for the Rookie Challenge, practicing all night, do you understand? ”
Lefu stood solemnly on the side, and immediately came to Lin Mu's side after listening, like a gossip reporter: "Lin, shouldn't you find a big one for practice, the female star last night didn't seem to be as plump as she imagined." ”
He's meowing, what are you doing here?
Lin Mu directly threw a roll of his eyes at him: "What do you know, this kind of C~ cup is the best, no matter how big it is, it will be redundant, like a basketball, you can't have nightmares if you touch it?" ”
"Really, isn't this a little small?"
28 Ka also muttered to himself.
These black goods are really the more meat, the better, and the brain is full of what is left except muscles?
"Okay, take the basketball and feel it and practice hard!"
"And Russell, if you don't beat you for a few days, you're going to go to the house to uncover the tiles? Is it true that the social media says you're going to break my news? ”
Sending away a few teammates who were in the way, Lin Mu said viciously to Wei Shao.
"Blanch! Heaven and earth conscience, I, Russell Westbrook, have never said such a thing. ”
"Do you still need to say it in the media? I could have blown you up. Wei Shao spread his hands, looking extremely unbeaten.
"Get out of the way!"
"You brag every day, have you ever considered the feelings of a cow?"
After taking the makeup photos, Lin Mu took Da Yao and several Thunder players to a Chinese restaurant.
"Who are you? Our team gathers, what are you here to have a good time? ”
Seeing Wei Shao's first glance, Durant said very unhappily.
You're just a kid out there smearing me?
Can I still give you a good look?
"A party of the team? I didn't see Lin Mu chatting so happily with his fellow countrymen, you look like a strange shape, what qualifications do you have to say such things? ”
Gan!
Just talk, don't make personal attacks!
Durant was furious, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and have a real PK with Wei Shao on the spot.
"Lin Mu, don't you need to take care of them?" Yao Ming's eyes were a little weird, how could this scene be familiar?
"Leave them alone, one or two are strong mouths, do you think they dare to move?"
"It's all a temptation, I bet the two of them will scold for a while."
As soon as Lin Mu's voice fell, Durant spoke: "Little rookie, I'm the Western All-Star starter, what about you?" ”
Straight to the point!
Durant's words put Wei Shao at an absolute disadvantage!
"Humph!"
"Aren't you still stained with Lin Mu's light?"
"Without Lin Mu's popularity, who knows what your surname is?"
stabbed each other, Wei Shao also hit the nail on the head, Durant is really going to do it!
"Does it really matter? They seem to have gone even further. ”
Lin Mu turned around to look, and Durant and Wei Shao were already squirting against each other.
This picture is exactly the same as the scene when Durant defected to the Warriors and played a game with the Thunder for the first time.
Sure enough, no matter how history changes, the bond between the two will never disappear easily.
"28 Ka, Jeff Green, why don't you come up and help me!"
Greeting teammates, Bao Gongdu began to shake people!
"Young roar, a group of useless goods, Mark, follow me!"
Gasol Jr., who is also a representative player of the first-year rookie, and the only two Grizzlies teammates, Gasol Jr. naturally followed.
"Okay, just make trouble yourself, what does it mean to call someone?"
Lin Mu couldn't stand it anymore, there was a kind of single-handedness, group beating or something, that was the behavior of young people who didn't talk about martial arts.
"Here, heads-up!"
"Come on! I'm afraid of you! ”
"With your little body, I can beat your out!"
"Hehe, I can make you vomit and diarrhea and at the same time!"
.......
Drama is part of life, and a group of NBA players come to the restaurant.
The authentic Chinese food makes everyone eat it full of praise.
"Delicious... It's delicious! How do you make this little bun? When you bite into it, the juice splashes everywhere, and it's so fragrant! ”
"Who the hell are you, how did you get in?" Looking at the oily Ross, Lin Mu was full of bags.
Isn't this kid from the Chicago Bulls, why did he have the cheekiness to come and mess with himself?
"Lin, what is this bun called? Tell me quickly, it's delicious! As brothers who have trained together, of course Rose didn't care about Lin Mu's words, the friendship was there, and Rose didn't feel any embarrassment.
"Xiaolongbao, made of crab meat, the meat is full of fresh and fragrant flavor!" After Lin Mu finished speaking, the greasy feeling was simply amazing!
In the evening, the 2009 All-Star Rookie Challenge began, kicking off the All-Star Weekend!
Nearly 20,000 fans will be in action tonight to watch the game in the historic arena of the West Jersey Arena!
"Lin, may I ask what the female star who went to the hotel with you last night has to do with you?"
"Lin, are you serious about your feelings this time? Will you continue to develop with her? ”
Before the rookie game began, Lin Mu had been blocked in the players' tunnel by a group of reporters.
The most important thing in Lin Mu is off-the-field topics, of course, Lin Mu, who still performs well on the field, is still the best darling of major mainstream media.
"I'll you! Who the hell put these reporters in, All-Star Weekend, and couldn't make people take a breather? You're a fool! ”
Lin Mu scolded the staff angrily in his heart, this is too unprofessional!
"I repeat, I don't have any girlfriends now, I have the purest friendship with them, and I still have to play."
Lin Mu spread his hands, to be honest, the overwhelming news in the past few days has made Lin Mu a little impatient.
"Lin, will last night's big fight affect your performance on the court today?" As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, a reporter couldn't wait to stretch out the microphone.
Lin Mu was a little skeptical, do these reporters have ears?
"Please, don't be so serious, rookie challenge, everyone is here to play, this is an exhibition match, there is no competition!"
"So you mean you're not going to go for the Rookie Game MVP trophy and records tonight?"
"Absolutely not, I'm just here to play, play, fun is the most important thing."
Seeing Lin Mu's categorical expression, a group of reporters looked at each other, and they didn't know why, they always felt that the credibility was not high when they said this kind of thing from Lin Mu's mouth.
After being interviewed by reporters, Lin Mu came to the court, where the first and second year rookies were warming up in the center of the court.
Usually the Rookie Challenge is called an all-star appetizer, and generally speaking, there are not many star players from the Rookie Challenge, and the big names will appear in the All-Star Game, which is when the stars are shining and competing for glory.
But today, the center of the West Jersey Stadium is filled with stars and players from all walks of life.
Lin Mu saw the Kardashian family next to the stadium, and a large family was sitting there, attracting the attention of countless male fans.
There is also the celebrity Hilton, who threw a wink at Lin Mu, obviously the last battle left a deep impression on her.
Yin Wa Mendes is dressed up and sitting on the other side, she doesn't care about Lin Mu's scandalous women, as the hottest superstar in the league today, maybe they are just taking advantage of each other.
This is extremely common in the United States.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant, the league's Rookie of the Year for the 2007-08 season, and Oklahoma City Thunder forward Mu Lin, who was voted Player of the Month in 2008, will each lead eight teammates to the 2009 Phoenix All-Star Rookie Challenge.
No one could have imagined that the captains of the two teams would be from the same team.
This also reflects positively how good the current Thunder is in terms of the strength of the new generation.
Even the champion in 2008, Derek Ross, failed to be elected captain, which shows that Lin Mu's popularity, whether in China or the United States, has reached a certain height.
Handsome and able to play, Lin Mu's performance on the court left a deep impression on everyone.
All 18 players who participated in the Rookie Challenge were voted for by assistant coaches across the league.
Interestingly, this rookie challenge will feature two active players as assistant coaches: Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard and Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade.
Among them, Howard will be involved in coaching the second-year star team, while Wade will serve the rookie (first-year) star team.
Second-year rookies, in addition to the Thunder's Jeff Green, are Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford, Los Angeles Clippers forward Al Thornton, Philadelphia 76ers forward Thaddeus Young, New York Knicks forward Wilson Chandler, Detroit Pistons guard Rodney Starkey, as well as Houston Rockets forward Louis Scola and guard Aaron Brooks.
In terms of rookie stars, their lineup is even more terrifying, in addition to Rose and Lin Mu, it also includes Memphis Grizzlies guard Russell Westbrook, center Marc Gasol, Portland Trail Blazers center, 2007 No. 1 pick Greg Oden, Thunder forward 28 cards, Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon, Heat forward, 2008 star Michael Beasley, and Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.
OJ Mayo was not selected because of a calf injury, otherwise the strength of the rookie team would be even more terrifying!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to NBA All-Star Weekend! ”
The MC is already stirring up the atmosphere, and LeBron James, who has participated in two consecutive Rookie Challenges, will be a live commentator on TNT.
"I'm very optimistic about the rookie star team, they have the tougher team, they have the most brutal Rose and Westbrook, and the center Oden, who was considered to be talented in 2007, and of course, their captain is better than the second-year captain."
Pre-match analysis, LeBron James said.
The starting line-up soon appeared on the big screen.
Second-year starters: Aaron Brooks, Starkey, Durant, Scola, and Al Horford
This is a relatively conventional lineup, there are corresponding candidates for each position, there are no obvious shortcomings, Aaron Brooks's impact is also very good, coupled with Durant's super scorer characteristics, combined with Scola and Horford who can pass the ball, Howard is complacent off the court, this lineup will definitely play on the court.
First-year starters: Rose, Wei Shao, Lin Mu, 28 cards and Lefou.
This is a somewhat extreme lineup, with an average height lower than that of a sophomore rookie, the backcourt combination of Wei Shao and Rose, and Lin Mu's 28-card forward partner, with a not-so-professional interior center.
With speed, dynamism, and a strong offensive approach, first-year rookies are far better on paper than second-year rookies.
What's more, Wei Shao, Lin Mu and Lefu, these three are the three masters of UCLA, and their degree of tacit cooperation is far from being comparable to that of second-year rookies!
28 cards and Lin Mu are thunder teammates, and they have the same tacit understanding full score.
Rose, a brother who has trained together for several months, Lin Mu is also very familiar with his style of play.
"The First Evolution"
TMD, a bunch of players with bonds, a sophomore to win?
Wade touched his head off the court, when it comes to brother basketball, he is also very good!
Before the game even started, there were screams from the audience.
What happened?
When I looked closely, it turned out that Lin Mu was standing in the middle circle, ready to have a pre-game jump ball with Durant!
Good guys, the rookie season hasn't officially started yet, and the Thunder twins are starting to live?
Fans are looking forward to and excited about this, who doesn't like Lin Mu, a superstar who can play and perform?
"You're jumping with me? Are you kidding! ”
Durant was a little surprised, with his height and reach, there was no reason to lose to Lin Mu.
As the referee's whistle blew, Durant won the first offensive opportunity without any suspense.
Lin Mu spread his hands and said that he had no choice.
2.03 meters vs. 2.08 meters, when Durant is five centimeters taller, it is difficult for Lin Mu to get the ball.
Of course, this is just a jumping ball in a static state, and if it is that kind of dynamic situation, it is really hard to say.
Brooks slowly dribbled across the half court and gave the ball to Kevin Durant first.
As the captain of the team, it makes sense for me to do the first attack, right?
However, what he never expected was that the defender standing in front of him was Lin Mu, who he knew very well!
