Chapter 425 The first trophy(1/2)
"Michael Jordan actually sold Gerald Wallace." Dwight Howard, who went to New Orleans with Linson, shouted with his cell phone.
This time, in addition to head coach Stan Van Gundy becoming the head coach of the Eastern Conference Stars, Howard and Linson were selected as All-Stars as starting positions, and Billups were also selected as substitutes by the coaches. This is the first time in the history of Orlando Magic that three people were selected into the All-Star Game at the same time.
"What, Gerald Wallace was traded? How could it be?" Lin Sen snatched the phone, and the headlines of the phone were the news that Gerald Wallace was traded.
The target of Gerald Wallace's trade was not someone else, but Linson's former teammate Xidu Tekauglu.
Gerald Wallace and Tekauglugang both started their careers with the Kings, but Tekauglu was one of the famous bench bandits of the gorgeous kings, and Gerald Wallace was just a water dispenser guardian.
If it weren't for the Charlotte Bobcats picking him away, then Gerald Wallace would probably spend four years on the bench and finally disappear from the NBA.
This season, Gerald Wallace is one step closer than last season, averaging 19.6 points per game, while contributing 6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1 block in the league.
Tekauglu was basically determined by Stan Van Gundy to be the core of the team before Lin Sen joined the Magic last season, and Lin Sen became the second core only after he arrived.
Despite this, Tekauglu showed great progress last season. After returning to the Kings in the summer, Tekauglu, who had full ball rights, led the Kings, who lost Artest and Mike and Bibby last season, to achieve good results.
The Kings, which were originally destined to be the first strong contender, have won a winning rate of nearly 50% when the season is over halfway through the season, and their record is tenth in the Western Conference and still maintain their hopes for the playoffs.
Although Tekauglu is not the Kings' top scorer per game, he averages 6.5 assists per game and can also send 6 rebounds. He is the only player besides James with a score of 19+6+6 assists this season, and he is almost selected as the Western Conference All-Star substitute.
Although Gerald Wallace shouted rumors about a deal after the game against the Magic, no one expected that the Bobcats actually traded the new Elvis Gerald Wallace who had just signed a new contract during the offseason.
Gerald Wallacega has reimbursed Sean May for this season in exchange for Xidu Tecoglu, Dengtai Jones and Quincy Dolby.
"I didn't expect Xidu to return to the east so soon." Howard sighed.
Lin Sen also didn't expect that in fact, he still had a good impression of players like Gerald Wallace, but the team already had two defensive players, Artest and Bathir. Although Gerald Wallace is young and more energetic, his scoring ability is obviously defective, especially the three-point shooting ability that the Magic requires a lot.
"Let's go, we can only wish Xidu to continue to perform well in Charlotte." Linson handed the phone to Howard and took the lead on the gangway.
Lin Sen, who was sitting in the chair, took out his cell phone and looked through the photos of his son and daughter. Especially his son Amy, who was born for more than ten days, was almost the same every day.
"Wood. You are so happy, but I have something to consult you." Howard pushed Lin Sen with a flattering smile on his face.
"Put your damn smile, I feel uncomfortable all over my body, what's wrong?" Lin Sen said, staring at Howard.
Howard glanced around with a little embarrassedly and then leaned into Lin Sen's ear: "Royce is pregnant."
"Royce, who is it?" Lin Sen looked at Howard in surprise. Then he suddenly remembered that Reus was the Magic cheerleader, "How could you do this? The league knew she would be ruined."
The NBA has clear regulations that players cannot fall in love with cheerleaders. Once discovered, they are often severely punished.
Lin Sen thought he and Reyce Reed were just having fun, but he didn't expect the two of them to develop to this point: "Damn it, don't you know about contraception?"
"I hate that feeling. But we have been paying attention. It has been almost a year since we were normal, who knows."
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know either." Howard hung his head.
"Do you want to have that child, or do you want to be with her? If you want to, I think you should be responsible for her. If you don't want it, I think you should handle it privately." Although Lin Sen had just been promoted to father, he didn't understand these things. This is the suggestion he could do.
"I seem to like her very much. She said she was willing to leave Orlando and go to Miami to be a cheerleader for me. If it goes well, she will give birth to a child. I will raise them, mother and son."
Lin Sen doesn't know what to say. He has also known Howard's personality this year, and he is a typical NBA player personality.
To put it bluntly, men who are irresponsible to women are more for the sake of being happy for a while. Over the past year, he knew how many women Howard had had sex with. However, Lin Sen also knew that he did not have much qualifications to say Howard, after all, he was not clear about it.
"If this is the case, then treat them well. I really don't know the others." Lin Sen patted Howard on the shoulder.
"Sorry, I'm disturbing you, do you need a magazine or a drink?" said the blonde in the uniform of a stewardess in a sweet voice.
The flight attendant in front of him is indeed very good-looking. Howard, who was just asking Lin Sen how to deal with Reus, had already shined in his eyes.
"Is there a newest Forbes? Give me another cup of coffee, thank you, Wood, what do you want?"
"I only need a cup of boiled water, and I don't need anything else, thank you."
Howard kept staring at the stewardess' twisting buttocks disappeared from the hatch before retracting his eyes: "It's really good, she has such a good figure, great, Wood, don't you?"
Seeing Lin Sen's uninterested look, Howard shrugged helplessly: "Okay, I think I didn't say it."
Soon the flight attendant just now brought something, and Howard didn't care about Lin Sen's opinion: "Beauty, can you know your contact information?"
Many women become flight attendants to be able to do something with rich people or celebrities. Howard obviously belongs to one category. Faced with Howard's request, the flight attendant quickly wrote his name on the small note and handed it over to Howard.
"Done." Howard put the small note into his clothes pocket and picked up the magazine.
The cover of this issue of the magazine is a photo of Lin Sen's family of five. Lin Sen is in the middle, holding Emmy and Anne with both hands, while Natalie Portman and Linsay Lohan stood aside each other, with smiles all on their faces, looking particularly happy.
The release of Forbes in this issue has been criticized by many defenders. They criticized Lin Sen's behavior for affecting the values of teenagers and will have a very bad impact on teenagers.
"It would be great if I could be like you." Howard glanced at Lin Sen and muttered softly.
When the plane arrived in New Orleans, Chris Paul was already waiting there, although the league wanted Linson to stay in the hotel arranged by the league.
But Linson still chose to live in Chris Paul's house, and Deron Williams also lived in Paul's house. They both will use bullfighting to decide who is Amy's godfather and Anne's godfather.
After saying goodbye to Howard, Linson got into Paul's car.
In Paul's home, Linson witnessed the one-on-one challenge between Paul and Deron, and Deron finally defeated Paul in the eleven-goal bullfight. Before they had agreed to win and become Emmy's godfather, and the losers became Anne's godfather.
"I will definitely help Anne think of a great name." Paul said to Deron. Although he had nothing to do with who he was, it was a depressing thing to lose to Deron.
"So too, haha." Deron, who won the game, was very happy. The three of them did not leave Paul's house at night, but fought again in NBA2K at Paul's house, but Lin Sen laughed to the end in the game.
Lin Sen is even busier this year than last year. Last year, Lin Sen participated in the Rookie Challenge, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Competition and All-Star Competition. This year, Lin Sen was not only selected for the second-year rookie roster, but also participated in the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Competition, Slam Dunk Competition and All-Star Competition.
Needless to say, I participated in all five events, and I was the first person in the NBA history and history to participate in the last four events at the same time.
According to normal circumstances, the host players will receive courtesy from everyone and are likely to receive the All-Star MVP, but this year it seems a bit special.
As the leader of the host Hornets, Chris Paul has no idea of winning the All-Star MVP at his doorstep. David West has no idea. Not only does Paul not have the idea of winning the All-Star MVP, but he tends to win the MVP.
In the last All-Star Game against the Cavaliers, James also expressed this idea. Linson, who became the father of two children, even replaced Chris Paul as the most popular All-Star MVP candidate.
"I really hope Wood gets the trophy and gives it to Amy and Anne, but I hope his trophy will not be easy. Because this is the best gift." Kobe Bryant, who gave two children $2 million, said in an interview.
Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, who are both part of the Eastern Conference Star Team and Linson, expressed his full support for Linson to give gifts to his children.
"At this point, it seems that I will be sorry to everyone if I don't compete. Since that's the case, I don't think I will refuse." Lin Sen officially responded in an interview before the rookie game.
"Wood, will you play in the rookie game? The first grade has issued a declaration of victory."
"You also participated in the slam dunk contest this time. Are you serious? Or do you participate at the league's request? Do you have any preparations for participating in the slam dunk contest?"
"Will Amy and Anne be the driving force behind your All-Star Game? Do you have any ideas to get all the awards back?"
...
"I need to follow the coach's arrangements for the rookie competition. As for the rest, I will do my best to do it well. As for the dunk competition, I don't think I will disappoint everyone since it's coming." Lin Sen said with a smile.
Although the first-year rookies issued a victory declaration, no one is optimistic that they can take away the victory, not to mention that the second-year group Linson and Brandon Roy were selected for this year's All-Star lineup, which is far from comparable to the first-year group.
After the game started, Linson and Roy sat on the bench after only less than two minutes.
"It's really disappointing. I think there must be some spectators who will protest. Many people come to watch Wood and Brandon, but they actually got off the court at the beginning." Steve Cole, who was in charge of the commentary of this game, complained.
"If Brandon and Wood play, then the suspense chance of the game is 0. Maybe they won't play." Mark Jackson said with a smile, "But in the end I still think the second grade will win the game."
However, the progress of the game was beyond people's expectations, although Linson and Brandon Roy did not play and no one believed that the second grade would not be able to beat the first grade rookies.
Kevin Durant performed very well in the first half in the first half, scored 12 goals in the first half. He scored 26 points in the first half, and Al Horford, who was selected by the Hawks in the third pick, was also begged for the inside, and Bagnani was completely unable to defend Horford.
At the end of the half game, Horford scored a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Under the leadership of him and Durant, he scored a 5-point lead in the first half of the first grade with a 65:60.
Just five points behind was because Daniel Gibson scored 6 three-pointers in the first half and scored 22 points.
"It was a bit beyond our expectations. Maybe we could see Brandon and Wood play in the second half. If I could, I think we should thank the first-year rookies." Mark Jackson said with a smile.
After the start of the second half, Linson and Roy still did not play, Rudy Guy took over the offensive power, but Kevin Durant still felt hot. In the tenth minute of the second half, the second grade not only did not catch up with the score, but instead fell behind by 16 points.
Of course, Daniel Gibson has no touch. The team can only score Rudy Guy and Aldridge.
"I requested a timeout in the second grade. I don't know how LeBron will adjust. Perhaps the best way to replace Brandon and Wood is the one." Steve Cole said looking at the sidelines.
"Branton, Wood, you two appear to let the first-grade rookies know your awesomeness, come on!" James said to Roy and Linson.
Roy and Linson looked at each other: "No problem!"
"Oh, LeBron really changed into Brandon and Wood. First-year rookies, your good luck ended here." Mark Jackson said with a smile.
However, the first-grade rookies have already shown confidence and don’t care about Roy and Lin Sen’s appearance.
"It seems they don't care about us. Do you come first or I come first?" Lin Sen asked at Roy.
"You are a daddy person. I think you should come first. How about using the Rookie MVP trophy as the first gift? I will pass the ball to you, just treat it as my gift to my two children?" Roy said with a smile.
"Branton, you are so stingy. Since that's the case, I can only accept it." Lin Sen smiled and gave the ball to Roy, and ran to the frontcourt.
"Wood gave the ball to Brandon, and he ran to the frontcourt. What are they going to do?" Mark Jackson was very curious.
At this moment, the inside of the second grade are Aldridge, Paul Millsap, Rudy Guy, Linson and Roy, while the inside of the first grade are Al Horford, Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, Mike Conley and Juan Carlos Navarro.
Behind the rookies, this makes the second graders look ugly, and they have to admit that Lin Sen and Roy are the two strongest among them.
Roy controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. The Grizzlies' main point guard Mike Conley was the Grizzlies' main point guard. Although Conley was still a rookie, he had proved that he did not only rely on Greg Oden to survive, and it also proved that Memphis' choice was not wrong.
Roy directly handed the ball to Lin Sen. After Lin Sen received the ball, Conley immediately moved up and got a small distance between him and Lin Sen, and almost put himself on Lin Sen.
"Wood received the ball, and Mike was defending him. As a rookie, Mike was good at defending the defense, but Wood was a guy who would have a headache for any top defender." Steve Cole said with a smile.
He raised the ball high with both hands, stood firmly with his left foot, and pushed his chest against Mike Conley, who was tightly pressing against him. Linson was not tall, but a little taller than Conley.
