Chapter 214: All-Star Rookie Tournament
When Zhang Weifeng appeared in the venue, he discovered a very surprising scene. The first floor of the New Orleans Arena was full of children of all ages. Looking at the first floor of the arena, there were nearly 10,000 students wearing red T-shirts. The screams on the scene immediately made adults with rich experience in watching the game ashamed.
Yao Ming is the big brother of China in the NBA. As a latecomer, Yi Jianlian and Zhang Weifeng naturally respect this compatriot. The three of them stayed on the side of the basketball court and were chatting happily. Zhang Weifeng and Yao Ming were more familiar with each other, and they often talked on the phone in private. Because Yi Jianlian was not good at socializing, he did not have many contacts with Zhang Weifeng, but the two were still familiar. He participated in the All-Star Weekend for the first time and felt that the atmosphere was different from the usual. Yi Jianlian seemed particularly excited, and had a shy smile on his face.
Kevin Durant also knows people, so he naturally won't stay on the court. If he wants to achieve great success in this league, it is necessary to have a good popularity. Now it seems that this thin guy who is too lazy to do this still understands this. When Durant saw Zhang Weifeng, he just nodded symbolically, and then heard James' shouting, he hurried over.
Seeing James and Durant talking, a strange smile appeared on Zhang Weifeng's face. It seems that you two are not yet at some point! At some time in the future, the competition between you two has almost reached a white-hot level. At that time, can you still talk as calmly as you are now? Durant, can you still maintain your current figure at that time? James, can you still maintain your current normal mind at that time?
Paul, Nowitzki, Duncan, Kobe, Nash, Howard, etc., these guys are quite good to Zhang Weifeng. They can do this because of Zhang Weifeng's ability. In the NBA, only those with strength can always be respected by others. Seeing Yao Ming, Zhang Weifeng, and then looking at the growing Yi Jianlian, some people began to sigh that Chinese basketball has indeed produced several good seedlings! In many years to come, someone will definitely be able to take the lead and lead Chinese basketball forward.
Among the players of the Celtics, Lei with a gentleman's style appeared. Alongside, Alan had a little fond of Zhang Weifeng, the others seemed not very kind to Zhang Weifeng. Especially Rondo, Zhang Weifeng could clearly feel his venomous gaze that was hidden very deeply. Zhang Weifeng knew that it was a kind of jealousy!
Although Zhang Weifeng was a little surprised why these people were so hostile to him, he didn't care at all. Now Zhang Weifeng would not be afraid of any opponents. If the Celtics really disappoint him again, he would completely fall into decline. Even if he has the Big Three, Zhang Weifeng believes that he still has some means to make their destined champion disappear.
If a person does not offend me, I will not offend others. If a person violates me, I will offend others. This is Zhang Weifeng's code of conduct.
For anyone participating and watching the competition, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses. It's just a performance. It depends on who performs well and who performs the best. The highest honor of this rookie All-Star is his.
A few minutes before the game, Zhang Weifeng danced with his first-year teammates, and Rockets power forward "movie champion" Scola and Durant and others ran back and forth on the court to warm up. The fans of the audience were filled with joy.
When the warm-up ended, with a whistle, the game finally kicked off.
The rookie All-Stars are not live in China, and some fans are more regretful. In the United States, the commentators of the TNT Sports Station that live broadcasts this game are Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith.
When they looked at the jubilant scene, the three of them were all smiling, constantly sweeping the camera on the field, discovering how they could get the talkative words.
"This All-Star Weekend. It's a pity that Greg Oden didn't come, otherwise it would have been another scene." Charles Barkley said first.
"Yes! Greg's luck is so bad. He was reimbursed in the first year of the season. Portland is really the legendary center cemetery! Ordinary people have no luck in maintaining their competitive level there!" Reggie Miller continued.
"I have a deep impression of Greg. When he was in the major league (ncaa), his footsteps under the basket, his ability to use his left and right hands, and his terrifying pressure on the defensive end. Really, I always thought that if he could stay healthy, this best rookie would not be Zhang Weifeng's!" Barkley continued to play his role as "Wind Black".
"Greg didn't even play NBA. Are you sure he will be better than Zhang Weifeng now? When will he play in the game, let's talk about this topic again!" Smith is a die-hard supporter of Zhang Weifeng. This is an indisputable fact! When he heard Barkley's remarks, he immediately refuted.
When Barkley and Miller heard this, they looked at each other. They were a little surprised by Smith's reaction. Did this hardcore honey be formed like this? Barkley didn't want to talk about this more to Smith, so he changed the subject and began to talk about today's game.
"These children today are very talented. Everyone has their own characteristics. I believe that today will definitely be an extremely exciting show." Barkley said.
"The second-year team will probably continue their winning streak this year. The first-year team is too immature. Although Zhang Weifeng and Durant are very strong, the second-year team is more powerful. For example, Brandon and Rudy, they can easily score 20+ players. If you look at the first-year team, no one can limit these two people! I am still optimistic about the second-year team!" Miller expressed his opinion.
"You must think that the second-grade team will win? I don't think so. How many years have you lost in the first grade? This time I think the first-grade guys will laugh to the end. The second-grade inside line is not as good as the first-grade! I hope Walker can take advantage of the inside line." Smith said.
"The inside line of the second grade is weak? Even so, then you are the guys on the outside line of the second grade who are vegetarian! In fact, it is not difficult to find that the outside players in the second grade are all good at three-pointers, and the outside line of the first grade is so weak. I think they will definitely suffer a big loss in this regard!" Barkley pointed out the biggest hidden danger of the first grade team. Among the 9 players in the first grade team, only Navarro and Conley are the real outside line. The defensive ability and shooting ability of the two people are far from restricting the second grade "seniors" who are going to face. Once the second grade grasps this, the first grade is likely to be massacred!
