Chapter 205 Rookie Game
What many people did not expect but made sense is that these two opponents who were portrayed by the outside world as the "enemies of life" were talking and laughing. As soon as Li Chengming arrived in the arena, Durant He took the initiative to come over to greet him, and also greeted Ah Lian by the way.

With Li Chengming taking them with him, Ah Lian, who was unfamiliar with everyone, took this opportunity to get to know them a little bit.

They originally thought that Ah Lian's personality was rather aloof, but it was only in this situation that they realized that he was just not very expressive and had a shy personality, so he didn't deliberately not talk to them.

It's also because of the language barrier. With Li Chengming by his side, it can help him express more meanings, and it won't be so stiff and uncomfortable to get along with.

Li Chengming watched from the side, thinking in his heart that he should be considered a little help to Ah Lian.

The NBA also has human relations, and many friends have multiple paths. If the Arab League can't stay in Milwaukee in the future, these people will probably become a big boss by then, and maybe the Arab League can join them.

These people are actually very talkative. Regardless of their playing style on the court, in private, Conley, Green, Horford, and Scola are all good men. Navarro is also a foreigner, so he is naturally relatively low-key. Rand is sullen.

Although Mu En's expression was a bit arrogant, he didn't have much capital in front of Li Chengming and Durant.

So the meeting seemed very harmonious at the beginning, and there was no scene of fighting like the outside world thought.

Of course, that would have been nonsense.

After going through the Hall of Fame press conference, legendary center Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Adrian Dantley entered the Hall of Fame without any suspense.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the schedule of the All-Star Weekend officially began.

The first thing to do is the warm-up All-Star Celebrity Game, which is nothing to say.

Then there is the rookie challenge. The representatives of the sophomores are Aldridge and Roy of the Blazers, Brewer and Millsap of the Jazz, Bargnani of the Raptors, Farmar of the Lakers, Gray Gay of the Bears, Gibson of the Cavaliers and Rondo of the Celtics.

In terms of talent, 07 is obviously more favored by the outside world than in 06. However, Oden was reimbursed for the season, and Noah and others have not performed as expected. Compared with others, the star flavor is slightly insufficient.

Of course, Li Chengming, the Eastern All-Star substitute, was there in the first grade, which made the outside world have great expectations for them.

This expectation is also placed on Li Chengming, because the outside world has always been controversial, thinking that Li Chengming is under a big tree to enjoy the shade, and as the last pick, he debuted in a strong Eastern team like the Magic.

Although the competition for playing opportunities in the team is fierce, he also won it by relying on his own strength, but having Howard, Lewis, and Turkoglu around him must be of great help to his rapid growth, especially the accumulation of confidence.

The vast majority of rookies who performed well began to collect data in weak teams, and gradually leveled up, and did not taste much victory. For example, James did not enter the playoffs in his rookie year. This year Durant must also enter the playoffs. There will be no playoffs, but while Li Chengming is competing for the best rookie, his team is still number one in the league.

So many people want to see what kind of performance Li Chengming will have after leaving the Magic.

Can he still play his low-post dominance and lead the team to victory like he did in the Magic?

Everyone is quite optimistic about his personal performance. After all, he is not the kind of character who needs to rely on his teammates to create opportunities to eat cakes or catch and shoot, but an obvious core style of play. There is no defender who can match him in the second grade, and the All-Star is a more entertaining style of play. He is likely to play a more astonishing statistic.

But the outside world is not very optimistic about leading the team to victory.

You must know that in the past five All-Stars, the sophomore has won five times in a row in the rookie game.

It is equivalent to saying that their opponent this year was actually a loser last time.

This is actually quite normal. There will be a lot of experience gaps in one season, and many rookies only really start to adapt to the NBA in the second season.

Just like Li Chengming and his team, the ones who are sure to match up to the opponent at present are probably only Li Chengming and Durant, and the others' immediate combat power will be worse.

Even if it is a finished product like Scola, he still needs to continue to accumulate NBA game experience, at least not to become a loophole on the defensive end.

After all, if the pace is too slow to be used by the opponent, not only will it be impossible to prevent, but it is also likely to pay for fouls at will.

Before the official start of the game, everyone's eyes were more focused on the stars who came to watch the game. In addition to Dayao who fulfilled his promise to visit the two juniors, James, Bosh, Howard, Garnett and others also came. It's a bit like the big brother supporting the "little brother".

Of course, being idle in the hotel is idle anyway, so why not come and watch the game.

The first graders are relatively active here. Driven by it, Ah Lian has also become much more lively, jumping around with everyone.

The sullen Durant showed his coquettish side at this time, and began to dance "sexy dance" in front of the camera. This kid certainly would not have thought that this would become his dark history in the future.

Li Chengming also showed off his characteristics of being flexible and fat, and twisted his waist together. Although he can be called strong in appearance now, after all, he has lost nearly [-] catties compared to before weight up.

The most obvious ones are the two positions of the stomach and the face. He also wonders how he lost weight and thinned his face first, but there is no doubt that this is a good thing for him. He looks in the mirror this month and feels that he seems to be more handsome. less.

Sure enough, we fat people are all potential stocks, hehe...

In the past, his waist was not called a waist, and he couldn't see it at all, but now it is more obvious.

And as the whistle sounded at the start of the game, the audience erupted in jubilation immediately, and everyone gave face, after all, it was a show.

The first-year starters are Conley, Jeff Green, Durant, Li Chengming and Horford, and the second-year starters are Rondo, Roy, Gay, Aldridge and Bargnani.

Because of the overlap in positions, UAE and Scola will come off the bench, but in this case, each rookie will basically be given enough time to perform, so it is not a big problem.

Bargnani won with a mid-court jump ball, and the second grade took the lead in getting the ball, and then last year's champion Bargnani broke through and dunked with both hands to take the lead.

Then Li Chengming received the ball for the first time in the low post. The coach's arrangement is the same as that of the Magic, and compared with the Magic, in the current first-year lineup, the other four players all have baskets, so one star four The shooting lineup can also play.

It is worth mentioning that everyone in the rookie game wears the clothes of their respective teams. This is the necessity of pre-game training. Let you get used to it first, so as not to recognize your own people when you are on the court.

Of course, it’s okay, because the first graders wear away jerseys, which are generally darker in color, and the second graders wear home jerseys, which are lighter in color, so it’s not that hard to tell them apart at first glance.

Li Chengming was wearing the Magic's away dark blue jersey with his name and number on the back.
