NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 69 Before the All-Star
On February 2007, 2, it was the eve of the NBA All-Star Game. Fans from all over the world had a grand gathering in New Orleans.

Philip Five-Star Hotel in New Orleans, Li Zhi, Crawford and Belinelli came together.

Li Zhi and Gabelinelli performed well and got their wish and were selected for this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge.Although the Warriors' record has struggled this month and only ranks tenth in the West, it still cannot conceal Li Zhi's shining light.

The New Orleans Hornets ranked first in the Western Conference. In the first half of the season, the Lakers Kobe was alone. The remaining Spurs and Jazz were double-killed twice by the New Orleans new army led by Paul. Chris Paul also played an epic performance, ranking second in the MVP rankings, second only to Kevin Garnett of the Celtics.

In the east, the Celtics are the best, leading the second-placed Pistons by 3 games, and James led the Cavaliers to rank third.

However, the performance in the first half of the season did not make the fans optimistic about the Hornets. After the Lakers acquired Pau Gasol, the Lakers became a championship team capable of competing with the Celtics. Experts predicted that the finals would be a "yellow-green battle."

Before the start of the All-Star Game, the NBA officially announced the starting and bench lineups for the All-Star Game, as well as the list of players for other games.

The Warriors Baron Davis performed well, but there are too many top guards in the West, and Baron Davis missed the All-Star again.

The Boston Celtics in the East have the best record in the league, and they provided three players for the All-Stars.

Kevin Garnett won 239 million votes to become the league's top voter and the starting forward in the Eastern Conference.Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were both named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team.But because Garnett was injured, Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh replaced him as the starting power forward.Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace replaced Bosh as backup power forward.The Pistons, the second-best team in the league, also have guards Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton participating in the All-Star Game.

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward James and Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade are both starters for a third year, and both received more than 200 million votes.

Center Dwight Howard was selected as the All-Star starting center for the first time in his career.He can get 22 points and 15 rebounds in the first half of this season.Shaquille O'Neal was not selected for the first time in 15 years.Jason Kidd was selected as the Eastern Conference's starting point guard.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, the MVP of the 2007 All-Star Game, was the top voter in the Western Conference with 200 million votes.However, because he was diagnosed with a finger injury by the team doctor before the game, he decided not to participate in the game. The Lakers may not have thought about the record.

Denver Nuggets guard Allen Iverson was selected as an All-Star for the second time since coming to the Nuggets.His teammate Carmelo Anthony became the starting forward.Power forward Tim Duncan was selected for the 10th time and Yao Ming was selected for the 6th time.

In terms of the rookie game, this year the league is still a confrontation between the first grade and the second grade.

In the second grade, Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Eldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers were selected together, in addition to Rajon Rondo of the Celtics, Millsap of the Jazz, Rudy Gay of the Grizzlies, Jordan Farmar of the Lakers and others.

What makes Li Zhi happy is that all four people from the University of Florida were selected, in addition to Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Michael Conley, Yi Jianlian, Luis Scola and so on.

……

In the afternoon, Li Zhi and Belinari reported together, and when they entered the arena, they saw Horford and the three coming towards them.

Horford happily patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, and said, "It's only four years since we got together at the Buddhist University, let's see if we don't hang up the second graders this time."

In addition to excitement in Horford's words, there is also a kind of emotion.At the beginning, the four of the University of Florida drafted together, but after entering the NBA, the best mix turned out to be Li Zhi, the most inconspicuous among them.

But the three of them have no jealousy. As brothers, they only have blessings in their hearts.

Li Zhi greeted the three of them for a while, and introduced Garinelli to the three of them by the way.

Belinelli greeted the three of Horford generously, and Li Zhi mentioned the four of them to him before coming.

Brewer and Belinelli get along very well because they both have something in common, which is to shoot three-pointers.

After Li Zhi arrived, all the first-year players gathered together. Everyone was a first-year rookie, and they all knew each other, even if they didn't know each other, they were also strangers.

Everyone is a rookie, and they all held a curious attitude in the first All-Star Game.The topic of discussion is nothing more than the champion of the three-pointer three-point contest, the champion of the slam dunk contest and the MVP of the All-Star Game.

"George, I heard that you participated in the dunk contest?" Yi Jianlian asked enthusiastically.

Li Zhi replied: "Yes, the boss said that there will be bonuses for good performance."

After hearing this, Yi Jianlian was envious for a while, not because he envied Li Zhi's bonus, but because he envied him being valued by his boss.Both of them are of yellow race, why is Li Zhi's body so perverted?

Yi Jianlian felt depressed for a while.

"What's the use of participating, and it's not about the slam dunk contest championship, Howard has already booked the championship!" Jeff Green said sourly from the side.

After Jeff Green finished speaking, don't be glared at by the people around him. Jeff Green was also taken aback, looking at Durant randomly for help.

Durant smiled slightly, intending to help his teammates out of the siege, and said, "George, let's not talk about the slam dunk contest, let's talk about the rookie game, are you interested in joining forces?"

Durant's words attracted everyone's attention. Everyone came to participate in the rookie game, so they naturally cared about this.

Li Zhi knew what this guy meant, the second graders were strong and strong, and if the second graders didn't cooperate, they would definitely be in a mess.

"Okay, but I want MVP." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Durant didn't object, but he didn't agree either: "That depends on strength."

Li Zhi despised Durant mentally: They didn't fight on their own, and just said cooperation, I believed your evil!

……

The All-Star Game is officially here, and countless fans gather in New Orleans to welcome a grand show.

The celebrity competition will be held first, and the Rookie Challenge will be held in the afternoon. In the morning, Li Zhi will have an exclusive interview in China.

The reporter is Dong Shanshan, an old acquaintance of Li Zhi. Dong Shanshan has performed well in many previous interviews, and now she has her own column. This time, she made a special trip to find Li Zhi to do an all-star interview.

"Hi Li Zhi, first of all congratulations on being selected for the All-Star rookie game." Dong Shanshan said.

Li Zhi smiled slightly at the camera, and politely replied: "Thank you."
