Chapter 137 The Lively All-Star
The last few attacks of the Raptors were all singles by Mike James. Even if he scored 2 points in the last 6 minutes, it did not play any role, because the Knicks scored 8 points.

Li Hai had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, once again helping the team win with comprehensive statistics.

February 2th to 18th is the All-Star Weekend in Houston. The Knicks have no games since they defeated the Raptors. Li Hai is not the only one who went to the All-Stars this time, and the team is also relatively happy.

And Marbury, who has not been able to enter the All-Star for several years, decided to come back in the All-Star. The league almost had other players substitute him in before, and Marbury also quickly explained the situation.

He has a face-saving personality, and his body is fine, so he definitely doesn't want to give up this All-Star.

Nate - Robinson and Channing - Frye will participate in the rookie game, and Li Hai will be the opponent.

Quentin Richardson will participate in the three-point contest, and Nate Robinson will participate in the dunk contest in addition to the rookie game.

So there were five Knicks going to the All-Star Weekend this time, which was completely different from last season when Li Hai went alone, and it was much more lively.

Before going to Houston to participate in the All-Star Weekend, Li Hai first went to the newly opened company. In addition to Li Hai and Xia Weiliang's share in the company, Holt Eddie joined in, but the fat man couldn't pay much money, he was the company's small shareholder.

The registered name of the company is Fierce Wave, Li Hai didn't plan to get too involved in the company's management, so he directly threw a list to Fatty.

"The above players will participate in the draft this year. If you can sign, try to sign as much as possible. It doesn't matter if the company earns less at the beginning. If the players want to feel the benefits, I can take the company's players to participate in some activities. Domestic and foreign players are fine. .”

"If you want to sign other players, I can also check."

Eddie took the fat on the list and laughed tremblingly, "It's fine if you agree to participate in some business activities. With an All-Star player, it will be easier to negotiate with those young people."

"Just don't pick it up randomly." Li Hai reiterated.

Eddie immediately became frowning again, because Li Hai didn't participate in business activities very much, which made him less money, but the fat man was very down-to-earth, and Li Hai would not mess around if he said it was impossible.

He opened the list that Li Hai handed over, only to see some simple names written on it, LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay, JJ-Redick, Rajon- Rondo, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap, Andrea Bargnani, Jose Barea.

Li Hai just wrote down the names of the players who impressed him deeply. As for whether he can sign in or not, it depends on the performance of his agent. Just enough for their company to do well.

As for the company that supports them, it's almost enough to have Li Hai around. Anyway, if you want others to make money, it's better to let your own company make money.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, Li Hai and Xia Weiliang came to Houston together. Like the last All-Star Weekend, they planned to play here for three days.

The last time Anthony hosted him, this time Yao Ming's home court must be more convenient.

Li Hai was going to represent the sophomore team on the first day, so he arrived at the stadium early.

The sophomore team is coached by former China head coach Del Harris and Hall of Fame player Moses Malone. Li Hai is sure to start again, along with Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, and Dwight. - Howard and Andre Iguodala.

Substitutes include Devin Harris, Andres Nocioni, Nenad Kostic and TJ Ford.

Most of them are old faces, and there are also new faces. Among the players in their class, some players who participated in the rookie game last year have gone on different paths from them these years.

In the league, those who have strength can survive well, and those who don’t have strength will be forgotten. It is cruel and realistic, but it also inspires everyone to go all out.

The first-year team was coached by former NBA coach Sidney Lowe and Hall of Famer Elvin Hayes.

Nate Robinson and Channing Frye are both starters, which makes Li Hai very happy. Their other three starters are Chris Paul, Danny Granger and Andrew Bogut, and their four substitutes are Lu Thur Head, Charlie Villanueva, Deron Williams and Sarunas Jascovicius.

Like James last year, Li Hai didn't put all his thoughts on the rookie game because he wanted to participate in the All-Star Game.

However, as a competition, Li Hai still pursues victory.

After the rookie game, the fighting spirit of the first-year team was even higher, while the second-year team was relatively slow to enter the state, especially inside. Howard probably had too much fun the night before and was completely suppressed by Bogut.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Hai immediately strengthened his defense. Two consecutive steals led the second grade to catch up the score. With him taking the lead, Ben Gordon and Iguodala began to score consecutive points, almost unstoppable.

On the surface, the lineup of the first-year team is more balanced, but it is obvious that the second-year team is more sophisticated, and the shooting rate is much higher than the opponent's, especially the three-point shooting rate. Li Hai, Iguodala and Ben Gordon played together It rained three minutes.

So it didn't help that the rookie team had better rebounds, and both sides threw too many threes, which was a lot of jokes compared to last year.

Li Hai didn't force himself to show off, and spent most of his time making balls for others.

When the second-year team rained three-pointers, the game lost its suspense early. Li Hai scored a triple-double, but the MVP was Iguodala who scored 30 points.

Channing Frye and Nate Robinson also had a good time, but obviously it wasn't their turn to shine.

On the second day, a group of Knicks arrived early, and the slam dunk contest was the number one snack before the main game, especially when they had players participating.

Li Hai himself was not particularly interested in this kind of competition, so he did not fight for any other events.

However, he was very happy to watch the game with his friends.

In the star shooting competition that was held first, Li Hai saw that there were more people this time, and it would not hurt his feelings if the Knicks participated in this competition, so he immediately raised the corners of his mouth.

"Come, come, let's talk about it, the team that wins will be the one."

"What's the point of talking about it? I said it's a small gamble. It's a hundred dollars per person. It's not me bragging. I'll have a free supper in a while." Marbury said enthusiastically.

Li Hai's scheme succeeded, and he immediately drew out a ticket, "Don't worry, I'll give you a cup of popcorn after I win."
