When the two brothers arrived at the American Airlines Center on the NBA bus, they were almost 7 p.m. Phoenix time, and people began to enter one after another.

Phoenix City is the fifth largest metropolis in the United States, but it is such a big city with vast land and sparse populations. On weekdays, cars on the streets are not crowded, and there are not many people. It is very likely that the entire street will be empty in broad daylight. However, at this moment, traffic control has been implemented at the door of the US Airlines Center, and the crowds are surging, so that Ji Guomomiya just saw a familiar Chinese reporter. He couldn't wait to carefully identify it, and he had disappeared into the crowd.

Among the dense crowds outside the stadium, there are two types of people who are more special. One is who want to watch the game but don’t have tickets, so they ask everyone: Do you sell tickets? Another is the scalper in our sense of the word, and ask everyone: Do you want to buy tickets? But of course the price is several times higher.

Taylor Swift transformed into a little spy. She did not take the same car with her two brothers. This was a team bus and her family was not allowed to enter.

The little singer and Emma Roberts were together. Before entering the venue, the two girls went to the store and were stunned by the crowd before entering. After the two girls entered, they looked at the label. LeBron James's robe was $105 and Kobe's robe was $100, indicating that the status of the two men had begun to change. The host Nash and Xiaos's robe were the most expensive, priced at $110. Look at the two brothers' robe, which was also $100 like Kobe. And when they asked, they were sold out, and there were only two items left in the store for display.

The two girls left the store and entered the stadium. They were full of fans wearing James and Kobe's jerseys. Of course, the Suns are more loyal. After all, this is their home court. Nash No. 13 jerseys are everywhere. Of course, they are mainly looking for their boyfriends' jerseys. They found that Ji Guomeng's No. 9 in the stadium was still more, almost comparable to James and Kobe. However, Ji Guochue's No. 6 was less. It seems that although everyone scolded the foxes all day, there were still more fans of Ji Guomeng who were timid all day, especially young people and female fans liked his unrulyness even more.

All-Star labor during the day is just a program to entertain the public. The All-Star Rookie Challenge at night also has no shortage of alternative highlights. "Little Emperor" James served as the live commentator this year, and O'Neal and Gasol served as commentators for the first and second half of TNT TV respectively. The Hots All-Star guard Dwyane Wade was designated as the coach of the first and first-year team, while Magic center Dwight Howard was the coach of the second-year team.

The competition that night had not yet begun, and the two assistant coaches first came to a fashion show.

Howard was wearing a gray suit and a fancy tie on a white striped shirt was very eye-catching. Compared with Howard, Wade showed a more fashionable look, and he was also wearing a suit, but a yellow jacket inside Wade's top really added a lot of color to him. With a pair of glasses and a bow on the collar of the shirt, Wade's gentlemanly charm was fully displayed.

Flash Wade and "Warcraft" Howard entered the NBA in 2003 and 2004 respectively. They are not rookies in the same level. But in fact, they were already an old opponent 10 years ago.

Today, Wade is obviously not as good as Howard in the role of the role. His Majesty Superman fully utilizes his ability to steal the spotlight and play tricks. Compared with Howard, Wade is firmly sitting on Diaoyutai, and the two formed a sharp contrast in the performance activities before the game.

In this year's rookie match, the players' appearance ceremony was not very innovative, and the fans' cheers were naturally the twin brothers and Durant.

When singing the national anthem, next to the American flag were the national flags of several international players participating in the competition. Ji Guoqiu looked for it at this time and found that there was no Chinese flag. He immediately felt unhappy and regretted his original choice.

The rookie challenge was scheduled to start at 19:30 pm, and it is now 19:20 pm. The player entrance ceremony has been completed. Both teams of players have entered the court and are waiting for the game to begin.

Although this game is just a confrontation between first-year rookies and second-year players, the game still attracted many big-name stars to watch the game, because these young players who played the game have more or less related to them.

Coach Wade of the Heat sat on the sidelines with sunglasses and sent out the main lineup. After sending out the main lineup, he began to cheer up his younger brother Michael Beasley; Paul Gasol of the Lakers also walked around the sidelines easily, and his younger brother Mark Gasol was playing on the field; Yao Ming was still popcorn and soda on the sidelines, and the little giant cheered for his two teammates and compatriots; at the same time, some other big-name stars came to the scene, and their arrival brought starlight to the relatively ordinary rookie game.

However, if you look carefully, you can even see Sun Yue's shadow, but Yi Jianlian, who once became a topic figure, disappeared, just like the title given to him by the American media - Space Yi. In the All-Star voting, Yi Jianlian's votes once tied to Garnett, causing a big discussion about whether his strength is proportional to the votes. As a result, Yi Jianlian was injured "at the right time" and withdrew from the All-Star stage.

Yi Jianlian, who withdrew from the All-Star, does not mean evaporating from space. He insists on updating his blog diligently with his inconvenient right hand. He congratulates his teammate Lopez: "I hope he can play on our behalf in Phoenix. The only dissatisfaction is that he has not invited us to dinner yet."

Back to the game, in the past rookie confrontation matches, the second-grade team defeated the first-grade team with big scores, and the second-grade team had to gain a certain advantage in the second-grade competition. Therefore, the second-grade team would gain a little advantage in the rookie confrontation match, which is also an important reason why the second-grade team can win.

But last year was an exception, as the first-year team with twin brothers and Durant successfully challenged, which is also one of the few first-year teams who won in the rookie challenge.

In the 2007 draft, relevant experts believed that this was the best quality of the new players except for the 2003 draft, and they were not inferior to 03 and 96. This is true. Ji Guoqiu, Ji Guomo, Durant, Al Horford, Scola and others all played their own names and occupied the main position in their respective teams. The twin brothers have even been selected for the All-Star Game for two consecutive years.

The 2008 draft was actually not favored by experts. But it was these 2008 rookies that shone this season. The quality of their rookies and the number of them was the best among the rookies in the past decade.

No. 1 pick Ross has become the star of the Bulls and the hope of the team's revival; second-place pick Beasley has also become the sixth player in the Heat, which has played a crucial role in improving the team's performance this season; when Mayo of Tanhua showed his true nature as a scoring leader, and has already shown the trend of squeezing out Guy to become the boss of the Grizzlies; No. 4 Westbrook performed well in the Thunder, Durant, and Green has become the hope of the team's future; No. 5 pick Lov also thrived in the Timberwolves, and he can compete with David Lee in terms of rebounding talent; No. 6 pick

Although Rinani was unable to play due to injury at the beginning of the season, he has now entered the New York rotation lineup and has performed very well; Gordon, the No. 7 pick, took the lead in the Bucks' leash on the days when Michael Reed was away, and had a good performance of more than 30 points in a single game; Augustine, the No. 9 pick, has become the Bobcats' starting guard. In order to give Augustine a place, the team even plans to trade the original starting Felton; as for the No. 10 pick, Lopez, is familiar with Chinese fans, and the dominance he showed in the inside made the Nets' senior management firm up his determination to send Alimar League away.

Among the top ten rookies in 2008, except for the No. 8 pick, Chinese boy Alexander, who did not make a name for himself, the other nine have established their status in the team, which is a height that rookies cannot reach in the past decade. Even the top ten players outside the Blazers Besler, Pacers Rush, Suns Lopez, 76ers Spitz, Wizards McGee, Pacers Hickson, Cavaliers Hickson, Nets Anderson, Magic Lee, Jazz's Covers, and Spurs' Hill all become the team's semi-main or enter the rotation lineup.

There was no such a year as there were so many outstanding rookies in 2008, and there were future leaders such as Ross. This has never happened in the past 10 years, and I am afraid that it only appeared in 1996. Among the newcomers in that world, there were well-known names such as Kobe, Xiao Ai, Allen, and Nash.

If the draft in 2007 was a competition for the Three Kingdoms, then in 2008, the heroes emerged together.

"Guys, we have one missing person this year. Poor Oden quits temporarily, so you will have more opportunities to play. Take advantage of this highly anticipated opportunity and show your real skills to let fans all over the world know you." Wade's words made the first-year team players eager to try. Oden quit. The eight of them are indeed profitable. No one doesn't want to play in such a game for a while, even if it's just a few minutes.

"You have successfully defeated opponents older than you last year. I don't need to say more about what to do this year, unless you also want to be challenged to succeed and tear them apart!" Howard was a coach, even if he was serious about it, the second-grade players wanted to laugh.

"Okay coach, we must complete the task. It's not that easy for them to go against the will of heaven." Ji Guo laughed. In terms of low posts, he and the giant pandas are no worse than Howard now. The two brothers in the second-grade team are veritable leaders. No one of these second-grade players dissatisfied with them.

Oh...well, Durant seems to have never been convinced, but he has the qualifications.

Durant is not in high spirits today. He has little say in the team. In terms of status, he has not been selected into the All-Star Game once. The twin brothers even won the All-Star Game MVP and the Finals MVP. Ji Guoxie is still a member of the 60+ club. Ji Guoqiu has even completed only Jabbar's super triple-double feat. If he adds a series of honors such as the championship and the Olympics, Durant's status is indeed not comparable to the two brothers, so here, the two animals are the boss.

The starter of the second-year team: Aaron Brooks, Sadies Young, Kevin Durant, Ji Guomo and Ji Guoqiu.

First-year team starters: Derek Ross, OJ Mayo, Michael Beasley, Brooke Lopez, Mark Gasol.

The rookie challenge was divided into 20 minutes each in the first and second half. Ji Guochou jumped to the ball and won the second-year-old team took the lead in attacking.

At the beginning of the game, the defense of the two teams was loose, the two brothers did not defend much, and the same was true for the first-year team, and everyone had to say two points. Especially Ji Guomeng was thinking about the story of playing against Bosh in the All-Star Game last year, and hesitated whether to discuss with Brooke Lopez, another twin who was playing against today, and how good it would be for everyone to score points with each other, and the twins would not be beaten.

Both sides went back and forth, after a few rounds of offense and defense, Ji Guoqiu assisted Ji Guomeng to hit a three-pointer, and then dunked himself to start 13-7 in the second grade. However, the "pseudo rookie" Fernandez immediately showed off the superb shooting skills of the Europeans. Gordon was unwilling to let the others scored another 3-pointer, setting off a 14-3 wave to help the first-grade team overtake 21-16.

LeBron James' voice came from the live megaphone: "Why do our giant pandas look weak? Should we ask Ms. Emma to give a kiss to replenish energy?"

Ji Guochou was furious when he heard this. The fake commentator of the Dead Orangutan actually openly mocked him. How could he bear it?

Ji Guomeng smiled in his heart and said, "I think he is right. You let go of water on the defensive end and asked you to take a little leisure last night. I found that the little radish shredded radish walking a bit unnatural today. You are so big, what if you crush someone."

"Nothing is true, let's not pass the ball to you."

"Don't, I'm a slut, you're the uncle!"

Ji Guomeng has scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block at this time. His personal data is the best in the game. The giant Pandas are indeed helping him to brush up the data, but the defensive end is a bit too coping.

At 14:50, the two teams began to substitution, and the second-year team replaced Scora, Ronnie Stucky and Jeff Green, but did not replace the twin brothers. This was what the two requested with Howard in private, and the latter of course gave face. His Majesty Superman acted as the two brothers as his players of the same level as him. If the person requested was Durant, I think Howard would not give face. In His Majesty Superman's opinion, Durant is a junior. Although his schoolbag is about the same age as the twins, the basketball court is not about age, but about strength.

The Rockets' older rookie came on the court, which is a player that Chinese fans are more concerned about. However, in such a performance-oriented game, Scola, who plays practically, does not have much chance of performing. Even his first ball-holding attack was blocked by Brooke Lopez. After only 5 minutes of playing, Scola, who kept running back on the court, was substituted. Obviously, his real and unlucky performance is not suitable for a show like the All-Star weekend.

Ji Guomeng played against the small forward during this period. Poor Durant was replaced after five or six minutes. He could only watch the Fox brother scored several more points on the court before being replaced.
Chapter completed!
