138: Who the hell is fooling me? (5.9K(1/3)
This is the first time for Sharapova to see such a grand basketball game. To be precise, this is a series of events that lasts for an entire weekend.
On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, even though it was just an appetizer like the Rookie Game, there were still many people coming to the scene.
This year's rookie game is indeed very eye-catching. After all, although this lineup is not as good as the main game, it can already be described as star-studded.
On the second-year team, there are four quasi-All-Stars who have already made a name for themselves.
On the first-year team, there is also Wayne, a player who became popular in the United States because of his fighting and who also won a starting position on the Eastern Star Team.
Counting Wade and James on the second-year team, there are three serious All-Star players in this year's rookie game, and two of them are All-Star starters.
Looking at the entire rookie game history, such a lineup is also very valuable.
What's more, this year's rookie game also features Denver's star player Carmelo Anthony, so it's not surprising that the scene is so popular.
Even though most people think that this is almost a game without any suspense, the second-year team will win easily.
But even just for the lively scene and dazzling lineup, it's worth the price of admission.
Sharapova looked up at Wayne's poster outside the arena and couldn't wait to enter the arena.
Well, many people say that the outcome of this game has been decided, and the strength of the second-year students is far higher than that of the first-year students.
But she doesn't think so.
Because she knew that the guy who was very similar to her would not give in easily to any powerful force.
Even if everyone is not optimistic about it, Wayne will fight hard.
Sharapova did not make a mistake, because at this time Wayne was indeed making final preparations to win the game.
To be exact, not only Wayne, but the entire first grade team was gearing up today.
Under the influence of seven people headed by Wayne, the atmosphere of the entire team became quite serious.
Perhaps most people used to think that the All-Star Game was just for fun.
But in this first-year team, no one participates in the rookie game with the mentality of having fun.
Defeating the incredible 03 Super Platinum Generation is their goal!
So when first-year coach P.J. Carlesimo walked into the locker room, he was stunned.
After exiting, he took a look at the door number of the locker room door to make sure he was in the right place before he stepped in with all his strength.
"Why... why are you so serious? Relax, this is your show today, just enjoy it." Carlesimo adjusted his glasses, how could these first-year brats feel like they were mastering each other every minute?
Someone rushed up and choked me.
"If we can't win the game, how can we enjoy it?" Wayne stood up with a smile and walked to Carlesimo, "Today we want to play a real game, coach."
"A real...game?" Carlesimo was completely confused. What's going on with these brats?
Do you have such a strong desire to win?
But the desire to win is strong, and the scoring situation depends on the situation.
Facing the highly praised class of 2003, you took the lead and competed with them in a real competition.
Just one James is enough to torture a lot of people.
Besides, this is Denver's home court, and it's almost written into the "script" for Anthony to win the MVP of the rookie game.
Not to mention whether the referee will help, will Anthony let the victory slip away?
He is indeed a young man, and his thoughts are simple.
"The real game isn't during the All-Star Weekend, guys." Carlesimo smiled and shook his head, not paying much attention to Wayne's words.
"As long as the players want to turn it into a real game, then the All-Star Weekend is a real game, coach." At this time, Okafor also stood up.
This surprised Carlesimo even more.
It’s not just Wayne who is a thorn in the side? Even Mr. Perfect Okafor is like this?
Is this a cowardly situation?
"You...don't really want to win the second-year team, do you?"
"It's not that we want to do it, but we are planning to do it. Therefore, we ask you to give us enough freedom. We will play this game in our own way." Wayne was still smiling, but Karaximo felt that he could not say anything.
If you don't, you'll get a slap in the face.
This guy is really afraid of being beaten by his own players...
Carassimo is not a person who cannot understand words. What Wayne just said, in short translation, is: "Don't interfere in our game blindly."
Well, Carasimo understands it very well.
To put it bluntly, I don’t want to let myself make random arrangements. This game is all up to you.
What else can be done? Do you really think the coach of the rookie team has any real power?
After all, the All-Star Game is not about the players.
"I won't interfere with you, and I don't care how you fight. As long as you don't get into trouble, you can play however you want. Again, this is your game."
Carlesimo nodded obediently, then sat aside and opened the thermos cup and drank.
As expected of an old tool man, the position is still very correct.
Twenty minutes later, the lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed.
Then, two spotlights hit the two players' tunnel entrances respectively.
Suddenly, the whole place burst into cheers.
The players are about to take the field!
Since it is an All-Star game, everyone, whether they are starters or substitutes, has an introduction ceremony.
The first-year team was the first to appear. Everyone was introduced in great detail, and everyone received the treatment only a star player can have.
The final appearance of the first-year team is undoubtedly Wayne, who is currently number one in the rookie rankings.
When he was introduced, the shape of the spotlight changed into the Batman logo.
When it comes to creating an atmosphere, the NBA has indeed done an impeccable job.
"...Next, another starting forward, from the Indiana Pacers. He is the god of war in the cornfield, a bloodthirsty bat, let us welcome, Wei~~~~en!"
With the on-site DJ shouting, Wayne rushed out of the tunnel and raised his arms, and the Pepsi Center also ushered in the first small climax.
"Wayne is here. Today, Wayne is the finale! This shows that Wayne is regarded as the best among these rookies by default!" Director Zhang was at the scene at this time and felt the extremely warm atmosphere.
During this period, the Chinese commentary team cannot go to the scene every two days.
Under normal circumstances, CCTV will only send a commentary team to the All-Star Game and the Finals.
This year's All-Stars include both Wayne and Yao Ming. CCTV will definitely not sit still and wait.
After Wayne came on the court, all the first-year team players gathered in a circle.
Some of them really wanted to win the game, some were fooled by Wayne, and some just wanted to join in the fun.
But no matter what, at least they are united in this game.
"Hey, Wayne has great leadership skills and encourages everyone like a good big brother. The key is, everyone also obeys him. You can see that everyone is very cooperative. So, it is not unreasonable for him to appear in the finale.
"
As long as you dare to give a picture, Director Zhang will dare to brag about it.
At this point, we begin to introduce the players from the 2003 class.
Compared to just now, the 2003 class received louder cheers when they came out.
When Carmelo Anthony made his final appearance, Wayne felt as if the entire Pepsi Center was shaking.
Let’s call it a home game!
Anthony waved to all the fans. It was hard to come to the All-Star Game, so he must keep his rookie game victory and the MVP trophy in Denver!
"The starting players on both sides are already in place. I have to say that the second-year team is really shining with stars. The starting players are Wade, James, Anthony, Bosh and Haslem."
"For the first-year team, the starting lineup is Howard, the No. 1 pick, Okafor, Wayne, the No. 3 pick, and Devin Harris, the No. 5 pick!"
Sure enough, the No. 12 pick didn't deserve to be drafted in front of him, and Director Zhang's introduction was simply amazing.
Anthony looked at Wayne with great interest. It was quite interesting to face off against the strongest player in the first-year team, and it would also make the rookie game MVP more valuable.
Of course, in O's eyes, he is the strongest player in the first-year team.
Wayne? Wayne is here to help me!
Therefore, he felt that Bosh on the opposite side was avoiding his gaze!
"Humph, you can't escape, the dreadlocked ostrich!" Okafor said to himself in his heart.
In fact, Bosh simply didn't pay attention to him...
"Hey, the rookie game is so troublesome... Hurry up and finish it, hurry up and leave, there are still programs tonight." This is what Bosh was thinking in his heart at this time.
Wayne jumped up and down a few times, and didn't forget to mutter a few words to his teammates before going on the field.
To be continued...
