(The work matters have been settled, and I can finally find the time and mood to continue my unfinished dream. The task in the second half of the year is to finish writing this book. I hope there will be one or two supporters in the future, thank you!)
On the flight to Phoenix, Sun Yang met a few acquaintances, that is, the Lakers team. Kobe Bryant has already locked up the starting lineup in the Western Conference, while Gasol has also been selected for the main game, as well as Lakers head coach Phil Jackson. The Lakers' previous record was not first in the Western Conference, but ranked second. But because the head coach of the All-Star Game cannot be re-elected, the burden of **Vitch falls on him. []
Sun Yang loves and hates Kobe Bryant. Because of his personality, he can understand Kobe's persistence. The previous confrontations also had their own winners and losers. Kobe is completely different in life and on the court. He is always smiling. Even with a serious face, you can see the softness in his eyes.
Sun Yang and the Lakers arrived at the hotel officially arranged by the NBA and checked in. Their faces are just business cards, and there is no need to take out ID cards or anything like that. The receptionist at the door smiled professionally when she saw Kobe, but she treated Sun Yang differently. It was hard to fake that kind of happiness from the heart. The new generation is better than the old one, and Sun Yang is a popular hot chick. This is also normal. But this situation still makes Kobe a little jealous, and inevitably some ridicule. Sun Yang didn't mind this at all. Anyway, he came here just to have fun, and he didn't expect to bring back a few trophies. That was a matter of becoming a famous star. He was already very happy to be selected.

After Sun Yang and Kobe Bryant settled in, many stars came to stay one after another. Naturally, they visited and teased each other. They are not very picky about hotels. Anyway, they have enjoyed all kinds of things. If they always complain about this, it will make people feel like a country bumpkin, and it will be very cheap.
This year¡¯s top vote-getter is Dwight Howard. He is as noisy as a child and laughs wherever he goes. This top insider can easily be associated with O'Neal, both are living treasures. Fortunately, O'Neal was also successfully selected this time, and fans are looking forward to what kind of sparks they will create.
Sun Yang also saw the cold Rose later, and when he saw Sun Yang, Rose also showed a sincere smile. He doesn't have many friends in the NBA. Sun Yang has known him since college, and has been listed by the media as the theme of the collision between yellow and black in the next ten years. In fact, he keeps in touch with him frequently in life, so he is no stranger to him.
The earliest All-Star events will be the Masters Game and Rookie Challenge held on Friday night, February 13th, which can be considered an appetizer. 2008 is considered to be a big year for the draft. There are top point guards including Rose, Sun Yang, Westbrook, Mayo and so on. People have reason to look forward to the collision between the first-year players and the second-year players led by Durant. It will definitely happen. Quite exciting.
When Sun Yang appeared in the rookie game wearing a red basketball shoe produced by his company, he immediately attracted countless eyeballs because it was too fancy and too showy. Even first-year assistant coach Dwyane Wade couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He was a trendy guy with a sultry vibe to his bones.
This is also the first time that the NBA has used active players as assistant coaches, which can be regarded as an innovation and highlight. The sophomore has won 6 consecutive games without losing, so Howard smiled happily before the game, as if the victory was already certain.
But as soon as the game started, his eyes widened, with disbelief written all over his face, because he scored 8:0 as a freshman, which made Howard unable to laugh. If this record was ended in his own hands, then How embarrassing.
These 8 points came from a three-pointer by Rose and a three-pointer by Sun Yang. Sun Yang also assisted Marc Gasol to complete a dunk on the move. In addition to him, there were Oden and fellow Spaniard Fernandez, three 2007-level rookies who had just started their NBA careers. Among the second-year players, Durant, Jeff Green, Al Horford and Diamond Scola all participated in last year's rookie game and did not represent first-year players last year.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But he was beaten on the court. This made Howard's face become tangled. He did not want to become a laughing stock. Although I like to joke around, a game is a game and they are two different things, so we can¡¯t be careless.
The first-year starting lineup is point guard Sun Yang, shooting guard Derrick Rose, center Marc Gasol, small forward Michael Beasley, and power forward Fernandez. The second-year starting five are point guard Brooks, shooting guard Stuckey, center Scola, small forward Kevin Durant, and power forward Al Horford.
If you just look at it on paper, it¡¯s hard to imagine that the more experienced second-year team is behind 0:8, but it¡¯s understandable when you think about their point guard being Little Black Bean Brooks. If he can rotate the ball, the Rockets will be in the playoffs in recent years. I won't be so worried. More often than not, he couldn't restrain his attacks at all.

Howard had a bad feeling after watching the first quarter. The score on the field was 35:31, and the first-year team led by 4 points. Although it was not a big advantage, it was thrilling to watch him. The situation changed again and again. Once there is a trend of chasing points in the second grade, either Sun Yang or Rose will step up, or it may be the cooperation between the two.
Sun Yang performed well in the first quarter and scored 10 points and 4 assists, while Rose scored 8 points and 3 assists, which was slightly inferior. It can be said that the first grade was supported by the two. If calculated, 32 of the 35 points were related to them.
If the first quarter was an ensemble of Sun Yang and Rose, then the second quarter was Sun Yang's solo performance. At the end of the first half, he scored 19 points and 10 assists, the highest in the game and the only double-double. If they make a comeback, winning the rookie game MVP won't be a big problem.
?Perhaps it¡¯s because good things don¡¯t come easy. As soon as the third quarter started, the sophomores went crazy. First, Durant hit two consecutive three-pointers to narrow the point difference to only 3 points. The situation was in jeopardy. Then Rose and Sun Yang had a slight dispute. At this critical moment, the two fought for the ball, and the originally suspenseful game was dragged into the whirlpool.
