Chapter 124: Rookie game

At noon on February 6, it was rare for Li Nan to invite the whole team to dinner at the Chinese restaurant for the first time.
This is to connect feelings and celebrate the holiday!
Our New Year's Eve!
On the other side of the ocean, it is New Year's Eve at this time. The whip blasted, fireworks filled the sky, and the family gathered together to eat New Year’s Eve dinner, watch the Spring Festival Gala, watch the year...
In Philadelphia, Li Nan could only make do with a Chinese restaurant.
The Chinese restaurant during the Spring Festival was dressed up as a prosperous and festive color, and large plates and bowls of delicious Chinese dishes were successively served on the table.
Buddha jumping over the wall, lion head, roast duck...
Seeing the delicious color of the thick oil red sauce, some teammates who had never eaten Chinese food moved their index fingers, but they were all cautious.
"what is this?"
"what is that?"
"Isn't it stinky tofu?"
"I heard that Chinese food is made with those organ meats"
"..."
At this moment, there is a table on the side,
"Ah! Uncle Cheeks, the big drumstick of the roast duck belongs to me!"
"Tayala, this is roast duck, no chicken legs!"
"I don't care, I saw that first, it's mine!"
While others were still hesitating, Iverson’s daughter Tayala robbed Cheeks.
Since meeting Li Nan, Cheeks has become fat. He eats Chinese food every day, and he even has a few specialties.
Cheeks was clutching the crispy roasted duck wings, chewing his mouth full of oil.
"Well, delicious, delicious!"
Seeing those guys just like him, Iverson also smiled.
"Everyone, hurry up and eat. This guy Li has finally made a treat. If you don't eat this time, you won't have a chance next time."
If you don’t eat this time, you won’t have a chance next time?
That's true!
After this meal, maybe I won’t see it tomorrow.
Li Nan also sighed in his heart.
However, he smiled and asked everyone. "Am I so stingy?"
Many guys even said in unison, "Yes!"
Li Nan said helplessly, "Oh~I can't help it. After all, I am poor and I have to support my family, so I can't spend money randomly."
"Huh~~"
Many people sneered.
Li Nan is not poor at all, at least he is richer than three-quarters of the people present.
Those people didn't start, but Iverson came first by himself. He likes the Buddha jumping over the wall most.
Come and take a bite.
"Shoo~"
It has the rich flavor of rice wine, which is simply not too beautiful.
Seeing how delicious they were eating, Frank King couldn't help but tasted a small piece of roast duck.
"Ok?"
Seeing Frank's stunned look, Blanco immediately stopped vigilantly.
"How? How? Isn't it (difficult to eat)?"
As a result, Blanco saw Frank closing his eyes and then slowly chewing his mouth, shaking his head unconsciously.
"Well~ it's so delicious!"
Blanco didn't believe it, he chose to be the same as Iverson.
Shoo~
"Wow~"
Two words are written on Blanco's face, delicious!
Jerry Stackhouse and they also took the first step one by one, taking a small sip carefully, and then,
"Wow!"
"I have lived in vain for more than 30 years!"
"My tongue seems to be eaten by me!"
"Frank, that's mine..."
The atmosphere is very lively, so that Li Nan slightly forgets the sadness of homesickness.
...
On February 7, the Spring Festival arrived, and a festive atmosphere enveloped China.
On this day, Cleveland, Ohio is also celebrating the festival, it is very lively.
This is the first day of the All-Star Weekend, an official fan carnival event.
The next night, the appetizer of the All-Star Weekend, the Rookie Challenge, was finally served.
This year's rookie game is still a competition for rookies from the East and the West.
The coaching staff selected the nine best rookies of the season in early February.
Eastern forces:
Li Nan, Iverson, Antoine Walker, Camby, Dampier, Ray Allen, Potapenko, Kittles, John Wallace
East coach: Johnny Davis (76ers)
Western Forces: Raheem, Fisher, Kobe, Knight, Maloney, Wright, Nash, Marbury (out of play due to injury), Walker (out of play due to injury)
West Force Coach: Danny Angie (Sun)
...
Before the game, a dozen rookies were all in a locker room, noisy.
Everyone knew each other during the draft, and they were very close to each other now.
Kobe is still very lively in the crowd, laughing, booing, and moving.
Li Nan was fairly open today. Shake hands with this and say hello to that.
I got to know these proud children of the 96 golden generation, and they are probably familiar with each other.
"Hey, Lee, we meet again."
Kobe came over suddenly and proactively extended his hand.
Li Nan also shot politely.
Snapped! Give a slap.
"Man, nice to meet you."
Compared with last year's summer league, Kobe has changed a lot, and he has become more confident.
Is this the change brought about by big cities?
Seeing Li Nan seemed to be staring at him, Kobe felt a little uncomfortable.
"Lee, don't be so serious today. This is the All-Star Weekend and everyone is here to have fun."
"Huh? It's such a coincidence, I also came to have fun."
I say so.
However, Li Nan would not listen to Kobe nonsense. It's a lie to come for leisure during the All-Star weekend.
After saying hello to Li Nan, Kobe walked to Iverson.
Iverson wrapped his ankle intently around the closet.
He is a habitual sprained ankle, every game must be very serious to protect.
However, many reasons for his sprained ankle are his various direction changes. Without reducing those burdensome actions, this ankle wrap is also "a temporary solution but not a permanent cure."
There was a cold face on his face, it seemed that some strangers should stay away.
Generally, no one dares to get too close.
But Kobe is here.
"Hey, Allen!"
"What are you doing?"
Iverson didn't look up, but continued to concentrate.
"Does it work for you to wrap around like this?" Kobe looked curious.
"Of course." Coldly.
"Can I learn?" Kobe became a little interested.
Anyone who plays basketball is not badly injured, it may be good to learn some protective measures.
Iverson raised his head and glanced at Kobe ~EbookFREE.me~ is still cold. "whatever."
Kobe is still very good at being able to talk so much to Iverson!
At this moment, someone suddenly raised the volume.
"Everyone, everybody, I have a suggestion. Let's treat today's match as an exhibition match, okay? Everyone will go on stage and show off..."
The speaker is the social flower that makes this dressing room so lively, Derek Fisher.
Fisher smiled brightly today. Timberwolves' Marbury retired due to injury, he took advantage of the situation and became the starter. Of course he is in a great mood.
Eric Dampier raised his hand in agreement.
"Yes, there is no problem at all, as if we were participating in the All-Star Game."
All-star race? Dampier really dare to think about it.
However, everyone was happy, "hahahaha~~"
