Chapter 494: [Don’t let me pick it up, I’m going to play against O’Neal]

Denver's coldness made Yang Rui want to go home as soon as he left the airport.
The Nuggets’ Pepsi Center is 1,606 meters above sea level, on the edge of the Los Angeles Mountains, on the east bank of the South Perret River, on the Colorado Plateau. Such a bad environment, how can people feel the mood to play?
Probably many people think so, so the city’s All-Star weekend atmosphere is the most deserted in a few years.
Everyone followed the pick-up staff to the hotel. Except for the huge portrait of the star printed on the hotel's curtain wall, they could not find any signs related to the All-Star game within a 50-meter radius. Even one of the pedestrians on the road was wearing a jersey It is also the sky blue of the Nuggets.
The next morning, the weather was quite good for the All-Star Game. The gloomy day before was completely clear. Yang Rui called Yao Ming and Ye Li and asked the bodyguard to rent an extended version of the luxury Lincoln car and drove to the western suburbs of Denver. Of a steak restaurant.
This restaurant, "America on the Tip of the Tongue", once said that the steak is great, and the lobster is also good. Due to the remote location, there are not many guests.
The Denver All-Star weekend only affected the city center. Hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs were overcrowded. Restaurants and shops in other places were in poor business. The bosses were screaming.
After a while, the two chatted about basketball.
Yang Rui said with a smile: "Don't be polite when you are in the All-Star Game. You have a chance to take a bold shot. The defense of the Star Game is not very strict. I suggest that you add three points during training and then shoot three-pointers."
Yao Mingjiu. "That's not good?"
"Kobe Bryant participated in the All-Star Game for the first time in 1998. He made the most shots in the West. He dared to challenge Jordan. The whole world knew him. Now you have to fight for opportunities and show yourself. I will arrange for Nash to play a pick-and-roll with you. Ball. You will most likely face Iverson’s defense by then."
"If I shoot a lot of threes, will my teammates have an opinion?" Yao Ming smiled bitterly.
Then you shout: "Don't want me to pick and roll, I want to go against O'Neal."
"..."
"Just kidding, I know you can't shout."
Yao Ming asked: "Aren't you going to arrange tactics for Kobe?"
"Nothing happened to him this time. The fans must have booed as soon as he played. You didn't find that he had no emotions, didn't you want to come?"
Because of the Eagle County incident, Denver fans booed Kobe more than any other NBA city. In the last away game, countless fans shouted, and fans sneered Kobe by holding the guilty slogan.
Perhaps the Nuggets fans resent not only the Eagle County incident, but also the choice of the Nuggets management. In 1996, the Nuggets holding the No. 10 pick could select Kobe, but then the team's president and coach Bernie Bickerstaff thought there were no more players to choose from and traded the No. 10 pick.
This is probably one of the worst trades in Nuggets history, not only missed Kobe, but also missed the entire 96 golden generation, there are many stars behind, Bickerstaff is absolutely blind.
Ye Li, who accompanied Yao Ming to the star weekend, said: "Don't hesitate, this time Brother Yang is the head coach, can help you arrange tactics, you will have no chance in the future, don't you want to win more awards?"
"Brother and sister are right, usually playing team is a good thing, but this kind of entertainment game, you should let go. You can also play fast breaks, break the ball with something, it doesn’t matter if you can’t score, you have to show yourself The technology is unexpected for fans. If you only play for a while and score a few points, Chinese fans will be disappointed."
"Okay, I'm practicing a three-pointer. If I meet strict defense, I should pass the ball?" Yao Ming made up his mind, who doesn't want to be a star of the stars? This is his own honor and glory for the country.
"Yes, pass the pass to the passer and brush the assists. You also have to wait for the opportunity to cut the lead and grab the offensive rebound. The Western Conference is a big man lineup with an advantage inside, especially when O'Neal is away. If O'Neal is there, he Will not come out to interfere with your jumper."
O'Neill is usually reluctant to prevent pick-and-roll, star games certainly will not leave the restricted area, this is a weakness that can be used. If the star game needs to defend hard, it is estimated that he will not want to participate.
In the afternoon, Yang Rui and the stars participated in community activities at one time.
He accepted an exclusive interview with Chinese journalists and assured Chinese fans in Chinese that he would give Yao Ming enough playing time.
"This is the first time that Chinese players have participated in the All-Star Game. It has extraordinary significance. I hope Yao Ming will perform well. Yao Shao in the star game will be very exciting."
Yang Rui did not forget to promote the other players in the team. "Tomorrow's dunk contest is also very exciting, Iguodala prepared a new trick, fans remember to pay attention, don't miss the exciting scene."
As soon as the news came out, all Chinese fans began to look forward to the star race. Yao Ming's personality was low-key, but everyone was full of confidence in Yang Rui.
"Yang Rui's best is not to lead the team to win, but to help the players to brush the data. Who will arrange the tactics for him, this person will definitely break out."
"Looking forward to the star game's scoring, Yao Ming will win O'Neill again, this year's first center title will be handy."
"I think O'Neill has been cast out by the drug combination, and the West will win."
In the evening, the rookie game took the lead and the sophomore team easily won. Now people who participate in the star race can also participate in the rookie game without conflict. Anthony played at home, scoring 31 points and winning the MVP.
Last season, David Stern expressed his dissatisfaction with the rookie game becoming a complete exhibition game, and today the defense and physical confrontation between the two sides have been significantly strengthened.
Really, the 2004 rookie faced the impact of the golden generation, and had no strength at all.
During the awards, cheers from home fans rang. Anthony couldn't help but be interviewed. "It's great to be able to win what I want at home~EbookFREE.me~. He is another highlight in my professional resume."
His last highlight, going back to the time of the NCAA championship and the MVP of the Final Four, this year's Anthony news is all black spots. If it is not at home, he may not be selected.
Moreover, with this award, when the star is in the game, Yang Rui does not have to give the home star face, specially arranged tactics to help Anthony get MVP, he is only a substitute, not very popular.
On Saturday, in the Mixed Shooting Contest, the three teams of Sun Shawn Marion, Tauris and Dan Marel took a total of 28 seconds to complete the game, won the laurels, and took away $30,000 in prize money.
The second project skill challenge was again the performance time of the Sun players. Nash deserved to be a super point guard. His shooting and passing were all shots. It took only 25.8 seconds to complete and easily won the championship.
In the three-point contest, Mo Williams scored only 13 points and was eliminated in the group stage. He is usually used to running and catching shots. His shooting percentage is very high. In the three-point contest, he takes the ball himself. The rhythm is different from usual, which affects the feel. This is also the reason why many excellent pitchers do not play well in the star game.
Damon Jones reached the final with 18 points and beat the Mavericks Joe Johnson to win the championship.
Joe Johnson made 47.1% of his three-pointers in the regular season. He also performed best in the preliminaries. He scored 20 points. After he had no choice but to enter the final, he lacked some luck. The last three flowers missed and only scored 17 points.
Luck shooting is critical. In Yang Rui’s previous life, Stephen Curry was an example. He was invincible in three points in the game. The star’s performance has been unstable on the weekend and won only once.
Finally, the final dunk contest is about to begin.
Yang Rui helped Iguodala think about his actions, copied the ideas of the future, and took the path of others, leaving others nowhere to go.
