Chapter 794 Yamato, the Unexpected Selection of All-Star Players!

On January 24, 2009, the NBA held an all-star selection party in a grand manner.

This year's NBA All-Star is a year of reform, and it is also David Stern's attempt at reform. The result of the attempt is very important. If the result is good, it will make his next reforms of the NBA smoother.

Although the NBA has developed to this point, the entire NBA has almost become the voice of David Stern. David Stern can be a tyrant in the NBA, but he is actually not very willing to be a tyrant.

Rather than being a tyrant, David Stern is actually more willing to be a cooperative leader.

New York, Madison Square Garden, at six o'clock in the evening on January 24th, the crowd was buzzing with fans, media, celebrities, and celebrities.

I don’t know if future All-Star selection events will continue to be held in Madison Square Garden, but this year, the league did the best it could for this All-Star selection event.

The league has built a huge stage for this year's All-Star Selection Conference, the most dazzling stage, but whether this party is exciting or not depends mainly on the performances of the two protagonists on this stage.

As the protagonists of tonight's party, when Ye Si and Yao Ming appeared wearing the jerseys of the Leafs' Team and Yao's Team specially made by the league for this year's All-Stars, the entire Madison Square Garden burst into applause, and everyone's eyes were on It turned to Ye Si and Yao Ming.

Being watched by so many people at the scene.

Ye Si's face still showed the iconic coldness and aloofness of the Iceberg King.

It even seemed to make others wonder on Ye Si's expressionless face whether he was snoring.

As for Yao Ming, it was a completely different style. When Yao Ming came out, he always had a faint smile on his face, implicit, generous and friendly.

To be honest, although Yao Ming is used to such high-profile occasions, he is really envious of Ye Si walking next to him.

He also hopes that one day the expression on his face will not be so professional.

You can do whatever you want on this stage.

Although Xiao Yezi is now the leader of the national team and the leader of national sports, the image and personality of the country and the leadership are still placed on him.

After all, the leader did not dare to let Xiao Ye change his personality to cater to the world.

Xiao Yezi's status in the sports world is too high now, so high that the leaders of the sports bureau can no longer make unreasonable demands.

This All-Star selection event can be said to be a huge event in the Chinese sports world. The NBA now has too much influence in the world. In Chinese sports, other professional sports, such as football, tennis, and racing, are basically losing ground. Under the overall environment, the 2008 Olympic Games has proved that China is a global sports power. Now the next goal of the Chinese sports world is to prove that it is a sports power.

Big sports countries achieve their influence by the number of gold medals.

As for a sports power, it needs the influence of professional sports to realize its influence.

In the NBA, the world's top professional sports event, the most watched All-Star Game is now dominated by two Chinese players. This sense of imagery will give Chinese sports a seemingly strong feeling to audiences around the world.

This feeling is very important.

Yao Ming came here with such a mission, and he cannot let this feeling weaken.

Because he has a mission on his back, Yao Ming has been thinking about how to show the powerful side of Chinese sports at this year's party and the upcoming All-Star Game.

He has actually been thinking about it for a long time. A wonderful All-Star Game is a must. Both he and Xiao Yezi have to have strong performances in this game. Therefore, in order to ensure the excitement of the All-Star Game and their performance, selection becomes particularly important.

Everyone knows that Xiao Yezi is a willful person, and his draft vision is very troublesome. Now let him choose the All-Star...

From the corner of his eye, Yao Ming saw the same frown on Ye Si's face next to him and felt really uneasy.

Who knows what strange selection tricks Little Ye Ye is thinking about now.

Just when Yao Ming's peripheral vision was focused on Ye Si, who was thinking, David Stern on the stage had already finished the electronic lottery.

Yao Ming received the first selection from the other eight starters.

"Yao, Yes, do you have any objections to this draw?"

David Stern finished speaking with a smile, and after seeing Ye Si and Yao Ming nodding with no objections, he announced the start of the selection.

"Yao, please choose."

O'Neal, David Lee, Garnett, Arenas, Sun Yue, Bowen, Yi Jianlian, Rondo.

That’s the rest of this year’s starting eight.

Although he is an All-Star starter, and although many players are teammates of his national team, to be honest, the quality of this starter is not very high.

It's easy to pick someone who beats your opponent in the All-Star Game, but...

Yao Ming fell into thinking.

"Yao are you thinking now?"

"Does this still need to be thought about? It's hard to say who is the strongest starter, but if Yao Ming and O'Neal are added to the team, they will be invincible, right? Yao Ming will choose first, so O'Neal must be the first one, right?"

The reporters at the scene were a little noisy when Yao Ming was thinking for a long time.

O’Neal, who had just boasted to other Cavaliers players around him that he would definitely be the first to be selected, was a little embarrassed.

“No matter who chooses first, Yao or Yes, the first person to be selected will definitely be me!”

O’Neal’s words seemed to still echo in the Cavaliers’ locker room.

O’Neal felt that although he was a little arrogant, there was really no problem.

Yes chose first, and he needed a player to compete with Yao Ming. In the whole world, who else can compete with Yao Ming except him?

Yao Ming chose first, and if he wanted to win, he only needed to select him to the team. In this year’s All-Star Game, he and Yao Ming would blow up everything!

So, whether it was Yes or Yao Ming, he was the first one. Is there any doubt?

“The first choice of Team Yao is the guard from the Washington Wizards, Arenas!”

Listening to the voice from the TV, O’Neal’s mouth opened wide, and the other Cavaliers players next to him all had the kind of expression that wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

“Yes’s first choice will definitely be me!”

As soon as O’Neal finished speaking, David Stern’s words rang again.

"The first player chosen by the Yes team is the power forward from the Minnesota Timberwolves, Yi Jianlian!"

"..."

O'Neal's face was no longer embarrassed at this time, but his face had begun to darken.

The first choice of Yes was Yi Jianlian. Not only O'Neal felt extremely surprised and incredible, but also the reporters, the audience, the audience in front of the TV, and even Yao Ming and David Stern on the stage were all surprised.

Especially Yao Ming, he really wanted to leave O'Neal to Yes!

Sure enough, Xiao Ye's selection vision is really unbelievable!

No, O'Neal must give it to Xiao Ye!

"The second player chosen by the Yao team is Kevin Garnett, the power forward from the Boston Celtics!"

The second player chosen by Yao Ming is Garnett?

Yes frowned.

Still not O'Neal?

Yes was a little confused.

And O'Neal in front of the TV is now a little autistic.

Before the selection, he had already said in an interview that the first person to be selected this time would definitely be him.

This bragging has been blown out, how to take it back? Waiting online, really a little anxious!

Even if the first one doesn't work, the second one will work, Yes, this shark is so big, he won't be ignored, right? !

"The second choice of the Yes team is Sun Yue, the guard from the Washington Wizards!"

"..."

O'Neal's expectant eyes have begun to become a little empty.

"..."

Hearing David Stern's announcement, looking at the figure of Sun Yue appearing on the big screen in front, Yao Ming's mouth has completely opened.

David Stern next to him was a little confused.

Is this a joke?

Even Sun Yue in front of the TV was a little confused.

Brother Ye's first choice was A-Lian, and the second one was me...

Brother Ye, isn't this too open?

After being surprised, Sun Yue's face was full of expressions of wanting to cry.

Since the All-Star list came out, he has been scolded by the media across the United States for more than a week, all kinds of ugly things, the most unpleasant thing is that if it weren't for Brother Ye and Brother Yao to choose people, no one would choose him, and he would be awkwardly assigned by David Stern!

"Yes's first choice is Yi Jianlian, but why is the second choice Sun Yue?!"

Not only the audience at the scene was shocked, but the entire network was also shocked.

Even Rondo, a player of the Seattle Supersonics and one of the starters of this year's All-Star Game, showed a surprised expression on Twitter.

Looking at the comments on his Twitter that instantly exceeded 10,000, all of which were supporting him and puzzled by Yes's choice, Rondo felt extremely happy!

Damn Ye Xiaojiu, you dared not to choose Erye first!

I'll mobilize public opinion to black you!

"This time I stand on Rajon's side. Yes's selection vision can no longer be complained. Sun Yue is the second choice, which is not as good as Rajon. At least Rajon is still a genuine Rondo-style point guard!"

Damn genuine Rondo-style point guard!

Is Sun Yue also worthy of being a pirated copy?

Also, what do you mean by choosing Sun Yue is not as good as choosing Erye? Is Erye that bad?

Hmm?

Just when Rondo was puzzled, Rondo saw with his naked eyes that his hot Twitter cooled down instantly.

The number of comments that just exploded has been rising slowly.

"Brother Fifteen has spoken out about Yes's selection!"

Not Fifteen but Second? !

Rondo clicked on this guy's Twitter, and there were only three words on this guy's latest tweet.

"Long hands, long feet, hard bones..."

Seeing these three words that are familiar yet unfamiliar to the whole world, Rondo's originally angry mood instantly calmed down.

"According to the explanation of the number one online fan Not Fifteen but Second, Yes's selection principle this time is still long feet, long hands and hard bones!"

"Incredible selection principle!"

"Incredible preference!"

"Incredible quirk!"

"Now, except for Rondo, the players with long hands, long feet and hard bones have been selected, so Yes's next choice is big!"

The commentators and audiences from all over the world were already crazy at this time.

After two consecutive selections, O'Neal was not sent out. Yao Ming now understands that it was the strange quirk of Little Leaf!

In this case...

"The third choice of Yao's team is Rajon Rondo, a guard from the Seattle Supersonics!"

The third one is not me!

The somewhat blackened O'Neal now understands that Yao simply does not want me this time!

In this case, don't blame me for hanging you hard in the All-Star Game after I join the Yes team!

The long arms and long legs have been selected.

Next, it should be the turn of the big pp, right?

O'Neal is still very confident in himself.

If he is not big, then there will be no big ones in the world!

"The third choice of the Yes team is from the Cavaliers..."

"It's me!"

When David Stern read this, he almost jumped up excitedly.

Damn, is it easy for me!

At least it's not the last one!

"The third choice of the Yes team is the power forward from the Cavaliers, David Lee!"

"..."

For a moment, the entire Cavaliers' locker room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. David Lee glanced at the big shark standing there with a frozen expression, and his face was also a little embarrassed.

In Yes's heart, is my butt bigger than Shaq's?

David Lee subconsciously wanted to reach back, but he stopped halfway, elegant, gentleman, smiling!

You must not be the second Harden!

In this selection, Yao Ming has never looked at Yes in the face in order to create a sense of hostility with Yes.

When Yes gave David Lee the third choice, Yao Ming really couldn't help it.

Seeing Yao Ming's eyes now, Yes was also stunned.

Because the meaning expressed by the two when they looked at each other was really... exactly the same!

Yao Ming: Why don't you choose O'Neal!

Yes: Why don't you choose O'Neal!

Little Ye wants to give O'Neal to me? !

After reading the meaning in Yes's eyes, Yao Ming's face was very moved.

If he thought that Xiao Ye chose people according to his preferences, he no longer thought so now.

Xiao Ye chose people who were older this time, who was older than O'Neal?

Xiao Ye kept two Chinese teammates who were not so good for himself, just to protect the self-esteem of the two who had been blackened for so long!

Xiao Ye gave the strongest O'Neal to himself, just to respect him as the big brother!

But...

Xiao Ye, you underestimate your big brother too much, right?

Although the big brother's strength is not as good as yours, but if you want to compete with you, you don't need an O'Neal!

"The fourth choice of Yao's team is the guard from the Spurs, Bruce Bowen!"

Yao Ming did not choose O'Neal!

Yao Ming actually chose to keep O'Neal!

Yao Ming chose Bowen, David Stern can understand that he is the only player in history who can defend Yes alone!

But, it was O'Neal who stayed!

He really didn't expect that O'Neal was the one who stayed in the starting lineup!

"Yes, O'Neal will automatically join the Yes team, is that okay?"

"..."

No immediate answer.

Yes was silent!

After the silence, Yes's face showed a look of disgust.

After showing a look of disgust, he nodded very reluctantly and said, "If you say it's okay, then it's okay."

If you say it's okay, then it's okay...

Looking at the young man on TV who was disgusted and reluctant, O'Neal felt that his heart seemed to be broken at this moment...

At Madison Square Garden, the selection of the All-Star starting lineup has ended.

The selection of the All-Star starting lineup this time caused a huge surprise.

O'Neal, who was considered one of the strongest starting players, was left to the end and was actually accepted by Yes with such disgust!

Watching the scene on TV where Yes chose O'Neal with disgust, James in front of the TV really felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn't even imagine if he was left to the end and was selected by Yao Ming with such a disgusted face. Even if Yao Ming didn't dislike him like Yes, he couldn't imagine how miserable it would be!

James' face is very ugly now.

On TV, TNT has already played the names of all the substitute All-Stars in this year's substitute player pool.

Kobe, Nowitzki, Anthony, Duncan, Oden, Nash, Milicic, Pierce, James, Wade, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Richard Jefferson, Howard.

Looking at the above 14 names, according to Yes's strange aesthetics, who will he choose? Oden? Or Howard? Or Milicic?

At this time, not only James is curious, but also the audience, reporters and even Yao Ming are very curious.

Yes's starting selection just now really shocked everyone.

David Stern looked at the screen in front of him where the answer would appear, and he was also quite nervous.

Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, David Lee, O'Neal...

Yes's random selection in the starting lineup is fine, at least O'Neal is still in Yes's team, but this substitute player is completely different from the starting lineup!

These people here are really strong!

Of course, strong men also have their own levels. If they really choose randomly, the gap will be extremely obvious!

Will Yes choose randomly?

David Stern is very nervous!

And at this moment, when David Stern saw the choice in front of him, the uneasiness and nervousness on his face turned into surprise.

"The first substitute All-Star selected by the 2s team is the small forward from the Miami Heat, LeBron James!"

What? !

LeBron James? !

When David Stern read out this name, there was a silence at the scene, and then it turned into an uproar in an instant!

"Yes actually chose LeBron James?!"

"How is this possible?!"

In front of the TV, LeBron James looked at the uproarious audience on TV, with the same incredible look on his face.

For a while, he was in a complicated mood and didn't even know what to do!

However, the selection process was still going on at this time.

"The first substitute All-Star selected by Team Yao is Stephen Nash, a guard from the Suns!"

"The second substitute All-Star selected by Team Yes is Kobe Bryant, a guard from the Lakers!"

"The second substitute All-Star selected by Team Yao is Tim Duncan, a power forward from the Spurs!"

"The third substitute All-Star selected by Team Yes is Greg Oden, a center from the Grizzlies!"

"The third substitute All-Star selected by Team Yao Ming is Carmelo Anthony, a small forward from the Nuggets!"

"The fourth substitute All-Star selected by Team Yes is Dirk Nowitzki, a substitute All-Star from the Dallas Mavericks!"

Not Wade?

Not Wade?

Is it Nowitzki, the first softie in history, who rose again this year after taking the Afflalo exam and snatched Afflalo's All-Star spot? !

After Yes chose Nowitzki, the whole scene once again erupted in uproar as when Yes chose James just now.

This year, Nowitzki's entry into the All-Stars is controversial.

Most of the media in the United States even think that Afflalo is more qualified to represent the Mavericks in the All-Stars reserve lineup.

Nowitzki is still the nominal boss of the Mavericks, but Afflalo is the real boss!

It is precisely because of this that Nowitzki and James were considered the most likely last remaining players before the game.

However, I really didn't expect that James was the first to be selected by Yes in the All-Star Reserve!

And Nowitzki was also selected by Yes in a relatively forward position!

"Yes really likes Nowitzki!"

"Yes is not showing his favor for Nowitzki as usual, he really thinks Nowitzki is very good!"

He didn't choose Wade, but chose Nowitzki.

Many people in the commentary around the world were shocked, and many people were also incredible, while Nowitzki in front of the TV was quite moved.

Although he has been crazy about being hacked in the past few years, he doesn't care about these false names.

However, even if he doesn't care about such false names, he is still very moved to have such a confidant who respects him when he is at his most depressed. Whether it is the team's owner Cuban or Yes, they are good people who deserve his lifelong respect.

Sure enough, after the absence of Alian and Sun Yue, Xiao Ye's selection in the second round was much more normal.

But Ye Zi showed his kindness by choosing Nowitzki and James. The whole world was discussing who would be the last one between James and Nowitzki in a humiliating way. But in the end, Ye Zi pulled them up.

Nowitzki and James are really good, Yao Ming smiled in his heart.

But...

"Yao's team chose the Miami Heat's guard, Wade, as the fourth substitute All-Star!"

Wade went to Yao Ming's team.

The selection was still going on, and Howard was getting nervous at this time. It shouldn't be, right?

"Yes's team chose the Sonics' center, Darko Milicic as the fifth substitute All-Star!"

"Yao's team chose the Cavaliers' guard, Deron Williams as the fifth substitute All-Star!"

"Yes's team chose the Bulls' guard, Derrick Rose as the sixth!"

"Yao's team chose the Celtics' small forward, Paul Pierce as the sixth!"

The last one!

Howard felt like crying. Brother, are you kidding me like this? Do you have to keep me as the last one?

"Yes's seventh choice is the Cavaliers' small forward, Richard Jefferson!"

Not me? !

Looking at the wry smile on Yao Ming's face on TV, Howard didn't want to cry, he really wanted to cry.

Is Yao looking down on me?

This expression of Yao must be looking down on me? !

At the moment when the selection of the All-Star players was over, Howard and O'Neal, who couldn't stand each other's opponent, almost wanted to question Yes at the same time.

"Am I not big/long enough!"
