One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Three. All-Star Weekend Is Coming

When choreographing for Kobe, Yao Ming, Wade, and Randolph, Sun Ce deliberately increased the number of hip shaking and twisting movements, highlighting the key points and increasing the coquettishness index...

In addition, there was also the hairstylist brought by Duncan. Sun Ce asked him to help James design his hairstyle and provided the design concept, and he and Teacher Axe hit it off immediately.

The scene of Duncan and James fighting heads, Sun Ce thought it was beautiful.

As for him and Bosh, of course, they were responsible for the most manly muscle-showing dance steps.

The arrangement was well done, and Sun Ce used his eloquence to make others question it but unable to refute it.

…

The three-day commercial activities and dance training finally ended, and the next step was to start rehearsals, which was relatively easy.

On February 19, the All-Star Weekend began!

Today is the activity day for the rookies, and the rookies are the protagonists.

Although not all players participating in the Rookie Game can play well, major sponsors have bet on these young potential stocks. The endorsement contracts they offer are different, some are potential star group contracts of 50,000 to 150,000 US dollars, and some are formal endorsement contracts.

Young players participating in the Rookie Game, such as Harris Barnes, Kemba Walker, Parsons, etc., are all potential star group contracts.

Lillard signed a formal endorsement of 6 million for 3 years, Klay Thompson also signed a 6-year 20 million endorsement contract with a Chinese brand, Irving just entered the NBA and got a 7-year 50 million endorsement contract, and Spanish golden boy Rubio also got a long-term contract of 2 million a year when he entered the NBA.

In the Rookie Game, the endorsement activities arranged by major brands are all for the players participating in the Rookie Game.

However, Klay Thompson withdrew from this year's All-Star Rookie Game and went to train with his father, former NBA No. 1 pick Michael Thompson.

In addition to Klay Thompson, Pistons backup center Andre Drummond also withdrew from the Rookie Game.

The two players that Sun Ce paid the most attention to in the Rookie Game withdrew from the game. He was not particularly interested in this game, but the new rule now is that after the first and second year players are selected, two active players will be the head coaches to select the players.

This year's two head coaches are Miami Heat backup small forward McGrady and Mavericks sixth man Carter, which made Sun Ce interested in watching the game again.

The cousins ​​deliberately separated Irving and Anthony Davis into two teams.

Although Lillard has almost locked in this year's best rookie, in terms of attention, the talented Anthony Davis is more popular, and Irving is the only All-Star player among the players participating in the Rookie Game. This double team duel is very interesting to fans and many players.

Irving and Anthony Davis are too talented, just like Griffin + Rondo. According to media reports, Anthony, who withdrew from the All-Star Game due to injury, will choose to leave the team after his contract expires at the end of this season. There are also reports that Anthony has made it clear that he will not renew his contract if he is traded to any team, and will choose to test the free market. The Rockets have no way to stop the loss.

As for Anthony's personal wishes, according to media reports, the Knicks, Clippers, and Hornets are his first choice. These three teams represent New York, Los Angeles, and the South Coast, which are all cities that players like. Even New Orleans, after several years of reconstruction, has regained its tourism industry and the living environment is not inferior to Miami.

I saw the news that the Rockets are selling Anthony everywhere, but because Anthony stated that he would not renew his contract, no team was willing to give good chips, at most giving a few expired contracts. Sun Ce felt that another soap opera was about to begin.

Although Anthony's team performance in the past two years is not good, his personal performance has earned him the nickname "An Lubu" in China, and he has become a famous empty-cut group leader. He is also young and very popular in the free market.

After a day of dance rehearsal and basketball practice, Sun Ce went to watch the rookie game with his teammates and former teammates who will participate in the three-point contest tomorrow.

They are called head coaches, but in fact Carter and McGrady just select players and arrange rotations according to the popularity of the rookies, tactics and so on... There is no tactics in the rookie game.

Before the game, Randolph sang "The Prodigal Son Returns".

After the game started, the combination of Irving + Faried on Carter's team was invincible! The combination of Lillard and Anthony Davis was irresistible.

In the end, Irving scored 32 points and 16 assists, and Faried scored 38 points and 16 rebounds. The two led McGrady's team to beat Carter's team 162 to 144 and won the victory.

Sun Ce felt that the league had created a confrontation between Carter and McGrady just to sell feelings.

But there are really fans who buy into this. McGrady and Carter's fans kept arguing online, and even argued about who would be a better head coach after the two retired.

As for McGrady, Sun Ce thinks that McGrady might be bored after retirement and will go to coach young players or be an assistant coach.

But Carter... this guy, Sun Ce can't predict who will retire first between James and Carter...

...

After entering the All-Star Weekend, the trade deadline on February 23 is getting closer and closer, and some large and small transactions have occurred in the league.

The Grizzlies have also received many offers, and there are a lot of teams interested in the five players of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders.

Even Beverley and Crowder have team offers.

"Robert, the Magic want to use this year's and the next two first-round picks to trade for Paul, and they are also willing to add Redick..."

"No! We are gradually finding the feeling of last season, and Noah's personal performance is also improving. We can't affect the current trend. Chris, I have seen many defending champions mess up their lineups, but failed to defend their titles. We need to maintain continuity. We are not short of talent. We have Noah and Klay. Paul's three-pointers are enough, and no one can replace his defense at present."

Grizzlies owner Robert Pera has no intention of trading the five main rotation players.

Even if the offer from the other party is very tempting, he doesn't want to agree.

Maybe at the end of this season, the trading value of these players will drop. After all, the contracts of these five people are very cheap now. The trading value of cheap contracts will naturally drop every year, because the Grizzlies cannot renew all of them.

But owner Robert Pera made it clear that defending the title is the top priority.

Even Beverly, a player who played like a mad dog when Nash got a chance to play during his rest, the Grizzlies are unwilling to trade him. There is always a possibility that he can be used in the playoffs.

Moreover, Robert Pera has other considerations. Regardless of whether he can successfully defend the title, it is more important to let Sun Ce play happily. The trading of Paul George, a player who has partnered with Sun Ce for nearly three years, is bound to cause dissatisfaction.
