Having long been accustomed to people¡¯s reactions when they saw his smile, Cassell didn¡¯t think anything of his teammates¡¯ half-step back.
He knows that his teammates are sincerely congratulating him. They have worked together in the past three months to achieve such a good record around Zhang Hao. They have basically locked in the playoffs and exceeded pre-season expectations A team on the rise. , it is always easier to cultivate relationships between teammates.

"Uh Well, I ask for a lot of tickets every time I play All-Star. My wife will save all the ticket stubs. Is this considered preparation?"
¡°Wow, that¡¯s so cool! I¡¯m going to keep my ticket stubs in the future too¡¡±

In addition to the fact that Cassell was selected for the All-Star bench, the Sonics players were very happy. After the announcement of the all-star lineup, Vice President Stu Jackson announced the rookie game roster, which also made the Sonics players very happy.
The Rookie Competition was restructured into the Rookie Challenge this year, which means first-year players challenge second-year players, with 9 players per team.

It consists of Di, Wang Zhizhi of the Kings, Reeve LaFrentz of the Nuggets, and Jamieson of the Warriors.
After Carter and Kobe were selected as All-Star starters, they took the initiative to apply to the league to withdraw from the Rookie Challenge.
This makes many fans and many players feel regretful. The rookies in the past two years are simply amazing. Their overall quality is not inferior to that of the rookies from 1995 to 1997. Even other professional players want to see the players from these two seasons play against each other. of grand occasion.
Unlike the future Rookie Challenge, which has become a pure play group, the current Rookie Challenge is exciting just looking at the list.
But the two strongest players from the 1998 and 1999 classes both retired. Although their stars are still bright, it is inevitable that people will feel a little regretful.
However, after Stu Jackson announced the entry list for the comprehensive event day, the regret was immediately washed away.
This year, new celebrity games and challenge games have been added.
A total of 14 people from the entertainment industry, other sports, political and business circles, and other groups were invited who were good at basketball, plus 2 retired NBA players and 2 top stars from the Continental Women's Basketball Association. They were divided into two groups. team, co-ed, playing in the Masters Game.
The challenge is retired n??¡¡±
Zhang Hao arrived in Auckland on the evening of the 12th.
The family had already set off for Los Angeles on the 6th and arrived in Oakland on the 11th. At that time, Zhang Hao went on three consecutive away games with the team.
Time quickly came to the afternoon of the 15th. Zhang Hao concluded three days of business activities. The Greater Bay Area was much busier than the previous All-Star Weekend business activities.
At 7:30 pm, Zhang Hao and his team arrived at the Oakland Coliseum.
In 1997, after the Oakland Coliseum defeated the San Francisco Memorial Coliseum in next door San Francisco to qualify for this All-Star Weekend, it was renovated during the lockout in 1998, spending US$108 million, and the infrastructure was the latest model.
Warriors owner Chris Cohen looked at the row of people sitting across from the technical table.
Zhang Hao, April, Britney, Le Lin, Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Ellie, Wang Zhizhi, Pierce and his son, Pelinka and his wife more than a dozen people sat in three rows, and the first three rows were The seats in the middle were all occupied, and Zhang Hao returned two tickets to them!
"Jamil, should I refuse to give them tickets? Next time he comes to beat us, just get angry and let our fans watch him create 101, and also raise the ticket price"
Warriors general manager Jamil Leaford didn¡¯t know what to say other than laughing.
Chris Cohen said this. He doesn¡¯t want to be like the Raptors or Iverson. When people think of the Raptors, they think of 86, and when they think of Iverson, they think of 58.
By the way, 58 Technology is also sponsoring this All-Star, and there is a 58 Technology billboard on the sidelines.
Opposite the technical stage, in addition to Zhang Hao and his team, top new-generation stars such as Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Duncan, etc. also came to watch the game.
More players are arranged on the bench on one side of the technical table and behind the technical table.
From the position of the ticket given by the host Warriors, the difference in status of the players can be seen.
Soon, the rookies made their debut amidst the host¡¯s introduction.
??For some first-year and second-year players, especially some second-year players, they may rarely have the opportunity to be on the All-Star stage in the future. The Rookie Challenge is their opportunity to show their faces in front of audiences around the world.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.
It is different from the original rookie game where the two teams often scored more than 150 to 160 in the rookie game after Jordan selected Kwame Brown two years later and started the "draft talent is king" freshman class.
At the end of the first half, the first- and second-year teams scored 36 to 35. The second-year players from the class of 1998 were better at attacking, while the first-year team from the class of 1999 was better at defense.
The score in the second half was also very low. Relying on the key long two-point pass and catch by Nowitzki and Jason Williams, the sophomore team scored 39 to 38 in the second half.
? 74 to 74, the first Rookie Challenge went into overtime!
In overtime, since both teams only had 9 rotations, and there were Marion, Szczerbiak, James Posey, Reeve LaFrentz, Olowokandi and others who were not good at and unfamiliar with The players cooperated with each other, and the main players of the two teams were very tired.
At this time, Jason Terry and Brand of the first-grade team showed off their strength and led the first-grade team to a score of 12-6 in overtime.

¡¡
The first game between rookies and second-year players was played in teams, and they played very well.
After the game, all major media were touting how successful this restructuring was.
In the previous draft, 18 players were selected to play in the game. Although it was also very exciting, the players with strong personal abilities were too scattered. Now only 9 players are selected in the first draft, and the intensity and enjoyment of the game are further improved! Fans are more excited than watching NCAA March Madness games.
Some media predict that the future All-Star Weekend and rookie season will be a carnival feast for college basketball enthusiasts!
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao read the news in the newspaper while having breakfast
"The first Rookie Challenge is really good to watch, but who would have thought that this would be the pinnacle of the Rookie Challenge? Boss Joe is truly the god of basketball, and has single-handedly shaken the draft pattern of the NBA for nearly 60 years"
But this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang, just watch the news and complain about it, and then it will be over.
That man has entered the NBA, and Zhang Hao can¡¯t wait to start the sequel to the slam dunk contest 5 years ago!
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.
