Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 115 New Orleans
"Hi, Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

On February 2, Da Zhuang brought Kelly to New Orleans. From afar, he saw Kelly's father standing there with a beautiful woman on his arm. After seeing Da Zhuang, he smiled and said hello. .

Sure enough, it's Valentine's Day. If you don't mention it, I thought you had two daughters.

But it looks like Uncle Carina, you like All-Stars too. "

"I can't say whether I like it or not, it's just a packaging of the alliance. Besides, you are going to enter the alliance now, so you have to get familiar with some things. How about it? I often see you on some news recently. Name, do you need help?" The two hugged and asked.

"It's nothing, I don't think those can affect me, so there is no need to bother with them.",
"Well, but I still want to remind you that sometimes too much tolerance will make some people more unscrupulous. You need to tell them what your bottom line is. I think this is useful. Chen, I know you Chinese people I have a humble personality and don't like to cause trouble, but sometimes it will cause trouble, can you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" Da Zhuang nodded and said.

"I can see that Kelly loves you very much. She has been like this since she was a child. She is independent, and she will always move in that direction when she recognizes one thing. This is not like me at all, but very similar to my father, but Either way, I don't want to see her get hurt."

"I understand, Uncle Turner, I love her too!"

"bless all of you!"

"Is the chat over? My dear father, should we go in?"

"No problem at all."

"What did he tell you?" Kelly asked softly as she walked behind her big and strong arms.

"I didn't say anything, just talked about some things about the team."

"Really?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you? Let's go, in fact, there is nothing to see here today. If you don't want to watch the game later, we can go shopping around."

This is the second time in seven years that New Orleans has hosted the All-Star Game.

Today is the first day. In fact, according to the schedule, the activities of the All-Star Weekend will start at noon, and 11 noon will be the public training for both parties participating in the Rookie Challenge.

Then there will be an all-star media meeting in the afternoon.

Then there was the announcement of the Hall of Fame. The first game of the evening was the Masters, and the last was the Rookie Challenge.

So the current climax is at night, and during the day it is more about some activities of the alliance, or activities held by some brand sponsors.

The All-Star Weekend is held for three days. The first day should be regarded as a hot spot. Many programs are basically concentrated on the second and third days, and Da Zhuang will not have much time to accompany Kelly tomorrow. According to the league's schedule It is arranged that tomorrow at 12:7 noon there will be an open training session for the stars of the East and West. He will definitely appear as the head coach of the West at that time. In addition, at [-]:[-] p.m. there will be a press conference for Adam Silver, who is also Davis Turn's retirement ceremony.

Then at 8 o'clock in the evening, there will be shooting star challenge, skill contest, three-point ball contest and dunk contest in sequence.

On the last day, Da Zhuang will also participate in some charity activities arranged by the alliance.

Then came the grand finale of the night—the All-Star Game.

So after arriving in New Orleans, Da Zhuang also accompanied Kelly to play in Orleans for a day.

The origin of New Orleans comes from the Duke of Orleans, the regent of Louis XV. It was once a luxurious and corrupt North American colony for the French upstarts. It has a very interesting nickname - Joyful.

On the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, it is an important port city in the beautiful state of Louisiana.

A typical city in water, because it has an upper city and a lower city, and this is just at the upper and lower reaches of the Mississippi River, and because the Mississippi River just makes a bend here, the new combination of the upper city and the lower city Orleans formed a crescent shape, so it has the title of Crescent City.

The entire city is located ten feet below sea level, and its unique location creates a view of New Orleans, but this city in water was hit by the famous Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

That was an unprecedented disaster, and it was this disaster that exposed many problems in this city.

For example, the city's public drainage system, a city that has been built for 200 years, the drainage system was not completed until the beginning of the [-]th century.

Another example is that New Orleans has a unique spectacle. Because the city is surrounded by swamps, a large pothole will suddenly appear on the roads in the city from time to time.

Every time I go to a place for a whole day, Kelly will tell Da Zhuang some introductions about the city, which also allows Da Zhuang to learn a lot about the city.

"So from your introduction, this city is actually trash?"

"Anyway, I don't like it. I seldom come here. Don't come here especially in the rainy season, especially in the old town. The smell can make you sick and unbearable." Kelly shrugged her shoulders and said.

That night, Da Zhuang accompanied Kelly and Kelly's father to the New Orleans Arena to watch the Rookie Challenge.

It is worth mentioning that since 2012, the Rookie Challenge has no longer divided into first-year and second-year teams. Instead, a mixed team has been adopted, and the two head coaches will choose 9 players to compete against each other.

Maybe at this time, the league is already considering that the All-Star Game will also cancel the East and West.

The two head coaches of this year's rookie challenge are Webber and Hill, and Middleton was also selected by Weber because of his outstanding performance in the Timberwolves. Unfortunately, Bennett missed the rookie challenge due to injury.

As an exhibition game, the intensity of the natural game is not that high, and it is more about the personal display of the players.

In the end, the Hill team defeated the Webb team 142 to 136.

However, there was an episode when the award was presented. Drummond won the MVP of this rookie challenge with 30 points and 25 rebounds. When it came time to present the award, the presenter Wilperdo handed the trophy to Drummond. When he was in Germany, a trophy accidentally fell on the ground and it fell into two halves. Everyone at the scene was shocked, and the faces of the award presenters were so embarrassing. Drummond could only be two With one hand, the temporary splicing of the trophy was held above the head.

For many people at the scene, I am afraid that the game is not as interesting as such a picture.

Middleton only played about 15 minutes in this game and scored 10 points and 4 assists. Overall, he played mediocrely.
