NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 200 Easy All-Star

On the plane to Houston, Nora chatted with Russell enthusiastically.

The main reason is that the project made a lot of money. Now that she has confidence in the company, she is preparing to invest in new film and television works.

"Sure enough, investment is still guaranteed by investing in blockbuster films. The films that exploded in box office last year were all blockbusters without exception. I conducted a professional analysis..." Nora said excitedly.

Russell couldn't help pinching his girlfriend's pretty face, he said with a smile: "Isn't this a matter of course, no one will disrespect Meiyun."

"However, big investment also has big risks. We will discuss this aspect more."

Nora glared at him reproachfully, "Of course I know this. I'm a professional. I found that blockbuster movies that make money all have something in common. I'm already planning to use this as my master's thesis."

Russell was talking nonsense with Nora casually. He didn't know if he was professional or not, but he definitely knew what blockbuster movies made money.

During the All-Star Weekend, the rare time during the regular season when he can spend a few days with his girlfriend, Russell of course also fooled Nora over.Fortunately, Nora was not very busy at this time, and the two came here together intimately.

They have a free day and plan to go out for a walk.

However, after Russell has a lot of endorsements, he is not as free as before. He will also participate in several activities during the All-Star Weekend.

Nora will not be lonely, she can be regarded as a celebrity in society, and she will attend some events by the way.

For example, charity activities and the like are commonplace in the rich second generation circle.

Russell brought Nora over early just to have more private time.

There was no special activity, just went to a few nice places like traveling.

In addition to their respective activities during the All-Star Weekend, various small circles will also gather together.

Russell is not very interested in this, drinking with a group of men is not as comfortable as being with a girlfriend.

At most, he would take a few of the team's juniors to have a good meal. The defending champion's boss is so hard-headed.

In this rookie game, Russell and Iguodala will start, the other three are Ben Gordon, Luol Deng and Howard, opposite Paul, Bogut, Granger, Nate and junior Frye.

Their second-year lineup is not too exaggerated, but it is different with Russell.

The first-year team's back line is so short that Russell can do whatever he wants.

But he will play support this time, and give Iguodala a rookie game MVP, as if he was the same in history.

After all, Iguodala is now his guard with a knife, and he always wants to give some benefits.

The bench lineups of both sides are just so-so. Compared with the All-Stars, the rookie game is too small.

Howard was more excited to see Russell, and finally he could receive that kind of comfortable pass again.

It's a pity that he will be disappointed. Russell doesn't want to get more assists and become the MVP of the rookie game again.

Without the support of passing, he may not even be able to do Bogut. Now Howard still needs to grow.

The rookie game was on the first day of the All-Star Weekend, and Russell played with ease after playing.

He didn't even directly assist, just give the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala can handle it.

Soon, the second-year team established a big advantage, and the first-year starter was weaker than expected.

The main reason is that they are not used to it. They don't know how to play in the rookie game. They are not as good as Hyde and Villanueva on the bench who only know how to score.

Unlike the second grade, Russell, Iguodala, Ben Gordon, and West, Martin and Nosinho on the bench can all play at will.

With the help of Russell, Iguodala scored 35 points and won the MVP of the rookie game.

After winning the award, he told reporters that if he came to the All-Star Game in the future, it would definitely not be a slam dunk contest. He would partner with Russell in the All-Star Game.

"I am eagerly looking forward to this day, hoping to come sooner." He said confidently.

Russell doesn't know when Iguodala's style of play can realize this wish.

If Marion leaves, it will be much easier for him to stay on the team, but who knows in the future, Iguodala is not a necessity in the Suns plan.

During the game, Iguodala gave consecutive dunks. Talking about the dunk contest, he said with a smile: "I still have a lot of tricks, and you can see them tomorrow."

Martin also scored a lot. In this rookie game, they can be said to have killed their opponents just for fun.

Regarding the fact that superstars also have to play in the rookie game, the outside world also has different opinions.

Russell doesn't care about that, he's already played both terms anyway.

"Actually, there is nothing special about me. The All-Star Game and the Rookie Challenge are all about giving back to the fans. Players must do well. For me, even if I am an All-Star, I also like to pursue victory."

After chatting with the reporter for a few words, Russell went to rest. He is very Buddhist now.

Last All-Star Weekend, the Suns players were inexplicably lucky, especially Russell, but this time it seems that luck has run out a bit.

In the shooting star game, Marion didn't play much, and the Suns took a long time. This time the champion became the Spurs.

In the skills challenge competition, Russell lost to Wade, mainly because his dribbling speed was a little slower. When Wade also performed well in other aspects, Russell couldn't handle it.

But this is not very important. Russell, as a popular star, will not participate in other events except for the main game in the future, because this is forcing.

Russell wanted to participate in more events last season to attract popularity, but now his thoughts have changed, and he also complained that he was too real.

On the second day of the game, the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest attracted more attention.

For Russell, it is actually easier to win the three-point contest, but he does not want to participate in the next year, and he feels that there is no challenge.

In the end, he still decided to win this match first, and just refuse in the next year.

As a rookie who came to the All-Star Weekend for the first time, Joe Johnson was quite excited.

But he wanted to pretend to be calm, and Russell didn't expose him.

"Are you confident to win the championship?" Russell asked deliberately.

Joe Johnson pondered, and then said: "It still depends on the performance and the feel of the hand."

"As long as you make it to the final, how about I give you the championship?" Russell laughed.

Joe Johnson couldn't help but feel so confident. Although Russell is very powerful, the three-point contest has always been uncertain, and it is much more uncontrollable than the slam dunk contest.

Russell didn't care what this buddy thought, anyway, that's what he decided.

Then Joe Johnson, who obviously thought too much, shot a low score of 12 points and was quickly eliminated.

Russell was a little embarrassed, not because his words caused Joe Johnson to play abnormally.

Then he discovered that the three-point contest was really weak, and none of them were allowed.

It seems that in the three-point contest, there are really few high-water duels.
