Chapter 133 Anthony's home court
On February 2, the last game before the All-Star Game, the Lakers faced the Jazz.

Strange to say, when the two teams met for the first time, Ye Heping and Boozer clashed.

But in the second game, Ye Heping didn't play.

In the third game, Ye Heping played, but Boozer was absent again.

In the end, the Lakers slaughtered the Jazz without a core 119:81, and the old coach Sloan couldn't live without rice.

Kobe went crazy all over the game, from the first spike to the end, there was no rest.

That is to say, the Jazz has a tradition of iron and blood defense, and everyone is very tough, otherwise the point difference must be more than that.

But no one said anything. A few days ago, Kobe's grandfather passed away suddenly, and Kobe fell into grief. It is understandable that he was in a bad mood.

The Jazz was also considered unlucky, just hitting the muzzle.

However, with the addition of new enmity and old enmity, the tension between the two teams is considered too great.

After resting all day, on February 2, the Lakers team set off for the Denver Plateau together.

Magician, Kobe, Wharton, Ye Heping, Lisa Leslie...and your family.

The All-Star is originally a festival, and everyone has to work overtime to perform for the fans.

In order to make up for their families, players participating in the All-Stars generally bring their families.

Kobe is still in a bad mood, and the death of his grandfather made him feel sad.

Fortunately, the magician is a very intelligent and humorous person, and kept making Kobe happy on the plane.

As a legend of the Lakers, Magic has been a Laker all his life and started a business after retiring, but he will do things for the Lakers whenever he has the opportunity. He is really rooted in Los Angeles.

The magician is also very kind to Ye Heping and has given a lot of guidance on and off the court.

Everyone was in a good mood when they got off the plane.

But as soon as they walked onto the streets of Denver, everyone's expressions changed.

Here, they were treated extremely unfriendly. From time to time, pedestrians provoked, made faces, and even satirized and scolded... To be precise, Kobe was targeted, and Ye Heping and others were only affected.

Seeing that Ye Heping was puzzled, the magician whispered to the side: "Eagle County, in Denver, this situation has started since last season."

Encountering this situation, everyone lost the mood to have fun and went directly to the hotel where they were staying.

Not long after, Butler, Tao Jia, and Fagan also arrived on a passenger plane.

Ye Heping still had some business activities, so he took his team out by the way.

Bryant wasn't there, but even so, Ye Heping was occasionally targeted by Denver.

……

during break.

Fagan and Ye Heping talked about the sneaker contract.

In fact, he and Nike have been in contact for a long time, but Nike itself has been vacillating.

There have always been a lot of topics about Ye Heping, and he played in Los Angeles. In addition, he missed the big cake of Yao Ming back then, so Nike wanted to sign Ye Heping.

It's just that the offer they gave didn't meet Fagan's expectations.

Coupled with the deportation of the six criminals who played the Cavaliers before, and Ye Heping himself rarely participated in activities, Nike's recent attitude is a bit weak.

But Ye Heping was selected as the All-Star starter, and Nike posted it again, and even sent someone to Denver to contact Fagan.

"I heard that Reebok, Puma, and some domestic sneaker manufacturers are also in contact with you?"

Ye Heping asked casually.

Feigen was startled, thinking that Ye Heping was tired of Nike's attitude and wanted to change the sneaker dealer.

"Nike is the most powerful after all. They have a great voice in the NBA. Their sneakers are also the best. The technology of sneakers has always been the benchmark in the industry, and..."

Ye Heping smiled: "I mean, you can get in touch with people from other companies first, and it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. There is a saying in my hometown that there is no righteousness in business! At the same time, I also want to remind Nike that I can't sign with other companies."

Feigen hesitated: "In case Nike is angered..."

"Then go to Adidas, Reebok, Anderwan... Worst case, it's better to sign with a domestic sneaker dealer."

Ye Heping waved his hand indifferently.

He wanted to sign Nike, but he didn't have to. Signing Nike was just because of his resources.

"Also, Coca-Cola, Pepsi..."

Feganhui reports.

"Coca Cola!"

Ye Heping made a judgment without hesitation.

"..."

Fei Gen was a little confused. The conditions given by the two companies were almost the same. Why did Ye Heping choose Coca-Cola directly?

"Because I like drinking Coca-Cola!"

"..."

……

On the morning of the 18th, the All-Star Weekend officially began.

The first is the Rookie Challenge.

NBA staff first took 18 first- and second-year students to participate in community outreach activities.

Sophomore: James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, Korver, Haslem, Hinrich, Howard, Ridnour.

First grade: Howard, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Iguodala, J.R. Smith, Ye Heping, Tony Allen, Harris, Al Jefferson.

Plus an Emeka Okafor in a suit.

In the next 10 to 15 years, these 19 people will play a pivotal role.

During the event, everyone was communicating.

The most outstanding thing is James. Ye Heping admires his communicative ability. Almost every player can talk to him, and he looks quite close.

Ye Heping is much worse, and there is only one J·R who has a good relationship.

In the 03 class, James, Anthony, and Wade have already risen. They are the bosses of their respective teams, scoring 20+ points, but the three are very good, without putting on airs at all.

James is good at sociability, and Wade is very gentle with everyone, but the social melon is a little bit of a mess... After all, he has been in the gangs all the time, and the social melon when he was young was a bit young and frivolous.

Of course, Anthony just waved by himself and didn't hinder others.Throughout his career, Social Gua has never taken the initiative to provoke troubles, and has always been very principled.

As the host, the second-year team intends to praise Anthony, especially James, who has known each other for a long time, and they have a hot fight with everyone, asking for everyone's help for the brothers.

The Rookie Challenge was played for real in the early years, but it has become a performance in recent years.

Especially last year, it completely became a slam dunk show.

Naturally, the second graders don't care about such things.

As for the first graders, they didn't think so either.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the strength of the second-year team crushed the first-year team.

Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of the first-year team winning.

After the community activities, the two teams practiced separately.

The coach of the first-year team is the assistant coach of the Spurs. Adhering to the principles of the Spurs, the coach has almost no sense of presence except for necessary polite words.

That night, the rookie competition officially started.

The Lakers team, Magician, Kobe, Walton, Leslie... and Tao Jia, Butler all came to the scene to watch the game.

But tonight's Denver Pepsi Center belongs to Anthony "Melo".

This is Denver, Anthony's territory.
