In the evening, Roy and many first-year rookies left the hotel together.
They were accompanied by the second-year 2003 super platinum generation.
The hotel was less than 5 minutes' walk from the stadium. Everyone enjoyed the sunset in Denver while chatting in groups of three or two as they headed towards the stadium.
James and Wade, who were standing at the door of the hotel, watched Roy leave.
McInnis on the side still had some questions:
"Roy, do you think the second-year rookies are much stronger than us?"
Roy thought for a while, nodded and said:
"In terms of overall talent, 2003 may be the highest in recent years, there is no doubt about that, but if you say they are the most accomplished, that's not the case. You know, the golden generation of 1996 is still in front of us."
McInnis was obviously a rookie who was not convinced by the previous class,
but for the 1996 class That was full of admiration,
Because the 96 class has fully grown up and become the mainstay of the league, the signboard and facade of each team,
Just look at this year's All-Stars, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Jermaine O'Neal, Zydrunas Ilgauskas,
Almost half of the All-Stars, from which we can also see how high the success rate is,
The two walked and chatted,
Until the huge roar of the car engine came from the back,
Roy turned his head and looked over. It turned out to be Carmelo Anthony, driving a convertible sports car with James and Wade.
When passing by Roy, James signaled Anthony, who was driving, to stop and honked the horn,
After attracting everyone's attention, the three drove away without saying a word.
"Asshole! What are you so arrogant about!" McGinnis extended an international friendly gesture to the three people not far away.
Roy looked at the direction where the car was going away and pressed down McGinnis's raised hand.
It's an international joke. This is the venue of the All-Star Game. There are reporters all over the street. If McGinnis is photographed doing uncivilized behavior, he will inevitably be punished by the authorities.
"We'll teach them a lesson on the court tonight, don't worry about it," he said, reminding McGinnis to keep going.
It was then that Roy realized that McGinnis had stopped not far behind him.
Fuck, this idiot is a typical example of being tempted by beauty, and he immediately threw James' ridicule behind his head.
He whistled at the black girl who thought she had a good figure.
Obviously, she didn't fancy McGinnis, and ignored this idiot, got into the car, and hugged the man in the car and started to eat.
Roy covered his face, really wanting to pretend that he didn't know this idiot.
It was really embarrassing.
Roy hurried over, picked up the idiot by the collar, and walked towards the court.
The Pepsi Center was packed with people.
The All-Star Game did not worry about ticket sales, and tonight was the All-Star Rookie Game for Denver's star player.
There were even more people who came specially.
After Roy and McGinnis arrived at the stadium, the first-year team was basically all there.
On the other side of the stadium, the second-year team was obviously not so active, with only two or three cats and dogs.
Everyone did a simple warm-up. Roy and McGinnis started with the simplest stretching.
In order to avoid unnecessary injuries, Roy was meticulous during the warm-up.
McGinnis, who had been following Roy, was influenced by him and developed good habits. He also did it very seriously.
Until Roy finished 3 sets of warm-ups, the second-year team was barely all there.
James not far away Speak first:
"Hey, freshmen, don't bother, we're going to win tonight, just get ready, we'll be gentle when we attack."
After that, the second-year rookie team burst into laughter,
Howard, Luol Deng, McGinnis and others in the first-year team blushed,
I never thought that someone would challenge me in the exhibition game,
The most outspoken person was James, who was called humble and mature,
It was really because he had too much resentment towards Roy, and was forced to move from the All-Star Eastern Conference forward position to the back line by Roy,
It should have been a year for him to stand out with his 27+7+7 data, but this year everyone's focus was on Roy, who was able to achieve a crazy data of 26+12+4+3 in his first season.
The team hovered on the edge of the playoffs in the results, and Roy led the Nets to the first place in the league in his rookie season,
The Nets beat Roy in the face-to-face match, and Roy's data was completely beaten by Roy.
James was suppressed by Roy for most of the season, and the Crab King was obviously unwilling to let it go.
He felt from the bottom of his heart that the Nets' good lineup caused this result.He couldn't beat the Cavaliers because almost all of his teammates were CBA players, and Roy had two All-Star teammates.
Now he was on the All-Star Rookie Game stage, and his teammates were much stronger than the team.
With such a good opportunity, even if he couldn't avenge all the old and new grudges, he had to collect some interest!
So before the warm-up started, he couldn't wait to provoke the freshman team,
just to beat the opponent later, and beat them harder.
"LeBron, take care of yourself. I'm afraid that some Cleveland kid will cry and go home to find his mother."
Howard looked harmless, but he was not afraid at all. He directly confronted James.
As the No. 1 pick in 2004, he felt that he had an obligation to take this responsibility.
The gunpowder smell that appeared before the game started indicated that tonight's game would not be peaceful.
James stared at Roy and Howard fiercely, and he would definitely take special care of these two people later.
Howard, who was practicing basketball, felt a chill on his neck for no reason. He did not expect that a simple sentence would bring him a deadly enemy.
After a long song and dance performance,
the rookie challenge, which was the finale of the night, was finally about to begin.
After the captains of the two teams tossed a coin to choose sides,
the two sides set up their formations and started the competition between the first and second graders.
Almost all the All-Stars who had nothing to do on the sidelines sat on the sidelines. O'Neal, who held a sneaker phone in one hand and a sneaker DV in the other, greeted his younger brother Wade, once again grabbing everyone's attention.
The head coach of the Eastern Conference was the Heat coach Stan Van Gundy, who also gave instructions to his disciples on the sidelines.
McGrady and Kobe were very close and were sitting together chatting. The bald Carter was torturing Kidd's other bald boiled egg...
The first-grade team's starting roster: Dwight Howard, Roy, Luol Deng, Andre Iguodala, Devin Harris.
The second-year team's roster: Chris Bosh, Endonis Haslem, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade.
From the jump ball stage, the two teams were not evenly matched.
Howard was assigned to the first-year team, while Chris Bosh was assigned to the second-year team. Haslem was too short. As a center, he was only a little taller than Wade.
Howard's monster-like physical fitness and arm span naturally crushed Chris Bosh in the process of fighting for the ball.
Devin Harris, who got the ball, was like a wound-up car, breaking through the half court at a very fast speed,
and rushed towards the basket of the second-year team!
