Chapter 115 New Orleans
Author: Different Sparks
"Hello, Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
On February 14th, Da Zhuang brought Kelly to New Orleans. From a distance, he saw Kelly's father standing there with a beautiful woman on his arm. After seeing Da Zhuang, he also said hello with a smile.
.
It's indeed Valentine's Day. If I hadn't told you, I would have thought you had two daughters.
But it looks like Uncle Kelina, you also like All-Stars."
"It's not about whether you like it or not. It's just a packaging of the league. Besides, now that you're entering the league, you have to get familiar with something. How about it? I've often seen you in some news recently.
Name, do you need help?" The two hugged and then asked.
"It's nothing. I don't think those things can affect me, so there is no need to pay attention to them.",
"Well, but I still have to remind you that sometimes excessive tolerance can make some people more unscrupulous. You need to tell them what your bottom line is. I think it will be useful in this way. Chen, I know you Chinese people
I have a humble personality and don’t like to cause trouble, but sometimes it can 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 will keep moving in that direction when she sees something. This is not like me at all, but is very similar to my father, but
No matter what, I don't want to see her get hurt."
"I understand, Uncle Turner, I love her too!"
"bless all of you!"
"Are you done talking? My dear father, should we go in?"
"No problem at all."
"What did he say to you?" Kelly asked softly as she walked behind, holding her strong arm.
"I didn't say anything, just talked about some things about the team."
"real?"
"Of course, how could I lie to you? Let's go. In fact, there is nothing interesting to see here today. If you don't want to watch the game later, we can walk 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 All-Star Weekend activities will start at noon, and at 11 noon, there will be an open training for both parties participating in the Rookie Challenge.
Then there will be an all-star media meeting in the afternoon.
Then came the announcement of the Hall of Fame, the first game of the night was the Masters Game, 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 organized by some brand sponsors.
There are three days of All-Star weekend activities. The first day should be regarded as a hot spot. Many programs are basically concentrated on the second and third days. And tomorrow Da Zhuang will not have much time to accompany Kelly. According to the league's schedule
According to the arrangement, there will be an open training session for the stars of the Eastern and Western Conferences at 12 noon tomorrow. He will definitely appear as the head coach of the Western Conference. In addition, at 7 o'clock in the evening, there will be a press conference for Adam Silver, who is also the head coach of Davids.
Turn's retirement ceremony.
Then at 8 o'clock in the evening, the Shooting Star Challenge, Skills Contest, Three-Point Shootout Contest and Slam Dunk Contest will be held in sequence.
On the last day, Da Zhuang will also participate in some charity activities arranged by the alliance.
Then comes the finale of the night - the All-Star Game.
So after arriving in New Orleans, Da Zhuang accompanied Kelly to spend a day in Orleans.
The origin of New Orleans comes from the Duke of Orleans, the regent of Louis XV. It was once a luxurious and decadent North American colony for the French nouveau riche. It has a very interesting nickname - Grand Happy.
Located on the Gulf of Mexico, it is an important port city in the beautiful country of Louisiana.
A typical city on the water, because it has an upper city and a lower city, which are just upstream and downstream of the Mississippi River, and because the Mississippi River happened to make a bend here, the upper city and the lower city were combined into a new city.
Orleans formed a moon shape, hence the name Crescent City.
The entire city is located ten feet below sea level. The unique geographical location creates the scenery of New Orleans. However, this underwater city was hit by the famous Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
That was an unprecedented disaster, and it was this disaster that exposed many problems in the city.
For example, the city's public drainage system was completed two hundred years ago in a city that was only completed in the early twentieth century.
Another example is New Orleans, which has a unique wonder. Because there is a swamp underneath the city, large potholes will suddenly appear on the roads in the city from time to time.
Everywhere she went for a whole day, Kaili would tell Da Zhuang some introductions about the city, which also helped Da Zhuang learn a lot about the city.
"So after hearing your introduction, this city is actually very rubbish?"
"Anyway, I don't like it. I rarely come here. Don't come here especially during the rainy season, especially in the old town. The smell will make you so sick that you can't bear it." Kelly shrugged.
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 starting from 2012, the Rookie Challenge is no longer divided into first-year and second-year teams. Instead, it adopts a mixed team method, with the two head coaches selecting 9 players to compete against each other.
Maybe at this time, the league is already considering canceling the Eastern and Western Conferences for the All-Star Game.
The two head coaches in this year's Rookie Challenge are Weber and Hill, and Middleton was selected by Weber because of his outstanding performance in the Timberwolves. Unfortunately, Bennett missed the Rookie Challenge due to injury.
As an exhibition match, the intensity of the game is naturally not that high, and it is more of a personal display for the players.
In the end, the Hill team defeated the Weber team 142-136.
However, there was an episode when the awards were presented. Drummond won the MVP of this Rookie Challenge with 30 points and 25 rebounds. When it was time to award the awards, the presenting guest Wilperdo handed the trophy to Drummond.
During the performance of Germany, the trophy accidentally fell to the ground and broke into two halves. Everyone at the scene was stunned, and the faces of the award presenters were extremely embarrassed. Drummond could only say two
The trophy is temporarily spliced together with one hand and raised above the head.
For many people at the scene, I am afraid that the game is not as interesting as this scene.
Middleton only played about 15 minutes in this game and scored 10 points and 4 assists. Overall, his performance was mediocre.
Chapter completed!
