Chapter 261 Rookie Challenge

In addition to the competition, the full name competition has many activities.

Stars must participate in various activities arranged by the league. On the one hand, it is to expand the influence of the league, and on the other hand, it is to increase the reputation and reputation of the league.

For example, what Qin Yang and others have to do this time is to go to an orphanage near Dallas to give warmth to the children in the orphanage.

That's right, to send warmth.

Qin Yang has to help paint, plant trees, teach children to play basketball and so on.

Letting multi-millionaires do this kind of thing, the alliance also took great pains.

Fortunately, the group of people with Qin Yang were not good at character. Even Dwight had a good time playing with a group of children. After being tired for two, the players returned to the hotel stipulated by the league.

This is close to a week, and the players can finally take a break.

In addition to activities arranged by the league, players can interact freely.

In the afternoon, Nowitzki called Qin Yang and treated him to dinner. Along with him were several teammates who were active today, as well as other players from the league.

The place for dinner is a well-known Michelin restaurant in Dallas.

Qin Yang, Kevin Durant, Nowitzki, Howard, Joe Johnson, Stephen Curry, and Pau Gasol were eating and chatting at the Michelin restaurant. Qin Yang also took the opportunity to ask for advice on many other things.

After dinner, not long after the group dispersed, Qin Yang received a call from James.

In the evening, James treats guests to nightclub activities.

The former boss invited them all, but Qin Yang was too embarrassed to refuse. After asking about the location, Qin Yang arrived very quickly.

This place is a private club with a high degree of secrecy. When Qin Yang went in, he found many acquaintances. Most of the league's superstars and superstars had come.

"Bruce, this way!"

Seeing Qin Yang coming, James waved his hand, and Qin Yang also came over.

"This is a private gathering of the players. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around and have a look."

James and Qin Yang said a few words, and Qin Yang also greeted other people. There are quite a lot of acquaintances here, such as Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Chris Bosh, Wade, Mo Williams, etc., no matter the east or the west, there are many superstars coming. From these people, we can see James' connections in the league.

Qin Yang was not as good as James, and after a few words with other people, he drank juice alone.

The hobbies of these black players and Qin Yang are too different. They are talking about female stars, or famous cars and watches, giving people a sense of déjà vu with big gold chains and small watches.

After staying for a few minutes, Kevin Durant also came over.

"Why are you here too?"

Qin Yang was a little surprised. Kevin Durant's character is relatively low-key in the NBA, and his character is not bad, but logically speaking, he doesn't have much intersection with James.

Durant held a glass of juice and smiled:

"Of course LeBron invited me to come. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I came."

Qin Yang chatted with Durant in a low voice, and then talked about basketball matters.

"Kevin, I really admire you." Qin Yang said with a smile.Kevin Durant grinned: "What do you admire about me? I'm curious, but you rarely praise people like that."

"Your teammate Russell, he performed very well, but to be honest, I don't think he is as good as James in your team."

This James is naturally just James Harden.

"why?"

Qin Yang stretched out his finger: "First, he has a bad temper. Whether it is on or off the court, it makes people very sad. I was deeply touched when we met the first few times. Second, he is too selfish and pays too much attention to statistics. He is very independent. Whether it is assists or rebounds, he insists on grabbing. This kind of player is not suitable to be a teammate. Third, his basketball and EQ are too low."

After hearing Qin Yang's words, Kevin Durant was taken aback:

"Aren't you trying to sow discord, right? The Thunder have a good lineup, and within two or three years, they will be a strong contender for the championship."

"You can think so," Qin Yang shrugged indifferently, "However, if you want, we can be teammates in the future. If you partner with me, I don't know which other team's outside line can be our opponent."

Kevin Durant laughed.

Although there was no response, there was nothing wrong with Qin Yang's words.

Both Qin Yang and Kevin Durant have outstanding shots. Durant's breakthrough is better than Qin Yang's. Coupled with their passing ability, they can create space for teammates.

But who's to say when it comes to holding a group?

When Qin Yang meets a player with potential, he will praise him and say hello. This is to prepare for the future.

James does a great job of that.

For example, JR Smith of the Nuggets, every time James met last season, he would invite him to dinner and chat. God knows if this relationship will work when he meets a player he needs in the future.

In the final analysis, the league is still dominated by players, especially free agents.

On the 13th, a blockbuster of the NBA All-Star Game began, the Rookie Challenge where the second graders played against the first graders.

First-year team lineup: Tyreke Evans, Omega Casspi, Stephen Curry, Joni Flynn, Brandon Jennings, James Harden, Tucky Gibson, DeJuan Blair, Jonas Jerebko.

Second-year team: Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Brook Lopez, Russell Westbrook, Qin Yang, Marc Gasol, Kevin Love, Eric Gordon.

During the Rookie Challenge last year, Qin Yang played very depressed.

Derrick Rose dominated the ball, and everyone else refused to accept anyone else. He played loosely and was beaten on the ground by the second grader. This year's All-Star Game, Derrick Rose missed due to injury.

Before the game started, Michael Beasley couldn't help but happen during training:

"What's the matter with Rose? Do you think that he is superior to others because he participated in the All-Star Game, and he was absent due to injury. Why didn't he miss the All-Star Game!"

When the others heard this, they had different expressions, and their expressions were extremely embarrassing.

Derrick Rose's reason for not participating in the Rookie Challenge is that he was absent due to injury, and then after two days of the All-Star Game, Derrick Rose will still participate.

This injury is a coincidence, it happened to be injured during the Rookie Challenge, and then recovered during the All-Star Game.

This is pure bullshit.

Michael Beasley was dissatisfied, and the others were even more dissatisfied. Mayo and Russell Westbrook kept their faces cold and silent.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yang couldn't help standing up:

"I don't want to participate in this game, because I think we will lose to the first-year team very shamefully. If you continue like this, I don't know how many points we will lose."

"You want to be so ashamed, but I don't think so."
