During the 2009 All-Star Weekend, the league adopted a new interactive model with fans and audiences.

Whether it's the All-Star Rookie Challenge, a skills competition, or the All-Star Game, all teams will compete.

The winner of the Rookie Challenge will get two points, the winner of the three skill competitions will get 1 point, and the winner of the final All-Star Game will get 3 points.

In the end, the team with the most total points during the All-Star Weekend will be the winner of this year's All-Star Weekend.

All members of the winning team will be the main body of the league donating the $10 million in this year's All-Star earnings.

This time during the All-Star Weekend, the league played very, very big.

Setting him as a target only stimulates those who must step on him for their own benefit.

Using 10 million for charity will stimulate those in the All-Stars who are just for fame.

David Stern sees it very clearly. In the NBA, as long as there is the excitement of fame and profit, even Jordan will have rookies step on it!

However, Yeas has no objections to David Stern's actions in this year's All-Star Game.

David Stern wants to make this year's All-Star stage bigger and flashier.

At the same time, he is set up as a target and focus. This is not to use this bigger and more gorgeous stage to embarrass him.

Although he may be embarrassed on this stage, there are not many things that can be said clearly in the All-Star Game. Jordan's performances have been ruined before, and not just once.

But there is no doubt that this time David Stern has arranged the stage so big and gorgeous, and put him at the center of the focus. He is preparing to use this All-Star to officially make him the spokesperson of the NBA.

The first person, a position above all NBA stars.

Although he has had such a position and momentum before, and fans and media all over the world think so, the league has not recognized it yet.

So, for many others attending All-Star Weekend this year, the weekend was a relaxing occasion.

But for Ye Si, he has a lot to do. Even if he doesn't participate in some All-Star activities, people still need to show up.

For example, in the game before the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the McDonald's All-Star Charity Game, Yeas watched the whole game with a blank expression, and at the same time, NFL star Owens lifted the MVP trophy.

When I was there, I was expressionless and applauded along with the audience.

"Yes, this kind of competition is boring, right?"

"..."

"Haha, it's just boring, I can fight ten of them if I go up there!"

Afflalo proudly whispered into Ye Si's ear.

It seems as if it is something to be proud of if one person can really defeat ten of these people.

"Yes, next is our own stage!"

"The stage tonight is a bit big, and I want to be excited about it!"

Afflalo's face was filled with excitement, and the face of Westbrook next to him was equally excited.

It can be seen from the faces of Afflalo and Westbrook that this is the effect David Stern wants.

This stage is designed for him, but at the same time, this stage does not deny anyone who wants to perform and shine on it!

At 8:30 pm on February 14, 2009, the US Airways Arena, home of the Phoenix Suns, and the US Airways Center, which can accommodate more than 18,000 spectators, was packed tonight.

A game that shouldn't have been so hot is now so hot that even David Stern on the sidelines finds it a bit scary.

"I used to see yes wearing a jersey and playing on the court. This time I saw yes wearing a suit and standing on the sidelines of the court. It was really, really weird!"

"Before tonight, I have never seen Yes wearing a suit. He is so cool and stylish!"

Listening to the excited sounds around him, David Stern was very satisfied.

This year's All-Star Game is a reform for him. The grouping format of the entire All-Star Weekend makes the competition more interesting and the sense of belonging and honor among the players is also enhanced.

In the past, these young players in the All-Star Rookie Challenge were not considered true All-Stars.

But after his reforms this year, they are also members of the yes team like the All-Star players in the All-Star Game. The games they participated in during the All-Star Weekend will also be counted as the players in the All-Star Game.

Team results.

And when they were playing, the person standing on the sidelines of the court was the most popular player in the NBA, the leader of the entire team, and the players sitting on the sidelines cheering him on were All-Star players, and every one of them was

No one was absent, they were all sitting there neatly!

David Stern feels that he has set up such a huge stage for his players. Those players who are not willing to be Yes supporting players, on such a stage and in such an atmosphere, will definitely be able to make this year's All-Star Weekend

Become extremely exciting!

The atmosphere in the arena is very lively now. Originally, most of the spectators came here to watch Ye Si, but seeing the players on both sides of the court actually acting like that, it instantly became interesting.

"Boys, cheer up!"

"This is the best stage for you to show your talents and abilities in front of the whole world, in front of yes, and in front of us!"

The first-year head coach is Yes, but seeing how O'Neal is irritating these first-year young people to blushing at this time, people who don't know think that the first-year head coach is O'Neal.

This damn fat guy is stealing the show!

Kobe, who was sitting there, could immediately see that this fat guy was stealing the show, and this petty guy was seeking revenge for Yes's disdain for him when they originally chose him.

That's all this fat guy has to offer. He doesn't dare to take revenge directly and just likes to play with these lies.

However, this fat guy's talk is as good as ever.

In the first grade, under the leadership of 'Assistant Coach' O'Neal, everyone's fighting spirit was boosted.

Except for Mike Beasley, who looked calm and peaceful as a saint, it was obvious on everyone else's faces that they were eager to get on the field and fight right away.

On the first-year side, O'Neal was somewhat dominant, but on the second-year side, it was all Garnett's stage.

When it comes to talking heads, Garnett may not be as good as O'Neal.

O'Neal's words can make people blush.

And Garnett is not much worse. Although he can't make these young people blush, he can make these young people beat their chests and scream.

Moreover, on the second-year side, the participation of the selected All-Star players is obviously much higher than on the first-year side.

On the first-year side, except for O'Neal, others like Sun Yue stood there like a minions. As for Oden and Yi Jianlian, they were on the yes team in the main game, but in the Rookie Challenge, they were second-year players.

Team!

As for Nowitzki, he was too shy, Richard Jefferson's position was too small, and Kobe and O'Neal were not very good at dealing with each other. O'Neal was howling there, and Kobe wished he could go to Yao Ming's team next door.

As for the other All-Star James of the yes team...

James is the only one who is still sitting there without standing up. With this posture, even ordinary viewers can see that this clean figure in the NBA undercover world is preparing to backstab Yes for Wade?

On Wade's team, backstab Wade for yes.

In the yes team, backstabbing yes for Wade...

This is a bit too weird to play.

This year's All-Star Rookie Challenge is very lively.

But if it weren't for the presence of O'Neal, a great star who steals the show, in the first grade, the first graders would have been completely overwhelmed by the second graders with the All-Star support before the game.

"This All-Star Weekend, the yes team really seems to be a little bit in danger?!"

"Indeed, Yao Ming's team seems to be more engaged, more energetic, and stronger."

"David Stern made such a big noise this time just to build momentum for yes. If the 10 million US dollars prepared by David Stern were donated in the name of Yao Ming and Yao's team, David

Will it be awkward for Stern and Yes?"

“It’s really embarrassing!”

The opening of the Rookie Challenge really made many spectators who supported Team Yes sweat on the sidelines and in front of the TV.

There is a big gap between the strength of the Yes team in the All-Star Game and that of Yao Ming's team. Everyone knows this. Among the five positions in the NBA, the strongest four positions are on Yao Ming's team.

People usually pay more attention to the players in the All-Star Game, but there is actually not that much discussion in the All-Star Rookie Game.

Now when I see the first-year Yes team and the second-year Yao Ming team standing on the court, many people feel that the gap is quite big.

The starting players in this year's Rookie Challenge, the first-year Leafs' five starting players are Gasol, Mike Beasley, Westbrook, Derrick Rose and James Harden...

One center seems to be carrying four perimeter players?

Forget about the four perimeter players, and they all need to hold the ball. Is one ball enough to score points?

His strength was already slightly inferior, but Afflalo, one of the Big Three in his final year, was still sitting on the bench, and the people who came up were still so unbalanced.

"Although yes is the direct disciple of Master Lorenzo Romar, the greatest tactician in the history of basketball, it seems that yes did not learn the essence of tactics from Master Romar."

"Tactics is a rigorous science. Yes is a very willful and idealistic person. It is understandable that he is not naturally suitable for studying tactics that require a little more heart and are not so simple."

"It can be seen from the fact that the starters selected by yes as head coach this time, except for Gasol, are all strong players who charge forward and go straight into the battle."

Compared with the unreliability of the first-year team, the second-year team of Oden, Yi Jianlian, Jeff Green, Nick Young, and Mike Conley is much more reliable.

The lineup Yao Ming put together is quite normal.

"This is also in line with Yao's character. This lineup is very meticulous. There are centers, power forwards, small forwards, shooting guards and point guards. The lineup is very normal and not as spiritual as Yes's."

When the first-year players and second-year players all stood in the middle circle of the court, the visual experience caused by the contrast between the players on both sides was very strange.
