Chapter 795 Announcement of the All-Star List

On the first day of the new year, Meng Yun was absent from the team's training. He is not a robot. He also has emotions and family needs to take care of. Today is the first day of the new year, so he was absent from the team's training.

This is also the first time that Meng Yun is absent from team training. Although the coaches and teammates were surprised, considering that this is the most important day in traditional Chinese festivals, Meng Yun's family members also came to Miami, and they all expressed their understanding.Spoelstra even asked if he needed time off because they have a game tonight against the Pistons at home.

With Meng Yun's current status in the team, occasional absences are nothing, not to mention that the Pistons are not strong, even without Meng Yun, there is a great chance of winning.

Meng Yun smiled and rejected Coach Spoelstra's kindness. The absence of the team's training is already a relaxation of his own. Not to mention that he does not allow himself to miss the game, even Guo Hai and the others will not be willing.

Meng Yun stayed with his family all day, and only rushed to the American Airlines Arena in the evening.

Guo Shuyao, Guo Hai, and Liu Qin also came to the American Airlines Arena, and they will cheer for Meng Yun in the audience.

Entering the locker room, all the teammates had already arrived. They greeted Meng Yun one after another and said "Happy New Year". Meng Yun thanked them one by one and began to organize the equipment.

Joseph Young leaned over and whispered, "Boss, I guess you must not have paid attention? Yesterday the league announced the list of all-star substitutes on the official website."

"Oh?" Meng Yun raised his eyebrows, he really didn't pay attention.

There was a game yesterday, and after the game he was in a hurry to go home, but he didn't realize that yesterday was the announcement date of the reserve list for this year's NBA All-Star Game.

The voting for the All-Star has ended as early as the 20th, and the starters of the East and West have been released. The five starters in the East are LeBron James, Meng Yun, Kyrie Irving, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jimmy Butler .

The Western All-Star starters are Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis.

It's a pity that Wade was not selected as the starter in the Eastern Conference, but there is still a glimmer of hope. If he can be selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star bench, he can be regarded as an All-Star list.

Meng Yun hurriedly asked: "What's the result?"

Knowing that Meng Yun was asking about Wade, Joseph Young said with some regret: "Unfortunately, Dwyane was not selected for the Eastern All-Star reserve list. This time he will miss the All-Star Game."

"Sigh..." Meng Yun sighed and looked at Wade. He didn't notice it just now. Wade's expression was still calm, but there was still a trace of disappointment deep in his eyes.

From 05 to 16, Wade never missed the All-Star Game. From 06 to 14, he was selected as the Eastern All-Star starter for 9 consecutive years, but this year, he will be absent.

Time is a killing knife, no one can escape it.

But when the hero is really twilight, not everyone can understand that kind of sadness.

Wade can be called a hero. He has been in the nba for more than ten years. He has made brilliant achievements, won countless honors, and carved his own chapter in the history of nba.But the more heroic he is, the more sad he will feel when the years pass by. Wade's heart is still hot, but his body is no longer what it used to be.

The ambition is still there, but people have been wasted!
Meng Yun thought about it, but he didn't go to comfort Wade, Wade didn't need comfort.

"Those people were selected for the substitute lineup?" Meng Yun looked back and asked casually.

Joseph Young said: "Here in the East, Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan, Kemba Walker, John Wall, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Paul -Millsap. West is Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Gordon Hayward, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan."

A total of 14 people from the east and west.

These 14 players were jointly selected by the coaches of the 30 teams in the league. Meng Yun examined them and felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

He doesn’t need to care about it in the west, but he still remembers it in the east, Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan, Kemba Walker, John Wall, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Paul Millsap has four full guards, only three frontcourt players, two small forwards, and one power forward.

Joseph Young said again: "In addition, the rookie list and the individual event list have also been announced. I guess you didn't pay attention, boss. Your friend Xiang Long was selected for the rookie list. As for the individual event, it's nothing to watch. In the past, the highlight was In the dunk contest, you and LaVine took the dunk contest to a new level last year. If you don’t participate this year, and neither does LaVine, the dunk contest will be nothing to watch. But Aaron Gordon participated, and I guess he saw it Neither you nor LaVine will participate, and you want to take advantage of it."

Meng Yun smiled: "You can't say that. Gordon is still very strong. Take his dunks last year as an example. In previous years, he might be able to win the championship."

Joseph Young curled his lips, that was in previous years, but now it is different.

Even the fans know that if Meng Yun and LaVine don't participate, the slam dunk contest will be meaningless. They have spoiled the fans' appetite.And it is too difficult to surpass them.

"By the way." As he said that, Joseph Yang suddenly said with a half-smile: "I almost forgot, Boss, you were also selected for the rookie competition."

"Rookie competition?" Meng Yun was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I thought it would be easier not to participate in the individual competition, and it was enough to just participate in the main competition, but I didn't expect that there would be a rookie competition. "

Joseph Young was speechless, feeling secretly that he had no chance to participate in the rookie competition.

I and the boss are still rookies in the same class, why is there such a big gap?

According to the rules of the rookie game, players from the first and second grades participated, and it was normal for Meng Yun to be among them.It's just that he almost forgot that he was still a second-year player. When it came to the rookie game, he didn't think of himself.

Thinking of this, Meng Yun suddenly became interested: "By the way, is this year's rookie competition the same as last year's? Is it still the World Alliance vs. the United States?"

Joseph Young nodded: "Yes, it's still the same as last year."

The rules are still the same as last year. Meng Yun is looking forward to the rookie game. Xiang Long will also participate in the rookie game. Then he will be on the same team as himself. I didn’t expect to be able to play with him on the same team. How does it feel?
Xiang Long's current strength may not be so outstanding, but he feels different to Meng Yun from other players.

But thinking of Yao Ming's plan to naturalize Xiang Long, Meng Yun felt that it might be a matter of time to play with Xiang Long on the same team, and he would be in the national team in the future if he was not in the rookie game.
