The three-day All-Star Weekend has been held in the Rookie Challenge, Dunk Contest, Skill Contest and Three-Point Contest, and tomorrow morning, that is, the morning of February 21, Beijing time, the "main course" of the All-Star Weekend , the All-Star Confrontation Tournament will officially start. The NBA's strongest superstars will compete in the same game, far more exciting than the previous games and competitions.
Although the Rockets are still the worst team in the West (the bottom of the record), the Rockets players have participated in several games in the All-Star Weekend, such as Shen Jing, Tate, Jaylen Green in the rookie game, and Jaylen Green also represented the Rockets in the dunk contest, it is worth mentioning that the Rockets' first round 24 pick Rookie Christopher also came to Cleveland city of Cleveland, the all-star host city, in order to cooperate with Jaylen Green.
In addition, The Rockets' general manager, Rafael Stone, also came to Cleveland with several rocket rookies, and after the All-Star Rookie Challenge, appeared on the court to take photos with several rocket rookies. It is worth noting that Raphael Stone also deliberately took a group photo with the legendary center who played for the Rockets for many years and has the nickname of "African Mountains" Dekemba Mutombo.
We know that when Yao Ming was still playing for the Rockets, Uncle Mu has always been Yao Ming's most stable, reliable and cordial first substitute center, and whenever Yao Ming is absent due to injury, Uncle Mu, Hayes, Scola and Landry' several interior players can always make up for Yao Ming's absence.
Uncle Mu, who is now confused about his age, has been retired for many years, but he still pays great attention to everything about the Rockets, after all, this was the last team he played for, and the deep friendship with Yao Ming is also the reason why Uncle Mu has a special love for the Rockets.
In addition to taking a photo with Uncle Mu, Stone also took a photo with Jaylen Green and Shen Jing, two rookie rocket players. In particular, when Stone took a photo with Shin Kyung, he also specially congratulated Shin Kyung, because the rookie team "Barry Team" that Shin Kyung and Tate joined won the final championship of the Rookie Challenge, and Shin Kyung, as one of them, also received a commemorative medal. Stone also took a closer look at the hard-won medal.
Unfortunately, Jaylen Green did not win the dunk contest, but it doesn't matter, Jaylen Green has said after the game that if he is possible, he will still participate in the dunk game at next year's All-Star Game.
Speaking of Stone, as one of the most important figures in the Rockets' management, Raphael Stone was able to take time out of his busy schedule to come to Cleveland, the host of All-Star Weekend, to cheer on several of the Rockets' newcomers, which is a good thing in itself. It not only reflects Stone's kind personality, but also reflects the care and expectation of the Rockets management for the newcomers, and hopes that the potential newcomers of these Rockets can repay the Rockets' attention with their performance in the game.
