Chapter 43 You're Dead (Subscription Request)
Did Mike Bibby of the Kings have any disputes with Zheng Yang?

No, they had played three games before and no conflict broke out.

What triggered his discontent? The answer is simple: jealousy.

Being selected as an All-Star has always been Mike Bibby's wish, but he has never achieved it. It is not easy for him to make it to the All-Star game in the Western Conference backcourt.

It doesn't matter if he is not selected. After all, Mike Bibby knows that there are many people ahead of him who are better than him.

But when he saw that Zheng Yang, a rookie, could be selected as an All-Star, he could no longer sit still.

Although one of them is a frontcourt player and the other is a backcourt player, Zheng Yang has no influence on him at all, but he is still very unwilling to see that a rookie can be selected as an All-Star.

Therefore, he was overwhelmed by emotions and started to diss Zheng Yang in front of the media.

But this turmoil started with Mike Bibby, but it did not end with him, Peja and Miller, two Kings players who were also selected for the All-Star Game this year, said in an interview with the media.

They will definitely not pass any ball to Zheng Yang in this year's All-Star Game, absolutely not!
They didn't like this young man appearing on the same stage with them. If possible, they hoped that Zheng Yang could withdraw from this All-Star Game on his own.

It can be said that the Kings' move this time really stomped Zheng Yang's face on the ground.

Zheng Yang was inexplicably humiliated by three Kings players at once, and he was very angry. He sneered in front of the media.

"Yes, they can dislike me, but they shouldn't offend me, I mean, there is a grudge between us.

I don’t want to cry in front of the media like those sissies did, I’m looking forward to our next game.

You know what I mean."

Zheng Yang was rarely so angry, but he was really angry this time.

Others can make it to the All-Stars, but I can’t. Damn it, do you really think I’m easy to bully?

Several players from the Kings immediately said, "Come on! They won't be scared by a rookie."

……

This year's All-Star Game will be held at the Lakers' home court, the Staples Center in Los Angeles, on February 2th.

The first day of the All-Star Weekend was a match between first-year rookies and second-year rookies.

Obviously, everyone knows that Zheng Yang is the best performer in the 03 class, but the promotional poster still says "The first grade led by the No. 03 pick James in the 02 class versus the second grade led by the No. pick Yao Ming in the class."

David Stern has indeed put a lot of effort into supporting James.

Zheng Yang played happily and comfortably in this game. After all, everyone was a rookie and no one dared to give Zheng Yang the cold shoulder.

Moreover, Zheng Yang has a good relationship with Anthony and Wade. They talked and laughed before the game, and gave each other many wonderful assists during the game.

However, due to the difference in strength between the two sides, and the fact that Zheng Yang was not taking it too seriously, the sophomore rookie eventually won the game.

After the game, when Zheng Yang was being interviewed by "Colorful Man" Craig Sager, Anthony even put his arms around his neck in front of the camera.

"Hey this is my brother, he was just selected to the All-Star Game this year, I'm proud of him, you know, now he is my role model and the goal I pursue."

Obviously, Anthony's words were meant to support Zheng Yang. Although his weight and influence are not that great at the moment, his kindness is enough to move Zheng Yang.

The little brother I recruited is finally of some use.

The second day of the All-Star Weekend was the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest. Zheng Yang didn’t pay much attention to them. He only knew that their champions were Jason Kidd, Warshaun Leonard and Fred Jones!

And on the third day, which was the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the highlight finally arrived.

The starting lineup for the East is: O'Neal, McGrady, Carter, Ben Wallace, and "The Answer" Iverson. The starting lineup for the West is: Kobe, Yao Ming, Duncan, Francis, and Garnett.

Obviously, this will be a race between Mars and the Earth!
But Zheng Yang, who was also selected for this game, was excluded from the game.

This year's Western Conference All-Star coach is the Timberwolves head coach, Philip Saunders. Zheng Yang also has no grudges against him, but he only gave Zheng Yang 4 minutes of playing time.

And it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when Zheng Yang came on the court, Peja and Miller of the Kings also came on the court.

And these two people also "abide" by their agreement, and never pass the ball to Zheng Yang during his time on the court.

And in one round, after Miller passed the ball to Peja, he pointed at Zheng Yang and smiled.

His eyes were full of ridicule and disdain.

Yes, they just look down on this young man. They are the real All-Stars, and this guy is just a boastful rookie.

Even if he made it to the All-Stars, all he would get was humiliation.

这场全明星赛最终西部以136：132赢下了东部，替补出场的奥尼尔以19投中12砍下24分11篮板，收下了全明星赛的MVP。

This year's All-Star Game has come to an end.

When Zheng Yang packed up and left the Staples Center, reporters guarding the entrance of the arena rushed over. They all noticed the actions of head coach Philip Saunders, and they were all eager to know how this young man felt.

“For others, this may be a complete journey.

But for me, it's terrible and I'm not going to be hypocritical and tell you 'yeah I love all of them, I love every single one of them'.

Go to hell, I tell you, I’m angry, very angry.

I'm used to other people's prejudice against me, but I'm not used to putting up with it.

I would get angry and I would destroy them.

Philip and the Kings, I can tell you straight away, you are doomed! "

After saying these harsh words, Zheng Yang left immediately.

After flying back to Dallas, he did not rush home to rest, but came to the gym for training.

What happened in the past two days was really terrible, and he really didn't like this feeling.

So he had to get stronger, even stronger, and make those bastards shut up.

……

Zheng Yang's words instead caused ridicule from Philip Saunders.

"He's just a rookie, and I think he should be happy that he can play four minutes in the All-Star Game.

Maybe he can even win the Rookie of the Year award with this.”

Miller and Peja also said: "In fact, we all hope to meet the Mavericks in the playoffs. Sending them home might be a good experience.

We are all looking forward to that day!"

　The playoffs are about to begin
