Chapter 166 Tyler
On February 2th, US time, at 24 pm, Yang Ke and his teammates entered the locker room talking and laughing, and sat down in front of the cabinet marked with his name.

Then he took out the equipment from the backpack and started to change the game supplies. This year's Rookie Challenge did not design a unified jersey.Each player wears the jersey of their respective teams, so what Yang Ke wears is the No. [-] Spurs home jersey with a black base.

At the same time, on the other side of the continent, the whole of Asia is facing the morning of the 25th.In Huaguo and South Korea, countless fans have already woken up early, brought the snacks and beer prepared overnight, and sat in front of the TV and computer, waiting for the official start of the All-Star Weekend.

An hour later, under the attention of the audience and fans all over the world, the appetizer of the All-Star Weekend-the All-Star Celebrity Game started first, and the rookies who participated in the Rookie Challenge could only sit in the locker room due to regulations to watch.

The event has been held since 2004, and the participating players include retired NBA stars, current WNBA players, actors, singers, and some athletes from other sports.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, after the Masters match, under the notice of the staff, the rookies of the two teams also walked to the player tunnel, preparing to make their debut.

At the entrance of the player channel, Cole saw Yang Ke going behind the team. He waved his arms and shouted with a loud smile, "Yang, don't back up, come here, you are the first to play!"

"Yang, don't be nervous!"

"Ha ha!!"

Amidst the good-natured ridicule of the rookies, Yang Ke walked to the front of the team with a face of embarrassment. They didn't say anything about such a position, only because of the fact that Yang Ke was the second best rookie.

At this time, the lights in the arena dimmed suddenly, amid the deafening cheers of the audience, and the welcome of the live DJ.Yang Ke took a deep breath and ran out from the home team's bench.

"Yang! Yang!"

Under the spotlight, Yang Ke's figure appeared in the eyes of the whole world, and in the next second, thunderous cheers resounded from the audience.

When Yang Ke ran all the way to the three-point line under the guidance of the lights, the audience in a corner of the arena suddenly shouted in unison: "Emma! Emma!"

"Ha ha!"

The sudden sound of Emma's name made all the fans and audience stunned, and the sound was cut off for a few seconds. After a while, they reacted, and they were filled with deep laughter in an instant.

The director at the scene was even more straightforward, manipulating the camera, finding Emma in the VIP seats on the sidelines, and projecting it on the big screen in the center of the arena.Facing this scene, Emma waved at the camera very generously.

When Yang Ke trotted to the prescribed position and stood up, the camera also changed and turned to the player tunnel on the other side.After all, the Rookie Challenge is not a stage for Yang Ke alone. Being able to give such a period of time for the camera is already a great deal of face.

Not long after, players from both sides came out one by one, each player's appearance elicited loud cheers from the scene, and the cameras in the arena's hands never stopped for a second.

In the private room, Stern was very happy to see this scene, which shows that at least in the initial stage, the reform of the competition system he implemented has achieved very good results.

Ten minutes later, all the players had finished their appearance and stood in their respective halfs, staring at each other from a distance, just when the lively atmosphere of the fans and spectators was about to slow down.

The lights of the arena were concentrated on one point again. Amidst the exclamation and joy of the audience, Taylor Swift in a white dress, holding a microphone, walked slowly onto the court along the center line.

Accompanied by the music played at the scene, Taylor Swift sang "White Horse" with a moving voice that made people mesmerized.The aura of the little pop queen was instantly on the stage, giving fans and audiences all over the world the illusion of being at a Taylor Swift concert.

Such a comparison, not to mention Taeyeon, nine of them together, probably not as big as Taylor Swift alone, right?
Looking at Taylor Swift, who was singing heartily and holding the audience in his own hands, Yang Ke subconsciously compared with the singers he was familiar with.

But it's normal to have a gap, after all, the weather, the location, and even the harmony of people, there is a world of difference between Girls' Generation and Taylor.

Um?
At this moment, Taylor turned around suddenly, and while singing steadily, he walked slowly towards the half where the O'Neal players were.

Is this an arranged stage show?
He raised his eyebrows. Unlike the other rookies around him who started to get excited, Yang Ke still maintained a deadpan expression, thinking seriously. After all, even they didn't know about Taylor's stage rehearsal.

Not long after walking, under the watchful eyes of the audience, Taylor slowly came to Yang Ke. The two faced each other directly, and the distance between them was less than half a meter.Tyler just stopped there, singing to himself.

I have a bad feeling...

Looking at Taylor in front of him and her smiling eyes, Yang Ke swallowed subconsciously.Emma and Taylor are very good best friends. He and Emma once met Taylor together in private, and he knows her ability to manipulate people.

Moments later, the song ushered in an accompaniment, and Taylor didn't have to sing during this time.Under the staring eyes of the fans and audience, Taylor stepped forward slowly, getting closer to Yang Ke.

Then Taylor stretched out his head, passed by Yang Ke's right face, put his red lips on his right ear, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Yang, let me tell you, If you can't win the MVP tonight, I'll take Emma away overnight."

Isn't it? So ruthless!
The corners of Yang Ke's mouth twitched, not to mention the words she said now, without thinking about it, with the current posture of the two of them, the Internet must be boiling again, as if he saw the frantic bombardment he was about to face again.

After finishing speaking, Taylor precisely controlled the timing and pulled her head back. Just after the accompaniment, she raised the microphone again and continued to sing...

"Guys, our starting lineup is: Yang, Jeremy Lin, Morris, Griffin and Monroe, play well, and you can allocate the ball according to the situation."

On the bench, Steve Kerr held a tactical drawing board and announced his starting lineup in a decent manner.

As for the general manager of the team, O'Neill didn't say a word even though he was standing beside Cole. Instead, he kept winking at Yang Ke. If it wasn't for the wrong time, he would have gone up to ask about the relationship between Yang Ke and Taylor.

Looking at the five players in front of him, Cole, who was the head coach for the first time, seemed very excited, but in his heart, he already had a set of playing styles that he had already thought up, and continued: "Speed ​​up the rotation, try to open up space as much as possible, so as to create Take more shots."
