Go ahead, Yao.

Go talk to your fellow Chinese compatriot.

See if he's really as impersonal as Kobe says.

Early the next day, having heard the news brought back by Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, filled with extreme nervousness, found Qin Yue.

Although at that moment, standing in front of "T-Mac" was just a rookie.

But almost instantly feeling Qin Yue's powerful presence, McGrady couldn't utter a single word for quite a while.

However...

To McGrady's surprise, after giving him a pat on the shoulder, Qin Yue said with a calm tone, "Don't worry, I'll pass you the ball tonight."

Then, leaving McGrady standing bewildered in the wind, Qin Yue turned and headed off to yet another commercial event treating him like a workhorse.

In the afternoon, during the Western All-Star Team's practice, Kobe asked McGrady with a worried face, "How did it go? Is that guy stubborn?"

Hearing this, McGrady gave a wry smile and said, "Not really, he's more approachable than I expected."

The next moment, looking at McGrady, countless little question marks popped up in Kobe's mind.

Approachable?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Seeing this, McGrady added, "He told me not to worry and even agreed to pass me the ball tonight."

Beside them, Duncan, who knew Qin Yue far better than Kobe, Yao Ming, and McGrady, simply flashed a mischievous smile and went off to find his junior who just finished a commercial event.

Duncan knew very well that during the planning of "T-Mac Night," Kobe was simply judging the Messiah with the heart of a viper.

Indeed, many of Qin Yue's moves since entering the league have tagged him as emotionally unintelligent.

But when it comes to significant matters, Duncan trusted that Qin Yue wouldn't be cold-hearted.

Therefore, the challenge of this matter wasn't whether Qin Yue would agree.

It was whether you'd find him to discuss it with him.

As long as McGrady proactively sought Qin Yue, the problem would be solved.

So when everyone was choosing who should persuade him yesterday, Duncan unhesitatingly put the responsibility on Yao Ming.

"Yao, many times, even if you see it with your own eyes, the facts are not what you think."

Before bringing Qin Yue to train, Duncan patted Yao Ming's shoulder and said this.

That evening, the annual All-Star Weekend started at the Toyota Center.

This year, when it was time for the East and West teams to make their entrance, both teams completed their introductions with a dance routine.

However, compared to the Eastern All-Star Team's cool dance moves...

The Western All-Star Team's "wave dance" was quite awkward.

In Qin Yue's opinion...

The Western All-Star Team's starting guard Steve Nash, who designed this "wave dance," was truly a genius.

On the court, as the introduction ceremony ended, the big screen at Toyota Center immediately displayed the starting lineups for the East and West All-Star Teams this year.

Eastern All-Star Team: O'Neal, James, Carter, Wade, Iverson.

Western All-Star Team: Yao Ming, Qin Yue, Tracy McGrady, Kobe, Nash.

This lifetime, as Qin Yue took the floor for the first time as a starting All-Star, he no longer felt the prior excitement and anticipation.

Because during this All-Star Weekend...

He was literally both NBA and Nike's workhorse.

However, after surveying the court, seeing the Eastern and Western All-Star Team members both on and off the court, Qin Yue fully appreciated the star-studded period of the NBA.

For example, sitting on the Western All-Star Team's bench right now were Duncan, Nowitzki, and Garnett.

This year, even after slumbering through most of the season, McGrady still managed to snag a starting spot as a Western forward—if not for having a teammate like Yao Ming from China, how could he deserve this starting spot?

However, this was the Western Conference, which boasted both Yao Ming and Qin Yue.

Yet, unlike the past when O'Neal lost his starting spot to Yao Ming and got furious...

At this moment, whether it was Duncan, Garnett, or Nowitzki, they all believed Qin Yue was undeniably the worthy Western starting All-Star forward this year.

"Hey, Kenny, did you know that before the All-Star Weekend started, ESPN already announced the new list of the NBA's four great forwards?" On the commentary table, Barkley suddenly asked Smith.

Upon hearing this, Smith smiled and said, "Of course, the Messiah has already been listed in ESPN's new NBA four great forwards lineup. It's incredible, is this guy really just a rookie?"

The next second, after pausing, Barkley said, "The only regret this year is that we didn't get to see his performance in the slam dunk contest. Honestly, I'm already looking forward to the scene of him participating in a slam dunk contest in the future."

Qin Yue will definitely join the slam dunk contest in the future.

But now...

Play the game first!

At center court, O'Neal won the chance for the Eastern All-Star Team to attack first.

Just like in Qin Yue's memory, tonight, James, who was overly eager from the start, called for the ball as soon as he crossed half court.

Seeing this, Iverson, lacking any desire to attack, immediately dumped the ball over.

Before the game, Iverson and others had already formed a tacit understanding with the Western All-Star Team.

Coupled with his recent frequent conflicts with the 76ers' management, Iverson himself also wanted to take it easy. So, after passing the ball to James, Iverson decisively stepped aside to watch.

Honestly, the moment Qin Yue saw James with the ball intending to get past him...

He considered letting his good brother off the hook.

But since before the game, Qin Yue decided to join in on this "T-Mac Night"...
