"Chris's first pick is Russell!! Westbrook!!!"
Turtle Turtle stood on the steps, his lips already on the verge of breaking into a grin. The moment he heard Chen Xi's announcement, they stretched into a wide smile.
He strode down the steps, bumped fists and hugged Chen Xi, then came to stand behind him. He took the No. 0 jersey representing Team Chen Xi from a staff member and gave the courtside camera a bright, beaming smile.
Team Chen Xi's first pick was about as predictable as they came.
Next, it was Team James's turn to choose.
There was no denying Old Zhang had plenty of experience putting on a show. After Chen Xi had made his first pick with such conviction, he immediately began playing coy.

Well, that wasn't much of a surprise either~~
Everyone in the league knew Old Zhang really wanted to team up with Irving again.
After nearly twenty minutes of "exciting draft picks," the final rosters for Team Chen Xi and Team James were finally set.
Team Chen Xi starters: Chen Xi, Curry, Doncic, Giannis, Jokic
Team James starters: James, Mitchell, Alexander, Durant, Embiid
Team Chen Xi bench: Westbrook, Brown, George, Butler, Tatum, Davis, 3J
Team James bench: Irving, Harden, Booker, Leonard, Adebayo, Towns, Siakam
