"None of them have been completed, so you just wait for me to go up and be embarrassed. The update is the fastest," Zhao Wei said lonely.

"How so!" Nick Young was surprised, "Let's go, I'll take you to think of a few actions." ”

"Pull it down." Zhao Wei broke free from Nick Yang's drag, and said weakly, "I have to go to sleep first." There will be a game in the evening. ”

"Competitions? What competition? Nick Young wondered.

"Oh, yes. You've got your rookie game, and you're just thinking you're going to play in the main event. Forget there's the rookie game. Hey. Nick Young then came to his senses.

The Rookie Game is a stage in the NBA that is specially prepared for first- and second-year rookies. Let these young people show their talents to the world and gain popularity for them to grow faster.

Speaking of which, the MVP of the last rookie game was still in the Lakers' lineup, and that was Zach LaVine.

Last season, the young Timberwolves were the big winners of the All-Star Game. Downs won the skills competition.

LaVine won the Slam Dunk Contest and the Rookie Game. I don't know if the Lakers will be the next Timberwolves this year.

For an entire day, Zhao Wei locked himself in his hotel room. Whoever knocked, he wouldn't open it. But where to sleep during the day and sleep at night is of good quality. Until Zhao Wei was woken up by Lucy. Zhao Wei felt sore and weak.

"Tonight, I'm going to faint on the pitch. I'm going to kill you. Zhao Wei came to the sidelines and gritted his teeth at Laven and said.

"No, it won't." Ravan begged for mercy.

"I'm shaking right now." Zhao Wei gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe, persevere, just stick to it, rookie competition, the intensity won't be too big." Ravan said unsurely. He knows the contradiction between Zhao Wei and Russell, and Russell happens to be playing for the American team tonight.

Tonight was just a rookie game. The gap between the rookies and the big bowls of stars is still very large. However, the situation of the princes competing for hegemony has also created a situation. There are already a few players in this rookie game who have reached a very high level. Big Bowl stars also had to pay attention to the situation. The most notable are Towns and Embiid. And there are also Porzingis, Russell, Zhao Wei, Booker and others chasing after him. Especially Russell and Zhao Wei.

Russell was not sluggish during his years with the Lakers, but after arriving at the Knicks, he was like a rebirth. The all-round improvement makes everyone dare not underestimate this former parallel trade list.

Zhao Wei, the yellow-skinned little guy at the end of the first round. In the Lakers, it can be said that it is famous in one fell swoop. For his sake, the Lakers even gave up Russell, whom they had always valued. Although the addition of Porzingis and others has caused Zhao Wei's statistics to decline recently, he is still the strongest opponent to compete with Embiid for the best rookie. Moreover, no one will doubt Zhao Wei's status with the Lakers.

Downs, in his rookie season, completed 18+10 super stats. In this year, he has steadily improved and has steadily entered the 20+10 club. You know, this is his second year.

Embiid, the third-year rookie who took two years off straight. Two years of watching from the sidelines has brought him a lot of experience. Although there are still some gaps in his technique, his confidence makes him dare to do any action. His potential is expected.

Porzingis, Booker and others need no introduction. These are all potential candidates for future All-Stars.

Tonight's sidelines can be described as full of bigwigs. Many of the bigwigs are here to cheer for their own little brothers. Some of the bigwigs are here to join in the fun. For example, the four King Kong of the Warriors and the three guys of the Knights. There are rookies in their team, but they are all average in strength and rarely play. Didn't participate in this rookie competition.

Maybe they're here for entertainment, or maybe they're here to observe, and they're going to poach and add another one to their giants.

There have been three big three in the NBA, and now the Big Four have slowly evolved. But I don't know if there will be a Big Five under the "efforts" of these guys.

Of course, such an occasion is naturally indispensable to those entertainment stars. Lucy and Kylie Jenner got their tickets out of nowhere and sat in the first row.

The starters for both sides were announced shortly.

There is no doubt about the starting XI of the US team: Russell, Booker, Embiid, Okafor and Towns. Almost all of them are second-year teams. Only Embiid is a first-year freshman. The likes of Buddy Hield, Jaylen Brown, Ingram and others are not in the starting lineup. Because the newcomers to the U.S. team are too strong. Embiid isn't a first-grader. Because he's a rookie in the '14 class. It has to be said that the American team has confirmed that the majority of doubts about the 16-year-old rookie are right. This year is really a small year for the draft. Several promising newcomers did not get an average of 10 points per game. On the contrary, it was Zhao Wei who got such an unexpected existence. The other Ben Simmons hasn't played a game so far.

The lineup on the international side is much different. However, most of them are second-year students.

Zhao Wei, Moodier, Mario Herzonia, Jokic and Porzingis. Only one first-grader is Zhao Wei. Although the lineup is like this, compared to the luxurious American team, the international team is somewhat overshadowed. And there is also a Zhao Wei who is weak at this time.

Downs and Porzingis are known as the future twins in their rookie season. This title was not until the advent of Embiid, plus Porzingis came to the West. Therefore, Embiid took Porzingis' place.

"Ran into it again." Downs laughed.

"There are still many opportunities to fight in the future." Porzingis smiled and snatched the ball away from Downs' hands. The ball was given to Zhao Wei in the back.

Zhao Wei only dribbled the ball slightly twice and gave it directly to Moodier.

"Holy!" Zhao Wei was surprised.

Booker on the opposite side seems to be defensive, but in fact, it exposes a big hole to Moodier. After Moodier's successive flashy dribbles, Booker took the initiative to reveal a line. Moodier went straight to the basket and a one-handed dunk ended the first offense. It also sets the tone for this game.

Brothers, we're here to put on a show.

Both sides began to attack. Zhao Wei watched these guys fight so excitedly. He also started to have itchy hands.

Now everybody is attacking and there are points. The whole rookie game seems to have become a slam dunk contest.

However, there are two people who have not yet scored. That's Zhao Wei and Russell.

Russell took the ball and faced Zhao Wei, and the corners of his mouth slanted and said, "See you again." ”

"You seem to be very reluctant to see me." Zhao Wei said lightly.

"But you're not going to disappear from me." Russell said indifferently.

"That's right." Zhao Wei's mouth grinned.

That's the tone for today, so he doesn't want to be too serious with Russell. After Russell's consecutive crotch dribbles, Zhao Wei looked like a gambling steal. In fact, it was Zhao Wei who deliberately threw his body out to make way for Russell.

Russell pouted disdainfully. actually made a move when Zhao Wei arrived in front of him. Three-point shot, in response to the sound into the net.

"I don't need you to let me." After Russell scored, he smiled at Zhao Wei.

"Cut." Zhao Wei rolled his eyes, "It's just a show." You're a real person. ”

"For me, playing with you isn't a show. Get ready for a different rookie game. Russell laughed.

Except for Zhao Wei, everyone attacked once. It's like a tradition. So after everyone attacked one by one. The tournament is about to begin. When the time comes, it will be up to each of them to play.

Therefore, Moodier gave the ball to Zhao Wei, and at the same time kindly reminded Zhao Wei in his ear: "Be careful of the guy opposite you." ”

Zhao Wei was still surprised by Moodier's reminder. I didn't expect Moodier to remind him. To put it mildly, the two are not very good relations. There was even a small friction.

"Now we're teammates. Put a little beforehand beforehand. It's not too late to wait until you get back to your respective teams and teach you another lesson. Moodier looked at Zhao Wei's appearance and gave Zhao Wei a big look.

"Next time, I'll make you remember it longer." Zhao Wei grinned.

"I'll wait for you." Moodier also laughed.

Zhao Wei faced Russell. The atmosphere on the field was different in an instant. Russell can be said to be waiting for Zhao Wei. The hand kept interfering in front of Zhao Wei.

This goal will definitely not be easy, but Zhao Wei knows that he must score this goal. Because all nine of his previous shots went in. If he doesn't enter, it's not just a shame.

Zhao Wei made up his mind and chose to break through with his right hand. Russell stuck tightly, though.

However, just after Zhao Wei took the first step, Zhao Wei suddenly accelerated. The powerful force that erupted from his body forcibly knocked Russell away.

In Russell's interference, Zhao Wei jumped on his legs. Raise the ball above your head with both hands. Before Russell was about to block the basketball, Zhao Wei reluctantly exerted his arm and dunked the ball into the basket.

Dunk, the same as the first eight people. It's all dunks. And compared to those eight unguarded dunks. Zhao Wei's dunk is obviously more imposing and deterrent.

"Thank you." Zhao Wei grinned at Russell.

"You're welcome." Russell was not angry either, and replied in the same way. However, there was a glint in the eyes of both of them. Shoot straight at the other person. Aerial contact bursts out with a breathtaking majesty.

Everyone felt the difference in this rookie game. Zhao Wei and Russell became the fuse of this game.

Rookie games tend to score close to 150 points. That's because everyone didn't defend, they just left the door wide open, allowing the opponent to bombard their baskets.

Generally, in such a game, only in the last five minutes, if the score is still relatively close, then the two sides will officially start. However, this time it is different. The opening game was just three minutes. The way the two sides look at each other is already different.

The tension of the game was on the verge of a touch.

Such outbreaks generally start from the inside.

A big white man like Nukic has rarely played in this kind of exhibition game. Because they are more suitable for real combat with real knives and guns. Now there's finally a chance.

Nukic asks for the ball inside and faces Okafor's defense. Nukic played very hard. Dribbled the ball twice, and suddenly a front half turned. Hook your right hand, slash through the opponent's defense, and fall steadily into the basket.

Okafor was beaten, but it wasn't Okafor who fought back. Embiid looks like a big brother. Take the ball and face Mario's defense. Embiid is simply crushing. Mario simply couldn't stop Embiid's offense.

Embiid easily went to the basket as if he were devastated. Double-handed dunks.

After the goal, Embiid did what he did on social media, arrogantly stretched out his finger at Nukic and hooked it. The meaning is obvious: if you want to find something, come to me.

At the same time, another set of duels on the court also began. That's Downs and Porzingis's.

It's not like it's in the same team. Like Nukic, he's the Nuggets' confirmed future building core. Therefore, he has unlimited right to fire. As long as he asks for the ball, then his teammates have to give it to him.

However, many of the young people here come from the same background. Which one is not the central figure in the team.

Everyone has unlimited right to fire. So it means that it's not just anyone who wants to shoot and shoot.

Therefore, under Embiid's provocation, Nukic did not fight back immediately, but passed the ball out. Waiting for his own opportunity.

Porzingis got the ball and it was Downs he was up against.

Porzingis and Downs have a good relationship, and both know each other very well. Porzingis' skills on the inside are bound to lag behind Downs. And his flexibility on the outside is better than Downs'.

Porzingis did not opt to go inside. Instead, he chose to shoot from the outside. However, it is clear that Downs' defense is more adequate.

Outside shots already require more precise accuracy, so Towns is just a distraction. can make Porzingis' shot miss.

While Downs himself returned to the interior to collect the rebound, Downs controlled the ball himself and went to the frontcourt.

If you want to say that the youth army that is getting the most attention right now is the Timberwolves. They have two champions. The 15-year rookie game MVP is Wiggins's. The 16-year rookie game MVP was LaVine's. Although LaVine is not a member of the Timberwolves team now. But these two MVPs are still on the Timberwolves' book of glory. To say that Downs didn't have any ideas in this game is impossible. If you win the MVP of the rookie game three times in a row, no team in history has done it. And the Timberwolves are about to do it.

Downs controlled the ball himself across the half. The comprehensiveness of Downs' technology can be seen from winning last year's skills competition.

In the front court, Downs borrowed Russell's hand and poured the ball.

The inside line is facing Porzingis. Downs makes a shooting feint.

Porzingis' center of gravity moved.

Downs immediately turned into a breakthrough.

Downs, who entered the inside line, won the one-handed crackling button.

In the first round of the matchup, Downs defeated Porzingis. (To be continued.) )
