"This All-Star Rookie Game was very lively"

Friday, February 10, 1996, Alamo Arena in San Antonio.

Lin Han came here with a group of Lakers players and instantly became the focus of the whole court.

"Boss!"

"Trevaux, do you only have the boss in your eyes, and if you become a star, you can see no one?"

"Aaron, stop, this is a new suit that I bought for half a month's salary!"

"Good boy, I'm willing to spend half a month's salary to buy a suit!"

All-Star, whether it's a rookie game or other events, can be considered a big sorority.

As the leader of all young players in the NBA right now.

Lin Han came to the sidelines, whether it was other young players who came to see the rookie game or players who participated in this year's rookie game, they lined up to greet Lin Han.

This row of noodles, the fans who watched the scene were amazed.

Last year's All-Star Season was very active.

Rookie Game, Slam Dunk Contest, Three-Point Contest, All-Star Game, Lin Han completed the first Grand Slam in NBA history!

This year, given his current qualifications, he certainly won't be able to participate in the rookie game.

Moreover, this year's Rookie Game Challenge Team and Legend Team matchup mode has changed again.

Players who can compete in the rookie game are now limited to high school seniors and rookie first-year students.

And the number of high school students and rookie first-year students is equal.

The Challenge Team and the Legends Team are four high school students and four first-year rookies.

High school players are recommended by the coaches and captains of both teams, and the remaining two spots are recommended by the league.

Eight high school players appeared in the rookie game, and such a change also made this year's rookie game more interesting.

This year's Challenge team is coached by Lakers superstar Joe Dumas, and the captain of the Challenge team is Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett.

On the Legends side, the head coach is the Raptors' partner Isaiah Thomas.

The captain is the current Raptors' leading guard, Damon Stoudemire, one of the two flying squirrels.

The matchup between two former Pistons stars, Joe Dumas and Isaiah Thomas, is also one of the highlights of this rookie game.

Moreover, because Kobe Bryant, the hottest high school player who announced his participation in the 1996 draft, was recommended by the head coach of the Challengers, Joe Dumas.

will participate in this competition.

So, at the scene of this rookie challenge, a large number of NBA scouts appeared.

This is to prepare for the inspection in advance.

They have watched a lot of one-on-one videos of Kobe and Lin Han.

However, it remains to be seen whether Kobe Bryant can lead the team as a core in NBA-level games.

This year, Joe Dumas led the challenge team, Garnett and Kobe Bryant are the absolute core.

As a result, Bryant has plenty of opportunities to perform!

"Boss, this game is very serious!"

Of course it will be serious, and the high school players will want to show their quality in this high-profile match.

Whether they go directly to the NBA or go to the NCAA in the future, this game is the best stage.

High school players are so serious, wouldn't it be a shame if rookie players weren't serious and were bullied?

"Kevin Garnett has been making balls for Kobe Bryant"

"Before this game, Jerry Starkerhouse said that he would teach Kobe Bryant a good lesson in this game"

"Jordan second vs Lin Han second, but judging from the current performance in this game, Jerry Starkerhouse doesn't seem to be able to teach Kobe Bryant a lesson"

"Hahahaha, and Kobe Bryant looks more like Jordan than Jerry Starkerhouse"

"It should be said that Jerry Stackhouse is more like a young version of Jordan, still playing with physical talent, while Kobe Bryant is younger than him, but his style of play is more mature and his technical use is more reasonable."

"After all, Kobe Bryant's practice object has always been Lin Han, and using physical talent in front of Lin Han will not work at all, you can only hone your skills and make your playing style more reasonable before you have a chance."

The matchup between Kobe Bryant and Stackhouse is undoubtedly the focus of attention from courtside scouts and fans.

Jerry Starkerhouse's performance this year was crushed by Garnett and was robbed of the captaincy by the flying squirrel.

But his talent is still the next Jordan who is the No. 1 rookie on the outside line this season.

How well Kobe Bryant performs against Jerry Starkerhouse will affect the outcome of the battle between Kobe Bryant and Iverson.

"It's only been more than half a year, and Kobe Bryant is so good now? Even the confrontation is not much worse than Stark House? That's too fast, isn't it? ”

Lin Han and other current Lakers players still know a lot about Kobe's current strength, but they don't know Trevolouven and Van Exel.

"It's all forced out, you haven't seen how miserable this arrogant kid was cleaned up by the boss during training, this kid just bullied Starkerhouse"

"Eddie, you're not right, Kobe Bryant is bullying you now, there's nothing wrong with it"

"Kobe Bryant is really good right now, but Tracy's improvement is the greatest! If it weren't for the fact that the doctor was now correcting his spinal problems and not allowing him to practice confrontation before he was fully developed at the age of 18, his strength would not be worse than Kobe! ”

After Eddie Jones mentioned Maddy, the other Lakers players really had nothing to say except for Van Exel and Trevoloffen.

That skinny teenager was even better than Kobe Bryant in terms of talent.

It's a pity that there is a slight problem with the body.

But fortunately, it was detected early, although it was a congenital problem, but Adidas equipped him with a special sports expert who could help him correct it.

It will not affect his career later.

And unlike the arrogant Kobe, the somewhat shy Maddie is much more popular with the Lakers.

However, these two teenagers with completely different personalities are usually each other's best friends.

Maddie is already strong now, and the improvement this year is even greater than that of Kobe.

But in this rookie challenge, he has no desire to show at all, and has been making balls for Kobe.

Seeing Maddie who had been playing for Kobe Bryant on the court, Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey remembered Hardaway who made the ball for Lin Han in the first place.

Hardaway and Lin Han, Maddie and Kobe, Hardaway's original talent was stronger than Lin Han, and Maddie's talent was also stronger than Kobe.

But Hardaway was willing to give Lin Han a hand.

And Maddie is also willing to play for Kobe Bryant now.

Maddie really looks like Hardaway!

Therefore, they usually train with Lin Han, Aaron Williams, and they have never seen Lin Han bully Maddie.

Don't talk about bullying like the abuse of Kobe.

Even when it comes to heavy words, Lin Han has never said anything to Maddie.

Lin Han's care for Maddie was simply the envy of the other miracle camp teenagers.

"The Legends played like a mess of sand in this game, Damon Studemire and Jerry Starkerhouse, Mike Bibby was too obsessed with heads-up, Odom was completely turned into a decoration, the challenge team In addition to Kobe, Kevin Garnett showed the strength to dominate inside and outside in this game, and Tracy McGrady was very eye-catching"

"Tres McGrady always reminds people of Pippen, no, his athleticism and ball sense are better than Pippen, his talent is no worse than Hardaway's"

"Tracy McGrady?"

Jerry Krauss, the general manager of the Bulls, who was sitting on the sidelines, liked it more and more.

The No. 25 player of this challenge team is a perfect piece of jade.

He doesn't see any shortcomings in him!

However, it's really a pity that the quality shown by Maddie in this game can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Such a player is destined to miss out on the Bulls.

Unless Pippen is traded for a top-three pick to pick him.

"Have you noticed that the cooperation between Maddie and Kobe Bryant is very similar to the cooperation between Hardaway and Lin Han in the 93 draft training camp?"

"It's very similar, Kobe Bryant and Lin Han are responsible for scoring, and Maddie and Hardaway's all-around are responsible for other things on the team."

"Back then, we missed Lin Han and Hardaway, and now the next pair of Lin Han and Hardaway is right in front of our eyes!"

"Kobe Bryant changed to the No. 9 jersey this year in order to surpass the No. 8 jersey worn by Jazz Lin Han, right? Maddy's No. 25 is the No. 24 that surpasses Lin Han in the Lakers? ”

"Kobe's No. 9 seems to be, and Maddie's No. 25 is said to be because of Hardaway No. 1 and Lin Han No. 24"

“1+24？”

"Yes, Maddie has always been a fan of Hardaway and Lin Han, I don't know if it's better to wear No. 1 or No. 24, and finally I wore No. 1+24"

"In this way, Maddy's personality is as gentle as Hardaway, and Kobe's personality is as explosive as Lin Han, Jordan wears No. 23, Lin Han wears No. 24, Lin Han wears No. 8, and Kobe wears No. 9!"

"Lin Han proved that he can surpass Jordan, will Kobe Bryant prove that he can surpass Lin Han?!"

All the scouts in the stands who were messing up the team looked at Kobe Bryant's eyes as if they saw the horny perversion of a beautiful woman.

In terms of current strength, Kobe Bryant is indeed not Iverson's opponent.

Iverson is still undefeated in the NCAA this year!

His speed is so fast and his breakthrough is strong, even in the NBA, he is the top!

Even if he comes to the NBA this season, many people think that he can score more than 25 points per game!

And Kobe, who averages more than 25 points per game, has the strength to do it now, no one can say.

However, he was able to beat Jerry Stackhouse one-on-one in this game, and he still has the strength to average 20 points per game.

And, the key is the potential!

Strength is very important, and potential is even more important!

How valuable will a high school student who has the potential to surpass Lin Han be?

Immeasurable!

"The 1996 NBA Draft is definitely the same as '84 and '93, and it's a big year for the golden generation!"

If it's bad, it's going to be bad, and even if you can't snatch the 76ers from the bottom, you definitely have to get the second-to-last!

Kobe Bryant and Iverson, if you grab any of them, you won't lose!

The final score of this year's All-Star Rookie Game was 116-93.

Joe Dumas and Garnett Bryant's Challenger team defeated the Legends led by Isaiah Thomas.

Among them, as one of the cores of the challenge team, Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 40 points on 15-of-28 shooting in this game.

Garnett, on the other hand, had a big double-double with 15 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, and 5 steals.

Maddy had a triple-double of 20 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in this game.

The protagonists of the challenge team in this game are these three people, and the data of these three people is also quite terrifying.

According to the rules of the previous two Rookie Challenges, the highest score of the winning team was MVP.

However, after the game, the judges looked at the data of Kobe, Garnett and Maddy, and finally voted tied.

Nine judges voted 3 to 3!

The challenge team in this game, Kobe Bryant is the sharp knife, Garnett is the cornerstone, and Maddie is the master.

The performance of the three is very eye-catching, it depends on which style the judges like.

"I heard that there was a tie in the MVP vote after the game, and the boss was asked to be the judge of the additional vote, who do you say the boss will vote for in this game?"

"Kobe!"

"Tracy!"

"Kevin!"

The three names that sounded at the same time made the three teenagers a little embarrassed.

Maddie really didn't think about winning the MVP, and Garnett didn't care too much, of course, the most important thing was Kobe.

But in order to support him, the two friends have been passing the ball to him, and he can't object to his friends taking the MVP, right?

Moreover, the nine judges voted tied, saying that the performance of the three of them was about the same.

In the end, it depends on Lin Han's preferences.

Lin Han's preferences......

Bryant sighed softly.

Who does Lin Han like the most?

Tracy, of course!

The MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge was Lin Han in the previous two sessions, according to the rules of the league last season.

Since this year, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge has been named the 'Lin Han NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge Most Valuable Player Award' by the league

In the future, Lin Han will present awards to the players who won the MVP.

Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Maddy led the Challenger players to the podium, where they stood a little tormented.

Lin Han was accompanied by league president David Stern to the middle of the podium.

"Congratulations, you won this game, each and every one of you is very good, but unfortunately, we need to find the best star of stars from you"

After David Stern congratulated the basketball boys, he handed over the MVP of the rookie challenge to Lin Han.

"Honoring this year's Most Valuable Player in the Rookie Challenge are Kobe Bryant from Inglewood High School, Tracy McGrady and Kevin Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves, congratulations!"

Three?

Hearing his name, Kobe, Maddie and Garnett were stunned.

"Why, you don't want to take the trophy from my hand?"

This time, the three of them were tied, how could he be a villain.

His vote was invalidated, and it was not bad for the three of them to win the MVP at the same time.

"Is it really the three of us together?"

"Of course, but this time the league has only prepared an MVP trophy, so Kobe and Tracy's trophies will be given to you later, this one belongs to Kevin"

Kobe, who was about to receive the trophy from Lin Han, retracted his hand with a red face when he heard this.

Molerate him again!

"Congratulations on winning the first Lin Han Award, you will go down in history!"
