Hardaway Jr.'s penny team has the big three of Drummond, Lillard, and Bradley Beal, as well as players such as Vitesse, Harris Barnes, and Antetokounmpo; Valanciunas's Webb team has a starting lineup of McCarvey, Olynyk, Trey Burke, Oladipo and Anthony Davis.

It was thought that it would be McCarvey vs. Lillard, or Anthony Davis vs. Drummond, and even if Oladipo and Bradley Beal shot against Biao, people would not be surprised.

Anyway, no one thought of the Grizzlies, the two first- and second-year players who participated in the rookie game, among them, Valanciunas played 6 minutes, scored 4 points on 2-of-2 shooting and didn't play again.

However, tonight's protagonist is Hardaway Jr.! With Lillard, Bradley Beal, Antetokounmpo passing, and Drummond's rebounding protection, Hardaway Jr. helped the Pennies beat Webb 142-133 tonight with a crazy shot!

With 42 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, Hardaway Jr. beat Lillard, who scored 9 points and 15 assists, Drummond who scored 12 points and 26 boards, and Bradley Beal, who had 30 points and 6 assists, and won the MVP of the rookie game!

Little Hardaway's wave method made Sun Ce, Paul George, and Klay Thompson who came to the scene all hi! waved the flag and shouted for the son of the famous man on the sidelines, and grabbed a lot of shots.

Little Hardaway also dared to throw! He played 29 minutes and threw 21 three-pointers, but he made 12 of them, tying Stephen Curry's rookie record of 12 three-pointers in a single game set in his 2011 rookie game.

It's just that after the penny team won the game and Hardaway Jr. won the MVP of the rookie game, the fans at the scene shouted "pennies......

……

"My father is Tim Hardaway, not Anfernee Hardaway!"

Few people win awards and are so grumpy, Hardaway Jr. yelled frantically at the camera during the post-game interview.

However, fans in front of the TV and in front of the computer are very puzzled, they don't care who Hardaway Jr.'s father is, they want to ask: Who are Tim and Anferney? Isn't this the son of a penny?

This year's rookie game between the two teams played fiercely again, continuing the "tradition" of the rookie game created by Sun Ce as a battle for face, and there is also the highlight of Hardaway Jr.'s outbreak, since the NBA entered the era of lords, the All-Star rookie game seems to have returned to the feeling of the 90s of the last century.

And this has a lot to do with the NBA's change of rules to mix and match first- and second-year players, although there is no difference between first- and second-year teams, but it is indeed more exciting and intense.

In addition to Hardaway Jr.'s 12 three-pointers, Drummond's 26 boards in a single game also set a new rookie record; Webb's McCarvey has 16 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 steals and 3 blocks, and is also the second player after Sun Ce to score 4 times 5 in the rookie game; Lillard also became the first player in his rookie game to have at least 15 assists without scoring in a double-double.

The rookie game was quite exciting, and it was a good start to this All-Star Weekend.

……

A day passed, and on Saturday, February 18th, eventing day arrived.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, in addition to business activities and watching rookie games, Sun Ce was also practicing most of the time, and the song performance was ...... His singing is perfect, even musicians with absolute intonation are difficult to find flaws in his singing, the focus is on whether other people's accompaniment and harmony can be practiced well.

The focus of the extra practice is on shooting from five fixed positions, and although there is a great All-Star Eventing card to use, you also have to adapt to the rules of the All-Star Three-Point Contest.

The most crucial of these is 5 shots from each of the 5 shooting spots, for a total of 25 balls, and all of them need to be shot in 60 seconds.

You have to quickly adapt to the change in shooting distance, the change in shooting angle, and the change in shooting posture due to these two points, to ensure stability, and to add the time to move in the middle......

The three-point contest and the official game, except for the same need for shooting accuracy, are too different in other aspects, and many famous three-pointers in history have not performed well in the three-point contest.

For example, Reggie Miller, the former NBA all-time three-point champion, participated in five three-point contests in the eighties and nineties and did not win a championship.

Curry, who began to participate in the three-point contest in his rookie year, participated in the other three three-point contests except for the year of the major injury, and failed to win one championship.

Korver, who has participated in the three-point contest three times, has also won one championship without one.

Ray Allen, played in 6 three-point contests and won 1 championship.

What Sun Ce is training hard now is how to quickly change positions and quickly enter the shooting state.

Otherwise, no matter how high the level of the bonus three-point is, you can't shoot all 25 balls, what do you want to fight with those guys who want to him?

Fortunately, Sun Ce didn't have to think about other things, he only practiced this, and after a few days, he was used to quickly entering the shooting state according to the change of angle and distance after moving to the next position.

The effect of "four o'clock in the morning" played an important role in his practice of this aspect.

But...... Sun Ce felt that this training was almost useless for actual combat competitions! This is simply for the rules of the three-point contest It is estimated that someone will train for this, there is almost no possibility of such a run in actual combat, it is too fixed, such a fixed running position, it is better to practice the three-point catch of the ball well, there is no need to run.

Sun Ce practiced until 9 o'clock in the morning, and felt that it was almost enough, and he would practice a few more rounds before the competition in the afternoon, and he would just compete in the evening.

At 10 o'clock, he came to the recording studio rented by the temporary orchestra and sang a few times with a few all-stars who came to practice the ensemble in the morning, Sun Ce felt that it was okay, although it was not professional, but at least it could cooperate smoothly.

However, a certain nitpicking No. 24 just felt that it was not good enough, and pulled Irving, James, Wade, and Love to continue to practice.

By 3 p.m., a relatively low-profile but still interesting game of the NBA All-Star Weekend — the Masters Game, had begun.

Usain Bolt, the world's sprinter who was abused by Maya Moore last year, made a comeback this time, and when he heard that Maya Moore didn't want to compete this year, Bolt was shocked and ready to regain his strength, and then met the new WNBA champion Britney Grina......

If Bolt's encounter with Maya Moore was the darkest moment of his past athletic career, it was Griner...... It's nothing, it's a female monster! Female version of James!

Maya Moore will play this kind of game, and Grina, as a rookie in professional basketball, doesn't care so much, the Masters game is the same as playing the WNBA, scoring a big triple-double of 19 points, 22 rebounds and 11 blocks in a single game, including chasing Bolt's hat 5 times......

TV commentators ridiculed - Bolt probably never wants to play basketball again in his life, for two consecutive years, the first year he met the queen of basketball, and the second year he met the female monster whose physical fitness is one of the best in the history of women's basketball.

Sun Ce was preparing for tonight's three-point contest, and when he heard Paul George, who was preparing for the slam dunk contest at the training ground next door, say that Bolt was going to make headlines again, he turned on the TV in the lounge and saw another female basketball player chasing Bolt's hat.

When Sun Ce saw Grina, he remembered that this was the champion show who disclosed that he liked women after being selected by the WNBA last summer, as if this year's rookie year was the peak of this champion show, and he broke the WNBA single-game block record in a few games after entering the WNBA, but it seems that it will not work in a few years, it is said that the style of play is too ruthless, and he likes to dunk very much, and he wastes his knees.

It's just that Bolt met the world's strongest Maya Moore last year, and this year he met Griner, who is the rookie at the peak...... Sun Ce felt that this guy needed to see a psychiatrist, it was too miserable!

However, Sun Ce feels that the NBA is also doing things, Maya Moore and Griner have been invited, will Bolt continue to be invited to participate in games next year, and then let Elena Dorne let Bolt feel the size of the female version of Curry?

……

……

"I'm sure I'll have you with me next time, right? Whoever asked you to say hello on the morning of the 15th left without a call, and now run to express envy. ”

"I'm not envious!"

"Really? Then next time I won't call you just James. ”

“！！！”

"Okay, okay, I told you to call you, why are you staring so big? A bar that big won't sell you alcohol......"

"Noah, I'm fighting with you!"

Curry pounced on Sun Ce with his teeth and claws, but was stopped by Harden.

Harden was surprised, Curry knew that he couldn't talk about Sun Ce, why did he take the initiative to get in and be teased?

Also, if you want to participate, you want to participate, but you twist and twist, you have to pull him out as a shield.

As for joining a band...... Harden is so fun-loving that he really doesn't really take that much interest in it, because he doesn't know how to play an instrument, he doesn't sing much, and he prefers to come to the beaches of New Orleans in the summer.

In the evening, after participating in the league's promotional activities, Sun Ce, along with Paul George and Klay Thompson, met the new dream backcourt of the Warriors, who are also going to compete in eventing tonight.

Curry was angry and said a few words about tomorrow's pre-game performance, how could Sun Ce not know what this elementary school student brother was thinking?

It's just that on the morning of the 15th, Sun Ce got up from a hangover and slept lazily, and when he was about to invite a few people, many acquaintances left first, but Owen and Lefu hadn't left yet, so only these two people were invited.

Now that the accompaniment combination of Kobe, James, Lefou, Irving, and Wade has run in well, the primary school students and Xiao Dengden have no choice but to stay for next year.

After chatting for a while, everyone began to prepare for tonight's game.

At 7 p.m., Sun Ce entered the court of the New Orleans Arena with the rest of the participating players.

For this year's eventing, the league has long revealed that there will be some changes to the rules, and sure enough, before the start of the Shooting Star Challenge, the host announced the new rules of the game for the participating players and fans at the scene.

The Shooting Star Challenge hasn't changed, but eventing itself has changed.

The Skills Challenge will be contested in the form of teams drawn by lottery, in groups of two, a total of four groups will participate, and two groups from each group will participate in the competition, and the one with the better score will be selected, and two groups will advance in the preliminary round.

The final is back to the individual competition.

That is, the one with the best score may be eliminated in the preliminaries, and the one with the worst score may advance to the finals......

As soon as this rule was announced, online complaints began.

In terms of the slam dunk contest, it was divided into two groups of matchups in the East and West, with Lillard, Paul George, and Harris Barnes representing the West; Ben McClymer, Terrence Jones, Wall represent the East.

This adjustment, analyzed by the TV commentator, is because none of the participating players are really capable of playing, and the viewing is not enough, and it is divided into east and west, so there is a "battle for honor".

There is no change to the rules of the three-point contest, but it has caused a lot of controversy - each player can choose a "good point", which will all become flower balls, and the other four positions will remain the same, which will still be 4 white balls and 1 flower ball, that is, the maximum score will be increased from 30 points to 34 points.

This means that in a few years, the highest points in the three-point contest will all be refreshed by the players behind them, among which Jason Capono, who retired and went to work as a commentator, scolded the street directly......

The only record he left in the NBA, which is the all-time record of 25 points in the three-point contest, may be obsolete tonight!

However, although the fans are also complaining that this is unfair to the former players, the fans are happy to hear about it.

This change, in the eyes of some, is unfair to the former players, but in the eyes of some fans, it is a rule change to make a certain unnamed record holder for the lowest score in the three-point contest vomit blood!

Now that the total score has increased to 34 points, even if Duncan and Howard go to the three-point contest, it will not be easy to break Sun Ce's 4 points, right?

Just like the ridicule of netizens, Sun Ce, who listened to the introduction of the rule changes at the scene, 10,000 words of "I'm a dog" are not enough to express his emotions of wanting to greet the vice president in a wheelchair.

He thinks about it now, it seems that there is such a rule change that was criticized by some champions of the three-point contest at the end of the last century and the beginning of the last century, and the school flower, who was not half-paralyzed and did not have urinary incontinence in the original time and space, also defended: It doesn't matter, the champion is still the champion, and it won't change......

Sun Ce felt that he was going to immortalize the history of the three-point contest, and the other players in the competition also reacted when they saw Sun Ce's expression like eating a fly, and they couldn't stop laughing.

Maybe it's a problem with aura, even if the other players who participated in the three-point contest this year did not form an "anti-lord league", Lillard, Irving, Morrow, Klay Thompson, Curry, and Harden were consciously divided into two camps with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce watched that Clay's little brother had "defected", and the world was so cold!

……

After the explanation of the rules, there was another wave of cheerleading performances, and the college students in New Orleans were enthusiastic and unrestrained, and they were very economical, and they hated having to wear them, and Harden was drooling when he saw Harden on the sidelines.

At 7:30 p.m., the Shooting Stars Challenge began.

Bosh fought three father-son pairs angrily, and once again successfully hit the Bosh line, turning the tide when the first two teammates were obviously behind the other three groups, and won the championship of the Shooting Star Challenge again!

Sun Ce has never watched this game before, and he has directly ignored it when there is a live broadcast in China, but since Bosh participated, this game has really become attractive, and when Bosh hit a midline shot, Sun Ce and other players were cheering for him.

The Shooting Star Challenge is over, and at 8 o'clock, the Skills Challenge begins.

The league wants to change the rules to increase the attention of fans and increase the desire of participating players to win...... It's a pity that the imagination is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

The players involved in the competition did not lack fighting spirit and desire to win, but now it has changed to the rule that luck is greater than strength, and some players have little motivation.

Dragic finished fourth in the preliminaries with a time of 33.5 seconds, but failed to advance to the finals, with Oladipo in first place and McCarvey in third place, and there was nothing wrong with Trey Burke, who finished seventh in the preliminaries, and Lillard, who finished second in the preliminaries, entered the finals.

In the finals, Lillard won the Skills Challenge by 0.1 seconds over McCarvey.

……

The change of the rules is very scary, and Sun Ce watched the skills challenge last year with relish, but this year, when the results of the preliminaries came out, Sun Ce felt that the finals were boring.

This is still luck, three of the top four in the preliminary round have entered the finals, and the most bizarre situation that may occur is that the first, second and seventh and eighth will enter the finals, and the third and fourth will be eliminated in the preliminary round.

This is just like Sun Ce's least favorite thing to encounter when he plays games, sometimes a game mechanism that is obviously very successful and reasonable, the plan has to die, and it is changed beyond recognition, and as a result, the old players of the game stop playing, and they can't attract new players, and then gradually die.

The Skill Challenge Champion Award is over, and tonight's highlight - the three-point contest is here!

Before the game started, the camera on the big screen on the scene had already been given to Sun Ce, who was standing alone.

On the other side, there is Lillard, who just won the Skills Challenge, the Warriors' dream backcourt wave combination, and the Pelicans' two big three-pointers, Klay Thompson, one of the Splash Brothers.

The feeling of distinction, just like last year!

The fans immediately began to heckle!

Let's start coaxing, Sun Ce can't stop it, he just thought about how to pretend to be forced, and was about to go to the host to ask for a microphone, but he saw the camera and a beautiful reporter walking towards him.

"I'm a son, and I still have special treatment for my grandson?"

Sun Ce had a black line on his face, and when he participated in the three-point contest, he also had a pre-game interview!

However, looking at Abby Hornacek, the daughter of the Suns coach opposite, it was quite eye-catching, Sun Ce put aside his unhappiness about the league's arrangement and greeted him with a smile.

Abby was direct: "Hello, lord, it's nice to meet again, you just broke the NBA three-point contest last year and was considered the least likely to break, do you want to do something this year?" ”

Live broadcast, of course, has to be direct, directly detonate the topic!

Sun Ce looked at this beautiful reporter in her 20s, with a good face and outstanding figure, and told his mood at the moment in Zu Ge's hometown dialect - this girl is not like a good person!

But at this time, everyone's attention was on him and Sun Cer, and Sun Ce also happened to take the opportunity to pretend: "I'm a person, I don't actually have any pursuits, it's just that I often succeed."

But there's one thing I like to do, and that's beating others in what they're good at.

Those few over there, who are they called? Sorry, I'm face blind.

Let's discuss it, who will be second tonight? ”
