Presumably because Wang is sitting on the sidelines tomorrow, Paul Millsap has been particularly aggressive at this year's Rookie Challenge.

Interestingly, second-year Danny Gibson was particularly accurate in this game, and when Millsap grabbed the rebound and passed in the front court, Gibson made a beautiful three-pointer.

In last year's playoffs, the two were still enemies of life and death, but when they arrived at the All-Star game, they cooperated tacitly.

Gibson's magical three-point shooting became the main theme of today's Rookie Challenge.

As a first-year starter in the Rookie Challenge, Yi Jianlian performed remarkably, contributing 8 points and 2 rebounds in the game, and also performed two aerial relays, showing his physical fitness at a glance.

James seemed to be ready for Gibson, and every time Gibson hit a three-pointer, James, the leader of the team, stood up and applauded and walked around the court.

Gibson shot more and more bravely, and throughout the game, he shot 11 of 20 shots, all 20 of which were 3-pointers, scoring a game-high 33 points.

Gibson looks like a preview for tomorrow's three-point contest.

And Paul Millsap had a triple-double of 19 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists, which was also excellent.

In the final selection, it is difficult for the competition committee to choose.

After a long day of discussion, it was decided to award the MVP trophy to Paul Millsap.

Both have broken MVP records, and no player has ever made 11 three-pointers in the Rookie Challenge before, but at the same time, no one has completed a triple-double.

Compared to Danny Gibson, Paul Millsap is more star-studded in the eyes of the All-Star selection committee.

As soon as the award came out, of course, it was quite controversial, but the stars on the scene, even LeBron James, did not hesitate to send applause and encouragement, after all, in everyone's opinion, whoever won this award is worthy of praise.

The host interviewed Paul Millsap live.

"How does it feel that you got the first MVP of your career?"

Millsap shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head, and joked: "Of course, this feeling is very, very good, like completing a satisfactory answer sheet, and the teacher also gave the highest evaluation." ”

"Then this MVP trophy will definitely be placed in the window of your house, and it will be well displayed and glorious?"

"Of course, I'll keep it for good, it's my honor, it's not for sale, and I'll never throw it away unless someone asks me." Paul Millsap paused and pointed to Wang Mingming on the field, "For example, my head coach Wang Mingming, this honor also belongs to him." ”

Haha, everyone laughed, and the camera was given to Wang Mingming.

Wang Mingming smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he could only raise his arms high and applaud.

The Rookie Challenge, the first event of All-Star Weekend, went to a climax in this final award ceremony.

.......

Following.

Saturday night.

It was a busy day, with an all-star practice in the afternoon at the arena in New Orleans.

The all-stars have a main game tomorrow, in fact, they are all performance-based, and there will not be too many strong confrontations, but the competition system still arranges such a serious training, and the media are invited to watch and take pictures.

After all, if the All-Star suffers an injury at the All-Star Game, the All-Star Committee will definitely not carry this pot.

So there will be a lot of hype about this.

Wang Mingming made contact with the star players of both teams, and mainly focused on the players in the east.

The first thing he said when he entered the door was to startle everyone.

"This year's playing time, I will arrange it according to everyone's needs, I know that in our team, some players are eager to play a little longer, and some players do not want to play more on the field, these are understandable, so in my case, I will analyze the specific problems on a case-by-case basis."

Wang Ming said with a smile, don't be embarrassed, you still have to express it.

Wang Tomorrow told all the arrangements so openly and honestly, of course, everyone was quite satisfied, and Rashid Wallace was the first to propose to Wang Tomorrow to reduce the playing time.

"Coach, I want to play a little less."

There was some tiredness in Rashid's tone, but Wang Mingming's heart moved, but he understood what he meant.

The All-Star power forward position in the East this year is a curse, and Kevin Garnett, who became the ticket king, was injured after being selected to the All-Star starting lineup and was subsequently replaced by Chris Bosh as the starter.

But the good times didn't last long, and Chris Bosh was also injured and couldn't play the All-Star Game.

Rasheed Wallace became the starting point of the Eastern Conference All-Star power forward as the third bench, and because he didn't put it in earnestly, it was always a little embarrassing to come off the bench.

What's more, the Pistons' record is average, and players such as Rasheed Wallace and Billups have a simple style of play, which is not suitable for the All-Star Game, and it is normal to have some thoughts in their hearts.

"Then let me play a little longer, Coach Wang!"

Dwight Howard was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star starter for the first time in his career, grinning happily like a big kid.

.......

After two hours of All-Star training, the All-Star Game of the Development League was ushered in in the arena, and the attention was not high.

In the evening, there was a mixed shot, a skill challenge, a three-point contest, and a slam dunk contest.

.......

The real All-Star feast is the All-Star Game held on the last day.

On this night, the stars shine brightly, and basketball fans from all over the world gather.

Wang Tomorrow saw many acquaintances, but he could not call out the names in his mouth.

Before the start of the game, Yao Ming walked over with a Chinese who was not very tall, and Wang Ming looked at it and immediately laughed happily.

"Coach Wang!"

Jet Li took the initiative to reach out and greeted Wang Mingming.

"Teacher Li!"

Wang Mingming respectfully called a teacher, with Jet Li's status in the Chinese entertainment industry, this teacher is not too much, not to mention that he grew up watching Jet Li's movies when he was a child.

"Haha, I'm so glad to see you, let's take a photo together!"

Jet Li excitedly pulled Wang Mingming, and then the three of them stood in the stadium, and with the help of the staff, they took a photo.

Jet Li and Yao Ming have participated in public welfare activities together before, and he is a loyal fan of the NBA, and previously admitted in an interview that he hopes to see a more entertaining All-Star game.

"Where is Coach Wang from?"

After the usual Chinese questioning, the three of them exchanged pleasantries, and gradually became acquainted, and from time to time they let out loud laughter when chatting.

Before the start of the All-Star Game, Wang Mingming and Jet Li left each other's contact information, which can be regarded as official friendship.

Wang Ming turned his head and walked to the sidelines, threw away the tactical board, and became the shopkeeper who shook his hands.

The starters have been fixed, and he has communicated with all the players in the order and time of play, and if there is no special tactical arrangement, his task today has actually been completed.

It is no different from the fans watching the game on the sidelines, it is enough to enjoy it quietly.
