The New York Times reported after the first day of All-Star Weekend --

The rookies haven't beaten the sophomore team since 2002, but this time they changed that paradigm by playing passionately in the first grades, with Hogo and De Juan showing the passion and energy of the team.

As the new king of the New York Knicks, Hugo played with energy in the game, scoring 35 points, 13 rebounds, 23 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in the game. Spurs rookie DeJuan Blair had perverted statistics of 15 points and 23 rebounds in the game, and for the first time in the All-Star Rookie Game, a team had a double 20+ in points, rebounds, and assists.

On February 14th, there will be five individual events tonight, namely the Mixed Shooting Competition, the HORSE Competition, the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Shooting Competition, and the Slam Dunk Competition.

The HORSE competition was a new competition introduced by the All-Stars last year, and the first edition of the competition was won by Kevin Durant.

Wu Huang has been preparing for tonight's three-point shooting contest in the league's designated training hall in the afternoon, when he came to the game site after dinner, he first accepted a ten-minute interview with CCTV, and then accepted an interview with Japan, South Korea and other well-known Asian radio stations, at this time the first project "Mixed Shooting Competition" has ended, and he doesn't know who won the game?

But it doesn't matter, many fans who have watched the All-Star for more than a decade haven't watched the mixed shot contest a few times, because when they turn on the TV, they generally miss the same low-presence game.

"How's it going, has the HORSE race started?" Emperor Wu finds Gallinari and David Lee. The Knicks' three All-Star players sit on the sidelines together. A brief close-up of the live footage was drawn.

"It started right away. It's better to come early than to come at a good time. Gallinari said as he handed over a drink, the kind of stuff they couldn't drink too much, but it didn't hurt to have one once in a while.

"There's no way, some interviews can't be postponed, but fortunately you didn't miss the three-point contest, otherwise you would have won the championship directly." Wu Huang was in a good mood today, and made a joke with Gallinari, and they were still opponents for a while. The Italians lost yesterday and I'm afraid they will lose again today.

Wu Huang dressed up carefully today, of course, he didn't spend his own money to buy famous brands, the clothes on his body, including accessories and sunglasses, are endorsed products, of course, he has to come to show off the money for an exhibition, and grabbing a close-up shot is a reward of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As soon as the close-up camera just took a look at Wu Huang, there would immediately be hundreds of thousands of dollars more in his account, and the media outside who had already collected the money would report in detail the next day what brand of clothes, sunglasses, rings, watches, etc. on his body was, and the money spent by these paying merchants would soon be able to earn back.

It is worth mentioning the boots on Wu Huang's feet, who appeared in his rookie game yesterday in his all-star UA-Hugo-One. The sneakers feature the Knicks' home color scheme. The aggressive gradient color is not used again, but the All-Star Edition boots are available in limited quantities. Therefore, the price is much more expensive than the official version of the UA-Hugo-One.

Wu Huang's first-generation signature sneakers will be divided into three versions, the first to be released is the standard version, the All-Star version will be released on the All-Star Plug, and the playoff version of the boots will definitely be launched in the playoffs, but all three versions belong to the first generation, and the technology used is the same, the difference is only in the color scheme. And in addition to the standard version, the rest of the editions will be limited editions, the value of the collection is much higher than the standard version, and the price is naturally doubled, and ordinary fans cannot afford such sneakers.

It's the All-Star Game, and UA has specially designed two pairs of All-Star boots with different colors for Wu Huang, one to wear in yesterday's rookie game and tomorrow's main game, using the Knicks' home color scheme; In today's three-point competition, Wu Huang wore a special edition of the three-point contest with another pair of flame colors. UA has revealed in advance that once Wu Huang wins the three-point king, this pair of flame-colored sneakers will be released worldwide 999 pairs. If Emperor Wu can't get the three-point king, UA won't release this version of UA-Hugo-One, and there will only be two pairs in the world.

As of the end of January, Wu's UA-Hugo-One has sold more than 30 million sales worldwide, once again closing the gap with James and Kobe. But even so, Wu Huang is still nine streets away from the retired Jordan, whose sneakers sell more than 30 million in a month, which is higher than Kobe, James, and Wu Huang combined.

Michael Jordan has been retired for many years, but the influence of the gang leader is still huge, and in 2010, he was also the "most popular athlete" in the ESPN selection, selling more sneakers than the top 10 players combined, and has been so for nearly a decade, which shows the global influence of the gang leader.

In fact, Jordan's sneakers have been the top seller since the mid-80s, and now every two pairs of basketball shoes sold in the U.S. are Jordan's brand, and Jordan makes more than $50 million a year from them.

The H-O-R-S-E shooting tournament features three players: Celtics' Rajon Rondo, Sacramento rookie Omi Cosby, and defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant.

Durant defeated O.J. Mayo and Joe Johnson to become the first H-O-R-S-E champion last year.

The H-O-R-S-E Shooting Game was introduced during the 2009 All-Star Weekend and was played outdoors. The rules of H-O-R-S-E are that the first player chooses a point to shoot, and if successful, the next player must shoot in the same position in the same spot, and the action must be completed within 24 seconds. If the latter hits, you will get a letter "H", and so on. When a player gets the five letters "H-O-R-S-E", he is out. If the first player misses, the second player chooses the point and method of shooting.

Durant was last year's champion, and his opponents this year are Rondo of the Boston Celtics and Cosby, a rookie from the Sacramento Kings. As the champion, Durant took the lead, standing in the midcourt with his back to the basket and throwing the ball without touching the basket, which drew laughter from the audience. Rondo's shot touched the basket, but unfortunately missed, the audience felt sorry for him, and the last appearance of Cosby was also three non-sticky, and all three players got a letter "H" each.

Durant was back on the pitch and he was on the left wing close to midfield with ease, Rondo followed suit, he also hit the ball, and Cosby made another triple miss, which drew laughter from the crowd and he got the second letter "O". Durant then opted to shoot the ball from behind the left baseline rebound, and Rondo didn't finish it. Cosby stepped up to the free-throw line and hit the ball, and Durant and Rondo both hit free throws. The trio then switched several positions and shooting styles, but none of them hit the ball. Rondo shot from outside the court in the bottom left corner, the ball went into the net, and Cosby missed the shot, which allowed him to lead with "HOR".

In the next game, Casby missed two consecutive three-point imitation shots, and he took the lead in getting "HORSE" and was eliminated. After that, the game evolved into a 3-point competition between Durant and Rondo, both of whom shot 3-pointers at the top of the circle, after many rounds of competition, although Rondo played at a super level, but with his 3-point basket missed, he also got the "HORSE" five letters and lost, Durant successfully defended the title.

The HORSE event was followed by the Skills Challenge, where defending champion Derrick Rose was feeling a little unwell after yesterday's game, and today his hip injury has recurred, and the Bulls core is out of the game just to be on the safe side.

The league originally wanted to have Wu Huang replace Rose in this competition, but Rose wanted to have his friend Westbrook participate in the tournament instead.

It stands to reason that this situation usually depends on the personal opinions of the players, but the league feels that letting Wu Huang participate can improve the ratings, and many sponsors also mean this. In fact, it is not so much the tendency of the alliance as the strong demand of the sponsors!

Rose's personal opinion was of course insignificant compared to the demands of many financiers, so Emperor Wu received a notice from the Alliance.

Wu Huang was notified by the league officials when he watched the HORSE competition, originally he didn't plan to participate in this competition, but his super recovery ability made him feel tired at all today, and he was selected as a substitute, and he didn't practice beforehand, even if he lost the game, he would not be ashamed, in case he won, it would be countless praises, and it would not hurt to sell this favor.

The alliance was worried that Emperor Wu would refuse the invitation again, and after receiving a positive reply, David Stern was happy, and secretly said that he usually didn't hurt this little guy in vain.

Wu Huang urgently substituted Rose to participate in the Skills Challenge, and the news had already reached fans and live broadcasters from various countries at the end of the HORSE competition, and countless Wu Huang fans were boiling, especially Asian fans, which was a surprise for them. And this arrangement seems to have made this All-Star Skills Challenge the pinnacle of the old, middle, and light generations of point guards.

Wu Huang, Brandon Jennings, Deron Williams, Steve Nash. When the host introduced the four contestants in turn, many people seemed to have some clues about the trend of the competition.

The four players who participated in the Skills Challenge came to the venue to warm up after the HORSE competition, and exchanged ideas with each other by the way, waiting for the staff on the field to set up the props for the competition.

The Cowboys had 90,000 attendance at today's stadium, narrowly missing the 100,000 attendance record, and that record is expected to be broken tomorrow.

"I don't really know the rules of this competition yet." Wu Huang was chatting with the other three contestants before the competition, and as he spoke, he came up with something that made people laugh and cry.

Wu Huang does have a few small questions about this competition, if he doesn't ask clearly, it will be too wrongful to lose the game because he violates the rules of the game in the competition. (To be continued.) )
