Chapter 193: The Rookie Game Begins

On Feb. 16, All-Star Weekend kicked off at the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets, and the Rookie Challenge kicked off on the same day. Fastest updates

On the 17th, a skill challenge, a three-point contest, a dunk contest and a shooting star contest were held, and the All-Star Game was staged on the 18th.

As soon as Yang came to Houston this time, he participated in two competitions, namely the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Race. Originally, he still wanted to participate in the three-point contest, but the NBA officially announced the new rules for this All-Star Game in the new season.

Challenges (including the Shooting Star Tournament, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shooter, and Slam Dunk Contest) will be changed from the previous players playing separately to teams in the East and West. Each team member is assigned a team leader, and the team with the highest score will be the winner of the 2013 All-Star Challenge Night.

If there is a personal honor, he can still go and join in the fun. But the team game is really boring, with this energy, he might as well stay by Su Ling's side and rest by the way.

I've been in the league for more than half a season, and now it's a serious time to rest, so it's a pity not to be lazy. Besides, he is famous enough now that he doesn't need to rely on these performances to gain popularity and increase popularity.

……

For the 11th year in a row, fans in 215 countries and regions received the most detailed coverage and service of the All-Star Game through NBA Digital, TNT and ESPN.

Kyrie Irving, last season's Rookie of the Year, and 18 other young players, including Yang Yi and Anthony Davis, were selected for the Rookie Challenge.

This year's rookie game will continue to be played in a mix of one- and two-year players, with nine players on each team, and the roster of players participating in the rookie game will be selected by the assistant coaches of each NBA team.

Anthony Davis and Yang Yi will be the focus of attention for first-year freshmen, with Davis averaging 7.6 rebounds per game this season and topping the rookie list with 1.8 blocks, while Yang is averaging 45.3 points per game to top the rookie list and, of course, the league, and winning back-to-back Rookie of the Month awards.

Kyrie Irving is undoubtedly the brightest star in the sophomore season, averaging 23.9 points, 5.5 assists, 1.8 steals per game this season, shooting 47% from the field, and scoring 34 points in the rookie game last season to win the rookie game MVP. In addition, Parsons of the Rockets also managed to make the list.

This year's rookie game is still split between the teams of Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal, and Barkley and O'Neal will still serve as the team's head coach. O'Neill is the first-year head coach and Ross Barkley is the second-year head coach.

Originally, Barkley wanted to be a first-year head coach, but he couldn't compete with O'Neal, who also wanted to be a first-year head coach, and finally had to be a second-year head coach.

Rookie Challenge's list of first-year players:

Yang Yi (Hornets), Anthony Davis (Bobcats), Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers), Harrison Barnes (Warriors), Bradley Beal (Wizards), Andre Drummond (Pistons), Alex Sherwed (Timberwolves), Dion Waiters (Cavaliers), Tyler Zeller (Cavaliers).

List of second-year players for the Rookie Challenge:

Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers), Farid (Nuggets), Brandon Knight (Pistons), Leonard (Spurs), Chandler Parsons (Rockets), Klay Thompson (Warriors), Tristan Thompson (Cavaliers), Ucevic (Magic), Kemba Walker (Bobcats).

However, before the challenge begins, the first and second year bunches will have to prepare for the corresponding activities.

10:30 a.m.: Rookie Challenge training; 12:30: All-Star interview; Blackjack, the Rookie Challenge has just officially opened.

"Anthony, how do you say to play the next game, the second grade doesn't seem to be able to carry your inside line!" During training, Young said to Davis with a smile.

After entering the Alliance, they had a better relationship than they did when they were in Kentucky. At least the two have a lot more contact than before, and they have more topics in common. Although the two are always compared by the media, both of them know in their hearts: they are no longer on the same level!

"Don't say that, theone, won't the second grade outside line stop you?" Anthony hit the shot and scolded the fat man.

"They can't stop my attack, but I can't stop Owen either! That guy plays too aggressively, always showing off a dazzling set of moves, and will be teased by him if he is not careful. Yang Yi rubbed his hands and said depressedly.

In the regular season against the Cavaliers, he had already tried Irving's martial arts, but it was difficult for him to block Irving's offense except for close defense.

"Don't worry! I'll leave it to Owen later. As long as he dares to hit the inside line, he must be invited to eat hot pot. As the king of blocks among rookies, Davis said this with a sonorous and confident voice.

Seeing that Yang Yi and Anthony stopped chatting instead of training, the fat shark sitting on the sidelines couldn't be idle. He stepped forward and joined the two in chatting.

"Theone, you're going to have to behave later! I managed to get the position of first-year head coach from Charles, and if you don't do well, I won't lose face in front of Charles. O'Neill stood in front of the fat man and said in a low tone.

Although his tone was low, his excited expression betrayed the true thoughts in his heart. Barkley is known as the first 'Yang Blow', but he failed to be the head coach of the first year, which makes the sharks somewhat proud.

What's yours is mine, mine is still mine! This is the true thought of the fat shark at the moment.

"Shaq, it's not a problem against second grade, but I don't want to play too long, it's not much fun to play against those guys." O'Neill's expression was excited, but Yang Yi was a little frivolous.

Anthony opened his mouth to the side, trying to say something but couldn't. Yang Yi is really different from when he was in Kentucky, when it comes to playing against the second grade, his expression is so indifferent, as if he is about to play against Passerby A, he doesn't take the opponent in his eyes at all.

"You kid, you're crazy!" The shark was a little surprised by the arrogance of the fat man. "Although the second-year pair is not very strong, Irving and Leonard and Thompson are still quite expected, how sure are you to beat them?"

"Hey, I'm not that sure, but we still have Anthony, don't we?" The fat man deftly shifted the subject and threw the pot at Davis.

In fact, he didn't have any other ideas, just to take more rest while everyone was excited, so that he could better deploy his physical fitness in the regular season later, instead of having to buy physical recovery potions at the end of every game to persevere.

And the system upgrade is imminent, so try to save as much energy as possible. For this, he can even give up the rookie game MVP.
