Chapter 455: The Great Emperor is everywhere, and not a single grass grows
This year's All-Star was held in Toronto, and it was also the first time in NBA history that an All-Star Weekend was held in a city outside of the United States. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs an annual carnival time, a few days before the start of the All-Star Break, the city of Toronto is already shrouded in a warm atmosphere, everyone's heart is on fire, and it seems that the cold has decreased a lot.
According to the league's arrangement, Toronto All-Star Weekend is held on the 13th~15th. As in previous years, the 13th was the time for players and media to meet, followed by the International Masters, and finally the All-Star Rookie Game, the highlight of the day. On the 14th, the atmosphere of All-Star Weekend will be pushed to a new level, and the individual games held on that day are also the most popular for fans. Finally, on the 15th, the All-Star Game will be held, which is the highlight of the annual All-Star Weekend.
Because he didn't have any work and didn't need to coach the All-Star, Chu Xuan, who was idle, finally got time to rest. Instead of going to Toronto to experience the all-star carnival, he stayed in Los Angeles and enjoyed a relaxing time with his girlfriend Adeline.
Of course, Chu Xuan also took the time to pay attention to this year's All-Star Weekend, because many players in the Lakers participated in the All-Star Weekend this year to impact personal honors. As the head coach, although Chu Xuan didn't go to the scene to support these guys, he still paid attention to the game.
On the first day of All-Star Weekend, the International Masters showed a Chinese face, a Canadian entertainer named Wu Yifan. Although it was only a Celebrity game, it finally made him show his face at All-Star Weekend. This made him famous, and of course, it can be said to be the fulfillment of his childhood NBA dream, which is definitely the envy of all young people.
Speaking of which, Chu Xuan also officially got an invitation from the NBA league to participate in the Masters Game during the All-Star Weekend in '17. For this invitation, Chu Xuan of course accepted it gladly.
The Masters is a purely entertaining event, and the event comes to an end amid the sound of fun and laughter. Immediately after, the rookie game was held as scheduled.
The format of this year's Rookie Game continues last year's rules, with the U.S. vs. International United.
The U.S. team has Parker, Downs, LaVine, Smart, Devin Booker and many other superpotential stars, and their combat power can be said to be extremely strong. However, this year's International Squad is also highly anticipated. Because in this year's International League, there are Embiid, Wiggins, and Porzingis. Embiid, in particular, was totally the biggest surprise of the season. This season is Embiid's first season, as the Grizzlies' starting center, Embiid seems to have never touched the rookie wall, and quickly played an amazing individual performance, until the All-Star Weekend, Embiid's performance is not at all like a rookie can play, averaging 20.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, and he only averaged less than 30 minutes per game to play such data.
Without Embiid, not many people would be optimistic about International United. However, now because of Embiid's existence, there are many voices from the outside world who support the international team, believing that Embiid and Wiggins, two college teammates, can lead the international team to defeat the American team.
Naturally, the confrontation between young people is extremely intense, which makes people extremely excited to watch. After four quarters of the game, the excitement came to an end in the exclamation of the world.
Relying on Embiid's three-point shot, the international team defeated the United States team 141-139.
Embiid slashed 51 points and 26 boards, hit five three-pointers, and undoubtedly won the MVP of the '16 All-Star Rookie Game, which was his first NBA honor. And college teammate Wiggins contributed 37 points.
Under the explosion of the international team's twin stars, the wonderful performance of the players of the American team is also of great significance.
In the Lakers trio, Towns had 15 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, and he became the first player in rookie history to have a triple-double. LaVine made 7-of-9 three-pointers, scored 29 points, and made many stunning dunks to warm up for tomorrow's All-Star dunk game. Devin Booker made 6-of-7 three-pointers and scored 18 points. Jabari Parker scored a U.S. team-high 35 points.
This year's rookie game is definitely the most exciting rookie game in NBA history, with accurate three-point matchups and blood-pumping dunk performances, all of which can make people fascinated to watch. For the U.S. team, it may be just one step away from reaching perfection. However, the end result can only be said to be that God is also favoring Embiid, and this guy is making this league crazy for him......
Chu Xuan naturally knew about Embiid's slashing of the oversized double-double and shooting the killer shot, and there was no doubt that this was a demonstration of Embiid's dominance among his peers, and his all-round and skillful skills made him an unprecedented rookie in history. Chu Xuan feels that Embiid will become another dominant-level interior after Olajuwon and O'Neal.
……
Embiid was the biggest spotlight on the first day of All-Star Weekend, with the world's media covering the big man from Cameroon. Embiid and Olajuwon share very similar life experiences, and their late introduction to basketball doesn't stop them from being the best players in the slightest. Although for a long time before, many people doubted Embiid's talent and questioned his future ceiling. Moreover, before the draft, there were very many fans who thought that he would become the second Tabit. But, as it turned out, what a ridiculous questioning it was. Embiid proved his terrifying talent with his individual performance, and many people couldn't help but sigh for this, the Grizzlies waited for Embiid for a year to be absolutely worthwhile.
With 51 points and 26 rebounds in the rookie game, there is no doubt that this guy is destined to be recorded in one of the brightest spots in history. And, you know, his career has only just begun.
……
For this year's Toronto All-Star Weekend, the first day was just a warm-up for a little fight. The game that really caught the fans' attention was on the second day, and it was certain that on this day, the ratings of the All-Star Weekend were definitely higher than the main All-Star Game.
The reason for this affirmation is that there was a special participant in the individual event held on the second day, LeBron James.
As the strongest player in the league, James promised to participate in the slam dunk contest last year, and he will have a dunk contest with Zach LaVine, the new slam dunk king who is known as the strongest dunk player after Carter...... This is something that basketball fans around the world have been looking forward to for a year, and now that it is officially held, it is natural that no one can watch it with a normal mind, let alone not pay attention to it.
