Chapter 45: All-Star Weekend

As mentioned in the previous chapter, with his outstanding performance in January 2007, Zhang Chu was elected as the Western Rookie of the Month for the first time in his life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then, a familiar message flashed through my mind again: "Congratulations to the host for winning the Rookie of the Month title for the first time, and the system rewards you with 2 data points, please choose----

System Prompt:

After reaching 85, the physical stat will stop rising, and no matter how much you train, you will not be able to increase, and you can only improve it by obtaining relevant honors or breaking records to obtain rewards.

After reaching 85 in offensive and defensive skills, it is recommended to improve by achieving relevant honors or breaking records to receive rewards. There will also be a slow improvement with training, but the effect is minimal.

……”

This? What is it?

Zhang Chu was stunned at first, but he figured it out after thinking about it, after all, the talent of the body is basically innate, and it is difficult to improve the day after tomorrow; Technique, on the other hand, is mainly acquired. This system is also in line with this common sense, such as strength, speed and so on, how to practice after reaching a limit.

However, fortunately, the system also leaves a backdoor for itself---- that is, to improve by winning various honors or breaking various records.

The system prompts that it will be difficult to have an effect on training in the future, so these two data points are precious, Zhang Chu's choice is very cautious, where to add it?

Zhang Chu: 2.02 meters tall, 98KG in weight, 2.18 meters in arm span, and 72 in comprehensive strength.

Physically:

Strength: 84

Bounce power: 83

Speed: 81

Explosiveness: 76

Stamina: 76

Flexibility: 79

Defensively:

Steals: 47

Cap: 42

Offensive rebounds: 42

Defensive rebounds: 46

Defensive awareness: 38

Offensively:

Shooting percentage: 32

Three-pointers: 38

Free throws: 60

Inside scoring ability: 25

Dunk: 35

Dribbling: 32

Passing: 22

Offensive awareness: 20

Key Ball: 30

Technique can be practiced, the body has an upper limit, these two data points must be added to the body data, strength? Velocity? Bounce? Explosive?

It's better to add it to the bounce force, because whether it is a dunk, a shot, or a block, the bounce is very important, height and arm span are dead, and if you want to shoot higher, or the blocking point is higher, you can only rely on the bounce force.

Originally, it was 83, two points and one plus, and it was 85 directly. This bounce is also considered to be above average in the NBA.

……

Just after the league officially announced Zhang Chu as the best rookie in the West in January, time passed quickly, and it was not long before February 14, 2007. This day is Valentine's Day in the West, and at the same time, it is also the first day of the 06-07 NBA All-Star Game. The so-called NBA All-Star Game originated in 1951. The game is a game of 24 professional basketball players (12 each in the Eastern Conference and 12 in the Western Conference, with 5 starters voted on by fans and 7 substitutes selected by the head coaches of each team) elected by fans and coaches.

The All-Star Game has evolved into the All-Star Weekend, a three-day event that includes the All-Star Party, Rookie All-Star Challenge, Slam Dunk Contest, Three-Point Shot, Basketball Challenge, Shooting Relay and All-Star Game.

Generally, the rookie game is scheduled on the first day, and the All-Star game is on the last day. With the outstanding performance of the regular season for more than three months, especially in January, after the significant increase in playing time, Zhang Chu was elected Rookie of the Month, entered the top five of the rookie list, and at the same time, entered the All-Star Rookie Game smoothly.

Unlike the All-Star Game, the starters of the All-Star Game are voted for by fans, and the substitutes are selected by the head coaches of each team. The rookie game is entirely selected by the coaching staff. Of course, with the popularity of the Rockets, the two cores Yao Ming and Maddie are thunderous All-Star starters, not to mention, they have maintained a very good physical condition this season, and their playing time has been reduced by one or two minutes compared with last season, but the scoring efficiency or something is higher.

The rookie competition consists of first-year freshmen versus second-year students, with 9 players on each side. The list of year olds goes like this:

The four inside are: Raptors' Bagnani, Trail Blazers' Aldridge, Jazz's Millsap and Rockets Zhang Chu.

The outside five are: Grizzlies' Gay, Bobcats' Morrison, Trail Blazers' Roy, Timberwolves' Foyer and Lakers' Famar.

After Zhang Chu saw this list, he sighed secretly in his heart, like history, the two big guards of the 06th class, Rondo and Lowry, still haven't played, and they are doing nothing, and they almost don't get any opportunities to play in their respective teams.

And the list of second-year ----

Four insiders: Bogut of the Bucks, Bynum of the Lakers, David Lee of the Knicks, and Granger of the Pacers.

Five outside linemen: Ellis of the Warriors, Felton of the Bobcats, Paul of the Hornets, Deron of the Jazz, West of the Trail Blazers.

……

The All-Star Weekend was held in Las Vegas, the northernmost part of the United States, and the NBA official also sent Zhang Chu an invitation to the "Three-Point Contest" and "Slam Dunk Contest", the reason for which must be that Zhang Chu is accurate in three-point shooting on weekdays, and he still maintains the first three-point shooting rate in the 06-07 season. Secondly, in the game with the Suns, he once rode Marion, and everyone was still looking forward to his dunk ability, so there was an invitation to this game.

However, only Zhang Chu knows in his heart that his three-point shot is accurate, which is just a bonus to his intentional ball control skills in berserk mode, and with his current real three-point shooting ability, it is still free to participate in the three-point competition. Similarly, that game against the Suns also temporarily adjusted the bounce to more than 90...... Slam Dunk Contest, let's wait until next year.

Not to mention the three-point contest and the dunk contest, even the All-Star Rookie Game, Zhang Chu does not have much expectation, because as we all know, the All-Star Game attaches importance to performance, attaches importance to offense, and weakens defense, and he started by defense, and the offensive level is not good, and there is no use for it on the All-Star stage.

Therefore, Zhang Chu, who accompanied Yao Ming, Maddie and others to Las Vegas, had the purpose of messing around, and then hurried home for the New Year. Because, on February 17, the day after tomorrow, it is the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, and during this time, due to the All-Star Weekend, the NBA has just a few days of free time and no regular season is arranged.

Of course, Yao Ming and Maddie are the two who are here to participate in the All-Star Game, and both of them are starters. Joke, when Yao Ming snatched the starting position of Western center from O'Neal in his rookie season, not to mention, this season, both of them are in good condition, and all statistics have almost reached the peak of their careers, and they are definitely All-Star starters.

However, the intention of arranging flowers and flowers failed, and the willows and willows were planted unintentionally, and at the rookie competition where Zhang Chu had no hope at all, he originally thought that he was just playing soy sauce, but the real situation was that Zhang Chu had a good performance ---- him.
