In today's All-Star Rookie Game, the starting five first-year rookies were: two interior ---- Bagnani and Aldridge, three outside ---- Roy, Guy and Morrison, and Zhang Chu sat on the bench. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The first row of the audience behind info sat Yao Ming and Maddie of the Rockets, these two will only play in the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow, and they came today to help the team's little brother Zhang Chu.

Since the All-Star Weekend is basically a show, the atmosphere is very relaxed, so at the moment, the three of them are chatting about where to play after the All-Star Weekend is over. Because after the All-Star break every year, the NBA schedule has a few days to spare at the mid-season trade deadline.

After half a year of study and exercise, Zhang Chu's English level has finally reached the level of American elementary school students, and basic conversations and chats are almost possible, so he can understand what Maddie says.

Maddie is going to the shipwreck in Miami in the southern United States for a vacation, Yao Ming is parents in Houston, he wants to accompany his parents at home, and Zhang Chu directly said that he wants to return to China, because, two days later, February 18, is the traditional Chinese festival ---- the Spring Festival! I miss my relatives every festive season, not to mention, I haven't been home for more than half a year since I came to the United States last summer. Zhang Chu prepared to embark on the journey home as soon as the All-Star Rookie Game was over.

"You kid, okay~" Maddie said with a smile, "When you compete, our two big brothers came to the scene to cheer you on, and when the two of us competed the day after tomorrow, you won't come......"

Yao Ming also smiled, knowing that Maddie was joking, and said to Zhang Chu: "Then let's do it, you plan your itinerary, and I will let my agent arrange the whole process of your return to China." ”

Zhang Chu touched his hair a little embarrassed and said, "This, it's not suitable, I'll do it by myself." ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you!" Yao Ming waved his hand and said undoubtedly, "You know no, you are now a public figure in China, so you just go back recklessly, hehe......"

Yao Ming is still relatively thoughtful, he has a team behind him, and Zhang Chu doesn't even have an agent, plus his English level is enough, so he can't avoid a lot of procedures along the way.

……

Zhang Chu and the three of them were chatting on the side, and the commentators of this game were not idle, discussing the best rookie candidates for this season.

The current top five rookies in the NBA are: Roy of the Trail Blazers, Gay of the Grizzlies, Morrison of the Bobcats, Bagnani of the Raptors and Zhang Chu of the Rockets. Halfway through the 06-07 season, the true strength of these rookies and their ability to adapt to the NBA are basically revealed.

The commentators were largely unanimous in their belief that Roy, Gay and Morrison were the contenders for Rookie of the Season and the MVP contenders, provided that the first year had the ability to beat the second year. As for the other two in the top five of the rookie list, they are not favored, and the reason given by everyone is actually very simple.

Roy, Gay, and Morrison are all now starters in their respective teams, and have even been cultivated as the core, and by the end of the season, the statistics will certainly not be too bad. Although Bagnani and Zhang Chu are in the top five of the rookie list, they can't even start in their respective teams, and they can't be compared with the top three at all. Because the Raptors have Bosh, Bagnani can only play as a substitute, and Zhang Chu of the Rockets has never played a start.

……

In the game on the court, you have a ball, I have a ball, you have a back dunk, I will have a crotch dunk, anyway, the All-Star Game performance is more meaningful, therefore, those players who can jump, fly, dunk, and have super scoring ability will have more opportunities to play, and people like Zhang Chu who have defensive skills will have few opportunities to perform. Because, the audience is here to watch the show, not to see any high-intensity defense---- which can be seen enough in the playoffs.

Therefore, in the entire first half, Zhang Chu only played three minutes, but fortunately, he got two points.

In the third quarter, Zhang Chu was still sitting on the bench, watching others play on the court, although Zhang Chu was mentally prepared that he was here to play soy sauce. With his own style of play, he definitely doesn't have much chance at the All-Star Game, but it's boring enough for Lao Gan to sit and watch other people's performances.

As if seeing what Zhang Chu was thinking, Maddie, who was sitting behind him, patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, your chance is coming soon!" ”

"Opportunity?" Zhang Chu turned slightly sideways and looked at Maddie.

Seeing Zhang Chu's puzzled gaze, Maddie explained: "There is an unspoken rule for All-Stars, the first half is an exhibition game, and in the third quarter, it basically starts to get serious, and in the fourth quarter, it starts to do ......."

"Not bad!" Yao Ming, who had been holding his chin and observing the situation on the court, also opened his mouth and said, "In the fourth quarter, especially at the last moment, everyone wants to win, and no one plays anymore." The reason why the first grade was able to tie with the second grade in the first half was because the second grade didn't take the game seriously at all. ”

After Maddie and Yao Ming talked, Zhang Chu recalled the All-Star Game he had watched on TV, hey, it seems to be like that.

"Look!" Maddie pointed to the court and whispered, "You are new in the first grade, and there is not even a serious point guard among the nine people, just one Famar...... God~ He can actually enter the All-Star Game, you rookies really don't have a decent point guard......"

Seeing Maddie covering her head with a little exaggeratedness, Zhang Chu muttered secretly in his heart: "Actually, the rookies of the class of 06 really have two good point guards---- Lowry and Rondo...... It's just that, according to the original course of history, what opportunities did these two get this year, and they were unknown......"

"You see, in the second grade, Paul and Delon are very good point guards, and even Felton is 10 times better than Famar in the first year. The point guard is the brain of a team, and the sophomore has an interior and an outside, and the lineup is significantly more reasonable. And what about the first grade? There was no point guard, and there were three point guards at once---- Roy, Guy and Morrison...... Oh my God, this lineup, thank God if they don't fight, and they still expect to defeat their opponents? ”

……

I have to say that Maddie, as a superstar, has a very good wisdom and vision, Roy, Gay, and Morrison are all offensive players with the ball, and they all need the ball, and it is difficult for the three to coexist, not to mention, the three are still contenders for Rookie of the Year, and they are in competition with each other, so the sense of cooperation is a little worse......

On the other hand, in the second year, under the leadership of Paul and Delong, the combination of inside and outside played in a disciplined manner, and the reason why the first half was equal to the first grade was purely for the needs of performance.

Now, the style of painting has changed suddenly. By the third quarter, the game had been played for less than five minutes, and the sophomore had already led by 15 points. The first-year rookies were suddenly blinded and quickly called a timeout...... But it didn't work, and at the end of the third quarter, the sophomore had a full 27-point lead!

In fact, when they were less than 20 points behind, the first-grade coaching staff also tried their best to change the lineup and take Zhang Chu up, but the momentum of the second-grade has risen, plus the first-grade side, as Maddie said, lacks a real organizer, and the five people are almost messy, so they can't stop the second-grade scoring momentum.

……

The fourth quarter is about to start, and the first grade is 27 points behind! Zhang Chu looked up at the big screen scorer in the sky and slowly walked towards the court.

This is the All-Star Game of the 06-07 season, and at the moment, this stage is in full view......
