In the Rookie Challenge, O'Neal's starting five were Lillard, Irving, Klay Thompson, Parsons and Zeller.

The Barkley five-man team is: Rubio, Beal, Sun Xiaotian, Leonard and Anthony. Davis.

O'Neal stars Irving and Lillard, while Barkley stars Davis and Sun Xiaotian.

Of course, it is still unknown who will emerge from this competition and win the MVP. From the point of view of fame, O'Neal's Irving and Lillard, Barkley's Anthony Davis and Sun Xiaotian, but like Irving and Sun Xiaotian have to participate in the main tournament and other individual events, it is still doubtful how long this game can be played. And there has always been no shortage of dark horses in the rookie game, and whether Parsons, who is playing at home, can stand out is also suspenseful, no one can say.

This year's All-Star Weekend was held in Houston, and Parsons, who played for the Rockets, had home-court advantage. This season's progress is obvious and the popularity is also very high, and this time it is playing at home again, which can be said to have the right time and place, depending on the personal form in the game and whether the teammates are successful. There is a precedent for a home player to win the MVP of the rookie game, and in the 2005 rookie game in Denver, Anthony, who was playing for the Nuggets, scored 31 points and was named MVP. In that game, James and other teammates deliberately cooperated to contribute to the home honor of "Melon".

……

Once the game began, Barkley took the lead.

The Ruby crossed the halfway line and handed the ball to Anthony. Davis, Davis hoisted to Leonard, who received the ball and dunked it with both hands, taking the lead to score two points.

It was Parsons who opened the scoring for O'Neal, who also responded with a dunk. When Owen burst into the hinterland of the opponent's penalty area with a series of turns, seeing that he was surrounded by the Barkley team, Parsons, who was looking for a record on the outside, got rid of Leonard's marking, and the air contained the free throw line, Irving's wrist flicked, and the ball went from Davis's armpit to Parsons's hand, and Parsons immediately spread his wings.

The Barkley team has Rubio's running ball, and these buddies who are not usually familiar with each other are much easier to work with. For a period of time, Rubio and Davis's blocking and dismantling worked frequently, and Davis hit two difficult air catches in a row, which instantly mobilized the atmosphere of the scene, and the Barkley team also took advantage of the situation to open up the score gap with O'Neal's team.

14 to 5!!

Sun Xiaotian still looked nervous, but as the game deepened, Sun Xiaotian first found a feeling from the outside.

When O'Neal's team relied on Thompson and Irving's three-pointers to close the score, Sun Xiaotian came to feel it, and three consecutive goals opened the score away......

First, he received Rubio's breakaway ball, faced Thompson's defense in the bottom corner, and fell with his hand. followed by a top arc jumper in the middle of the fast break, and the third goal was even more "cool".

Near the middle of the game, Lillard of O'Neal's team missed a three-point shot, Sun Xiaotian grabbed the rebound and advanced with the ball himself.

After all, it's just a performance game, both sides have no real defense, Sun Xiaotian has two consecutive back-to-back cross dribbles, past Owen and Parsons, Sun Xiaotian fixed his eyes, I'm here! The middle door is wide open, one accelerates, one step over the free throw line, grabs the ball with one hand, and soars into the air.

When he took off, Sun Xiaotian turned 360 degrees, picked up the ball with both hands, and swung it to the back of his head.

"Boom!"

A heavy buckle with a strong slam in the face!!

After falling, Sun Xiaotian had one hand, and the whole king descended to earth.

Barkley was also climaxed by Sun Xiaotian's button, jumping around and shouting at O'Neal!

"Shaq! Sark! Did you see that? You've been abused! You can't stop him on the field! ”

O'Neill struck a pose to wipe his sweat.

Barkley took advantage of the situation to blossom and stretch the gap to 14 points.

By the time Sun Xiaotian was substituted, he was already 5 of 5, and he scored 13 points alone.

The two teams changed players one after another, all of them came off the bench, and I originally thought that the two young talents, Knight and Walker, would make some kind of sparks in the game, but I didn't expect to kill Faried halfway.

When Faried came on the court, it was a dunk and a rebound, and it felt like he was playing this game as a playoff game, and his commitment was more than 100 percent. In eight minutes of playing time, he scored 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting, and eight of his nine goals were dunks.

As the No. 22 pick in the first round in 2011, he was considered "Rodman" 2.0 when he first entered the league, and although Faried, who played as a power forward, was only 2.03 meters tall, he was already famous in college, and during his time in school, he even broke the NCAA personal rebounding record held by Tim Duncan.

As it turned out, the Nuggets had a unique eye, and after a brief period of adaptation, Faried gradually became the Nuggets' starting power forward as Nene Hilario was traded to the Washington Wizards.

Faried lived up to the head coach's trust, and soon after he took the starter, he scored a game-high 27 points and 17 rebounds in the regular season against the Warriors. In addition to his excellent stats, Faried's style of play is tough and spectacular, and he is one of the few players in the league who dares to use blocks to go toe-to-toe with Blake Griffin, a performance that has cemented his position as the Nuggets' starting power forward.

Faried's rise was also one of the reasons the Nuggets made the playoffs last season. Although the Nuggets eventually lost in the first round of the playoffs against the Lakers, Faried's performance in the series was amazing, not only did he not fall behind in the confrontation with Gasol, but also contributed excellent statistics of "double-doubles" per game in points and rebounds, which can be described as a battle.

The 23-year-old has a bright future ahead of his rookie season in the playoffs, which has earned him more and more praise and favor, and even associated his name with Dennis Rodman by fans and media.

As the score got bigger and bigger, Sun Xiaotian didn't play in the first half, but this did not affect the Barkley team to lead O'Neal's team by as many as 20 points 81-61 -

At halftime, O'Neal started the treasure time!

"Guys! We lost so badly, if the offense doesn't improve in the second half, I'll **** you all! ”

"Damien, be ruthless in the second half! The audience is waiting to see you and Sun's bullfight! Otherwise, I'll put you on a bench. ”

Lillard smiled and told O'Neal, "Sun is my brother, there's no need for this, right?" ”

Although he didn't mention it, Lillard already regarded Sun Xiaotian as a lifelong enemy, and he was thinking that he might have to do something in the second half.
