The 2018 All-Star Game's first appetizer Rookie Challenge was the first to be released, in addition to inviting some of the first- and second-year rookies to divide into the U.S. team and the international team, it also specially invited a retired U.S. star and an international retired star to serve as the team leader and interim coach of the two teams.

The leader of the American team is led by the legendary Lakers superstar "Magic" Kevin Johnson, as the All-Star Game held in Los Angeles, Johnson who was invited readily accepted the invitation, and the leader of the international team is also a great point guard, he is the player from Canada "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash!

Both are All-Star-caliber point guards, great Hall of Famers, and certainly more comfortable with the coaching position than the average player in directing the team's game and tactical variety.

Both interim coaches were pleased with the rookies invited by the league, with Johnson starting the U.S. team as follows:

Center: Harry Giles, 2.08m;

Power forward: Ben Simmons, 2.08m;

Small forward: Brandon Ingram, 2.06m;

Shooting guard: Josh Jackson, 2.03m;

Defender: Chris Dunn, 1.93m.

The maximum height of the U.S. starting lineup is only 2.08 meters, and in fact, 2.08 meters is the highest height of the entire U.S. rookie team. Among the rookies in recent years, the United States has produced more flexible and mobile power forwards, but the traditional center is increasingly lacking, and teams in the league have to focus more on international players in order to supplement the interior height.

The opposite of the U.S. team is the sheer height of the international team, with four players over 2.15 meters tall, which gives the international team an absolute theoretical advantage in defense and rebounding. Nash's starting lineup for the International team was:

Center: Elseg, 2.15m;

Power forward: Xu Zhibin, 2.08m;

Small forward: Ye Hai, 2.01m;

Shooting guard: Neil, 2.03m;

Organizational defender: Cha Yicheng, 1.91m.

Although Elsegg did not return until a few weeks before the All-Star break due to an injury in the preseason, his ability to return to the league earned him an invitation to the league and was favored by Nash to qualify directly for the international team. The emergence of 3 Chinese players in the international rookie team also drew people's attention to the fact that Chinese basketball has risen in the past 2 years!

During this All-Star Game, as Ye Hai's girlfriend, Danielle also came to the scene, although Ye Hai and Danielle are already official boyfriend and girlfriend, but the two get together less and leave more, as Ye Hai's reputation continues to increase, there are more and more women who talk to Ye Hai on various occasions and have special purposes to approach Ye Hai, although Ye Hai has always adhered to himself and is not moved at all, but as time goes by, Danielle will inevitably have some doubts and questions about Ye Hai.

Danielle found that Ye Hai was smiling less and less at her, and her suspicion was getting bigger and bigger. Although Danielle has noticed the subtle changes in the relationship between the two, whenever she is with Ye Hai, Danielle still can't help but check Ye Hai's mobile phone or inquire about Ye Hai's recent communication, which also makes Ye Hai distressed.

As Ye Hai's girlfriend, he naturally got the ticket closest to the sidelines of the rookie challenge, and when he saw Ye Hai become the starter of the international rookie team, Danielle's heart was still full of pride, this boy who was alive in bed could also charge on the court, any woman would be attracted to a man who exudes hormones, and Danielle is no exception!

Before the game, Johnson teased Nash that his players could bring down their big men just by running on the field, and Nash responded that their players could defend successfully while lying on the ground!

After the start of the game, both sides began to show off all kinds of tricks on the field, because most of this kind of game is of a showy nature, so the players did not defend much, but the excited Elsegg still gave Harry Giles and Brandon Ingram a big hat each at the beginning, showing their strong bounce and blocking ability!

The starter Ye Hai used the "street basketball" moves he learned, and brought the atmosphere of the game to the peak as soon as he started, with the dizzying moves such as "Dapeng spreading his wings", "rolling dragon", "boomerang", "moon step" and so on, the fans present opened their eyes one after another, and did not skimp on their applause and screams, and gave the support to Ye Hai who showed off himself on the court.

In a fast attack of the international rookie team, three Chinese players, Che Yicheng, Ye Hai and Xu Zhibin, played a fast attack at the same time, facing the retreat of three players of the American team, and the three showed an extraordinary tacit understanding!

Cha Yicheng used his speed to quickly break through Buddy Hield, who was defending himself, and after attracting Ben Simmons' supplementary defense, he threw the ball in the direction of Ye Hai, who jumped up and received Cha Yicheng's pass in the air.

The last person to retreat from the American rookie team was Harry Jars, when he saw Cha Yicheng pass the ball to Ye Hai, he immediately jumped up and prepared to block in the air, even if it was a rookie game, but with the past of the World Youth Championship finals, Giles had no reservations, all he wanted was to block Ye Hai's empty connection!

But when Ye Hai blocked Giles in the air, he passed the ball directly to the other side in the air, and the new "wolf king" Xu Zhibin of the Timberwolves received the ball with both hands and gave a wonderful air catch and strong two-handed slam dunk!

The cooperation of the three Chinese rookies was smooth and smooth, which not only made Johnson and Nash, who were watching the game on the sidelines, praise, but also made the fans watching the live broadcast in China ecstatic!

"Chinese basketball has stood up since then!"

"Don't use the same set of Chinese football, basketball has already stood up, and now it can finally take off!"

"Get on the plane, get on the plane, the old pilot flies the plane, and it doesn't wait for the expiration date!"

Seeing that Chinese players can play so brilliantly on the NBA stage, Chinese basketball fans are also in a good mood to ridicule!

After the slam dunk, Xu Zhibin excitedly made a sound of "ahhh

"I feel like this rookie game is completely a show of the international team, no, to be exact, it is those Chinese kids!" At the end of the first quarter, the wonderful performances of Ye Hai, Cha Yicheng and Xu Zhibin left a deep impression on Johnson and Nash.

However, this idea has just ended, and with a "bang", rookie Liu Hao, who came off the bench in the second quarter, hit a long-distance hollow three-pointer!

"The Chinese team will replace the Spanish team and become the future rival of the U.S. men's basketball team in the world!" Although it was only a rookie game, Johnson seemed to have smelled a hint of crisis.

In the first three quarters of the show-based game, every player had a good performance and wonderful shots.

In the final fourth quarter, both teams began to use real efforts, and at this time, the interior of the international rookie team began to play to its advantage, and four players from Elsegger, Dragan Bender, Jacob Paltel, and Thornmaker took turns to play, stirring up the interior of the American rookie team.

Although at the beginning, the American players could still use their explosive power to barely compete with the opponent in the air, but as the game progressed, the international team gradually controlled the air supremacy, which can be seen from the number of rebounds of the two teams in the fourth quarter, the number of rebounds in the fourth quarter of the international team was 22, and the offensive rebounds were 10, and the American team only had 11 rebounds in the fourth quarter, which was only half of the rebounds of the international team!

With this huge disadvantage in rebounding, it was impossible to win, and with Sabonis Jr.'s missed three-point attempt, the game was over, and the international rookie team beat the American rookie team 136-113!

Ye Hai only played in 2 quarters and was elected MVP of the Rookie Challenge with 29 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists! This MVP is well deserved! When Ye Hai held the MVP high, all the players, including Ben Simmons and Josh Jackson, were also applauding Ye Hai. Here, strength is everything, and everything else aside, as long as your basketball skills live up to your name, you'll earn respect here!

Just when the spotlight of the media kept flickering in front of him, Ye Hai suddenly saw the figure of Kim Na-hyun in the audience near the sidelines!

At the first moment when the media took pictures, facing Danielle who came to congratulate her, Ye Hai unconsciously put the trophy in his hand into Danielle's hand and chased in the direction of Kim Naxian's departure! (To be continued.) )
