After the NBA officially announced the starting lineup for the 2013 All-Star team, there was immediate speculation about which players would be selected by the coach to make the 14-man bench.

After the tall man managed to occupy a starting spot in the Eastern Conference, Brooklyn Nets fans began to worry about the fate of the team's other two stars, Delon and Lopez.

Because in ESPN's All-Star bench predictions, ESPN doesn't look like Deron Williams and Brook Lopez.

They believe that DeLong, the point guard who made a name for himself with Paul in the early years, is plagued by sluggish crosshairs and a steady stream of injuries and has a real chance of missing the All-Star break.

And the more troubling situation for Deron is that despite Lopez's recent trade rumors, many voices in the industry believe that Brook Lopes is better than Delon Williams.

From the point of view of statistics, Lopez has a statistic that is very amazing: he is second only to the league's top 6 offensive masters in scoring per 40 minutes, namely Anthony, Kobe, Durant, Tall Strong, James and Harden, but because the playing time is limited to less than 30 minutes, Lopez's average of 18 points per game is not impressive.

But Lopez's low rebounding efficiency is his biggest stumbling block, and his chances of winning are not too great.

So the problem arises, after Gao Dazhuang became the All-Star starter in the East, it is possible that one of Delon and Lopez will be able to go to Houston with Gao Dazhuang, or it is possible that both of them will not be selected, but it is impossible for all three of them to appear in the All-Star court at the same time, because the Brooklyn Nets are not good enough to have three All-Star players at the moment.

Unlike Delon and Lopez, they are tall and strong. The "rookie king" doesn't have to worry about being shortlisted at all, on the contrary, during the All-Star period, his tasks are still relatively "heavy".

In the next news, the NBA's official website announced that the list of 18 players who participated in this year's Houston All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge, led by the tall and strong Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers, has been officially released.

Sophomores selected with Irving include: Kenneth Faried of the Nuggets, Brandon Knight of the Pistons, Coy Leonard of the Spurs, Chandler Parsons of the Rockets, Klay Thompson of the Warriors, Tristan Thompson of the Cavaliers, Nikola Ucevic of the Magic, and Kemba Walker of the Bobcats.

The tall and strong first-year students include: Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Davis of the Hornets, Harrison Barnes of the Warriors, Bradley Beal of the Wizards, Andre Drummond of the Pistons, Michael Kidd Gilchrist of the Bobcats, Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller of the Cavaliers.

The Rookie Challenge will continue last year's rules of a mix of first-year and second-year students, with Charles Barkley and O'Neal "Big Shark" O'Neal still coaching Team Chuck and Team Shaq, respectively.

At last year's All-Star Game in Orlando, Kyrie Irving scored a game-high 34 points to not only win the MVP, but also lead Chuck to a 146-133 victory over Shaq.

This year's "Super Rookie King" Gao Dazhuang's performance in the rookie game also attracted the attention of many fans.

……

"Everyone, please pay attention. This public training session lasts 20 minutes. Please don't enter the court without permission, especially beware......" Before the Nets press officer could finish his words, a large number of reporters rushed into the Barclays Center training hall with all kinds of equipment held high.

As the Brooklyn Nets' record gets better and better, so does their popularity. In particular, the Nets have two new signings in today's training session - Korver and Delfino. So an ordinary public training session also attracted dozens of media outlets.

Before the reporters came in. The Nets have been in a nearly two-hour session, and Coach Johnson and his assistant coaches are currently coaching several interior players to attack and defend under the basket, while the outside players are shooting on another court.

Reporters soon discovered that two new "rookies" were playing a "three-point game" with Tall Strong, Wallace, Stackhouse, Brooks, Bogans, and Watson -- shooting three-pointers from beyond the three-point line in a circle. Whoever misses is eliminated.

"When" the first player to go out was the only non-backcourt player, Gerard Wallace, whose shot bounced off the front of the basket, only to see him crouching on the ground very "sadly" and complaining, and trying to beg everyone to give him another chance, but in exchange for "ridicule" from his teammates.

The next to play is the new team Korver, "brush" sound, Korver's shooting posture is very standard, textbook-like movements, after scoring his expression also seems to be at ease, as if he is accustomed to all this, and immediately attracted a wild shot from reporters on the sidelines, tall and strong involuntarily nodded and praised.

Korver was followed by another new signing, Delfino, who didn't disappoint, hitting a clean three-point shot that was just as clean, but his arc was a little lower than Korver's.

Next, Tall Strong, Stackhouse, Brooks, Bogans, and Watson all hit one after another, and I have to say that the basic skills of NBA players are indeed very solid, especially in the absence of defense, the shooting rate is quite impressive.

In the first and second rounds, only one Nets small forward Wallace was eliminated, and the others all hit, but long-range shooting is really not Wallace's strong point.

At the beginning of the third round, Watson missed the first shot, and the veteran Starkerhouse's shot also magically spun around in the basket and slipped out, unfortunately being eliminated.

Everyone hit in the fourth round, Brooks was out in the fifth, and all in the sixth round.

However, in the seventh round, Bogans and Delfino were also out one after another, and only Korver and Tall and Strong were still standing outside the three-point line.

With a "brush", Korver's movements are always so stylized, and the standard movements allow his baskets to hit the basket with unbiased accuracy.

"Da Zhuang, come on. You're the number one here, you can't afford to lose," Delfino said with a smile, coming to a new team, he didn't feel strange, because he thought in his heart that this was a tall and strong team, and he had a close personal relationship with Tall and Strong.

"Yes, if you lose, you'll have to treat all of us to dinner in the evening," Gerard Wallace, who had already been eliminated, quipped.

As soon as Wallace's words were finished, the tall and strong three-point shot had already been shot, and there was a "brush". There is no suspense. Tall and strong three-point shot.

"If I win, how about you treat everyone to a big dinner?" After the goal, Gao Dazhuang also smiled in response to Wallace Road.

"Okay, bet, Kyle. It's up to you," at the instigation of his teammates. Wallace was "forced" to accept the bet.

But Korver didn't disappoint him either. With a "brush", he hit three points again.

Within three seconds of Korver's goal, Gao Dazhuang also immediately returned a goal.

In the ninth round, the two sides hit one after the other again. At this time, the PK between Gao Dazhuang and Korver attracted the attention of more and more reporters, and even Coach Johnson and several interior players of the Nets stopped training and watched the two of them PK from afar.

"Brush", "Brush" ...... In the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth rounds, the two's three-point shots still didn't miss.

Korver's shot was solid, with almost the same movement, force and timing, and after a full jump, he pushed the ball out with lightness, typical of a shooter.

The tall and strong shot was a little faster, and at the moment when the toes just left the ground, the tall and strong ball had already been shot, but in the case of such a fast shot, the tall and strong still ensured that the bullet was not missing.

Seventeen rounds have passed, and the two still haven't decided the winner, which means that Gao Dazhuang and Korver have made 17 three-pointers in a row, although they are unmarked, but it is enough to show that both are quality shooters.

After receiving the ball from Brooks from the baseline, Korver adjusted slightly, jumped, stayed in the air, and shot, and the action was still perfect, but just when everyone thought the basketball would go through the net again.

With a "dang", Korver's shot bounced off the inside of the hoop.

"Oh" The reporters and players on the sidelines immediately let out a sigh, and Korver also grabbed his hair with both hands and shouted pity.

"Hey, it's up to you," Korver, who missed the shot, picked up the bouncing basketball and passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang.

"I won't let you down" Gao Dazhuang smiled, and the victory or defeat was in this move.

Standing outside the three-point line, he slapped the ball and then took a deep breath, quietly glanced at the basket, then bent his knees slightly, and after a pause of 2 or 3 seconds, he pressed his legs with his lower limbs, and his body stretched forward and upward, and the ball was softly thrown out of Gao Dazhuang's hands.

The ball slashed through a beautiful inter-fly basket in the air, and with a "brush" sound, the tall and strong hit 18 three-pointers in a row.

After "admiring" the tall and strong shot, Korver was the first to come over and congratulate, and the other players and reporters on the sidelines also applauded unconsciously.

"Gerald, you've arranged for the night," the tall man yelled at Wallace, who was about to sneak away, and the others who reacted immediately burst into laughter.

……

After the open practice, reporters interviewed the Nets' players.

New goalscorer Korver gave an exclusive interview to the New York Times reporter, "I know you're a very adaptable player, but after all, you've just come to this team, what do you think of this team?" ”

Korver replied with a smile: "My teammates have welcomed me very well from the first day I came, helping me feel more comfortable both off and off the court, these guys are very good at playing basketball, it's easy to play with them, and today's training helped us improve our chemistry."

"We all know you're a very good shooter, especially three-pointers, how many threes do you shoot every day in practice?" The reporter asked.

'It depends, I don't know, there's no definite number, it's just a lot of pitches every day, it's all about preparing for the game, and we have a better goalscorer in the team, unfortunately I just lost to him,' Korver responded.

"Tall and strong?" The reporter said with a smile.

"That's right, in fact, I was taught hard by him when I was still with the Eagles, and he was a good leader, even though he was very young," Korver replied dryly.

"What do you think of the next round opponent, the Bulls?" The reporter asked.

"They were tough defensively, but Brooklyn is a very competitive team and we just need to play our own game and we can win," Korver replied confidently.

Of course, the team's core is tall and strong, which is also the focus of reporters' interviews.

In an interview with reporters, Gao Dazhuang said, "Today's training intensity is very high, first of all, team training, mainly to understand teammates and tactics, and then my own training is because some of my details are not good enough, I need the coach to point out to me, the more we pay today, the more we will get in the future, a game is not good, I will double my training, if I play a good game, I will still practice, because this can continue to improve my own level."
