The All-Star Rookie Game is the appetizer of the entire All-Star Weekend and the beginning of the entire All-Star Weekend.

Even so, there were still very few people who came to watch the game, and most of the tickets were given away for free, so that people came to watch the game. Even so, the players are happy.

Especially if they are chosen, it means they have a certain place in the hearts of the coaches (or they have a good popularity). But you rarely see the same player in two rookie games, because they both have the right to say no, and very few players are willing to play in two rookie games, except of course for some players who want to brush up on stats or compete for fame (e.g., players like Kenyon Martin, Odom).

Okay, let's talk about the players this time.

The sophomores are like this: Byron Davis, the "Queen Bee" who has not yet grown up; Richard Hamilton, the future "mid-pitcher king" who played at home and had a poor record but performed well personally; The bounce is amazing, the speed is flying, and the consciousness is excellent. Star-picking rebounds, erratic runs, and ghostly appearances in various positions on the basketball court. The nickname "TheMatrix" for his eccentric and uncurrent 38-style shooting comes from Sean Marion of the Phoenix Suns; Quentin Richardson, the "three-point king" who has a good defense and outstanding three-point shooting; "Jet Fighter" Jason Terry; The assists are good, the three-point is super bad, the defense is first-class among point guards, and in general, it is a bit of a "weakened version" of Jason Kidd, because it looks like Karen Mok, so there is also a "little Karen Mok" (

Of course, this is the affectionate name of Chinese fans for Miller, known as Andre Miller; With all-round skills, the team sees him as the core nickname of the future

Ramar Odom of "The Magician of the Left Hand". The last to appear, of course, is the main character. White scorer Wally Szczebiak from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

As for the first-year side, with the exception of our pig's foot Luke and his younger brother Reed, who squeezed out two unknown minor characters, Martin Cliffs and Khaled Amin, the rest of the players were like this: Kenyon Martin, who has a grudge against Luke; Mike Miller, who mixed well with the Magic and was the team's No. 2 scorer; "KG II" Darryls Miles; Mark Jackson, a center who is not tall but has good scoring ability and defensive ability. The standard swingman has long played the role of "jack-of-all-trades" within the Raptors, a good scorer, a mid-to-long range shot, especially a three-point ability, and a lesser-known excellent defensive player in the league; Speaking of which, we have to talk about his college teammate Martin Cliffs, who was twice named the best player in the 10th Division in the NCAA, was named to the All-American team three times, and led the University of Michigan to win one NCAA championship. At the time, he was the league's hottest rookie point guard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the 14th pick in the first round. But in the Detroit Pistons, Martin Cliffs was a backup to Chaggie Atkins and only had 5.4 points and 2.7 assists in his rookie season, which is very bad for a rookie. This had a very big impact on his subsequent career. However, he only scored so many points that he almost became a member of the rookie All-Star game, but was squeezed out by Luke and Reed.

Of course, there is one last important character who appears, this time introducing Stephen Jackson in the first grade.

Stephen was not well educated since he was a child, and his academic performance was very poor, but he knew that education was an important part of the way his hometown was to escape poverty. So, at his own expense, he built an academy here that bears his name. Local children can enjoy a systematic education from kindergarten to elementary school graduation.

The Bible can give Stephen a revelation, but it can't change his origins. In Porter Arthur, a city with a high crime rate, righteousness is sometimes more effective than law. Jackson remembers when he and his teammate Washington walked 5 miles to play in a park when he was in high school; After losing one round, they asked to play another round, only to be rejected by their opponents. The two sides began to quarrel, and several local brat began to besiege Washington, and Stephen, of course, did not stand idly by, and he bravely joined the fight.

As you can imagine, the two of them returned home covered in bruises, but they had pride on their faces. Back in the back of the Auburn Hills incident, Stephen was able to rush to the stands and beat the fans for Artest, it was just his instinctive reaction. "I learned how to be human in a place where I grew up," he said, "and I still go out with my friends, and if we go out together, we will definitely leave together." I couldn't do anything when I saw my brother in trouble and ignored him. Come along; Walking together, this is my philosophy of survival. It was this dedication to friendship that made Jackson once carry nine horses by his side after entering the NBA, all of whom were his hair small. These nine guys eat him, wear him, and live by him.

Jackson's righteous personality made him a lot of friends in the NBA. Last summer, when Stephen and his girlfriend Melissa held their wedding, Marbury, Bibby, Rose and other friends in the circle were all present. In Game 4 of the playoffs between the Warriors and Mavericks on April 30 this year, Artest also flew to Oakland to watch his old friend's game. Being able to make so many good friends in the league makes Stephen already feel satisfied. For him, he doesn't care what others think, the opinions of the people around him are the most important.

But he's not living very well now. In 1997, although Stephen Jackson was selected by the Suns in the second round, he was not guaranteed and was quickly abandoned by the NBA. After that, he played in the CBA for a while, and then moved to Australia, Venezuela, Dominica and other leagues to earn a living, and after years of experience, he was able to return to the NBA. In the 2000-2001 season, the Nets gave him a chance. And put him in the starting lineup. Now he is still mixed in the rookie All-Star Game, but it doesn't take long for him to be abandoned by the Nets and become a person that no one wants.

But I don't care about it now, because the game is about to start.

In this kind of game, the league generally does not bring additional coaches, generally speaking, those NBA celebrities, veteran players or something come to be coaches, and this sophomore here is Shaquille O'Neal, who is an All-Star this year and does not have much of a task. This year he was injured and couldn't play, and the league let him play "residual heat".

Of course, the first-year side is O'Neill's lifelong enemy, Sir Charles Buckley.
