The All-Star Weekend officially kicked off, and the Rookie Challenge was staged as scheduled, and the final first-year team defeated the second-year team 148-140, which also set two all-time records for the Rookie Challenge, firstly, the first-year team scored 148 points to set a first-year scoring record for the Rookie Challenge, and secondly, the two teams combined to contribute 288 points, which is also the highest score scored by the two teams since the start of the Rookie Game.

This year's Rookie Challenge was a success, and although it lacked defense and hardness, a bunch of rookies played with the feeling of a tiger roaring and a dragon, which was important as an All-Star opening show.

The two teams started the game with each other, especially Cousins of the first-year team and Blair of the second-year team, the two inside players who fought each other in terms of scoring, and the other players also tried their best to complete their true colors, using this challenge as a stage to show their physical limits.

After a short period of adaptation, the two sides were more willing to go deep into the basket to score, the dunk scene was overwhelming, the pace of the game was accelerated, and the offensive efficiency was high, so it was these two reasons that led the rookie game to become a complete offensive battle.

Since the rookie game was held in 1994, there has never been a class that has been so crazy, the first-year team scored an astonishing 148 points in the whole game, setting a zào first-year scoring record for the rookie game, and even for the losing side, the second-year team also scored 140 points, and the two teams combined to contribute 288 points is also unprecedented, this game undoubtedly set two NBA all-time records.

The NBA rookie scoring record came in 2007 when the sophomore team scored a high 155 points, but the first grade team's highest record was only 140 points, and the first grade team scored 140 points at the last Dallas All-Star Game, and now their zào record of 148 points makes all previous performances look a little bleak.

The 288 points combined for the two teams is an unattainable record, with the 2007 Rookie Tournament winning by a 155-114 margin in which the sophomore team combined to score 269 points, and the 2010 Rookie Challenge, where the sophomore and first graders combined for 268 points, and now the 288 points have also made the previous record a floating cloud.

There is no doubt that this rookie competition is the most exciting in history in terms of intensity and performance.

However, some experts questioned the lack of defensive intensity of the game, and Barkley was very dissatisfied, he said during the live broadcast of the game: "If we only look at the offense, then we might as well go to the AND1 tour, the street boys have more fancy ball control and more vigorous dunks, but it is not a real basketball game, the real essence of basketball lies in the confrontation, in the collision of muscles and muscles, in the defense." ”

Barkley is right, but no one cares, the fans just have a good time.

However, most experts agree with Barkley that fans can feel new once they watch this type of game, and if they do it all in the future, they will get tired of it.

The eventual MVP trophy was lifted by John Wall, who scored just 14 points and looked worthless at the court, but with 22 assists, he was the offensive engine of the first-year team.

The 22 assists also broke Chris Paul's record of 17 assists in the 2007 Rookie Challenge.

In fact, the champion show is very good at using his own speed to revitalize the rhythm of the game, to control himself, either to pass to teammates in the gap, or choose to attack by himself, so when the rhythm is brought up, Wall's power can be fully exerted, mobility and the overall situation will be undoubted, and the rookie challenge is just right for his taste.

In this game, Wall played his quick and selfless characteristics to the fullest, and he deliberately created opportunities for his teammates in the game on many occasions, which is why the rookie team was able to fly on the basket frequently.

Both Griffin and Cousins have received a lot of favors from Wall, among which the most classic rebound ball and slam dunk for Lipin is Wall's wedding dress, when everyone else is happy to play offense, Wall chooses to go off the beaten path and help the team in an alternative way.

In contrast, another talented point guard has a lot less aura, and that is Jennings, one of last season's brightest rookies.

Jennings still started last season in the rookie game, but now that time has changed, he has been reduced to a bench when he steps back on the rookie game, and the limelight has been stolen by Griffin, Kusins, Blair, DeRozan and even James Harden.

An All-Star is a big show, whether it's a rookie game or an All-Star game, Jennings, as an old bird, he knows it.

Jennings didn't get the weird haircut he had last season at the All-Star Game, and there were no NBA official website or ESPN reporters to follow him for interviews, so he didn't show off the bench after he came off the bench.

Injuries became Jennings' nightmare, otherwise he would have been the protagonist today. If Jennings has last year's form, why should he care so much about assists on the All-Star show? Jennings has the ability to dunk, but his favorite in his usual games seems to be the three-pointer.

It's fun to dunk in the All-Star Game, but if you can keep throwing in threes, isn't that also pleasing to the eye? It's a pity that Jennings is no longer the main force now, and he doesn't have so many opportunities to shoot, so he can only choose to keep a low profile and choose to hide behind the scenes.

Chamberlain, who was the assistant coach of the winning side after the game, was the focus of the interview, and when referring to Wall, he said: "Wall is a talented point guard, he did a great job, I can't believe it's the first time he's playing an All-Star game, few people are as open as he is, and he's such a leader, the first-year team can win, he's a meritorious, there's no doubt that this young man has a bright future." Although the sky is already full of people, I still have to say that only the sky is his limit! ”

Speaking of his new teammate Paul George, Chamberlain smiled: "Paul was a little depressed today, his strongest is defense, but today the fans don't want to see defense, so he can only sacrifice himself. And that's a great thing, if everyone had Paul's spirit of sacrifice, it would be even more exciting today! I'm very proud of Paul, and today's game didn't belong to him, but sooner or later he's going to be an All-Star, and that's when his time will come. ”

On February 19, the second day of the NBA's 2011 All-Star Weekend, the first event to begin was the Shooting Stars Contest.

The four teams participating in the Shooting Stars Contest this time are Texas United consisting of Dirk Nowitzki, Kenny Smith and Ronica Hodge, the City of Angels team consisting of Pau Gasol, Rick Fox and Tim Thomson, the Atlanta team consisting of Al Horford, Steve Smith and Kirk Miller, and the Oakland team - the Warriors as hosts who obviously did not want to miss out on such a great opportunity.

Shooting Stars requires a player to be a current NBA player, a retired NBA player, and a WNBA player, and the Warriors field a strong lineup with Grant Hill, Rick Barry, and Katrini Kravid.

Atlanta took too much time to get on the court and suffered a setback on the fourth point, but in the end Horford surprisingly hit a long-range three-pointer from the midline to 47. 6 seconds.

The hosts were the hosts, who were on the first five points but wasted too much time on the final point, and by the time former sharpshooter Barry finally hit the final shot from the halfway line, the team had accumulated 1 minute and 6 seconds.

This made the fans very regretful, Oxlade-Chamberlain also smiled and shook his head off the field, according to experience, the Auckland team, which originally wanted to win the championship, was going to be eliminated this time.

Los Angeles came up with problems at the fifth point, with Fox missing consecutive three-pointers and missing some time. However, Fox then made up for it in the ultra-long-range three-point game, which took the team a total of 55 minutes. 8 seconds.

The last to come out was Texas United, where Nowitzki wasted a bit of time on a two-shot shot in the second, but the rest of the team went well.

Veteran star Smith sparked exclamations and applause from the audience when he hit the first shot in the ultra-long range, and the team spent just 31 hours in total. 8 seconds.

In this way, Texas United, the defending champions, entered the final with the second-best Atlanta.

In the final, Atalanta took the lead, and it took a lot of time for them to look nervous in the first few points, and it took too much time for all three to feel bad in the three-point section of the halfway line. Eventually, Horford made another comeback when he hit a three-pointer with 1:10 left to go and end the tournament with the shooting star of the tournament.

Texas United hit all of the first two points and the next three points were relatively smooth, and the team spent about 30 seconds on the first five points. However, in the final halfway line ultra-long shots, Texas United repeatedly missed, and they eventually lost to Atlanta and failed to defend their title.

The Shooting Star Contest is over, and more exciting individual events are staged, followed by a skills challenge.

This game is also related to the Warriors, because Curry is involved in this event.

Last season, it was West who won the Skills Challenge, this time he didn't participate, he had to prepare for the All-Star Game, Curry wanted to try, and he was a two-way guard, and after being invited by the league, he happily agreed to participate.

Although Curry is the most popular in the hearts of fans at the scene, the favorites to win the championship are not him, but Paul and Rose, and even Wall, who has just won the All-Star Rookie Challenge, has a better chance of winning than Curry.

Curry gives fans the impression of cute and pretty face and lightning-fast marksmanship, and his ball-handling ability seems to be mediocre, after all, he has never relied on break-through to eat in a game.

Paul was handpicked by Stern, Westbrook and Rose were both second-time players in the Skills Challenge, and Curry and Wall were newcomers, so it seems that Curry really doesn't have much of a chance.

This time, the players came out in the format of a football game, and each of them held a beautiful little girl in their hands.

The most dazzling is Curry, because what he is holding in his hand is the goddess of American teenagers, Shirley!

Curry was the first to appear in the preliminaries, Chamberlain and others high-fived him, and Shirley finally sent a blessed kiss on his forehead, which made the male fans in the audience crazy.

After coming on the court, Curry was very calm, he always had a handsome and confident faint smile on his face, and then it took 34 minutes. Completed the level in 1 second.

Westbrook then came on with 30 seconds to play. Then there was Wall, who had just dished out 22 assists in his rookie game, but the champion seemed to be a little out of speed, making mistakes in shooting and passing, and finally had a time of 39. 3 seconds.

The fourth to appear was the previous year's champion Rose, who had been eliminated after 35 seconds.

As soon as Paul came on the court, there was a problem, and he didn't even hit the layup, which caused laughter from the audience. In the end, Paul took 43 seconds to get it done, and he was at the bottom of the table, and finally Curry and Westbrook entered the finals respectively.

Curry and Westbrook reached the finals, which means that the skills challenge will produce a new champion, because the host team of the previous shooting star tournament played inaccurately and did not win the championship, all the local fans were full of expectations for Curry, and when he played, the fans in the stadium held their breath.

Curry was the first to play, and he was very fast, almost all at once, without any turnovers, and ended up with only 28. Complete all items in 2 seconds.

Westbrook came on next, but he was clearly slower than Curry and struggled with a passing and mid-range shot in 44 minutes. 2 seconds.
