The All-Star Weekend featured three nights of games, with the NBA Rookie Game on the first day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The game system before the INFO Rookie Game was that the first and second graders were divided into groups, because it was often the sophomore team who won the game, and a lot of fun was lost, and the league adopted a new approach in recent years, that is, two well-known stars led the team, and the first and second graders were disrupted to join the two teams.

This year's pattern is still the same, with retired stars Chris Webber and Grande Hill leading the team.

Li Yang was assigned to the Hill team, along with Anthony Davis of the Pelicans, McCarvey of the 76ers, Hardaway Jr. of the Knicks, Trey Burke of the Jazz, Kelly Olynyk and Jarred Sullinger of the Celtics, as well as Mason Plumlee of the Nets and Vidocq Oladipo of the Magic.

The Webber team has Damian Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Bradley Beal of the Wizards, Andre Drummond of the Pistons, Harrison Barnes of the Warriors, Terence Jones of the Rockets, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Younas Valance of the Raptors, Dion Witters of the Cavaliers, and Steven Adams of the Thunder.

While the Rookie Challenge didn't get as much attention as the All-Star Game, it was an All-Star Weekend, and by the time the young players from both teams warmed up for the game, the crowd was packed.

Not only the fans, but also many NBA players who came to the All-Star Weekend to watch the game.

When the starters of both teams walked onto the field, there was an immediate burst of cheers.

On the Hill side, Davis and Li Yang are naturally the starters, the other starting interior is Celtic's Olenik, and the two guards are Oladeep and McCarvey.

On the Webb side, Lillard is the leader, alongside Valanciunas, Drummond, Harrison Barnes and Bradley Beal.

"Anthony, you've got a lot of your fans here today. While walking towards the court, Li Yang said to Davis next to him, in addition to playing the rookie game, the two are also All-Stars, so it is naturally easier to get together.

Davis immediately smiled and said, "Of course, this is my home field. ”

When he was about to step on the court, Davis gently pulled Li Yang and said, "Yang, promise me one thing, don't have reservations in the game, help me kill them, I want to win the MVP." ”

Davis really wants to get the MVP of this rookie game, as he just said to Li Yang, this is his home court, although he has to participate in the All-Star Game in addition to the rookie game, but obviously, on a stage like the All-Star Game, it is difficult for him to have too bright performances as a rookie.

Therefore, the MVP of the rookie game has become the most likely honor for Davis, and if he doesn't want to go out of his All-Star trip, he will need to do his best to win this trophy.

Of course, Davis also knows that in order to win this trophy, he first needs to win the game, and this requires the cooperation of his teammates.

After hearing Davis's words, Li Yang immediately understood the other party's thoughts, he smiled and patted the other party's arm and said: "Of course no problem, this is your home court, this trophy should belong to you, we play more blocking and dismantling cooperation, you find an opportunity to cut into the basket or pull to the empty position to receive the ball and attack." ”

Hearing Li Yang's words, Davis was naturally full of joy and kept nodding.

Davis and Drummond jumped the ball, and Davis, who was playing at home, was obviously very excited from the start, and he won Drummond when he jumped the ball.

McCarvey, the best point guard in this rookie, got the basketball, but after dribbling to halfcourt, he sent the ball to Li Yang, who beckoned for the ball.

Although McCarvey was the best player in this rookie, and even the media predicted that he had already locked up the Rookie of the Year title, he was only a first-year player after all, and he was not a top pick, so he didn't have much recklessness

And Li Yang is famous in the league this season, and he is still an All-Star starter, so it is naturally impossible for McCarvey to grab the ball with Li Yang. What's more, he also heard Li Yang's previous chat with Anthony Davis.

Li Yang took the ball, but he didn't plan to attack by himself, this is Davis's home field, and he just promised Davis to help the other party get the MVP trophy, and this first ball is naturally handed over to the other party to show off.

Li Yang, who took the ball, threw a look at Davis, and then began to break through with the ball.

Standing in front of Li Yang is the Warriors' Harrison Barnes, even in the official game, if Li Yang is bent on breaking through, it will be difficult for Barnes to stop him, not to mention that in the rookie game at this time, Barnes has not yet entered the state of defense at all.

Li Yang accelerated with the ball, and directly broke through from Barnes and rushed to the basket.

Seeing Li Yang rushing into the basket, Drummond moved his feet to block it, of course, this was just the beginning of the game after all, and Drummond's defense was not very active, and he did not completely block Li Yang's breakthrough route.

If Li Yang wants to attack, he can easily rush into the basket, but at this moment he naturally does not have this idea, after attracting Drummond's attention, the ball in Li Yang's hand is directly thrown up and thrown in the direction of the basket.

"Bang!" Anthony Davis waited for this moment early, and he jumped up to take Li Yang's pass in time to catch the ball!

"Coax!" The first goal after the opening was so beautiful, which naturally attracted the excitement of the fans at the scene.

"Hey Chris, look at my players, it's a great fit. Sitting on the sidelines, Hill immediately laughed and shouted at Webber on the side.

Although the two are responsible for coaching, they will not arrange tactics on the sidelines in such a game, and the two will sit directly on the commentary bench to explain the game.

After hearing Hill's words, Webber was naturally very unconvinced and said: "Grant, it's just because in New Orleans, my players are courteous to Anthony Davis. ”

"Oh, is it?" asked Hill in a skeptical tone, and Webber immediately retorted, and the two continued to argue.

"Yang, pass beautifully!" And on the court, Anthony Davis found Li Yang to high-five him as soon as he retreated after completing an empty dunk with Li Yang, and the first cooperation between the two played so well, which made Davis full of confidence in the future. (To be continued.) )
