Chapter 45 Rookie Competition
There are still a lot of highlights in the events of this year's All-Star Weekend, although many superstars did not participate in the slam dunk contest, such as Kobe, James and others, which is definitely a pity for many fans.
Although there are not many superstars participating in the slam dunk contest, there is also a superstar in this year's slam dunk contest. Dwight Howard, the head star of the Magic, is undoubtedly a superstar. He is also the starting center of the Eastern All-Stars this year. Not surprisingly, he will be the starting center of the All-Stars in the next few years. The first starter that can't be hit by lightning.
Howard is a tall man, and on the contrary, there is a very short defender to participate in this year's slam dunk contest, that is, Nate Robinson, known as Little Potato. He also participated last year, but he lost to Howard in the end, and whether Howard can successfully defend his title this year and whether Little Potato can block Howard. There is no doubt that this is a point of view.
In addition to the slam dunk competition, the attention of the three-point competition is also good, and this year's three-point competition is very lively. Why is it lively? Because there are many superstars participating in this year's three-point competition, unlike the slam dunk, the three-point competition is soft and without any violence. In this way, the probability of injury is also very small, so there are many superstars participating, which is not surprising.
There are still six players participating in the three-point competition this year, namely: Raptors defender Capono, Mavericks' Noviski, Celtics Ray Allen, Pierce, Eagles' Bibi, and the last one is Kevin Durant, the star of the Thunder last year. ( Naturally, this is not the case in reality. If the novel needs it, don't take it seriously.)
Why did Mavericks' Noviski participate in such a boring and meaningless three-point competition? Although he is a power forward, he has three points, and the shooting rate of empty three-pointers is still very good. The reason why he wants to participate is to prevent Capono from winning three consecutive championships.
Ray Allen participated because he thought that he had not participated in the three-point competition for a long time. Many people forgot that he was also the champion of the three-point competition. Among these six people, Ray Allen ranked first in the three-point shooting rate.
Why did Durant participate? In his words, since it's an all-star weekend, isn't it sorry for all-stars if it's not fun, so he decided to participate, and his task in the team is three points. Durant's skills in shooting are still very deep, and in addition to this three-point competition, Durant was naturally selected into the second-year team of the rookie competition.
Due to the reimbursement of last year's injury season, Oden was selected for the first-year lineup this year. The battle between the top scorer and the list is undoubtedly one of the meaningless highlights.
And the lineup of the second grade this year can be said to be very weak. Except for Durant, everything else is really not good, such as Scola and Moon. They are not young, but they are only in the second grade.
And the first grade is different. The lineup is very powerful, and the second grade can't be compared with it at all. The main lineup of the first grade: Huang Jun, Ross, Beasley, Oden, Carrefour and others. This lineup is very young and all geniuses. Carrefour also showed the strength of his No. 5 show, not a smuth. As for Oden, no one will say that he is a smugger. After more than 50 games this season, Oden has not suffered any injuries. He can get 15 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks per game. The data doesn't look good, but such data is completed in a limited time.
Oden's injuries in the previous life were too frequent, but I don't know if it was the butterfly effect after Huang Jun came. Many things have not continued according to the trajectory of history, completely changing history. Naturally, Huang Jun didn't know about all this. Of course, no one else would know about it. It can be said that there was no one else except the fallen leaves.
Beasley's performance this season is also excellent. Although his ranking was robbed by Huang Jun, his days in the Timberwolves are still very "happy", because he is the absolute core of this team. No one can threaten his position. In this team, he has unlimited right to fire. If he join the heat In the case of fire or knight, it is absolutely impossible for him to be treated like this.
In addition to the rookie game, there are also skill games and shooting stars. However, there is nothing to see in terms of skills, because its lineup is very bleak. If there are no stars to join, it will be bleak, and there are not many people paying attention to it.
The All-Star Game is the real show, and this is the real theme of the All-Star weekend. In recent years, the West has won more and lost less. Although the competition among the western teams is very fierce, there are also many excellent players.
This year's All-Star bench also came out a few days ago, in the east: Rundo, Pierce, Ray Allen, Wade, Granger, Lewis and Chris Ports. West side: O'Neal, Nowitzki, Brandon Roy, Anthony, Paul Gasol, Billups.
The lineup of the West is undoubtedly the most powerful. Many of them who should be in the All-Stars have not entered, because there are not enough places, so the record of the West in recent years is very good, winning more and losing less.
The first start of the All-Star weekend is the rookie game. This year's rookie game has a lot of highlights due to the joining of Huang Jun and Ross. What kind of sparks will happen to the backcourt combination of Ross and Huang Jun, the tacit understanding between Oden and Huang Jun, and the competition between Oden and Durant.
Although there is no direct match between the two, there are still some highlights. In this game, the two can also prove who is the real champion. Now Durant has gradually improved, and the progress is not one or two points. The progress is very big, completely beyond everyone's expectations, even if Du was chosen at the beginning. Rand's Thunder didn't expect to make progress so fast.
In this rookie game, many NBA superstars came here to cheer for the members of their respective teams. For example, James, who is on the same team as Huang Jun, also came to the scene to cheer for Huang Jun. And the superstars who have no players to participate in the rookie game have also come, such as Kobe of the Lakers and the three giants of the Celtics have arrived.
At this time, James and Wade were sitting together. James looked at Wade sitting next to him and said with a smile, "Wade, I didn't expect Huang Jun's progress to be so great. Now it seems that you didn't expect it, and I didn't expect it either. You must now regret that you didn't ask the team to choose him but traded the draft to us.
James is not a problem, but affirmed. Obviously, he thinks that Wade must regret it, because Huang Jun got his first place in the first season, with regret or hatred.
Although Wade knew that James was not hitting himself or making fun of himself, he couldn't help but be angry, because what the other party said happened to be the truth, and it was also his biggest regret. The biggest regret was that he did not receive Huang Jun's team and gave it to his rival Cavaliers. Now it's all right, Huang Jun is The knight was so popular that he gritted his teeth with hatred when he looked at Wade.
"James, you don't even know how much I regret now. I didn't expect that the original kindness has become today's tragedy." Wade said helplessly.
After listening to Wade's words, James smiled and didn't say anything. Although Wade had a chance to get Huang Jun at the beginning, if it hadn't been for his carelessness, how could the other party have a chance? After all, he still had to blame his own carelessness.
The rookie game will start soon, and the players on both sides are ready to jump the ball.
The starting lineup of the rookie game is as follows: point guard Huang Jun, shooting guard Ross, small forward Michael Beasley, power forward Mark Gasol, and center Oden.
Second-grade lineup: Starky, Brooks, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Alhorford. The rookie lineup is basically the same as the second-grade lineup. There is no authentic shooting guard. They are all transferred to the shooting guard with the point guard. However, the second-grade back-court lineup is completely uncomparable to the rookie's back-court lineup. It is not the same level at all.
Oden and the Eagles' center El Hofford, in the end, Oden jumped the ball without any suspense and jumped to Huang Jun. Huang Jun's position in this lineup is point guard, and Ross, who is also a point guard, moved to the scoring position. Because Ross's scoring ability is indeed much higher than his organizational ability, it is indeed a very wise and correct choice to move him to the scoring position.
Huang Jun controlled the ball at half-time and sat directly on a gesture, and naturally everyone knew what this gesture meant, because before the game, Huang Jun had simply interacted with them and explained the meaning of many gestures, because everyone was a newcomer and it was the first time to fight side by side with a team. Yes, there is no tacit understanding at all. To put it bluntly, the tacit understanding is zero, and Huang Jun's gesture will play a great role. Without tacit understanding, he can only rely on the gesture to understand what he is going to do.
With Huang Jun's gesture falling, Odenli immediately came to cover him. It was very easy for the knight Huang Jun to pass the defensive player Starky, but he did not choose to pass the opponent's player by himself, but asked for a block.
The reason why this block is that Huang Jun wants to form a short tacit understanding with some players in the first quarter, so as to prepare for the next game. Although the opponent's lineup is not their opponent at all, Huang Jun does not mean to underestimate the enemy. No matter how strong the enemy is, in the end We can't get rid of the tragedy.
As soon as Huang Jun entered this team, he was already the leader of this team. No one dared to be dissatisfied. Even if Ross and Oden, who performed well this season, were very supportive of him, he naturally had to listen to his words. Huang Jun's first sentence was that no one could cope with this rookie game with the mentality of underestimity. This game.
