993 Warring States Period

The All-Star Weekend officially kicked off, and the Rookie Challenge was staged as scheduled. In the end, the first-year team defeated the second-year team with 14B140, which also set two historical records for the rookie tournament. First, the first-year team's 14B points set the first-year scoring record for the Rookie Challenge, and secondly, the two teams contributed 2B points together, which is also the highest score that the two teams have won since the start of the rookie tournament.

This year's rookie challenge was very successful. Although it lacks defense and hardness, a group of rookies played the feeling of tiger roaring and dragon roaring. This is very important as the opening show of the All-Stars.

The two teams started offensively at the beginning, especially the first-year team Cousins ​​and second-year team Blair were in the scoring. They both had a lot of fun fighting, and the other players also performed their true performances as much as possible, using this challenge as a stage to show their physical limits.

After a brief adaptation of the game, both sides were more willing to go deep into the basket to score. The dunk scene was overwhelmed, the game pace was faster, and the offensive efficiency was high. Therefore, it was these two reasons that led to this rookie game becoming a complete offensive battle.

Since the rookie tournament was held in 1994, there has not been that class that has been so crazy. The first-year team scored an astonishing 14B points in the whole game, setting a first-year scoring record for the rookie tournament. Even the losing side, the second-year team scored 140 points. It is unprecedented that the two teams contributed 2B points together. This battle undoubtedly created two NHA historical records.

The NH show score record appeared in 207, when the sophomore team scored a high score of 156 points, but the first-year team's highest record was only 140 points. In the last Dallas All-Star Game, the first-year team scored 140 points, and now the 14B-point record they set also makes all previous performances look a little sad.

The two teams work together to score 2B points is even more difficult to reach. In the 207 rookie match, the second-year team won with a huge gap of 156l14. In that game, the two teams contributed 29 points. In the 210 rookie challenge, the second-year and first-year teams contributed 2B points, and the current 2B points have also made the previous record a cloud.

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

However, some experts questioned the lack of defense intensity of the game, and Barkley was very dissatisfied. He said during the live game: "If we only look at the offense, then we might as well watch the ANBl tour. The boys on the streets have more fancy ball control and more explosive dunks. But that is not a real basketball game. The real essence of basketball lies in confrontation, in the collision between muscles, and in the defense."

Barkley said it was true, but no one cared about it, so the fans could enjoy it.

However, most experts also agree with Barkley's point of view. Fans will feel new when watching this model of game. If they do this in the future, fans will feel tired.

The one who finally won the MP trophy was John Wall. Although his score was only 14 points, it seemed useless in the whole game, he had 2 assists, and he was the offensive engine of the first-year team.

Two assists broke the record of 17 assists in the rookie challenge set by Chris Paul in 207. As the saying goes, the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave, and one wave is stronger than the other. Now Wall has become an outstanding representative of the NH point guard.

To some extent, the Wizards' poor record also allowed some of Wall's advantages to be covered up. In fact, the No. 1 pick is very good at using his own speed to activate the rhythm of the game and control himself. He either passes it to his teammates in the gap or chooses to attack by himself. So when the rhythm is brought up, Wall's force can be fully exerted, and his mobility and overall view will be revealed. The fast-to-fast scene of the rookie challenge is just right for his taste.

In this game, Wall fully demonstrated his quickness and selflessness. He deliberately created opportunities for his teammates many times during the game, which is why the rookie team can fly frequently on the basket.

Both Griffin and Cousins ​​have received a lot of favors from Wall. Among them, Griffin's most classic rebound ball swing dunk is Wall's wedding dress. When everyone else was enjoying it, Wall chose to take a different approach and use an alternative way to help the team.

In contrast, another genius point guard has a lot of aura, that is, one of the most dazzling newcomers last season.

Jennings started last season when he played in the rookie match. Now that time has changed, when he stepped onto the rookie field again, he has become a substitute. The limelight was snatched by Griffin, Cousins, Blair, DeRozan and even James Harden.

The All-Stars is a big show. Whether it is the rookie or the All-Star Game, Jennings, as an old bird, knows it.

In this star game, Jennings ignored the weird hairstyle last season, nor did he follow him to interview him continuously, so he did not show any signs of dissatisfaction after he appeared on the bench.

Injuries have become Jennings' nightmare, otherwise, he should have been the protagonist today. If Jennings had the form of last year, why should he care so much about assists on the All-Star show? Jennings has the ability to dunk, but his favorite thing in his usual game seems to be three-pointers.

It is a great time to dunk in the All-Star Game, but if you can keep throwing three points, isn’t it pleasing to the eye? Unfortunately, Jennings is no longer the main player now, and he doesn’t have so many opportunities to make a phone call, so he can only choose to be low-key and hide behind the scenes.

Chamberlain, who is the assistant coach of the winner after the game, was still the focus of the interview. When talking about Wall, he said: "Wal is a genius point guard. He is very good at it. I really can't believe that it is his first time playing in an All-Star game. Few people are as relaxed as him, and he is so leader. He is a meritorious. There is no doubt that this young man has a bright future. Although the sky is full of people, I still have to say that only the sky is his limit."

Speaking of his new teammate Paul George, Chamberlain smiled and said, "Paul is a little depressed today. His strongest is defense, but today's fans don't want to see defense, so he can only sacrifice himself. This is very valuable. If everyone has the spirit of sacrifice like Paul, today's game will be even more exciting. I am very proud of Paul. Today's game does not belong to him, but sooner or later he will become an All-Star, and then his era will come."

On February 19, NHAi entered the second day of the 2ll All-Star Weekend, and the first project to start was the Shooting Star Competition.

The four teams participating in the Shooting Stars Competition are Texas United composed of Dirk Nowitzki, Kenny Smith and Ronika Hodge, Angel City team composed of Paul Sol, Rick Fox and Tim Thomson, Atlanta team composed of Al Horford, Steve Smith and Cork Miller, and Oakland team. As the host, the Warriors obviously don't want to miss such a good performance opportunity.

The shooting star requires the participants to be an active NHAI player, a retired NHAI player, and an NBAI player. The Warriors sent a strong lineup, Grant Hill, Rick Barry and Carteri Cravid.

Atlanta took the lead and they spent too much time suffering setbacks at the fourth point, but in the end Horford unexpectedly made a long three-pointer in the mid-line shooting, which took 47.6 seconds.

The hosts were then playing. The first 6 points were smooth, but they were wasting too much time at the last point. When the former sharpshooter Barry finally made the last goal in the midline, the team had accumulated time to 1 minute and UU seconds.

This made the fans very regretful. Chamberlain also smiled and shook his head off the court. According to experience, the Oakland team, who originally wanted to win the championship, will be eliminated this time.

After Los Angeles made a problem at the fifth point, Fox missed three-pointers for a while and it took some time to make up for the best in the ultra-long three-pointer session. The team spent a total of 55.B seconds.

The last one to play was Texas United. Nowitzki wasted a little time when he missed two shots at the second point, but the team's other links went smoothly.

The old star Smith took the lead in the ultra-long distance link and hit a shot, which caused exclamation and applause from the spot. The total time the team took was only - and B seconds.

In this way, Texas United, the defending champion, entered the finals with the second best team at Atlanta.

Atlanta took the lead in the finals. They seemed a little nervous in the first few points and spent a lot of time. In the mid-line three-pointer, the three of them also felt poor and spent too much time. In the end, Horford made another contribution. He hit a long three-pointer at 1 minute and 10 seconds, ending this shooting star game with this result.

Texas United made all the first two points, and the next three points were relatively smooth. The team took about 3 seconds in the first 6 points. However, in the last mid-range shooting, Texas United missed the goal repeatedly, and they eventually lost to Atlanta and missed the defending title.

The Shooting Star Competition ended, and more exciting individual events began to take place, followed by a Skills Challenge.

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

Last season, West won the Skills Challenge Championship. This time he did not participate and had to prepare for the All-Star Game. Curry wanted to try it out. Moreover, he is a double-sports guard. After being invited by the league, he happily agreed to participate in the game.

Although Curry is the most popular among the fans on the scene, it is not him who wins the championship, but Paul and Ross, and even Wall, who just won the All-Star Rookie Challenge, has a better chance of winning than Curry.

Curry gave the fans the impression of his cute pretty face and the lightning-fast sharp shooting technique. His ball-control ability seems to be average. After all, Rick never relied on breakthroughs in the game.

Paul was selected by Stern to participate in the competition. Westbrook and Ross participated in the Skills Challenge for the second time, while Curry and Wall are newcomers. It seems that Curry really has no chance.

This time the players appeared in the football game mode, each of them holding a beautiful little girl in their hands.

The most dazzling one is Curry, because he is holding the goddess of teenagers in America, Shirley

Curry was the first to play in the preliminary round, Chamberlain and others slapped him in high-high, while Shirley finally gave him a blessing kiss on his forehead, which made all the male fans crazy.

After playing, Curry was very calm. He always had a handsome and confident smile on his face, and then he completed the level in 34.1 seconds.

Westbrook then played, which took 3 seconds. Another thing was Wall, who had just given two assists in the rookie game, but the No. 1 pick seemed to be a little too hasty, and made mistakes in shooting and passing, which ended up taking 3-seconds.

The fourth appearance was the champion Ross of the previous year. He took 3 seconds and was eliminated.

The finale Paul had a problem as soon as he came on the court, and he even missed a layup, which caused laughter on the spot. In the end, Paul took 43 seconds to get it done and was terrified to be at the bottom. In the end, Curry and Westbrook entered the finals respectively.

Curry and Westbrook entered the final, which means that a new champion will be produced in the Skills Challenge. Because the host team in the previous Shooting Star Competition failed to perform correctly and did not win the championship, all local fans were full of expectations for Curry. When he appeared, the fans of the court held their breath and calmed down.

Curry was the first to play, and he was very fast, almost all of them were completed in one go, without any mistakes, and finally completed all the projects in just 2.2 seconds.

Westbrook then played, but his speed was obviously slower than Curry. He had problems in both the passing stage and the mid-range shot, which took up as much as 44.2 seconds.
