O.J. Mayo, Michael. Beasley, Lopez and the others suffered a crushing defeat at the Rookie Challenge a year ago, beating up by the Animal Brothers and Little Bag. This time, they will face Blake as sophomores in the Rookie Challenge. Griffin, Tyreck. Evans, Blanton. The challenge of rookies such as Jennings.

Ever since the 2000 Rookie Challenge turned into a showdown between rookies and sophomores, the event has been a stage for sophomores to teach their rookies, with sophomores winning most of those bouts and holding a 7-2 overall record.

At last year's All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, the animal brothers' heroic watch Xiàn educated Derek well. Rose, Mayo, the group of rookies, now what they have to do is to give the "misfortune" of a year ago to the current rookies.

Before the start of the All-Star Break, Derek. Rose, who was going to play in the All-Star Game and other events, asked the league to miss the rookie game after several considerations, and the Clippers' Dragic was able to take his place, which would give Mayo and Westbrook more opportunities.

Although Rose's absence has weakened the overall strength of the sophomores, they have good players on the inside and outside, Mayo and Westbrook will take responsibility for controlling the team's offense, and they have Brooke on the inside. López, Mark. Gasol, Kevin. Lefou, there are also attack points like Beasley and Gallinari in the middle and long distance, and they will use a more balanced offensive and defensive table to attack the victory.

Compared to the rookie team, the interior line will be an advantage for sophomores. Lopez, Gasol Jr., and Love are all interior players who have already proven themselves in the NBA, and with Beasley, sophomores are more than capable of dominating the three-second zone.

Compared with. Only Griffin can kill the sophomore team on the inside. So in today's game. The sophomore team should be more determined to stick to the inside of the ball. And then the combination of inside and out, which will give them a better chance of winning.

The four highlight-profile first-year rookie players are Griffin, Evans, Jennings and Curry, and this year's NBA Rookie of the Year race has become a battle between three guards and a power forward, and the Rookie Challenge will be another arena for them.

Griffin and Evans are currently leading the race, and the two of them are also seen as players with the potential to become superstars, and this match against Westbrook and Mayo will be another good opportunity for him to show what he can do. Jennings had an impressive 55 points per game, but his performance has been lackluster since then, and it is unclear if he will be able to regain his feeling with this rookie challenge. Curry has a decent offensive prowess from the outside. He's going to try to bring more offensive help to the team.

If the rookie team can stay on the inside in the battle, then relying on the good performance of players like Evans, Curry, Jennings, and Harden on the outside, they may be able to beat a more balanced sophomore team.

Players selected for the first-year pair:

Defender: Brandon. Jennings, Stephen. Curry, Tyrek. Evans, James. Harden.

Striker: Blake. Griffin, Tate. Gibson, Omi. Cosby, Jonas. Jerebko.

Center: De Juan. Blair

Players selected for the sophomore team:

Defender: Golan. Dragic, Russell. Westbrook, Eric. Gordon, O.J. Mayo.

Forward: Michael. Beasley, Danilo. Gallinari.

Center: Kevin. Lefou, Brooke. López, Mark. Gasol.

"I said, which side of the house will you win this time?"

Ji Guoyan looked at the odds before the game and decisively bought the first-year team to win.

"First grade? I don't think so, even if Rose doesn't play, Russell will be good enough to beat the first-year team. ”

Kobe Bryant snorted and bought a sophomore to win.

"Evans is good."

James thought about it for a while, and actually supported the first grade like the dead fox, on the grounds that he was optimistic about Evans.

"That's right. The first-year defenders, with the exception of Jennings, are all players who have a good sense of the big picture. They won't mess around outside, and they should have more chances. ”

Ji Guoqiu is also optimistic about the first grade, on the grounds that the outside line of the first grade is more stable.

"I also bought the first-year team to win."

Durant also came to support his two teammates today, and he actually thought that he had a chance to win in the year.

Kobe's face is not good-looking now, the reason for these guys is that the outside line of the first grade is more stable, and the outside line of the second grade is all alone, but no matter how this sounds, it looks like scolding him.

Wade and Nowitzki, who had not spoken next to them, also nodded, and also bought the first-year team to win, their reason was that the first-year outside was steady and selfless, and the inside except for Griffin were defensive giants, and in the end, Griffin must have won the MVP, of course, if Evans can get a triple-double, he will also have a chance to compete for MVP. On the contrary, the backcourt of the sophomore team is full of players who are too self-conscious, and they will fight first in order to brush up the number of jù.

Ji Guoyan looked at the isolated Kobe Bryant, couldn't help but use a joking tone, raised three fingers, and teased: "Dear Bryant, a villain like you can't survive three episodes in a TV series." ”

"You ......"

All the big names laughed, Kobe Bryant's face turned blue, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his heart, and Peter Pan's mood was now broken.

The game started quickly, and Kobe Bryant vomited blood was still behind.

This year's first-grader is quite surprising, it can be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the offensive is very fierce after the opening, and he does not take the seniors in his eyes at all.

Griffin is really the best fit for the All-Star stage, and if it weren't for the brutal competition in the West this year, Griffin would have been properly entered the main game.

In addition to the White Monsters in the first grade, Evans and Jennings were also eye-catching, and after 4 minutes of play, Evans broke through quickly, easily penetrated the crowd, and made a layup, and the first-year students exceeded 15-13. After the two teams exchanged leads several times, Griffin stepped up to steal the spotlight, and after receiving a pass from Harden, he scored a dunk. Evans then made a layup to give the first-graders a 21-19 lead.

There are a lot of outside players in sophomores, and they keep shooting three-point shots. But as expected by the big names on the sidelines. These guys' shots are all waste. The hit rate is not as good as it could be. Except for Gallinari, he hit a three-pointer after the opening game, but they missed many three-pointers after that.

Griffin excelled on the inside, the only center forward on the first-year team, and Blair also showed a level that far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Blair is the lowest-ranked "little green house" player in NBA draft history because he was found to have no anterior cruciate ligament in both knees during the draft test. There is one theory that the anterior cruciate ligaments in both knees are congenitally missing, while another theory is that the anterior cruciate ligaments in both knees are missing. It was because he had broken the anterior cruciate ligament in both knees when he was in high school, and as a result, there were some unexpected sequelae after the operation.

In any case, Blair is in a sharp decline in the draft pick because of this hidden danger. However, the Spurs confidently selected Blair in the second round after checking both of his knees, and Blair's performance this season can be said to be worthy of the Spurs' trust.

From the very beginning of the competition today, Blair showed an extremely vigorous performance**. He's the only player on the rookie team who can play the No. 5 position, but in terms of his control of the ball, he doesn't look like a bulky center at all - Blair even dominated the game at one point. Helped Jennings and Curry temporarily take on the role of point guard.

As a result, there were even scenes of Blair's behind-the-back passing and instigating a fast attack on the field. If it weren't for Blair's physical strength, he would have been mistaken for Tony. Parker, George. Hill's possibility.

The first-graders played exceptionally well today, and soon played a combination of inside and outside, Evans on the outside was willing to create a zào dunk opportunity for Griffin, and many commentators compared this rookie with a lot of general style to James on the guard, and the first-year team gradually widened the gap.

With 3:30 left in the first half, Evans teamed up with teammate Griffin, who feigned a dunk, but in fact reciprocated with a behind-the-scenes pass to assist Evans for a layup, causing Westbrook to foul and score three points with free throws.

First-graders also finished by double digits with a 55:45 advantage.

Gordon then scored two consecutive baskets, including an aerial relay dunk, to save face for sophomores. However, Jennings also scored back-to-back shots, forcing a breakaway and juggling a layup in the air to give the first-graders a double-digit lead.

First-graders led 67-55 in the first half.

Kobe Bryant is now the most painful of the big names on the sidelines, and a group of bastards next to him all bought first-year wins, and they seem to be laughing at him at the moment, and even Durant doesn't know what to giggle at there?

Peter Pan misunderstood Durant, and he was the one who was most sure that the sophomore would kneel, because no one knew Westbrook with a little bag, and since the kid said before the game that he wanted to win the MVP, the sophomore would be dead.

In the first half, for the first-year team, Griffin had 15 points and 8 rebounds, Evans had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Jennings had 15 points and 2 assists, Blair had 6 points and 12 rebounds, Curry had 7 points and Harden had 5 points. For the sophomore team, Westbrook had 12 points and 1 assist, Mayo had 12 points and 2 assists, and Eric. Gordon had 8 points and 2 assists, and Kevin Brown. Love 6 points and 8 rebounds, Brooke. Lopez 8 points and 3 rebounds, Michael. Beasley had six points and three rebounds.

The first-graders continued to dominate in the second half, and with 10:20 left in the game, Jennings hit a shot after gliding in the air to give the first-graders a 100-point lead at 100-86. After the sophomores rallied to close the gap to 10 points, Harden also scored a three-pointer, Griffin immediately broke through and dunked, and the first-year students scored seven straight points to take a 107-90 lead with nine minutes left in the game.

The defense of both teams strengthened in the final minutes, and the sophomores began to chase the points, and they finally found their groove outside the three-point line, with Westbrook hitting two three-pointers in 20 seconds to tie the score at 108:116. Dragic also hit a three-pointer after that, but the first-graders didn't show weakness, and Jennings scored four straight points to open the gap in the first year at 125-111.

In the previous 10 years, the second-year students had beaten the first-year students 8 times, and they had an absolute advantage in the competition with one more year of experience, but this time, the first-year students did not give face to the seniors, and they firmly controlled the situation. With three minutes left in the game, Curry hit a three-pointer to give the first year a 15-point lead at 130-115.

The sophomore panicked, Westbrook and Mayo continued to single, consecutive turnovers, lost hope of a comeback, and the situation of sophomores dominating the rookie game came to an end, and now the two have a record of 3:7, and in the rookie challenge in the past three years, the first-year team has won twice.
