The excitement of the "Rookie Challenge" varies from year to year, and whether the competition is good depends on whether there are players like the Animal Brothers in the past two years. There are exactly two good interior players this year, with the Kings' Cousins and the Pistons' Monroe both considered rookies with All-Star potential.

This year's sophomore has an absolute advantage on the outside, but the first grade has two good seedlings on the inside of the All-Star, and if they can dominate the basket, the outcome will have some suspense.

Year 1 lineup:

Eric. Bledsoe (New Jersey Nets, guard, University of Kentucky)

DeMarcus. Cousins (Sacramento Kings, center, University of Kentucky)

Derek. Favors (Milwaukee Bucks, forward, Georgia Tech)

Evan. Turner (Minnesota Timberwolves, Forward, Ohio State University)

Wesley. Johnson (Minnesota Timberwolves, forward, Syracuse University)

Paul. George (New Jersey Nets, Forward, Fresno State)

Greg. Monroe (Detroit Pistons, center, University of Georgia City)

Gary. Neil (San Antonio Spurs, Guard, LASALLE University)

John. Wall (Washington Wizards, guard, University of Kentucky)

Year 2 Team Lineup:

Blake. Griffin (New Orleans Hornets, Forward, University of Oklahoma)

DeJuan. Blair (San Antonio Spurs, center, University of Pittsburgh)

Demar. DeRozan (Toronto Raptors, guard, USC)

Stephen. Curry (Golden State Warriors. Fullback. Davidson University)

James. Harden (Oklahoma City Thunder. Guard, Arizona State University)

Great. Gibson (Chicago Bulls, forward, USC)

Tyrek. Evans (Sacramento Kings, Guard, University of Memphis)

Sergi. Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City Thunder, forward, DRC)

Brandon. Jennings (Milwaukee Bucks. Defender, Roma)

In the original time and space, Blake. Griffin was reimbursed for not playing a game in his first season, so this year he was assigned to the first-year team, so that the second-year team was completely deprived of a good interior lineman and was defeated by the three interior players of the first-year team - Griffin, Cousins, and Monroe.

In this space-time Griffin is not reimbursed, and the second year has Ibaka and Griffin on the inside, and it is by no means overwhelmed by the first grade. On the contrary, the second-year guard lineup has an absolute advantage, so the media and fans are optimistic that the second-year team can win.

The Clippers don't have rookies in the game this year, Ji Guoyi and Taylor. Swift is purely here to show affection.

The Nets have two rookie picks this year. Ji Guoqiu took the little radish shreds and made a special trip to cheer for his two teammates!

Bledsoe so far. He averaged 24 minutes of playing time per game, contributing 9.0 points, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals, which is already a good statistic.

Paul. George's performance is not as good as Bledsoe's, which is determined by his style of play and also related to the Nets' style of play. George averaged 20 minutes per game before the All-Star break, contributing 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals, which is not bad, otherwise he would not have been drafted to the rookie team.

The Rookie Challenge is divided into two halves, each of which lasts 20 minutes, and most of the rules of the game are similar to those of the NCAA, except that there are no rules for being sent off.

John. Wall was very active, and as the biggest star in the first year, he wanted to dominate the game from the start, providing back-to-back assists to help Cousins and Favors score. Zhuang Yuanlang is very smart and knows that his team's advantage is on the inside, so he chose to help the team open up the situation on the inside.

This year's champion has been questioned by the media, and the Wizards' record has not improved in the slightest compared to last season, which is obviously unqualified for a champion.

The media and fans naturally compared his seniors, and the champion in '08 was Derek. Rose, the talented point guard, immediately helped the team improve 18 wins, and the Bulls, who had missed the playoffs the year before, squeezed into the playoffs with the eighth place in the East, and was the only rookie player in the 2008 NBA Draft to lead the team to the playoffs.

Two point guards with similar playing styles and the same division are naturally placed together for comparison. Wall is now a long way behind his brother, so he's desperate to prove himself, and this is a good opportunity.

It's a pity that the backcourt lineup of the sophomore team is too luxurious, and the opening lead of the first-year team did not last long before it was played everywhere by Curry, Evans, Harden, DeRozan, a group of sophomore-grade star guards, and the first-year team was unable to defend it. The most tragic thing is that the first-year inside advantage can't be too much advantage in front of Ibaka and Griffin, Monroe is not suitable for such a game, only Cousins is powerful, but he alone cannot help the team win the final victory.

In the first half, Bledsoe and George also got seven or eight minutes of playing time, but as in the Nets, Paul, who was not very good at holding the ball. George is very unremarkable, like he came to make soy sauce. On the contrary, Bledsoe once again attracted the attention of fans after coming on the field, and his style of play is very ornamental, and he can maximize the play in this kind of game with low defensive intensity.

Nets fans lamented again that the high-pick rookies have always been inferior to the low-pick rookies over the years, and the media has long explained that with the general improvement of the physical fitness of post-90s players, athleticism no longer seems to be the biggest evidence for determining the future of players. Those super geniuses who have attracted attention in college are indeed perverted in physical fitness, but they don't seem to be much better than other players, and then technology and basketball IQ gradually become more important.

Through this season's regular season performance, many media outlets felt that Bledsoe was no better than John. Wal's poor if you add Bledsoe's playing time and team positioning to John. To the same extent as Wall, their personal data may be indistinguishable.

This comparison is actually quite unfair, Bledsoe was on the defensive pressure in the game and John. Wall makes a big difference. Bledsoe is unlikely to be caught in the game. His teammates helped him attract a lot of defense. John. Wall, however, was the Wizards' offensive initiator. Often faced with the help defense and the bag, the comparison between the two is not under the same standard.

In the first half, Wall dished out 10 assists to help Cousins score a game-high 22 points, and Bledsoe also scored 12 points. George had just five points. However, the sophomore team still led 74-65, with Griffin scoring 15 points and Harden scoring 12. Jennings had 12 points, Curry had 11 and DeRozan had 10.

The sophomore backcourt scoring far exceeds the first-year, Monroe's scoring ability can be seen through the first half, his talent on the offensive end is far less than Cousins, although his playmaking ability is stronger, but it is not reflected at all in the All-Star, his brilliance is overshadowed by Cousins.

Intermission, Taylor. Swift and Ji Guoyi sat on the sidelines and continued to show affection, without the slightest intention of getting up to participate in the performance.

This kind of rookie competition. Taylor. Swift didn't bother to perform, and last year the league invited her to sing at the Rookie Challenge. However, the little singer felt that she was not "small" at all, and performing in the rookie competition did not match her value, so she politely declined the invitation.

This year the league learned smartly and invited Taylor. Swift performed at the All-Star Game, and she was joined by the little diva Rihanna. That's in keeping with her position, Taylor. That's what Swift thinks, not only that, but she also wants to keep Rihanna down, and she still doesn't feel satisfied with the outfit she chose for the day after tomorrow for almost two months.

Ji Guoyi saw that the little singers were stuck in a difficult choice, and at the critical moment, he helped her find a designer from China and copied the domineering dragon robe dress of the future Fan Ye. Taylor, who has little culture. After understanding the meaning of this dress, Swift was satisfied with three versions and prepared to change one every day during this period.

Taylor Today. Swift wore a low-key white outfit that had already murdered a lot of the reporter's film, and she was looking forward to her appearance in the next two days.

At halftime, the low-key Ji Guoqiu went to the side of the first-year team and assistant coach Chris. Paul exchanged two sentences, and then Black Shota added Bledsoe and Paul in the second half. George's playing time has aroused the imagination of many fans.

Wizards fans secretly scolded the panda for being shameless, and at halftime they all saw Ji Guoqiu's actions and decided that the panda must be a threat to Chris. Paul, the aim is to get more playing time for his teammates.

Bledsoe and Paul. George was given 10 minutes of playing time in the second half, and he was on the field at the same time, which confirmed the speculation of many fans.

Bledsoe has shown his close relationship with John during this time. Wall's style of scoring is completely different, when he is on the court, he basically scores points by himself, even if he passes the ball, the object is also his teammate Paul. George.

The two Nets rookies led the first-year team in the second half and led the first-year team to a counterattack and at one point put the score in the lead.

The final 10 minutes of the game started to feel a bit of a real thing, and in a stalemate, Jennings and Curry each hit a three-pointer to give the sophomore a 120-115 lead, and Ibaka hit a three-pointer shortly after, hurting the first-year team.

In the last five minutes of the game, the first-year team replaced Bledsoe and Paul. George, who then struggled to catch up with Wall and Cousins. Wall's assists quickly came to 16, but the first year still trailed 130-125 heading into the final three minutes.

Wall continued to provide assists, but the first-year team was the exception of Paul. George and Neil didn't have any outstanding three-point shooters, but neither of them was on the court, and the sophomores shrank their defenses and let the first-year team's interior offense miss frequently. However, the sophomore team gradually widened the point difference under the long-range blows of Curry and others.

In the final minute, the sophomore team hit two more three-pointers to take a double-digit lead at 142-130, while the first-year three-pointers lost their crosshairs and still trailed 144-132 in the final 30 seconds.

In the end, the sophomore team defeated the first-year team with a score of 146-135 and won the Rookie Challenge for the second year in a row.

John. Wall had a staggering 20 assists but couldn't lead his team to victory, and the MVP went to Blake, who had 30 points and 15 rebounds. Griffin.

Ji Guoqiu doesn't care who wins the MVP, he cares about how his teammates perform.

Bledsoe had 20 points and four assists. George had 14 points and 5 rebounds, and the two little guys were already doing very well.

After the game, some media asked Ji Guoqiu about his relationship with Chris at halftime. What did Paul say?

Ji Guoqiu replied: "I just told them that two players from the same team should be arranged to play together. They took my advice, Bledsoe and George played more in the second half, and I think it was the coach of the first year team who thought they were playing well, and I didn't ask them to add Bledsoe and Paul. George's playing time, they won't listen to me. ”

The reporters asked the two brothers which player they thought would win tomorrow's "Slam Dunk Contest" and "Three-Point Contest".

As a three-time three-point king, Ji Guoyi is also recognized as the strongest marksman in the active game, and his answer has made fans very interested.

Brother Fox smiled: "I think Ray will win the championship, in the past month, after each training session, Ray and I will simulate a three-point competition, and the trainer will arrange the same lights and props for us as the game site." I'm not going to tell you how I won or lost the fight against him, but I knew Ray was going to win. He then commented on Durant and Pierce, who were competing for the third time: "Kevin is good in normal games, but I don't expect him to win the three-point contest. Paul never seemed to be a reliable three-point shooter, and I felt like Kevin and Pierce would have been eliminated in the first round. ”

The fans in front of the TV laughed and peed, such a blatant curse + slander is what he can do, everyone knows that he doesn't deal with Durant and Pierce, especially Pierce, the two of them almost fought in the game several times.

Ji Guoqiu expressed his views on this "Slam Dunk Contest" and "Three-Point Contest" not far away, first of all, in the "Slam Dunk Contest", he is more optimistic that McGee can win the championship, "Yes, I think he has the ability to win the championship, his height, bounce, and arm span are not inferior to our brothers, but the players who participated in the slam dunk contest this year are very good, so I'm not sure who will win in the end, I think I'll go to the scene to see the results for myself." ”

The champion of the "Three-Point Shooting Competition", Ji Guoqiu naturally supports his teammates, "Kyle is one of the most standard and consistent shooters I have ever seen, and Ray is also good, but I think his shooting speed is too fast, and it may not be suitable for this kind of game, so I think Kyle will win the championship." ”

The players participating in the "three-point contest" this time are Pierce from the Celtics and Ray from the Clippers. Allen, Thunder's Durant, Nets' Kyle. Korver, Heat's James. Jones and the Warriors' Dorrell. Wright. The four players who participated in the "Slam Dunk Contest" were DeMar from the Raptors. DeRozan, Blake of the Hornets. Griffin, McGee of the Wizards, Ibaka of the Thunder. (To be continued......)
