NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 524: The Joyful Rookie Challenge

This year's rookie challenge will no longer be divided into first-year teams and second-year teams, but a mixed team of first-year and second-year students will compete against each other. \u003c/p\u003e

According to the arrangement, the players on the shortlist for the 2012 Rookie Challenge are selected by the assistant coaches of the NBA teams. \u003c/p\u003e

Each team can provide up to two rookies to enter the shortlist, and finally a 9-man list will be selected by the general managers of the two teams. \u003c/p\u003e

The other two were the No. 1 picks in the draft for the past two years. There is no need to choose this spot. The No. 1 pick can directly enter the final list, regardless of whether he is a parallel importer or not. \u003c/p\u003e

Charles Barkley and "Shark" O'Neal, who are TNT TV commentators, will serve as the general managers of the two teams respectively. They will each select 9 players from the shortlist through the draft. \u003c/p\u003e

Shaq O'Neal's ten-man roster is as follows: John Wall, Blake Griffin, Jeremy Lin, Markieff Morris, Greg Monroe, Landry Fields, Norris Coe Bill, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Wright and Tristan Thompson. \u003c/p\u003e

Head Coaches: Ron Adams, Steve Kerr. \u003c/p\u003e

General Manager: Shaquille O'Neal. \u003c/p\u003e

The 10-man roster for the "Chuck" Barkley team is as follows: Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Derrick Williams, Marshan Brooks, Kemba Walker, Thiago Splitter, Coyon Leonard, Evan Turner. \u003c/p\u003e

Head Coaches: Maurice Cheeks, Mike Fratello. \u003c/p\u003e

General Manager: Charles Barkley. \u003c/p\u003e

Since Jeremy Lin and Cousins ​​belonged to two teams respectively, Lian Dao didn't know which team to support. In the end, whoever scored the goal of the two, Lian Dao cheered for. \u003c/p\u003e

I have to say that the restructuring of the Rookie Challenge this time is still very good. \u003c/p\u003e

Compared with before, it is a little less serious, but the added entertainment is very popular with fans. \u003c/p\u003e

Especially O'Neill, who plays tricks on the court, is a player who likes to play very much.

An entertainment genius who is also very good at playing. \u003c/p\u003e

With Shaquille O'Neal as the general manager of the "Shaq" team, the "Shaq" team will naturally not lack joy, especially some wonderful goals and player interactions, which made the audience laugh non-stop. Even Lian Dao couldn't help laughing. \u003c/p\u003e

The little senior sister saw O'Neill dancing funny on the sidelines, and laughed even more. \u003c/p\u003e

However, I have to say that the entertainment game is more gorgeous and much more beautiful than before. \u003c/p\u003e

O'Neal chose to be funny, and Barkley naturally chose to be serious. Only when the two styles collide will the game be more exciting. \u003c/p\u003e

So Barkley very seriously told the team to play steadily, and their goal is to make something exciting while winning. \u003c/p\u003e

The two different styles actually determined the different directions of the game from the beginning. \u003c/p\u003e

At the beginning of the game, the "Chuck" team firmly controlled the situation on the court. \u003c/p\u003e

As last year's No. 1 pick, Kyrie Irving has a strong desire to win, and he showed off his gorgeous offensive style on the court. \u003c/p\u003e

It has to be said that Irving's offensive skills are very rich, and the breakthrough methods are endless. \u003c/p\u003e

If Iverson passed people 100 times in one way, then Irving can pass people in 100 ways. \u003c/p\u003e

In this Rookie Challenge, Irving is bound to win the MVP! \u003c/p\u003e

In fact, if you think about it carefully, how many of those backcourt players who can become superstars have never won the MVP of the rookie game? \u003c/p\u003e

So don't look at this as a game with a stronger performance, but for a rookie like Irving who aspires to become a superstar, it is actually a game that must be won in his career. \u003c/p\u003e

Compared with the seriousness of the "Chuck" team, the "Shaq" team is unique in the opening lineup in the first place. \u003c/p\u003e

O'Neal directly placed three point guards on the court: Rubio, Jeremy Lin and John Wall, while matching power forward White Warcraft Griffin and center Monroe. \u003c/p\u003e

It was Rubio who really controlled the ball, but Rubio also showed silky passing ability. \u003c/p\u003e

From the very beginning, Rubio was relaxed and trying to play for his teammates. \u003c/p\u003e

It can be seen that this little guy from Europe is not only cute, but also has great skills and awareness. \u003c/p\u003e

After playing for a while in the first half, Rubio found a chance to break through, and Evan Turner in front of him tried to come over to help defend. As a result, Rubio made a fake move to the right, and the honest Turner immediately dodged to the right obediently. \u003c/p\u003e

Unexpectedly, the seemingly righteous Rubio was so cunning that he tricked Turner with a single trick, and then there was nothing in front of him, and he scored 2 points with an easy layup. \u003c/p\u003e

At that moment, Rubio was very much like Jason Williams, with the same white skin, the same skillful ball handling, and more similar, the same creativity. \u003c/p\u003e

The rookie match is very suitable for players like Rubio who let go and play. Everyone is not here to fight hard. \u003c/p\u003e

Relax and bring happiness to the fans, that is the kingly way of the match. In this regard, Rubio is very thorough. \u003c/p\u003e

In addition to paying tribute to white chocolate in the first half, he also played the street style in the second half. \u003c/p\u003e

Facing the double-teaming of the two in the backcourt, Rubio didn't panic at all, and easily hit the ground through the crotch, passing through the wall in an instant. \u003c/p\u003e

Once in the frontcourt, Rubio tossed the ball directly to the basket for an alley-oop to Blake Griffin. \u003c/p\u003e

These very creative goals also caused the fans to scream again and again. \u003c/p\u003e

And Jeremy Lin played shooting guard for the first time, which made him very uncomfortable. \u003c/p\u003e

At the same time, compared to others, he lacks more outstanding athletic ability, for example: he can't fly up and perform wonderful dunks like Wall. \u003c/p\u003e

His personality is not as extroverted as Rubio, so he can't play basketball very "coquettishly". \u003c/p\u003e

So Jeremy Lin's performance was not very good, and his playing time was not very much, only 9 minutes. \u003c/p\u003e

Compared with the rookie challenge of performance nature, Jeremy Lin is more suitable for the main game. \u003c/p\u003e

Wall plays the role of forward and guard. The 2010 No. 1 pick, John Wall, has gone from being highly anticipated last season to being unknown this year. \u003c/p\u003e

Although there is a reason for the team's record, it seems that he himself did not train well during the 149-day lockout period. Instead, he rushed to the field to play wild ball, resulting in a shooting level that was not even as good as his rookie year. \u003c/p\u003e

But when it comes to breakthrough layups and showing off his abilities, Wall is still very suitable for the All-Star stage. \u003c/p\u003e

Although it is not a main game, Wall will spare no effort to perform in a game like the Rookie Challenge. \u003c/p\u003e

In the first half, Wall played 11 minutes off the bench and scored 5 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds on 2 of 3 shots. All of the hits came from breakthrough layups. \u003c/p\u003e

O'Neal's mischievous "three point guards" dismissal naturally made his team quickly lose its ability to resist. \u003c/p\u003e

Although the orthodox players in the second and third positions were replaced later, due to playing too much in the early stage, the holes dug were too large, which led to a one-sided trend in the subsequent games. \u003c/p\u003e

Later, O'Neal originally hoped that "White Monster" Griffin could save some teams, but Griffin's ambition was not here. \u003c/p\u003e

The rookie game is just a warm-up for Griffin for the All-Star Weekend. What he really values ​​is the All-Star Game two days later. \u003c/p\u003e

Therefore, Griffin was a little silent in the rookie game. Judging from his attitude, he wanted to give the stage to the young players around him. \u003c/p\u003e

After all, he is already an All-Star player. Let him play in the rookie game. The league largely wants to increase the ratings and attract more attention from the outside world. \u003c/p\u003e

After the start of the second half, Griffin was more active. After receiving a long pass from his teammate, Griffin threw the ball to the backboard. A slam dunk contest was held to perform. \u003c/p\u003e

In the following game, Griffin made two more dunks, showing off his dunk ability. \u003c/p\u003e

Although he withdrew from the slam dunk contest, Griffin still has a strong desire to perform, and his amazing athletic talent was still displayed in these few dunks. \u003c/p\u003e

And in the rookie game, which doesn't emphasize defense, it's easier for Griffin to buckle up. \u003c/p\u003e

Griffin only scored 10 points and 1 rebound in the whole game. From the statistics, it can be seen that he is just going through the motions. \u003c/p\u003e

Even during the game, O'Neal used words to stimulate Griffin from time to time, telling him how many points a certain player on the Chuck team scored. \u003c/p\u003e

I hope Griffin can play harder, but this did not arouse Griffin's interest at all. \u003c/p\u003e
