Chapter 219 The rookie challenge begins!
In particular, now the NBA league has been creating an elegant game of league personality.

As a result, it is difficult for these players to fully radiate their blood and energy on the field.

Of course, the most important thing is that now the players in the league have money.

If the current NBA league continues to have the same salary and treatment as in the 70s and [-]s, there may not be so many players who have the opportunity to be contaminated with pornography and gambling!
And when you have money, you don't need to automatically find or acquire something automatically. Naturally, there will be many people who want to acquire something for you.

It is also a bit strange to say that since the introduction of international players in the NBA, there have been very few news about international players making troubles or making troubles off the court.

Moreover, pornography, gambling and drugs are basically not used by international players most of the time.

Of course, there is also a part of the reason. It may be because the international players who can enter the NBA are themselves very self-disciplined players.

Otherwise, he would not stand out from the basketball players in his own country and become the rare or even the only NBA player in the entire country!
Similarly, it is precisely because of this that the proportion of international players becoming top NBA stars is much higher than that of local players in the United States!

This has also led to the fact that as more and more local players in the United States break out various negative news, the image of international players in the NBA is becoming better and better than that of American players!

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no players who mess around among international players, it's just because the proportion is relatively lower than that of American players!
Come to think of it, this may also be an important reason why the reputation and popularity of American players have been declining in recent years.

After all, if there was no comparison before, fans in the United States might still think that the image of a gambler player like Jordan is already a perfect basketball player.

But now that they have come into contact with a large number of international players, American fans naturally begin to have higher requirements for the image of local players in the United States.

This is also an important reason why LeBron James can stand out from the rookie season and become the all-American favorite in the league.

At the same time, it is also the reason why James has so many sunspots. After all, James has set up a near-perfect player personality, which makes people have to wonder whether there is such a perfect player in the world!
After all, compared to those native American players who have made pornography, gambling and drugs a part of their lives.

LeBron James' image of self-discipline and cleanliness is indeed too unstained, and at the same time, some are too unreal!

That is to say, LeBron James himself is indeed up to the mark, even though he is highly praised by the league.

Personal data performance, personal game performance and team leadership performance are not bad, and it can even be regarded as an excellent existence among all the players who are still in the rookie period!

Until the birth of Xu Lang this year, LeBron James was undoubtedly the leader of the younger generation of players in the league.

Of course, the topic is a bit far away, back to this year's All-Star Weekend.

I have to say that although Las Vegas does not have a very good reputation as a gambling city, it is really rich.

So it’s hard to say anything about the NBA’s All-Star Weekend this year, at least the accommodation, food, and various hardware and software facilities are definitely among the top-notch All-Star Games in history.

And what envied gamblers like Michael Jordan the most was that Las Vegas had prepared 100 million dollars in free betting for all players participating in the All-Star Game this year.

Of course, the 100 million dollars cannot be directly exchanged for money to take away, it can only be spent in the casino, but if you rely on the 100 million dollars to win, you can take it away.

However, there is a high probability that no NBA player can win money and leave in the hands of these professionals in Las Vegas!
Therefore, in a disguised form, Las Vegas actually didn't pay a penny, but it created a very majestic image for people.

"Brother Lang, Brother Lang, I heard that you don't plan to use your 100 million chips, do you?"

Xu Lang looked at Paul Millsap, who was about to write what he wanted to express, on his face, speechless and incomprehensible.

As a good-natured young man who grew up under the red flag and received traditional domestic education, Xu Lang really couldn't understand the infinite love of the American people for pornography, gambling and drugs.

After Xu Lang landed and received a gambling voucher from the staff in Las Vegas, he immediately ushered in the coveted eyes of a large number of his teammates and friends in the United States.

For example, Paul Millsap, the only Eagles player who followed Xu Lang to the All-Star Weekend.

After knowing that Xu Lang had a $100 million gambling certificate in his hand, he had been pestering Xu Lang for almost a whole day, and wanted the gambling certificate in Xu Lang's hand.

And not only Paul Mirsa, but Brandon Roy, who also participated in the dunk contest and rookie challenge this year, also took a fancy to the gambling certificate in Xu Lang's hand.

It's just a pity that the management of Las Vegas seems to have thought of the possibility that these players may take the gambling money out of Las Vegas through other people.

Therefore, it is required that these gambling certificates can only be used by these players themselves or players who are also in the All-Star Game.

Then, in addition, the gambling certificate in Xu Lang's hand had already been snatched away by O'Neill before Xu Lang got it for half an hour.

That's right, it was grabbing. For the first time, Xu Lang felt that O'Neill's physical talent was so good that he could show such good flexibility and moving speed at a weight of 150kg.

Moreover, O'Neill not only took away the gambling certificates from Xu Lang, but also took away the gambling certificates from Yao Ming and Dirk Nowitzki.

After all, Yao Ming and Dirk Nowitzki, as well-known five good men in the league, are not even involved in hdd at all.

This made Dwyane Wade, who was a step late, scold O'Neill for being cunning and treacherous.

Fortunately, Wade finally got their gambling certificates from Kobe and McGrady.

It can also be seen from this point that the NBA is actually a league where the strong win everything.

Although O'Neal and Yao Ming, Wade and Kobe, McGrady and others are in a competitive relationship in the game.

Even, sometimes during the game, the two sparred each other with trash talk, and various small actions continued.

But in private, as long as you are strong enough, these superstars in the league will naturally take the initiative to accept you, unless your temper is particularly violent and unreasonable.

Otherwise, normally speaking, the relationship between the players who can participate in the All-Star Game is not necessarily very close, but it is not that there is no communication and communication at all.

Of course, if it is a courtesan like LeBron James, it is even possible to influence the trading choices of some superstars through private relationships.

Just like Michael Jordan back then, when he was named and blocked by Isiah Thomas.

Still able to break through this blockade by relying on his own strength, and even climbed to the top of the league No.1 position.

In fact, not only the NBA, it should be said that the entire American society is like this.

In American society, what people have always been advocating is to pursue the strong, rather than pity the weak.

Xu Lang, who has lived in the United States for many years and has experienced ups and downs, has a thorough understanding of the social attributes of the United States.

Therefore, Xu Lang is concerned about Zhu Fangyu and Mo Ke who entered the NBA this year, and Sun Yue who wants to enter the NBA through the draft next year.

They were all vaccinated in advance, so that they were mentally prepared in advance.

The NBA implements the law of the dark jungle. If you are weak, you will not be helped, only eliminated.

As for compassion, only the strong are qualified to possess it.

At least in the NBA, only when you become a strong person are you qualified to show mercy to others.

In fact, judging from Zhu Fangyu's performance in the Spurs and Rockets, it shows that they have already listened to Xu Lang's words.

I just don't know if Sun Yue, who plans to enter the NBA through the draft, has listened to it!

After resting and adjusting for a day, Xu Lang brought Paul Millsap to the venue of the Rookie Challenge.

During the All-Star Weekend, the first thing that comes up is the rookie challenge, which is the least noticed and least attractive event.

However, this year's Rookie Challenge is an exception.

Because of Xu Lang and the Washington Fab Five, this All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge still attracted the attention of many people.

Especially after the roster of first-year players for this year's Rookie Challenge was released, the Huskies fans cheered even more!
In the 2006-2007 season, the first-year lineup of the nba rookie challenge:
Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, Brandon Roy, Bobby Jones, Joan Bruce, Bargnani, Aldridge, Paul Millsap, Bruce Thomas, Adam Morrison.

Apparently, the league will be in this year's Rookie Challenge in order to get all of Washington's Big Five.

Bobby Jones and Joan Bruce, two players who only averaged about 20 minutes per game on the bench in this year's Trail Blazers, were deliberately promoted to the rookie challenge list.

After all, compared to the performance of the two so far this season, there are too many rookie players in the league in 06 whose data and game performance are better than the two.

But I can't hold back that this is the Washington Five Tigers. Although it has been almost a year, the undefeated legend created by the University of Washington last year still has a huge influence among American fans.

The Washington Five Tigers who have entered the NBA are also very attractive to American fans.

It's just that, because the league forcibly selected Bobby Jones and Joan Bruce, two rookies in 06 who were not very good in themselves, into the lineup of the Rookie Challenge.

However, many experts are not optimistic that this year's first-year team can beat the second-year team!

Originally, because of the perfect performance of Xu Lang and others, many experts believed that this year's first-year team might kill the second-year team.

However, after several players who were originally favored by the national experts were not selected, the winning percentage of the first-year team in the eyes of many people directly dropped a lot.

After all, compared to the first-year team with a few weak players, this year's second-year team players played much better after having a year of NBA experience.

The 2006~2007 NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge second-year team lineup is as follows:
Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Andrew Bogut, Andrew Bynum, Monta Ellis, Draymond Felton, Danny Granger, Luther Hyde , David Lee, Nate Robinson

The overall lineup of the entire second-year team, compared to the first-year team, is generally stronger than the first-year team in terms of the configuration of players in each position and the strength of players in each position.

It can even be said that, except for Xu Lang, there is no player in the first grade who can completely suppress the performance of the second grade players in the same position.

And compared to the first-year team, which lacks the ability to protect the inside frame, the lineup is different.

With the two traditional inside centers Bogut and Bynum, the second-year team is obviously much better than the first-year team in terms of the ability to protect the frame and guard rebounds inside.

Of course, the first-year team is not completely without advantages.

A large number of strikers make the athletic ability of the first-year team stronger than that of the second-year team.

At least in terms of running speed and flexibility, Bogut and Bynum, the two traditional NBA heavy centers, definitely cannot compete with Bruce Thomas, Aldridge and other light-weight and flexible strikers. Comparable.

"Hello, everyone, this is TNT, and I am today's host Smith."

"Hello, everyone, I am your favorite, Sir Charles Barkley."

"Speaking of which, this year's Rookie Challenge should be the most watched and highest-rated Rookie Challenge since it was set up during the NBA's All-Star Weekend."

"Indeed, I have to say that the attraction of the Five Tigers in Washington is still great."

"Besides that, there is another eye-catching thing today, the head coaches of the two teams, Jason Kidd and Stephen Nash."

"The two are now on this year's assist list, but they are very hot. In the last game before the start of this year's All-Star Weekend, Stephen Nash scored 13 assists in the whole game, thus surpassing himself. The average assist data per game has increased to more than 11 times."

"This directly opened the gap between Jason Kidd's 10.9 assists per game."

"And in this game, I don't know how the two top passers in the league can create sparks in the position of head coach?"

"Oh, I don't think Smith, you have forgotten that there is another player who is also in the top three assists this year!"

"Although Xu Lang averaged 10.4 assists per game and Kidd still has some gaps, but don't forget that this year's regular season is not over yet!"

"Maybe, in the second half of the regular season, Xu Lang will come from behind and kill the two old guys!"

………………

"Give the ball to Xu Lang, Xu, you can play as you want in this game, and everyone will follow your command."

"…………"

Xu Lang listened to Stephen Nash's tactical arrangement with black lines on his face.

Although Xu Lang is quite happy that he can have tactical freedom and the right to fire freely in this game.

However, Stephen Nash, as the head coach, didn't mention any tactical arrangements, and directly handed over the game to his own players, which also made Xu Lang feel helpless.

That is to say, Xu Lang's performance this season is indeed top-notch, and he can hold back the rookies in 06. Otherwise, Stephen Nash's tactical arrangement is likely to cause some unnecessary riots and conflicts of.

Although Xu Lang was speechless about Stephen Nash's tactical arrangements.

But since the coach has taught him the initiative of the game, Xu Lang naturally does his part!
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Lang felt that it was still impossible to play with players from the Washington Five Tigers as the core players.

After all, Bobby Jones and Joan Bruce are relatively weaker.

However, when Xu Lang planned to play this game with Yi Jianlian, Brandon Roy, Aldridge, and Bruce Thomas as the main core lineup,
After explaining that the game was dominated by Xu Lang, Stephen Nash spoke again.

"Oh, by the way, Xu, there is one more thing, that is, the starting lineup for this game must be your Washington Five."

"........."

"No, then it won't be necessary to use the five of us for the whole game, right? It's also possible to change the lineup in the middle?"

"Yes, yes, but the playing time of the five of you at the same time must occupy at least half of the game."

After listening to Stephen Nash's request, Xu Lang even had some doubts. Is the system doing something wrong?

So in terms of purely tacit understanding, the tacit understanding between Xu Lang and the other four tigers in Washington must be higher.

But if you look at strength and talent, it is obvious that Bruce Thomas, Aldridge, including Paul Millsap's talent, potential and strength are better than Joan Bruce and Bobby Jones.

Originally, this year's first-year team was not as thick as the second-year team in terms of lineup thickness. Now that various restrictions have been imposed, Xu Lang doesn't want to play anymore!
After all, in addition to good statistics, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge also needs to be able to lead the team to victory!

It's just that, originally, Xu Lang thought that the freshman team, which consisted mainly of his teammates from the University of Washington, would have a tough time playing.

Until Xu Lang saw the lineup of the second-year team, Bogut and David Lee were on the inside.

Nate Robinson, Danny Granger, and Monta Ellis in the starting lineup on the perimeter.

Xu Lang suddenly felt like he was doing well again!
