As soon as Yang came to Houston this time, he participated in two games, namely the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game.Originally, he still wanted to participate in the three-point contest, but in the new season, the NBA officially announced the new game rules for this All-Star Game.

Challenges (including Shooting Star Contest, Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shootout Contest and Slam Dunk Contest) will be changed from the previous players fighting individually to the way that the eastern and western teams form teams to participate.Each participating team sets up a captain, and the two sides compare by calculating the total score of the four challenge events, and the side with the higher score will become the champion of the 2013 All-Star Challenge night.

If there is personal honor, he can still join in the fun.But team competitions are really boring. If he has the energy, he might as well stay by Su Ling's side and take a rest by the way.

It's been half a season in the league, and now it's a serious rest time, it's a pity not to be lazy.Besides, he is famous enough now that he doesn't need to rely on these performances to gain popularity and increase his popularity.

……

The NBA All-Star Game held in Houston this time is the 62nd All-Star Game in NBA history. TNT has broadcast the game live for the 11th consecutive year. Fans from 215 countries and regions have obtained the most detailed reports and services about the All-Star Game through NBA digital, TNT and ESPN.

Last season's best rookie Kyrie Irving and 18 young players including Yang Yi and Anthony Davis in the new season were selected for the Rookie Challenge.

This year's rookie game still uses a mix of first-year and second-year players. Each team will have 9 players. The list of players participating in the rookie game is selected by the assistant coaches of each team in the NBA.

Anthony Davis and Yang Yi will become the focus of attention of the first-year freshmen. Davis averaged 7.6 rebounds per game this season, tied for the first place in the rookie list, and 1.8 blocked shots topped the list; Yang Yi averaged 45.3 rebounds per game. [-] points topped the rookie list, of course, also topped the league, and won the Rookie of the Month consecutively.

In the second grade, Kyrie Irving is undoubtedly the most shining star. This season, Irving averaged 23.9 points, 5.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and his shooting percentage reached 47%. Last season, he scored 34 points in the rookie game. Rookie Game MVP.In addition, the Rockets' Parsons also successfully entered the list.

This year's rookie game is still divided into Charles - Barkley team and Shaquille O'Neal team, Barkley and O'Neal will still serve as the team's head coach.Among them, O'Neal is the first-year head coach and Barkley is the second-year head coach.

Barkley originally wanted to be elected as Yang Yi, but he failed to compete with O'Neal who also wanted a fat man, so he had to choose Lillard in the end.

Roster of first-year players for the Rookie Challenge:

Yang Yi (Hornets), Anthony Davis (Bobcats), Damian Lillard (Blazers), Harrison Barnes (Warriors), Bradley Beal (Wizards), Andre - Drummond (Pistons), Alex Sheved (Timberwolves), Dion Waiters (Cavaliers), Tyler Zeller (Cavaliers).

The sophomore roster for the Rookie Challenge:
Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers), Faried (Nuggets), Brandon Knight (Pistons), Kawhi Leonard (Spurs), Chandler Parsons (Rockets), Klay Thompson ( Warriors), Tristan Thompson (Cavaliers), Vucevic (Magic), Kemba Walker (Bobcats).

But before the start of the challenge, the O'Neal team and the Barkley team must first carry out the following three activities.

21:[-]: Rookie Challenge training; [-]:[-]: All-Star interview; [-]:[-], the Rookie Challenge officially begins.

"Anthony, how are you going to play the next game? The second grade doesn't seem to have the inside line that can handle you!" During training, Yang Yi said to Davis with a smile.

Coming into the league, their relationship is better than it was at Kentucky.At least the contact between the two has increased a lot compared to before, and they have more common topics.Although the two are always compared by the media, they both know in their hearts: they are no longer on the same level!
"Don't say that, The One, can't second-year perimeters stop you?" Anthony yelled at the fat man after he made a mid-range shot.

"They can't stop my attack, but I can't stop Irving either! That guy is too aggressive to play, he always shows off a set of dazzling moves, and he will be teased if he is not careful." Yang Rubbing his hands together, he said dejectedly.

In the regular season game against the Cavaliers, he has already tried Irving's martial arts, but except for close defense, it is difficult for him to block Irving's offense.

"Don't worry! Irving will leave it to me later. As long as he dares to hit the inside line, he must be treated to hot pot." As the rookie's block leader, Davis said this with force and confidence.

Seeing that the two rookies, Yang Yi and Anthony, stopped to chat instead of training, and the rest of the second graders were immersed in training, Fat Shark sitting on the sidelines couldn't sit still.He stepped forward and joined the chat between the two.

"The One, you have to behave well later on. I'm optimistic about you. But if you don't behave well, wouldn't I lose face in front of Charles?" O'Neal stood in front of the fat man and said in a low tone.

Although his tone was low, his excited expression betrayed his true inner thoughts.Barkley is known as the first "Yang Chuan", but he failed to be the head coach of Yang Yi, which made the Sharks somewhat proud.

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine!This was the real thought in Fat Shark's mind at the moment.

"Shaq, it's not a problem against the Barkleys, but I don't want to play too long, and it's not very interesting to play against those guys." O'Neal looked excited, but Yang Yi was a little frivolous.

Anthony opened his mouth aside, but he couldn't say anything.Yang Yihe was really different when he was in Kentucky. When it came to the match against the second grader, his expression was so indifferent, as if he was about to play against a passerby, and he didn't take his opponent seriously at all.

"You boy, you are so crazy!" The shark was a little surprised by the arrogance of the fat man. "Although the strength of the second-year pair is not very good, Irving, Leonard and Thompson are still quite promising. Are you so sure that you can beat them?"

"Hey, actually I'm not too sure, but we still have Anthony, don't we?" The fat man skillfully changed the subject, throwing the blame on Davis.

In fact, he has no other ideas, but to take advantage of everyone's excitement to take a break, so that he can better adjust his physical fitness in the following regular seasons, instead of buying physical recovery potions at the end of every game to persevere .

And the system upgrade is coming soon, so save as much energy as you can.For this, he can even give up the MVP of the rookie game.
