God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 205 Three Point Madman
For the players, the All-Star Weekend is their holiday. Although a small number of people need to continue playing, the intensity is not comparable to that of the regular season. For the rest, they should participate in some incidental public welfare activities, and then participate in various competitions. Waiting on the sidelines to cheer for his teammates, let the photographer take a few photos and it's over.

Like Chang Wei, when there is no game to watch, he basically stays in the hotel, surfing the Internet and reading books, and the time passes quickly.But from the second day he came to Washington, he couldn't continue to stay at home, because Harmon also came to watch the All-Stars while the team was on vacation.Chang Wei didn't know much about the WNBA in his previous life, but he always believed that when the NBA held an All-Star game, nine times out of ten there would be no games in the WNBA, otherwise the Shooting Star game would not be justified.

The so-called shooting star is also a very popular game on the All-Star Weekend. It is participated by four teams, each team consists of three players, including an active NBA player, a retired superstar and a WNBA active female player.There are a total of 6 shooting points, and three people shoot separately. The next person can only shoot after the previous person makes a shot. The winner is determined through a round of competition.Of course, according to the timetable of the previous life, this game will not be officially released until 2004, but this does not mean that the WNBA will not have a holiday during the All-Star Weekend. Even if there is no holiday, there is no need to arrange a game!

The arrival of Harmon also further verified Chang Wei's conjecture, but now it is not a matter of discussing whether the WNBA should have a holiday during the NBA All-Star period.Due to work reasons, the couple Chang Wei and Harmon seldom see each other a few times a year except during the offseason. This time, they just took advantage of the All-Star Weekend to make an appointment, so naturally they had to go shopping.However, for someone like Harmon who is in the basketball circle, shopping is of course important, but she still wants to watch the All-Star Weekend game.

Although Chang Wei is still an unknown in the NBA, he can still enjoy the All-Star Weekend with the name of the 76ers. In addition, there are players he knows in the Rookie Challenge, the three-point contest and the main game. Extra tickets are just one word.According to the arrangement of the NBA All-Star Weekend, the first game that attracts much attention is naturally the Rookie Challenge.

The Rookie Challenge is one of the important games of the All-Star Weekend, and it is also an important exhibition game for the rookies of the first and second grades.In most games in history, the rookie team challenged the previous rookie team. A group of coaches will select the best 1 rookie players and second-year players in January to form the rookie team and the second-year team. The assistant coaches of the best-performing teams serve as the team's interim head coaches, and sometimes NBA stars are invited to serve as the team's nominal manager to increase the topicality.

比赛共分为上下各20分钟两个半场。在上下半场各有一次100秒的长暂停，除此以外，上下半场各存在两次强制性商业广告插播暂停，分别在半场的7分钟与14分钟的时候强制进行。如果他们没有在14分钟（新秀队失去暂停机会）以及7分钟（2年级失去暂停机会）时用掉各自的暂停的话，两只球队将自动失去一次100秒长暂停。每支球队半场各有一次20秒短暂停机会。球员的犯规行为将被记录台统计，但是不存在6犯离场的情况。

Benefiting from his strong three-point ability and the team's top spot in the Eastern Conference, Reed was directly selected into the rookie team's starting lineup.By the time Chang Wei and Harmon entered the field, the warm-up of the players on both sides was coming to an end. Reed did not see Chang Wei and the others. Chang Wei did not intend to go up to greet him in order to avoid affecting the state of the game. Whispered up.

"What? You said you suggested that the team choose him?" Harmon's eyes widened in disbelief.

Chang Wei smiled and said: "Yes, I was very optimistic about him at the beginning. Although this kid fell to the second round, I still suggested that the team select him. You see, now that he is selected for the Rookie Challenge, it does not prove my strength." Eyes?"

Harmon rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "If you say you're fat, you're still out of breath. I think your team's management should have a good impression of him, and he's only a second-round pick. The price won't be too high. It has nothing to do with you."

Chang Wei knew very well that sometimes it was impossible to reason with women, so he quickly changed the subject: "Whether it's me or the management, at least Michael is already in our team, I don't know how he will behave later... ..."

Soon Reed proved that Chang Wei's worries were unnecessary.Although he was the lowest pick in the starting lineup and was not in charge of the ball, he still worked hard to keep moving, looking for every gap that could be exploited.The point guard of the rookie team, Amy, has a relatively average offense, so she is willing to share the ball. When everyone else is entangled with the opponent, Reid who is in the open is like a beacon. Amy is almost in tears. Passed the ball over.

Reid didn't waste the opportunity, and directly converted Amy's pass into an assist, and hit a three-pointer with his hand at the top of the arc.The second-year team was noncommittal, and did not send anyone to mark Reed, but Reed soon made them pay the price. He hit three three-pointers in less than 3 minutes of the game, which stunned the opponent. .

The first second-year player to react was also a pitcher, Wally Szczerbiak. He knew that he had no defensive ability. In order to prevent Reed from being so arrogant, he chose a three-pointer.Driven by the two, the game quickly turned into a three-point battle. The rookie team had players such as Reed, Richardson, Stephen Jackson and Mark Jackson, and the second-year team also had Szcerby. Good players like Yake, Andre Miller, Terry and Francis.

The saddest thing is that the two inside players on both sides, Kenyon Martin and Lamar Odom, have completely become pure rebounding machines, and there are almost no shots except for the second offense and the pick-and-roll.Chang Wei couldn't help but laugh, of course it was for Odom, could this guy's three-pointer in his previous life be stimulated in this game?

Because of the gap in the overall level, the rookie team finally lost to the big brother 121 to 127, and the MVP was also taken away by Szczerbiak.But if fans and the media were to choose the best player in the game, it would definitely be Reid. He scored 20 points on 11 of 33 shots from beyond the three-point line, and he can be said to be the top shooter of the new generation.

Seeing Reed's still unconvinced expression, Chang Wei nodded secretly. It seems that this guy can add a little more burden.
