Chapter 217 Three Challenges

德里克罗斯在这场比赛总共拿到了38分8助攻6篮板的数据，此外还有2抢断1盖帽。

Coupled with his continuous confrontation with Lin Ri at critical moments.

The performance is undoubtedly very good.

It can be said that if this game hadn't been for his performance and it was just Lin Ri's solo dance, this game would not have been so exciting.

It was also at a critical moment that Derrick Rose's performance made many experts suddenly discover that the No. 08 pick in [-] had already progressed to this level without knowing it!
Interesting!

"In my opinion, these two guys will become the new rivals of the NBA. Think about it, isn't it very exciting? The two top picks who are only one year apart, their peak periods must overlap, but from the current point of view, the Sun is much ahead, and of course there is still a lot of time left for Derrick Rose!"

"Although the two players are not in the same position, the NBA is never a one-person game. Their confrontation makes me look forward to what kind of performance they will play when they truly mature!"

"OK, I have to admit that I'm already a fan of these two guys. I hope to see more contests about these two guys. There must be a place for these two guys in the future!"

Many experts have opened their mouths to the media and "bundled" these two guys together. It is really exciting to think about it. The champion in 08 and the champion in 09 are both so outstanding!

This puts more pressure on the next champion in 2010!
With these two guys in front, if the 2010 No. [-] pick doesn't hit some "crazy" statistics, it may be difficult to satisfy the fans.

As for the reason, it is probably "easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal"!

I'm used to watching this kind of fight between gods and gods, and then watching the bad ones, I'm not used to it!
Fortunately, the current No. 2010 candidate in [-] is not an idler. He is Lin Ri's junior and is currently leading the Sun Devils to the NCAA's John Wall.

This guy is favored by many experts and is called "the enhanced version of Derrick Rose". From this evaluation, we can see what kind of expectations these experts have for his talent and his performance after entering the league!

It is worth mentioning that tonight John Wall sent a special post to congratulate Lin Ri: "This guy is so incredible. In my opinion, he hasn't used his full strength yet!"

It is not difficult to see from the tone of Twitter that John Wall has a lot of admiration for Lin Ri.

This probably has something to do with him playing the NCAA!
The current NCAA regular season is over. Under his leadership, the Sun Devils have won the first place in the regular season of the Big 2 in the Pacific. However, this year's Sun Devils finally lost [-] games. John Wall failed to lead the team to a regular season record like last year's John Wall, but their configuration is actually no worse than last year's Lin Ri and the three of them.

It was also because of the loss in the regular season that John Wall knew just how difficult it is to not lose a game like Lin Ri did last year.

It was also because he realized the difficulty of this matter that John Wall's attitude towards Lin Ri changed so much.

Now seeing Lin Ri's "50 plus 20" data in the Rookie Challenge, he naturally has to send his blessings!
At this moment, John Wall has fully recognized the title of "Student Lin Ri".

And be proud of it.

……

These discussions about the rookie challenge continued, but the next morning, these discussions immediately changed, and became expectations for today's "three major challenge events".

The "Three Challenges" of the NBA All-Star Weekend can be regarded as a sign of the NBA All-Star Weekend, and the ratings have always been very good.

Originally there were only three-point shooting contests and slam dunk contests, but after the overturn of the "Dream Team" in the 04 Athens Olympics, NBA officials added a "Skills Challenge" to make players realize the importance of basic skills.

However, it is worth mentioning that there are some changes in the second day of this year's All-Stars. In addition to the three major challenge events, a "house" event has been added. Well, to put it simply, it is a mock game. The two contestants shoot in turn. No matter what method is used, as long as the shot is successful, the person behind must imitate his actions.Needless to say, the format of this game is still very novel, which also makes many fans look forward to this "house game", and judging from the list of participants, it is also very exciting. Kevin Durant, who is currently ranked first in the scoring list, participated in this game.

As a new generation of "scoring machine", what big moves Kevin Durant will use at that time will really arouse the interest of fans.

……

In anticipation, the second day of the All-Star Weekend has officially arrived.

On this day, the auditorium on the sidelines looked more star-studded.

That's right, after all, it's the second day of the All-Star Weekend, and the big meal that should be served is also ready now, and it will definitely welcome greater attention. Such side seats are full of exposure, which naturally attracts a large number of stars.

Including some top stars.

For a qualified star, it is necessary to maintain the necessary exposure and appearance rate. Even those stars who use mystery as a label, you can always hear something about them...

Of course, the most active and retired NBA stars who sat on the sidelines were Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Wade and others. In addition, "Big Bird" Bird and "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, this group of "Top 50 NBA History" stars also came to the scene today.

Each look with anticipation.

Obviously, tonight's challenge is something they've been looking forward to...

Even from their expressions, it was not difficult to see that they already had some expectations for tonight's challenge.

Lin Ri is also on the sidelines, with James Harden sitting on his left and Stephen Curry sitting on his right. The third brother cooperated well at the last moment last night, which also allowed them to form a silent tacit understanding at this moment.

Speaking of which, the two of them didn't have too much playing time in yesterday's Rookie Challenge. Steve Curry only got about 20 minutes of playing time, scoring 14 points and 4 assists. James Harden's playing time was a little less, only about 17 minutes, and the statistics were not very good, only 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

There is no way, 09 is the "big year of guards". Among the so many rookies selected, most of them are outside players.

Fortunately, the two of them had a good time, especially James Harden, who had not cooperated with Lin Ri for a long time. He found that the tacit understanding between the two of them was still there, and the tactical arrangement at the last moment also reminded him of the glorious moment in the NCAA.

After all, his current life in the Thunder is not going well.

When things go wrong, it is easy to recall the past!
The first thing to start is "Shooting Star", which is a competition event before the start of the "Three Challenges".

This game is played as a team, with a total of four teams participating. Each team consists of an NBA player, a WNBA player, and a retired NBA player. The content of the game is similar to that of fixed-point shooting. The only novelty is that the last point is the logo of the stadium.

The team with the least time at the end wins!

It can be seen from the entire process of the game that the most exciting part of "Shooting Star" must be the final logo shot. Think about it, when the shooter throws the ball from that position, draws a high arc and then falls into the basket. During this period, the fans sitting in the audience will definitely focus on this ball to see if it will fall into the basket.

And this is indeed the most interesting aspect of this game.

In the past, when each team made a super-long three-point shot at the final logo, there would be huge cheers from the scene.

This year... is no exception. Just like in previous years, when each team made the final ultra-long three-point shot, the audience cheered one after another, and then when the ball was finally made, the entire scene finally became a sea of ​​cheers!

This scene happened five or six times.

In the end, Chris Bosh's team won the final "Shooting Star" championship.

After Chris Bosh and his teammates held up the championship trophy and walked off the field, the atmosphere at the scene has become completely lively.

Well, this can be regarded as the main function of "Shooting Star" - to warm up the field!
After the whole scene became heated, the "Three Challenges" officially started...

First up is the Skills Challenge.

The players participating in this year's skill challenge are not small, namely Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Deron Williams, Steve Nash and Jennings!

All guards.

And this year it's all point guards.

Speaking of which, the champion of the "Skills Challenge" is also called by many experts as "the ability of the point guard to prove his basic skills". After all, for a guard, the three abilities of dribbling, shooting and passing are their basic skills. A guard with solid basic skills will reassure the team's head coach and give them the ball to command.

In other words, if a guard wants to be in the position, he must prove in these three aspects.And the "Skills Challenge" will test the three aspects of dribbling, shooting and passing...

However, because this event has just come out not long ago, many star guards rushed to participate, and it has not yet become an occasion for some point guards to hand over their "voting certificates" to the team.

For example, the one who participated in the "Skills Challenge" this year was the Bucks' current main point guard Jennings. The others, except for Westbrook, are all All-Star point guards, and Westbrook, if nothing else happens, will also be on the All-Star bench next year. From this, it can be seen that this is not a place for ordinary players to prove their abilities.

Of course, it's not just the "Skills Challenge". The "Slam Dunk Contest" and the "Three-Point Shootout Contest" are also the same. They are competitions that require a certain amount of popularity to participate in.

NBA stars at the moment are willing to show themselves on the All-Star Weekend.

The challenge began soon. The first player to play was last year's champion and this year's defending champion Derrick Rose. When he walked on the court with his hands, there was a lot of cheers on the scene.

It seems that his performance in the Rookie Challenge yesterday helped him attract the attention of a large part of the fans.

However, Derrick Rose did not perform very well in his first appearance. When passing the ball, he made two or three mistakes before passing the ball in. After that, he also encountered some problems in shooting.

It's not a bad time, but it's definitely not a good time either.

Fortunately, this is only the preliminaries, and this result might make it to the finals...

Derrick Rose stood on the sidelines, thinking with some unease, as the defending champion, although it is not necessary to successfully defend the title, it would be too miserable if he was eliminated without even reaching the final.

That's not what Derrick Rose wants to see.

Soon, Derrick Rose saw some good situations. Jennings and Westbrook made mistakes one after another. The former was blocked for nearly 5 seconds in the passing pass, which made his score only 33.8 seconds, which was worse than Derrick Rose.

"It can be seen that as more and more offensive-oriented No. [-] players enter the league, the skill of passing has become less and less important!"

Bill Walton looked at the situation and shook his head slightly. He didn't know what to say. Five years ago, it was hard for him to believe that the passing ability of defenders in the league would be a problem.

But now, it's really becoming a problem.

yes!

Derrick Rose looked at Westbrook's final results, and the expression on his face was obviously relaxed. These two guys are lower than his results. Now no matter what the results of Deron Williams and Steve Nash are, anyway, he can definitely enter the finals.

okay!

Even if you lose, you will have no regrets!

Derrick Rose can finally watch the game properly.

"Shut up!"

Next up was Steve Nash, and as he was on the court, there was a small but noticeable booing, no need to guess, from some Dallas fans who still couldn't let go of Steve Nash's departure.

And these boos also made Steve Nash's entire expression serious...
