Chapter 275 The Second-Year Rookie Team

But as soon as the New York media article came out.Not only in China, but even in the United States, it has also been refuted by many colleagues.Most of the rebutters’ points of view are: 1. Yingxiong’s team, the Bucks, has a better record than the Knicks; 2. Yingxiong’s playing time is much less than Gallinari’s, but apart from averaging less points per game, other statistics account for Excellent; 3. Yingxiong's efficiency is unmatched by Gallinari; 4. Yingxiong's style of play is also more suitable for the All-Star Game, and many fans will like it!
Ying Xiong himself has no interest in this kind of verbal battle. Of course he was selected, which shows that the coaching team still recognizes his performance and does not look down on himself because of his low scoring average.

Ying Xiong saw that 8 players other than himself were selected for the second-year lineup. Except for Marc Gasol, who is a second-round rookie, the others are all first-round picks, and all of them are top 10 rookies!

——This is enough to show that, at least for now, the success rate of lottery shows is still very high.Moreover, this can also prove how professional the eyes of NBA scouts are!
When Ying Xiong thought that he would form a team with these people who took a group photo at the draft, he felt like a world away.I thought to myself that I have walked all the way since the draft, stumbled, and was treated like this last season, and I have not given up until now.How difficult it was during the period, only as the person involved can he feel the deepest.According to the current situation, I did not "water" as rumored before, but I am still one of the best nine rookies in the same session.

After Ying Xiong was selected for this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge, many people sent him congratulations.Needless to say, girlfriends and best friends, former teammates in the CBA, national team, and even individual NBA celebrities sent congratulations.

For a while, Ying Xiong's popularity in the United States rose to a higher level.In the NBA, there is still a lot of honor. Even if you are selected for the Rookie Challenge, you can be regarded as a member of the All-Star Game, and you will naturally be a part of the "All-Star" glory.

In the Bucks, in addition to Yingxiong, Brandon Jennings also entered the Rookie Challenge, but he was on the first-year team, while Yingxiong was on the second-year team.For this reason, the local website of Milwaukee put the photos of Ying Xiong and Jennings on the front page.Because apart from the two of them, no one on the team participated in this All-Star Game.

2010年NBA达拉斯全明星周末的流程是这样的：2月13日10:00，新秀挑战赛；2月14日，9:30，依次进行投篮之星比赛、技巧赛、3分球大赛、扣篮大赛；2月15日9:00，全明星正赛。

Before the start of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the No. 2 pick of the second-year team, Derrick Rose, considered participating in the All-Star Game and the Skills Challenge. The league decided to allow him not to participate in the Rookie Challenge, and Anthony Morrow filled his vacancy.

For the second-year team, Rose's absence still has a certain impact on their overall strength.

On February 2, Ying Xiong and Jennings went to the arena to participate in the Rookie Challenge.Before the game started, the 13st grade team and the 1nd grade team had a group photo.

Standing with the best players of the same year on the second-year team, Ying Xiong suddenly felt like he was back in the day when the lottery picks took a group photo together on the day of the draft.

It's just that after one and a half seasons, the lottery picks at that time have all experienced the test of the NBA season, and they are no longer rookies at the time.Everyone's situation is different, and the current situation is also different. I don't know what will happen in the future, and I can only stand the baptism of time.

The head coach of the first-year team is the main coach Daintree from the Nuggets, and the head coach of the second-year team is assistant coach Ewing from the Magic.

The rules of the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge are different from the NBA All-Star Game.The game is divided into two halves of 20 minutes each, with a long timeout of 100 seconds in each half.Players' fouls will not leave the field with 6 fouls, but they will be recorded, and when the cumulative number of fouls by either side reaches 11, they will enter free throws.Overtime is 2 minutes long instead of 5 minutes.

This kind of rule makes it clear that the game is expected to be enjoyable and smooth, and the game will not become intermittent due to frequent timeouts and foul free throws.

The All-Star Weekend is a festival for fans. The outcome of the game is not important. As long as the fans and players are happy and get enough attention, that is the greatest success.

The competition site is full of people. The popularity of the NBA in the United States is still very high.Even though this is the Rookie Challenge and not the All-Star Game, for some fans who cannot buy tickets for the main game, watching a Rookie Challenge is not a bad thing.After all, many of these players will definitely become part of the main game in the future, and rookies may play with more passion.

Facing so many enthusiastic fans, Ying Xiong, who was doing shooting training, was also very excited.He has seen many Chinese and overseas Chinese in the arena, most of them are wearing their No. 25 jersey, which makes him very excited.In addition, some American fans also wear his No. 25 jersey, which is enough to show that he has gradually gained the love of American fans.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge officially kicked off.

Yingxiong was not placed in the starting lineup of the second-year team, but he didn't feel sad about it. Whether he starts or not is not that important to him.He wants to show the basketball skills he currently has to the fans, so that everyone can feel the joy of the All-Star Weekend.Of course, winning this game is also his goal.

After the start of the game, the rookies of the first-year team were newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers. They launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and did not pay attention to the seniors of the second grade.In their eyes, beating the second-year team is what they most hope to achieve.Since the final result of the previous Rookie Challenges was that the 1nd grade team won, it is a very exciting challenge for the 2st grade team to beat the 2nd grade team.

Among the first-year teams, Tyreke Evans from the Kings and Brandon Jennings from the Bucks performed most eye-catching after the opening game.With their outstanding performance, the first-year team took the lead in the 1 minutes after the start of the game.

Ying Xiong was itching to watch from the sidelines, and wanted to go up and make gestures with the aggressive first-year team.Watching the game from the sidelines for 1 minutes, he found that the defensive intensity of the Rookie Challenge was not much higher than that of the All-Star Game.

In this case, the score at the end of the game must be much higher than the score in the regular season game.This is still in the case of only 40 minutes of the game. If it is 48 minutes, the score will definitely be higher.
