NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

In addition to the All-Star Game, this year's All-Star Rookie Game also made fans excited.

This is the first All-Star clash for the 96 golden generation, and they will show their talents in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

The rookie starting lineup in the Eastern Conference includes the forward-guard combination of [lone wolf] Marbury, [rice snake] Kobe, and [shot-blocking maniac] Marcus Camby.

The Western Conference has a group of guards including "Son of the Wind" Nash, "The Answer" Iverson and "Gentleman" Ray Allen.

Just seeing these six people partnering, teaming up, and competing against each other makes fans feel that this All-Star game is worth the price of the ticket.

Not to mention, the coaches of the Eastern and Western Conference Rookie Games are also well-known figures: "Red" Red Auerbach and Red Holzman, who led the Knicks to two championships.

Both of them were included in the list of the 75 greatest coaches in NBA history selected for the 15th anniversary of the NBA.

With good cards in hand, the coach will be more interested in a battle of wits and courage.

The main generals have a fateful duel with each other, so they will naturally not miss any opportunity to compete and show off.

In fact, the All-Star Rookie Challenge was so intense that the winner was not decided until the very last minute.

Marbury and Iverson fought a fateful battle, but Iverson had the last laugh. In the end, Iverson made 11 of 7 shots and scored 19 points efficiently. In addition, he contributed 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, leading the Eastern Conference Rookie Team to a narrow 96-91 victory over the Western Conference.

In the West, Marbury and Kobe looked at each other.

"What a coincidence, you are so lonely too!"

"Nonsense, I'm called Lone Wolf, how can I not be alone?"

"But you, a [claw snake], when did you learn to eat alone!"

不论是科比的31分8篮板3助攻2抢断1封盖，还是马布里的两双成绩都沦为了空砍。

The fateful duel between Iverson and Marbury has ended, but there is still a fateful duel between [Rapeseed Snake] and [Gentleman Thunder], and both of them participated in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

That’s right, it’s the award that Hanamichi won undisputedly last year.

Before the dunk contest, videos of Hanamichi's dunks from last year were repeatedly played on the big screen in the venue, which made the young men participating in this year's dunk contest eager to try and excited.

In addition to Kobe and Ray Allen, Michael Finley of the Mavericks, Bob Sura of the Cavaliers, Devin Ham of the Nuggets and Chris Carr of the Timberwolves are all eyeing the title of Slam Dunk King.

After the first round of dunks, Kobe scored 37 points and narrowly entered the finals as the third place, while Ray Allen did not enter the finals due to poor performance. The winner between the two was decided in the preliminaries.

Kobe, who had dealt with Ray Allen in advance, made a difficult windmill dunk with a crotch-changing switch of hands in the final, which made the audience scream. The movement was so smooth that even Hanamichi exclaimed "reasonable"!

This dunk earned Kobe 49 points from the judges, beating Karl's 45 points and Finley's 33 points, and crowned him the champion of this year's dunk contest. By the way, he also became the youngest dunk champion in league history.

In fact, Hanamichi also received an invitation to participate in the dunk contest, but firstly, Hanamichi had already won such an award, and there would be no effect in winning it again. Secondly, Hanamichi thought he was already a veteran, so he would not compete with these 96 rookies!

That’s right, even the golden generation of 96 are rookies in front of Hanamichi, even though some of them are older than Hanamichi.

Looking at Ragu Snake holding the Slam Dunk trophy and with a face as happy as if he had eaten bee poop, Hanamichi is increasingly looking forward to the match against the Lakers.

“It seems like it was in March when we played against the Lakers!”

Hua Dao estimated the schedule, and then muttered maliciously:

"When the time comes, just say to him, 'Rookie! Welcome to the NBA!' Isn't that wonderful?"

Thinking of this, Hanamichi smiled even more happily, while the "Rapunzel" on the stage was inexperienced and seeing Hanamichi smiling, laughing and even laughing wildly at him, he thought it was recognition from the former Slam Dunk King.

"This guy is pretty nice!"

(Why is it said that Marbury and Iverson, Kobe and Ray Allen are in a fateful battle! In the backcourt of their rookie seasons, Marbury's versatility and Iverson's brilliance were both unique among the rookies of the same year. The two were 183cm and 188cm tall, and they had a record of fighting each other on the streets of New York in 94. Many people believe that they are lifelong enemies. In order to create a gimmick, the league created a sense of déjà vu that the two were in a fateful duel.)

(However, since the All-Star Rookie Game, Iverson has been overshadowing Marbury, and the latter has become more and more independent in the Timberwolves. David Stern saw that this was not going to work and had to find a new gimmick, so he began to create a fateful duel between Iverson and [half-man, half-god] Carter after the 97 draft.)

(So ​​many fans know about the fateful matchup between Icahn and Kawhi Leonard, but they don’t know that it was actually a matchup between Icahn and Maverick when they first entered the league.)

(As for the comparison between Kobe and Ray Allen, in fact, the initial comparison was passive, including the fact that the Lakers first picked Ray Allen during the draft, and Kobe just couldn't get a replacement for the former! This is not meant to be offensive, but this is the fact)

(Coincidentally, after a brief few years of comparison, Iverson defeated Marbury and Kobe defeated Ray Allen. In the end, it was Iverson and Kobe who started the fateful duel for the O'Brien Cup, which led to the former's "lone hero" and the latter's three consecutive championships!)

Something happened during the All-Star Week that was talked about by later generations. Steve Kerr of the Bulls finally ended his three-year runner-up streak in the All-Star Three-Point Contest and won the All-Star Three-Point Championship, making him the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in active service and even in the future, worthy of the title.

(In 1994, Steve Kerr participated in the three-point contest for the first time and was defeated by Cavaliers point guard Mark Price. In 1995, Kerr participated again and was defeated by the Heat's Glen Rice. In 1996, Kerr participated for the third time and lost to Wizards shooter Tim Legler. It was not until 1997 that Kerr scored 22 points in the final and won the three-point contest championship!)
