Chapter 301 All-Star Game
Ibaka received a pass and made a mid-range shot, and then Channing, who was defended, sent a big hot pot.
"Boss, show me some face!"
Ibaka spread his hands helplessly, and was speechless to the boss who likes nests the most.
The game continued, the first grade gradually showed its true strength, and finally overtook the score at the end of the third quarter.
In fact, it can be seen from the lineup that although Oden did not play due to a knee injury, the staffing and hard power of the first grade are a head higher than those of the second grade.
Apart from Durant and Channing, there are no other players who can play in the second grade. Compared with Westbrook, Mayo, Rose, Beasley and others, the second grade team looks bleak.
As the game entered the last quarter, the two sides gradually increased the intensity of the game and began to fight with real knives and guns.
Adu scored consecutive breakthrough layups, Mayo teamed up with Gasol Jr. to respond with 8 points, and Durant hit consecutive three-pointers over Fernandez's head. With two and a half minutes left in the game, the second-year team only took the lead scored two points.
At the critical moment, Channing stepped forward. He no longer passed the ball to Durant, but took over the game himself.
First, he dunked Ibaka under the basket, scored 2+1, and then stole Beasley one-on-one to complete the fast-break counterattack.
After Gasol made two free throws, Channing singled out Beasley and offered a step-back three-pointer to seal the conclusion of the Rookie Challenge.
"Excellent game, the second-year team beat the first-year team 122:119, although the first-year players such as Westbrook and Rose played very well, but at the critical moment, they did not have the level of Durant and Channing. By."
"It is true that the talent in the first grade is amazing, but the second grade has Durant and Channing, the strength of these two people is obviously beyond everyone else. Durant continued to output all night, Channing kept paddling, and the final moment was the final word , ended the game."
Guest commentators James and Gasol made final comments on the game.
It’s time to select the MVP of the rookie game. As an exhibition game mainly for entertainment, a total of 13 players scored in double figures in this game. 29 rebounds, Fernandez 15 points, Ibaka also scored 8 points and 14 rebounds; Scola of the Rockets contributed 9 points and 6 rebounds in the second grade, Brooks 6 points and 6 assists.
Durant made 25 of 17 shots and scored 46 points, surpassing the 2004 points of the 36 rookie game MVP Stoudemire and creating the highest scoring record in this event.
Although Chan Ning scored 8 points in a row at the critical moment, he was too Buddhist before and only scored 12 points in the game. However, he had as many as 17 assists, breaking his personal record.
In the end, Durant successfully won the rookie game MVP trophy, and Adu completed the surpassing of Channing tonight.
Although Channing didn't want to play hard in the rookie game, watching Durant lift the MVP trophy with his own eyes, Channing still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
After all, a player only has the opportunity to participate in the All-Star rookie game in the first two years of his career. Last year's rookie game MVP was snatched away by Gibson of the Cavaliers, and this year was snatched away by Durant. The rookie game MVP trophy was missed.
"Well, since Adu won the MVP of the rookie game, then I will try to win the MVP of the main game!"
On the second day, all the events of the All-Star Weekend began one after another. The No. [-] pick Rose won the championship of the Skills Challenge; the little potato Nate Robinson leaped over Superman Howard and was crowned the dunk king for the second time; Daquan Cook defeated Bibby , Granger, Lewis and other good players won the three-point contest.
Channing and Yao Ming have been spectators for a whole day, and his eyes are addicted. In fact, he also wants to sign up for the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, but these two days will be played in the rookie game and the All-Star game. In the main race, Channing also needed to rest, so he rejected invitations to other competitions.
On February 2009, 2, the highlight of the All-Star Weekend-the East-West match officially began.
The Western Conference All-Star roster includes:
Iverson, Paul, Kobe, Stoudemire, Duncan, O'Neal, Nowitzki, Billups, Roy, Parker, Gasol and David West, of which Iverson and Paul are the backcourt The starting partners, Stoudemire and Duncan are the inside starters, and Kobe is the starting five of the Western All-Stars.
Although Iverson was very unhappy with the Nuggets and the team withdrew from the Western Conference, he still has a high popularity in the hearts of fans, so he tied for the starting lineup with the queen bee Paul who has played his peak performance in the past two years.
It happened that there was a shortage of small forwards in the Western Conference All-Stars. Melon Anthony was unexpectedly defeated for some reason, and Kobe was pushed to the third position.
The Eastern Conference All-Star lineup includes:
Wade, Channing, James, Howard, Yao Ming, Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Granger, Mo Williams, Bosh, Lewis and Joe Johnson, of which Wade and Channing are the starting partners in the backcourt , Howard and Yao Ming are the inside starters, and James is the starting five of the Eastern All-Stars.
The West lacks small forwards and centers. Paul and Iverson are two short point guards who start in the backcourt. Power forwards, two shooting guards, Wade and Channing, will start in the backcourt, and Howard and Yao Ming will play inside.
This is the first time for Channing to play in the All-Star Game. He is very excited to be on the same stage with so many superstars.
In the warm-up session before the start of the game, the All-Stars gathered together to talk and laugh. Kobe was so impressed by this Chinese guy who had just broken his single-game scoring record that he ran over from the West to chat with Channing.
James was very surprised at Channing's progress. Last season, he put pressure on the Cavaliers management more than once, trying to be teammates with Channing. He didn't expect Channing to be a star on an equal footing with him this season. Trading for Channing has also become impossible.
But it doesn't matter, James knows that his contract is about to expire in the summer of 2010, that is, one and a half years, when he can freely decide his next stop, maybe Philadelphia will be a good choice, after all, in such a Among many NBA teams, the Philadelphia team is one of the few teams with very low salary space, which has just passed the poor line.
One and a half years later, there is still the last year of Channing's rookie contract, Yao Ming will renew his contract with a maximum salary, Uncle Mu will retire, Ibaka, Lowry and other players are either still in the rookie contract period, or There will be a slight salary increase, and Philadelphia still has a lot of room. Even if they give Channing a big contract in advance, it will be no problem to get another superstar, at most paying a little luxury tax.
