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 of the 96 golden generation, and they will show their talents in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

The starting rookies in the East include the forward-guard combination of [Lone Wolf] Marbury, [Rabbit Snake] Kobe and [Block Maniac] Marcus Camby.

The West has the guard group of [Son of the Wind] Nash, [Answer] Iverson and [Gentleman] Ray Allen.

Just these six people partnering, teaming up and facing each other, fans already feel that this All-Star is worth the price of the ticket.

Not to mention, the coaches of the East and West Rookie Games are also well-known figures: "Red Cardinal" Reed Auerbach and Reed Holtzman, who led the Knicks to two championships.

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

With good cards in hand, the interest of the coach in fighting wits and courage will increase greatly.

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

In fact, the battle of this All-Star Rookie Challenge was extremely fierce, and the winner was not decided until the last moment.

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

On the Western side, 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 lonely?"

"But you [Rabbit Snake], when did you learn to eat alone!"

Whether it was Kobe's 31 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, or Marbury's double-double, they all became empty cuts.

The fateful duel between Iverson and Marbury ended, but there was another fateful duel between [Rabbit Snake] and [Gentleman Ray], both of whom participated in the All-Star dunk contest.

Yes, it was the award that Hanamichi won undisputedly last year.

Before the dunk contest, the big screen in the venue repeatedly played videos of Hanamichi's dunks last year, which made the young guys 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 were all eyeing the title of 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 because of his poor performance. The winner between the two was decided in the preliminaries.

Kobe, who had dealt with Ray Allen in advance, made the audience scream with a difficult windmill dunk in the finals. The smoothness of the action made Hua Dao exclaim "reasonable"!

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

In fact, Hua Dao also received an invitation to participate in the dunk contest, but firstly, Hua Dao had already won such an award, and it would not have any effect to win it again. Secondly, Hua Dao thought he was already an old bird, so he would not compete with these 96 rookies!

That's right, even the 96 golden generation is a rookie in front of Hua Dao, even if some of them are older than Hua Dao.

Looking at [Cauliflower Snake] holding the dunk king trophy, with a face as happy as if he had eaten bee feces, Hua Dao is looking forward to playing against the Lakers more and more.

"It seems to be in March, when we play against the Lakers!"

Huamichi estimated the schedule, and then muttered maliciously:

"When the time comes, I'll say to him, rookie! Welcome to the NBA, isn't that wonderful!"

Thinking of this, Huamichi smiled even more happily, while the "Rabbit Snake" on the stage was inexperienced, and seeing Huamichi smiling, laughing, and even laughing wildly at him, he thought it was a recognition from the former dunk king.

"This guy is pretty good!"

(Why do people say that Marbury and Iverson, Kobe and Ray Allen are destined to fight! In the back line of their rookie season, Marbury's versatility and Iverson's brilliance are unique among the rookies of the same year. The two are 183cm and 188cm, and they had a record of fighting each other in the New York Street in 1994. Many people think they are lifelong enemies. In order to create a gimmick, the league created a sense of déjà vu that the two were destined to fight.)

(However, since the All-Star Rookie Game, Iverson has suppressed Marbury, and the latter has become more and more independent in the Timberwolves. David Stern saw that this was not good,They had to find a new gimmick, so after the 1997 draft, they began to create the fateful showdown between Iverson and "half-man, half-god" Carter. )

(So many fans know about the fateful duel between Iverson and Marbury, but they don’t know that it was actually a duel between Iverson and Marbury 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 favored Ray Allen during the draft, and Kobe just couldn’t get a substitute for the former! This is not meant to hurt the chat, but this is the fact)

(Coincidentally, after a few years of comparison, the above four people in the 96th class, Iverson defeated Marbury, Kobe defeated Ray Allen, and in the end, it was Iverson and Kobe who started the fateful duel about the O’Brien Cup, thus shaping the former’s “lone hero” deeds and the latter’s three consecutive championships!)

An event that was talked about by later generations also happened during the All-Star Week. Steve Kerr of the Bulls finally ended his three-year runner-up in the All-Star Three-Point Contest this year and won the All-Star Three-Point Championship in one fell swoop, making him the current and future player with the highest three-point shooting rate well deserved.

(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!)
