One Guard

The NBA All-Star Weekend is an annual basketball feast, where you can see the hottest stars of this season competing together. All-Star is a special experience, in these wonderful days, players, coaches, tactics, even wins and losses don't matter, everyone is enjoying a big Sho.

Although the All-Star Weekend still looks very hot in Orlando, it is actually not difficult to see that compared with previous seasons, the fans' enthusiasm for the All-Star Game in 2012 is actually not very high. Howard, who is the top voter, only has more than 1.6 million votes, which is only about half of when he won the All-Star vote in 2009. In fact, 2012 had the fewest number of votes for the top spot since 2003.

It is an indisputable fact that the popularity of the All-Star Weekend is slowly decreasing. In fact, the reason why the All-Star Game is no longer so lucrative is also very simple-fans are tired of watching almost the same thing every year.

Even the delicacies made by Michelin chefs, the BA All-Star Game's unchanging competition system has really begun to make fans feel a little aesthetically tired.

So this year, in order to improve the boredom of the fans, the "chef" David Stern began to add some different "seasoning" to the All-Star Game. The competition system of most of the All-Star Games this year has changed, and among them, the rectification of the Rookie Challenge is undoubtedly the most gimmick.

The Rookie Challenge originally divided the rookies of the year into two teams. In 1996, it was changed to the Eastern rookie team against the Western rookie team. In 2000, it was changed to the current first-year rookie team to challenge the second-year rookie team. And today in 2012, the rookie game will break the tradition, and the first and second year players will be mixed to form two teams to fight against each other.

If that's all, the gimmick might not be big enough. Therefore, NBA officials also recruited two highly popular commentators, O'Neal and Barkley, to serve as the general managers of the two teams respectively. The two general managers will use their own preferences to select players to form teams and then play games. There is no doubt that these two old rivals on the screen will definitely bring a lot of talk.

Before the game started, O'Neill and Barkley had been fighting for several days. Although people know that O'Neill and Barkley did this purely for the effect of the show, they have to admit that the teams selected by these two live treasures against each other really whetted the appetite of the fans.

Of course, the most eye-catching event of this year's rookie competition is the duel between Yiyang and Owen! This season, the game in which Irving led the rebuilding Cavaliers to a lore victory over the Mavericks has always been a topic that people talk about. And precisely because Yiyang allowed Owen to complete the lore, the fans also portrayed the two as a pair of sworn enemies.

Because of this, Barkley, who loves Yiyang so much, did not choose Yiyang and Irving to the same team, but deliberately let O'Neill choose Yiyang, so that Yiyang can compete with Irving!

On the day when the Rookie Challenge started, Yiyang came to the training ground early for training. It can be seen that this guy is not going to regard the rookie game as pure entertainment, he really wants to compete with Irving on the court, but he doesn't know if the little champion Irving will give face and fight with all his strength.

When Griffin and Jeremy Lin walked into the training ground at the same time, Yiyang's training vest was already soaked. After seeing Yiyang, Griffin's originally smiling expression disappeared without a trace in an instant. It's no secret that the "White Demonic Beast" doesn't like Yiyang. Last summer, Yiyang and Griffin trained in Brickley's training camp for about a month, but the words they said to each other could be counted on one hand.

Griffin hated Yiyang for taking away his Rookie of the Year award and his traffic and popularity as the number one pick. And Yiyang is also the kind of guy who doesn't care about other people's opinions. If you can't understand me, then don't expect me to greet you with a smile.

Jeremy Lin was caught between the two, looking a little embarrassed. But he still walked over to Yiyang and greeted him warmly.

"Come so early?"

"Well, let's get used to the new venue." Yiyang replied to Jeremy Lin, and at the same time shot the basket on his own.

"Hey Jeremy, this kind of game doesn't have to be too hard, because it's purely for show." Griffin was on the sidelines, and in his opinion, he could win attention by playing casually in the rookie game.

Yiyang didn't answer, as he said before, he doesn't care what others think of him, he only does what he wants to do.

"I'm really excited. I was selected as the starter for the first time in the All-Star Game. Hey Jeremy, I hope this time next year, I can see you on the list of starting point guards in the Eastern Conference!" Jian Yiyang With no response, Griffin stepped up the offensive again.

The first time he was selected for the All-Star Game, he became the starter. This incident once made Griffin very inflated. The crazy praise of him by the Los Angeles media seems to make this white striker start to feel a little bit ecstatic. Last year, Yiyang was selected into the All-Star Game as a rookie, which dealt a big blow to Griffin. This year, he was selected into the All-Star starting lineup as a sophomore, so Griffin will naturally "fight back".

After Griffin finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Yiyang's expression. However, he saw nothing. It's not that Griffin is blind, it's because you can't see any emotional fluctuations on Yiyang's face.

"Fuck!" The feeling of being ignored is perhaps the most frustrating of all. Others don't bother to compare these things, which makes Griffin look like a poor clown desperate for attention.

Jeremy Lin stood between the two and giggled awkwardly. He really hoped that there would be another person now to ease the embarrassment of the scene.

Jeremy Lin is a sincere Christian, perhaps his prayers have been answered by God. The door of the training ground was pushed open suddenly, but the person who walked in did nothing to make the scene more cheerful.

The youthful Kelly Owen walked into the training field in his training uniform. As soon as he stepped through the gate and saw Yiyang, Owen stopped in his tracks. The two looked at each other, as if sparks had been rubbed in their sights.

"Hello, also." After looking at each other for a few seconds, Owen just spoke. It seems that Owen is also very eager to compete with Yiyang in the rookie competition. It's not that Owen and Yiyang have any personal grievances, but that Owen has always been eager to challenge stronger players. Yiyang is undoubtedly the most successful young point guard in the league today. As Irving, who is also a fledgling player, he certainly does not want to give up the position of "the future's number one point guard".

"Hello, Kelly." Yiyang said hello in a cold tone, which was regarded as greeting Owen.

After that, Irving picked up the basketball and walked to the other half, warming up on his own. This rookie game has not yet started, and the tense atmosphere has already spread on the court.

It wasn't until Wall also stepped into the training ground that the atmosphere on the scene finally eased down. Wall is an acquaintance, and he can chat politely with anyone. Otherwise, it's impossible for this guy to become friends with a bad-tempered guy like Cousins.

Furthermore, Wall is not as jealous and vengeful as Griffin. Last year, Yiyang snatched all the honors that could be snatched away, leaving nothing for Wall, the number one pick. From the summer league to the regular season, Yiyang also mercilessly dealt a huge blow to Wall time and time again.

But Wall doesn't hate Yiyang like Griffin, and there is a feeling of heroism between him and Yiyang.

Also from the slums, also on the road to crime, and also on the right track because of his mother. Strictly speaking, Yiyang and Wall should be regarded as the same type of people, and their life experiences are too similar.

"Tomorrow you will face two champions at once, I hope you are ready!" Wall warmly put his arms around Yiyang's shoulders, as if they were two very close friends.

Both Wall and Irving belong to the Barkley team, so tomorrow Yiyang will also face last year's and this year's two champions at the same time. Of course, Wall was just joking with Yiyang, not really a fight.

"Don't worry, John, I'll get rid of Kelly, and I'll get rid of you by the way." Yiyang said this extremely offensive sentence with a smile, but Wall didn't take it seriously at all.

In this training hall, maybe only Wall and Jeremy Lin can smile at Yiyang. After all, there was another guy who hated Yiyang from the bottom of his heart who was not present...

"Hahahaha, John, we can finally fight together again! Come on, the MVP of this year's rookie game must belong to me..." A burst of wild laughter suddenly spread in the training hall, but in the Seeing Wall and Yiyang standing together, the man's voice stopped abruptly.

"Oh, it's DeMarcus...I'm sorry Yi, you know that guy's temper. Hey, but don't be angry, he's really cute!" Wall patted Yiyang's shoulder and said Walked towards Cousins, who was the last to arrive.

Yiyang shook his head, maybe only a nice guy like Wall would find Cousins ​​cute. No, that idiot totally insulted the word cute!

"You don't want to be with that kind of eccentric person, John." Cousins ​​yelled loudly, afraid that Yiyang wouldn't hear him.

Griffin laughed secretly at the side, it seems that there are quite a few people in the training ground who don't like Yiyang.

No way, as an Asian, having such a successful rookie season overwhelmed a field of American talent. It is normal for Yiyang to be unpopular among this group of people. Including Barkley's Evan Turner, must be full of resentment towards Yiyang.

Although Yiyang had nothing to do with Turner's failure, sometimes young players just blame other people for their mistakes.

Griffin is undoubtedly the happiest person in the audience at this time, but he wants to see how badly that guy Yiyang will be targeted after the game starts!

Turner, Irving, and Cousins ​​will definitely defend Yiyang with all their strength and will not give him a drop of water. And I will not give Yiyang any support! If Yiyang calls himself to pick and roll for him, and Griffin shakes his head, then he can only say sorry!

The seemingly calm Rookie Challenge actually has hidden murderous intentions. Before the game even started, all the rookies had already made their plans.

Looking at the few people who were about to draw their swords, Wall sighed. What about a good performance? It seems to have turned into war.
