NBA official announcement
This season's All-Star Rookie Game will change the format
Since the first edition was held in 1994
The NBA All-Star Rookie Game has 2 formats
The first format to be used is the first and second grade matchups
After 15 years, it was changed to Team World and Team USA
This is also a major strategy for the NBA's globalization
By this year
The NBA changed again
There are 2 major new changes
First, there were 28 participants
Except for first and second grade players
There are also players from the G-League Ignition Team
There are 12 players in the first and second grades
The ignition team consisted of 4 people
There are 28 people in total
This is the Ignition Team and the first time the Development League has appeared in the NBA All-Star Game
As a front-line position to attract young geniuses
The NBA has great support for the ignition team
Then the rookie pre-game
The participating teams will be divided into 4 teams
Each team has 7 players
Includes 1 player from the Ignition Team
Players choose similar to the All-Star Draft
The difference is that the NBA players participating in the competition are voted by the NBA assistant coach
The players of the Participating Ignition Team are voted by the head coach of the G League
From that perspective
Chinese striker Zeng Fanbo is expected to participate
After all, there are 4 seats
Choose who in addition to the reference strength
The market behind it is also considered
The NBA from a certain perspective
It can be said to be an APP
Nature needs to create hot spots for activities
Reach a larger fan base
Get more traffic
Start with that
Savvy school flowers should not miss this marketing opportunity
furthermore
From Zeng Fanbo's personal point of view
He's been in good shape lately
Last game starter played the Long Island Nets
In the 25 minutes, he shot 3 of 8 and had 6 points and 6 rebounds
The match on January 22
He came off the bench for 24 minutes and scored 10 points on 4-of-8
It was his first time in the G League to score in double figures
Just look at the data
Would feel very general
But a closer look will tell you
It's not easy
The first is Zeng Fanbo's own injury
There are different degrees of injuries to the feet and legs
Second, everyone in the G League wants to come out
Get the ball and do it
So there is very little cooperation
Simply put, Zeng Fanbo fought in a group of lone wolves
Rely on these sporadic passes to get high scores
Hard thing
Overall
In the team
Zeng Fanbo's status is in the first 5, 6 like this
Plus there is a big market for endorsement
The chances of being selected are quite large
Then let's talk about the reform of the format
The places for reform are as follows:
1: Four teams of 7 players compete in a mini-tournament with a total of 3 matches. Each game will have a specific score target;
2: The head coach of the four teams will be a member of the 75 stars, and the assistant coach will be a member of the all-Star Game;
3: The overall schedule is: The semi-finals are played by team A against team B and team C against team D. The two winning teams will meet in the final;
4: The game will include the goal of "prioritizing 75 points" to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the NBA;
5: Semi-finals will be the first to reach the goal of 50 points. The final will be the first to reach the goal of 25 points. The semi-finals and finals total 75 points.
We've seen the target scoring system
Not much more
Mainly the format of the entire tournament
A few years ago
The NBA intends to launch an in-season tournament
Emulate the Champions League
Last December
ESPN reports on the league and unions discussing tournaments
The general content is the group stage in December, and the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals are played before Christmas.
Members of the winning team each receive a prize of 1 million
It is worth mentioning
The WNBA piloted this format
The prize money is only 5W
This rookie game reform
It can be seen that the NBA is still innovating
But what's the effect
It depends on the specific implementation
