The Rookie Challenge has always been the appetizer of All-Star Weekend, with the Rockets having three rookies, Green, Shin Kyung and Tate, and the "Social Flower" TOEFL watching live. Among them, Tate was the only one who lost the draft, counting the back-to-back three young men who fought three times in three days, which was a test of physical strength.
This year's rookie challenge has changed the model of the past team of the United States vs the world team, and has made innovations in both form and rules. The rookie tournament was selected by 28 players, including 12 rookies, 12 second-year students and 4 ignition players, led by 4 head coaches - Rick Barry, Isaiah Thomas, Gary Payton and James Worthy, and the winner advanced to the final. Those who score 50 points first in the promotion round advance to advance, and those who score 25 points first in the final battle will win.
A "Key Ball Challenge" will also be added between breaks, which was originally the most concerned link for Chinese fans, but it is a pity that Zeng Fanbo missed this excellent appearance due to injury.
The rookie tournament 4 team player list and key ball challenge list are as follows:
Green's Worthy team took the lead, against Isaiah. Overall, this duel is boring, the two teams can hardly see the presence of defense, and the intensity is simply not as good as the "community health bureau". But Green continued his recent fiery feel, shooting 8 of 13 from the field and 4 of 9 from three points to score a two-team high of 20 points, capturing 40 percent of the team's points.
But helpless opponents "do not talk about martial arts", and finally Saggers deliberately freed the ball when he took a free throw, hoping to save the suspense at the last moment and increase the ornamentation of the challenge. But the opponent did not seem to buy it, and Bay did not fully understand the "entertainment spirit" of the game after walking on the free throw line, and accepted the game without mercy and two free throws, so that Green's high score was "burned".
It's a shame that if the Worthy team advances and wins, Green has the best chance of getting the rookie MVP.
In the second game, the two sides seemed to have grasped the new format of play, learned the lessons of the Worthy team, and the attitude and enthusiasm were very different from the first game. When the stalemate finally killed the match by just one round, the two teams were stretched out. Especially Tate, the "small strong spirit" is engraved in the bones, the full defensive intensity is full, and the garbage words, sticker defense, and "hugging" have earned enough eyeballs, becoming the most drama-stealing players.
Of course, this spirit is also the reason why he was able to appear in Cleveland as a loser. Then, Tate broke through to face a three-point defense with the ball, a super pull bar killed the game, and the Rockets family on the sidelines went crazy!
In the final showdown, Tate and Shin Kyung joined forces to contribute wonderful moments, scoring 6 points in a row to help the team to surpass, and finally Barry lifted the championship trophy as expected, cunningham glory rookie game MVP.
