One Guard

NBA All-Star Weekend is an annual basketball feast. Here, you can see the hottest stars of the season playing together. The All-Star is a special experience. In these wonderful days, players, coaches, tactics, and even victory or defeat are irrelevant. Everyone is enjoying a grand Sho.

Although the All-Star weekend still looks very popular in Orlando, it is actually not difficult to see that compared with the previous seasons, the enthusiasm of the fans for the All-Star Game in 2012 is actually not very high. Howard, the vote king, has only more than 1.6 million votes, which is only about half of when he won the All-Star vote in 2009. In fact, the 2012 "vote king" vote is also the least since 2003.

The popularity of the All-Star Weekend is slowly decreasing, which is an indisputable fact. In fact, the reason why the All-Star Game is no longer so attracting money 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 format for 10,000 years has really begun to make fans feel a little aesthetic fatigue.

So this year, in order to improve the boredom of the fans, the "chef" David Stern began to add some different "condiments" to the All-Star Game. The format of most games in this year's All-Star Game has changed. Among them, the rectification of the Rookie Challenge is undoubtedly the most gimmicky.

The Rookie Challenge originally only 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, with a mix of one or two years old players forming two teams to fight against each other.

If this is the case, the gimmick may not be big enough. Therefore, the NBA officials also hired two popular commentators, Shaquille O'Neal and Barkley, to serve as the general managers of the two teams. The two general managers will select players to form a team based on their preferences and then compete. There is no doubt that the old rivals on these two screens will definitely bring a lot of topics.

Before the game started, O'Neal and Barkley had been fighting for several days. Although everyone knows that O'Neal and Barkley did this purely for the effect of the show, they have to admit that the confrontation between the two teams selected by the two live treasures is indeed stoking the appetite of the fans.

Of course, the most eye-catching aspect of this rookie game was the duel between Yiyang and Owen! This season, the game where Irving led the rebuilding Cavaliers to beat the Mavericks has always been a topic of interest. And it is precisely because Yiyang allowed Owen to complete the lore, and thus the fans also shaped the two into a pair of rivals.

Because of this, Barkley, who loves Yiyang, didn't choose Yiyang and Irving on the same team, but deliberately let O'Neal choose Yiyang, so that Yiyang could fight Irving!

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

When Griffin and Jeremy Lin walked into the training ground at the same time, Yiyang's training vest was already soaked. After Griffin saw Yiyang, his grinning performance instantly disappeared without a trace. "White Monsters" didn't like Yiyang, it was no secret. Last summer, Yiyang and Griffin spent a month or so in training at Brickley's training camp, but they may be able to count everything they have spoken to each other.

Griffin hates Yiyang for stealing his best rookie, and stealing his flow and popularity as the top pick. And Yiyang is also the kind of guy who doesn't care about the eyes of others. If you can't understand me, don't expect me to welcome you with a smile.

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

"Come so early?"

"Well, get used to the new venue." Yiyang answered Jeremy Lin and shot the basket on his own.

"Hey Jeremy, this kind of game doesn't have to be too hard, because it's purely a show." Griffin is on the sidelines, and in his opinion, the rookie game can win eyeballs by playing casually.

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

"I'm really excited, I became a starting player the first time I was selected for the All-Star Game. Hey Jeremy, I hope I can see you on the list of starting point guards in the East at this time next year!" See Yiyang Without a response, Griffin stepped up the offensive.

The first time he was selected for the All-Star Game, he became the starter, and this matter once made Griffin very inflated. The crazy praise of him by the Los Angeles media seemed to make the white striker start to feel a little airy. Last year, Yiyang was selected as a rookie in the All-Star Game, which dealt a big blow to Griffin. This year, he was selected as a sophomore in the All-Star starting lineup, 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 the slightest emotional fluctuation on Yiyang's face.

"Fuck!" The feeling of being ignored is perhaps the most frustrating. Others don't even bother to compare these things, which will make Griffin himself look like a poor clown eager to get attention.

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

Jeremy Lin is a sincere Christian, and perhaps his prayers have been answered by God. The gate of the training ground was slammed open, but the person who walked in could not make the scene more cheerful.

The young Kelly Owen walked into the training ground wearing training clothes. As soon as he stepped into the gate and saw Yiyang, Owen stopped his footsteps. The two looked at each other, as if sparks were rubbing in their sights.

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

"Hello, Kelly." Yiyang said hello in a cold tone, even if he said hello to Owen.

After that, Owen picked up the basketball and walked to the other half and warmed up to himself. This rookie game has not yet started, and the tension has spread on the court.

It was not until Wall also stepped into the training ground that the atmosphere on the scene finally eased. Wall is a familiarity, and can chat with anyone politely. Otherwise, it would be impossible for this guy to become friends with a violent guy like Cousins.

Furthermore, Wall does not have the jealousy and revenge that Griffin has. Last year, Yiyang robbed all the honors that could be robbed, and didn't leave any money for the champion of Wall. From the summer league to the regular season, Yiyang also relentlessly gave Wall a huge blow.

But Wall doesn't hate Yiyang like Griffin, on the contrary, he and Yiyang feel that there are some heroes who cherish heroes.

He also came from a slum, and he was also on the path of crime, and he was 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 have to face two champions at once, I hope you are ready!" Wall enthusiastically embraced 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 the champions of last year and this year at the same time. Of course, Wall was only joking with Yiyang, not really making a statement.

"Don't worry, John, I will get rid of Kelly, and then I will also get rid of you by the way." Yiyang smiled and said this very offensive sentence, but Wall didn't care about it at all.

In this training hall, perhaps only Wall and Jeremy Lin could meet Yiyang's smiling face. After all, there is still a guy who hates Yiyang from the bottom of his heart who is not here...

"Hahahaha, John, we can finally fight together again! Come on, this year's rookie game MVP must be mine..." A burst of wild laughter suddenly spread in the training hall, but in Seeing Wall and Yiyang standing together ~www.novelmtl.com~ the voice of this person stopped abruptly.

"Oh, it's DeMarcus... I'm sorry, you know that guy's temper. Hey, but don't be angry, he is really super cute!" Wall patted Yiyang on the shoulder, then Walk towards the last Cousins ​​who arrived.

Yiyang shook his head, maybe a good gentleman like Wall would think Cousins ​​was cute. No, that silly fork completely insulted the word cute!

"Don't be with that kind of yin and yang, John." Cousins ​​shouted out loud, for fear that Yiyang would not hear it.

Griffin laughed secretly from the side, it seems that there are many people in this training ground who don't like Yiyang.

No way, as an Asian, his rookie season has achieved such a great success, overwhelming an American genius. It is normal for Yiyang to be unpopular among this group of people. Including Evan Turner of the Barkley team, he must be full of resentment towards Yiyang.

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

Griffin is undoubtedly the happiest person in the audience at this time. He wants to see how badly the 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 him up and Griffin shook his head, then he can only say sorry!

The seemingly calm rookie challenge, in fact, hides the murderous intent. Before the game started, all rookies had already made their own calculations.

Looking at the few people who were about to draw their swords, Wall sighed. What about the good performance? It seems that it has become a war.
