Chapter 436
The rookie challenge allowed fans all over the world to see the demeanor of these young people, especially Stoudemire and Ginobili who performed very well. These first-year players have gradually entered the eyes of a large number of fans!
The end of the rookie challenge, although the process is not so exciting, but they really showed people their talent and potential.
For the league, this event is nothing more than some quiz questions before making stars!
Once the two teams have one or even multiple players who receive the attention of a large number of fans, it will undoubtedly be a very good thing for the NBA!
Box office, peripherals, TV broadcasts, and the relationship between players and fans will undoubtedly be the most basic components of the NBA.
At 7 o'clock, after the rookie game, there will be a two-hour break. During this time, fans can enjoy a series of activities brought by the NBA and visit various peripheral stores.
On the second floor of the arena, when a large number of fans were discussing about buying their favorite things, Bruce and West were sitting in the bar, drinking fine wine and chatting comfortably.
"This year's playoffs, judging from our current record, we are very likely to end up in the first or second position in the Western Conference!" West said with great confidence, taking a sip.
"Yes, if it weren't for the crazy performance of the Mavericks this season, we would definitely be number one in the Western Conference!" Bruce nodded with a smile, his confidence was obviously no less than that of West.
While the two were talking, some potential deals were being negotiated!
On the court, after more than two hours of bombardment with various activities, the fans finally ushered in the skill challenge that will be shown in front of the fans for the first time!
The establishment of this sub-event has enabled a large number of outstanding defenders to sign up.
Afterwards, after voting by the fans, Jason Kidd, Marbury, Payton and Parker were finally selected.
Back in the arena, Bruce looked at the four players who were about to participate in the game in the rest area, and couldn't help smiling and said to West: "This season's creation, who do you think will be the first champion?"
"Oh? Isn't it Jason??" West looked at Bruce with feigned surprise, and then laughed loudly: "Judging from the situation of these four players, the one who is most likely to win the championship is obviously Jason Kidd, who has become the number one point guard in the league, and the rest of them have a chance, but I don't think they will win the championship in the end!"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Don't forget Gary and Tony. Their speed and skills are very good!" Bruce said with a smile, and then looked at Tony Parker who was about to play on the court.
In the skill challenge competition, the requirements for the basic skills of the point guard are very strict. Once he makes a mistake in a certain link, he will most likely not be able to enter the final battle!
The rules of the Skills Challenge are also very simple. The participating players must, within the specified time, in the half court full of obstacles, take dribbling, passing and shooting as all the necessary links. If one of the items can be completed, the referee will have the right to finally disqualify him from the competition!
On the court, as the lights flickered suddenly, Tony Parker picked up the basketball and ran out at the same time as the referee whistled!
Looking at Parker who was as fast as a small sports car on the court, Bruce couldn't help flashing a flash of memory in his eyes!
When Parker finally completed the front pass, around the obstacle and other small events, he was suddenly stuck in the small event of entering the top shot!
"It's really a pity!" Seeing Parker who failed to make a basketball within 40 seconds on the court, Bruce couldn't help feeling sorry for him!
With Parker's current ability, although he has shown very good speed and breakthrough, he is still very immature in terms of shooting.
Now, seeing the number of basketballs on the basket decrease one by one, Tony Parker suddenly showed anxiety in his eyes.
When the time was about to run out, Parker finally made the last shot with one basketball left!
When the following small items were over, although Parker's expression seemed very calm, there was still a hint of helplessness in his eyes!
After Parker finished the game, Payton, who was right behind him, came on the field.
In the following small events, Payton really showed his own good competitive state. If it weren't for his speed that has indeed declined a little, I am afraid that the final championship will be very likely to be him!
After that, as Kidd and Marbury played one after another, Kidd directly entered the final with Payton with an absolute advantage!
The duel between two super point guards made the fans who saw this project for the first time cheer excitedly!
When Kidd finally completed all the events in 35 seconds and finally won the championship of this sub-item, all the fans and stars present gave him warm cheers!
With the end of the Skills Challenge, all the fans present were excitedly talking about the next competition!
"Will this year's exhibition match be different?" Bruce whispered expectantly.
This year's exhibition game will still use a combination of legendary stars, WNBA last season's most valuable player, current NBA players and a movie star!
This year, because of the relationship held in Atlanta, the two teams are the Eagles led by Dominique Wilkins and the Los Angeles Gang led by Magic Johnson!
The players and stars sent by the two sides are respectively, the legendary superstar Dominique Wilkins of the Eagles, Jason Terry, the head guard of the current Eagles, and Swan, the most valuable player winner of last season who played for the Houston Comets. The combination of Puth and movie star Muniz.
The team led by Magic Johnson is a combination of Clippers small forward Corey Maggette, Leslie who played for the Los Angeles Sparks in 2002, and movie star Kutcher!
As the two sides walked to the court, fans couldn't help but fell into the memories of the two superstars!
The big screen in the mid-air of the stadium played the highlights of Wilkins and Johnson respectively.
With the emergence of explosive dunks and strange and elegant passes, both the fans and the stars present on the court cheered loudly for the past of the two!
"They are the best!!" Bruce looked excitedly at the two magicians who kept waving around on the court. It was his great regret that he could not see the legendary superstar's game with his own eyes!
"Did Dominic finally forgive the eagle?" West muttered in a low voice, feeling extremely sorry for the man called "the essence of human movies"!
In Wilkins's career, there are jaw-dropping dunks and the experience of going to Europe to play. If it weren't for his loyalty, I'm afraid he would have won the golden championship ring long ago, instead of being a champion now. The team's legendary star is back here!
In the subsequent games, for everyone, the performances accounted for more of the bulk, Johnson still performed very well, and Wilkens' skills just retired, it really makes people feel like time is out of order !
When Wilkins finally led the team to victory, the fans and stars all applauded and paid tribute to the legendary dunker!
"This is a game worthy of people's respect!" Bruce said in a low voice, with reminiscence in his eyes, beating his palms.
At the end of the exhibition game, the highlights of Wilkins and Wilkins were continuously played on the big screen in mid-air, and the fans fell into the beauty of the year!
When the three-point contest was about to start, some fans still shouted into the stadium reluctantly!
In this year's three-point contest, there are some famous players, only Stojakovic, Brent Barry and Persson, who was still a player of the Cavaliers back then, and the other three are players who participated in the first year!
At the beginning of the game, Stojakovic showed his strong state.
As a famous player completes the duel in the preliminary round, it will be a duel between Stojakovic and his old rival Persson in the final!
In the first two rounds of competition, Stojakovic once tied with Persson.
Now, however, as the two of them and Brent Barry advance to the finals, all eyes are on them.
"Will Wesley finally win this championship this year?" West looked at Persson, who was finishing the last goal on the court, and couldn't help secretly looking forward to whether he would win the championship this year!
When it was finally counted that Persson made a high score of 20 points, the fans cheered loudly, cheering for the veteran!
A trace of worry flashed in Stojakovic's eyes. Looking at Persson who kept greeting the audience, he couldn't help worrying about his state!
Later, when he played, some small disturbances occurred on the court, which greatly affected his touch.
When he finally scored only 13 points and was about to congratulate Persson, he was suddenly informed by the referee to continue the game.
"En? What's the situation?" Both Bruce and West were puzzled by the situation. When the staff showed Stojakovic's reason for the game on a big screen, everyone suddenly realized !
It turned out that because of the previous minor commotion, Stojakovic's shot was greatly affected. After discussions between the staff and the referee, a decision was finally made to let him quit the game!
However, Persson, who had already locked the championship before, although he had no meaning for this decision, he was very aware of Stojakovic's ability!
When the results of the final make-up match came out, not only was Persson so depressed that he died, even a large number of fans in the stadium looked at the stadium in astonishment!
"Isn't this too coincidental?" Bruce and West couldn't believe it. Looking at the word "20" lit up on the court, they were all in disbelief at this result!
In the end, because Stojakovic also scored 20 points, the two entered the final overtime!
When the two failed to show enough form due to their own reasons, Stojakovic defeated the frustrated Persson again with a score of 9:5!
"This."
Seeing the final result, everyone felt sorry for Persson's bad luck. Originally, the champion was already in his pocket, but now...
