Chapter 79 Rookie Challenge ([-])

Jiang Yan and the others are training tactics there, which is actually a tactic, that is, give the ball to Jiang Yan and let Jiang Yan distribute the ball!
This is the only tactic of the Barkley team. As for the O'Neal team, Jiang Yan is not sure!
But looking at O'Neill's huge body surrounded by many rookies, and then pretending to be scratching there with a tactical board, his thick lips are still moving there!

Soon, a few hours of training time passed, Jiang Yan didn't understand much about tactics, but she did have a little understanding of the shooting habits of other players!
Jiang Meiqi left the arena not long after she arrived. She also had tickets for the game, a complete set, which was officially given by the NBA!

Jiang Yan and the others need to change into a suit and wear a suit. This is because at 12:30 noon, every player participating in the All-Star game, whether they are superstars or rookies, must participate in the All-Star interview!

In fact, this is also a benefit of participating in the All-Star Game. After all, for NBA players, media exposure is also very important, and the size of the endorsement contract that the player bears can be related to these!
Jiang Yan is fine, after all, he does not lack media exposure, and his exposure in China is unmatched by outsiders!
And as a rookie who can cause trouble, his news is one piece after another!

Others are different, just like Leonard of the Spurs, he lacks media attention!
As a defensive champion trained by the Spurs, he has no endorsement contract at all, and the contract that Nike gave him is more than 100 million a year!

As for other endorsement contracts, there are not many.

San Antonio is a small city. Although the team has a good record, the market is so big, and teams like the Spurs have never been favored by the league, so the lack of media attention is understandable!

Leonard didn't seem to be silent, but he was used to being poor since he was a child, but he paid great attention to money.

Even rich third generations like Jiang Yan value money very much, let alone players like Leonard!

During the interview, Jiang Yan behaved mediocrely, with few outrageous words or disrespectful behaviors, so she passed the interview for several hours peacefully!

Of course, the media's attention is still on James and Kobe, after all, they are the protagonists of the All-Star Game!

Jiang Yan also saw a Kobe who was completely different from what the media described. They all said that Kobe liked the media, but in this interview, Kobe flattered the media reporters very well!

Look like hello, me, everyone!

Jiang Yan also saw the old-fashioned James talking on it.

Speaking of James, did Paul introduce the two just now?
James is very enthusiastic and treats Jiang Yan like a good brother, making Jiang Yan seem to have a good relationship with him!

Hypocrisy, hypocrite, Yue Buqun!

This is Jiang Yan's evaluation of James!
……

At 09:30 in the evening, the Rookie Challenge officially begins!
Barkley's starting lineup is:

Point Guard: Jiang Yan (Kings)

Shooting guard: Beal (Wizards)

Small Forward: Leonard (Spurs)

Power Forward: Tristan Thompson (Cavaliers)

Center: Vucevic (Magic);
O'Neal's starting lineup:
Point guard: Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers)

Shooting Guard: Damian Lillard (Blazers)
Small Forward: Gilchrist (Bobcats)
Power Forward: Harrison Barnes (Warriors)
Center: Zeller (Cavs).

Compared with the Barkley team, the average height of the O'Neal team is undoubtedly shorter, so the transition speed on the court is unmatched by the Barkley team!

In fact, O'Neal also imitated the Kings' large and small lineups to line up!
He still wanted to disgust Jiang Yan a little. After all, Jiang Yan didn't end up in his team, but in Barkley's team!
Vucevic and Zeller scrambled for the ball on the field, and at the referee's whistle, they both jumped up!
In the air, the two even fought with their bodies!

However, Vucevic's physical fitness is better, and Zeller's body is slightly thinner at the center position!

Being hit by Vucevic in the air, Zeller's upward trend was delayed, and finally the ball was transferred to the backcourt of the Barkley team!
Jiang Yan was standing in the backcourt, so he naturally got the ball!

Jiang Yan dribbled the ball slowly towards O'Neill's backcourt, and Irving was still defending Jiang Yan!

Jiang Yan and Owen are old rivals. Jiang Yan admires Owen's singles ability, while Owen admires Jiang Yan's passing ability!

So Owen didn't step forward to defend Jiang Yan. In his opinion, since Jiang Yan's pass cannot be prevented, it is better not to defend, and this is the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

This is a show, and it was the same as the playoffs at the beginning of the game. Although he has not participated in the playoffs, this is not in line with the official purpose of the league to hold the All-Star Rookie Challenge, isn't it?

So he was one step away from Jiang Yan, and he had no tendency to lean forward at all!

Seeing this, Jiang Yan has no reason not to shoot. Just outside the three-point line, raising his hand is a three-pointer!
He didn't know how many times he had practiced this trick, and in the first half of the season, all the teams the Kings played against liked to defend him like this!
"brush!"

First ball hit!
Barkley, who was sitting on the coach's bench, jumped up straight away, took a big step on the sidelines, and looked at O'Neal on the other side with a provocative face!
Of course O'Neill couldn't bear it, he couldn't lose to someone like Barkley!
Standing up straight away, he said to Owen who had just dribbled past him, "Owen, give him back one!"

After hearing this, Irving nodded to O'Neal on the sidelines and played the answer ball. He, Kyrie Irving, has never been afraid of anyone!
I saw that Owen faced Jiang Yan and dribbled the ball continuously under the left and right crotches, directly shaking Jiang Yan so that he didn't know where Owen was going to break through!

Then when he saw that Irving was about to break through to his left, he immediately took a step back, trying to defend, but Irving took a step back directly, came outside the three-point line, and made a step-back three-point jumper!

Irving's three-pointers are actually very accurate, but compared to his fancy dribbling and powerful breakthroughs, his reputation is not obvious!

With such a step-back three-pointer, there is no reason for Irving not to make a shot, and he went straight to the basket!

3: 3.

Everyone in the audience, except for Lawrence and Jiang Meiqi, was very excited!

Because the most exciting thing about basketball is competition!
Only a strong and passionate confrontation can make fans love watching more!

Stern and Silva, who were sitting in the VIP, nodded. In the eyes of the two of them, the confrontation between Jiang Yan and Irving is like a star!
In fact, Lawrence also came to Houston, and also knew that Jiang Meiqi had come to the United States, so he didn't contact Jiang Yan for a while.

After all, she still couldn't face Jiang Meiqi without changing her face, even though she had ulterior motives!

It is also normal to come to Houston to watch the All-Star Game.

The All-Star Game is an annual event, and the media exposure rate is very high. She, who lacks exposure rate recently, undoubtedly needs this opportunity very much!

……

Jiang Yan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. This time he will not attack by himself. Since the whole team has given him the ball, he has the responsibility to distribute the ball well so that everyone can enjoy the power from him. The benefits of hand passing!
This is also the fundamental purpose of the point guard!

Standing outside the three-point line, he waved at Vucevic, signaling him to take a position on the baseline.

Then after he got a good position, he passed the ball to Vucevic with a ground pass.

After Vucevic got the ball, without saying a word, he directly crushed the thin Zeller with his body.

What can Zeller do, instead of letting Vucevic make a buckle like an angry little lady!

Then there was warm applause from the audience, encouraging Vucevic's toughness and passion, and Zeller blushed a little!
After receiving the ball, Owen said a word to Zeller, and then slowly came to the frontcourt.

It was still the same fancy dribble, and then directly shook Jiang Yan's center of gravity, and directly broke into the inside line, which directly made the fans open their mouths to watch!

Irving's breakthrough is really pleasing to the eye, comparable to Iverson of the 76ers! (In my personal opinion, Irving's breakthrough is really fancy)

However, did Irving break into the paint and ask Vucevic?

As a traditional center, the basket is his field!

I saw Vucevic directly abandoning Zeller and meeting Irving who rushed in.

However, Owen was not afraid of Vucevic, and jumped up and ran into Vucevic.

Vucevic is happy to see this, but he is afraid that a defender will resist him in the air!
But Irving is not a fool. While fighting Vucevic in the air, he switched the ball with his left and right hands, and then passed the ball straight to Zeller standing under the basket with his left hand!

Zeller had been waiting there for a long time, because what Irving called him to say just now was to let Zeller wait for him to pass the ball under the basket!
Zeller got the ball and it was an upright dunk!
Although he is very thin, his aura is comparable to that of the previous Vucevic!

The audience was even more excited when they saw this. The one-on-one confrontation was too suitable for their taste. They couldn't help but stood up and whistled!
Stern nodded again in the box. This year's rookie challenge is very interesting. It seems that the fans and audience will be very satisfied!

Silva smiled slightly, looking neither proud nor complacent, but also reserved!

Jiang Yan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt as before with no expression on her face. She just saw Owen dribbling in a flashy way, and then thought that Jiang Meiqi was also on the sidelines, so there was no reason not to show her off!
I thought about it and made it!
I saw that Jiang Yan suddenly changed her usual steady dribbling method, and made out the dribbling method she used to play streetball in her previous life!
Although in the eyes of streetball masters like Irving, it's terrible!
But in the eyes of these fans at the Toyota Center, fancy is good-looking, regardless of whether it is full of flaws in Owen's eyes!

Jiang Yan is a flamboyant person!
So facing Irving, he also made a fancy breakthrough. Unfortunately, the man passed, but the ball went in Irving's hands!
"Hahaha………"

This funny scene made all the audience roar with laughter. I thought Jiang Yan was going to make a fancy breakthrough, but it turned out to be such a funny scene!
Jiang Meiqi even hid her face, she was very afraid that someone would find out that she had something to do with Jiang Yan, it was embarrassing!
However, the director chose to give the camera to Jiang Meiqi. The media reporters were everywhere, how could they not know that Jiang Meiqi is Jiang Yan's fiancée!

Otherwise, why don't these unscrupulous media continue to hype the scandal between Jiang Yan and Lawrence?
