NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

In this Rookie Challenge, the head coaches of the two teams are also very interesting.

The head coach of the world team turned out to be veteran Dirk Nowitzki.

The head coach of the US team is the retired Tim Duncan.

Both are top power forwards in the world.

One represents the world team and the other represents the US team.

It was just too fitting.

The starting lineups of the two teams soon appeared on the big screen in the arena.

The starting lineup for the US team.

Point guard: D'Angelo Russell.

This guy really hasn't fulfilled his talent until now.

According to news, the Timberwolves already have plans to trade him.

After all, there are too many talented people in the Timberwolves now.

Score: Devin Booker.

This is the absolute core that the sun has settled on.

Small Forward: Brandon Ingram.

Another talented player for the Timberwolves.

Power Forward: Marquese Chriss

A spring guy with good talent but not much luck.

Center: Karl-Anthony Towns.

Now the absolute core of the Timberwolves, but this guy's style of play is still too soft.

Chen Tian can still remember the playoffs between the Rockets and Timberwolves.

The duel between Towns and Capela.

In the end, Towns' performance can be said to be described as a car accident.

That was really too soft.

I don't know why, but this guy's back hitting ability is simply unsightly.

The US team started here.

Brogdon didn't make the starting lineup, but that's not surprising.

After all, although Brogdon is a legacy of the draft contest, his talent is indeed not that high.

The highest Brogdon can reach is the All-Star level.

And the starter of the world team soon appeared.

Point guard: Jamal Murray.

This is a core player that the Nuggets got after losing Jokic.

It can be said that Murray's strength is not worse than that of Jokic.

Score: Buddy Hield.

This guy is not that talented, but the three-pointer is still good.

Now in this league, what you look at is three-pointers, defense and rebounds. As long as you have these few things, you can get a good contract.

Small Forward: Amu.

Amu can play this starter, because there are not many small forwards in the world team.

That's why I can make this starter.

But Amu played well for the Mavericks this season.

But the Mavericks have Barnes, so Amu can only be a substitute.

However, Chen Tian knew that this situation would not last long, after all, Barnes really couldn't support the wall.

When the Mavericks get Doncic, Amu will be his best teammate.

So Chen Tian often comforted Amu.

Amu's personality is also good, and he does well in the team.

Good performance on and off the field.

So if the Mavericks trade Amu, they will encounter a temptation that they really can't refuse.

Otherwise, Amu would never leave the Mavericks.

Power Forward: Porzingis.

Although in the game against the Lakers, Porzingis was taught very ugly by Chen Tian.

But this year's world team, Porzingis' ability is still very outstanding.

Center forward: Zhou Qi.

This is also a no-brainer.

For this year's World Team, Zhou Qi and Sabonis can play centers.

And this season, the talent of Sabonis Jr. has indeed been reflected.

But he is in the Thunder team, which is a team with Westbrook as the absolute core.

So there are not many opportunities for him to perform.

On the contrary, Zhou Qi is different.

Although he was a player in the second round of the draft, Zhou Qi was with the Spurs.

You must know that Popovich, a legendary coach, will discover the shining points of the players the most.

The way Zhou Qi plays the game now is very similar to Gasol.

After Chen Tian saw it, he couldn't help giving Popovich a thumbs up.

It is simply a replica of Gasol.

Although Zhou Qi's physical problems are still there, being a substitute is more than enough.

Seeing the starting of the world team, the domestic fans were excited.

You know, after Yao Ming retired, there were no NBA players in Central Plains.

It was not until the appearance of Chen Tian that this phenomenon was broken.

Now, in the All-Star game, three Central Plains players actually appeared.

And two of them are starters.

This makes domestic basketball fans quite happy.

Although it is a rookie competition, being able to enter the rookie competition proves that the three of Liu Xiaoyu performed very well this season.

Chen Tian watched from the audience, feeling very happy in his heart.

Now except for Liu Xiaoyu and the other three.

Li Muhao and Zhao Jiwei in Europe also entered the league there.

But the performance of the two was not as good as the three of Amu.

But playing in the European League is already more than rubbish.

As for the NBA, it is difficult.

In addition, there are now Lin Sen and the other three in Los Angeles.

As long as the next March Madness, the three performed well.

Not surprisingly, there will be Central Plains players in the NBA during the offseason draft.

Soon the All-Star rookie contest also began.

Zhou Qi and Downs stood in the middle circle.

The referee threw the ball high.

Zhou Qi used her height and arm length to jump the ball, and the game officially started.

After the game started, Murray hit the inside line as soon as he came up, and then gave the ball to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi understood, and directly dunked with both hands.

Chen Tian, ​​who saw this scene from the sidelines, also stood up and applauded.

After Zhou Qi returned to defense, she gave Murray a high-five to celebrate.

When Chen Tian saw this scene, he knew that because of his own reasons, this world was completely different from the last one.

The rise of Central Plains basketball is already unstoppable.

On the field, although the world team won first.

But the US team is not too far behind.

Ingram is really full of talent here, rushing to the inside alone and scoring with one-handed dunks.

In fact, speaking of it, this year's rookie contest.

The talent of the US team is obviously better than that of the world team.

After all, the world team with Chen Tian, ​​Jokic, Embiid and Wiggins before is really too strong.

In those two years of Rookie Challenge, there was simply no suspense.

Therefore, fans are still looking forward to this rookie competition.

Although the talent of the world team is not as good as that of the US team.

But everyone knows that players who play in Europe place great importance on teamwork.

In the following time, the offense of the two teams was still very hot.

After all, in the first two quarters, they just came to attack and play casually.

That is to say, in the second half, the two teams will take it seriously.

This is what Chen Tian did.

The second half of the rookie competition every year will become quite intense.

The two teams ended the halftime game.

The US team temporarily leads the world team with 88:84.

And the exciting game is about to start soon.
