Chapter 1001 Rookie Game, O'Neal Vs. Barkley...
On February 24 (US time), the 2012 Orlando All-Star Weekend officially kicked off.
There will be two games on this day, one is the All-Star Weekend Masters, and the other is the Rookie Game, which invites various entertainment stars, as well as other sports stars, such as WNBA stars.
He wasn't interested in this Qin Hao, and he wasn't chasing entertainment stars. Butler, Klay, Xiaoka, and others weren't very interested in this. Plus, it was the rookie game after that, so he just trained in the arena.
In the evening, the rookie game is about to start.
Compared with the Masters game in the afternoon, the rookie game will be more attractive at this time. The audience is full of people early in the morning, and all kinds of noises converge, all discussing the upcoming rookie game.
"Last year, Qin won the MVP in the rookie game. Who do you think will win the MVP this time?"
"No, first of all you have to make sure that Qin is not interested in mvp, otherwise with Qin's strength, who can compete with him for mvp? Griffin, or Wall, Owen?"
"Yes. Qin and they are no longer the same level. Even if Griffin, who was re-elected to the All-Star Game this year, is a lot worse than Qin. Regardless of personal data, team records, or personal performance at critical moments, Qin must Much stronger than Griffin. With Qin's strength, can you get 30 or 40 points in a game like this?"
"Hey, brother, you're wrong. First of all, you have to see if they can win, right? If the Barkleys win, then no matter how good Qin plays, he is destined to not get the mvp."
This year's rookie game is not a match between the first and second grades, but adopts a selection mode. The first and second grade players are mixed together, and then the managers of the two teams select candidates in a manner similar to the "draft", and each forms a ball team.
The two managers this time are Shaq O'Neal and Charles Barkley.
So the two teams in the rookie game are "O'Neal" and "Barkley".
The selection has already ended. Olney first chose Qin Hao and Butler, and Barkley first chose Griffin and Kyrie Irving. After that, O'Neal also chose Xiaoka and Klay.
In the end, the ten players of the O'Neal team were Qin Hao, Butler, Klay, Xiaoka, Ricky Rubio, Markieff Morris, Greg Monroe, Kemba Walker, Brandon Wright, Tristan Thompson.
The ten Barkley players are Griffin, Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, John Wall, Evan Turner, Marshan Brooks, Jeremy Lin, Derek Williams.
In addition to the players, O'Neal has two coaches, Ron Adams and Steve Kerr.
Barkley's two coaches are Maurice Cheeks and Mike Frontello.
In terms of lineup, there is not much difference between the two sides, and even Barkley is slightly stronger. After all, there is Griffin who averaged 21+11 double-double data and was selected as an All-Star. The strength of the two top picks Irving and Wall needless to say. Irving averaged 18+4+5 per game in his rookie season, and Wall played 17+8+5 this season. The core, the future can be described as limitless.
In addition, Cousins, George, Hayward, Turner, Jeremy Lin, etc. are also very good players.
On the O'Neal side, Qin Hao is undoubtedly the strongest, but apart from him, Butler, Walker, Monroe, Rubio, Xiaoka, and Klay seem to be better than the Barkley players. Slightly inferior.
Therefore, many players can't refute Qin Hao's personal strength, but they are not optimistic about O'Neal because Barkley's lineup seems to be stronger.
"coming."
Suddenly, the arena fell silent.
The rookie players appeared one after another, causing cheers from the audience.
When Qin Hao came out, the cheers were thunderous and reached their peak. The whole arena reverberated with cheers and screams, showing his current popularity, far surpassing Griffin, Wall, Owen and others.
Seeing Qin Hao standing in the spotlight, waving at the fans, bathed in cheers and screams, Griffin, Owen, Wall and others of the Barkley team had mixed feelings, envy, jealousy and unwillingness.
Players from both sides have come out, and the lights are back on.
The players warmed up on the court, and the atmosphere of the Barkley team was obviously more dignified. It seemed that everyone's eyes were on Qin Hao's body, and they were eager to try.
On the O'Neal side, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
Needless to say, the relationship between Qin Hao and Butler, Xiaoka, and Clay, TT and Wall also have some personal friends with Qin Hao. Although Monroe, Rubio, Morris and others have no personal relationship with Qin Hao, they are not that kind. Thorn, and Qin Hao's strength is there, it is a matter of course to become the boss of this team.
On the other hand, the Barkley team, although Griffin has the most cards, can Wall, Irving and others convince him?
in the audience.
The four heroes are sitting together, Yao Ming, Ross, Nene, Lou Wei, Iverson, Speights and others are not far away, in addition to many NBA stars, such as Kobe, Howard and so on.
"Dwyane." Anthony suddenly asked, "Do you think that side can win today?"
Hearing this, Paul rolled his eyes, and James laughed, and he heard the ridicule in Anthony's words.
In the previous All-Star vote, Wade lost to Qin Hao. Anthony did not ask Paul or James, but chose Wade, which was quite a joke.
Wade smiled, looked at Anthony with a foolish look, and deliberately said loudly, "I'm optimistic about Barkley, Qin Hao and the others will never win."
"That's not necessarily true." Anthony smiled: "I'm optimistic about the O'Neal team." Then, he pointed to the court, "Look, the Barkley team looks very serious, but it is obvious that their team atmosphere is not the same. Not very good. Griffin, Wall, Irving barely communicated."
"Looking at the O'Neal team, the players are all around Qin, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. Both sides are temporary teams, and a team with a harmonious team atmosphere is naturally more discordant than the team atmosphere, and there is even an internal atmosphere. Fighting teams should be more effective.”
This is true.
James and Paul both nodded their heads. The Barkley team seemed serious, but there were hidden dangers. The O'Neal team seemed to be sloppy, but the atmosphere was harmonious. Qin Hao was the undisputed boss who brought all the players together. At the critical moment, the O'Neal team is more able to play the strength of the team.
After a while, the warm-up is over.
The players from both sides returned to the sidelines, and the coach announced the start of the game after a simple arrangement. In fact, there was nothing to arrange.
