$1,597. I Just Succeed Often.

Hardaway Jr.'s Penny team has the Big Three of Drummond, Lillard, and Bradley Beal, as well as players such as Waiters, Harris-Barnes, and Antetokounmpo; Valanciu Nurse's Webber team has a starting lineup of McAway, Olynyk, Trey Burke, Oladipo, and Anthony Davis.

Everyone thought it would be McAway VS Lillard, or Anthony Davis VS Drummond. Even if it was Oladipo and Bradley Beal shooting against each other, no one would be surprised.

Anyway, no one expected the two first- and second-year Grizzlies players to participate in the rookie game. Among them, Valanciunas played 6 minutes, scored 4 points on 2-for-2 shooting, and then did not play again.

However, the protagonist tonight is Little Hardaway! With passes from Lillard, Bradley Beal, and Antetokounmpo, and protected by Drummond's rebounds, Hardaway Jr. relied on crazy shots to help the Pennys defeat 142-133 tonight. Team Weber!

With 42 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, Hardaway Jr. beat Lillard, who had 9 points and 15 assists, Drummond, who had 12 points and 26 rebounds, and Bradley Beal, who had 30 points and 6 assists. Rookie Game MVP!

Hardaway Jr.'s wave of play made Sun Ce, Paul George, and Klay Thompson all excited when they came to the scene! He cheered for the famous son from the sidelines and grabbed a lot of shots.

Little Hardaway also dared to throw! He played 29 minutes and threw 21 three-pointers, but he made 12 of them, tying Stephen Curry's rookie record of 12 three-pointers in a single game set in the 2011 rookie game.

However, after the Pennies won the game and Hardaway Jr. won the rookie game MVP, the fans at the scene shouted "Little Penny"...

…

"My father is Tim Hardaway, not Anfernee Hardaway!"

It's rare for anyone to be so irritable after winning an award. Hardaway yelled crazily at the camera during a post-game interview.

However, the fans in front of the TV and computer are very puzzled. They don't care who Hardaway's father is. They want to ask: Who are Tim and Anfernee? Isn’t this Pence’s son?

In this year's rookie game, the two teams played fiercely again, continuing the "tradition" started by Sun Ce that the rookie game is a battle for face. Moreover, there is also the highlight of Hardaway Jr.'s explosion. Since the NBA entered the lord era, the All-Star The rookie game seems to have returned to the feeling of the 1990s.

And this has a lot to do with the NBA changing the rules to mix and match first- and second-year players. Although there is no difference between first- and second-year teams, it is indeed more exciting and intense.

In addition to Hardaway Jr.’s 12 three-pointers,

Drummond's 26 rebounds in a single game also set a new record in the rookie game; Team Weber's McAway had 16 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 steals and 3 blocks. He was also the second player after Sun Ce to get 4 times in the rookie game. A player with 5 statistics; Lillard also became the first player to score in double figures in his rookie game with at least 15 assists.

The exciting rookie game gave this All-Star Weekend a good start.

…

One day passed, and it was Saturday, February 18th, the eventing day.

Sun Ce got up very early in the morning to practice extra for tonight's three-point contest. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, in addition to business activities and watching the rookie game, Sun Ce spent most of his time practicing extra. In terms of song performance... his singing is perfect, even if He is a musician with absolute pitch, and it is difficult to find flaws in his singing. The key is whether other people's accompaniment and harmony can be practiced well.

The focus of the additional training is on shooting at five fixed-point positions. Although there is an awesome All-Star Triathlon exclusive card to use, you still have to adapt to the rules of the All-Star Three-Point Contest.

The most critical thing is that there are 5 goals in each of the 5 shooting points, a total of 25 goals, and they all need to be shot within 60 seconds.

This requires quickly adapting to changes in shooting distance, shooting angle, and changes in shooting posture caused by these two points. Stability must be ensured, and the time for intermediate movement positions must be added, etc...

The three-point contest and official competitions, apart from the same need for shooting accuracy, are very different in other aspects. Many famous three-pointers in history did not perform well in the three-point contest.

For example, Reggie Miller, the former three-point champion in NBA history, participated in five three-point contests in the 1980s and 1990s but never won a single championship.

Curry started participating in the three-point contest in his rookie year. Except for the year of serious injury, he participated in the other three three-point contests and failed to win a championship.

Korver participated in the Three-Point Contest three times, but also failed to win a single championship.

Ray Allen participated in 6 three-point contests and won 1 championship.

What Sun Ce is training hard now is how to quickly change positions and quickly enter the shooting state.

Otherwise, no matter how high the level of bonus three-pointers is, he can't even finish 25 shots. How can he compete with those guys who are wailing and want to fuck him?

Fortunately, Sun Ce doesn't have to think about other things and only practices this. After a few days, he has become accustomed to quickly entering the shooting state according to changes in angle and distance after moving to the next position.

The effect of "persistence at four in the morning" played an important role in his practice in this area.

However... Sun Ce feels that this training is almost useless for actual competitions! This is just for the rules of the three-point contest. It is estimated that some people will train for this. In actual combat, there is almost no possibility of such a movement. It is too fixed. With such a fixed movement, it is better to practice the three points of catching the ball at a fixed point. Points, there is absolutely no need to run.

Sun Ce practiced until 9 o'clock in the morning and felt that it was almost done. He practiced a few more rounds before the game in the afternoon and competed in the evening.

At 10 o'clock, he came to the recording studio rented by the temporary orchestra and sang a few times with several all-stars who came to practice ensemble early in the morning. Sun Ce felt that it was okay. Although it was not professional, at least they could cooperate smoothly.

However, a nitpicking No. 24 just felt that it was not good enough, so he dragged Irving, James, Wade, and Love to continue practicing.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a relatively less popular but still interesting game during the NBA All-Star Weekend - the Celebrity Game, started.

Usain Bolt, the world sprinter who was abused by Maya Moore last year, made a comeback this time. Hearing that Maya Moore did not want to participate in this game this year, Bolt was shocked and prepared to regain his glory. Then he met Britney Griner, the new No. 1 pick in the WNBA...

If Bolt's encounter with Maya Moore was the darkest moment in his past athletic career, then meeting Griner... it was nothing. This is a female monster! Female version of James!

Maya Moore would play this kind of game for fun, but Griner, as a rookie in professional basketball, doesn't care about that. She played the celebrity game like she played in the WNBA, scoring a triple-double of 19 points, 22 rebounds and 11 blocks in a single game, including 5 blocks after Bolt...

The TV commentator joked that Bolt probably never wants to play basketball again in his life. For two consecutive years, he met the queen of basketball in the first year and the female monster with the best physical fitness in the history of women's basketball in the second year.

Sun Ce was preparing for the three-point contest tonight. When he heard Paul George, who was preparing for the dunk contest in the training ground next door, say that Bolt was going to make the headlines again, he turned on the TV in the lounge and saw another female basketball player chasing Bolt and blocking him.

When Sun Ce saw Griner, he remembered that this was the No. 1 draft pick who had publicly stated that he liked women after being selected by the WNBA last summer. It seemed that this rookie year was the peak period for this No. 1 draft pick. He broke the WNBA single-game block record just a few games after entering the WNBA, but it seemed that he was not doing well in a few years. It was said that his playing style was too fierce and he loved dunking very much, which broke his knees.

However, Bolt met the world's strongest Maya Moore last year, and met Griner, who was at her peak as a rookie this year... Sun Ce felt that this guy needed to see a psychologist, it was too miserable!

However, Sun Ce felt that the NBA was also making trouble. Maya Moore and Griner were both invited. Will they continue to invite Bolt to participate in the competition next year, and then let Elena Dorn let Bolt feel the body of the female version of Curry?

…

…

"I'll definitely ask you to come with me next time, okay? Who told you to leave without saying hello on the morning of the 15th? Now you come here to express your envy."

"I'm not envious!"

"Really? Then I won't call you James next time."

"!!!"

"Okay, okay, I'll call you, why are you staring so wide-eyed? Even if you stare so wide-eyed, the bar won't sell you any alcohol..."

"Noah, I'll fight you!"

Curry rushed towards Sun Ce with his teeth and claws bared, but was stopped by Harden.

Harden was strange. Curry knew he couldn't win against Sun Ce, so why did he take the initiative to get teased?

Also, if he wanted to join, he wanted to join, but he was so shy that he had to be dragged out as a shield.

As for joining the band... Harden is so playful, he's really not that interested in this matter, because he doesn't know how to play instruments and his singing is not very good. He prefers to go to the beach in New Orleans in the summer.

In the evening, after participating in the league's promotional activities, Sun Ce, Paul George, and Klay Thompson met the Warriors' new dream backcourt who were also going to participate in the triathlon tonight.

Curry made a few sarcastic remarks about tomorrow's pre-game performance. How could Sun Ce not know what this elementary school student brother was thinking?

But on the morning of the 15th, when Sun Ce woke up from a hangover and was about to invite a few people, many acquaintances had left, only Irving and Love had not left, so he only invited these two people.

Now the accompaniment combination of Kobe, James, Love, Irving, and Wade has been well run-in, and the elementary school student and Xiao Dengdeng want to join Sun Ce, but there is no way, so they can only wait until next year.

After chatting for a while, everyone began to prepare for tonight's game.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Sun Ce and other participating players entered the court of the New Orleans Arena.

For this year's triathlon, the league has long revealed that there will be some changes in the rules. Sure enough, before the start of the Shooting Star Challenge, the host announced the new rules of the game for the participating players and fans on the scene.

There is no change in the shooting star challenge, but the three events themselves have changed.

The skills challenge will be drawn into teams, two groups of two, a total of four groups, and two people in each group will participate in the competition. The one with the better score will be selected. Two groups will advance in the preliminaries.

The finals will be changed back to individual competitions.

That is, the third best preliminaries may be eliminated, and the worst score may enter the finals...

After this rule was announced, the Internet started to complain immediately.

In the dunk contest, it was divided into two groups, the East and the West. Lillard, Paul George, Harris Barnes represented the West; Ben McLemore, Terrence Jones, and Wall represented the East.

The TV commentator analyzed that this adjustment was because none of the participating players were really good at playing, and the viewing experience was not good enough. Dividing them into the East and the West at least had a "competition for honor."

The rules of the Three-Point Contest have not changed, but it has caused a lot of controversy - each player can choose a "good point", and all shooting points in this shooting point will be turned into flower balls. The other four positions remain unchanged and are still 4 white balls. 1 flower ball, which means the maximum score is increased from 30 points to 34 points.

This means that in a few years, all the highest scores in the Three-Point Contest will be set by subsequent players. Among them, Jason Kapono, who became a commentator after retiring, directly cursed...

The only record he left in the NBA, which is the historical record of 25 points in the Three-Point Contest, may pass away tonight!

However, although the fans are also complaining that this is unfair to the previous players, the fans are happy to hear it.

In the eyes of some people, this change is unfair to previous players, but in the eyes of some fans, this is a rule change that will make an unnamed holder of the lowest score in the three-point contest vomit blood!

Now that the total score has increased to 34 points, even if Duncan and Howard participate in the three-point contest, it will not be easy to break Sun Ce's 4 points, right?

Just like the ridicule of netizens, after listening to the introduction of the rule changes at the scene, Sun Ce couldn't express his emotions in greeting the vice president in a wheelchair even 10,000 words "I am".

Now that he thought about it, it seemed that there was such a rule change that was criticized by some three-point contest champions at the end of the last century and the beginning of the century. The school beauty who did not have hemiplegia or urinary incontinence in the original time and space still defended: It doesn't matter, the champion is still the same. He is a champion and will never change...

Sun Ce felt that he was going to live in the history of the Three-Point Contest forever. When other participating players saw Sun Ce's expression as if he had eaten a fly, they also reacted and laughed non-stop.

Maybe it’s a matter of aura. Even if the other players participating in this year’s Three-Point Contest didn’t form the “Anti-Lord Alliance,” Lillard, Irving, Morrow, Klay Thompson, Curry, and Harden were very conscious. and Sun Ce were divided into two camps.

Sun Ce saw Clay's little brother become "rebellious", the world is so cold!

…

After the rules explanation, there was another wave of cheerleading performances. The New Orleans college students were so enthusiastic and frugal that they hated having to wear them. Harden on the sidelines was almost drooling.

At 7:30 pm, the Shooting Star Challenge began.

Bosh fought furiously against three pairs of father and son, and once again successfully hit the Bosh line with one hit. When the first two teammates were obviously lagging behind the other three groups, he turned the tide and once again won the Shooting Star Challenge championship!

Sun Ce had never watched this game before, and ignored the live broadcast in China. However, since Bosh participated, this game has really become attractive. When Bosh made a shot from the center line, Sun Ce and other players were cheering for him.

The Shooting Star Challenge ended, and at 8 o'clock, the Skills Challenge began.

The league wants to increase the attention of fans and increase the desire to win among participating players by changing the rules... Unfortunately, the imagination is full but the reality is very skinny.

The participating players originally had no shortage of fighting spirit and desire to win, but now the rule has been changed to one where luck outweighs strength, and some players have no motivation.

The results of the preliminaries did depend on luck. Dragic's time of 33.5 seconds ranked fourth in the preliminaries, but he failed to advance to the finals. Oladipo, who ranked first in the preliminaries, and McAway, who ranked third There is nothing wrong with this group advancing, but Trey Burke, who finished seventh in the preliminaries, entered the finals along with Lillard, who finished second in the preliminaries.

In the finals, Lillard defeated McAway by 0.1 seconds and won the skills challenge.

…

The changes in the rules are terrible. Sun Ce watched last year's skills challenge with great interest, but this year, after the results of the preliminaries came out, Sun Ce found the finals boring.

This is because of good luck. Three of the top four teams in the preliminaries have entered the finals. The most bizarre situation that may occur is that the first, second, seventh and eighth teams advance to the finals, and the third and fourth teams are eliminated together in the preliminaries.

This is just like the thing that Sun Ce dislikes when playing games. Sometimes a game mechanism that is obviously very successful and reasonable is planned to death and changed beyond recognition. As a result, old players of the game stop playing it, and the game mechanism is changed beyond recognition. It fails to attract new players and then gradually dies.

The awards for the champions of the Skills Challenge are over, and the highlight of the night - the three-point contest is here!

Before the game even started, the camera on the big screen had already shown Sun Ce standing alone.

On the other side are Lillard, who just won the Skills Challenge Championship, the Warriors' dream backcourt combination, and Klay Thompson, one of the Pelicans' two top three-pointers and one of the Splash Brothers.

The feeling of distinction is just like last year!

The fans at the scene immediately started to boo!

Go ahead and start making noises. Sun Ce couldn't stop him. He had just thought about how to show off and was about to go to the host to ask for the microphone when he saw a camera and a beautiful reporter walking towards him.

"Here, my co-author, my old grandson, will I get special treatment?"

Sun Ce had a dark look on his face, but when he participated in the three-point contest, he even had a pre-game interview!

However, it was pretty eye-catching to see Abby Hornacek, the daughter of the head coach of the Suns, across from her. Sun Ce put aside his dissatisfaction with the league's arrangements and said hello with a smile.

Abby was very direct: "Hello, Lord, it's a pleasure to meet again. You just broke the record in the NBA Three-Point Contest last year that is considered the least likely to be broken. Do you want to do something this year?"

Live broadcast, of course, must be direct and directly trigger the topic!

Sun Ce looked at the beautiful reporter in her 20s with a good face and outstanding figure, and used the native dialect of Zu'e to express his feelings at the moment - this woman doesn't look like a good person!

But at this time, everyone's attention was on him, Sun, and Sun Ce took the opportunity to show off: "As for me, I don't have much pursuit, but I often succeed.

But there is one thing I like to do, which is to defeat others in the field they are good at.

Who are those people over there? Sorry, I am face-blind.

You guys, discuss it carefully, who will be the second tonight?"
