“Congratulations to the first grade team on their final victory, they deserved it for their performance tonight.”
"In this game, the first-year team perfectly demonstrated what team basketball is. The second-year team did not lose unfairly."
“This ends the sophomore team’s seven-game winning streak and the first-year players can have a good laugh.”
Barkley and Kenny Smith were summing up after the game.
"Charles, the rookie game MVP trophy will be awarded next. Who do you think will win this honor in the first-year team?" Kenny Smith asked.
"It's really hard to choose. The players on the first-year team all played very well. If I had to choose one, then I would choose Sun, because I am his most loyal fan." Barkley replied with a smile.
"Sun's data is indeed good, and he has a high chance of winning. Then we will continue to watch the next award ceremony."
After Kenny Smith finished speaking, he refocused his attention on the center of the field.
On the field, the players of the first grade team were celebrating their hard-won victory crazily.
"Hahaha, we did it, kicked the second-year team's ass hard." Curry said excitedly.
"Victory, victory, we defeated those arrogant guys on the second-year team." Harden shouted happily.
On the other side, Westbrook, who had not yet left the game, clenched his fists after hearing this.
"James really deserves a beating!"
Westbrook knows that Harden is outspoken and has something to say, but he still has the urge to beat the guy.
"I'll take care of you when I get back!"
After making his plans, the Great Turtle walked towards the players' tunnel, not wanting to stay in this sad place any longer.
At the same time, other players from the second-year team quietly left the field one after another, leaving the stage to the players from the first-year team.
Not long after, the first-year team players ended their celebrations and came to the center of the court to wait for the rookie game MVP award.
Because the players on the first grade team played well.
Therefore, there is still a certain amount of suspense about who the rookie MVP will be.
In this game, the four best performers of the first-year team were: Sun Yi, Curry, Evans, and Blair.
It can be said that the rookie game MVP will be produced among these people.
Evans' performance in this game was remarkable, scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
He plays a very key role in linking the team's offense, which cannot be reflected by data.
Blair scored a double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds, and is a strong contender for the rookie game MVP.
Curry's data is much better than these two.
In the 32 minutes he played, he made 12 of 18 three-pointers and scored 39 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
The 12 three-pointers in a single game broke the NBA historical record of 11 three-pointers in a single game set by Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers in his rookie season.
Although the gold content cannot be compared with the regular season, it broke the record and created history.
However, these people are not the most dazzling performers in this game. Sun Yi's data is an exaggeration.
In 34 minutes of playing time, he scored a triple-double of 30 points, 15 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
This is the first triple-double in the history of the All-Star Rookie Game!
Therefore, Sun Yi has a high probability of winning the rookie game MVP.
At the beginning of the award ceremony, league vice president Mark Tatum brought the hostess to the center of the court.
Originally, the Rookie Game was just an appetizer for the All-Star Weekend, and the league's senior officials didn't pay attention to it at all, thinking it was of little value.
But Sun Yi actually got a super triple-double of 30+15+15, and led the weak first-year team to complete the following victory.
This result undoubtedly brought surprises to the league's senior management, who felt that this All-Star Game was still interesting.
Mark Tatum took the microphone from the host, opened the envelope in his hand, and loudly announced the winner of the rookie game MVP.
"The 2010 Dallas All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge MVP winner is Stephen Curry..."
When Sun Yi heard Curry's name, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and clapped his hands in congratulations.
Curry on the side was in disbelief when he heard it. He felt that his brother Sun Yi would definitely win the award and did not have high hopes.
But after hearing his name, Curry immediately felt that there was something shady.
In the audience, the fans felt that there was something shady and booed.
Mark Tatum ignored the boos and continued: "And Sun Yi! Congratulations to both of them!"
"Sun, did you hear that? We won the prize!" After hearing this, Curry was even more excited than he was when he won the prize. He took Sun Yi's arm and jumped up and down.
"Stephen, I heard you, you don't have to speak so loudly."
After Sun Yi finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the Alliance always liked to titillate people, so they couldn't finish it all at once.
The audience suddenly stopped booing, and then erupted into overwhelming applause and cheers.
At the same time, another hostess came from the backstage to the center of the court holding an identical rookie game MVP trophy.
After everything was ready, Mark Tatum handed the trophies to Sun Yi and Curry respectively, took a group photo and left the stage.
Subsequently, Curry and Sun Yi delivered their own acceptance speeches respectively.
At this point, the Rookie Challenge has come to an end.
In the live commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith made the final summary.
"Sun and Stephen deserved to win the MVP of the rookie game. Their performance is obvious to all. Congratulations to them." Kenny Smith congratulated them.
"Originally, I thought it was a shady incident, and I wanted to rush forward to seek justice for Sun. I didn't expect the alliance to be so naughty and deceived everyone." Barkley said jokingly.
"Hahaha, I am also one of the victims. Don't let me know who planned it. If you find out, you will have to be violent." Kenny Smith joked.
"Call me when the time comes." Barkley agreed.
"It's time for us to catch the culprit. This game will be broadcast live here. We will see you in the next game."
After Kenny Smith finished speaking, the TV signal was disconnected and switched to other programs.
On the other side, Sun Yi returned to the locker room after the interview, and then went to the shower room to wash up.
While taking a shower, Sun Yi collected the mission reward.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission: Star Glory All-Star (1)!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting the number of non-attribute points +5."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the rookie competition MVP for the first time. As a reward, you will receive a green wristband +1, a 10x training bonus card +1, an advanced nutrient solution +50, and 50,000 training points."
Sun Yi quickly received the reward, and then replaced the [White Wrist Guards] in the equipment column with [Green Wrist Guards].
After finishing his work, he opened the personal attributes panel to add points.
Spending 4 points to increase the speed attribute by 2 points, making the speed attribute break through, reaching 90 points, thus resulting in a qualitative change.
The remaining number of points added was not retained and was used for the three-point attribute, bringing the three-point attribute to 60 points and improving the long-range shooting ability.
After adding points, Sun Yi closed the system panel with a happy mood, and then quickly took a shower and washed himself.
After taking a shower, Sun Yi returned to the locker room and saw that most of his temporary teammates had left, leaving only Curry and Harden.
"Stephen, James, why didn't you two hang out with them?" Sun Yi asked curiously.
"We'll wait for you to go together, brother!" Harden said first.
"You should go and have fun. I will go to the airport to pick up Collins and the others tomorrow morning."
Sun Yi said apologetically that he didn't want to ruin Harden's elegance. He really didn't want to die.
Curry immediately shuddered after hearing this. He had been fooled by Harden before and completely forgot that Ayesha was coming to the All-Star Weekend tomorrow.
"Sorry, James, I can't go with you." Curry said coquettishly.
"What! Stephen, you actually want to let me go. You'd better find a reasonable reason to convince me." Harden said pretending to be angry.
"My girlfriend is coming tomorrow, and I can't do anything to regret her." Curry said righteously.
Harden looked at the elementary school student with pitiful eyes.
You gave up the entire forest for a tree, Hu Tu!
Harden forgave the elementary school student and stopped going out. He followed Sun Yi and others back to the hotel where they were staying.
After returning to the hotel, Sun Yi felt that it was still early and there was nothing to do, so he ran to the gym for additional training.
Curry and Harden had nothing to do and watched Sun Yi's entire training process from the sidelines.
"Does Sun always train like this? Is there really no problem?" Harden asked curiously.
"Don't worry, this guy is a monster of physical strength. After a night's rest, he will be full of energy again." Curry said enviously.
"If only I had such a talent, I would have no problem going to nightclubs every day." Harden muttered under his breath.
After Sun Yi finished training, he drank a bottle of [Advanced Nutrient Solution] to quickly regain his strength, then said goodbye to Curry and Harden, and went back to their rooms to rest.
…
Early the next morning, Sun Yi and Curry drove to the airport in a rented car.
"Sun, the two of us have grabbed the headlines of major sports media again. Come and see, this cover is really cool..."
On the way, Curry sat in the passenger seat and kept chattering, telling Sun Yi the news about the Rookie Challenge.
This rookie game was quite influential, and Sun Yi's super triple-double brought him a lot of exposure.
"Stephen, stop talking. I already know it. Don't disturb me while driving, otherwise we will make headlines tomorrow." Sun Yi said jokingly.
Curry didn't want to make headlines yet, so he stopped disturbing Sun Yi and leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed to rest.
After arriving at the airport, Sun Yi and Curry successfully picked up Lily Collins and Ayesha.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they got in the car and headed to the hotel where they were staying.
After Collins and Ayesha put away their luggage, they followed Sun Yi and Curry to participate in the basketball carnival and feel the happy atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend.
In the evening, Sun Yi and others came to the American Airlines Center Arena to cheer on their former temporary teammate DeRozan.
In addition to Sun Yi and Curry, all the first-year team members who participated in the Rookie Challenge yesterday came to the scene.
The first event is the Shooting Star Competition.
This competition naturally competes on shooting ability, and it is also a game in which all players participate.
Each team is composed of an active NBA player, a legend and a WNBA player.
There are six shooting points on the court. Players from each team must complete these six shooting points in sequence. The team with the least time wins.
The Texas team playing at home performed well in the finals. Nowitzki hit a half-court shot and led the team to defeat the Los Angeles team in 34.3 seconds to win the championship.
The next competition event is the skills competition.
The skill game is a game that tests the basic abilities of the players and will test their dribbling, passing and shooting abilities.
The contestants in this skills competition include Jennings, Nash, Rose and Deron.
Because Rose was injured, he chose to give up the opportunity to defend his title and let Westbrook play in his place.
In the qualifiers, Jennings and Westbrook performed poorly and were eliminated one after another. Nash and Deron entered the finals together.
In the final, Nash was superior and performed even better, defeating Deron in 29.9 seconds to win the championship.
The next competition event is the three-point shooting contest.
Along with the dunk contest, the three-point contest is another high-profile event tonight.
The contestants are: Cook, Billups, Anthony Morrow, Fletcher, Gallinari and Pierce.
In the qualifiers, Cook, Fletcher and Gallinari only scored 15 points and were eliminated one after another. Morrow, Pierce and Billups advanced to the finals.
In the finals, Pierce defeated Moreau and Billups with a 20-point performance and became the first new three-point king.
In the audience, Sun Yi turned to ask Curry beside him.
"Stephen, why don't you participate in the three-point contest?"
"Sun, if you participate, I will participate. Competing with you is challenging." Curry replied.
Sun Yi was speechless after hearing this, thinking that the primary school student wanted to abuse food.
"You may have to wait a long time. I don't plan to participate in the three-point contest at this stage." Sun Yi answered truthfully.
"I'm very patient." Curry replied.
While Sun Yi and Curry were chatting, the finale officially began.
The last competition event was the dunk contest.
Because James has let go of the league's pigeons again, this slam dunk contest is not interesting.
The contestants in this dunk contest are: DeRozan, Shannon Brown, Gerald Wallace, and Nate Robinson.
In the qualifiers, Brown and Wallace performed poorly and were eliminated one after another. DeRozan and Nate Robinson advanced to the finals together.
In the finals, Robinson tried two rebounds and then jumped over the backboard to dunk but failed. He repeated a dunk action from the qualifiers, throwing and grabbing the ball and dunking the ball into the basket.
DeRozan asked Sun Yi to come on and help throw the ball. He trusted Sun Yi's passing ability very much.
When Sun Yi appeared on the stage, there were warm cheers and shouts.
Unknowingly, Sun Yi's popularity has become a bonus for DeRozan's dunk.
Sun Yi came to the right baseline and hit the ball on the side of the backboard. DeRozan followed up and jumped into the air. After receiving the pass, he made a windmill dunk, which won bursts of applause from the fans at the scene.
Seeing this, Nate Robinson put some thought into his last dunk.
He bounced the ball off the board, quickly followed up to catch the basketball, and then completed a reverse pull-up dunk with both hands, which also received applause from the audience.
DeRozan still asked Sun Yi for help for the last dunk.
Sun Yi hit the ball from the bottom line to the edge of the backboard. DeRozan quickly followed up. After receiving the pass, he crossed the bottom edge of the backboard, made a pulling action, and dunked the ball into the basket.
In the end, DeRozan defeated Nate Robinson with 90% of the votes in the final and became the new dunk king.
It is unknown how much Sun Yi helped.
When delivering his acceptance speech, DeRozan specifically thanked Sun Yi.
This gave Sun Yi a sense of presence and further increased his popularity.
At this point, the second day of the All-Star Weekend has come to an end, and the All-Star Game is about to begin!
