The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 252 Boring Competition
On February 2, the night of Valentine's Day, the rookie challenge officially started.

Giannis made a breakthrough with the ball, and after entering the penalty area, facing the empty penalty area, he even made a turn and dunk like superfluous!
Giannis buckled handsomely, but received sparse applause.

It shouldn't be!Why can't my handsome dunk ignite the hearts of the audience?

Thinking of this, Giannis was a little puzzled, and habitually turned his head to look at Li Pu off the field, only to find that Li Pu was playing with his mobile phone.

"..."

Brother, why are you so bored?

At this time, the rookie game has just entered the second half, and some people have already started to leave the field. Not to mention Li Pu on the sidelines, even Durant and Harden are just like Li Pu, also bowing their heads to play with their phones.

He is worthy of being a good brother of the previous team!

This year's rookie game was really boring, not to mention the lackluster play, lack of defense, and dunks. The quality of the stars alone cannot be compared with Li Pu's that year.

Although 2013 was a small draft year, did you expect it to be so young?

Among the top ten rookies, only No. 7 pick Oladipo, No. 9 pick Giannis and No. [-] pick Trey Burke received invitations. The No. [-] pick, Bennett, even missed the Rookie Tournament due to his poor performance. None were invited.

The shortest general, the best performer among the first-year rookies this year, is the 11th overall pick McAway.

作为人类首秀精华，去年10月31日，迈卡威在与热火的比赛中，首次登场就得到了22分、12次助攻（NBA史上新秀首演排名第2）、9次抢断（NBA新秀首演最高纪录）、7个篮板的准四双数据。

Since 84, no rookie can play such data in his NBA debut, and he has only 1 turnover, which is extremely efficient.

This season, he can contribute 17.4 points, 6.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game. Although it is only February at this time, he has already locked in the best rookie of the season in advance.

It can be said that this is the most suspenseful individual award this year!

In comparison, Giannis' performance is much more mediocre.

If you want to be physically fit, if you want to shoot but don't shoot, you have been the king's starter for two months, and your performance hasn't exploded. He looks like a blue-collar at best.

Therefore, the attention gained is naturally very little.

The reason why he was able to receive the invitation to the rookie competition this time was mainly due to the fact that other rookies set off well!

Don't look at Giannis hitting a good shot on the offensive end. Looking back, he was directly knocked away by the second-year rookie Drummond. After grabbing the offensive rebound, he dunked with both hands!
Compared with the bleak first grade, there are many potential new stars in the second grade, such as: Brother Nongmei, Lillard, Zhuang Shen and so on.

Giannis rubbed his chest, feeling like his ribs were about to snap.

Although he has worked very hard to gain muscle, after half a year, his weight has also increased to 94kg, a full gain of nearly 10kg, but with this weight, he still cannot bear the impact of a big center like Drummond .

At this time, as the head coach, Weber saw Giannis' discomfort, so he called a timeout and replaced Giannis.

In the following games, it had nothing to do with the two rookies of the Kings. The game was very intense, but it was not very enjoyable to watch.

The final score was fixed at 142:136. The Hill team defeated the Webber team. Drummond scored 30 points and 25 rebounds frantically, and won the MVP of the rookie game from among the rising stars.

"Okay, you two, don't be downcast. If you don't play well, go back and practice hard. It's just a rookie game. When we win the championship, they will be the ones to envy!"

After the game was over, Li Pu, who was sitting off the court, put his phone in his pocket, stood up and gave his two teammates high fives to comfort him.

Middleton and Giannis behaved completely differently in the face of Li Pu's chicken soup.

Middleton just nodded after hearing this, and didn't say much, and his face was not necessarily very good.

But Giannis was different. After hearing this, his blood boiled with excitement, and he clenched his fists and said, "No problem, Prince, we can do it!"

Giannis' words even startled Middleton who was on the side, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Why is this kid so tough? You scared me!"

After that, the two went to the locker room together, and Li Pu greeted his old teammates Durant, Harden and others on the court.

"The day after tomorrow, the two of us will be able to fight side by side again. Hey, when will Dema be as reassuring as you?"

As soon as he saw Li Pu, Durant couldn't help complaining.

Seeing Durant's appearance gave Li Pu a headache.

Long before the start of the game, Durant dragged himself to complain, complaining that Cousins ​​didn't train well, made a fuss every day, and was impatient with everyone...

These chatterboxes go back and forth, just like a boudoir.

The key point was that Li Pu had to listen, so he could only listen patiently until the game started.

And now that the game is over, Durant posted it again, Li Pu is so depressed in his heart!

I wondered what reason to leave?

"Haney, we should go!"

At this moment, An Jiali appeared in time and rescued Li Pu.

"Sorry, An Jiali called me, let's go first!"

"Oh, ok, ok, then you go back first, we will talk about it when we get back to the game!"

"..." Hearing this, Li Pu almost staggered. Is this torture not over yet?
After the boring rookie competition on the first day, the individual competition on the second day was also very boring!

Although this year's individual event has been changed to the form of group confrontation.

In the slam dunk contest, the Western team is composed of Lillard, Harrison Barnes and first-year rookie Ben McLemore, and the Eastern team is composed of Wall, George and Terrence Ross.

In the end, the Western team lost to the Eastern team, and Wall finally won the championship and became the new dunk king.

As for the three-point contest and the skill contest, players from the Kings will participate.

A total of 8 people participated in the three-point contest, namely: Aaron Afflalo, Bradley Beal, Kyrie Irving, Joe Johnson, Marco Belinelli, Stephen Curry, Mian Lillard and Middleton.

As a result, Middleton was eliminated in the first round.

In the end, in overtime, Belinelli defeated Bill and won the three-point contest.

As for the skills competition, it was also a group competition, and finally the second western team composed of Lillard and Trey Burke won the championship.

Although Giannis also participated, he did not leave any memory points for the audience except for his height.

In this way, the individual events of the second day came to an end.

As for the All-Star Game on the third day, it was also very boring.

In the end, in Li Pu's troubled waters, the Eastern All-Star team defeated the Western All-Star team 163:155. Kyrie Irving scored 31 points and 14 assists and won the All-Star Game mvp.
