Chapter 174 Rookie Challenge!
In February, Indianapolis, Conseco Arena.

The weather in Indiana in February is still cold, but the Conseco Arena, where the All-Stars are held, is in full swing.

Today is the first day of the event, and there will be two games in total. The first is the Masters, and the second is the highlight of the day—the Rookie Challenge.

The entire arena was brightly lit and crowded with people. Many big-name stars and celebrities came to watch the game.

"Little Plum" Leonard, "Pirate Captain" Johnny Depp, Chris Evans and other popular actors, as well as female stars such as "Widow Sister" Scarlett Johansson and Big Cousin ...

Of course, such a lively occasion cannot do without Li Kaiwen's big-name female fans, Jenna, Moretz, Rihanna and others even came to the scene early.

Half of the American entertainment industry has come.

Because of Li Kaiwen, the organizers of this year's All-Star Celebrity Challenge invited many Chinese stars who have broken rice.

Wu Yanzu, Michelle Yeoh and others all sat in the front row, and even Wu Yanzu was invited to participate in the celebrity challenge!
In the Celebrity Challenge, the amateur or intentional basketball moves of the stars on both sides made the audience burst into laughter. Wu Yanzu scored 10 points and won the Masters MVP!

After the game, he happily took photos with Li Kaiwen and Zhou Qi who were cheering on the scene, and finally waved his hand and donated a sum of money to Indiana's community charities.

After singing and dancing, today's highlight - the Rookie Challenge is here!
This year's Rookie Challenge follows last year's competition system. League rookies, sophomores and G League players will form four teams to compete for the championship in three mini-tournaments.

The participating players include 11 NBA rookies, 10 NBA sophomores, and 7 NBAG players.

Wen Banyama, Li Kaiwen, Scott Henderson, Brandon Miller, George Shelby and others were all selected,
The sophomores also selected several high-ranked rookies from last year, such as last year's best rookie Paul Banchero, Benedict Maturin, Jaden Ivey and others.

This Rookie Challenge will consist of three mini-tournaments, and the 28 selected above will be divided into 4 teams to participate.

The 4 teams will compete in pairs to decide the winner to participate in the final.

Each game will have a target score: 40 points, there will be no game time limit (the attack time is still 24 seconds), the first team to reach 40 points by shooting or free throws will win the game.

The two sides in the final will have a target score: 25 points. There will be no game time limit (the attack time is still 24 seconds). The first team to reach 25 points by shooting or free throws will win the Rookie Challenge Championship.

In the first game, Li Kaiwen was selected on the C team. Fortunately, this year's No. [-] pick, Wen Banyama, was also on his team.

In this kind of entertainment game with low confrontation intensity, Wenban Yama directly became the God of War in the first game. Under the series of Li Kaiwen, he scored 40 points out of 25.

As the second-tier league of the NBA, the G-League, even if a bunch of the strongest players in the league are selected, there is no way to fight back against this group of talented young people.

40 to 30, Team C won easily.

Over there, another rookie team battled against an NBA sophomore team and lost 38-40.

Next is the rookie C team against the NBA sophomore team.

"Next, let's enjoy today's final climax, rookie C team vs. second-year mixed team!" The passionate voice of the MC at the scene drove the enthusiasm of the audience, and the stars sitting in the front row all stood up and fought hard for The lads who ran on the field were encouraged.

"NBA Sophomore Team, Paul Bancaro... Jamie Sohan!"

When Suo Han's name was mentioned, there was a burst of strong screams in the audience. This young man who resembled Hanamichi Sakuragi is also very popular in the United States!
"Rookies, Scott Henderson, Brandon Miller, Armen Thompson, Kevin Lee!"

"as well as,"

MC deliberately paused here,

"From the Spurs, Vinbanyama!"

Now the arena was boiling, and the shouts of "MVP" spread to the center of the field one after another.

The super popularity of Wenban Yama seems to be a foil to everyone else today!

The game started quickly, and the stars all sat down and began to enjoy the performance of the lads.

Wenbanyama easily points the ball away from Jazz sophomore Kessler, last year's All-Star Skills Challenge champion.Li Kaiwen was about to reach out to catch the ball, but saw Scott Henderson from the same team jumped out ahead of time and took the basketball away.

Before everyone could react, Henderson rushed into the penalty area, slammed into Keegan Murray, who was standing in front of him, and completed a stunning gliding dunk.

This year's No. [-] pick Scott Henderson's draft template is Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook, all guards with strong bodies and good dunks.

His physical completion is the highest among rookies in this class. After playing for the Ignition team for one year, he is more adaptable to the NBA environment than other rookies.

Brother Epiphany covered his chest and glanced at Henderson, no, it was just an exhibition match, are you serious, Asen?

Switching to the second-year team's offense, Maturin of the Pacers threw the basketball to Banqueiro who ran inside.

Banqueiro and Brandon Miller pretended to sit and confront for a while, and then the sensible Hornet Tanhua directly released the water into the Pacific Ocean, watching Banqueiro turn around and go to the basket to take off for a dunk.

But as soon as Bancaro jumped up, Henderson flew out from the side, and a block shot by a flying fairy slapped the basketball onto the backboard!

The basketball bounced back on the backboard, and Li Kaiwen rushed towards the opponent's penalty area without looking back.

But Henderson was still defiant. He didn't even look at Li Kaiwen, who had run to the basket and was unmarked. He slowly killed the half court and rushed to the free throw line to shoot a long two-pointer.

Hollow into the frame!

Li Kaiwen clapped his hands to signal a good shot, but Henderson didn't look back at him.

He shook his head, this kid is a bit arrogant!

And Banqueiro, who had just had a big hat, was also full of anger. They let me go in an exhibition match. You insisted on flying out to give me a hat.

Looks like you're good at dancing, right?

It's about intensity right from the start, right?

Henderson didn't care about the atmosphere that had suddenly become tense. This round, he used all his strength to stop the breakthrough Maturin, and prepared to take out the ball with his hands up and down.

Maturin was also hit by the real fire, he directly shouldered Henderson away, jumped high and shot.

Of course Henderson jumped up, but his height of 1 meters is really not enough, this time he can only watch the basketball hollow into the frame.
