I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 158 Winning the Rookie Game MVP
“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 on the first-year team?" Kenny Smith asked.

"It's really hard to choose. The first-year team players all played very well. If I had to choose one, I would choose Sun because I am his most loyal fan." Barkley replied with a smile.

"Sun's data is really good, and there is a high chance of winning it, so let's continue to watch the next awards ceremony."

After Kenny Smith finished speaking, he refocused his gaze 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 ass of the second-year team hard." Curry said excitedly.

"Victory, victory, we defeated the egomaniacs of the second-year team." Harden shouted happily.

On the other side, Westbrook, who had not yet exited, clenched his fists when he heard it.

"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.

"Go back and clean you up again!"

After the big tortoise made his plans, he walked towards the bench, not wanting to stay in this sad place.

At the same time, other players from the second-year team sadly 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 of the first-year team played well.

Therefore, there is still some suspense about the ownership of the MVP of the rookie game.

In this game, the top four performers of the first-year team were: Sun Yi, Curry, Evans, and Blair.

It can be said that the MVP of the rookie game will be produced among these few people.

Evans' performance in this game was remarkable, scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

He played a very critical role in connecting the team's offense, which cannot be reflected by statistics.

Blair scored a double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds, and is a strong contender for the MVP of the rookie game.

Curry's data is much better than these two.

在上场的32分钟内，三分球18投12中，砍下了39分2篮板2助攻2抢断的全面数据。

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.

在上场的34分钟内，得到了30分15篮板16助攻2抢断2盖帽的三双数据。

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 executives didn't pay much attention to it at all, thinking it was nothing to watch.

But Sun Yi actually got a super triple-double data of 30+15+15, and led the weak first-year team to complete the following defeats.

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 host's microphone, opened the envelope in his hand, and loudly announced the ownership of the MVP of the rookie game.

"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 auditorium, the fans felt that there was a shady scene and booed bursts.

Mark Tatum ignored the boos and continued: "And Sun Yi! Congratulations to both of them!"

"Sun, did you hear that, we won the award!" Curry was more excited than himself when he heard the award, and jumped up and down while pulling Sun Yi's arm.

"Stephen, I heard you, you don't have to speak so loudly."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the alliance always likes to tease people's appetites, so they couldn't finish talking at once.

There were no boos in the auditorium, and then applause and cheers broke out like mountains and seas.

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 over the trophy 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 be the MVPs of the rookie game. Their performance is obvious to all. Congratulations to them." Kenny Smith congratulated.

"At first I thought it was a shady scene, and I wanted to rush forward to seek justice for Sun, but I didn't expect the alliance to be so naive and deceive 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 echoed.

"It's time for us to catch the culprit. This game will be broadcast live here, and 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 to wash and cool off.

In the process of taking a shower, Sun Yi took the mission reward by the way.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission: Xingyao All-Star ([-])!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining the number of non-attribute points +5."

“叮！恭喜宿主首次获得新秀赛MVP，奖励绿色护腕+1、10倍训练加成卡+1、高级营养液+50、5万训练点。”

Sun Yi quickly received the reward, and then replaced the [White Bracer] in the equipment bar with a [Green Bracer].

After finishing his work, he opened the personal attribute 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 1 point addition was not reserved, and was used on the three-point attribute, making the three-point attribute reach 60 points, and the long-range shooting ability has been improved.

After adding points, Sun Yi turned off the system panel with a happy mood, and then took a quick shower.

After taking a shower, Sun Yi returned to the locker room and saw that the temporary teammates had almost 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.

"It's better for you to go and play. 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 shuddered immediately after hearing this. He was stunned by Harden before, and he 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 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 primary school student with pitiful eyes.

You are giving up the entire forest for a tree, you are so confused!

Harden forgave the elementary school student and didn't go out for a while, and followed Sun Yi and others back to the hotel where he was staying.

After returning to the hotel, Sun Yi felt that it was still early and he had nothing to do, so he went to the gym for extra 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 physical monster, he will be alive and well after a night's rest." Curry said enviously.

"If only I had such a talent, it would be fine to go to nightclubs every day to have fun." Harden whispered.

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 car they had already leased.

"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 know everything, don't disturb my driving, or we will be in the headlines tomorrow." Sun Yi said jokingly.

Curry didn't want to be in the headlines yet, so he stopped disturbing Sun Yi and leaned back on the seat with his eyes closed.

After arriving at the airport, Sun Yi and Curry successfully picked up Lily Collins and Ayesha.

After exchanging pleasantries, they got into the car and went to the hotel where they stayed.

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 for 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 of each team must complete these six shooting points in turn, and the team with the least time wins.

The Texas team, which played at home, performed well in the final. Nowitzki hit a half-court goal. He led the team to beat Los Angeles in 34.3 seconds to win the championship.

The next competition is the skill competition.

The skills game is a game that tests the basic abilities of players, and will test the players' ability to dribble, pass and shoot.

The contestants in this skills competition include Jennings, Nash, Rose and Deron.

Due to Rose's injury, he chose to give up the chance to defend his title and let Westbrook play instead of him.

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 slam dunk contest, the three-point contest was another high-profile event tonight.

The contestants are: Cook, Billups, Anthony - Morrow, Frye, Gallinari and Pierce.

In the qualifiers, Cook, Frye and Gallinari scored only 15 points and were eliminated one after another. Morrow, Pierce and Billups advanced to the final.

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.

After hearing this, Sun Yi was speechless, thinking that the elementary school students wanted to abuse the 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 final event to be played is the dunk contest.

Since James released the pigeons of the league again, this slam dunk contest is nothing to watch.

The contestants in this dunk contest are: DeRozan, Shannon Brown, Gerald Wallace, Nate Robinson.

In the qualifiers, Brown and Wallace did not perform well and were eliminated one after another. DeRozan and Nate Robinson joined hands to advance to the finals.

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 for the first dunk to 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 super popularity became a bonus item for DeRozan's dunk.

Sun Yi came to the bottom line on the right side and hit the ball on the side of the backboard. DeRozan followed up and soared into the air. After receiving the pass, he made a windmill dunk and won rounds of applause from the fans.

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 leader.

As for how much Sun Yi helped in it, I don't know.

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!
