Chapter 748 The Underestimated Class of 09

Dallas, Texas.

The first two days of this year's All-Star game were held at the Mavericks' home stadium, the American Airlines Center Arena, but the subsequent All-Star Game will be held at the Cowboys Arena in Arlington.

Arlington is located in the northeast, 32 kilometers west of Dallas and 12 kilometers east of Fort Worth. Together with other surrounding cities such as Dallas and Fort Worth, it forms the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolis, the fourth largest urban agglomeration in the United States.

早在2008年10月30日，定于2010年2月14日进行的第59届NBA全明星赛准备在当时尚在建设中的达拉斯职业橄榄球队牛仔队球场举行。

This is the news released by the NBA official, the Mavericks and the Cowboys.

This year's All-Star Game weekend is co-hosted by the Mavericks, Cowboys and the city of Dallas.

The new Cowboys stadium, which cost $11 billion to build, has more than 10 seats. The NBA All-Star Game will be the first game of the four major American professional leagues after the stadium is completed, and it will also break an NBA record ——The largest number of spectators in a single game.

After a series of fan carnivals and NBA care activities, the first game day of the All-Star Weekend ushered in its own highlight - the NBA Rookie Challenge.

When Er Niu was interviewed by Chaoting TV before the game, when he was asked about his views on the rookie game, he said with a smile: "My only opinion is that I will finally not be used to participate in the rookie game!"

When asked who would be the MVP of the rookie game, Er Niu said decisively: "Russell Westbrook, I can't think of a second option in my mind. Rose withdrew from the All-Star game because of a hip injury, so I I think Russell is the favorite to be the MVP of the rookie game!"

Er Niu naturally gave his friends the greatest support, but the game itself has nothing to do with these.

The lineup of the two teams is as follows:
First grade:

Blair (Spurs), Casspi (Kings), Curry (Warriors), Evans (Kings), Flynn (Timberwolves), Gibson (Bulls), Harden (Thunder), Jennings (Bucks) )?, Jerebko (Pistons).

The team's head coach is Nuggets assistant Daintree.

For the second grade:
Beasley (Heat), Marc Gasol (Grizzlies), Gallinari (Knicks), Eric Gordon (Clippers), Brook Lopez (Nets), Love (Timberwolves) )? OJ-Mayo (Grizzlies), Morrow (Warriors),? Westbrook (Thunder).

The team's head coach is Magic assistant Patrick Ewing.

The 09 rookie class is undoubtedly an astonishing rookie class. Before the start of the 09-10 season, they were regarded as a standard draft year, and there were not many big names likely to emerge.

However, just after the season with No. [-] pick Blake Griffin was gone, several guards stood out:

Jennings became famous at the beginning of the regular season, scoring 55 points in a single game; while Evans and Israeli Casspi became the king's dazzling double star; Scored the highest score of his career, and broke or tied 5 personal records in the first battle.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the first graders are very aggressive after the opening, and they don't take the seniors seriously.

Evans and Jennings are the most eye-catching.After 4 minutes of the game, Evans broke through quickly, easily penetrated through the crowd, made a layup, and the freshman surpassed by 15:13.

After the two teams exchanged leads several times, Evans stepped forward to steal the spotlight again. After receiving a pass from Harden, he dunked successfully. Teammate Casspi also succeeded in a layup after that. The freshmen took the lead again with 21:19.

The sophomores have a lot of outside players, and they keep shooting three-pointers, but the shooting rate is not satisfactory.

Shortly after the opening, Gallinari made a three-pointer, but since then they have frequently missed three-pointers.

The first graders gradually widened the gap.

With more than 3 minutes left in the first half, Evans cooperated with his teammate Cassby to make a layup and caused a foul by Westbrook. number advantage.

Gordon got two straight baskets, including an alley-oop dunk, to save the sophomore's face, but Jennings followed suit, too, and the rookies took the lead again after he forced a drive and a non-juggling layup in the air double digits.

In the first half, the freshman led 67:55.

The freshmen continued to maintain their advantage in the second half.

With 10 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, Jennings made a shot after gliding in the air, and the freshman scored 100 points first, leading his opponent 100:86.

The sophomore then narrowed the gap to 10 points at one point.

But then the game entered the first-year track again, Harden returned a three-pointer, Jennings immediately broke through and made a layup, the first-year scored 7 points in a row, and took a 9-107 lead with 90 minutes left in the game .

The defense of the two teams strengthened in the last few minutes. The sophomores began to chase points. They finally found the feeling outside the three-point line. Westbrook made two three-pointers in 20 seconds, chasing the score to 108:116.

Morrow also made a three-pointer after that, but the freshman did not show weakness. Harden scored 4 points in a row, and the freshman opened the gap with 125:111.

Under normal circumstances, the second graders are more likely to beat the first graders. After all, they have an absolute advantage with one more year of experience. But this time, the first graders did not give face to the seniors and firmly controlled the situation.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Curry hit a three-pointer and the first grade led 130-115 by 15 points.The second grade fell into chaos, flustered, made consecutive mistakes, and lost hope of a comeback.

In the end, the rookies defeated the second-year veterans 140:128.

Westbrook scored 40 points, the highest score in the game, but the losing side cannot become the MVP after all.

一年级方面：泰瑞克*埃文斯拿下了26分、6个篮板和5次助攻，布兰顿*詹宁斯22分8次助攻和6个篮板，詹姆斯*哈登也得了22分，德胡安*布莱尔22分23个篮板，斯蒂芬-库里14分。

In the end, Evans and Blair shared the MVP trophy of the rookie game, just like last year's Er Niu and Durant.

However, from the data analysis, the qualifications of these two people to accept the award are far from those of Ruan and Du.

Er Niu gave Westbrook a hug after Durant after the game.

The tortoise did everything he could do, but this game did not belong to the second graders who were divided.

The first All-Star game day will soon pass. After the warm-up of the first day, fans can transfer more expectations to the next two days of games through a series of activities.

Er Niu finally escaped the game on the first day, but in the game day of the second day, he will play the finale.
