This year's Rookie Competition is different from previous years' Rookie Challenge, adopting a new competition format.Previously, the Rookie Challenge had a team of first-year players challenge a pair of second-year players.This year, the first-year players and the second-year players are mixed and arranged into two teams to start a confrontation, so as to create a bigger gimmick and attract more audience and media attention.

First of all, the participating players of the Rookie Challenge will be selected by NBA assistant coaches, and each team will have one voting opportunity.In the end, in the second grade, Blake Griffin was selected without hesitation. At the same time, Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe, who had amazing performances with the Lakers this season, were also undoubtedly selected.

A total of 18 players were selected, and then in the [-]-man list, former NBA superstars Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley will play the roles of general managers of the two teams, and each select their favorite nine players (later increased to ten players per side), forming "Team Shaq" and "Team Chuck".

In the end, Shaquille O'Neal selected Clippers power forward Blake Griffin in the mock draft, Lakers point guard Lin Fengzhe and center Li Yifeng, Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio, and the Suns The power forward Markieff Morris, Bobcats point guard Kemba Ike, Knicks point guard Larry Fields, Heat point guard Norris Cole, Pistons point guard Landon Knight, Cavaliers small forward Tristan Thompson.

Before the game started, Lin Fengzhe said hello to his relatives and friends on the sidelines, and then went to fart and chat with his temporary teammates.

O'Neal's starting lineup is Li Yifeng, Blake Griffin, Lin Fengzhe, Brandon Knight, Ricky Rubio.

Barkley's starting lineup is DeMarcus Cousins, Derrick Williams, Paul George, Evan Turner, Kyrie Irving.

At the beginning of the game, Li Yifeng successfully jumped the ball. Lin Fengzhe took the basketball and did not hand it over to the team's point guard Ricky Rubio. Score.

Kyrie Irving dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without passing the ball. He shot a three-pointer and wanted to pay Lin Fengzhe back. Unfortunately, the basketball crashed out of the basket. DeMarcus successfully grabbed the rebound and scored two points with two dunks.

Ricky Rubio took the ball to the frontcourt and began to show his passing skills. He took a look at Li Yifeng and started to break through for a layup. He passed the ball from the waist in the air. After receiving the ball, Li Yifeng directly took off and dunked with one hand, scoring two points.

As soon as the game started, both sides of the game sent two dunks respectively, setting off a small climax.

Since it is a Rookie Challenge, it is mainly for the entertainment of the public, and the defense of both sides is not very strict, so there are countless alley-oops and fancy dribbles, passes, and passes. The fans who watched it were hooked.

At 6 minutes into the first half, the two sides began to rotate players. The O'Neal team went up and down, and only Li Yifeng stayed on the court.The Barkley team left only Derek Williams on the court alone. Just now he made four of five three-pointers.

In the 6 minutes of the first half, Lin Fengzhe scored eight points and two assists, and made all four shots.The game was played very easily, and the defense was almost useless. Lin Fengzhe was just sweating slightly on his forehead.

The game continued, and Kemba Walker assisted a layup by Landry Fields who slipped to the baseline and was open.

John Wall dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made an emergency stop jump shot. He used too much force. The basketball hit the backboard. The rebound was picked off by Li Yifeng, who protected the ball and passed it to Kemba Walker. .

Kemba Walker made a pass to Tristan Thompson for a two-pointer from long range.

Soon after 10 minutes of the first half, the Rio Neal team played a 15 to 5 spurt during the period after the personnel rotation between the two sides, pulling the score to double digits in one fell swoop.Li Yifeng was replaced. In 10 minutes, Li Yifeng scored 5 points and [-] rebounds. There was no counterattack.

The O'Neal team replaced Blake Griffin to play center, and the other four positions were replaced by Lin Fengzhe, Norris Cole and others, forming a small lineup.For Barkley, DeMarcus Cousins ​​and the team's four forwards and swingmen were replaced again. This lineup looks a bit strange.

As soon as Blake Griffin came on the court, he began to abuse the basket. First, Lin Fengzhe threw the ball high after breaking through, followed by Blake Griffin's right arm stretched out, and his right hand was wide open to catch the basketball It's a one-handed tomahawk dunk.Then Brandon Knight missed a mid-range jumper on the left, and Blake Griffin squeezed away DeMarcus Cousins ​​without any pressure, and scored two more points with two-hand dunks.

On the Barkley team, Paul George controlled the ball, organized the team's offense, and passed the ball to DeMarcus Cousins ​​at the basket.DeMarcus Cousins ​​did not attack after receiving the pass, but passed the ball back to Paul George again after hitting a three-pointer from the three-point line. A three-pointer narrowed the gap between the two teams in one fell swoop. The score came to 50 to 48, only two points behind the O'Neal team, but the momentum of the entire Barkley team has already risen.

The O'Neal team began to make adjustments, replacing Li Yifeng to add an offensive strength to the team, and at the same time let Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng play the strength of their cooperation.

Norris Cole steals the pass from Evan Turner to Paul George, and he plays a fast break. Facing the fast-returning Paul George with a backhand layup, he gets two points and widens the gap again.Then Li Yifeng and Blake Griffin ensured rebounds in the interior, Lin Fengzhe took Norris Cole and Landry Fields and started to put three-pointers on the outside, and the score was drawn again like this. Eight points, and then the difference between the two sides stabilized.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding. The O'Neal team began to relax after leading the opponent by eight points, but as soon as they scored five points, they immediately began to tighten up.Under the tacit understanding of both sides, the game has entered the see-saw period, but all kinds of wonderful dribbles and dunks are also indispensable.

At the end of the first half, O'Neal led 78 to 70 by eight points entering the halftime break.

Blake Griffin was pure play, worth six points and four rebounds.As for Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng, they played with great interest. Li Yifeng scored [-] points and [-] rebounds, and Lin Fengzhe scored a game-high [-] points, and also scored seven assists.

After the intermission, the two sides changed places to fight again.

Ricky Rubio played from the right and passed John Wall for a floater.

Lin Fengzhe, who was resting on the sidelines, looked at Ricky Rubio and thought to himself, "This guy's breakthrough is not bad, he is also good at passing and organizing offense, but he is really lacking in laziness. A solid scoring point."

Kyrie Irving made a weak three-pointer, passed the basket, and fell into Li Yifeng's hands, giving Li Yifeng a rebound.Li Yifeng dribbled the ball to the front court by himself, and played a few tricks in the middle like a guard, and directly shot a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, hitting the net hollowly.

Li Yifeng, who hit a three-pointer, grinned in the direction of Kyrie Irving and wanted to run to his own half.Only Kyrie Irving was left feeling depressed, "Is the center's three-pointer more accurate than mine? Is there any reason!"

Paul George is dribbling up the frontcourt and Ricky Rubio is guarding him.Ricky Rubio saw the timing, and as soon as the basketball left Paul George's hands, he immediately sprang forward like a cheetah, and the right hand was able to point out the basketball, and then quickly caught up with the basketball and dribbled the ball for a fast break.

Derek Williams of the Barkley team next to him was the first to return to the defense, followed by Ricky Rubio, and did not give him a chance to score a layup.Ricky Rubio slowed down slightly and then accelerated and still didn't get rid of Derrick Williams' defense. Fortunately, he saw Landry Fields on his side out of the corner of his eye and passed the ball immediately .Landry Fields makes dunk.

Twelve minutes into the second half of the game, Lin Fengzhe made his debut in the second half after another rotation of personnel between the two sides.As soon as Lin Fengzhe came on the court, he hit two consecutive three-pointers, widening the point difference to [-] points. After being strictly guarded by the opponent, he gave up his personal scoring and sent a series of wonderful passes.

Although the Barkley team once launched a climax of rework and once chased the score to five points, they eventually lost to the O'Neal team.In the end, the O'Neal team defeated the Barkley team 153 to 140 and won the Rookie Challenge.
