A total of three people from the Knicks participated in the All-Star Weekend. They are Lian Dao who will participate in four events, David Lee who will enter the All-Star Game as a substitute, and Gallinari who will participate in the Rookie Challenge.
However, it is a pity that DeMar did not enter the final nine-man list of the Rookie Challenge. DeMar did not perform very well at the beginning of the season because of his shooting stability.
Compared with Stephen Curry, Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings, DeMar is indeed somewhat inferior.
Ty Gibson entered the nine-man roster of the Rookie Challenge. Due to Lian Dao's reason, Ty Gibson, who was supposed to go to the Bulls, was selected by the Suns. This season, he also played steadily in the Suns. Tadamier's presence, but his playing time is not too small.
Especially the Suns' run-and-gun tactics, Gentry often put Taj Gibson and Stoudemire on the court at the same time, and it played an unusual effect, mainly because Taj Gibson's defense was very good, which once strengthened the Suns Inside defense.
On February 13th, the morning is mainly about some media interviews and fan carnival, and there is also the NBA Celebrity Game, which is a team composed of a group of basketball-loving Hollywood stars and sports stars from other sports.
But let's not talk about it, it's really interesting, after all, it's not easy to watch these stars play basketball across borders.
In the afternoon is the community service activity, which is the nba care action.
Lian Dao set off for Dallas on February 12, and Lian Dao was accompanied by a young senior sister.
This time Lian Dao participated in the All-Star Game, Anta also specially sent a pair of limited edition ld-1. Lian Dao participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, and the popularity was very high. It can be said that this time is the best way for Anta to expand its influence .
The two pairs of limited edition ld-1s that Lian Dao collected are really reluctant to wear, you must know that each number is unique.
When the opening ceremony of the rookie competition began, the shoes on Lian Dao's feet immediately became the focus of attention of the photographers!
The sales of ld-1 are not only hot in China, but also in the United States. In particular, the limited edition of ld-1 has doubled in the second-hand market, but it is still priceless.
At this time, Lian Dao actually played in the limited edition ld-1.
The limited edition sneakers are generally collected by some sneaker collectors.
However, Lian Dao is used for actual combat, which can be said to be really eye-catching.
Stephen Curry on the side looked at Lian Dao enviously. Although he signed with Nike, he was wearing Nike Hyperdunk, which is also the sneaker provided by Nike for most of its rookies.
Curry looked at the sneakers on his feet, and then at Lian Dao's limited edition ld-1, feeling an indescribable sadness.
The most important thing is to look good!
Have a face!
He also wanted to sign a shoe, but Curry knew that was unlikely.
Not only Curry, but even James Harden kept looking at the shoes on Lian Dao's feet.
Especially the two silhouettes on the shoes, there is an indescribable arrogance, James Harden is also drooling.
Freshman Team: Tyreke Evans (Kings), Omri Caspi (Kings), Stephen Curry (Warriors), Lian Dao (Knicks), Brandon Jennings (Bucks Team), James Harden (Thunder), Taj Gibson (Suns), DeJuan Blair (Spurs), Jonas Jerek (Pistons).
Sophomore Team: Derrick Rose (Bulls), Michael Beasley (Heat), Eric Gordon (Clippers), Kevin Love (Timberwolves), Brook Lopez ( Nets), Danilo Gallinari (Knicks), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Marc Gasol (Grizzlies), OJ Mayo (Grizzlies) .
The Four Heroes sat on the sidelines, laughing at each other and watching the Rookie Challenge. Pau Gasol also came. He was cheering for his younger brother Marc Gasol. Beside Paul was Kobe and Yao Ming who was recovering from his injury. He also came to the scene to cheer for Lian Dao.
Unexpectedly, this rookie challenge will attract so many big-name players.
Unexpectedly, a rookie challenge can also be star-studded!
Many people are optimistic about the second-year team in this game, but the strength of the second-year team is indeed strong. Let's not talk about Derrick Rose and Westbrook, let's talk about the second-year insiders, Kevin Love, Marc Gasol and Brook -Lopez has already proved his strength in the regular season.
However, although the first-year team is also very strong inside, compared with the second-year team, it is a bit...
The commentators for this game are Kenny Smith and Barkley. Kenny Smith is definitely optimistic about the second-year team. Barkley is optimistic about Lian Dao as always. Yes, this fat man is not optimistic about the first-year team, he is optimistic about Lian Dao.
After the opening ceremony, the game started soon.
First-year team starters: Brandon Jennings, Tyreke Evans, Lian Dao, Ty Gibson, DeJuan Blair.
Sophomore starters: Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Mike Beasley, Kevin Love, Brook Lopez.
The second-year team gave the first-year team a bad start. After Westbrook hit the basket, he took the lead in scoring with a dunk.
Nearly 100,000 spectators in the audience also gave warm applause for the first goal of the audience. The cameras of the stadium swept across the auditorium. There are a lot of fans.
Barkley said: "Among today's fans, there are so many fans wearing sickle jerseys. There are almost 10,000 people. This phenomenon is rare even for James or Kobe."
Kenny Smith also nodded: "Although what you said is a bit exaggerated, I have to say that Sickle has a lot of fans, and many of them are female fans. You must know that there are not many female fans in basketball games, but Sickle happens to be with this The phenomenon runs in the opposite direction, I have to say that he has the face of a star, but he has the strength of a star, and he grows in the aesthetics of almost all women."
At this time, Lian Dao just broke through Mike Billis, went to the basket, and ended the attack with a windmill dunk.
Because it was a rookie challenge, they didn't defend seriously at the beginning, it was just a symbolic single defense.
I didn't come to the All-Star Weekend to watch the defensive battle, so no matter if it was a first-year or a second-year student, they didn't have much defense and played as gorgeously as possible.
Although Rose participated in the Rookie Challenge, his offensive desire was not high, and he was even intercepted by Brandon Jennings during the transition between offense and defense.
Immediately afterwards, it was passed to Lian Dao who was going down quickly, and Lian Dao hit a jumper with an emergency stop at the 90° three-point line.
In the second grade, Mike Bliss originally wanted to return a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, but unfortunately he missed the shot and was grabbed by Ty Gibson for a rebound.
Immediately, Gibson sent a long pass to Lian Dao, Lian Dao stopped outside the three-point line again, and took a step back from the position where he made the shot before.
"brush!"
Lian Dao pointed to Ty Gibson.
Gibson was also very excited at this time, and the two clapped hands to celebrate.
In the second grade, Derrick Rose also saw some clues through Lian Dao's two goals, so he also wanted to return one.
However, it didn't hit.
After Tyreke Evans grabbed the rebound, he hesitated and passed the ball to Lian Dao.
Lian Dao was outside the three-point line this time, two steps away, already on the edge of the logo area, and shot again.
Return!
The fans at the scene also burst into cheers. Through these three goals, the fans can also see that every time Lian Dao's three-point shot is farther than before.
"Haha, Sickle is going to be fully fired in this game, Kenny, the second grade may be in danger." Barkley said to Kenny Smith.
"Sickle seems to be challenging his limits. What are the second-year players doing? They just let Sickle shoot three-pointers. The second-year is a bit arrogant." Kenny Smith also knows how scary Lian Dao feels.
The previous top five goals, Lian Dao hit the Thunder basket from within the Thunder's three-point line. Kenny Smith shook his head when he saw Lian Dao's goal and said: "Sickle will teach children badly." ."
Everyone here in the second grade saw the clues at this time, they didn't want Lian Dao to ride wild on their necks.
So Westbrook was the first to double-team.
