The much-anticipated All-Star Weekend has finally arrived, and today's schedule is still the same as ever, with the All-Star Rookie Challenge. However, unlike previous games, in order to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NBA League, the league changed the original rookie challenge game to three games, including two semi-finals and one final. There are 4 participating teams, and the way to advance is as follows: the team that scores 50 points first in the semifinals advances to the finals, and the team that scores 25 points in the finals will become the champion.
That is to say, the winning team produced after these three games will have a cumulative victory score of 75 points, which coincides with the 75th anniversary of the NBA League. In this semi-final, The Worthy team took the lead against Isaiah. As far as the rosters of the two sides are concerned, there is not a big gap: when The Worthy team has Jaylen Green, the rookie leader, Isaiah also has The Last Champions Edwards. The two sides still performed very hard in this competition, and the contrast between the two sides has never been expanded to double digits.
However, it was a bit of a shame that Vassie's Jaylen Greenming gave up the highest score of 20 points in the game, and Jalen Sachs even contributed 16 points, but was still completed by Bain on the Isaiah side to complete the free throw and advance to the final with a score of 50-49. It is worth affirming that in this game, Edwards' state is not very good, only 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists of the data contribution, and does not play his grand show at all. This side ended the first semi-final, and on the other side, The Paytons game against Barry began again.
Payton's side led the list winner Lamelo Ball against Barry led by the new club Canningham. Compared to the first semi-final, the rivalry between Payton and Barry seems to be much more intense. Barnes and McDaniels were able to hit jumpers in quick succession, but Champion Cunningham was also able to constantly storm the interior and soar three-pointers for a strong counter-attack. The scores of both sides are constantly moving closer to the goal of 50 points in the process of coming and going. However, in the final competition, Tate's pull-bar layup helped Barry to make a final decision, completing the final kill, with a score of 50-48, to complete the promotion.
In the final, Barry played against Isaiah, and the players on The Bari's side were still in hot shape because they had just won the semi-finals. Therefore, from the first time they entered the finals, they played a state of full force, and even if the young player Achuva who was originally selected by the Raptors could make a threat, he could not help Isaiah team to take the lead. As the scores continued to accumulate, the game also reached a crucial decisive moment, Barry with Wagner Jr.'s free throws, successfully played a 25-20 score, and won the All-Star Rookie Challenge.
Looking back at the data, Cunningham's performance was still relatively good, contributing 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and won the honor of MVP of the rookie challenge by hitting the key three points. At the same time, Edwards, who played against him, became a supporting role: only 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in the semifinals, and the final did not even have any data congratulations, becoming a supporting role to foil the new section.
