Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

The first is the Rookie Challenge. This year's Rookie Challenge uses a new format.

It's no longer the same as before, with the second-year team playing against the first-year team.

Instead, all the outstanding players in the first and second grades will be mixed into teams to compete.

Player candidates are selected by the assistant coaches of each team through voting.

The TNT TV commentators Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal were the general managers of the two teams.

On February 2, 16 players were selected from the shortlist in the form of "draft".

"Shark" O'Neal announced his retirement after the end of last season, and then joined TNT TV station.

Barkley and O'Neill, this is the combination of American commentators most familiar to fans now.

In particular, O'Neill founded the "Shaq's Five Great Jiong" program, which once became the most popular TV program among fans.

Of course, that happened later, and what happened now was that the two of them kicked off the reformation of the Rookie Challenge.

A total of 6 players from the Clippers entered the rookie challenge list.

Sophomores Paul George and Hassan Whiteside, respectively.

And freshman Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Thomas.

Whiteside, Butler and Thomas were not originally on the list, but they came to the Clippers in this life.

With the addition of the system, the performance of the two is much better than other rookies in the same period.

So I was very lucky to be included in the rookie challenge list.

Barkley and O'Neill should have also discussed it, and the selection of this time is really a bit of a show effect.

The roster for the "Shaq" O'Neal team is as follows:

Blake Griffin, Oklahoma over the Thunder.

Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ricky Rubio, Minnesota Timberwolves.

Markieff Morris, Phoenix Suns.

Greg Monroe, Detroit Pistons.

Kemba Walker, Charlotte Bobcats.

Gordon Hayward, Utah Jazz.

Derrick Williams, Utah Jazz.

Evan Turner, Philadelphia 76ers.

The roster for the "Chuck" Barkley team is as follows:

John Wall, Washington Wizards.

Jeremy Lin, Charlotte Bobcats.

DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento Kings.

Paul George, Los Angeles Clippers.

Harden Whiteside, Los Angeles Clippers.

Klay Thompson, Los Angeles Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers.

Jimmy Butler, Los Angeles Clippers.

Isaiah Thomas, Los Angeles Clippers.

We all know that Barkley has a close relationship with the Clippers coach Yang Li, but it is really surprising to do things so blatantly.

9 players, 6 are current Clippers players and one is a former Clippers player.

The other two players are the University of Kentucky's big brother and young brother duo.

The effect of this show is so real that Barkley can understand it!

The result of the Rookie Challenge naturally ended with the "Chuck" team defeating the "Shaq" team.

Dabai played center, Clay and Thomas partnered in the backcourt, and Pickle was the striker, Leonard and Butler took turns.

Isn't this the one big four small tactic that the Clippers often use?

When the opponent is still in a mess, this side has already played tactics with you again.

What do you win? !

In the end, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge went to Paul George.

He scored 32 points and 10 rebounds, the highest scoring player of the "Chuck" team.

Next, is the three-point challenge, skill challenge and slam dunk contest.

Curry did not participate in the three-point challenge this year, and the Clippers only had Thompson participate.

In the preliminary round, Thompson scored 21 points and ranked second.

But in the finals, Thompson suddenly "exploded".

25 balls hit 16 balls, including two flower balls, and finally scored 18 points.

Overwhelmed Kevin Love, who scored 17 points, and became the champion of the 2012 All-Star Three-Point Contest.

San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker beat Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo in the final of the Skills Challenge.

Finally won the skill challenge championship.

This year there is also the shooting star project, as we all know, this project is also called "Chris Bosh" star.

Because Bosh's dominance in this project is obvious to all.

His team won the shooting star championship for three consecutive years from 2013 to 2015.

Then there is no more then.

Because in 16, the shooting star project was cancelled.

This year Yang Li specially organized the Los Angeles team to participate in the competition.

The current player is Stephen Curry, and the WNBA player is Candace Parker, who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks.

As for the retired players, Yang Li directly approached Klay Thompson's father, Thompson Sr.

Michael Thompson, the 1978 NBA No. [-] pick, once won two NBA championships with the Lakers.

Now he doesn't realize at all that his son Klay Thompson will join hands with the baby-faced Stephen Curry beside him in the future to establish another brand new dynasty in Los Angeles.

In the end, the shooting star championship was won by the Los Angeles team.

Especially in the final logoshot link, Curry directly made the final decision and killed the game!
