Reborn in 96, I started by taking charge of the Dallas Mavericks.

After scoring, Kobe went over and high-fived Garnett in celebration.

"That's a good rumor!"

"Your vote was good too!"

After Kobe and Garnett exchanged a smile, the Eastern Conference rookie team launched their attack.

As Iverson dribbled past half-court, Kobe immediately closed in.

Nash understood perfectly well, and went straight to Damon Stoudemire, giving him a blank stare.

"Oh, Kobe has approached Iverson. This looks like he's going to challenge him to a one-on-one match."

On the court, Kobe played shooting guard and Iverson played point guard, so it was difficult for them to have a chance to directly match up.

But if there is no opportunity, you can create one.

Kobe wanted to defeat Iverson head-on.

The two players had a 5-5 record in the previous regular season, resulting in a tie.

The two players' teams belong to the East and West conferences, respectively. If they don't compete in this game, they can only meet in the finals.

Judging from the 76ers' current record, it's uncertain whether they can even make the playoffs.

Waiting until next season is too long, and Kobe can't wait that long.

Like Kobe, Iverson also wanted to face off against Kobe in the rookie game.

Iverson dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, signaling to his teammates to spread out.

The rookie competition was meant to be a performance and entertainment event, and seeing that the two were eager to compete, the crowd readily stepped aside to watch the show.

After everyone pulled him apart, Iverson instantly started his signature crossover dribble.

Kobe was really on defense, sticking close to Iverson in an attempt to stop the shot.

With Kobe's interference, Iverson's first shot missed.

Garnett grabbed the rebound and passed it to Nash to launch a fast break.

Nash dribbled the ball across half-court and passed it to Kobe.

Damon Stoudemire wanted to step in and defend Kobe, but was stopped by Iverson.

"Let me guard Kobe!"

"alright."

Damon knew he couldn't stop Kobe, so he simply gave Iverson a break.

The two faced off again, but this time it was Kobe on offense and Iverson on defense.

Kobe signaled for everyone to separate, and the game became a one-on-one match between Kobe and Iverson again.

The other eight players became spectators, but unlike the others who sat in the stands watching the game, they were on the field.

Kobe held the ball beyond the three-point line, probing with a triple threat, but Iverson remained unchanged in the face of all changes.

Seeing no opportunity, Kobe chose to drive hard.

Iverson stayed in position and didn't lose his footing. Kobe dribbled between his legs, pulled back, and then stepped back to the three-point line. At this point, there was a meter between him and Iverson.

Without hesitation, Kobe pulled up for a three-pointer!

"Shh!"

Hollow hit!

6:0

Kobe came out firing on all cylinders, catching the Eastern Conference rookie team completely off guard.

On the sidelines, Chen Fang sat in the first row of the stands, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face as he watched Kobe make two consecutive three-pointers.

He did so much for Kobe before the game, getting his teammates to pass him the ball and asking Reed Holtzman to give him more playing time, but ultimately it still depended on Kobe's own performance.

If you're given the chance but can't score, there's nothing you can do.

Fortunately, Kobe did not disappoint Chen Fang.

Turning back, Iverson also used a screen from his teammates to take a mid-range shot, helping the Eastern Conference rookies open the scoring.

But the Eastern Conference rookie teams aren't as united as the Western Conference rookie teams.

Before the game, the Western Conference rookie team had communicated with each other, agreeing to give the ball to Kobe whenever he was on the court, but not to Iverson.

So after Iverson played two or three possessions in a row, the other rookies on the Eastern Conference stopped passing him the ball and instead wanted to show off their own skills.

It's a rookie competition, everyone's young, how can we let only one person shine?

And so, the rest of the game seemed to become a one-man show by Kobe.

As long as he's on the court, the rest of the Western Conference rookie team are happy to set up the ball for him.

Even when they had wide-open shots, they wouldn't shoot; they would just feed the ball to Kobe.

In contrast, the Eastern Conference rookie teams played individually, with whoever got the ball taking matters into their own hands.

With Kobe Bryant on fire tonight, the score gap between the two teams widened quickly.

At the end of the second quarter, the Western Conference Rookies led the Eastern Conference Rookies by 21 points, 89-68.

而科比仅用半场时间，就砍下了41分6篮板0助攻3抢断2盖帽的数据，一举打破了新秀赛的得分纪录。

What's funny is that Kobe had 0 assists.

Kobe could have had assists, but the Western Conference rookie team just wouldn't shoot; they just kept passing the ball to him.

After passing the ball a few times, Kobe seemed to understand the situation and simply stopped passing it.

He would go up himself as soon as he got the ball.

The second half began, and both head coaches made substitutions.

Kobe was substituted off the court and rested on the bench.

At the same time, the cardinal also substituted Iverson off the court for a rest.

Without these two players on the field, the game suddenly lost its appeal.

The photographers on site also started to have some fun, frequently panning their lenses towards the audience.

The number of stars in the audience today is no less than that on the field.

Wherever the camera pans, it shows former NBA superstars or current NBA stars.

Bill Russell (Lord of the Rings), Scottie Pippen (Batman), Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dr. J, Grant Hill (Jordan's successor), Isaiah Thomas (The Smiling Assassin), Bill Walton (The Red Giant), Clyde Drexler (The Glide), Wilt Chamberlain (The Ancient Beast), and many other basketball stars were all present.

In addition, many celebrities from the entertainment industry also attended the event.

To Chen Fang's surprise, Charlize Theron also showed up at the event.

Chen Fang wouldn't have noticed her if the camera hadn't panned to her.

The two had met once before. Chen Fang got up, found Charlize Theron's location, and walked towards her.

"Jessica, why isn't number 8 playing? Is he injured?"

"I'm not injured, I'm just taking a break."

As soon as Chen Fang walked in, he heard Charlize Theron talking about Kobe with the person next to her, so he smiled and explained.

"It's you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Charlize Theron turned around and found that it was Chen Fang.

"Charlize Theron, it's been a long time."

Without any hesitation, Chen Fang plopped down next to Charlize Theron.

"Charlize, who is this handsome guy? Introduce him to me."

Chen Fang was already good-looking, and with his designer clothes and high position, he exuded the charm of a mature man.

This masculinity had a natural appeal to 18-year-old Jessica Alba.

At this moment, Chen Fang noticed that there was a beautiful woman sitting next to Charlize Theron.

"Hello, my name is Chen Fang."

"Hello, I'm Jessica Alba."

Upon hearing the name Jessica Alba, Chen Fang was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the other party was the famous Jessica Alba.

Isn't she the actress who played the Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four?

The thought of bringing the Fantastic Four to the big screen in the future made Chen Fang want to build a good relationship with the other party in order to facilitate future cooperation.

Then, Chen Fang extended his right hand in a gentlemanly manner and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful lady."

"Nice to meet you too."

In contrast to Jessica's friendly attitude towards Chen Fang, Charlize Theron was somewhat indifferent to him.

Chen Fang chatted casually with Jessica Alba while observing Charlize Theron.

He noticed that Charlize Theron's gaze kept drifting towards Kobe, who was sitting on the bench.

It's not a good sign when the person you like is interested in your own player.
