As the opener to All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Rookie Challenge hasn't received much attention in the past, but this year is different. These rookie names are very interesting!

Since the 1995-1996 season, the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge has been restructured. Like the All-Star Game, the Rookie Challenge also adopts an east-west system.

The eastern squad is Anthony Walker, Ray Allen, Vitali Potapenko, Marcus Camby, Eric Dampier, Roy Rogers, Allen Iverson, Kerry Kittles, John Wallace

And the West squad of Sharif Abdul Rahim, Michael Udin, Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Travis Knight, Lorenzen Wright, Steve Nash, Stephen Marbury, Samaki Walker.

Prior to the rookie challenge in the draft, reporters were very indifferent to interviewing team members, because asking even more questions would be pointless. The audience won't like watching this little-known newbie speak there. .

But this year is different, the rookies in 1996 have too many Strong characters!

Allen Iverson is amazing in interviews!

"I don't want to be Michael Jordan, I don't want to be Magic Johnson, I don't want to be Bird, I don't want to be one of these great players. When my career is over, I want to tell myself in the mirror that I've played like Alan Iverson did!"

Such statements were crazily sought after by many young people. Many Iverson fans take this statement as their motto. Opening remarks from choice No. 1 also kicks off the All-Star Weekend.

When Kobe was asked about the dunk contest, he also made a very bold statement.

"I will be doing something that has never been seen in the history of the All-Star Dunk Contest. Be it a rookie challenge or a slam dunk contest, I will fight for victory as long as I appear on the court.

But this is not my final goal this year. My ultimate goal is to help the Los Angeles Lakers reclaim the title! "

Kobe's character is like this, even though it is a single insignificant match in the team, he will go all out, and in front of the camera, he will always show his invincible fighting spirit.

Steve Nash hasn't had a chance to play since the start of the game, but he was determined to pursue greatness early in his career.

"It's an honor to be able to play with so many amazing teammates. I think the future MVP is among us, maybe this person is me!"

NBA rookies were always confident about the future, but no one thought that Steve Nash would be a real MVP.

Stephen Marbury, who was still recovering from his injury, also came, and his words were full of gunpowder.

"I will be a rookie this year. The failure of the Philadelphia 76ers to pick me was the biggest mistake in their team's history!

I have a stronger body than Allen Iverson, I have better skills than Allen Iverson, and I have better defensive awareness than Allen Iverson!

If I hadn't had this damn injury, I swear I would have beaten Allen Iverson in the rookie match! "

In fact, the reporter only asked about Stephen Marbury's injury, not mentioning Allen Iverson by name.

Compared to Stephen Marbury's aggressive character, Ray Allen is much more humble, sometimes he doesn't talk like a traditional black man.

"I'm not obsessed with dunk contest results. For me, it was enough to give a good performance to the audience. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the All-Star Game.

If I have the chance, I will participate in the three-figure contest in the future.

For me, the mechanics of the dunk contest competition are very varied, I prefer the sense of control that I can control my destiny when shooting three points.

I think this year's rookies in the East are stronger than in the West. After all, Allen Iverson is on our side. There was no one in the league who could defend this fairy guard.

Being able to play with him really makes me very happy. "

On the other hand, Michael Udin was also interviewed

"Hello, Odin, this is your first All-Star Weekend. How are you feeling?"

"The atmosphere here is very good, you know I'm a foreigner, everything here is different from what I heard, haha!"

"The media and fans are generally optimistic that the Eastern Conference rookies led by Allen Iverson will win. What do you think about this?"

This young female reporter often interviewed Michael Udin, and the two could be considered to have a certain tacit understanding.

"As an international player, I'm used to the feeling of being disliked by other people.

Anyway this game is played by ourselves, so it doesn't matter if we are optimistic about this kind of thing. "

Michael Udin could only smile at such a thing.

"In our TNT letter, Allen Iverson is not the hottest rookie!

You are the first year rookie that fans talk about the most. Fans care who you've been dating recently?

The fans even picked your new date!

Many fans think that you will date a Hollywood Actress. How would you like to respond to such a rumor? "

"Amazing, this sounds so amazing!

I am very happy that my performances on the pitch won the love of the fans. I have high hopes for my fans. I hope fans give me good suggestions for my future dates."

"I'm not surprised that this happened to you, you are much more popular than you think!

Let me tell you one more piece of news, tomorrow there will be a special cheering group formed by the UCLA girls volleyball girls to come to the scene at the game!

They are here for you!

Is there anything you want to say to them? "

Regarding this matter, this reporter's face was full of ambiguity!

"Oh my God! They actually came all this way to cheer me up!

They were still students, and there were plenty of places to spend money. for these girls I will reimburse them all.

Besides, they are just children, I hope they can pay attention to safety!

For me personally, these attractive girls are my friends.

They didn't come to see me lose, I will try my best to win and fight for them!"

Michael Udin was very touched by the beautiful and tall girls who always teased him.

In terms of his salary level, paying for travel expenses for more than a dozen girls is still a lot of money, but Michael Udin believes that this money should be spent on his own.

"Good luck, Odin!

Wish you a great performance tomorrow! "

The interview ended like this, which almost made Michael Udin just smile wryly.

Michael Udin has prepared plenty of answers on the technical and tactical aspects of tomorrow's match, but this TNT reporter is actually asking some gossip questions!

However, this issue also takes the topic of Michael Udin to new heights. NBA stars are already in the elite class of the United States, but if they are really related to a popular Hollywood actress, that means she will be even more Famous!

After the media meeting, the East and West teams started training. The coach of the rookie team in the West is Carl, the head coach of SuperSonics.

West's initial roster included center Michael Udin, power forward Sharif Abdul Rahim, small forward Kobe Bryant, shooting guard Derek Fisher, and point guard Steve Nash.

The Eastern Conference line-up includes center Marcus Camby, power forward Eric Dampier, minor forward Anthony Walker, shooting guard Ray Allen and point guard Allen Iverson.
