No.1 in basketball scoring

Yi Jianlian has averaged 13.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season, along with 1.6 three-pointers, shooting at a three-point rate of 37.1%;

Scola, serving as the third-ranked inside player for the Rockets, mainly as a substitute, averaged 11.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, leading the team in rebounds.

Other second-year players have significantly improved compared to their rookie seasons. Durant, Horford, Thaddeus Young, Wilson Chandler, Al Thornton, and Joakim Noah, even the least strong Wilson Chandler among them, has averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.

The 2007 rookie class, initially ridiculed, has successfully proven themselves worthy of the title 'Draft Year' in their sophomore season.

However, compared to the rookie team, the sophomore team only has Durant as the standout player.

Mayo averages 20.5 points, 3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game; Rose with 15.1 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists; Eric Gordon with 13.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists; Harden with 14.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists; Love with 12 points and 9.1 rebounds; Westbrook with 12.6 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists; Mario Chalmers with 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists; Beasley with 13 points and 5 rebounds; Brook Lopez with 11.6 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.8 blocks.

Oden, averaging 20 minutes, scores 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game; DJ Augustin averaging 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists; DeRozan averaging 11.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2 assists, all went unselected.

From the data and performances, rookie team players, compared to sophomore team players, are still a bit lacking. But they are just rookies, having played one less year. Besides Durant, who has talent well beyond the rookie team's, the other sophomore players don't have a significant advantage over the rookie players.

As the host introduced each rookie, Zhang Yang saw the data performances of this group of first and second-year players. He was filled with anticipation for the game, but was more excited about how these players would grow up. Just thinking about facing these talents made him excited.

Meanwhile, Da Luo was not in as good spirits. Today, Erha was participating in events arranged by the NBA official, and Da Luo had to follow Zhang San to sightsee. Zhang San was the All-Star vote king... Da Luo: I must strive!

The game was indeed intense, tight the whole way through, with the rookie team holding a slight advantage by playing more ferociously.

In the final moments of the game, Durant had a major outburst, scoring 14 points, leading the sophomore team on a 14-9 run, reducing a 7-point deficit to two points. But in crucial moments, Beasley received a pass from Mayo, driving for a layup and converting a 2+1, nullifying Durant's efforts.

In the end, the rookie team narrowly defeated the sophomore team 126-121, rendering Durant's Herculean 51-point effort futile—the second highest in rookie game history!

At the sound of the final whistle, Durant was about to collapse; the sophomore team's six-year reign over the rookie game had ended with him!

Schoolbag: In my rookie year, the sophomore team erupted; now in my sophomore year, the rookie team is exploding. Are they teaming up against me?

After the game, those responsible for organizing this All-Star game began their antics, inviting some retired star players present and All-Star game players to vote for the rookie game's MVP.

Zhang Yang, being the namer of the rookie game trophy, was naturally invited.

He wanted to vote for Harden, but when it came to writing a name, he couldn't bring himself to do it and instead wrote O.J. Mayo.

Harden did contribute, making two three-pointers, totaling 14 points with 3 assists, but Mayo had 21 points and 11 assists, while Beasley had a rookie high of 25 points, and Rose's 15 points with 8 assists weren't bad either. No matter how you look at it, it wasn't Harden's turn.

When it came to the vote counting session, damn Silver actually announced the names of the voters!

Zhang San was relieved he didn't write his good friend's name, but felt the wistfulness of Er Ha's gaze... He'd let Er Ha have a wistful moment, as it was better than being embarrassed himself.

Mayo received the most votes, defeating Beasley and Rose to claim the rookie game MVP.

After the vote counting ended, Zhang Yang was once again invited to be the award presenter since the trophy was named after him. Seeing Silver hosting the award ceremony made him hesitant to go on stage, fearing he'd end up like the Ring King, but since he was here, he had to give face.

Fortunately, Silver didn't act out this time, perhaps disdaining the rookie game MVP award, but Zhang Yang was relieved not to be a sidekick.

However, when Zhang Yang handed the 'Zhang Yang Cup' to Mayo, both felt the atmosphere was extremely awkward as they exchanged looks...

Super Jordan: I've been working so hard to improve my abilities to surpass Zhang San in the future, yet I'm desperately competing for the 'Zhang San Cup' in the rookie game?

…

After resting for two days, Zhang Yang returned to work mode, with one project for today that lasted all day—a sneaker promotion event.

This was the focus of his endorsement work at the All-Star weekend, promoting the 'Zhang Yang III' signature shoes during the All-Star Carnival.

As for his parents and younger brother, it was Little Blonde accompanying them.

Though Emma Roberts appeared rather flirtatious, she was actually very mindful and courteous, clearly demonstrating good upbringing, which initially surprised Zhang Yang. In truth, Zhang Yang's private character and style also initially surprised Emma Roberts. Their relationship evolved from initially considering each other as bedmates to being together, significantly influenced by these aspects.

The time has come for February 18th, Sunday—the spotlight event of All-Star Weekend—The All-Star Game.
