NBA全明星赛今日开战

It's time once again for the 2011 All-Star Weekend, where BAsketball fans can learn to shoot and dribble like professional stars, compete with their friends, or actually rub elbows with celebrity NBA basketball players...

The NBA's rookie class stole the stage from the sophomores with high-flying dunks and sharp passing to win 148-140 in Friday's Rookie Challenge that kicked off the All-Star weekend festivities.

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall made a Rookie Challenge record 22 assists and 12 points to take MVP honors and help defeat the sophomores for the second straight year.

"It was so easy, our coach wanted us to run a couple of plays, but we were pushing the ball and our team did a great job of finishing," Wall told reporters.

Sacramento Kings' DeMarcus Cousins added a game-high 33 points and 14 rebounds to team with Wall in the victory.

In a game full of showmanship and little defense, the sophomores were led by Oklahoma City Thunder second-year guard James Harden, who had 30 points, along with San Antonio Spurs' DeJuan Blair who recorded 28 points and 15 rebounds.

北京时间2月19日，NBA一年一度的新秀对抗赛在洛杉矶的斯台普斯中心进行，一年级队以148-140击败了二年级队，两队总得分也是历届最高。

约翰·沃尔成为一年级取胜的功臣，他全场贡献22次助攻并得了12分，荣膺2011年全明星新秀大赛MVP。德马库斯·考辛斯33分最高，他还抢下14个篮板。韦斯特·约翰逊25分，兰德里·菲尔德斯15分，布雷克·格里芬14分的得分并不算多，但他几次扣篮还是赚足了球迷的眼球。

德胡安·布莱尔为二年级生拿下了28分15个篮板，詹姆斯·哈登30分，布兰顿·詹宁斯15分，塞尔吉·伊巴卡和德马尔·德罗赞各14分。

新秀赛完全是一种娱乐，比赛的胜负没太多人关注，球迷关注的是比赛的欣赏性，希望看到的是高来高去的扣篮表演。
