对于中国球迷来说,今年的新秀挑战赛由于易建联的入选彻底改变了其以往的形象。在我看来,以前的新秀赛更类似于全明星周末这道饕餮盛宴餐前的开胃酒,虽然开胃却是越来越食之无味。但是今年的新秀赛由于加入了多种元素而格外引人关注,也让人们对这场年轻人的青春对决充满了期望。 For Chinese fans, this year’s rookie challenge due to Yi Jianlian’s selection has completely changed its previous image. In my opinion, the previous rookie match is more akin to the aperitif before the gluttonous feast of All-Star Weekend, although the appetizer is more and more tasteless. But this year’s rookie season has drawn a lot of attention as a result of the addition of a variety of elements, leaving people full of hope for the young duel.
