今年的新秀挑战赛采用了全新模式,由往年的一、二年级生对战变为了一、二年级球员混合战。为了顺应这个变化,联盟还钦定奥尼尔和巴克利担任了球队经理的角色,各自挑选自己喜欢的球员,结果就形成了所谓的沙克队(奥尼尔队)和查克队(巴克利队)。这个制度创新是为了让两队实力更加平均,也能让主帅更好地将自己的想法贯彻到比赛中。结果呢?球迷们看到了精彩的场面,面貌一新的新秀赛还算是取得了皆大欢喜的结局。 This year’s rookie challenge adopted a new model, from the previous year sophomore battle into a one or two players mixed battles. In response to the change, the league also decided that O’Neal and Buckley would be the team managers, picking their own favorite players and forming the so-called Shaq (O’Neal) and Chuck (Barkley). This system innovation is to make the strength of the two teams more evenly, but also allows the coach to better implement their ideas into the game. The result? Fans saw a wonderful scene, a new rookie race still has achieved a happy ending.
