I really play basketball

Chapter 105
Although before the game, the passion team agreed to block Lin Xing.

But when it comes to the game, the ones who really implement this point are Penny and Webber.

Isiah Ryder really doesn't want to have any intersection with Lin Xing, let alone matchup.

Seeing that Lin Xing easily overwhelmed Weber + Penny's defense in the opening game, the two older European rookies who had no interest in this exhibition game lost their fighting spirit in an instant.

The fake center Webber and the fake point guard Pence, one can't stand up to Lin Xing, and the other can't keep up with Lin Xing.

Although it was a one-on-one defense combination, it couldn't stop Lin Xing's impact at all.

So, at the beginning, Lin Xing went crazy.

"Si Da, he broke into the penalty area and dunked!"

"It's still Star, the basket attracts a pinch defense, and a direct pass is made to Sean Bradley."

"It's Si Da again, outside the three-point line, the penny flew away with a cross step, and made a hit on the spot!"

"..."

"It's Star, who crossed away from Penny, rushed directly to the basket, and dunked again!
"He scored the 11th point of the game, and the game only started 5 minutes!"

With 5 points in 11 minutes and 3 assists, Lin Xing is really crazy.

Because of his outburst, the Talents team led the Passion team by 19 points 12 to 7 in the half quarter.

Just this burst of force at the beginning already stunned Webb and Penny.

From the beginning to the present, Weber kept spreading his arms——

"Gan, block him, block him, can you block him?"

"Fk, can you not lose your defensive position so quickly? Huh?"

"Really, I didn't say that, your defense is not as good as my teammates in the Bullets, it's so bad!"

The bullet team's main point, Michael Adams, is 1 meters tall.

With this height, it is already very good to be able to stand on the NBA court, so what defense is needed?

Penny's defense is worse than Michael Adams', so how bad is that?
Penny was also dissatisfied——

"Shut up, Chris, it's your problem that you can't guard Lin Xing!"

Penny thought of the Christmas game again. In the first quarter, he defended against Lin Xing who went 6-for-1.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the Sharks sitting in the restricted area.

But from Penny's point of view, doesn't this just mean that he and Weber couldn't guard against Lin Xing, so it's Weber's problem?

After all, he has rich experience in defending Lin Xing.

When Weber heard what Penny said, he would definitely deny it——

"My question? You're on the horse, and you're the one who's playing against Starbucks. I'm just assisting in defense. Do you know what is assisting in defense? Assisting in defense!"

"But you're lucky, all kinds of things are passed by one step, and the opponent Si Da seems to be me..."

Weber complained mercilessly, Penny blushed and stiffened his neck——

"What do you mean by being passed in one step? I also tried my best to get passed, okay?"

On the court, Lin Xing, who scored two points with a dunk, was stunned to see Webb and Penny arguing.

The All-Star weekend rookie game is just an exhibition game, what's the fuss about?

Thinking so in his head, but in action, Lin Xing stopped in his tracks and applauded the two quarreling.

"Don't just make noise, Chris, beat him, beat him!"

It is impossible to beat up. Although Weber and Penny are not good boys, they are not bad boys who fight when they disagree.

Seeing Lin Xing fanning the flames, the two knew that they were ashamed, so they turned cold faces at each other, turned around and left.

Therefore, Lin Xing only took 5 minutes to break up the temporary Suolin combination of Weber and Penny.

Lin Xing played more easily when Weber gave up Penny's defense.

Until the end of the first quarter, when he was replaced by Nick Van Exel, he had scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

In the commentary booth, the word "scheduled" reappeared in the rivers and lakes——

"With three quarters left, there is no need to continue..."

"The outcome of this game has been decided, the talented team will win the game, and Star will become the first rookie game MVP in NBA history!"

But this time, there were no voices of doubt, not a single one!

Soon, part two.

林星开局登场，打了5分钟，再取7分2个篮板3个助攻1个抢断。

At halftime, the Talents led the Passion by 64 points, 47 to 17.

In the second half, Lin Xing made his appearance at the beginning, scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, he stopped playing.

In this way, the first All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge in NBA history came to an end.

The Talents beat the Passion 116-97, 19 points.

林星只打了20分钟出头，高效的掠下35分10个篮板12个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽，当选新秀赛MVP。

In the Target Center, after half a year, Lin Xing met David Stern again.

Amidst the cheers, the trophy followed Stern and walked to Lin Xing.

Looking at the right hand that Stern handed over, Lin Xing also extended his right hand and shook hands with the old man.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes turned to the trophy behind Stern.

but……

"Don't worry, young man, I still have a few words for you."

"what?"

Lin Xing was stunned. When he saw other people accepting awards, didn't they all shake hands and then raise the trophy?
How come to him, Stern is still on the go?

"You have done a good job during this time, without impulsiveness, but..."

Stern paused for a moment: "In the future, try not to do things that will leave a mouthful."

As soon as Lin Xing heard this, he knew that the old man was referring to the incident where he abolished Xavier McDaniel.

He frowned: "I don't want to either, Mr. President, they forced me."

"I know, I just hope you can go on the right path, understand?"

As soon as Stern said this, Lin Xing understood completely.

It turned out that the old man was afraid that he would become a villain like Bill Lambiel who specialized in insidious activities.

The insidious tricks of the useless may escape the eyes of the on-site referee.

But in this era of advanced media, there must be countless pairs of eyes outside the arena.

Lin Xing abolished a Xavier McDaniel, which is reasonable, and the public opinion turmoil outside the court is only temporary.

But if in the future, Lin Xing used dirty tricks again and again, even if it was reasonable, it would still make sense.

His image in the eyes of the public will also be greatly damaged as a result.

Stern had high hopes for Lin Xing. At first, he just wanted to use Lin Xing to open up the flower market.

But with Lin Xing being elected as the vote leader, he became the first rookie vote leader in NBA history.

He expected even more from Lin Xing.

"This guy is not only attractive to the flower market, but also very attractive to the local market!"

"Maikou retired, the next person to carry the flag has been unable to find..."

He hopes that Lin Xing can carry the banner of the NBA after Jordan retires.

However, if Lin Xing is a villain who specializes in insidious activities.

No matter how outstanding his strength is, no matter how popular his popularity is, this flag cannot be carried.

"I understand, Mr. Stern. If I encounter similar problems in the future, I will solve them simply and directly."

To Stern, there was nothing wrong with it, but in fact, after Lin Xing made another promise, the trophy was handed to Lin Xing.

At the center of the target, he held the trophy aloft to the cheers.

……

Back in the locker room, Lin Xing checked the system.

[Congratulations to the host, becoming the MVP of the NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge, the system rewards 5 honor points. 】

A rookie game MVP trophy, which earned 5 honor points, also confirmed Lin Xing's guess.

"The MVP of the rookie game is equal to 5 honor points, the slam dunk champion and the main game MVP should have more?"

Holding his chin, Lin Xing decided to plan for the final day of the All-Star Weekend one day in advance.

Don't you need a layout for the dunk contest?Of course not!

In this year's slam dunk contest, the opponents are really rookies.

The only thing worthy of attention is Kemp, who has participated in four consecutive slam dunk contests.

Counting this year, it is already the fifth edition.

This guy has strength, but every time he hits a key dunk, he makes crazy mistakes.

Leading to four slam dunk contests, his best result was No.91 in the 2 slam dunk contest.

Why is it said that he has strength? His best dunk, jumping and strolling from the free throw line, was praised as more beautiful than Jordan.

Considering Kemp, Lin Xing will at best pay a little attention to this year's dunk contest.

There were four dunks in the preliminaries and finals. Lin Xing prepared about six dunks, all of which were the most basic dunks.

When the basics are reached, he doesn't even need to practice specially, he can dunk the ball easily.

Therefore, his focus was on the All-Star Game.

The race MVP is not so easy to win.

……

"Sida, you played well!"

Coming out of the target center, Lin Xing saw Peyton.

The two clapped their hands together and got into the car together.

"Where's Sean? Why isn't he here?"

"Sean? He only watched it for more than ten minutes before leaving, saying that he was hungry and wanted to go out for something to eat."

"Hey, didn't he ask you to come with him?"

"No..." Peyton shook his head, then rolled his eyes, "You don't really think he's hungry, do you?"

"Haha, he must have seen my actual dunk, panicked, and wanted to go back and practice a few tricks."

Lin Xing also shook his head. Although he is not that familiar with Kemp, he can still guess Kemp's little thoughts thoroughly.

"But no matter how much you practice, it's useless."

"Reserved?"

"That is!"

"By the way, Gary, have you heard any news about the race the day after tomorrow?"

"information?"

Peyton looked puzzled, the fight will start the day after tomorrow, what news can there be?

"Like, did Hakeem Olajuwon or Clyde Drexler approach George Karl and ask for a cutoff?"

"If you say that, it really does exist!"

Peyton was reminded, and immediately remembered,
"Just yesterday, George came to me and asked me if I had any thoughts on this year's main game. He said that Clyde had approached him and said he didn't want to play for too long..."

"So George Karl wants to give you some of Clyde's time?"

"It should be like this, why, do you have an idea?"

"Hey, it's a lie to say that I have no idea, I'm the top voter, and getting an MVP, isn't that too much?"

Regarding the relationship between Lin Xing and Peyton, just speak up if you have anything to say, there is no need to hide it.

"Not too much, but as far as I know, Sean also has some ideas, and Mitch Richmond, Clyde paddling, the ball is all his."

"He owns the ball? Who defines it?"

"He is a defender, if the ball is not given to him, who will it be?"

"Give it to me, I'm the point guard!"

"Aren't you selected for the forward position?"

"Then I'm also a point guard, and Mitch is a shooting guard!"

"OK, OK, you're a point guard..." Peyton rubbed his chin,

"If you really have an idea about this MVP, I can help you..."

In this way, Lin Xing got Payton's promise that as long as Payton is present, the ball will be given priority to Lin Xing.

With this promise, Lin Xing was full of confidence all of a sudden.

Don't look at Payton as a substitute, but with George Karl, and when Drexler is sure to play less.

Payton, the substitute, is basically the starter.

……

On the eve of the slam dunk contest, Harold Miner, Ryder, Kemp...

Everyone was practicing hard, only Lin Xing slept soundly.

Early the next morning, under the arrangement of the league, he participated in a pre-match press conference.

Facing reporters' questions, Lin Xing's self-confidence was not only exposed, but even leaked.

"Preparation before the game? I don't think I need to prepare. For dunking, as long as I want, I can dunk anytime and anywhere."

"Sean Kemp? I know, he has participated in the slam dunk contest four times, and his best score is second, so it's not that I underestimate him, he is really bad."

"Harold Miner? He won last year because I wasn't around."

"Isiah Ryder, Alan Houston, Robert Parker? Let's go together, I'm afraid of wasting time."

"If possible, I even hope that the competition system can be changed. I will deduct four first, so that my opponents don't have to play."

"..."

At the end of the press conference, a reporter from the New York Times put away his stuff and complained, "This guy is so arrogant!"

Beside him, a local reporter from Minneapolis shrugged: "But it's okay for him to be crazy, I really don't think the other five people in this dunk contest can threaten him.

If Mike comes back, if Dominique Wilkins participates, or if that kid from Florida can make an exception to participate, there will still be a little suspense in this dunk contest. "

"Is that an exaggeration..."

"Don't forget, this guy touched the top of the backboard!"

……

Soon, in the afternoon, the games on the second day of the All-Star Weekend began.

The first thing that started was not the slam dunk contest, but the three-point contest.

The three-point contest is not as hot as the slam dunk contest, so it seems that the three-point contest is more like a warm-up for the slam dunk contest.

Mark Price of the Cavaliers scored 24 points in the final and successfully defended the title.

With Mark Price claiming the [-]-point crown, the crowd at Target Center was already heating up.

In the player channel, Lin Xing and his five opponents are also ready to play.

Before they played, they had drawn lots to determine the order in which they would play.

At this time, the order of appearance is also arranged in this way.

So, amidst the cheers——

Defending dunk champion Harold Miner played first, followed by Ryder and Robert Pike, and then Alan Houston and Kemp.

Lin Xing, who was clamoring to be dunked first before the game, became the last one to appear after the lottery was drawn.

Lin Xing could only sit on the sidelines first, watching his opponents come on stage before him.

Soon, Harold Miner got up and threw off his coat.

Before going on stage, he pointed at Lin Xing.

This made Lin Xing helpless and shook his head.

He really doesn't know what this guy is crazy about, he doesn't know how much he weighs?
Soon, Miner came on the court, grabbed the ball with one hand, turned 360°, faced the basket, and made a heavy dunk.

Clang!
Then, the target center erupted in cheers.

Lin Xing's eyes widened, and the camera was also aimed at him at this moment.

Commentator Hu Beep: "Harold Miner is indeed the defending slam dunk king. This dunk directly dunked Star's face full of surprise."

Yes, Lin Xing was surprised.

But he was surprised that this CBA-level dunk can also get to the NBA?
No matter how hard the NBA dunk is, it won't be a CBA-level dunk at the beginning, right?

It can only be said that Lin Xing watched too many dunks by Jordan, Carter, and LaVine, and also watched too many dunks of his own. He didn't know the true level of the dunk contest in the early 90s.

In the slam dunk contest in the early 90s, there was no Jordan, no Dominique Wilkins, no Carter, not even Potato Webber.

Therefore, dunks in this era have no strength, no level, and no creativity.

In the original historical line, Isiah Ryder was able to win the championship, relying on the crotch changing hands that appeared for the first time in the slam dunk contest.

But many years later, when the crotch changes hands or something, it's just a bad dunk in the slam dunk contest.

From this point alone, we can see how far the slam dunk contest has become in recent years.

Harold Miner sent a CBA-level heavy dunk, which won the cheers of the audience.

Since then, Ryder, Parker, and Alan Houston, who have appeared on the stage, can be said to be better than each other.

Especially Alan Houston, what is the name of the dunk, not to mention the CBA, Bangzi's dunk contest is more exciting than him.

It wasn't until Kemp dunked a free throw line again that he dunked a little bit for viewing.

So, before Lin Xing came out on the field, the scores of the five players in the first dunk were——

Harold Miner 47 points, Ryder 45 points, Parker 45 points, Alan Houston 40 points, Kemp 49 points.

Watching Kemp covering his ears on the court, asking for cheers.

Lin Xing shook his head, he decided to let this group of noobs see what a slam dunk is!
He got up, but there was boos inexplicably in the center of the target.

Lin Xing didn't care either, he found the shark among the crowd, and the two made a secret sign.

Then, Lin Xing took off his training coat, revealing a yellow tights.

The whole audience exclaimed, and the commentator directly revealed the source of Lin Xing's outfit without having to be very knowledgeable.

"Bruce Lee?"

"Is Star going to play Bruce Lee?"

That's right, Lin Xing wanted to play Bruce Lee. His first dunk was originally an unpretentious flying dunk from the free throw line.

But since Kemp had already dunked a free throw line, he decided to make it harder.

Standing on the court, waiting for the target center to quiet down, Lin Xing started.

Outside the three-point line, he slapped the basketball twice, then suddenly started, and rushed out two steps.

Stepping on the free throw line, he jumped straight up...

"Also a free throw line, Star jumps higher than Kemp!"

In the commentary seat, the commentator said so, but actually shook his head.

The reason for shaking your head? Nothing new!
But in the next second, Lin Xing, who was walking in the air, suddenly raised his arms and made a big circle.

Bang!

After a loud frame abuse sound, the entire target center erupted.

"My God, my God, what the hell did Stadt buckle?"

"It wasn't a simple free throw line, he dunked a big windmill dunk from the free throw line!"

Everyone was stunned. The fans who were booing Lin Xing a second ago waved the ten cards in their hands.

"10 points, 10 points, 10 points!"

On the other side of the ocean, Yang Wu, Shuang Ping's eyes widened——

"The free throw line... no, the big windmill... still not right... it's the free throw line and the windmill!
"Lin Xing's buckle, amazing!"

Especially Director Zhang, he has always wanted to see Lin Xing buckle up a big windmill.

Now, he finally got his wish.

"This dunk is not a full score, I don't accept it!"
