Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 98 All-Star Weekend [2 in 1]

(The title of the previous chapter was wrong, this chapter is 96)

...............................

The Rookie Challenge has officially started.

"This is the appetizer for the All-Star game. But if you think the rookie game is not exciting, you are wrong!"

"Yes, I completely agree with you! Who can say that among these rookies, the next Kobe and Wade cannot appear?"

"Gentlemen and ladies here, please let me hear your enthusiasm!"

Under the provocation of Houston's on-site commentary, the fans cheered and the atmosphere reached its peak.

Many active or retired celebrities also came to the side of the court and sat in the front seat to watch the game.

There were many shots of famous players sitting on the sidelines on the big screen.

Yao Ming sat in the first row.Under Lian Feng's arrangement, he sat with Alison.The two talked and laughed.

Kobe was sitting on the other side of the court. When the players on both sides were warming up, Lian Feng saw him take the initiative to say hello.

Kobe smiled, and lightly patted Lian Feng on the shoulder: "Hit dude well."

Naturally, Kobe at this time couldn't say that he regarded Lian Feng as a friend.Lian Feng could also feel that there was still a certain distance between the two.But there is no doubt that Lian Feng has won Kobe's approval with his attitude.

It is very difficult to get Kobe's approval.

More big-name stars are cheering for the rookies on both sides of the court.After all, many of them are teammates of those stars.

Iverson beckoned to Iguodala and Lian Feng to come over, then grabbed the shoulders of both of them and said like a big brother: "Fight well! I will cheer for you on the sidelines!"

Iverson's conflicts with the team have become more prominent during this period, but he has always treated Iguodala and Lian Feng very well.

Lian Feng couldn't describe his feelings for Iverson.He is the first team boss I met when I first entered the NBA. He is also a teacher and friend, and has taught me a lot of experience on and off the court.

More importantly, Iverson is willing to treat himself as a little brother.

Although, despite, there is an inexplicable sense of distance between Iverson and Iverson, but both of them know tacitly that it is respect for their respective lifestyles.

It does not affect Iverson's care of Lian Feng on the court and in life, and Lian Feng's respect for Iverson.

At this time, Iverson cheered up Iguodala and himself, and Lian Feng really felt his inner comfort from the bottom of his heart.

Later, Weber greeted and hugged Lian Feng and the others with black gestures.

"Come on guys!"

The camera also circled this scene.

The commentator said with a smile: "I have to say that Iguodala and Lian Feng are both very popular players in the league. I don't seem to have seen any news about the two of them having a locker room turmoil!"

"Yes, both of them have high emotional intelligence."

Webber and Iverson, the two veteran players sat down and chatted while watching the enthusiasm of the rookie players.

Lian Feng caught a glimpse and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

That is the tension brought about by the alternation of old and new.

After exchanging greetings with all the friends he knew on the court, Lian Feng began to warm up attentively.Because a hit during warm-up will also be counted as a hit on the field to increase the hot zone experience, so he takes his warm-up very seriously every time.

Today's Lian Feng, several hot spots around the basket have already been level 1, and the hot spots at the free throw line and the 45-degree angle on both sides of the middle distance have also been upgraded to level 1.

If this trend continues, within two or three seasons, the dozen or so hot spots that often end up shooting can be promoted to the top.

Of course, the experience value of a large number of hot zones beyond three points is still very low, almost equal to none.

Not only in terms of skills, but he usually does not focus on outside training.

It doesn't matter, just take it step by step.

At the beginning of the game, Bogut jumped the ball on behalf of the first-year team and successfully got the ball.

Villanueva tried his luck at the start, hitting a three-pointer on the left side, and the rookie team scored first.

The second-year team immediately returned the favor. First, Iguodala made a breakthrough, and then Gordon hit a three-pointer. The second-year team took a 5-3 lead.

In the next round, Hurd held the ball at the top of the arc, and Bogut popped up to support him.At this moment, Lianfeng ran out of the empty guard and shouted for a pass.

Bogut seemed to be unable to hear Lian Feng's voice at all, ignoring him while passing the ball to Hurd who obviously had no room to attack.

Then, Hurd chose a bad shot in the middle distance, and the basketball flew out.

Lian Feng sneered, already understanding what Bogut meant.

Just don't pass the ball to me?

very good!

Lian Feng didn't say anything, ran back from Bogut's side, and whispered at the same time: "Who do you guess has the higher ball possession rate between the 3rd position and the 5th position?"

Bogut frowned.

The score rose slowly.

The rookie game adopts the first and second half game system, that is, 20 minutes in the first half and 20 minutes in the second half.In the first 5 minutes, the players on both sides did not enter the state and played very slowly.

Paul made a three-pointer and then went ahead 8-5.

With 14 minutes and 17 seconds left in the first half, Hurd made a fast break layup. This was the first time Hurd scored as the host, and the rookie team expanded its advantage by 13-7.

Lianfeng and Bogut are still scoreless.

It seems that it was indeed influenced by Bogut. Several times, Lian Feng was clearly unguarded and had a good chance, but no one passed the ball to him.

This once made him a little angry.

At this time Paul ran over and whispered: "Man, don't play like this. The rookie game is all about expressing yourself. I know you are very selfless, but don't be like this at this time. Pass the pass that can be turned into an assist. Other than that Besides, do it yourself!"

Lian Feng was slightly taken aback.

Indeed, as Paul said, the awareness of creating opportunities for teammates has been deeply rooted.But these teammates don't care about that. Obviously some passes can create a very good opportunity, but in order to express themselves, they all chose to do it alone.

As Paul said, they only pass the ball that can be converted into an assist.

After realizing this, Lian Feng quickly adjusted his style of play.

Paul dribbled the ball more than half, broke through and reached the inside.Seeing the opportunity, Bogut quickly stood up and got ready for the lob.

However, at this moment, Lian Feng cut in.Paul made a fancy pass with his back, threw the ball high, and gave it to the forward behind.

Lian Feng jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air and poured it vigorously.

Bogut jumped up in vain, with an ugly expression.

"Hmph. This is just the beginning!" Afterwards, Lian Feng began to really torture Bogut.

As Bogut, who doesn't have much ball-handling ability, he already needs outside players to feed him the ball.

First of all, Paul will not pass the ball to him at all.Secondly, the Lian Feng with the strongest breakthrough ability has good finishing ability after breaking through. In addition, the intensity of the exhibition game is not strong, and it can be finished if it can break through. Naturally, there is no reason to pass the ball.

Support is one of the few ways Bogut can directly obtain the ball.Originally, the loose defense in the rookie game allowed him to use his footwork to complete the offense in the low post, but Paul and Lian Feng were often the initiators of the support.

Every time Paul would loudly tell Bogut to go away when he came to the pick-and-roll.

Lian Feng simply ignored Bogut.

At the same time, Lian Feng also participated in the active fight for rebounds.

Because of the golden skill of seeing through the shooting percentage, Lian Feng can always take the lead when grabbing offensive rebounds.His approach has only one purpose: not to ask himself to grab the rebound, as long as Bogut can't grab it.

And Bogut was powerless to stop it.

Originally, offensive rebounds were difficult to grab, and finally got a position, but Lian Feng always rushed out suddenly to distribute the ball, or grabbed it himself.

For a monster like Lian Feng whose touch height is stable at 380+, if he just distributes the ball like playing volleyball.Don't be too simple.

It's just that it's not necessarily who gets the offensive rebound.

As for backcourt rebounds...forget it, let him grab a few.

Before the first half was over, Bogut's mentality collapsed.

Originally, Bogut told several familiar rookies not to pass the ball to Lian Feng, and he just wanted to reduce Lian Feng's stats a little.He also knew that it was impossible for Lian Feng to have no shot rights at all.

But after all the calculations, I didn't expect Lian Feng to do a better job. He didn't pass the ball to himself. I don't know what method he used. Paul also refused to pass the ball to himself.

Paul refused to pass to him is the most fatal.

Fuck!
What a fucking!
Before the end of the first half, Bogut didn't score a point, which caused the on-site commentator to keep saying: "Today, our No. [-] pick seems to be in poor condition, and he hasn't scored a point yet!"

When Bogut heard it, he almost scolded his mother, and yelled directly at the commentator: "Are you blind? Didn't you see that those idiots don't pass the ball to me?"

In the second half, Lian Feng changed his strategy. He began to pass the ball to Bogut, but he used his scheming: "As long as Bogut is in a bad position or is in double-teaming, pass the ball to him."

Bogut, whose mentality has been blown up at this time, will of course choose to shoot.One can imagine how stupid those shots looked to others.

Later, even the commentary couldn't stand it anymore: "Bogut's performance today is too abnormal, he should end the game and take a rest!"

So Bogut really took a break.

Of course, the result of this is that it is difficult for rookie teams to win.

But Lian Feng doesn't care about winning or losing this game.The All-Stars are here to be happy, as long as you are happy.

Watching Bogut suffer, Lian Feng was very comfortable.

At the end of the game, Lian Feng only scored 12 points, but at the same time he had a terrifying 18 rebounds!Most of them were obtained on Bogut's head.

And even though there were not many points, Lian Feng staged two dunks and two alley-oops with Paul, which is not a loss.

Poor Bogut only scored 1 point, which was a free throw in the second half.The number of rebounds is only a poor 5.

Most of the fans showed mocking expressions when they saw his poor performance.

Meanwhile, second-year Andre Iguodala was amazing.

Idala can play both inside and outside. Not only did he dunk brilliantly, but he was also very accurate in long-range three-pointers. He scored a game-high 30 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, making great contributions to the victory for the second-year team.He also became the MVP of the game.At the same time, Gordon scored 17 points, West 15 points, Nocioni 13 points, a total of four people in double figures.

Iverson, who was watching the game from the sidelines, jumped up and down to applaud Lian Feng and Iguodala.

After the game, Lian Feng was interviewed.

The reporter asked him: "How do you feel about this game?"

Lian Feng said without hesitation: "Okay. I played very relaxed in this game. I want to try a different style of play... For example, learn from Rodman. I got 18 rebounds, haha! I think I'm doing pretty well. What do you think?"

Of course, the reporters did not forget to sprinkle salt on Bogut's wound afterwards, and asked him why he performed so poorly today during the interview?
He justified himself: "Are you all blind? They don't pass me the ball at all!"

Bogut's tone aroused the displeasure of the reporters. One reporter pointed out sharply: "Actually, out of the 13 passes Lian Feng sent in the second half, 9 of them were for you."

Suddenly, Bogut was speechless.

Reporters then embellished Bogut's performance with incompetence and rage.

Bogut: Fall!
……

The second day was a complete relaxation. There were celebrity shooting contests, dunk contests, three-point shooting contests, skill contests and other events.

The most eye-catching one is naturally the slam dunk contest.

Iguodala was in good condition, and Lian Feng hammered his chest: "Come on! You can do it!"

Iguodala laughed: "Dude, I hope the next slam dunk contest has you!"

Lian Feng thought about it, maybe it would be a good idea to exchange for a slam dunk performance skill next time.He said: "Then you just wait and see! There will be such a day!"

The judges for the slam dunk contest were Tomjanovich, Moses Malone, Drexler, Kenny Smith and Hayes.

In the end, the slam dunk contest did not change the result because of Lian Feng's arrival.

Although Iguodala was brilliant, he teamed up with Iverson to stage a stunning dunk that took off from the back of the rebound.But at the critical moment, Nate Robinson invited Tudou Webb to cooperate and also got full marks.Two players play an extra round.

In the playoffs, Iguodala narrowly lost by 1 point.

Lian Feng felt it was a pity, but competitive sports are like this, everyone has a reason not to lose.

After the game, both Wade and Kobe complained about Iguodala.

Lian Feng was right next to him, and when he saw Wade, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "You also think Iguodala is better, right? If it were you, how would you choose?"

Wade said seriously: "If I can be a referee, of course I will be objective and fair!"

Lian Feng teased, "9 points?"

Wade showed a strange expression: "What?"

Lian Feng laughed loudly: "No...it's nothing."

……

These two days have been very relaxing. During the spare time of the game, Lian Feng took Alison to wander around and enjoy the romantic time for the two of them.

Of course, even in leisure time, the two did not forget to keep "training".

Lian Feng's energy can be vented on Alison.This girl is really nice, her existence makes me not have to be distracted and concentrate on basketball.

Lying on the bed at night, Lian Feng was thinking about tomorrow's All-Star Game, but what Alison felt was his enthusiasm. Thinking of how many nights in a row... he was so passionate, so she said, "Take a good rest today."

Lian Feng didn't mean that at first, but when Alison said this, he hugged him even tighter and said, "I can't sleep. We have to get tired from playing so we can get a good night's sleep!"

As a result, Alison's face gradually turned red.

……

On the third day, the highly anticipated All-Star Game finally ushered in.

Like Yao Ming who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, Lian Feng was also very nervous when he participated in the All-Star Game for the first time.

Before the game, Iverson came over to Lian Feng and said, "Don't be nervous! You need to relax."

Lian Feng is indeed a little uncomfortable, because among the players he is partnered with, he is obviously at a disadvantage.

The performance of players in the All-Star Game is actually largely affected by fame and qualifications, rather than level and strength.

To put it bluntly, famous and experienced players can get more shots on the court, and teammates will be willing to pass the ball to themselves.

And those players who were selected for the first time will not be treated so well.Even if you want to express yourself too much, you will be labeled as disrespectful to your seniors or "unknown to the rules".For example, in the year of the OK reconciliation, O'Neal, who was no longer at his peak, won the MVP award with Kobe.

Lian Feng is well aware of that truth, he doesn't show off on the court, even if he has the opportunity to attack, he will be very sensible to feed his teammates.

Therefore, even if Lian Feng didn't score a few points, he left a deep impression on the audience with a few wonderful assists.

There is no doubt that the protagonist of this All-Star game is Kobe.

Whether it is 24 vs. 23, or the grievances between Kobe and O'Neal, they are full of gimmicks.

In the end, the All-Star Game came to a successful conclusion with the West defeating the East.

Lian Feng played 21 minutes in his first All-Star Tour, scoring 6 points and 6 assists.

Although he didn't look very conspicuous, and even disappointed Huaguo fans, his humble attitude won the approval of those star players.

Lian Feng is not in a hurry, he knows that one day he will also be the center of the All-Star Game!
Half of this season has passed.The All-Star debut is just a sign of popularity, Lian Feng knows that to be recognized by others, the most important thing is the results!

Playoffs!
Lian Feng has made clear the direction of his efforts in the future.

He slowly raised his head, peeping into the future of the 76ers this season.

Next is another big plot, which is the ending plot of the second episode. The second episode will also end in a climax, which is very important. Chengzi needs to think about it carefully, and needs the votes of brothers to encourage it! ! ! ⊙^⊙
