Healing Basketball

Chapter 177 177. The emperor's best guard partner is you!

At 2004:2 p.m. on February 12, 7, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the scene was heated up after the songs, dances, and a unique acrobatic performance of the guests.

Everything on the court was removed, and the fans cheered enthusiastically. They knew that this meant that the best young talents in the NBA were about to debut!
Compared with last year's Rookie Challenge, this year's Rookie Challenge has attracted extraordinarily high attention!

Now the 01st session is out.

But last season, the 01st class was tied with the 00th class.

Last year's Rookie Challenge and the previous year's Rookie Challenge, the attention and ratings were sluggish.

But this season is different!
The level of the 02 class is very good, and the 03 class even produced three top-level rookies.

Watching the Rookie Challenge, what are you watching?
Be the next superstar!
As a fan, there is one very happy thing-ten years later, you can tell the fans who came later what a certain player was like when he first entered the NBA.

What's the point?It doesn't make much sense, but man's happiness is always so simple.

At the time, the 00 and 01 classes saw nothing to look at except for Gasol supporting the facade, so Arenas yelled every day that the world was unfair to him, and he wanted to rise, which attracted a little attention.

The one with the most news is actually the parallel import champion Kwame Brown.

The fans look at the fart.

But when there is top talent, it's different!

Amidst the host's introduction and the cheers of the fans, first and second graders appeared one after another.

Yao Ming, James, Stoudemire, Liu Xiu, Anthony, Nene, Boozer, Hinrich... 9 players from each team, one player from each team, appearing alternately.

Different from the All-Star Game, in the Rookie Challenge, the most popular new stars will be played first.

The live broadcast of the Chaoting TV sports channel started when the players appeared on the field.

For the previous part of the performance, there is a fee...

It's really not that David Stern doesn't want to give the imperial TV station free, but that the copyright fees of those singers have to be calculated separately.

It's fine if the alliance doesn't collect money, and it's impossible to pay back the money.

Today's commentator for this rookie game is the Shuangping combination, as well as rookie commentators Su Qun, Yang Jian and others.

Yao Ming was the first to appear on the stage, and Sun Zhengping began to recite the pattern again.

"Dayao is the strongest player in this game. He is expected to be selected for the best team this season. What does the best team mean? It is one of the 15 best players in the league. Friends from the press will be among the stars in the league. choose..."

No one can stop a football commentator from showing his professional ability in the commentary of basketball games.

Sun Zhengping is not young, and his memory is quite good.

Su Qun, Yang Jian and others sympathized with Director Zhang.

Although Director Zhang's commentary style is not liked by most people, the Shuangping combination formed with Sun Zhengping is jokingly called the "Mute Button Destruction Combination" in China.

After touting Yao Ming, in the live broadcast, James and Stoudemire had already entered the arena. If Director Zhang hadn't interrupted and started to introduce Liu Xiu, Sun Zhengping's "what is the best lineup detailed science popularization", I want to skip Liu Xiu's appearance...

……

On the court, the players who played were very excited.

This is the first time they have entered a game that is watched by fans around the world since the draft.

Everyone has played the national live broadcast to some extent, but the national live broadcast is also mainly based on the fans of the two teams that are broadcast live. Unless it is a top popular team, the number of viewers in North America is definitely not as good as the Rookie Challenge.

The most important thing is that the number of live TV stations for this rookie challenge has set a record high again!
A total of 152 TV stations in various countries and regions will broadcast the game live!
Liu Xiu enjoys being in the spotlight very much, and there is one thing - judging from the order of appearances, he is only the second most popular player in the rookie team league.

The rookie team league highly praised the player-James.

The second-year team league highly praised the player-Yao Ming.

Liu Xiu didn't care about this arrangement, he chose to enjoy the atmosphere of the scene.

A small number of fans at the scene had a clear tendency to boo a certain player, but most of them were "passerby fans", former fans of a certain star, or just came to join in the fun.

This is very friendly to Liu Xiu.

The feeling of being booed wherever he goes... is also very good, his popularity is definitely the highest among rookies this year.

But playing in other teams' arenas without getting booed feels good.

Many active superstars and retired celebrities came to the scene.

Everyone is very curious about the 03 rookie competition.

All-star weekend in Los Angeles, celebrity celebrity is indispensable.

Liu Xiu took a look at the sidelines... I see, last night's sleeping partner is sitting in the first row of the sidelines!
Hey, the ticket is free.

Seeing Liu Xiu looking over, Ivanka just waved her hand, no different from other public figures sitting in the front row...

It is the sleeping companion when you are free.

The two received each other's signal and were quite satisfied.

Neither party sees the other as an ideal type.

……

The entrance ceremony ended and the cheerleading performance started.

After the players of the two teams greeted each other, they returned to their benches and gathered around for the final discussion before the game.

The head coach of the rookie game is just a substitution tool. In the previous preparation training, for the rookie team, Chip Engelland was helping the players evaluate their shooting hands and gave some suggestions. There was some time left before the warm-up. The players discuss among themselves how to play the game.

This would be impossible in the rookie matchups of the last century. At that time, it was the rookie matchup of the same class, the kind where the bayonet hit the red. There was no point difference of more than 10 points in any game, and there was only one time when the difference was more than 5 points.

But after the lockout, in order to take care of the fact that there was no rookie competition for the 98th rookie, it became a rookie challenge for the first and second grades. Hit to overtime.

But in the rookie game in 01, it was pulled down to the extreme, and the rookie team didn't have the strength to resist at all.

So in the rookie game in 02, it became a random dunk duel between the first and second graders, and it was the same last year... Then the rookie game was basically abolished.

But this time is different, Liu Xiu and his temporary teammates are actively thinking of a way!
Who doesn't want to win?

Especially for a first grader to do something like a second grader, which rookie wouldn't want to do it?
It's just that there is no early bird who takes the lead in changing.

Coincidentally, in this year's rookie team, Liu Xiu and Anthony, these two brothers are both early bird types!
Liu Xiu actively thought of a way, and during the discussion before the game, he brought out the team's tactical thinking ability developed in the team.

The preparation time before the game is almost over, and the discussion is almost over.

Anyway, when they were trying to find a way, everyone felt that the tactics and strategies they discussed were awesome.

Now, I just want to play.

Liu Xiu came to the technology table to rub chalk, and finally was about to start again.

The day after tomorrow is also a debut!

Sure enough, the All-Star weekend is his stage.

While chattering, a system notification came.

"Congratulations to the host for being on the stage of the All-Star Rookie Competition, reward: 1000 healing value, the second stage of the series of missions Rookie King is triggered.

Goal: The host needs to help the rookie team win.

Reward: 2000 healing value.

Advanced goal: The host needs to win the rookie game MVP.

Advanced reward: random physical attribute +1. "

Attribute +1, Liu Xiu knows that the hidden condition is that some physical attributes need to be improved through training.

There is no description of 'advanced', that is, if you draw 90 and above, you need to accumulate 3 in 1 to use it.

but!There is a task to come on the line!

Moreover, it is still early to think about rewards. First of all, the game must be won first.

Select the object to be copied first.

'Teammates... help your cheeks! '

"Dwyane Wade, 22 years old, 193 cm (?), 95 kg, ability rating 80... 65% match...

Good at ability conversion talent: the strongest first step.

Bonus effect: When the host breaks through with the ball, the speed of the first step of the accelerated start is +5, and it starts at the fastest speed after the bonus. "

Awesome!
The last time Liu Xiu played against Wade, she was really curious and chose to copy Odom...

The height and weight are the same, everyone is a 210-foot-[-], [-]-pound player, and the cheeks should be copied!
The opponent naturally copied Boozer.

Improves the stability of low-post turnaround jumpers, and +3 shooting ability after turnaround jumpshots.

……

At 7:58 in the evening, the two teams made their debut!

First grade: James, Liu Xiu, Anthony, Haslem, Bosh.

Sophomore: Marko Jalic, Ginobili, Prince, Stoudemire, Yao Ming.

When Sun Zhengping saw the two teams starting to play, he said: "The tallest player on the field is a Chinese player, and the shortest player is also a Chinese player..."

Seeing the bewildered faces of the other commentators and colleagues, he almost asked directly 'what are you talking about', Zhang Weiping still had to wipe his partner's butt, and had to forcefully answer: "That's right, that's right, look, the two teams Point guards are taller than shooting guards..."

The fans in front of the TV have endured it for a long time, and they can't bear it any longer. The 'mute button destroys the combination' shows its power again...

At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game and tossed the ball into the air.

Bosh leaped high and slapped the ball back before Yao Ming.

James receives the ball and the game starts with the rookies going first.

James advanced to the frontcourt, Bosh and Haslem partnered, both of them had mid-range shots, and Yao Ming went to guard the higher Bosh as the rookie team thought.

Facing Jalic's defense, James made a strong breakthrough!

No one intercepted at the middle distance, Yao Ming closed it to the basket, but failed to make up the defense, James rushed into the basket and jumped high with one hand to score two points.

At the beginning of the game, Yao Ming didn't want to play.

Same as last year!

Discussing with my teammates how to deal with James of the second-year team, I also feel very surprised. What's the point of such a game?
After switching from offense to defense, James, who retreated back to defense, heard the clapping, and turned his head to look—Liu Xiu pressed his hands down.

The teammates understood that the opponent played so loosely, of course they had to take advantage of it!
Jalic advances beyond the three-point line... James presses the defense!
More than half of his rookie season has been played, and James' comprehensive defense has barely reached a good level. Of course, he is not very good, but he has one great point on the defensive end-excellent pressing and defensive ability!
The physical condition is too good.

Thanks to Jalic's rich experience in the game, he played professional games for 6 years before entering the NBA. The former Yugoslavian player, he passed the ball to Ginobili.

But Manu Ginobili was also unprepared. His teammates who played in the rookie game last year said that it was enough to play casually...Liu Xiu relied on flexibility and strength to complete the round and counterattack!

James' strength interprets what is fast and fierce, and Jalic chases after him, and he can directly see that the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

Liu Xiu hit the ball at just the right time, James received the ball and took off with one step, flying and dunking to score two points!

The rookies started with a 4-0 lead over the sophomores.

Offensive and defensive transition, sophomores attack.

At that moment, the second-year team hadn't fully figured out what happened.

But when Yaliqi advanced to the three-point line again, James and Liu Xiu once again pressed the backcourt of the second-year team to defend, and Bosh put forward a forward posture to Yao Ming, the second-year team learned one thing-the opponent on the opposite side The rookie wants to step on them to the top!

In fact, this guess is not entirely correct.

The idea of ​​the rookie team is - if the second-year team plays casually, they will wake them up and have a real game;
But even if the guess is not completely correct, some players in the second grade are already angry.

Everyone plays with you and I play with everyone in a friendly manner, and it doesn't matter if they lose in the second grade.

But rookies don't talk about Wude!

Jalic protected the ball, and Stoudemire leaned sideways on Haslem for the ball.

As a tall point guard of 201 cm, Jalic has good vision and accurate passing.

Stoudemire receives the ball, turns around, and singles Haslem face-to-face.

Haslem's defense in the young insider is okay, and the Heat picked up a big bargain, but Stoudemire easily left Haslem aside by relying on his face-to-face footsteps and explosive acceleration.

Stoudemire broke through to the basket at close range, jumped up quickly in the face of Bosh who made up for it, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"Break the mountain and surpass the world! Stoudemire's dunk is really fast and fierce, it can be called the reincarnation of the bully!"

On the court platform, Su Qun said such a sentence, and the others echoed, and the nickname of Little Overlord came into place.

Bosh really can't do anything about this ball. In terms of bullet speed, the other 17 players tonight probably only have Wade's bullet speed compared to Stoudemire.

When Yao Ming retreated back, he commanded his teammates to take their positions. Yao Ming has the strength, and he looks domineering in that size.
Stoudemire's face-to-frame singles broke through and dunked this time. He played very difficult and level, and infected his teammates.

After realizing it, the rest of the second-year team also knew that the rookies wanted to fuck them.

It is impossible for them to back down!
Just do it, are they afraid of a group of rookies?
This time James advanced to the frontcourt and saw the change in the opponent's attitude towards the game that was visible to the naked eye.

The players in tonight's game are all young players that their respective teams value most. If they really want to play well, their abilities and brains must be online.

Jalic put up defense against James, James glanced at the opponent's position, gestured, and took tactics!
Liu Xiu immediately ran to the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone.

Using Bosh's cover, Liu Xiu bypassed the bottom line, came out from the left side of the three-second zone, and used cover on the left side of the three-second zone...

At this time, James rushed Jalic to the free throw line and the reasonable collision zone. As James expected, he was blocked by Prince, and the pass line from Anthony's flank was also blocked.

Anthony passed the ball back, and Liu Xiu used the screen to catch the ball to the left of the free throw line!
Stoudemire switched defenses, Liu Xiu caught the ball and feinted a shot, and Stoudemire flew!
The little prince made up the defense quickly, and the fact that Stoudemire was caught in an instant by the opponent was expected by the little prince...but Liu Xiu's acceleration was not what he expected!
After flying Stoudemire, Liu Xiuhuang made a breakthrough, passed Prince, and went straight to the basket.

With no one under the basket, Liu Xiu took off with all his strength, dunked with one hand and scored two points, which caused bursts of cheers!

Yao Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Xiu to beat Stoudemire and Prince in one-on-two.

The progress is too fast!
James excitedly gave Liu Xiu a high five.

Liu Xiu perfectly appeared at the meeting point he wanted.

6 to 2, the rookie team continued to maintain a 4-point lead.

Jalic catches the ball and advances to the front court, and quickly passes the ball to Ginobili.

The second grade team is also getting serious!

Ginobili protected the ball better than Jalic, but he didn't play singles, waiting for his teammates to pull away, waiting for the man to settle.

Bosh resisted vigorously, but it was useless. In a real fight, he couldn't go around and was pressed tightly behind him.

Chinese fans, look how tenacious and unyielding I am!

Bosh howled in his heart. Yao Ming, who received the ball, knocked back directly under the basket twice. He also actively reached out to cut the ball, but he missed it.

Yao Ming turned around and smashed the ball into the basket!

A group of domineering!
Offensive and defensive conversion.

James advanced to the frontcourt.

He found that they overestimated the ability of Bosh and Haslem to contain Yao Ming.

Yao Ming has expanded the three-second zone, but the distance away is not far away. With the mid-range Prince blocking the breakthrough player, he can return to the basket in time.

Stoudemire's defense is poor, but Haslem's offense is poor. The point is that he doesn't have any passing ability. Except for the second offense and eating cakes, he hardly touches the ball on the offensive end.

But it doesn't matter, Bosh can take Yao Ming out of the three-second zone for a while, and Bosh's offensive restraint is enough.

James continued to signal Liu Xiu to adopt tactics, and the style of sudden points + auxiliary control started!
Stoudemire did a surprisingly good job defending James' pass between James and Haslem's pass-receiving lanes.

But Liu Xiu sensed Stoudemire's movement. After wrapping around the bottom line, he circled around Yao Ming and ran out along the right sideline of the three-second zone!
James was blocked, Yao Ming also retracted, and his vision was covered... But Liu Xiu appeared in a position where James could pass!
Liu Xiu received the ball one step inside the top arc. Although Ginobili failed to stop Liu Xiu from responding, he caught up with him immediately and stood in front of Liu Xiu.

After Liu Xiu slowed down for a while, he picked up speed and made a breakthrough!

'Talent: The strongest first step' triggers, speed +5, starts at the fastest speed of 93!

Ginobili moved a beat slower and was caught by Liu Xiu.

There is nothing Ginobili can do about it, the power gap is too big.

Liu Xiu squeezed Ginobili to the inside and scored the ball...

James received the ball, stepped forward... a few steps, and made a throw!
James is so excited!
This is the most suitable defender partner for him!
