NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 38 The Best Rookie Competition!

Oracle Arena.

Players from both sides are warming up on the field at this time.

Qin Dong was taking turns dunking in front of Stephen Curry with a group of teammates.

"Qin, you are too narrow-minded. I just took away your best player a few days ago, and now you are showing off dunking in front of me like this."

"Hmph, if you are capable, go to this year's dunk contest."

Stephen Curry pouted.

In Curry's mind, although Qin Dong's dunk was better than his own, it was not much better.

You, the second-to-last in a class, actually has the face to laugh at the last-to-last.

"Patrick!" Qin Dong looked at Beverly, pointed to the sky above the basket, and said.

"Yeah." Beverly nodded.

Beverly threw a lob pass to Qin Dong who was running. Qin Dong jumped up, caught the basketball with his huge palm, and threw it vigorously towards the basket.

"Boom!"
The violent sound of the basket caused cheers from some home fans.

"Wow, Qin, your slam dunk has improved so fast, it's a bit brutal." Team veteran Corey Maggette praised.

"Yeah, Qin, I think your bullet speed seems to be much faster." Second-year rookie Anthony Randolph said in surprise.

"Haha, is there?" Qin Dong smiled proudly.

To this
Not far away, Stephen Curry, who was silently dribbling the ball under his crotch, but his heart was soaring above the basket, could not help but swear in his heart: "Qin, this guy is obviously very wise, but he likes to listen to other people's flattering words, even if he knows it is false."

"However, then again, this dude Qin seems to be doing a lot more dunking recently."

"Could this really have something to do with him getting up at four in the morning to practice bouncing?"

Qin Dong's wild growth rate once again stimulated Stephen Curry, which made him want to soak in the training hall 24 hours a day.

at the same time.

In the Tianchao Sports live broadcast room.

"Tonight's game, whether it is in the United States or in China, is a battle of focus."

"The best rookies of the past two weeks in the West will face off tonight."

Director Zhang, the commentator of the game, said.

"Yes."

"A head-to-head game like this can even affect a Rookie of the Year campaign."

Another commentator Su Guidance said.

"Director Su, the fans let us predict tonight's game. Can Xiaoqin get 5x5 tonight and become the first player after AK47 Kirilenko."

"Our domestic fans said that Qin Dong scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 blocks and 7 assists in the last game against the Indian Pacers, which is simply too tortured for obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"An extra rebound for a double-double."

"Three more assists, and that's a triple-double."

Director Zhang smiled.

"The difficulty of 5x5 is very high, and the difficulty coefficient of triple-double is not in the same dimension."

"In addition to requiring players to have all-round skills, there is also an element of luck."

Director Su did not give a positive answer, but told the fans in front of the TV that the difficulty of 5x5 is much higher than a triple-double, and slightly worse than a quadruple-double.

The starting lineup of both parties:

[Kings (away)]: Tyreke Evans, Kevin Martin, Andres Nocioni, Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes.

[Warriors (home)]: Stephen Curry, Monta Ellis, Qin Dong, Anthony Randolph and Andris Biedrins.

It was Jason Thompson and Andris Biedrins who made the jump ball.

Jason Thompson, who has better bounce speed, took the lead to transfer the ball to Tyreke Evans.

After Evans got the ball.

"Stephen, be careful not to let him catch the ball." Qin Dong stepped forward to defend against Tyreke Evans, while making Stephen Curry pay attention to the passing route between Evans and Kevin Martin.

In defensive matchups.

Qin Dong vs Tyreke Evans.

Stephen Curry vs Kevin Martin.

"Hmph." Tyreke Evans snorted coldly in his heart, not surprised that Qin Dong was marking him.

After Tyreke Evans held the ball for halftime, Qin Dong didn't post it, but kept waiting for him one step inside the three-point line.

As a smaller James, Tyreke Evans not only weakens his advantages, but also magnifies his shortcomings.

In the first three seasons of his career, Evans made less than 3% of his three-pointers. He didn't have an outside shot. Qin Dong put a certain distance directly, relying on his excellent defensive sense and anticipation to block his breakthrough route.

Evans, who was emptied, frowned.

"Qin" Stephen Curry couldn't help but remind him at this time.

"fine."

"He didn't have a basket."

Qin Dong grinned.

Tyreke Evans was furious when he heard this, and he directly made a three-pointer from the outside.

"when!"

Three-point strike.

The Warriors protected the rebound inside, and Curry launched a counterattack.

Monta Ellis and Qin Dong rushed out like two arrows.

Both are very fast off the ball.
Qin Dong's off-ball speed was as high as [90], and Tyreke Evans, who ran first, could barely keep up.

Qin Dong found himself being followed by Evans, so instead of running to the basket, he quickly went to the left corner outside the three-point line.

Monta Ellis, who received a pass from Curry, went straight to the basket, faced Andres Nocioni's pursuit, and completed a one-handed dunk.

Instantly ignited the Warriors' home court.

this moment!
Qin Dong in the bottom left corner and Stephen Curry at the top of the arc looked at each other and smiled.

"Did they provoke me on purpose?" Tyreke Evans thought carefully about the real purpose of the two singing together just now.

Qin Dong's short-selling strategy is very effective.

In the first two offensive rounds of the Kings, Evans threw two from the top of the arc, all of which were ironed.

The Kings attack again.

Qin Dong did the same, and continued to let Evans shoot. At the same time, Terry Evans, who was still smiling and hesitant, said, "Dude, don't you dare to shoot?"

"Hmph." Tyreke Evans snorted coldly. He wasn't good at shooting in the first place, and in addition to his outrageous iron tonight, Evans, who was more mature than players of the same age, naturally wouldn't fall for it.

Evans let the white insider Spencer Hawes step forward to pick and roll, this is an inside big man with projection.

The 216cm, 111kg Hawes pick-and-roll quality is not bad.

However, Qin Dong didn't go forward to squeeze the pick-and-roll, but went around the pick-and-roll from behind.

After all, Evans didn't shoot.

Evans used the pick-and-roll to activate, and as soon as he took a step towards the basket, Qin Dong followed directly.

Evans accelerated sharply, intending to get rid of Qin Dong.

Qin Dong, whose lateral movement speed can catch smaller players, can completely keep up with Evans' footsteps.

"Followed?"

"This guy is so fast." Evans was stunned. After realizing that he couldn't throw Qin Dong away with his speed, he relied on the 100kg tonnage and the tyrannical strength of the outside players to tear Qin Dong's defense. At the same time, he did not forget to observe whether the Warriors came to help defend.

"no! no!"

"Don't come over, I can hold him down alone."

Qin Dong noticed Anthony Randolph who wanted to come to help, and quickly persuaded him to go back.

Evans' body like a calf, coupled with the advantage that the attacker can take the initiative to exert strength, after a few steps against Qin Dong, he was almost exhausted, and he was about to be forced to stop by Qin Dong.

Tyreke Evans slammed the ball together, and his body hit Qin Dong again.

Actively seek out physical contact.

Qin Dong, who didn't take advantage of tonnage and core strength, staggered a little when he was pushed in the air.

But a pair of long arms slapped the basketball in Evans' hand at the moment when he lost his center of gravity.

Evans, with excellent core strength, escaped the block for a short time in the air, but at the end of the layup, because of a lack of energy after a fierce confrontation, he made a layup.

Qin Dong successfully defended Evans from the front!

Once again, the Warriors home fans cheered.

"Wow"

"Qin, you're on guard."

"It seems that Tyreke is not as strong as Sacramento blows."

"Yes."

"He's no match for LBJ at all."

One second, the home fans were still cheering for Qin Dong's successful defense, but in the next second, Jason Thompson, the fourth position of the Kings, descended from heaven and made up for the basket that Evans missed.

"Oh, what a pity."

"The two big insiders of the Warriors are too thin, and they lost the defensive rebound."

"Yeah, if the Warriors want to make a difference in the Wild West, they must strengthen the inside."

The two commentators of Tianchao Sports and the two coaches Zhang Su couldn't help feeling sorry for the loss of this defensive rebound.

　Asking for support, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a recommendation ticket, good people are full of all kinds of requests.
