Chapter 1081 Today is the opponent (Part [-])
Paul George not only received an invitation to the slam dunk contest two weeks ago, but also received a notice to be selected for the Rookie Challenge of the All-Star Game.

Of course, you can choose to give up the first invitation, but not the second one.

After all, being selected for the Rookie Challenge is the league's recognition of a rookie player's performance.

And George played 55 games on behalf of the Clippers before the All-Star this season. He averaged 29.6 minutes per game, scored 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals, and made 45.5% of his two-pointers. The three-point shooting percentage is not satisfactory, only 29.8%, and the free throw percentage is 70.2%.

The shooting rate is still a pass, and George's defensive efficiency still maintains the level of college, which is very important, and it is also the skill that George relies on most for survival.

Coupled with being the host, it is reasonable for George to be selected for the first-year lineup.

In addition to participating in the slam dunk contest, George's All-Star Weekend was really busy.

And the Clippers not only have George to participate in the Rookie Challenge, as last season's No. [-] pick, the second-year Harden was selected into the second-year team without any suspense.

Harden and George, teammates of the Clippers, are about to become opponents in the Rookie Challenge.

While speaking, the Rookie Challenge is about to start.

Here Harden and George are still dribbling and chatting on the sidelines.

"I'm going to lock you up tonight~!!"

George said in a half-joking tone.

"Haha~, it's just a dream~ Brother~, I'm going for the rookie contest MVP, you should cooperate with me~"

Harden also replied with a smile.

"Cooperate with you~?!, don't tease me~, that's impossible~, I also went for the MVP, haha~!!"

George also responded with a smile.

The tone of the two people sounded like swords were on the verge of breaking out, and they were more gunpowder-like, but the state of the two people was quite harmonious.

After all, this game is mainly for entertainment after all, just make sure not to get injured.

"Scenes like this are really rare~ Although the two people are not aligned, but when I think of the opportunity to directly align, I am still looking forward to it, haha~!!"

Perhaps wanting to have a more comfortable and relaxed watching environment, Lan Shengli chose to watch the game on the sofa at home.

Looking at the live broadcast of the TV camera, Lan Shengli sighed.

Soon, the Rookie Challenge will begin.

Harden is starting the game, and George is on the bench, so it will take a while for the two to complete the same competition.

However, the two are not in the same position after all, so even if they compete in the same field, it is difficult to have the opportunity to truly achieve a match.

"The quality of selection in the past two years has been very high, and the success rate of young players seems to be good, so if Harden can perform outstandingly among this wave of players, he will definitely be a leader in the league in the future~! !"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

After the start of the game here, the defensive intensity of both sides was not very high, and a large number of alley-oop slam dunks and three-pointers were shot.

Although he is a shooting guard, Harden didn't make many shots and has been making wedding dresses for his teammates.

"Duang~!!!"

Encountered an absolute opportunity to perform in open space, Harden will never let it go, and the one-arm heavy dunk with his left hand is also full of momentum.

George, who was sitting on the bench, also smiled when he saw this, but George should be more eager to come to the court as soon as possible.

About 6 minutes later, the two sides began to make personnel adjustments.

George was replaced on the court as he wished, and at the same time, Harden was not replaced. All the factors were already in place, and it was just waiting for the matchup between Harden and George.

"Yeah!!!"

Although most of the seats in the auditorium were children, there were bursts of cheers when George came to the field.

After all, George is "the host of hosts".

"Come on, come~!!, haha~!!, will the matchup be as expected~?!, I am really looking forward to it more and more, haha~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli excitedly sat up on the sofa, stared at the TV, and talked.

Here the second-year team is attacking, and Harden is holding the ball.

George was defending the opponent's third position, so he followed the rules and did not directly dislocate offense and defense.

Here Harden passed the ball to his teammates, and it was also his own server-DeRozan.

George is very serious about defending DeRozan.

After all, the first-year team is behind now, and what George is best at is defense.

DeRozan didn't force the attack here either. After breaking through two steps, he passed back to Harden.

Harden received the ball close to the top arc. Seeing that the defending Spurs shooter Gary Neal was far away from him, he directly shot a three-pointer.

"Clang clang~!!"

The sudden shot did not achieve unexpected results, and the ball hit the iron.

And bounce far.

George actively recovered to the basket and scrambled for the rebound.

Wall on the side immediately reached out for the ball when he saw this, but George ignored it and dribbled the ball directly towards the frontcourt.

George, who touched the ball for the first time, looked extremely excited, and he was ready to "go straight to the dragon".

"Crack~!!!"

However, George, who was dribbling, fell on his teammate Harden in the first pass.

Perhaps it was because he knew too much about George's dribbling habits and movements. Seeing George dribbling forward, Harden didn't retreat directly. Instead, he stood still, lowered his center of gravity, and looked at George dribbling.

When George came to Harden and was about to change direction in front of him to pass Harden, Harden made a prediction in advance and directly threw out his long arms, causing George to lose control of the ball.

Because the huge inertia brought by George's impact made him unable to stop directly to pick up the ball again, Harden took a step forward and directly controlled the ball.

Harden completed a one-on-one direct steal.

Forcibly stealing his teammates in this way, Harden really "doesn't give face".

But it also shows that Harden's defensive prediction of George was very successful.

"Haha~!!!, George educated Harden~!"

Lan Shengli watched and laughed.

"Perhaps this is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, and you will never lose a hundred battles~!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

The camera here captured Harden dribbling with a smug smile on his face, and George, who slowed down to near the center line before stopping the car, turned his head and looked at Harden, showing a helpless and awkward smile.

It's really embarrassing to be intercepted one-on-one in this situation.

Harden is dribbling the ball, because his teammates are also back on defense, so Harden is going to attack the frame by himself.

In front of Harden, only Cousins, the inside behemoth, is left.

Harden faced Cousins ​​and made a European step~

"Pa~!!!, Da~!!!"
