Chapter 567: Rookie Challenge (3)

"Kenny, Kraft played nonchalantly tonight, and I think the first year opportunity has come. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," James said confidently from the TNT commentary booth.

"Oh, do you think so? However, the Celestial Man is doing well, he's already grabbed 13 rebounds, why do you say that the first grade has a chance?" Kenny Smith pretended to be puzzled.

"Kraft Nguyen grabbed a lot of rebounds, yes, but he didn't have a strong presence on the offensive end and defensively," James said.

His rebounding awareness may be unprecedented in basketball history, but that doesn't guarantee second-year offensive efficiency.

See, the sophomores have both Kraft Nguyen and Kevin Durant off the court, and they'll soon pay the price for the substitution. ”

TNT made their prediction, while the court station focused on praising Erniu's performance in the past period.

Yang Jian said: "Although Ruan Erniu didn't score much, he grabbed the most 13 rebounds in the game, and there were 5 points and 5 assists, and he had a chance to win the MVP of the rookie game again tonight!"

Zhang Li also said: "Although Durant has scored 13 points, if Erniu can score more points in later games, he is still very likely to win the MVP." Of course, the premise is that the second grade wins the competition. ”

After Zhang Li said this, the first-year team replaced Fernandez, who performed well at the three-point line, and replaced it with OJ Mayo, plus Screws and Round Face Deng, and a total of three guards appeared on the court at the same time.

After the opening trial, the first-year team not only did not reduce the speed and use the height of Lopez and Gasol to play positional battles, but instead accelerated the offensive tempo and wanted to challenge the second-year team in the most extreme way.

D. Wade, the first-year assistant coach who had blue commercial tape on his face, also stood up and waved his hand to direct the game.

The tactic of changing guards to strengthen the offense is not like the handiwork of Lakers assistant coach Rambis, but has a strong heat ball style.

However, if it is done more extremely, it can also be replaced by Lopez with Wei Shao, let Beasley top to the fifth position, and simply impact the second-year team with the extreme ball.

Even if they didn't, with their super offensive firepower, in just a few minutes, the first-year team gradually caught up with or even overtook the score.

At this time, Larry Drew should be replaced by Erniu and Durant, but Coach Drew doesn't know if he is willing to be a mud tire bodhisattva, or assistant coach Howard's aura is too strong, anyway, no one thinks of changing the two strongest firepower points of the sophomore team back to the court.

At one point, the scores between the two teams were stretched to more than eight points, but fortunately, the official timeout every 5 minutes came again, and this time the interests of the advertisers inadvertently saved the second-year old birds for once.

Ruan Erniu and Durant glanced at each other, and both saw the desire to win in each other's eyes.

To be honest, the premise of not working hard is to win the game, if you are crushed by a first-year rookie, whether it is Ruan Erniu, a contemporary supergiant, or Durant, a popular spicy chicken, will be disgraced.

This is the pride and paranoia of the strong, and in one point, Ruan Erniu is clearly better than the current LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant is closer.

Only the truly strong will be extremely disgusted with defeat and regard victory as the best physical elixir.

One moment he was shouting on the sidelines, and the next moment he was going to pour a bowl of chicken soup for the second-year rookies.

But Ruan Erniu had already stood up and walked among the players, he was about to seize power!

"Superman, I'm sorry, give me a little time!" Ruan Erniu bluntly interrupted Spark's chicken soup class, and then said to his teammates, "I can't be led by the nose by the rookies anymore, I know everyone is here to enjoy the game, but losing is the most painful ending, I don't think anyone here wants to be last year's sophomore team, right?"

It's the same chicken soup, the spark is more about motivation, but for the class of '07, who defeated the sophomore team, their desire to win this game is far from enough.

Ruan Erniu's rhetoric naturally also has chicken soup ingredients, but he is more to stimulate the fear of failure in the second grade.

No one in this world likes to lose, especially the veteran birds who have played in the league for more than a year, and they don't want to be defeated by first-year rookies.

Ruan Erniu and Durant returned to the court, but the spark that was seized of power still did not change his true colors, continuing to walk around in front of the players' bench, loudly commanding the sophomores on the court.

To say that it sounds good is called heartlessness, and to say that it is not good, this is purely self-inflicted, not only shameful!

Well, the minds of the people of the United States are indeed not so complicated, anyway, the spark is just to put on a show, and Ruan Erniu on the field has no time to care about this, he just wants to chase the score back first.

The sophomore team must step up defensively!

They can't afford to extend the score any further, and once the opponent leads beyond double digits, it will become an easy game for the rookie challenge to give up on if the defense is not strong enough.

The offensive end of the first grade.

Westbrook, who was substituted on the court, held the ball on the outside, and with an acceleration he went straight past Durant, who was defending him, and although the two Thunder players were playing the No. 2 position, the misalignment was too obvious.

"Whoosh!"

Wei Shao chose to hit the basket directly, of course Ruan Erniu would not let his friend succeed!

"Bang!"

A sturdy hat, Erniu put aside brotherhood and classmate friendship at the moment.

As soon as Luis Scola got the ball, he immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt, and Jeff Green and Durant were already on the verge of getting down.

Green got the basketball from beyond the three-point line, and he was in front of Derrick Rose, who was in place in time, but the Windy City Roses alone was not enough to stop the Thunder's defensive counterattack.

Jeff Green sent a second pass to the crotch, and the ball went to the hands of Durant, who was straight to the basket and unguarded, and Durant put his arms into the basket and scored 2 points to end the offensive and defensive transition.

Westbrook, who was still angry with Ruan Erniu in the backcourt, complained: "Hey, Kraft, this is a rookie game, do you need to defend so hard?"

Ruan Erniu smiled: "Two days ago, Mr. Stern also made it clear that he hopes that the first- and second-year rookies will play well, and don't turn the rookie challenge into an exhibition game, I am just following Mr. President's instructions!"

Westbrook glared at Erniu and stepped aside to ignore the hypocrite.

What are you kidding, starting with James's group, Stern began to emphasize that rookie players should play the rookie game seriously, and don't bring the show and show things to the rookie challenge.

However, several years have passed, and the rookies should play handsome or how to be handsome, whether they should defend or not, like Ruan Erniu did last year, suddenly increased the defensive intensity from the beginning, and regarded the Rookie Challenge as a regular season game, in fact, it has gone against the trend of this event.

However, this year, Ruan Erniu repeated his old tricks, once again enhancing his defensive intensity, and no one could say anything.

Because Ruan Erniu's status is there, as the leader of the team with the league's No. 1 regular season record, he has the qualifications to do what he thinks is right in the rookie game.

Just like the 03 Golden Three Masters, who completely defined the rookie game as an exhibition game, stars of Ruan Erniu and Durant are also qualified to define the game they participate in as the mode they want.

At 61:58, the first half ended.

The Year 1 team ended up with a three-point lead over the Year 2 team by virtue of their starting advantage, but everyone in the room knew that the second half was bound to get tougher.

Durant, who scored 24 points in the half, was the highest scorer on either team, and he is likely to break the record for the most points scored in a rookie game set by Stadamire.

And Ruan Erniu also cut a terrifying 11 points, 17 boards, 8 assists in the half of the quasi-triple-double record, last year he scored 34 points, 22 boards, 22 assists rookie super triple-double record, it seems that today after experiencing the relaxation at the beginning of the game, Ruan Erniu gradually became serious and began to move towards a new magical record!
