Chapter 568: Rookie Challenge (4)
"First graders have to be careful!" James lifted the headset, turning from laughing and scolding to serious, "The second grade is ready to fight, they started the game with a relaxed posture of fighting separately, but just after 15 minutes of the first half, they have formed a tactical system, KD has become the finisher on the offensive end, and Kraft has become the hub of both offensive and defensive ends. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Although he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, James still has his own inclination towards the game, subjectively speaking, he still hopes that the rookies in the first grade can create some trouble for the second grade, especially the Celestial Empire, objectively speaking, James still believes that the second grade will come from behind and complete the counterattack.
A year's difference in NBA experience, as well as a more rational distribution of the ball, are huge advantages for sophomores.
Thinking about how high-spirited the 03 golden generation was back then, they finally lost to the players of the class of 02 as a first-year in the rookie challenge.
From this point of view alone, James can be described as all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Kraft, because the Celestial Empire was already a well-deserved leader on the field when he was in his first year, he led the entire class of 07 by himself, and made everyone bow down.
Almost everyone talked about James' nickname "KING" because James almost single-handedly led the Cavaliers to the Finals.
But after a year, a Celestial Dynasty man named Ruan Erniu directly succeeded in seizing power over the Hawks, and led the Eagles, who had not entered the playoffs for many years, to break strong opponents and finally win the O'Brien Cup.
Who is the king?
Who is the real King?
James seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, his pride and ambition are always anxious in his heart.
On TNT's commentary seat, James and Kenny Smith continued to discuss the direction of the game in the second half, while the imperial court station cut the TV signal back to the studio in the imperial capital, and the audience of the Celestial Empire will watch a boring advertisement after watching Yu Jia and Su Junyang's nonsense, and then they can watch the live broadcast of the game in the second half.
At this point, the first- and second-year All-Star rookies have returned to the locker room.
On the first-year side, head coach Kurt Rambis, of course, knew that the second-year had found a way to win, but he wasn't prepared to learn from the second-year.
Because even if they force these pride of heaven to play in a more team way, they will never play more reasonably on the offensive and defensive ends than in the second grade.
Since this is the case, then simply do the opposite, let these people maximize their firepower on the offensive end, and solve the opponent in the most unreasonable way.
As long as you have a good accumulation, it's entirely possible to play this skill in an All-Star Game where the defensive intensity is not strong enough.
Kurt Rambis, on this matter, agrees with D. Wade.
The cheeks were obviously not optimistic that the first grade would be able to take out the second grade with a dignified formation, so he and Rambis had a conversation outside the locker room, and after pushing the door open, he continued to pour chicken soup:
"Boys, you did a great job in the first half, continue to increase your attacking intensity, try to beat the second year in the sharpest way, these guys are nothing to be afraid of, you're going to be another first year team to beat the second year. ”
"Of course!D. Wade, I can't wait!" said Michael Beasley, who had a pretty good time today and is currently the top scorer in his first year.
The first year decided to carry out the offense to the end, while the second year side once again clarified the offensive and defensive core and the end point of the offense.
Larry Drew seemed to finally remember his role as head coach after Howard fed the chicken soup, and he told the sophomores, "There's nothing more unbearable than failure!"
The second half began with the Phoenix fans cheering on, and the first- and second-year rookies returned to the court to decide the winner with 20 minutes remaining.
IN THE FIRST YEAR OF POSSESSION, ROSE QUICKLY DROVE THE BALL FORWARD, AND A CROSSOVER PASSED THE DEFENDER OF HIS STARKEY, AND UNDER THE BAG OF THE TWO BULLS AND HORFORD, HE THREW THE BALL TO BEASLEY IN THE BOTTOM CORNER.
Michael Beasley pulls out and hits a three-pointer!
Starkey dribbled past half court and made a mistake when passing to Durant, the basketball was predicted by Eric Gordon, and the round-faced den immediately dribbled the ball to the front court, and then passed the ball to Rudy Fernandez who cut in from behind.
The Spaniard dreamed of returning to the Olympics, and with a big stride, he threw off Thaddeus Young, who was defending him next to him, and won the one-arm split!
On the offensive end of the sophomore season, Durant missed a mid-range jumper, Marc Gasol carried Nguyen Erniu, and Beasley took the opportunity to grab the rebound and immediately passed to Derrick Rose.
Rose accelerated to break through, and Starkey, although he kept up with the Rose this time, was powerless to stop Rose from attacking the basket, and also paid a foul in the confrontation.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle blew first, and Rose opted for a pick-and-roll.
"Brush!"
Gliding in the air, a lightning-like extreme breakthrough, a desperate physical talent.
Rose played 2+1 and extended his first-year lead to over 10 points.
The first to gain the upper hand in the second half was not the sophomore team that had already defined the core of leadership, but the first-year rookies who were quite unreasonable and used their physical talents to take down everything.
In the next few rounds, although the two sides had their own offense and defense, the second year was never able to recover the score from behind, and the two teams entered the first official timeout of the second half.
Ruan Erniu understands that his players are a little shaken, but he must not be discouraged now, once he can't bite it, the game will end early.
"Cheer up! The rookies are shooting over 60 percent, which is by no means a normal number, we have to get serious on the defensive end, you should understand what it means to lose, we are the stronger side, don't let the good traditions of the second year be lost in our hands. ”
Ruan Erniu said it righteously, but when you think about it carefully, it really doesn't hold water, because it was Kraft Nguyen himself who led the first grade to break the monopoly and tradition of the second grade last year.
However, no one dares to pick on his thorn now, and the second year has re-boosted the morale and returned to the field, and this time they will not give the first year any more chances.
On the offensive end of the sophomore year, Ruan Erniu held the ball in the low post, suddenly turned around with a feint, and then cut in in the opposite direction, crushing Brook Lopez, who had just come on the court, and squeezed into the inside.
Lopez was still hesitating to stop it with a foul, but Ruan Erniu had already jumped high, dunked his hands violently, and pressed the basketball in.
Ruan Erniu roared angrily, representing the clarion call for the second-grade counterattack!
Zhang Lili on the sidelines said: "Beautiful! After the feint, immediately cut into the inside line, the speed is not bad with the guard ratio, Erniu is starting to get serious! The first grade should be careful, they have angered the strongest people on the field!"
What Director Zhang said is not accurate, because Ruan Erniu is not the only one who has entered the game at this moment.
